I met my twin flame and he’s not my boyfriend! Okay, but what are twin flames? When the same soul split in two and put in separate bodies, your twin flame is the other person who has the same soul as you.
This is a more cosmic type of episode so keep an open mind as we chat about:  

1. What are twin flames? 
2. My twin flame experience: how we met, the connection, the challenges, and more!
3. What is the difference between a twin flame and a soul mate?
4. The pros and cons of meeting your twin flame

Here are quotes from the show:

• “When I saw James, I was like “Oh my gosh, something about him is so familiar” but I’m certain this is the first time that I’ve met him in this life.”
• “You do have to have a wide perspective or an open mind when we’re talking about twin flames and my particular story. For me, I believe in the concept of past lives, reincarnation, and what have you. I just like to keep an open mind because who are we to say that these don’t exist just because we haven’t seen any evidence? It’s such a wild world, you know?”
• “Twin flames actually mirror one another so yes, for all of the good parts, they check the boxes. But also all the negative parts about yourself, they mirror it too, and this is where the challenge sets in, because it makes you question yourself. And not everyone is ready and willing to face the deepest, darkest parts of themselves.”
• “Your twin flame is challenging because they are mirroring things within you. It shouldn’t be that they are the ones that are hurting you …. Don’t ever let a relationship get toxic just because you feel like [they’re your twin flame]. Honey, you still have to think of yourself and your standards for a relationship. Girl you deserve better”
• “Not everyone gets to meet their twin flame in this lifetime, but not everyone wants to as well. As much as there’s a lot of joy and connection, and it can be a really good thing. It also does hurt and it can be really challenging. It’s a big lesson [to go through] as well”

Here are quotes from the show:

• “The thing about life is that when we don’t stop and ask and reflect every now and then, it’s so easy to get lost in the humdrum, the everyday, the routine.”
• We have the power to tell ourselves: “You know what? It’s not working anymore, I’m not inspired anymore. Let me see what else is there … If it doesn’t feel inspiring, I’m here and I can change it and I can choose what else feels inspiring. And we can be guided to what that looks like through our values.”
• “When we lose our spark, it’s because we’re not doing enough of what we love. And it’s not that we’re doing too much and that we’re tired, we can still do the things that we have to do … but as long as we are are still making space for the things that light up that fire inside us, we are still gonna grow. We are still gonna thrive.”

Here are quotes from the show:

• “The thing about life is that we really should ditch the “should”s and allow things to be what they are, to accept what is happening in reality”
• “To what extent is it of (my crush) that I like and to what extent is it THE IMAGE of (my crush) that I like?”
• “Crushes allow us to get to know ourselves better because they reflect the things that we either want to develop or the things that we want to love within ourself”
• “Others’ perception of me don’t define me unless I allow it to. I choose to rise above.”
• “If I have no crushes, it’s because I’m keeping my world small. Crushes are normal and it is safe for me to put myself out there. It is just a happy side effect and a sign that I am putting myself out there.”

Here are quotes from the show:

• “The reality is that people probably don’t even notice all the things that I obsess and worry about because they are too busy obsessing over things in their own life to … dissect the different things that I think are going wrong.”
• “We don’t always have to be the best at something but as long as we love what we’re doing … there is so much value in that, that we tend to overlook.”
• “Your thoughts don’t have to define who you are … you can take a step back and question your thoughts”
• “The more that we avoid doing something that gives us anxiety, the more we’re encouraging our anxiety. So the best way to get through it is to just do it.”
• “We’re not here to just be perfect and normal and okay all the time. We’re all a little bit crazy. We all have a relationship with anxiety and mental health and it’s so okay that we’re gonna have bad days, okay?”

Here are quotes from the show:

• “The most important relationship you can have is with yourself because you are going to be with yourself literally until the end of your life. There are going to be moments, pandemic or not, where you’re gonna be alone … Let’s make the most of it by learning to love ourselves, getting to know ourselves better, and taking care of ourselves. ”
• “It’s (video conferencing) not a complete replacement (to human interaction) but you know what? I’m gonna take whatever I can get and be grateful for that. And I’m gonna make the most of it.”
• “Life is a very universal thing so you never really know what it is that other people are going through (that you may be able to relate to). You do have to put yourself out there, but it’s gonna be worth when you find your tribe. So be very clear as well, who are the kinds of people you want to connect with?”

