S2 Ep5 - PATTERNS OF DISCOMFORT 18.08.2025

How many times do the things that cause you discomfort have to repeat before we learn from them. Blinded by the bad repetitive behaviour we face, we are hopeful that the chances we give to others will eventually lead them to showing us the same respect that we have always showed them. The same issues that keep on arising are proof of someone being an opportunist who will always follow the same pre...

S2 Ep4 - DISTORTED TRUTH 18.08.2025

If you look close enough you will see more than the superficial, you will see the layers of alternative perspectives that open your eyes to the truth. Where the facts are being ignored lies are put in place to mask the truth of the true situation all to protect those who are willing to be honest from being punished for stating the obvious truth. People who are aware of the outcome of sharing their...

S2 Ep3 - FAILED TACTICS 03.06.2025

Those of us who recognise the selfish acts of people who use chameleon tactics to try to camouflage their true selfish intentions refuse to fall victim to their manipulative ways. The shifty chameleons dont like it when you can see through their lies and see them for who they really are because they strongly believe that they are smarter than those that they are trying to fool. Even though not eve...

S2 Ep2 - SHOWPONY IN DISGUISE 11.03.2025

Some people get frustrated if they are not the centre of attention all the time. When they are not included in the conversation they will pony around until the groups eyes are only on them. Showing off only when the crowd is watching them in the hope that you would see them as though they have things under complete control and that they are stand out happy all the time. Their disguise may please t...

S2 Ep1 - FAVOURITES 10.02.2025

Once you've reached the level of favoured you can do no wrong. You no longer have to share the repercussions of your actions that others have to face head on all because the others are seen in either a neutral or below neutral standing from those who are holding the power stick. Even though we are supposedly all part of the same team only the favoured have an unlimited get out of jail free cards f...

S1 Ep25 - TOO EASY TO HANDLE 23.04.2024

We strive to remove the hardship from our life so that we can live a life without stress and struggles, but its the intolerable levels of hardship that we have to face that has helped us in discovering our true potential. Living a life where the things that you desire are handed to you on a silver platter will only take your desire to try further away, because there is no sense of achievement for...

S1 Ep24 - NOT IN THE JOB DESCRIPTION 23.04.2024

Once you've made up your mind and decided what you want it's up to you alone to put steps in place in order to get yourself closer to your ideal job. This important decision shouldn't be taken lightly because it can sometimes seem an easy choice but when you have only focused on the advantages of the other job then its easy to fall in the trap of believing the grass is actually greener on the othe...

S1 Ep23 - I UNDERSTAND COMPLETELY 23.04.2024

We live in a world where there are rules put in place to keep things in an organised order rather than letting the chance of chaos to determine our fate. No matter whether it's right or wrong the order to things that keeps the momentum moving forward is regarded as the path that should be followed, so if your not keeping up with the direction that the world moves in then you'll be left behind no m...

S1 Ep22 - LOSE YOURSELF 25.03.2024

Growing up some of us thrive the more we tick off our bucket list while others dont even have a bucket list to check. Whether your one who's content with where you lie or you prefer to keep busy ticking as many boxes as you can, your reasons for doing what you do are your own. Desires that dont push you enough to stand up and move forward so that you could reach your full potential might feel like...

S1 Ep21 - UNIVERSAL TRUTH 25.03.2024

We are surrounded by information everyday, but how we interpret that information varies from individual to individual. People who believe in multiple truths will always highlight their views as "my truth" but if truth was based only on your own personal view point and not a universal view point then how are we ever as a society supposed to see eye to eye when there is conflict. Truth is universal...

S1 Ep20 - MY HAPPINESS IS IN MY HANDS 18.03.2024

We all like to receive a compliment here and there because it can have a positive impact on us, but that doesn't mean that we should solely rely on someone else's words to bring us up from feeling down. With or without the chosen compliment spoken we should always be happy with what we have in our life in order to be respectful to those who are less fortunate than we are. To those of you who refus...

S1 Ep19 - RIGHT LIFE 05.03.2024

The preferred lifestyle we all desire is based on our personal interests. Some of us chase fulfilling careers while others are content with a simpler lifestyle, both are right because it should be about each to the own as long as you don't affect someone else's dream. No matter what your passions are let them be the guide you to happiness and dont let the doubt of others lead you ashtray.

