Welcome to Episode 34
"Practicing the Art of Loving Yourself"
In this episode, learn what it means to love yourself and maintain a strong sense of self-worth, even when viewing yourself through your mistakes, failures, insecurities, or critical of yourself.

I go through some simple yet challenging techniques and tools you can begin to apply. Find ways to learn to love yourself and become more confident and happier. Learn and practice being kind to yourself, changing your views and how you speak to yourself.

Begin to ask yourself these questions:
-Are you kind to yourself?
-Do you ever focus on your strengths?
-Have you tried to apply mindfulness in those challenging moments of not loving yourself?
-Do you ever get caught in the comparison trap?
-Do you know or need to know how to set Healthy Boundaries into place?
-Have you dealt with the shame/guilt and learn to love yourself unconditionally? No one is perfect!
-Have you reflected on how much you have grown?
-Have you forgiven yourself of past choices?
-Have you ever sought healing and looked at those inner wounded parts that self or others have wounded?
-Do you have a tribe (support); they need you, and you need them)

*** I will leave you with this quote by C.S. Lewis.
"You can't go back and change the beginning, but you can start where you are and change the ending.

Welcome to Episode  33, “Let’s play the movie.” 

How much time do you think you spend worrying about certain things in your life?

When we are there, we tend to play the worst-case scenario, yet it may never come true. There is a difference between worry vs. reality.  The difference between what COULD happen isn’t the same as what WILL happen.

So when we run into different areas in our lives and tend to be worrywart, I like to say, “Let’s play the movie.”  Let’s explore together the most likely outcome in your situation rather than the worst possible outcome. 

Tune in today as I give you some practical steps that you can apply regarding your worry! After you have asked yourself these questions, how has your worried changed?

EP 32 “Identify your ruts so that you can create new trenches in your life.”

One of the main problems we do as individuals are attacking our problem versus going after the problem and not getting to the root.

We focus solely on our behaviors by committing to start or stop doing something called behavior modification. We’ve all done it where we’ve made a New Year’s resolution or said we would stop doing something and then went back to our old ways. 

Tune in today as I give you some tips on identifying your old mental ruts and creating new trenches in your life, and begin to make a declaration. 

Overall I challenge you to write it; think it, and confess it. Honestly, if you want to change your life, you must change the way that your thinking.

EP 31 "Could our sufferings have been for a more significant cause?

Do you ever wonder if all the suffering that you have endured was for a greater purpose?

If you found healing in those life experiences, this should ignite hope within you that you made it through and can give hope to others that they can make it through as well. But, unfortunately, there are similar scars all around you that are slowly dying and losing hope.

There are wounds and scars we hide so well that can bring healing to someone else's life, which means that others around you need hope, healing, and freedom, and you can be the carrier of it.

Every part of your life experience is part of the story for someone else. So let's take a look at a time in your life where there was a need, and you fulfilled it. How did you feel?

So I want to ask what the need around you is?

What would you be doing on this earth if you knew your days were numbered?

Tune in as I share some of my similar scars and life experiences. That held me back from living, freedom, and satisfaction. The world needs you and those life experiences! It's time to begin to wonder if all the suffering you have endured was for a greater purpose.

Welcome to Episode 30

“Crossed Wires and Ways to Rewire our brain.”

Why does it seem like our lives aren’t working when we need them to work?

Why do we make so many irrational decisions?

Examples:

Arguing with your significant other, and you continue to tell yourself to stop arguing yet continue to do so.

Or you worry about something knowing fully well that we can’t change anything by worrying.

Or scrolling on your phone and being on social media instead of spending that time with your family or doing something else that could be productive. So why do we do the things that we do? Why do we make so many self debilitating decisions?

We have crossed wires; we need to look at how our brain works.

Do you know that you can condition your brain into thinking whatever those unhealthy patterns are? We prepare our brains to believe what we believe. Our brains are designed to look for ways and create neurological pathways to keep thinking and doing what you’re doing.

What things in your life have placed you in a rut in your thinking that now is playing out in your behaviors? What lies have crossed your wires in your brain? Then, tune in as I share some tips on beginning to learn how to rewire your brain and identity some unhealthy patterns within yourself!

Welcome to Episode 29

“Did you know we are products of our past but don’t have to be a prisoner of it?”

This was a famous quote by Rick Warren, and ever since I heard it helps to remind me that I am no longer a prisoner of my past! So many of us spend so much energy living in our past. So often, our history comes with life experiences that can be extremely hard to face, and those experiences have created almost a counterfeit or a clone of who you are called to be. In today’s topic, I share how I allowed my past to dictate me for many years. Areas where I was no longer growing but dying in.

Do you know how many people are waiting to hear about your story? But because you still feel that your pass stick dictates you, it’s made you become a prisoner of it. I want to challenge you and think of how you have allowed your previous life experience to dictate your behavior in the present. What steps have you taken or can you begin to take to ensure that your past does not dictate your behavior moving forward. Starting to live a life of freedom that you were called to live and only looking at your history as part of your story will help heal others.

