Season 2

Broken. Rebuilt. Unstoppable.

She didn't just survive — she came back swinging. In this episode of Deep Naked Thoughts, I sit down with Elicia Ybarra — 4th Dan black belt in Taekwondo, 1st Dan in Hapkido, women's self-defense expert, and founder of Pretty Hands Hard Punches. Elicia has spent over 20 years in martial arts, and what she experienced inside that world could have destroyed her. Instead, it defined her mission. We go deep on the love of the art, the betrayal that happened within it, the long road to healing, and how Elicia turned her pain into a movement to protect and empower women everywhere. This conversation is raw, real, and necessary. If you have daughters, students, or women you love — this episode is for them too. About Pretty Hands, Hard Punches: Pretty Hands, Hard Punches is a women's self-defense program dedicated to empowering women to take control of their safety and their voices. The mission goes far beyond physical technique — it's about building confidence, resilience, and mental preparedness to handle any situation life throws your way. Through practical training, physical conditioning, powerful public speaking, and community workshops, Elicia helps women recognize red flags before danger strikes, set firm boundaries, and move through the world with awareness and courage. Whether she's on the mat or on a stage, she creates space where women grow stronger, become more alert, and step fully into their own power. This is more than self-defense. This is a movement. 🔗 Find Elicia Ybarra: 🥋 Website: https://www.prettyhandshardpunches.com 📱 Instagram: @prettyhandshardpunches 📚 Books Elicia mentioned: — The Body Keeps the Score by Bessel van der Kolk — The Gift of Fear by Gavin de Becker — Duck Duck Groom — an unflinching look at how predators identify and groom victims 🎙️ Podcast Elicia mentioned: — A Little Bit Culty hosted by Sarah Edmondson — and Sarah's memoir connected to her experience leaving a high-control group Follow Deep Naked Thoughts: 📱 @deepnakedthoughts across all platforms

Why Dr. Z Says Loving Your Enemy Is Not Weakness — It Is Power

What if everything you thought you knew about love was wrong? Most people treat love like a feeling. Something that happens to you. Something you fall into or out of. But Dr. Z — philosophy professor, deep thinker, and one of the most loved educators at Doña Ana Community College in Las Cruces — says that is exactly backwards. Love is not something you feel. It is something you choose. Every single day. Even for the people who hurt you. Even for your enemies. In this episode of Deep Naked Thoughts, Dr. Frank Zamora breaks down one of the most challenging and misunderstood ideas in philosophy, psychology and spirituality. We go deep on the concept of volition, the power of forgiveness, what "Love Thy Enemy" really means beyond religion, and why choosing love is not weakness — it is the most powerful thing a human being can do. This is not a feel-good conversation. This is a mind-shifting one. If you have ever struggled to forgive someone, felt divided from the world around you, or wondered whether real love is even possible in a world this broken — this episode was made for you. 🎙️ Full episode on YouTube and Spotify now. 📲 Follow Dr. Z: Doña Ana Community College — Las Cruces, NM @theschoolforgrowth@gmail.com 📲 Follow Deep Naked Thoughts: Instagram: @deepnakedthoughts TikTok: @valeriaosollo YouTube: @DeepNakedThoughts Spotify: Deep Naked Thoughts #DrZ #FrankZamora #LoveIsAChoice #DeepNakedThoughts #Philosophy #Forgiveness #LoveThyEnemy #Leadership #Resilience #Spirituality #InnerPeace #MindsetMatters #Podcast #LasCreuces #GrowthMindset

“The Silent Mental Health Crisis Of New Motherhood”

Everyone prepares you for the baby… but almost no one prepares you for what happens to you. In this episode of Deep Naked Thoughts, Victoria shares her personal experience with postpartum depression and the realities many parents face after having a baby. We talk about the difference between baby blues and postpartum depression, how hormonal changes impact mental health, and how to recognize when professional help may be needed. We also explore postpartum anxiety, the importance of sleep and support systems, identity shifts in motherhood, and why many parents quietly grieve the life they had before becoming a parent. Victoria shares practical grounding techniques, ways couples can better support each other, and why emotional awareness tools like the feelings wheel can help parents better understand what they’re experiencing. This conversation also shines a light on something rarely discussed — fathers can experience postpartum depression too. If you’re a new parent, expecting parent, or supporting someone through this transition, this episode offers insight, validation, and practical tools for navigating mental health after having a baby. #PostpartumDepression#PostpartumMentalHealth#MotherhoodJourney#NewMomLife#ParentMentalHealth#PostpartumAnxiety#MotherhoodUnfiltered#MentalHealthMatters#NewParentSupport#MomLifeRealTalk#FatherhoodMatters#ParentingReality#DeepNakedThoughts#EmotionalWellness#HealingJourney

“The Reality Of Survival: From Immigrant Roots To Beating Cancer”

We grew up as immigrant kids starting from nothing — no furniture, strict but loving parents, and a constant need to stay out of trouble in order to survive. We learned early how to adapt, how to be tough, and how to keep going even when the odds weren’t in our favor. From a rough neighborhood and challenging schools to building careers, pursuing education, and finding purpose, our paths were shaped by resilience. For my brother, that journey included military service and surviving cancer — a life-altering experience that redefined what strength, success, and gratitude truly mean. In this episode, we talk about: • Growing up poor and learning to survive early • Immigration, assimilation, and identity • Strict parenting as protection, not punishment • Brotherhood, discipline, and the military • Facing cancer and redefining strength • Lessons learned from hardship and survival • Where we’re headed next — with intention and purpose This conversation is about setbacks, comebacks, and the power of family. It’s proof that where you start does not get to decide where you finish. If this episode resonates, consider sharing it with someone who needs hope today.
