There's a clear difference between being alone and being lonely. Don't confuse the two.

Our modern society has evolved into one with infinite stimuli and our addiction to social media feeds our FOMO ---unless you don't let it. Moreover, you feel judged or awkward if you're doing something alone---again, unless you practice the art of being alone and learn to love it.

In this episode, host Chris Oh shares how she started practicing the art of being alone more than six years ago, what inspired her practice and how this art can have a profound, life changing impact on your self confidence, self love and self awareness.

You'll also learn five powerful reasons why you can consider practicing the art of being alone and 10 ways on how you can start today!

Most of us take breathing for granted. 

Yet science proves that conscious breathwork can be a powerful mechanism to tap into our autonomic nervous system. By understanding the basic principles of breath and why we are wired with a sympathetic dominance , we discover the power lies within us in our conscious breath to stimulate our nervous and endocrine systems for better health (even down to the cellular level), vitality and yes, also longevity!

In this fascinating episode, ex-pharmacist turned holistic health expert and the founder of the international school of breathwork Soma Breath, Niraj Naik shares how he started on his path in healing and educating others through breathwork and how the power of conscious breath can be your own pharmacy.

You'll learn so much more than you think about the power of breathwork, i.e., how you can create stem cells on demand just by controlling your breath in a certain way and what makes SOMA Breath uniquely different and transformative.

Does your hairdresser know more about you then some other people in your network? Have you ever thought to yourself after the fact, "oh, I really didn't need to share all that with that person."

Science tells us there are five varying reasons we may overshare, i.e., there's a false sense of intimacy. And in our hyper digitized world where many of us use social media like a personal journal, our brain works in a certain way the more we share online.

In this episode, host Chris Oh shares how this episode was inspired by a personal lesson she's now passed on to her brother and explores how we can recognize when we're oversharing, what science tells us about why we tend to overshare and how we can prevent ourselves from oversharing if it's superfluous.

• The unique mindset techniques to implement in the moment of anger and frustration to  consciously choose compassion.

An estimated $23.9 billion will be spent this year on Valentine's Day.  Weeks and days leading up to this February holiday will also create a lot of anxiety and stress related to how (and if) to express one's love for their partner that may meet their expectations to conjuring up feelings of shame and/or loneliness if single on this day.

But why? Why do we get so worked up about this holiday?

Host Chris Oh shares her discovery of the real origins and meaning of this holiday (which may surprise you) and how we know of Valentine's Day today is feeding our hyper consumerism culture. Moreover, exploring if the narrative we've been told about its meaning  should really be dictating what we think and how we feel about the real meaning of love.

Have you ever caught yourself trying to explain yourself or perhaps felt you were trying to be convinced out of your decision when you were certain of your choice or stance?

Over explaining ourselves is more common than you think. Not only is it superfluous, but it's a liberating feeling having the self confidence to own your own decisions and choices without having the need to explain yourself.

Moreover, studies in psychology tells us that over explaining and over sharing are rooted in past trauma.

In this episode, host Chris Oh explores her findings of how over sharing and over explaining are linked to past trauma, how we can catch ourselves from the act of over sharing and over explaining and why it's so important not to in order to gain more inner peace.