EP 18 “What vulnerability is, and why it’s good for us, it’s time to drop your guard, ladies, and gentlemen.”

There I was peeking in a spinning class and decided that I may give it a try! After watching how all the “fit” people came in immediately, my palms got sweaty, and I had anxiety and thought to myself, “Why in the world did I ever think I could do this”? I am not fit to be here! Ha! Guess what I was brave and faced that giant and cycled away that day!

How hard is it for you to be vulnerable? To place yourself in situations that make you feel uncomfortable, have you ever asked why I am uncomfortable? It’s time to get to know the why behind it!

In today’s episode, I share some of the “why” we have a problem with being vulnerable and how it can be good for us. Do you know that a lot of times, we resist being weak due to our life experiences?

Tune in as I share how our hearts never heal and will always remain hardened and guarded until you decide to drop your guard! It’s time to say to that guard of your palace, “YOUR FIRED”! Healthy things will only come your way when we allow ourselves to be vulnerable.

I share tips on how to begin to become aware and step out and be brave! #doitafraid has always been my motto!

As Brene Brown would say, “Vulnerability is not a weakness; it's our most significant measure of courage.”

Welcome to Episode 12, "Matters of the Heart"

A lot of times, we are pretty good about monitoring our behaviors, thoughts, and actions. Do you ever wonder why we do certain things or act a certain way, wondering why I said or did that?

We are not good about monitoring our hearts, which can be complicated because everything we do stems from our hearts. Out of the abundance of our hearts, the mouths speak.

Our hearts are like a simmering volcano of things taking place in our lives, unaware of what is genuinely taking place in our hearts. At times what you do not know CAN hurt you!

This episode aims to help you become aware of the secrets in our hearts; in case you were not aware, those things always come out and find their way into our homes, lives, workplaces, and relationships. Reflecting on your recent thoughts, words, and actions reveals what is going on in your heart.

Be sure to tune in to this episode as I discuss different areas where we can be like that simmering volcano.

Welcome to Episode 10

The Forgiveness Effect Pt. 4 "The Deepening Phase"

In this episode, during the deepening phase of forgiveness, he will further decrease the negative emotions associated with the offense. You may even find meaning in the experiences and have now recognized ways in which you’ve grown from it as the result of extending forgiveness.

At this stage, you have already gone through steps 1-3(Uncover, Deciding, and Working). If you have not, go back and review episodes 7, 8, and 9 so you can fully understand this episode and the Deepening stage.

In this stage, begin to ask yourself these questions:

-How have you benefited by forgiving the person that has hurt you?

-How did forgiveness affect your emotional health and behavioral changes?

-Think of a time when you forgave. how did it feel?

-Reflect on how you have grown because and efforts to forgive.

-Would you consider a stronger person today than you were before deciding to forgive?

***Remember the rope analogy I used in Ep. 9. It is about no longer allowing those people and feelings to control you.

You have a choice to uncover, decide, work through, and deepening your understanding of forgiveness. Make sure you cross your name on the list as well! You're worthy of forgiveness!

Welcome to Episode 9- The Forgiveness Effect Pt. 3-The Working Phase

In this episode, during the work phase, you will start to understand the offender in a new way, which will allow positive feelings toward the offender and yourself.

Begin to learn & understand the offender, and seeing them as more than their wrongdoing, is an integral part of forgiveness.

I give tips in probing yourself these questions:

-What was life like for the offender as they grew up?

-May this has impacted their behavior?

-What was life like for the offender at the time of the offense?

Remember, hurt people hurt people and at times not intentionally.

You may not know the two questions, but possibly look at the last one and apply.

Welcome to the Carriers of Host Podcast | Breathing Hope One Life at a TIme

4 Pillars: Mindset + Identity + Faith + Relationships

Are you tired of always striving for something and ending up at a dead-end?

Are you sick of searching in all the wrong places in hopes that you will find your true identity?

Do you want to find healing and walk in that freedom that it brings?

Do you want to have authentic relationships in your day-to-day life?

This podcast will help you find truth, healing, and freedom and empower you to find your true identity. You will learn how to apply practical tools that will bring forth healing from your past wounds, break away from your negative mindset, and rewrite your story.

Hi, I am your host Sandy Cortes, and I'm here to breathe hope one life at a time and walk alongside you into this journey. I've had many life challenges, including seeking approval from others, struggling with perfectionism, and having unhealthy mindsets. I did all of this in the hopes of trying to fit into what others wanted me to be without ever having a voice. I am living proof that restoration can be achieved, allowing you to live your life to the fullest. By applying the biblical truths learned, I was able to erase the lies that had been spoken over me and that I had to come to believe as truth. God gave each of us a story, and the things that we have gone through are not in vain. They are chapters in our ever-evolving story.

If you're willing and ready to begin to apply life applications, restore hope in your hearts, find truths to the lies and change those negative mindsets, then you've come to the right place.

Let's begin the journey to help you start living the life that you were intended to live. So grab your pen and paper, and let's begin to rewrite your story.
