  • Gratitude: You are What you Think

    If you enjoy this podcast, sign up for weekly newsletters & episode sneak peaks!

    I decided to take a moment this week to focus on collective unhappiness that seems to happen during this time of year. I often hear the words "I'm seasonally depressed" from friends and family. It saddens me to notice that rather than work on healthy habits and coping mechanisms for this pain, we often accept these feelings of anxiety and depression as unchangeable.  

    I believe that we have the power to overcome all mental angst and discomfort regardless of the time of year and or personal circumstances. In this episode I analyze the thinking that keeps us bound in negativity and discuss options that will help you effectively maintain peace through continued effort and consistency. 

    We will talk all things gratitude, releasing the thief of your joy and abandoning negative thoughts that keep us in bondage. Ultimately we are what we think! If you struggle with anxiety and depression I challenge you to actively practice more gratitude in your every day life. Keep a log of your inner thoughts to monitor how you truly feel about yourself and how you speak to yourself. Replace anger with thankfulness and I guarantee you will see drastic changes in your life.

  • Disconnect to Reconnect

    If you enjoy this podcast, sign up for weekly newsletters & episode sneak peaks!

    One night as I sat in my car exhausted after work, I noticed in a split second, just how amazing the stars looked from my moonroof view. It was in this exact moment that I realized, I have not been truly present in months. How many people remember how content they were as a child just to look up at the sky and guess what shapes you saw in the clouds. Maybe you remember taking time as a child to find the constellations in the stars with a telescope. This made me ask myself what other simple childlike pleasures have I denied myself? When did I stop being present and looking up at the stars in the sky? When did I become a robotic workaholic? 

    In this episode I use a sick day off from work, just to go for a walk and pour back into myself. It's amazing what you notice when you’re fully present. On my drive to the park I found a never before seen community refrigerator. A fridge conveniently tucked behind a bodega with free food available for the community. At this point, the theme of my self care day was clear to me. What a beautiful simple act of kindness that probably goes un-noticed by many. The impact of this beautiful initiative made me wonder what can I do to help give back and contribute to the people in my community. 

    During my walk in the park I took time to write in my manifestation journal, meditate and talk to God. When you quiet the outside noise, center yourself and allow yourself to hear from God, the universe, a higher power, whatever you believe in; the universe will respond. Take a moment to ask yourself what areas in your life have you not been present for? What has consumed your worries? In my time alone I realized there is greed, a need for personal success and physical possessions that I needed to work on. I needed to acknowledged where my treasure lay in my life and where my heart laid. 
    To anyone thats listening, I hope you gain a deeper understanding of the importance of disconnecting from the world, to truly reconnect with yourself.

  • Transitions: Know When to Let Go

    If you enjoy this podcast, sign up for weekly newsletters & episode sneak peaks!

    I want to take a moment to acknowledge any one who has subscribed or followed me on this healing journey. For anyone that has seen improvement in their self awareness, you are truly doing the work, you are a fighter, you are worthy and you will manifest the life of your dreams! 

    On this episode I will vulnerably open up about the current transition period I'm experiencing. The uncomfortable feeling that comes with unexpected transitions can be extremely overwhelming; however Ive learned that in those hard times, you don't need to feel defeated! Actually on the contrary, its important for you to get excited because after the storm there is sunshine! 

    We all experience seasons in our lives that are meant to build us in different ways. There is a season to sow seed, and a season to reap your harvest. If you have been sowing seed, going to therapy, unlearning unhealthy habits that no longer serve you and putting out positivity and love into the universe, I guarantee your harvest is closer than you think! 

    I hope this episode teaches anyone who is experiencing dark times, that sometimes you need to let somethings and some people go. I hope someone learns that releasing what unhealthy, releasing what no longer serves you, WILL benefit you in the end. This season you’re in is not meant to break you, its meant to break the things getting in your way. What’s not meant for you needs to break in order to make space for better to enter your life. To whoever is listening, you aren’t alone. We can all take the necessary steps towards fulfillment and peace. Your harvest is coming!

    Lots of self help and life coaches provide their clients with guidance and motivation to help them create the life they want to live.

What about the weeks where theres been a sudden change to your lifes blueprint or you start to question the direction your life is heading in. Maybe you've started worrying about whether your manifestations will happen and what it will truly take to get there. We all have off days, even off weeks. What can we do when negative thinking starts to take over?

Changes with the team I  work with, management and my daily job specifications.  Expectations and work culture has drastically shifted since I joined the company.

  • IKIGAI' The Japanese Secret to a Long Happy Life

    If you enjoy this podcast, sign up for weekly newsletters & episode sneak peaks!

    The newest read thats really been enchanting me is Hector Garcias and Francesc Miralles, "Ikigai" The Japanese Secret to a Long and Happy Life. At first I began to see this ideology broken down in a venn diagram on social media. The principles immediately caught my attention. Each piece of the all encompassing puzzle was listed as "what you’re good at, what you love, what the world needs and what you can be paid for." A few short weeks later I was drawn to a book with the same title which at the point I knew I was in alignment and  spirit  was sending me a gift, to truly be receptive of this information

    On this episode we will discuss a Japanese way of life practiced in one of the worlds most famous blue zones. I'll analyze the proven benefits of this Japanese way of life and the miracles seen within this community of people who have developed a strong sense of self worth within their Ikigai. I also introduce several purpose based therapies, Mauritian therapy and Logo therapy. Both of which guide patients away from mental illness and towards spiritual fullfillment. 

