YASKING with Anthony and Arturo
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.

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 intimacy
- How the nervous system responds to unsafe love
- Why your trauma may be choosing your partner
- And how to stop being a mirror for someone else’s projections
This 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.
