Create Your Path Podcast

Bold statement/big ah-ha moment I learned recently: if you want to know what your greatest strength is, look at what your greatest weakness is.

I am currently part of a coaching grant program for Positive Intelligence, a science-backed and research-backed approach to increasing Positive Intelligence as a means of reaching one’s full potential. There is a heavy emphasis on understanding what one’s main form of self-sabotage is, and how to reframe it into an ultimate super-power for growth.

Learning how Positive Intelligence can overall affect one’s relationships, well-being, and performance is what led me to apply to the grant program in the first place, and what I have gained in the program thus far has really opened my eyes to how harsh I have been on myself as an over-achiever type.

I dive deep into the weaknesses and pitfalls I created for myself by being an over-achiever as well as how I am now transforming this weakness into a strength. If the greatest strength and greatest weakness are two sides of the same coin, wouldn’t you love to know how to flip the coin in your favor to live a more balance, fulfilled, peaceful, and overall positive life?

This is what I share in today’s Create Your Path podcast. I sincerely hope it helps you as you navigate your own journey.

Happy February! Kicking off the first podcast episode of 2025 by catching up on all things I’ve currently been doing since last year’s episode. The shift from chocolatier and solely chocolate coaching into more of the mental health space is one that I have been embracing more fully. There has been so much that I have learned in this field and about myself ever since studying NLP, psychology, and now, Positive Intelligence that I do believe can benefit anyone who’s really trying to improve themselves and navigate life’s stresses as they are on their own unique path. The podcast episode concludes with one very juicy nugget to keep in mind next time you are feeling thrown off track whether by stress, anxiety, worrying about other’s perceptions of you, not feeling confident in what you’re doing, etc.

I have found as an overall arching theme to this year that my goal is really based around being as grounded as possible in the present moment, while simultaneously soaking up all the new information I am learning as a student of the varying interests in life I am currently invested in.

When it comes to making a hard decision for yourself or your business, the weight of what a big pivot could mean is a lot to carry. Stress, fatigue, emotional and physical toil…is this right or what about all the work put in up to this point? It’s A LOT.

In today’s episode, we discuss what making the hard decision to pivot is really about and what we should be celebrating INSTEAD of dreading and tolerating if we are feeling stuck or tied down to something that frankly, maybe isn’t really working for us anymore.

Hey friend, it’s been a minute. On this episode of Create Your Path, I am diving right into a topic that we all deal with in life, especially as high-achievers, and especially if you’re on a creative endeavor or entrepreneur, and that is self-doubt.

By tuning in, I will share with you a tangible technique to reframe self-doubt so that you are not crippled by anxiety, AND how this has played out in my own personal life.

What do you do when you feel called to different things? How do you know what the right path is?

Man oh man, what a topic! In this podcast episode, I talk about all the different interests I have held over the last year since stepping away from chocolate, and where I’m at now after having explored, invested, and put time into those different interests.

Remember this: if it is your calling, it will keep calling you.

PS While summertime has been my OFF season, I am currently accepting new applicants for 1:1 mentorship as well as opening up the waitlist for Round 3 of Best Dang Strategy group coaching.

You may have heard that you need systems in place for your business, but what does that even mean? On today’s Create Your Path podcast, I have my friend and systems expert, Diane Lam, break it all down. She defines what a system truly is, how to start if you’re a solopreneur, what is important to focus on first as your build out your system, and how not one system fits all. 

I met Diane through a marketing group coaching program that we’re both part of, and we instantly clicked. I always find it fascinating when an expert in the field can break down a buzzword and make it simple.

If you’d like to learn more about Diane and/or are looking to start putting systems in place for your business, definitely give her a follow and check her out!

"I want my business to be sustainable." Yo, like what does that even mean??

In this episode of the Create Your Path podcast, let's focus on actually CREATING/curating a business that fills us up with joy, has the support it needs to run and function smoothly, AND can actually support the LIFE that we WANT.

Many deep things to think about, but I am not about to riff on a topic that so many people try to preach on without taking into account how you actually FEEL about the business which you are trying to sustain. 

For more, tune into the whole episode 🙂

Can we get really deep for a moment?

Trusting yourself…fully. Are you there yet? Are you not? 

I realize, that for me, the ability to start trusting myself had to start with the realization that I had the biggest difficulty doing so because it wasn’t exemplified to me.

”Don’t do that, do this.” “What you’re going to do is…” “bahala ka” (Tagalog for “you take care of it” but in a negative connotation) followed by heated conversations, a series of family blow-ups, unresolved issues rearing their ugly head time and time again.

Yeahhhhh….

Not to bring the vibes down but in order to start creating your path, you have to trust yourself, feel GOOD about that,  and you have to know WHY you’re on that path in the first place. 

Maybe you can relate to me and maybe we share some analysis paralysis, healing of old wounds, trying our best to find our place in the world kinda vibes….

Maybe following your own path has been the most liberating, scary, exciting and peaceful time of your life! If so, we’re sooooo on the same boat!

What do you do if the path is not clear? What about alternative paths? Should you consider them? How do you know what's right for you?

In this week’s podcast episode, I share with y’all a chapter of my life that went towards pastry.

Yeahhh…I know 😱

Btw, nothing against pastry chefs but chocolate will forever have my heart ♥️

What did taking that alternate path look like? Why did I take it? What did it eventually lead me to?

Let’s get vulnerable!
