Whenever I attempted to force myself to drop weekly episodes consistently, I noticed the quality of the content was lacking. I also noticed I wasn't really enjoying my time with the mic. I felt a sense of anxiousness when I wasn't being consistent (because of life reasons). So much to the the point where one week without content led to weeks, months and eventually almost a whole year witho...

"There's ten thousand times more going on inside the head of a man than you have any idea.

So many of us consume things that don't add or bring any value or joy to our lives. But what about the things or the people that bring you value? What about that hobby? Or your overall lifestyle? If it adds value to your life and it isn't a hindrance in any way, then why stop? Why quit? Why punish yourself?

Congratulations to the Philadelphia Eagles for making it to the Super Bowl for the second time in three years. I'm excited about it but not too invested. Over the years I've opened my eyes to the lies and the bullshit that we are fed day in and day out. The creation of sport as a form of entertainment and distraction being one of them. I went down a few rabbit holes and the Roman Circus Th...

Happy 2025! Where does the time go? Doesn't it feel like a blur sometimes? But damn life is good. Every year we want to accomplish new goals. Or maybe accomplish some old ones. Whenever a new year approaches, we strive to do better. To be better, to do more and to be more. Let's just do it with gratitude, grace and intention. What will your 2025 look like?

Whenever we seek change or growth, we tend to look outside of ourselves. But true growth has to come from within. The inner changes will bring forth outer change and an overall better life. We also go into the new year making resolutions that most of us never stick to. Resolutions add stress, anxiety and overwhelm. Forget the resolutions. Reflect on the previous year. Make the necessary changes fo...

Those who know me know how much I enjoy running. For me, running is the ultimate stress reliever. Whenever I feel overwhelmed, anxious or depressed, I go for a run. Of course one of the greatest benefits of running is it is the perfect stress reliever. There are many other benefits of running such as it builds cardiovascular endurance, strong lungs and a strong heart. Running also builds strength...

Technology. Cell phones. Social Media. Zombie Scrolling. Television. Streaming Platforms. Binging. Entertainment. Addictions. Pleasures. Distraction. We don't use our brains like we used to. Or at all. We are distracted. We're chasing pleasures. We are not aware. We are asleep. We are easy targets. Through distractions, we are being kept from channeling a deeper part of ourselves. Our focu...

We are energy. We are electric. Positive energy will give us a boost in mood. Negative energy will drain us. So many of us are living life out of balance and out of sync with our inner Chi (Qi). We are disconnected from our spirit. We have imbalances that disrupt our quality of life. We're not looking inside ourselves to fix the issues. There's too many outer distractions. We are moving to...

Not many of us know this, but we are energy. So many of us are disconnected and out of balance with our energy. How can we put ourselves back in alignment with ourselves, the universe, and everyone and everything around us. We can start by understanding the 7 chakras. By studying, understanding, and knowing how to work with the 7 chakras from the root chakra to the crown chakra, we can live a life...

Way too many people wander aimlessly with unhealthy, inflamed, overweight bodies, suffering from chronic illnesses. So many of us are distracted with excessive blue light exposure, and overconsumption of what doesn't serve us. We're sick and divided and we're in so deep, we refuse to change or we think it's too late. Open your eyes. It's never too late to make a change. It'...

Overtrained. Under fed. Burnt out. Tired. Disconnected. Confused. Overwhelmed. Those are just a few words to describe what we feel when we get caught up in training too hard, training too often, not eating enough, weighing and measuring every single meal and counting every single calorie trying to chase the perfect body (which doesn't exist). It's just one huge mind f*@k. These obsessions...

I'm back! Again. This past month has been challenging to say the least. I haven't exactly been in the right headspace for content creation so I just had to take a step back to work on myself. I also dealt with a little bit of energy draining drama. Listen to find out.

As a teenager, I partied pretty hard, and I drank even harder. I was never an alcoholic but what's a party without some liquid courage? I'd stay up all night, well into the morning, drunk and hungry. Being intoxicated I made plenty of bad decisions and one of those bad decisions was eating super unhealthy food at six in the morning. I slept very little, I ate bad food, I was hungover more times th...
