June 03, 2023 Ep. 138: Things to Call Yourself Out on
We are all a work in progress, which means we will create a lot of mistakes in this lifetime. So how do we learn to correct ourselves when no one guides us? I believe that it is very important to have self-awareness and learn how to call out to ourselves when we fall into the same traps again, recovering from our own patterns is not easy as this is something we are so familiar with and makes it very difficult to escape and rewire ourselves to choose other things. In my case, I always end up putting so much pressure on myself, as this is something I am so familiar with, I’ve done that my entire to myself, and nowadays this is something I work so hard on, every single day I remind myself that it’s okay if I slow down and fail once in a while to enjoy life as it is.

May 31, 2023 Ep. 137: Defining Your Meaning of Success and Happiness
I’ve spent a lot of time defining my own success and happiness. I have always loved my freedom but now I have achieved almost everything I’ve always wanted, what’s next then?

Nowadays I still have a lot of dreams and things I want to go create but this time I am not leaving my loved ones behind like how I did it in my 20s. This time, I am wiser and more capable in life, now only being with them and making time with them gives me the inspiration to create bigger things for myself and them. I want to make them part of my beautiful life and giving them my time is no longer an option but my top priority.

May 27, 2023 Ep. 136: Ways to Handle Difficult People
When it comes to dealing with difficult people, it can be tough to just “grin and bear it.” A really unpleasant person or interaction can linger in your mind, even when you’re not around them. Suppressing those interactions can start to take its toll on your mental health. Many times, like at work, we have to be around these difficult people whether we want to or not. No one looks forward to interacting with difficult people, but it doesn’t have to ruin your day, week, or workplace. While there’s often not much we can do to change their behavior, we can change our own responses and minimize how they affect us.

May 24, 2023 Ep. 135: It Took Me 3 Years to Move On From a Heartbreak
Lately, I have been reflecting on the most painful heartbreak I’ve experienced in this lifetime. He was the love of my life but I’ve moved on with grace, I never bad-mouthed him nor destroyed his reputation, he was part of my life and we made beautiful memories together that I will be remembering and treasuring for the rest of my life. I was so in love with him, and he made me so happy, this was weird happiness because I’d never experienced that with anyone before. Maybe, sometimes we are not supposed to end up with the person we fall so hard with, maybe there was just a lesson passing by in our life to teach the most valuable lessons. It was a beautiful journey that I am ready to tell people and inspire everyone that sometimes no matter how much we try they can leave us not because we made mistakes but maybe they were dealing with something on their own that our genuine love made them overwhelmed and not capable of receiving what we have to offer. After 3 years, this is now just a beautiful story to share with everyone, and I am proud of it.

May 20, 2023 Ep. 134: The Society is Obsessed with Single Shaming
You probably wonder why everyone is still so focused on being in a relationship because you’re having a great time being single and so focused on your goals. Well, you’re right. There’s absolutely nothing wrong with being single, even as a woman above 30. But somewhere along the way, the world thinks there’s something wrong with being single, and this practice of shaming single women is still widely enjoyed by many. There is nothing wrong with enjoying your journey, this is your life and you are supposed to live the way you enjoy, this is your book to write, you are the author and no one else. When someone is shaming you, it is on them and not on you. You are loved, and your time will come. Stay focused and keep thriving!

May 16, 2023 Ep. 133: Life is a Journey not a Competition
You have to stop that comparison, most people are living fake lives on social media. We are in a world where everyone has dreams and aspirations. Everyone wishes to succeed, be seen, and hear. Some dream big so they could be of help to others, some dream big so they could enjoy a happy life with their family, some so they could flirt and enjoy their social life at the peak level, while others still do it so their friends and colleagues could see they have made it. One common error many people make in life regarding this is that the accomplishments of others make them feel bad about themselves. Social media is curated, and comparing the real lives that we work so hard on sounds very unfair to me because, at the end of the day, no one knows what people are going through behind the screens.

May 13, 2023 EP. 132: Success Looks so Different Than I Imagined
I thought success was going to be easier and smoother but it is absolutely not like how I imagined it years ago. Success is something you don’t even feel, it does not last, it gets harder and tougher to maintain it when you are already on the top. I have been having this conversation with a lot of my close friends, especially the ones who decided to leave success when they already got it because they thought it was lonely to be on the top. I will never forget what my friend Robert once told me, “The higher you get the lonelier you get”. It took me 7 months to reflect on this line and my meaning of happiness after success is that I want to continuously work on my dreams and have more meaningful goals but this time I don’t want to leave my loved ones on the side.

May 10, 2023 Ep. 131: How to Cope with Shame
We have been so much in life and there are times when we are shameful of our actions and the things we have done. There are also times that our failures may make us feel shameful. I have experienced so much in life that nowadays shame even does not give me bad feelings for more than a day. The last time I felt so ashamed was when things ended with my ex-boyfriend, I was so sure of him and us that even telling people about what happened to us embarrassed me. I felt like I was not going to move on from him, up to now I feel sad every time I talk about him and all the things we had to go through together. It took me three years to feel a little bit better about and I am still a work in progress.

May 06, 2023 Ep. 130: Red Flags to Watch Out in Friendships
The tricky thing about friends is that we often just feel so much affection and love for them that we can sometimes be blind to their more harmful and negative behaviors. Making friends is hard but cutting them off is even harder, everyone can be toxic, even I can be toxic, probably I have been also toxic to some of the people I used to be friends with. The thing is no one is perfect, and there are chances that sometimes we just get to the routines with someone but that does not mean we don’t have the option to move on and grow for ourselves and let these people who does not match our beliefs and values. Keep progressing, knowing yourself and people around you.

May 03, 2023 Ep. 129: 5 Things to Always Keep Private
Yes, we can share our life with our families and friends, but I personally think that not everything should be shared. When we overshare we give people the power to use something against us. Oversharing normally leads to a lot of problems, pressure and unnecessary envy that we don’t need. I have encountered envy from my closest friends and family members, my journey in life has been unique and I’ve learned to just keep things to myself and only share what I know people can absorb and won’t use against me.
