Some of us have been living our lives one day at a time, moving towards our goals, slowly but surely. Then some are stuck in the past.

“I am enough,” a three-word sentence that carries exceptional weight. For some people, it’s the default to know their worth. But for others, it may take months or years to realize their worth. Sometimes our limiting beliefs play a role in the background. One minute you think you’re the most confident person alive; the next, you feel your confidence crumble because of something someone said. As an...

“To know and not do is just as good as not knowing.” A lot of you would relate to this because we are conditioned to listen to people who are close to us. We want to be loved, nurtured, and cared for, and we think these will come solely from friends and family. The point of this podcast is to be careful from whom you take advice from. Be a fruit inspector in your life. Be your own advocate and loo...

We are allowed to form our own opinions, and that means people won’t have the same thoughts about a certain topic as us. The problem these days doesn’t lie in the differences in opinions; it’s how we demonize those who don’t believe in what we believe in. We are all human beings, each with their own rights, so remember that in your day-to-day interactions and in how you look at those who differ fr...

If you’ve been measuring your happiness standard against those you see on social media, you are in for a ride.

In this episode, we dive deeper into the importance of understanding that you can’t be happy all the time,...

What happened as I was about to record today’s episode was so timely, and I tell you, if I had allowed my emotions to rule over me, this episode wouldn’t have happened.

So when you want to start this journey, it’s important to be aware of which emoti...
