August 27, 2024 Forgiving those that suffer from mental illness
In the episode I'm getting into discussion about mental illness and the struggle to understand and give grace to those with this disorder.
Key points from this episode
• Mental illness is a disorder/disease that can alter your mood, thoughts and behavior
• Mental illness is sometimes beyond a person's control
• Having compassion for those suffering from mental illness and giving grace can assist in the healing process
Takeaway
The purpose of this episode is asking you the listener to understand empathy and support can make a difference, for those who suffer from mental illness. My hope after listening to this episode is that you allow forgiveness.
Proverbs 17:9 (New Living Translation) - Love prospers when a fault is forgiven, but dwelling on it separates close friends.

August 21, 2024 Strategies for building resilience and bouncing back from setbacks
In this episode I’m highlighting some actionable techniques you can use in your life for building resilience yet having humility that will shape your personal and professional success. Resilience involves bouncing back from setbacks, maintaining a positive attitude and adaptability. Meanwhile humbleness is acknowledging your own strengths but having modesty and willingness to learn and helping your community.
Key points from the episode
• Success only happens with - Effort, Hard Work & Flexibility
• Thinking you're the only important one - Missed opportunities & Isolation
• Not learning from mistakes - Repeated Failures & Stagnation
• Regrouping - Assess priorities, Improve Clarity & Performance
Takeaway
My aim is for everyone to have wins. Life already has ups and downs, so why should we get in our own way? I personally have blocked my own blessings due to self-doubt, fear that I will fail and pride. But life likes to bring you back to reality. I wanted to share a relatable story showing how someone pushed through barriers to achieve their goals.
