Luxury isn't always about material things—it’s about living in alignment with what truly matters to you. In 2024, I focused on making my life more authentic by aligning my actions with my values. Adventure, joy, health, and faith became the pillars of my everyday choices. 

In this episode, I reflect on how aligning my life with my values in 2024 created a luxury lifestyle. I discuss how these values guided my time management, priorities, work-life balance and environement. This episode is also special because 5 amazing  LSM listeners share how they will live in luxury in 2025! 

 Tune in and decide, how will you live intentionally in 2025.

Key Takeaways:

Aligning Your Life with Your Values - Living in alignment with your values makes each decision feel purposeful. Instead of being swayed by outside pressures, you feel grounded, knowing your choices truly reflect who you are.

The Power of Delegation and Asking for Help - Luxury looks like asking for help and not being ashamed to do so.  By asking for help, you create more time for joy and fulfillment.

How to Deepen Your Relationship with God - Deepen your relationship with God by making Him a daily priority. Pray with intention, seek His guidance, and align your heart with His will through scripture. In doing so, you'll find peace, strength, and purpose.

Creating a Space That Fuels Your Best Self - An uplifting environment is not something that happens by chance but requires intentional effort. By intentionally choosing the people, spaces, and messages we engage with, we can build a life that lifts us up,  and aligns with where we’re going. 

Wealth Through Smart Money Habits - Making intentional financial choices today sets you up for a more prosperous future. By sacrificing short-term pleasures, saving, and investing wisely, you build a foundation for greater freedom and success ahead.

Keep it light.

As we look ahead to 2025, it’s essential to reflect on guiding principles that can shape our lives for the better. With a fresh new year on the horizon, it’s the perfect time to imagine the new possibilities that await us. 

So, as we enter 2025, let’s seek God, cherish our relationships, and embrace the unique paths He has laid out for us.

In this episode, I share insights on how to embrace a lighter, more intentional approach to life in 2025. We discuss the importance of grounding our lives in biblical principles, the value of community, and how embracing our current season can bring clarity to what our next steps will be.

Key Takeaways:

Living by Biblical Principles in 2025 - People may think the Bible is just a set of rules or an ancient religious book. But for those who see life through a Kingdom-minded perspective, the Bible reveals God’s active principles that as we follow and obey them, we can live a fulfilling and fruitful life. 

The Gift of Community - Community is one of life’s greatest treasures and a source of strength and insight, providing the support and encouragement we often need but can't always find within ourselves. 

Embrace Your Season - It’s easy to go through the motions of life, feeling unfulfilled despite having what society says should make you happy. Therefore, paying attention to the season we are in is crucial for recognizing opportunities and making intentional changes.

Stay Light - Life can feel overwhelming, especially when we're unsure of our direction, purpose or trying to force an outcome. It’s easy to spiral into self-doubt about our abilities. However, keeping an open hand by noticing unique talents and the skills we often overlook, can offer clarity and hope for the future.

How do we create opportunities for ourselves despite feeling uncertain?

I had always dreamed of going to medical school, but as life unfolded, I found myself drifting from that dream. I turned to my faith in Christ for guidance on how to move forward. That’s when the idea struck me—I would travel the world and speak professionally. It sounded wild, but it lit a spark within me.

If you have a dream but don’t know how to achieve it, just remember that you won’t find the answers unless you take that first step forward.

In this episode, I share a talk I gave at the University of South Florida. I focused on how to build confidence when life feels uncertain. You’ll hear about my adventures in different countries, the people I met, and how these experiences helped me grow confidence in myself and my gifts. I’ll share the ups and downs I experienced, the challenges that tested me, and how I found the courage to take one step after another.  I hope this episode inspires you to feel more confident, even in uncertainty.

Key Takeaways:

Using the Resources Available - Making dreams come true often requires resources, support, and a willingness to take risks. By being open to support, whether wisdom, financial assistance, or community, we can gather the tools we need to move forward.

Don't Allow “How” to be Your Biggest Enemy - "Uncertainty can create doubt about how to move forward. However, it's important to understand that not knowing "how" is a natural part of the process. Instead of allowing uncertainty to become a barrier, we can view it as an opportunity to be open to creative solutions."

Confidence Through Continuous Practice - Confidence is built through consistent practice and preparation. Embrace your talents, but don’t forget to hone them regularly. This way, when the next opportunity comes knocking, you’ll be ready to answer confidently and skillfully.

Boldness Breeds Opportunity - Many people achieve their desires by having the courage to ask for them. Speaking up allows us to express our needs and take control of our lives. 

Meaningful Relationships Matter - One of the quickest ways to progress is by surrounding yourself with authentic and uplifting people, who can open doors and your mind to new possibilities. The company you keep, matters.

What does luxury mean to you?

In this episode I will share an interview I had with Hailerz Global Talent Community, a platform that brings together talented individuals from around the world. It provides a space for people to connect, share their skills, and learn from each other. Through weekly competitions and challenges, members can push themselves to grow while gaining exposure to new opportunities.

My focus was on empowering global talent  to embrace their unique talents and skills through the lens of the luxury state of mind concept. This approach encourages individuals to pursue authenticity and purpose in their lives, rather than merely conforming to external pressures.

In this conversation, I had the opportunity to discuss how individuals can cultivate this mindset, particularly those who are multi-talented and multifaceted. I shared insights on how one can navigate the complexities of their unique skill sets and interests, recognizing that true fulfillment lies in living authentically.

Key Takeaways:

What is True Luxury? - Many people think that luxury means having fancy things but true luxury comes from being authentic and living with purpose. It means aligning your life with who you really are and what you truly want. 

Understanding Identity - When we think about identity, it becomes clear that it is at the heart of our existence. Knowing who we are is essential for living a meaningful life. 

The Importance of Intentional Living - Living intentionally is about making conscious choices that lead you closer to where you want to be. Remember, you don’t have to wait for the right moment to start. You can begin today. 

Finding Opportunity in Disappointment - When things seem bleak, there are always opportunities waiting to be discovered. By keeping an open mind and pursuing our dreams, we can turn challenges into stepping stones for success.

Overcoming Fear of Judgment - When we allow the fear of judgment to dictate our actions, we may miss out on opportunities that could lead to personal growth and fulfillment.

Key Takeaways:

Notable Highlights:

"Time is the one thing we cannot pay back for. We can use money to make more of it or the illusion of more time but we are not able to get time back when it's gone."

“At the end of the day, you're a human being. You can't be in multiple places operating in excellence in every single area of your life but we can change our mindset in order to create more time.”

“When you're able to ask for help in areas you're not skilled in, it frees you up and gives you the mental capacity to be able to think more.”

“Part of being strategic with your time is realizing that you can't do it all and you need to delegate.”

“Being able to learn from somebody else who knows the strategy to help you get to where you want to go can help lessen your time.”  

“What shows up in your identity is what you value.”

“Sometimes we feel a lack of time because we are not sure how to manage our time in an appropriate way and fit in all the things that matter to us.”