Here are quotes from the show:

• “Think about the difficult situations that you thought were impossible at the time, but you actually overcame it. This is a moment for you to empower yourself and remember that you may be fearful, but that doesn’t mean you don’t have what it takes to make it through this.”
• “As good as it is to hype ourself up and go through these mindset shifts, taking action is ultimately what will take you to the other side [of the challenge].”
• “Let your curiosity guide you instead of fear. How liberating does that sound?”
• “However we make it up to be in our head, sometimes that fear monster is actually larger, more dangerous than what it actually is like in real life. But you’re never gonna know unless you actually do it.”

How can you make the most of any transition period in life? You know when you’re in between: not where you were and not where you want to be either. Let’s explore this together in today’s diary kind of episode.
With no guidelines whatsoever when I recorded this, here’s what I would tell my journal about this topic:

1. What does it mean when we say life has its seasons?
2. I share two examples of transitions I’m going through 
3. How can you find opportunities in the challenges?
4. How to choose your priorities and why it matters
5. What are good problems?

Plus, we have FIVE journaling prompts at the end of this episode, instead of the usual three. Grab your journal and pen, you wouldn’t want to miss these!
Join me for the Bloom Coaching Program and get ready to love yourself (flaws and all) so much that you embrace who you are and show up unapologetically in all areas of life.

Here are quotes from the show:

• “Sometimes some things in life are gonna become more of a priority. It doesn’t mean that you’re dropping your other priorities, it’s just that you’re putting more of your time and energy into your number 1 priority.”
• “Do what you need to do to get where you want to get, but be practical about it too.”
• “I don’t want to shackle myself and put myself in a victim’s place when I am the hero of my own life. These are the kinds of cheesy things that I do journal about.”
• “It’s good to have a plan that also includes problems, but instead of worrying about a lot of problems, why not choose problems that you would rather have?”
• [On good problems] “You know what? There are gonna be challenges and it’s not gonna be easy, but it’s not always that bad.”

Today, I share about a bad day I went through and the things I did to face my feelings, learn the lessons, and ultimately make it better. 
Let’s talk about:

1. Find an activity where you can redirect your emotions / energy. Find an outlet for your energy otherwise you’re gonna bleed on everywhere 
2. Journal and face the issue head on instead of letting it hang over you as a dark cloud over your head
3. How to ask for help

Bonus: I share things from my journal! Hear about the things I learned from the situation I went through.

Here are quotes from the show:
“The reason we experience these things (challenges) is to help us grow and if  we don’t learn from it this instance, a lot of other events are gonna come to us until we learn our lesson. It’s not the world that’s against you, it’s the world asking you to rise up because you know what? You can do so much more. Why not choose to rise up to the occassion and see for yourself what else you can do?”
“Take away the prestige, the material things, who am I actually? Going through this heartbreak forced me to look at that question. Who am I actually beneath the embellishment, what is the substance beneath that? And that’s really deep but that’s where I went”
“I am done letting others define my self worth and it’s time for me to take what I want and anoint myself"

They say finding a good friend is like dating. Not every relationship works out. Today, let’s talk about 5 of my failed friendships and what I learned from it.
Note: These are not their real names

1. Rose: Opposites don’t always attract
2. Brienna: You need to have a solid standard on the people you want to be your friend
3. Crystal: Not all friendships last forever. Sometimes you naturally drift apart and that’s okay
4. Gina: Be kind when people are going through tough times and don’t take things personally
5. Yasmine: We cannot save everyone. Establish healthy boundaries and don’t let people push you around.

Bonus: listen to find out!

Here are quotes from the show:
“As much as they say that opposites attract … it’s (still) good to be on the same page for things that matter. You need to have a standard on what matters to you.”
“Not everyone is going to be for you (and that’s okay).”
“Sometimes people are just there to teach us a couple of things and they are just “seasonal friends” and that doesn’t make it a bad thing because you could have a lot of great moments with that person. And you can just remember fond memories when you think of them.”
“It is important to empathise, but know your limits and learn to stand up for yourself. Create a very solid standard of who you want to be friends with.”

Here are quotes from the show:

• “Intimacy really starts with communication. It’s intimate when you share something that you don’t really share with anybody else, and you feel welcomed when the other person doesn’t judge you … For me, intimacy is the space where you can just be yourself.” - Ezra Reguerra 
• “Once you love yourself, that’s also the way you treat other people. The more that you love yourself and you have a good relationship with yourself, most likely you are going to attract someone who has a good relationship with themselves too.” - Daniella Shaira
• “My advice for people looking for love…love yourself first.” - Ezra Reguerra
• “I also do know some people are every happy being single as well. If you’re one of them, that’s amazing, because there are good and bad things to everything. Not just with relationships, but with being single as well.” - Daniella Shaira
