Today our boy JP Peña joins us on the podcast to share his story. It’s always so refreshing to hear the man’s perspective. The vulnerability. The work he has done. The healing process after the chaos. The moment he attempted to take himself out, but God said NOT today! We love JP and his honesty. A true story teller. Make sure you follow him on IG: @thejppena for more inspiration and for any real estate need you may have. It’s a breath of fresh air to meet men that are doing the work on themselves.

We see a lot of conversations on the internet where people talk about the importance of being humble. They say being humble will take you places, BUT, they forget to tell you that being too humble won’t take you anywhere.

There is a thin line between being humble and being too humble. The difference is big. One can take you to great heights, meanwhile the other can prevent others from knowing about you.

In the current world we live in, we should be the marketers of our own talent. People are often busy with their own lives. They won’t be able to see your potential unless you show them what you’ve got.

We’re not telling you to be arrogant or be a show-off. There is a thin line between telling “I can do it” and “I am the only person who can do it.” Always go for the first option.

Let’s get into the conversation and take a look at what happens when you’re being too humble.

Today our girl Melissa Dumaz stop by the show to talk about her book, The Love Challenge.

Are you ready to restore, reignite, and/or replenish the love in your relationship?

After we’ve been in a relationship for a while, the initial passion cools, and we wonder if we should just settle in for a less exciting love life. But what if there was an easy, fun way to heat your relationship back up?

The Love Challenge is a daily challenge that will help you increase, enhance, nurture, grow, and improve the love in your life between you and your significant other. All you need is a willing heart, a desire for more fun, and 30 days.

This challenge is set-up to be done by you, it does not require that your significant other do it with you, but of course the two of you can do the challenge together.

Make sure you follow her on IG: @MelissaDumaz or visit her website www.MelissaDumaz.com

Accountability is a game changer! It’s super humbling yes… BUT it removes the shame from your choices and circumstances. Accountability is the ability to take responsibility for one's actions, decisions, and behaviors, and to accept the consequences But why is accountability so hard? It's largely because we aren't very good at admitting when we've made mistakes. It sucks! In fact, scientifically, our brains will naturally do whatever they can to justify our actions so that we feel better about our decisions. The LACK of accountability is when we fail to accept our own shortcomings and mistakes. Is that YOU?

Yes, almost everyone judges others at some point. Judging is a natural part of human behavior and instinct that's difficult to suppress. Here are some reasons why: 

• It's easy: Judging is simple and doesn't require much thought or reasoning. 

• It's automatic: Our brains are wired to make automatic judgments about others' behaviors. 

• It's evolutionary: Early humans needed to quickly assess threats and opportunities in their environment. 

• It's based on scripts: We make judgments based on pre-programmed mindsets or scripts. 

What are some things you judge squad? Drop it in the comments.

What is happiness? Everyone has their own definition of happiness. And truthfully happiness looks different for everyone. Happiness looks different for people especially at different ages. We are the ones that decide what happiness is for our own individual self. What makes you happy, may not make me happy and guess what that’s OK. Is society so programmed to believe that only certain things will bring you happiness? You choose and you decide what happiness looks like for you. Let’s celebrate other people’s happiness, it’s doesn’t have to look like our happiness. We are all on unique paths, rock your happiness and be happy for others as well.

Owning who you are is the idea of accepting yourself completely, including your strengths and weaknesses, and living life without regrets or apology. It can also mean understanding and embracing your core identity. Own your decisions, and own who you are, but without apology.

So many times we doubt our decisions. We look at what others are doing and think if we should be changing our style and point of view to fit the larger market. And the answer is not a resounding NO but a be open to the new, take in what resonates but always hold on to your true self. If you are not speaking your truth, whose are you speaking?
