Being an emotionally unavailable person can harbor feelings of fear; fear of failure, fear of opening up, fear of trusting, and fear of being yourself. This can definitely make it impossible to have a healthy relationship. Because of our uniqueness in how we handle things, it's a fact that we express emotional unavailability in our own way. However, some of us may seem standoffish in general. Signs include avoiding certain topics or situations that could evoke emotional expression.

In this episode, I share my story of how I handled a guy I dated and now know I could've handled his response to me differently.

This episode also includes the basic signs of an emotionally unavailable person, and ways we can become more emotionally available.

Our habit of "people pleasing" will prevent others from reciprocating equitably, creating imbalances that a lot of relationships suffer from. Many of us tthat suffer with people pleasing may be oblivious to that, because the focus on pleasing our romanic partners (or people in general) blinds us from this reality. When we strenthen our ability to say no and set boundaries, our need to people please becomes non-existent. People pleasing is a co-dependent trait and the cost of this trait is high, considering one person is more fufilled in the union than the other. This typically happens when one ignores their own needs while fufilling their partner's.

Is your people pleasing habit ruining your relationship? Is it making you less desired to stay in it? Are you feeling overwhelmed, trying to keep yourparnter happy?

On this episode, I share...

• What my people pleasing consisted of
• How I stopped my people pleasing traits
• Signs that you're a people pleaser
• How to stop being a people pleaser in your relationship and in general

We can spend all day, every day eating the right foods, drinking plenty of water, and exercising. However, if our spirit is in need of cleansing, we're pretty much defeating the purpose. Detoxification can be done two ways. Physically and spiritually. The uniqueness of this duality is one can't be done without the other. They're pretty much a "package deal".

In this episode, we'll break down the signs and what I'd recommend to detox.

Living a holistic lifestyle means incorporating methods in a way that is natural to us. We are basically using alternative/natural methods of practical living that includes anything ranging from what we eat to stress relief. I can tell you from experience that living holistically has been a life- changer, and I think I speak for everyone who has chosen this lifestyle that it's the best form of self-love.

While on this journey, we come to discover that our mind, body, and spirit is all interconnected. In this episode, I explain how.

You may have heard the term in a conversation. You may have heard it in your favorite song. The word, Chakra, means "Wheel of Light" in Sanskrit. Just imagine little colorful wheels lined up and down the center of the body and circling in motion. There are seven points in the center of the human body that releases energy and that's where the chakras are located. Chakras, in other terms, are energy portals in the body. You have them. I have them. WE ALL have them. When I first heard the word "Chakra", I thought it could be a dope name for a soulful singer ;-)

It was also an intriguing enough word for me to research Chakras more because I kept reading and hearing about it from my energy-working friends. After much research, I continued to study the importance of the seven chakras and their connection to our spiritual, physical, and intellectual wellbeing. I've been fascinated ever since as an advocate for balanced energy centers.
