Your Enriched Self

The time is now to refocus on the fundamentals. It is so easy to fall in love with the next best thing or try a new strategy. But until you master the basics, the road traveled only gets more complicated. It takes courage to get back to the basics because it means you recognize you need help and you are willing to go back to start. The starting point is likely where you had your first victory. And...

Have you ever made plans for a Saturday night or maybe lunch plans with a friend? At every turn, we seem to be making plans for something. Unfortunately, so many of us miss the opportunity to plan for our life. In this week’s episode, we explore how we can apply the same focus to plan the events in our lives to set up our lives. Benjamin Franklin summarized it best, “If You Fail to Plan, You Are P...

We know it and hear all the time that change is an inevitable part of life. So why do we find it hard to embrace the need to change? Or why do we get intimidated when we see someone else change? You hear it in comments like, “you’ve changed” or “you act differently”! Perhaps we say phrases like this because we are uncomfortable with change. In a post from Psychology Today, the author shared that w...

When we think of resistance, it’s often associated with denying ourselves of it or fighting against something. But what if you dared to embrace resistance? In this week’s episode, I share my experience on how embracing resistance was an assistance to me. So much so, I am forever changed and willing to include resistance to my activities in life. Adding this contrast to our everyday life is simply...

Have you ever felt buried and not planted? Well, you are not alone. This week's episode is a reminder, never underestimate the power of a planted seed. We often mistake the dark place where the seed gets planted as a place of burial. It's the place where the development takes place. Your dreams are still alive and like a seed, you must keep nurturing until it grows. Question of the week: Are you s...

Everybody was given a gift to share their unique talents with the world. And when you are out of alignment with that, it's hard to be fully present. Today is the day to embrace your talents and show up boldly; people are counting on you. Are you ready to visualize your highest self and start to show up from that place? I can recall missing that mark. For too long, I hid my authenticity to avoid un...

Have you ever asked yourself the question, when will it be my turn? It may be a valid question, but it is not a valued question. Questions like this add no value to your story and offer no momentum to press forward. Instead, it keeps you locked in a repetitive start-stop cycle. And very soon, you adopt the strategy to hit restart week over week. Unfortunately, that can repeat over several years. O...

What's the life hack to deal with fear? Embrace it! I used to have fear hold me back because I was concerned with perfection. But one day, my coach and mentor introduced me to sloppy progress, and my life will never be the same. On my journey, I've learned the value of fear and how I can use it to appreciate contrast like sloppy progress. I also learned what to look out for, so fear won't hold you...

The ultimate pursuit in life is love. How do you pursue self-love? You hear it all the time, self-love is the best love, so what does that look like to walk it out daily. It starts with accepting yourself where you are, with what you have, on the journey right now. Adopting a belief system about yourself that you are valuable and you matter. This week, we talk about a few other standards of self-l...

Sometimes, it’s hard to see things clearly with so much happening in and around you. And with a to-do list that seems to grow longer by the day, it is hard not to feel confused. This week we explore how to navigate those unsettling thoughts. Interestingly, you are likely to walk through the confusion on your road to clarity. Here is how you move from confusion to clarity: 1. First of all, take not...

Are you prioritizing rest? In a society that glorifies the grind, it’s easy to fall prey to burnout. I get it, “team no sleep” had you winning, but that is no long-term strategy. Even your mobile phone needs a refresh and a recharge at the end of the day. If you’ve ever been an outpatient, you are probably guilty of skipping out on rest. Unfortunately, this can become a habit, and eventually, you...

When was the last time you checked in with yourself? Checking in with you should be a daily proactive habit. But in a get-up-and-go lifestyle, we seldom make room for our growth. And like a checking or savings account, it needs regular deposits to grow. And if you're not careful, you can find your life account in overdraft. It can leave you with a negative balance on plans, goals, and your purpose...

Your words are part of the dress rehearsal for your life. Yes, the words you speak about YOU are the seeds you plant in your garden of life.

Your words are dynamic seeds of creation and can transform you and those around yo...

Why do we go to great lengths to avoid pain? When we work through the discomfort, we find our accomplishments on the other side. There are benefits of transformation and growth, but we prefer to skip all the responsibilities of the transformation and growth. To sum it up, pain around growing never feels good. And the reality is pain is a necessary ingredient for change. This week we discuss three...

Do you fear failure? Everybody does to some degree. Even the idea of failing can keep people back from aiming higher and pressing forward. Some see failure as fatal, but there is life after you fail. This week we explore this “f-word” and engage in how we can take a step back to glean lessons from failure. When you take time to work through it, you find your best learning comes from your best teac...

My world radically changed when I began to adopt Gratitude as a way of life. This week we take a deep dive into what it looks like when we engage in a daily practice of Gratitude. It's a unique approach on what it truly looks like to walk it out. The goal is to challenge your thinking and help you get your "soul beat" back.