S1 Ep18 - I KNOW WHAT YOU KNOW, OR I GUESS I DO 29.02.2024

I dont need your help seems to be the first response to the question, Can I help you? We all like to feel that we are capable of handling any dramas in our life that come our way but this isn't always the case. Sometimes our ego can prevent us from asking for the help that we obviously need, all this does is hinder our own progression. This stance in our own stubbornness will only hold us back fro...

S1 Ep17 - LEAD BY EXAMPLE 29.02.2024

Leading by example may sound simple enough, but unless you practice what you preach you'll find out that the respect your expecting from your peers will never come. People will only follow your lead if they feel that the rules that you have put in place are for everyone equally to abide by and not just there when it suits your preferred situation. Respect will not sit well with those you surround...

S1 Ep16 - SHOTBEFORE PODCAST RECAP 26.02.2024

I thought it was time for a recap and an explanation of my intentions with my podcast.

S1 Ep15 - SHALLOW MIND 25.02.2024

Most people choose to only see the good qualities in others while that may at first glance seem to be an admirable quality to have, choosing to ignore the bad qualities is a show of weakness. We do not have the luxury to pick and choose what we consider a good quality in persons character so we choose to highlight it and ignore the less desirable qualities in someone by playing dumb never to admit...

S1 Ep14 - ISOLATION DESIRED 23.02.2024

Choosing to self isolate for most of your free time can show people that you don't want them to be an important part in your life. Separating yourself from the ones who love you can be considered a selfish act to those who just want to spend some meaningful time with you. Distancing yourself may give you some peace of mind to focus on yourself but eventually the distance you put between yourself a...

S1 Ep13 - DO YOU REMEMBER? 21.02.2024

We are our memories, it is our memories that we refer back to when we are trying to learn from our previous experiences. It is our lifes bookmarks that steers the direction of our path and can explain why we do the things that we do. What we choose to remember can highlight our priorities whether its consciously or subconsciously our brain chooses what it wants to retain. Negative experiences ling...

S1 Ep12 - UNDER THE RUG 19.02.2024

Throughout our life we are faced with various challenges that can either have a positive or a negative impact not only on our own life but on the life of those in our social circle. This is why it is is important that when we make choices that are life changing that we take full responsibility for our actions and not play the blame game when put on spot. When we are faced with a dilemma our action...

S1 Ep11 - SHAMED NOT TO REPEAT 19.02.2024

Shame can be a great preventative because it can be the barrier that reminds us of who we are and where our line is. The rules we live by and stand by are put in place so that we don't compromise our preferred set values. Your line is defined by your moral compass so if you adjust your base line just to benefit your own selfish needs then you will find it harder and harder to grasp onto the person...

S1 Ep10 - LOYALTIES ON LOW 15.02.2024

Loyalty seems to be on the decline, its no longer the standard trait that comes with having any kind of relationship. Now there are certain evolving provisos in any relationship where what used to be a simple show of mutual respect to one another has now changed in favour for those whose voice is louder than their peers. Those that are in the lime light who proudly voice their longings out loud cr...

S1 Ep9 - NEVER FORGET WHERE YOU COME FROM 15.02.2024

Throughout our life we strive for more because we believe that once we have more of whatever we desire that we would reach our utopian lifestyle. We believe our life will improve if we put all our time in focusing only on the steps that will get us closer to the things we dream of. Whether its fame fortune  or anything in between we believe that the sooner we reach our goals the sooner we wil...

S1 Ep8 - ADVANTAGE ME 12.02.2024

The opportunist of the world like to take advantage of people's placid nature because they believe that their chosen victim is too relaxed to speak up and take a stand. Their line of thought is that if you arent going to speak up and stand up for yourself then no harm no foul. The voluntary victims can feel conflicted when they catch on to game that they are forced to play and are in two minds whe...

S1 Ep7 - IT WORKS FOR ME 12.02.2024

The common mistake that people make when they are trying to advise someone about changing their lifestyle is that they are purely focused on what has worked for them rather than thinking about what would be beneficial for the other person. They believe that if someone took their advice and followed it to the letter that they too would be as happy as  they are, even though what may feel like a...
