  • MINDSET MONDAY - Find Your Pain Cave

    Find your pain cave. Find the cave of pain that seems ultimately impossible to enter and enter it. When you feel as though you can no longer move forward; move forward. Your mind is incredibly powerful and through pain we grow. Through pain we see that we are capable of far more than we tend to limit ourselves to and through discomfort and execution we grow and exceed all limits we thought we had. Enter your pain cave, attack your pain, and watch yourself flourish into the best version of yourself.

  • MINDSET MONDAY - "No Bad Days"

    There’s nothing wrong with having a bad day, but there is everything wrong in labelling a day as bad and not even trying to make it good. There’s great pride in trying your hardest every day and giving full effort towards your own happiness. Not every day is going to be a fantasy to live, but every day has the potential to be. Never give up on a day just because it gets a little challenging. I challenge you to challenge yourself and never write-off a day before it’s truly over.

  • Episode 38: Embracing Creativity with Edward Graham

    Edward Graham doesn't classify himself as an artist, but rather, he classifies as a creative. In talking to him and as you'll see in this episode he is a driven and passionate person who just loves to create. His lifestyle is based off of spontaneity and creativity. Edward claims that being a creative person goes hand-in-hand with being spontaneous. Each day he frees himself from 'reality' and follows a path paved by creativity. Edward is the first one to preach that we that our purpose is not found in one day or on the first try. When finding our purpose we typically fall into different jobs, discover our likes and don't likes, and fabricate an abundance of dreams. Eddie has found his purpose in life and hopefully his episode encourages you to do the same.

  • MINDSET MONDAY - Hold Yourself Accountable

    Holding yourself accountable seems so easy on paper, but when it comes time to actually doing so we fail. Why is that? Why can’t we just do what we say we are going to do? There are so many factors that lead to our lack in self accountability and even more excuses that follow afterwards. In this episode I used my own life as an example and talked about my jump away from procrastination. I was always a procrastinator and the king of excuses, but I realized that it was time for me to step up and start holding MYSELF accountable. There’s real power in holding yourself accountable, but the million dollar question is are you willing to to put in the work without anybody watching and nobody praising you

  • Episode 37: High School Dropout Turns Successful Business Owner with David Tescu

    David Tescu is a man of many traits and many stories. Most people will probably be most curious on how David became a successful business owner at age 19, and I'm going to spoil it for you; hard work! Plain and simple, he worked as hard as he could. David, after dropping out of school at age 14, claimed that he knew he put himself ten steps behind. But, he also knew the potential he had and decided that it outweighed school. You cannot tell that David was a high school dropout and you can definitely see that he dropped out for good reason. He embraced his entrepreneurial side and clearly he made the right choice. David clearly proves that anything is possible as long as you believe in yourself and your abilities.

  • MINDSET MONDAY - The Value Of Time

    Time is the most valuable thing to ever exist. You cannot purchase it, you cannot stop it, and you definitely can't get it back. We all tend to claim that we have nothing but time when it comes to living out our dreams, but do we? What if you were told that you had a month to live? What if you were told that you had a day to live? Would you continue doing exactly what you are doing or would you make better use of your TIME? I know, it seems a little on the crazy side, but time is continuous and what better time to live than right now? Anything can happen at any given time, so make the most of every day, every minute, and every second. Time is the most valuable thing in existence, but unfortunately it is not treated that way. Cherish the time you have because you never know when your clock will stop ticking.

  • Episode 36: Struggle Follows No Script with Yuyu Kitamura

    STRUGGLE CREATES STRENGTH IS INTERNATIONAL!! This week we took the podcast all the way to Hong Kong to speak with Yuyu Kitamura. She currently lives in Hong Kong and is an actress, a film maker, a sister, and, most of all, she is an empowering woman that will act as an inspiration to thousands. She has not had a life full of ease, but she's also the last person to express her struggles. My impression on Yuyu is that she wants to be acknowledged for the work she puts forth rather than the struggles she encounters along the way. Yuyu showcases the strength that is found when embracing your vulnerability. She is the first one to admit that the process of sharing your story is not easy, but it is a very freeing experience. Be bold. Be brave. Be like Yuyu.

  • MINDSET MONDAY - Everything Happens For A Reason

    Everything that has happened in your past has brought you to exactly where you are today. It's important to reflect on your past and acknowledge what it has taught you. Success teaches you the effort it takes to achieve your goals. Pain and struggle teach you how to be strong. Heartbreak teaches you self-love and respect. loss teaches you to value time and those around you. Everything in our life teaches us and paves the path of our future. Every situation (good, bad, happy, sad, etc) allows us to grow and learn. Life is meant to throw you obstacles, so you can hurdle them and become a better version of yourself. I want you to reflect on your past and realize that every single thing that has happened thus far brought you to this exact point. So, every time something presents itself I want you to ask yourself two questions, "Why is this happening?" and "What is the reason for this?" Everything happens for a reason and it's your job to find that reason.

  • Episode 35: Music's Magical Powers with Költon Widell

    Költon Widell has a passion for creativity and a story that needed to be told. Despite only being 19, he has learned how to handle his ego and obtain a strong mindset. As we talk about in the podcast, ego can overtake people's lives in a negative way or it can show people guidance in a positive way. Our ego tends to feed off of emotions and for Költon he has acknowledged these emotions, but even more so when creating music.  

    Music has the ability to make us feel, heal, and compress so many of our emotions. For Költon, this speaks exactly true on all counts. He expresses the 'life high' he receives when performing, the ways it allows him branch out and show his true self, and also how without his own knowledge, it allowed him to compress a traumatizing memory for years. Music can act as an escape route for some, but as Költon proves, it can also be an amazing way to express passion, love, and creativity.

About Struggle Creates Strength

From the publisher's feed

Struggle Creates Strength started solely off of my internal drive to help people facing mental health struggles. I have personally struggled with mental health my entire life, so it is a subject that I hold close to my heart. By no means am I an expert on the topic of mental health, but through various personal encounters I have become a very knowledgeable mental health advocate.
