Conversations with Skye

I share the lessons I learnt from  The Four Agreements, bestselling author Don Miguel Ruiz that reveals the source of self-limiting beliefs that rob us of joy and create needless suffering. I talk about the my take on the 4 Agreements which are  - Be Impeccable with Your Word, Don’t Take Anything Personally, Don’t Make Assumptions, Always Do Your Best

I share lessons I learnt from the book : Toxic Parents: Overcoming Their Hurtful Legacy and Reclaiming Your Life written by Susan Forward, internationally renowned therapist, lecturer, and author that has served as a consultant in numerous Southern California psychiatric and medical facilities. In this podcast I discuss what is the definition of a toxic parent, what are the coping mechanisms that a toxic parent does in a family dynamic, why is it so important to understand your family dynamic, how denial plays out in a family dynamic, the misconception behind forgiveness, why you may feel angry and grief as you are beginning to look at your family dynamic and approaches that Susan suggests to deal with anger and grief. 

I recently read the book "Good Morning, Monster" written by Catherine Gildiner, a clinical psychologist that shares 5 stories of emotional recovery of her clients. Her clients come from different social background, culture and temperament, coping strategies in dealing with challenges that they faced.

Each client presents a mystery, one that will only be unpacked over years. They seek Gildiner's help to overcome an immediate challenge in their lives, but discover that the source of their suffering has been long buried.

I talk to my friend Suhaib on the topic of how much of our lives are determined by fate vs free will, how we respond to situations is as a result of our MBTI (Myers Brigg Test Indicator) personality , by what age our personality is pretty much formed. 

I outline 4 strategies on How to Increase Your Sales Revenue based on the strategies I have came across whilst working in the digital marketing - paid advertising industry and as a avid consumer of the skincare & cosmetic industry. Whilst I talk about the application of the strategies in the context of the skincare & cosmetic industry , they can be applied to other industries as well depending on the context. The 4 strategies are changing consumption pattern of your consumers, focusing on the messaging of your creative in your ads, distributing your brand story, incorporating your community in your brand
