Let’s face it, we know what we need to do, but we don’t do it. The reason why we stall is deeply rooted in how we feel about ourselves. It took me years to realize that procrastination is a symptom, not the root cause. The reality is that we live in an illusion, and society as a whole wants to keep us that way. We are attracted by the bright shiny object syndrome and instant gratification. We seek...

In this episode, I share with you the effect it had on me to declutter 30 years of accumulated stuff, mainly books, my educational background, and old bills.

The subject of hiding is close to my heart because I’ve been hiding for most of my life. Not knowing the cause as to why I was hiding, I settled to play safe. I’m bringing this subject up in the hope that it inspires you to step into your greatness.

The statistic says 75% of the working force in North America are disenchanted with their job; oftentimes because they don’t feel valued or heard. Drawn from personal experience, for the first 20 years of my working life, I worked with tyrants employers, where bullying was typical. The sad reality is, we often love our job and need it because our loved one depends on us to support them. But w...

  I feel we are currently being presented with fake news designed to bring us in a state of lack or in fear. I no longer know who to really believe. Do you feel that too? For example, let’s take the amount of hype around CBD. The question is, how easily persuadable are you?  I’m bringing this up because I’m actually wondering who is getting rich and what’s their true p...

Anything that is meant to divide, where you feel isolated and alone, it will weaken your ability to grow and prosper. Have you ever noticed that for centuries, the leaders of our society have mastered the ability to bring fear in our life? It includes the religion by making us fear the devil and a place called hell, the school by making us feel bad if we don’t have good grades, the politician who...

Do you cling onto your past?  Are you afraid of letting go of what once was?   In this episode, I’m sharing my friend Emma’s struggle in taking care of her aging mom and how much it takes a toll on her health. As she shared some details, I noticed her struggles were related to clinging onto the past.  It made me wonder why do we hold on to the past? In the case of Emma, her refusal to accept the c...

In this episode, I’m drawing a parallel between the release of a condor into the wild and when, as an entrepreneur, we take that leap of faith to jump in order to soar into new heights. Taking flight takes place inside your heart.  You soar when the mind, heart, and soul are in total alignment.  You do and share what you love, and in doing so, it helps you grow. Often, we take a pause just before...

Frequently we get a hunch or an awareness that something is not right. We may choose to follow our intuition and other times we ignore it only to regret it later. Women tend to be more intuitive or at least, in my circle of friends, we talk more about it.   I’m bringing this subject up because as an entrepreneur, I do not have a clear roadmap as to what exact steps is going to work...

In this episode, I share with you how Coca-Cola was created. I came across the story in Napoleon Hill’s book “Think and Grow Rich,” Chapter 6 Imagination. I am fascinated with the story because it shows that for any idea, it’s all about perspective. The doctor was happy to sell his idea for $500 so that you would be able to pay his debts and retire peacefully. The clerk was willing to take a big c...

A critical ingredient to building an enterprise from the ground up is having faith in your ability. Faith is the antidote to fear and is the light that guides you while traveling towards uncertainty. We receive messages as gut feelings and hunches. The message is always there; however, not easy to pay attention when we are distracted. A few weeks ago, as I visited my ex. Husband and my son, I noti...

Have you ever been in a situation where you want something that is being promoted to you, but you are not sure if you should go for it or not? You may instinctively call a friend to ask for advice, go online to check the reviews, or you may simply walk away in fear that this offer is too good to be true. There always come a time when there is no unbeaten path, and you are the only person who can d...

For most of my life, I lived in a state of mind that kept me in a time warp illusion where I was lacking time and money. I wondered what was keeping there and how to get out of the illusion. I now know the one thing that is between what we would love doing and our “stuckness” is fear.  Fear will stop us from growing and expanding. For example, I’ve heard in the past people saying, “I wish I had my...

I want to take a few moments to celebrate Happy Father’s day. Second, I’m also celebrating the 75th podcast episode. Using this podcast show as an example, I’m going to share with you the five steps in achieving your Garden of success. First, do what you love while knowing your end in mind.  In my case, I started the podcast because I needed to share my message and practice my voice before go...

When we drive and get lost, we have the luxury to pull over and check on google for direction. Or we can call a friend. When we chose to follow our heart, there is no clear path, and nothing will give us certainty except trusting ourselves. There is no clear road to our destiny. All that we have is our gut instinct guiding us one step at a time. Doing something we love is what keeps us on cou...

A few months ago, I attended a networking event. It was mainly an older group of women entrepreneur. To my surprise, a younger man named Bob showed up. Although I was curious about his purpose to be there, I never connected with him until the end when people were leaving. As we exchange a few words, Bob’s look reminded of an old friend that I met in my 20’s, which brought exciting memories. It ope...

First, I want to acknowledge that today is Memorial Day and I want to take a moment to say thank you to all military service men and women for your service in keeping us safe and free in this country. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. I feel it also would be wise to define the word Alchemy before going into the subject.  It started centuries ago when people were looking for ways to conve...

I describe Oneness when we feel whole, and we love unconditionally. When we don’t feel whole, we think we are lacking something. It shows up as a lack of self-love. Most of the time, we don’t know this is what’s going on as we are not aware of our state of mind. Depending on how affected we are, we will react differently to life’s challenges.  We may live with resentment and frustration in ou...

Your destiny depends on your thoughts, the decision you take and how you act toward them. Even deciding not to take action is a decision. Fear is often the root cause behind self-doubt and lack of decision. In this state of mind, the mind becomes confused which leads to a lack of clarity. The most significant symptom: “I know what I don’t want, but I don’t know what I want.” This is the...
