Having the social and emotional intelligence to be unapologetically yourself without diminishing others or believing/acting like you are better than others, is something that we will work on throughout our lives. There will always be change and uncertainty, situations and people that will test what we have learn about ourselves, and measure our ability to respond from our centre and not react from our ego.
We talk about the theory explained by Stephen Covey, the Circle of Influence and the Circle of Concern and how you can apply this theory in your daily life.

As humans we strive for the illusion of safety and we find it in comfort, in our habitualness and things we know. Which is why when big life changes come knocking at our door we resist, we resist the change that will destabilize that safety, and by resisting we are choosing to suffer.
In this episode we talk about trust and acceptance and how we can apply them when big life changes come knocking at our door.

In today’s episode we are tackling the four walls that build our comfort zone. What is it? Do we have to get out? What happens if we do? and what happens if we don’t? Scary if we do and if we don’t… but what’s on the other side of each of them?
We talk about transformation, the process of becoming who we are meant to be, the best version you can imagine for yourself. Going through the three U's, the uncomfortable, unfamiliar and where you might be unexperienced we face the four walls of our comfort zone:
-
Past
-
Fear
-
Believes
-
Limiting Conversations

This episode explores the tagline of this podcast: If I have myself I have it all - this is a quote that I came up with recently after years on my journey of personal development and it is actually what inspired the launch of this podcast. I was Born to Transform myself as many times as necessary to discover more of myself and the world around me, to be who I need to be in order to put my gifts at the service of helping others.
When you can find a balance within your bodies, mind, soul, emotions and physical body you can rely on that stability from within. No matter what happens outside you are always going to be able to rely on yourself.

This episode dives into personal power. What is it? How can we find it? Why is it important?
We explore themes such as acceptance, healing and practicing authenticity as three main pillars for pealing the layers of our mask and finding our essence and personal power within.
How much time and energy do we spend taking care or worrying about your physical body? We are very aware of what makes us feel good physically whether is in terms of exercise or nutrition, but what about our other three bodies?
In this episode we talk about P.E.M.S (Physical, Emotional, Mental and Spiritual Bodies). What are they? How are they integrated into ourselves and how are they connected to each other?
Let's learn to live in balance with every aspect of our being. Our body, emotions, thoughts, and connections.

I designed this podcast to hold space for hard questions, allow ourselves to be vulnerable, courageous and create expansion within ourselves. Sometimes we will have guest, some others it’ll be just you and me.
I was born to transform myself over and over again, and I’m here to share my experiences and the experiences of those around me. This journey is for life. We will never reach a point where we can say. "Ah okay now I understand and know myself and the world completely" - because we are always evolving. It’s part of our nature.
But I believe that going through this journey together will make it so much better, easier, fun and we’ll create a community of people who understand the process, people who we will rely on.
I hope you enjoy and find value in this podcast as much as I have loved the process and all the knowledge and stories you'll hear.
Sandra Moros is our special guest on today's episode of Toolbox for your Soul, sharing her recent experiences with her spiritual journey. We talk about how working on our inner self is changing our social, economical and political structures as collectively we are channeling more love and understanding into the world.
We discovered our spiritual awakening experience was very similar and talked about the importance of acknowledging the spiritual process/journey looks and feels different for everyone.
Starting a journey of personal development can be challenging. Not only you experience change in virtually all aspects of your life but you continue to move forward through unknown territory.
In this episode Chad Dewey shares with us his personal experience finding himself and breaking the status quo. We talk about how it is scary but incredibly rewarding, to step out of the "normal bounds" of society in order to fully express yourself and live from your highest most beneficial self.
We share some tips on how different routines and spiritual practices has helped and guide our journeys, specially during the last couple of years.
We spend a lot of time trying to "find" our passion but that is a huge mistake we all fall into. The idea of discovering our passion gives us the illusion that it's out there somewhere waiting for us and that is simply not the case.
Passion is not something you find, it's something you develop!
In this episode we talk about 6 characteristics of passion development, and we reflect on what to do when your passion(s) are not fully developed yet.
The first official guest of Toolbox for your Soul, Chadwick Dewey, joined us this week by sharing how some of his life experiences helped him find his spiritual journey and build the person he is today. We talked about his resilience through hard times and the confidence he shows everyday everywhere he goes.
Chad also shared how different practices and rituals are very important, not only during quarantine but everyday, in order to keep a balance between the physical body and the spiritual body.
First few days of 2021 and although everything feels the same on a collective level, the construction of the new world will leave us speechless this year.
With all of the changes that we have yet to experience, this episode is all about understanding anxiety, taking a positive approach to whatever comes your way knowing that it is there as a teacher for you to expand and grow.
Remember our life purpose is to find the joy and pleasure if living, regardless of external circumstances.
Tapping into the new energy of Aquarius and the Winter solstice we experienced on December 21, 2020 in this episode we talk about the coming months, the light that is entering the world and the changes we will encounter socially, economically and environmentally.
Change is constant in our lives but sometimes it can be scary, that's why in this episodes you will find some tips on how to accept what is and be flexible with yourself and others, as we will all go through different stages of change in the coming months and years.
Our minds would love nothing more than to have the blueprints of our life's purpose. We like to feel in control because that gives us the illusion of security, but it is just a concept we create.
In this episode we talk about releasing control of your purpose in life, that you are not bound to work on the field you studied. That is okay to change your mind and change it again until you find what you are truly passionate about. We talk about meeting expectations, trusting your heart and intuition, and to share your unique and special gifts with the world.

Change, loneliness and acceptance; three aspects that have had a very strong presence this year. Accepting that the only constant in life is change, that nothing is permanent and everything is always in constant movement. Accepting that whatever comes into out lives is there to teach us something, that your wellbeing and emotional state can't be affected by external circumstances because you have the power to choose and to create your reality according to what you want to be and feel.
Navigating the uncertainty of change and taking a deep exploration of what loneliness means specially during these times where it has surfaced even more.
