- Espresso Shot 34: STOP BEING YOUR BEST SELF
Welcome to your weekly espresso shot y'all! Nicoa shares a dream where she was receiving rather than giving, symbolizing a shift in her life. A voice in her dream advised her to "Stop trying to be your best self," leading her to reflect on the need to relax and enjoy the moment. Nicoa acknowledges her tendency to be a caregiver and a by default leader, often at the expense of relaxation in her Life By Design. She encourages listeners to find more contentment and satisfaction in life, realize YOU ARE ENOUGH rather than focusing constantly on striving for self-improvement. Are YOU savoring the moments? #LifeByDesignJournalingPrompt

|| Coffee With Nicoa Copyright 2025 ||9 min - S2 EP31: RG SHORE, THE OCEAN IN ME
NICOA and RG SHORE, author of the award winning memoir THE OCEAN INSIDE ME, engaged in a profound dialogue about the importance of recognizing and transcending labels, connecting the head and heart through meditation, and transforming personal energy to create positive change in the world. Through their conversations, they explore the themes of identity, injustice, and the true nature of reality, emphasizing the importance of empathy and open dialogue in addressing these complex issues while sharing some insights into somatic work and meditation. Everyone's LIFE BY DESIGN is different and meditation is a doorway to peace no matter what your story!
THE OCEAN INSIDE ME is a spiritual memoir about healing racial trauma as a person of color incarcerated in an almost all-white prison. Amidst harsh conditions and blatant racism, R.G. Shore learned to meditate by going into his body, befriending his shadow, and learning to sit with the traumas held by his younger self. A Master in meditation, R.G. found a way to liberate his inner child in the most unlikely place, and is now offering a path for you to find healing as well.