    There is no quick fix to achieve happiness, however we can apply certain daily habits and find true fulfillment within doing what we love, what we’re good at, what we can give to the world and what we can be paid for. Ask yourself when you’re truly the happiest. Ask yourself what gives you the drive to keep going, THAT is your Ikigai 

    This book can be found on amazon and audible. See link below:

  • Meditate with Me

    If you enjoy this podcast, sign up for weekly newsletters & episode sneak peaks!

    As much as anyone who is on the self love/healing journey wants to believe a positive mindset helps us get through hard times, it can be easy to feel overwhelmed by life's responsibilities and unfortunate events. Although we can not control negative outside forces that arise from time to time, we can control how we regulate our thoughts, feelings and reactions to these circumstances.

    The past few weeks I've been using the "Soothing Pod" app religiously. (Please note this is not a sponsored advertisement and I'm not being funded or compensated in anyway) 
    This app is such a helpful tool when you need reminders to center yourself while not letting difficult burdens ruin your state of mind and wellbeing. When I notice myself overthinking or having any consuming thoughts outside of grace and acceptance, I listen to a guided meditation theme. 

    If you are currently experiencing any of the above, please take a short 10 minutes of your day to close your eyes and meditate with me.  This is a relaxing meditative guide that will help ease the mind, heart and spirit. The Soothing Pod app can be found on any apple app store platforms. Link is listed below:

    If you enjoy this podcast, sign up for weekly newsletters & episode sneak peaks!

    Married at first sight, love is blind, ready to love, 90 day fiance, love island, the bachelor, the bachelorette, millionaire match maker, temptation island, courtship....there is a never ending list of shows on TV where people make desperate decisions for love. Yes marriage and love can be a wonderful source of happiness and joy but it can also be the greatest source of pain and discomfort in our lives when we choose to be with someone thats not in alignment with our journey.

    In this episode I will discuss the reasons behind the love we search for, the important questions to ask ourselves. Discovering who our full selves are in order to maintain a healthy love and unlearning this idea culture has provided that we are somehow incomplete without a relationship. When you are in a rush to get anywhere, the odds of damage and chaos are at extreme heights. 

    I am breaking downs ways for singles to be happy today. Ways for singles to find pure joy in the journey and to have peace with their current circumstances and lives. You will have the love you desire but first ask yourself if the relationship that you're seeking is helping you to achieve the best version of yourself or if it a relationship that is creating misery in your life. There are ways you can be happy today! You don't have to rush to the finish line of life to be happy

  • Are you Out Sourcing Happiness?

    If you enjoy this podcast, sign up for weekly newsletters & episode sneak peaks!

    At first I started off the week unmotivated; being really hard on myself and my manifestation journey.  I've been impatient and sad asking myself a million questions. What if manifesting is not working? What if I'm not doing it right? How long is it going to take? And if I'm  truly doing the inner work and committing myself to healing, why do I still feel this way?

    In this episode I will discuss my doubts and impatience when it comes to manifesting the life I desire. I dissect many of the unfavorable and difficult aspects of healing I felt no one ever mentioned or prepared me for.  This episode is a thorough analyzation of the many ups and downs one experiences within the self awareness journey and important steps we can all take to stop out sourcing our happiness and live with true joy and faith in the journey and the unknown. 

    Rather than focusing on results and the things you have not manifested yet, focus on what it will feel like when your manifestations do come to life. How does achieving your truest desire make you feel and how can you take steps today to truly embody your dream life?  Healing is almost never pretty and manifestation is not an easy streamline process. The journey wont always feel good but if you learn that happiness is a choice, not a destination you only arrive upon when life looks perfect and learn to have faith in what you know you truly deserve; it can and will help you tremendously!

  • Trauma and Why It's so Important to Heal

    If you enjoy this podcast, sign up for weekly newsletters & episode sneak peaks!

    In this episode I do an even deeper dive into "The Body Keeps Score" and discuss traumatized client testimonials as well as trauma I've experienced in my own life. Having self awareness and accepting/acknowledging our trauma is the key to making this world a better place. If we never seek healing, our body will store the trauma we so badly want to release, causing you to subconsciously move through life traumatizing others. 


    Webster defines trauma as anything that is "a deeply depressing or disturbing experience". When was the last time you felt deep pain? Whether it be emotional, physical or mental  discomfort. What did it make you feel and how did you choose to handle it? 

    We all experience various traumas in life and most times at no fault of our own. 


    Throughout this discussion I analyze the deep effects this can have if you do not seek to empower yourself and acknowledge your pain. If you continue to suppress emotions and move through life as if your trauma never existed, it can have detrimental permanent effects on your body. This episode is my attempt to teach and learn with others, healthy steps we can take to avoid becoming the pain that has traumatized

     us.

  • Loneliness

    If you enjoy this podcast, sign up for weekly newsletters & episode sneak peaks!

    It’s part of our human nature and genetic makeup to want to have connections with others and feel safe within a community. Relationships that provide safety can be the purest form of peace and support...but what happens when the people around us make us feel unsafe. How do we navigate the relationships that we desire without falling victim to keeping people and situations around that threaten our peace?


    In this episode I will discuss the beginning of my therapy journey, what routes Ive taken to make sure I am at peace and how l learned to trust the divine timing of my life. Yes extreme loneliness can cause mental breakdown but If you do not learn to be by yourself, learn to find comfort in solitude and learning/knowing who you are, then you may be keeping the wrong people around to avoid feeling lonely. 


    What if I told you that life is a gift! No matter what you gain or lose, God/the universe/ whatever higher power you believe in, has given you the ultimate gift; LIFE! If you can change your perspective on how you view loss, it can change your life
