Lesson: Seemingly strong people still need help too. I’ve been pushing myself. Usually, I perform well under pressure. This time it got the best of me. I ignored the red flags. By the time I admitted I needed a break, I already pushed passed my threshold. Thump I hit the floor. Laugh then learn at my pain. Love you all. Leave a review if any of this was helpful.

New Segment: What does it mean to be human? Today, we cover how we already contain everything we need. We are born with natural talents & abilities. We are born with a brain & immune system that is ready to thrive. In short, Humans are Self-Reliant. I mention a watchlist: (Netflix - The Social Dilemma, My Octopus Teacher, The Inconvenient Truth, A Life On Our Planet, Dirty Money, Big Daddy) (Amazon Prime - The Feed) (YouTube - Ray Dalio's How the Economic Machine Works, Principles For Success, Download his App "Principles")
FREE YOGA MAT CHALLENEGE: How long can you go without looking at your phone?
A term commonly overlooked! Today we discuss self-love and give three ways to practice it! #1. Saying No, Staying Home. #2. Creating Boundaries. #3 Questioning to Understand Yourself. I mention a few Yoga poses: Legs Up The Wall, Child's Pose, Cat/Cow, Seated Forward Fold. I mention Yogic Yamas & Niyamas: Svadyaya & Bramacharya. For questions or one-on-one coaching email me at ioweme.life@gmail.com or DM on Instagram @ioweme.life
I mention Avatar the Last Airbender on Netflix. So what can you do? Even if you haven’t healed yet? 1. Share Your Story. 2. Tell future generations—whether related to you or not—why you live the way you do. Why you created your life this way, why you believe what you believe; so they will know the reasons behind it and can adopt it too. Otherwise, your changes will be in vain and lost for future generations to experience unnecessary pain.

Today's episode was recorded live on Instagram. @ioweme.life Special Guest Angel joined in. The big takeaway: Do not let someone of power or influence decide how you will live your life. Your personal power is deciding how you will live your life regardless of climate. Stop subscribing to influencers who perpetuate hate, violence, bigotry, racism or injustice. Find better role models. It's not easy to change but it's worth it! Repeat this when you feel discouraged, "Who I was yesterday is not okay but who I am now—that’s all that matters."
A perfect meditation for beginners! Short & sweet, listen to this anytime, anywhere! Email me directly at ioweme.life@gmail.com or message me on Instagram @ioweme.life
Life Happens? Make A list of things that don’t matter and the things that do. Prioritize the things that do so you can be fully, emotionally present. I mention Jimmy O. Yang’s Comedy on Netflix. Changes In Our Time. Step 1: Make This Common Knowledge: You Possess the Potential to be Anything that You’d Like to Be Step 2: Demand Education To Unleash Our Potential. I say, “Even When They Say You Can’t How You Can.” Email me at ioweme.life@gmail.com or DM on Instagram @ioweme.life
Today we define what patience is, where it goes, and how you can find some when you've lost it! My top two solutions: 1. Breathe 2. Walk Away. Then I share the 3 steps to become comfortable when you're impatient.
- Identify why you don’t have time. Do this through journaling.
- Don’t take it personally
- Go through what makes you impatient and make a choice!
I mention "The Four Agreements" by Don Miguel Ruiz.

(Get trained to identify the signs of human trafficking at OURrescue.org Follow @OURrescue @TimBallard89 on Instagram.) Okay—the education system is broken—but why does it matter anyway? In short, children aren’t fully equipped to meet the demands of adulthood. Perhaps children aren’t willing to continue learning the strategies necessary to navigate life. If so, does the source of the problem lie in the child’s associations toward learning? Does the child know that learning is a life-long endeavor? Does the child have a positive association toward learning? Today we learn about conversations we can start having with children in our lives.

Have you ever been scared out of your dreams? Have you ever been scared out of a decision? You know, maybe a time when you wanted to chase a dream or try something new—then you shared it with someone—and they shot it down before you could finish your sentence. Perhaps it sounded something like this, “Really? That? Are you sure? You know I heard that the chances of _______ are really slim. I think you’re better off just staying where you’re at. You’re probably gonna fail, you won’t make it, why bother.” And then you just end up feeling worse about “what a stupid” idea. I’ve been there, it sucks. I mean look, you built all this courage just to share it and when you’re at your most vulnerable, somebody just squashes it. It sucks, but it doesn’t always have to! My antidote is, “be at peace with the worst-case scenario and do it anyway!” So what do I mean by the worst-case scenario? Well, I break it down in today’s episode, listen now!
Today we embark on a journey to uncover the duality of nature. The natural balance of life, from the sun's light to the moon's glow, how everything effects one another. Since this is a personal development podcast, we use it as an example to highlight the subtle differences and mainly the effects each of them play. There isn't an FDA warning on personal development, but just like foods and medicines display advisory warnings to adverse effects, ideas can have adverse effects too. We intake ideas into our emotional, spiritual, physical and mental bodies. This episode will give clarity on the side effects of personal development. It will also give tips on how to balance these side effects and the four steps to overcome any ideas in life! Let's jump in! Here's a time breakdown of today's layout so you can replay in any order you want! 0:00 Intro - 4:00 Benefits of Personal Development - 13:00 Main Ideas & Side Effects - 13:58 Idea #1 - 22:09 Idea #2 - 28:42 Idea #3 - 38:40 Idea #4 - 46:55 How to Overcome Any Ideas In Life

No intro today, no upbeat music. I’m speechless, I’m devastated. We lost a legend of our time this week. We lost daughters, brothers, sisters, fathers, mothers, friends and family. I am at a loss for words. I couldn’t deliver the topic I had planned out, this hit me out of left field. I’d feel too inauthentic to attempt it. But I do offer my love, my thoughts and my energy to everyone dealing with trauma, pain and sadness. I do offer my two favorite songs that hit the topic of life dead on. One song expresses how we are too serious about life, while the other states most of us aren’t even alive. This delicate balance challenges us to enjoy life and take a leap of faith for our dreams, what would be the point otherwise? Listen to “Serious” by Kygo and “Moment 4 Life” by Nicki Minaj, right now!!
