Here are quotes from the show:

• “If we’re gonna have problems anyway, we might as well choose good problems. Choose problems that are worth going through hell and back for.” 
• “I can feel the fear and do things anyway. I can feel scared, anxious, and it’s not gonna kill me. I can feel this and it’s safe.”
• “Mistakes suck in the short term, but in the long term, if you let it be part of the bigger picture and you can learn from it, it’s gonna become your superpower.”
• “Don’t lose the whole purpose of self care, which is all about bringing energy back into your body instead of following this rigid routine. Find what works for you.” 
• “Sometimes self care can be as basic as sleeping early and eating well”
• “You don’t need to be journaling about the meaning of life everyday just for it to be effective."

Here are quotes from the show:
“There’s always good and there’s always bad, you have to want those things. Both of them. Most of the time the good outweighs the bad, but you have to go through the bad to get to the good sometimes.” - Ezra
“We started [dating] when I was 16 and now that I’m 25, there’s definitely been that evolution of growing up with him from this teenage fantasy that you have of how things should be.
And then going through life and understanding, experiencing what it actually is. The thing is that, as much as fantasies seem amazing, in real life, what reality is could be so much better. - Daniella
“People like to play hero and people like to play the victim. But you’re better off not trying to change someone or save someone” - Ezra
“The secret is that you have to be willing to do what is required on your part. It’s not like we’re experts. We are still facing challenges but we know that we’re gonna go through it together no matter what.” - Daniella
“One of the most common mistakes in a new relationship is thinking that your partner can read minds...you have to be willing to open up and talk about it” - Ezra

2. How being kind to yourself helps you grow
3. What I learned as a recovering perfectionist
4. The power of embracing the good with the bad
5. How you can show your self love through your actions
6. The raw and real picture of what it's like to love yourself

Ready to invest in your growth, meet your authentic self, and experience self love? Sign up for the Bloom Coaching Program today!
Stay tuned until the end for an exciting announcement about our next episode.
Quotes from the show:

• (On making mistakes) "You might feel like that was bad, but it does not make you any less loveable or worthy as a person"
• "When we are kind to ourselves, we create a nurturing environment within us and we feel that it is safe for us to grow...kindness is such an underestimated super power"
• "If you want to live fully, that actually does mean accepting and embracing the bad stuff too because it's never just all bad. There are good sides to the bad things too."

In today's episode, you are invited behind the scenes of my personal development journey. In the past few years, I've worked with multiple coaches, investing thousands of dollars into my personal growth.
I've grown so much in such a short period of time so I'd love to share the top three things I've learned from  working with coaches. Let's talk about:

1. My personal development journey
2. You are the protagonist of your own story, and how to claim it
3. How internal shifts have a ripple effect in your outer world, and how I got out of a toxic situation
4. The true transformation that came from when I learned to acknowledge the bag stuff
5. How you can experience these lessons too (and more!)

Quotes from the show:

• "They (coaches) can guide you and they are there to cheer you on, but ultimately, because you are the protagonist of your life, you do have to take the necessary actions such as standing up for yourself when needed. So all of this is very empowering, but just know that the power has been within you all long. All you need to do is reclaim it."
• (On experiencing negative emotions) "My gosh, I'm just a human. We have this whole spectrum fo emotions and the only reason we feel all of these is because we're alive and it's okay"
• "There is so much more to life than you think. (And so much more to you!) So why not explore, have fun, and go through the challenges knowing that you're going to make it."

1. Don't take life too seriously
2. Take pleasure in small things
3. Embrace your evolution
4. Only take advice from people who are where you want to be. The rest is just noise.
5. Work on your personal development, but never because you think you aren't good enough

Against all odds, in an arguably terrible year, I've made 2020 my year.
 Don't get me wrong, I wasn't immune to all the hardships that 2020 has to offer and I also share some of these in this episode.
But ultimately, the way we perceive challenges and take action makes all the difference.
In this episode, I share all my mindset shifts and lessons learned how:
1. Amid the economic decline, I started the business of my dreams
2. In a health crisis, I've become the most fit I've ever been
3. And more!
Learn how you too can turn things around in your life. This is the plot twist you've been waiting for and you have the power to write it.
You can still make some damn good lemonade from all the lemons life handed.
Quotes:
- "We're not here to be victims, we're here to be the victor of our own life. At least, I hope that's what you choose. At the end of the day, we all have the power to choose."
- "Journaling is breakfast for my soul" (talking about morning routines)
- "It's all about taking the next step and know that you're gonna make it as long as you do what you love, you're being true to yourself, there's no way you're not gonna succeed."
- "I just never knew that despite the whole pandemic, I was actually gonna be healthy and I dare say, more fit than I've ever been."
- "If all that mattered was our perception and perspective, why not choose the one that will make you thrive? Why not choose to believe in the things that support you and help you grow?"
