In this journey, there are many times when we think we have to Leap in order to get what we need to get. It is truly never necessary to do that. Taking small steps will also get us where we want to go. There is nothing more difficult in us telling ourselves that there is more to it than they truly used to it. It is all simple, we love to over complicate. This is not the journey we signed up for.
Pain, why is there so much pleasure in it? This is more of a metaphorical mind state, the one that keeps you thinking. One catches them selves over thinking over and over and over and over again.

Many a times we think that this is what we have to do in order to be “accepted” yet this is actually the opposite of what we need to do in order for that to happen, being yourself attracts you toward what brings you happiness and joy. The only person you need to be accepted by is you, that is all that is important

Many of us have an understanding of what the afterlife might be, yet there are some things that need to be said or discussed.

The fear of the unknown is something we don’t know how to comprehend or focus through. The comfort of the present feels like such an indulgence that we don’t want to walk away from it

We set a goal for ourselves and whenever we get close one begins to wonder.. am I deserving of this? Did I work hard enough to attain this blessing into my life?

An Ego, is something we all seem to have. Each of them are different much like our finger print. We at times place it away, put it on silent.

When you set out to find something more, you find it. One to then assume it’s going to be great to find whatever the person is looking for!

When you want to make conversation, the first thing we think of is.. “what would the other person and I have in common?”, why is it that we start with a negative? This being a small sort of complex complaint? We break down the maybe on this mentality
When you start an episode with an intense intent on its subject then it flows into something else, there is beauty in it.. here we are off to a journey! Let’s flow into this
There are times when life just seems too much to bare. During these times we appear to think and believe we are unable to rise or we are victims to these circumstances. This episode speaks toward a slight change in that theory and how we might be able to break that mindset
The theory of what you thinking becoming a reality, how if you build on a feeling - false/true - it gains momentum and begins to glide toward reality

It’s a simple mindset, we attract what we spend time thinking.. we subconsciously attempt to bring more of what we don’t want rather than the other way around. This episode talks of the benefit of sleeping and changing our view in the morning!

