YASKING with Anthony and Arturo
by Anthony Catalino and Arturo Diaz
Everything that makes you human—messy relationships, career pivots, body-and-mind resets, political hot takes, creative breakthroughs, and those “holy-crap-that-hit-deep” moments in between. Anthony Catalino (life coach, high-vibe instigator) and Arturo Diaz (truth-seeker, heartfelt storyteller) swing from irreverent banter to brutal honesty as they dismantle the stories you’ve been told about worth, love, success, and healing.No topic is off-limits, no feeling too messy. Pull up your headphones, grab a notebook (or a tissue), and get ready to laugh, cry, and maybe spit out your coffee—because it’s time to stop hustling for someone else’s approval and start owning every single damn chapter of your journey.Ready to swap “lost” for “remembered”? Come YASK the big questions and join a tribe that refuses to apologize for their becoming.

Let It In: Receiving, Rewiring, and the Magic You Keep Blocking
Most of us don’t need more vision boards.We need nervous systems that feel safe to receive the very thing we’ve been asking for.In this week’s YASKING, Anthony and Arturo crack open the tender, taboo, and wildly misunderstood art of receiving — not just abundance, not just love, but the kind of self-allowance that rewires your entire life. Through four soul-shifting quotes (and a few very real analogies involving baby grand pianos and bike rides with fireflies), we explore:– Why abundance isn’t something you earn — it’s something you let in – How self-worth shapes every relationship you attract – The energetic frequency that’s running your whole life (yes, even your barista’s mood) – Why the package you’re praying for might not look like your vision boardThis isn’t an episode about manifesting more. It’s about getting out of your own damn way because the work isn’t to force it.The work is to stop blocking the magic.So take a breath.Soften.And ask yourself:What if the only thing between you and everything you want… is your willingness to receive it?Tune in to "YASKing with Anthony and Arturo" on Apple Podcasts and Spotify.

You Don’t Have a Manifesting Problem — You Have a Receiving Problem
You say you want the love, the money, the peace… but can you actually let yourself have it?In this episode of YASKING, Arturo and Anthony crack open one of the most overlooked blocks in personal growth: the inability to receive. Not because you’re lazy. Not because you’re not “doing enough.” But because your nervous system — and your conditioning — is wired for self-protection, not openness.We talk about:Why ease often feels unsafe (and how to shift that)The trap of efforting, control, and chronic provingHow childhood, culture, and trauma shape our relationship to joyAnd what it actually looks like to rewire your system to receive — without guilt, without hustle, and without shrinkingThis one’s not about “hacks” — it’s about truth.You're allowed to let it be good.Tune in to "YASKing with Anthony and Arturo" on Apple Podcasts and Spotify.

The Stories That Keep Us Stuck: Letting go of Toxic Relationships
Some quotes don’t just call up patterns — they ask you to finally break them.In this episode, Anthony and Arturo unpack four quotes that struck a nerve — about self-abandonment, over-giving, childhood conditioning, and the hope that keeps us holding on long after something stops being good for us.Arturo explores the emotional residue of toxic relationships, what it means to stop shrinking for love, and how walking away can become an act of remembering who you are.Anthony opens up about addiction, family, and the stories we inherit — and how healing begins when we choose truth over performance.Together, we ask:What if the pain you’re carrying isn’t the problem — but the story that told you to stay?Because toxic relationships might be teachers, but they’re not home.And the real work is learning how to choose yourself — again and again.Tune in to "YASKing with Anthony and Arturo" on Apple Podcasts and Spotify.

The Truth About Toxic Relationships: Why You Stay, Shrink, and Break Your Own Heart
What if the love that’s been breaking you… was actually pointing you back to yourself?In this episode, we get painfully honest about toxic relationships — the ones that look like connection on the outside but feel like walking on eggshells inside. Whether it's a partner, a parent, a boss, or a best friend, we unpack how unhealed childhood dynamics keep us chasing familiar pain in adult relationships.Arturo opens up about the subtler forms of toxicity that shaped him — emotional gaslighting, conditional love, control disguised as care — and what it really takes to break the cycle. Anthony speaks to the courage it takes to stop performing for love, and why walking away is more spiritual than dramatic.Together, we explore:Why we mistake intensity for intimacyHow the nervous system responds to unsafe loveWhy your trauma may be choosing your partnerAnd how to stop being a mirror for someone else’s projectionsThis episode is a permission slip to grieve what never really felt safe — and to reclaim your worth without needing to earn it.Because peace isn’t passive. It’s powerful.YASKING with Anthony & Arturo is a weekly podcast about emotional fitness, queer healing, self-worth, and the audacity to take up space. Part soul work. Part storytelling.

Breaking the Pattern, Wearing the Crown
In this week’s YASKING, Arturo and Anthony return to the origin of the show’s name to unpack what it really means to claim your worth, crown yourself daily, and stop waiting for permission to take up space.Arturo opens up about doing inner child work and how, in the middle of healing, he found himself attracting familiar pain in partners and workplaces that mirrored early wounds. He talks about survival, shame, energetic frequency, and the rituals that helped him stay connected to his worth when everything else was stripped away.Anthony shares what it means to detach from old ideas of value, body image, and achievement. He reflects on the ways he used to measure his worth, and how learning to appreciate himself, just as he was, helped him move through addiction, body shame, and self-abandonment.We explore intimacy as a mirror, the law of attraction, daily rituals, energy shifts, and, yes, the spiritual significance of peanut butter and jelly sandwiches.You’re not waiting to become the king.
