L0VE, CONFLICT AND HEALING

Why do some people achieve success in business and life yet still struggle with fear, self-doubt, guilt, and shame?

In this insightful conversation, Steve Barton, executive coach, author, and creator of The Game of Ten®, explains why external success doesn't always bring inner peace, confidence, or fulfillment.

Drawing on more than 47 years of business experience and his personal journey, Steve shares how he discovered that lasting change begins with awareness. He introduces The Game of Ten®, a framework designed to help people recognize destructive thought patterns, respond rather than react, and build a healthier relationship with themselves and others.

In this episode, you'll discover:

• Why successful people can still feel empty, insecure, or unfulfilled.

• How fear, self-doubt, guilt, and shame influence decisions and relationships.

• The difference between reacting emotionally and responding with awareness.

• How to recognize the patterns behind defensiveness, rejection, and overthinking.

• What it means to believe “I am enough,” “I do enough,” and “I have enough.”

• How healthy boundaries and emotional awareness can improve relationships.

• Practical ways to move toward greater clarity, confidence, and inner peace.

Steve also shares the wake-up call that changed his perspective, including a near-death experience that reshaped how he viewed life and success. He explains how his six awareness phrases can help people challenge limiting beliefs and approach everyday situations with greater intention.

Hosted by Anago Gloria, this conversation explores the connection between personal growth, emotional healing, and healthier relationships. Because sometimes, the biggest obstacle to the life and love we desire is not what is happening around us, but the patterns we carry within us.

If you've achieved important goals but still feel something is missing, struggle with self-doubt, or want to build stronger relationships, this episode offers a fresh perspective on finding fulfillment from within.

What if the reason you feel stuck isn’t a lack of talent, but loyalty to a life you’ve already outgrown?

In this powerful conversation, Monique Montaia shares the turning point that led her to leave corporate beauty after more than a decade and build an ethical skincare brand on her own terms.

Walking away meant leaving behind a steady paycheck, retirement savings, and a career that looked successful on paper. But her journey was about more than changing careers. It was about confronting people-pleasing, recognizing misaligned relationships, and finding the courage to choose herself.

Monique opens up about the difference between comfort and growth, why short-term relief can lead to long-term pain, and how to trust your inner calling when others don’t understand your decisions.

She also shares the practices that helped her rebuild, including gratitude journaling, setting boundaries, and learning to appreciate the small moments that restore a sense of purpose.

In this episode, we explore:

• Why people stay in careers and relationships that no longer serve them.

• How to distinguish genuine intuition from personal desire.

• How to choose yourself without feeling selfish.

• Why self-respect can transform the quality of your relationships.

• How healing sometimes means rebuilding your life from the ground up.

This conversation goes beyond skincare and entrepreneurship. It explores the emotional cost of people-pleasing, the courage required to start over, and the freedom that comes when you stop seeking permission to become who you truly are.

If you’re questioning your career, struggling with relationships, or wondering whether the life you’ve built still reflects the person you’re becoming, this episode is for you.