Two weeks worth of experiences that have been jumbled up. This episode has thoughts and emotions that interrupt each other. This just goes to show you what it feels like when you have too much going on and need to breathe into the journey you’ve been meant for
Do you see numbers, do they mean something to you? This episode talks about how at times we are in alignment, yet we are doubtful because of what others tell us. These “others” are doubtful themselves, or don’t understand the messages that we are receiving. Now is the time you open up your mind and except your blessings
When we seek advice from someone, it comes along with a few appetizers and side dishes. These would be their perspective, fears, point of view, experiences, traumas and many other thoughts/emotions. This episode helps speak about how to understand that advice is intended to have their personal perspective on the subject. Not to completely turn the situation on it’s head. There is still room to research your opinion and not love-live in regret. There is a reason you’re experiencing this and it’s meant for you to learn from it
Do you notice how at times we catch ourselves talking about how sad we are? Hoping the other person is able to comprehend this emotion. We assume that this feeling is one that will create a bond. On automatic we assume the other person won’t relate with the good things that occur in our lives so we concentrate and continue to speak only of the negative. This episode touches on that and speaks to that notion
Where is negativity born? It’s prime birth place is inside of us. We seem to project it out once we feel as though we are cornered or attacked, this defense mechanism is faulty. Our moods control how we interact with the world and how we see our surroundings. This episode breaks that mentality down
Being dependent on a person or event in time, to bring you happiness is a sure path to being let down. We expect and create a criteria to be met and when it’s not.. we feel as though we are empty. These expectations mop the floor with our beings. This episode breaks this heavy burden down, talks on how to not bear it any longer
A question was asked as to how brave one has to be to use the words I Love You. Some of us don’t have any issues speaking those words, to others it’s scary and very frightful. This episode is about how to overcome or work toward allowing oneself to speak those words without the fear it at times brings.
We each run from the thought of being broken, this sort of stigma is bestowed upon us usually by a person - a stranger or a “close friend”. Their words in turn take us to a point of what we deem is self realization.. which is in error. This episode speaks to that
Speaking out loud how nothing is perfect or permanent. Nothing is. Nothing will be. In that do you find bliss or do you find troubles? This is where we see what brings us peace or makes us want to engage in seeking our truth
We look for advice and when it doesn’t match how we feel we get down and worry about it, we worry and seek validation. Time and Energy are such tangible thoughts, we chase time and forget the energy we invest in the chase. Chasing time won’t bring it back yet we might lose our energy on it. Why put energy into something out of the our made up reach? This episode speaks and touches on these experiences
When you share something what makes you vulnerable, you asked the person you tell.. not to repeat it. It’s your secret and you hold it near to your heart! You hold it so dear!! Yet.. what if they do repeat it? Why will it break you? This episode speaks to that thought, to the ability not to worry if they repeat what you say and to take ownership of you. Not worrying about anything and being the best version of you that is there! This will set you free from hiding in a shell of unworthiness
The smallest things become “problems”, this in turn aids in your day spiraling out of control! The superficial problems take charge and without us noticing.. the day is now surrounded by a rain cloud. We in turn can’t wait for it to be over and get home toward our peace. Peace is without, the problem is insignificant & not a bother at all. This episode sheds light on this
We compete thinking we ought to out do the people in our lives, gain success the same way they did. Push the frontier and do better because that’s what we are meant to do.. in actuality that’s not the fact at all. We each are different and we bring a new sense of being toward this planet. No one can reassemble who we are, that’s what makes individuality so powerful! This podcast sheds light on how it’s ok to pave your own path and not have to depend on someone else’s road to success to find our own victories
We train our minds each day, from morning to night. Even if we don’t realize it, we are putting our minds through this endless gymnasium session. Each thought or emotion we process, is training our minds what we want more of. If you keep a thought/feeling in your head for long enough your mind will react to it and feed you more of that same feeling. In turn it believes you want more of that and all the mind wants to do is please you so it conjures more of that feeling for you. When in reality our don’t want that. You want to feel happy, that is something we need to realize and change in our minds
We give struggles a reputation. When in reality they are unlearnt lessons. Why struggle when you can accept the lesson for what it is, feel it and release it back where they came from? This episode talks on how I was able to journey through some of these feelings
At times the reality of our responsibilities are murky. The meaning of being present is paramount, the consequences of choices out of our control are not our responsibility!
Catch yourself expecting everything to be a certain way? The want and need for it to be only via comfort and controlled? This episode talks about how sometimes life+love have different ways of transmitting into words. When this occurs is when we ought to pour more power, love, work & attention into it.
Is your self confidence dependent on the things you own? What happens once these objects become old and people stop caring? Your energy is what you bring, that can’t be taken away from you. This episode brings thought to this.
The three pages that helped me create the last podcast, read out loud. Not sure where the pages are from, since they were found without context. The healing from this is profound.
This episode talks about experiences that conclude to showing us what it takes to better oneself. We all have issues we don’t address and work through, then decisions are made in the heat of the moment (moments of polar highs or lows) which we don’t understand why we made in the first place. It starts with self realization before we begin to label. Working on the inner child that hasn’t been addressed in tough times, is the key to stopping the persistent loop. This allows us not to harbor emotions and feelings, which we then express in the moment and fill the holes which have been created for us.
You get to pick what speaks to you. This is your path. No one gets to tell you what will work for you. There is not other, there is you.
Pain, is a warm blanket. It tucks you in at night and keeps you company when no one else seems to be around, listening to you when everyone else is asleep. The feeling of being completely comfortable yet not realizing the island you are creating. The people who love you are pushed at bay because of the relationship you are building with this emotion. This episode tears down the walls exposing what pain truly evokes inside of you. How it doesn’t need to exist, for you to be content. You are a beautiful being with your vulnerability, there is no judgement of your past or present. We stand together without needing to be an island.
Whilst talking to Jeffery the other night, he shared an experience he had in his life (with his grand-mum). One that he regrets and this in turn taught me a lesson of not taking moments and people’s time for granted. This episode is paced slower so you can connect the dots. Please be mindful of the experiences you get to share with the people you hold dear, waiting for the perfect time to call someone is futile.
The divine between Self Doubt and Self Sabotage. The experiences that have led to this have been heart felt, yet in the moment they were invisible. The notion of one dealing with their issues alone and pushing others away till the storms subside is a notion that truly is imperative at their weakest moments. (Why love your pain?) We speak on these and how it’s ok not to overcompensate, it gets better when you share your burdens and conquer together.
What do “things” mean to you? How many voids do they fill and how fulfilling is it? Do you feel satisfied putting your energy into the things and not the real issues that arise? We discuss how “things” drain us, rather than create happiness in our space
The comprehension of discomfort. We have all felt “uncomfortable” in life, experiences, scenarios and many other aspect of daily life. Yet, the comprehension of the feeling is one that at times gets placed as secondary. On this podcast we talk about how to communicate the information and not let it build up to a point of exhaustion or loss of interest.
When life gives you tough circumstances we believe it’s our best interest to grasp control of these troublesome issues, when in reality our best interest is in being able to innovate ways to understand why these occur. Visualize brushing these off your shoulder! 99 problems but this ain’t one
Thought - I can not wait, is a passing feeling we create to not deal with the task at hand. We conclude that it’s too boring, difficult or just not cool enough to conclude at this given moment. We want to live in the future instead and have fun in being at a distant from this present tense. Anything to escape dealing with this!
Overthinking, how one isn’t themselves because people pleasing is at the forefront and takes precedence over your own needs and wants.
In the series we have labeled as life lessons, on this episode we speak of Distractions and how they manifest into reality. All this occurs when we let the mind steer our conversations and consciousness.
This is a calming episode about the importance of “Life Lessons”, where we calmly break down why it is importance to stay present and not to put things off for tomorrow.
