A Beautiful Mess

Sunday Morning Service - 23rd July 2017 - Marty Manuel

Truly no words for this episode, just blessed.

Firstly, meet my incredible friend Akeem aka @akeemo.therapy on Instagram. I have nothing but pure gratitude to have this human in my life, he is full of genuine joy and gratitude like I've never seen in anyone else, he's also humble, giving, inspiring and so creative. But the first word that comes to mind when I think of Akeem is, playful. He's like an enlightened child in the best way possible.

In this episode we went to all the places and got to all the feels ahah. The theme of this episode was definitely self love, and his perspective on self love was so unique and beautiful, I loved it! But I also just got to hear about Akeem' story, how he got to this place of spirituality, from his depression to this now high vibrational living and how intuition has been has guiding compass all along. It's such a wonderful conversation, and I would even go as far as to say it's my favorite episode yet. Just so full of energy, love, inspiration, and story telling. PLUS Akeem Freestyle raps for us, so..... DEFFS listen till the end! haha.

Episode #6 - Four Things I Wish I'd Known:

Today I go in depth and personal into 4 of the many many things I wish I'd known when I was struggling. This is not to say that I regret one second of my life, but just to shed some light on what could have helped me in retrospect so that maybe some of you can be able to learn from my mistakes or take something from the quotes and experiences I chat about in this episode!

1. Patience

2. I am Enough

3. Being Lost Isn't a Bad Thing

4. Vulnerability is The Only Authentic State

Quotes:

“Trying to understand is like straining through muddy water. Have the patience to wait! Be still and allow the mud to settle.” 
― Lao Tzu, Tao Te Ching

“Man suffers only because he takes seriously what the gods made for fun.” 
― Alan W. Watts

“Vulnerability is the only authentic state. Being vulnerable means being open, for wounding, but also for pleasure. Being open to the wounds of life means also being open to the bounty and beauty. Don’t mask or deny your vulnerability: it is your greatest asset. Be vulnerable: quake and shake in your boots with it. the new goodness that is coming to you, in the form of people, situations, and things can only come to you when you are vulnerable, i.e. open.” 
― Stephen Russell

I spoke at an event on Monday called Project Fearless, and I was so inspired and also shocked by how often my misinterpretation and rejection of fear has caused me to struggle to feel loved, to feel enough, to feel accepted by others and myself. So today on the podcast I share what I learnt from that experience.

Today I sat down with Brian from @carew_movement, to chat about well... life. He shared his story of moving from thinking to feeling, we talked about our own insecurities, our own struggles, and what we've learnt about detachment, trusting, love, and beauty.

I enjoyed this conversation so much, Brian is just such a genuine wonderful human, and being able to share our conversation with you all brings me so much joy. It's a long one but listen till the end, there's some awesome nuggets of truth that I would love you all to hear.
