The Old You Vs The New You Podcast

In this episode, I had a conversation with Jobert E. Abueva about The Janus Plan: Beating the Procrastination Trap. We spoke about procrastination traps that keep people from reaching their goals, moving on from negative situations, overcoming low self-esteem, self-love, self-respect, self-worth, self-value, self-confidence, and believing in yourself when no one else does, and lowering yourselves to build other people up. When many people think about procrastination, they think about people who are lazy and have no inspiration. He breaks down the Janus Plan when it comes to beating the procrastination traps that are keeping you from reaching your goals and the path, purpose, and journey that you are meant to be on. He spoke on mindful cleansing & global rituals when it comes to detoxing the mind from the past and things that are keeping you stagnant, stuff, and procrastination. We spoke on why people's New Year's resolutions are broken by February. How to go about overcoming fear and insecurities that keep you procrastinating and quitting? How can our relationship with our parents be the cause of not doing the things that you can actually do, due to making you feel less than what you are, and breaking your self-esteem and self-worth? A little about Jobert E. Abueva: he is an MBA, TEDx speaker ("Beyond Resolutions: The Art of Beginning with Intention"), and award-winning author whose work has appeared in The New York Times and The Philadelphia Inquirer. Jobert is warm, articulate, and deeply relatable. Instead, he developed a flexible, 6-step framework—inspired by Janus, the two-faced Roman god of thresholds and transitions—to help people reflect on the past, clear mental and physical clutter, and build sustainable life momentum without punitive pressure.This was a great conversation, and hopefully there will be a second conversation coming soon. I hope you guys enjoy the episode.

In this episode, I had a pre-conversation with Ama K. Karikari about silence abuse, pain, and suffering when it comes to relationships, as far as family, romantic relationships, and friendships. She tells her story about what she experienced in her 15-year marriage and the silence abuse that she experienced during the marriage. We talked about the damage of silence when it comes to abuse, pain, and suffering from the people that you love. How can silence mean that you are allowing and giving permission for people to hurt, abuse, neglect, manipulate, and take advantage of you? How can silence be harmful to the point that it affects your self-esteem and how you see yourself? How did she overcome the silence abuse, and get out of the marriage? What was the breaking point that made her leave? How can silence be abusive, and no one think that it is abuse? A little about Ama: she is a TEDxGeorgeSchool speaker, author of Silenced to Soaring, transformational guide, attorney, and founder who helps women understand covert emotional harm and reconnect with their voice. Her perspective is shaped by work with women’s leadership, educational, and community audiences, along with studies at Harvard, Penn Law, and Wharton. It was a beautiful conversation that I wanted to share with my audience when it comes to overcoming adversity, pain, abuse, trauma, and suffering due to silence. The second part is coming soon. I hope you guys enjoy the conversation.

In this episode, I had a pre-conversation with Ezra Vancil about his redemption and forgiveness when it comes to him overcoming addiction, depression, a felony DWI, a broken marriage, and a season where I nearly ended my life. How is it now, 13 years of being sober, his marriage was restored, and I rebuilt my life slowly, through journals, poetry, discipline, faith, and honest work? How, like the story of Humpty Dumpty, he put himself back together again after falling off the wall? We talked about his life as a rock star when he was younger, ended up on drugs and alcohol. And was divorced twice. How people are quick to use your mistakes, flaws, imperfections, and weaknesses against you as a weapon? We talked about spiritual judgment when it comes to the way that people in the Bible were judged, who did nothing but what was right. We also discussed love and being liked addiction as far as what people are willing to do for it, and what will happen negatively that will destroy you. We also talked about the way that felons are judged and crucified for their past mistakes. Why are people always holding people's past mistakes as a weapon against them? Why are people not allowed to change for the better just because they have made a mistake or multiple mistakes in their past? We talked about how our children, friends, and families are impacted and affected by addictions. We talked about suicide and what happens if and when we survive it. What leads to suicide, and no will to live? We really dove deeply into redemption and overcoming addictions. It was a great conversation that I had to let you guys hear. Part 2 is coming soon. Enjoy the conversation.

In this episode, this is part 2 of the pre-conversation I had with Vincent Van den Broec about the near-fatal scooter accident that could have unalived him and could have left him paralyzed. The Zoom went, and it divided the recording and video into 2 parts. We talked about how he overcame his diagnosis through determination, drive, dedication, and the will not to let what the doctors told him make him feel sorry for himself. We talked about how we self-sabotage ourselves by believing what others say negatively. We talked about the importance of the connection between the mind, body, and spirit as far as how we deal with pain, trauma, and suffering. We talked about how he could have given up and instead chose to fight his diagnosis, his wives, and his loved ones' support. We talked about how we can program the body to be on the same page as your mind as far as what it wants it to do. How the mind and body are not on the same page, how we are impacted and affected by our decisions, choices, actions, and behavior, and the consequences, repercussions, and karma that come with them. How he e spent three weeks in a coma, had part of his skull removed, and had to relearn how to walk and talk from scratch. We also talk faith and second chances at life, and not waste your second chance at life. The psychological reality of that recovery, and what it did to his family watching from the outside, is raw in a way that will hit your listeners hard. What is important about his story is the fact that he doesn't believe trauma changed him. He believes it tested what was already there. Resilience isn't something you find in the dark, he says. You build it long before you need it. He is currently writing a book about his journey of adversity, healing, and recovery. It was a great and powerful conversation that made me have to post this conversation of faith, adversity, resilience, drive, and belief that led him to a full recovery. I hope you enjoy this conversation. Part 2 of our conversation is coming soon.

In this relationship, I had a great conversation with Angela Jenkins about diets vs holistic lives when it comes to weight loss and being healthy. We spoke about why eating “healthy” still is not enough for so many people, especially in midlife, and how symptoms are often clues instead of problems to suppress? We talked about America when it comes to chemicals in our food and processed food, even though it seems healthy, but it really isn't. We talked about weight loss when it comes to the reasons why you are losing weight that can lead to gaining the weight right back. We talked about how even though some people look, eat, exercise, and seem healthy externally, that doesn't physically mean that they are healthy internally. The stereotype in society standards when it comes to external health and wellness, and physical appearance. We talk about the importance of mental and physical communication when it comes to decisions, actions, behavior, and choices that will impact and affect your health and wellness. We talked about understanding how detoxification, gut health, inflammation, nutrient status, environmental exposures, and lifestyle all work together. A little about Angela, she is the founder of Health Is Local and a Registered Dietitian with 30 plus years of clinical experience. I teach a root-cause approach through what I call The Root Cause Lens, helping people understand how detoxification, gut health, inflammation, nutrient status, environmental exposures, and lifestyle all work together. My focus is real food, practical detoxification, and helping people restore energy, clarity, and confidence.It was a great conversation, and I hope that you guys enjoy the conversation.

In this episode, I had a great pre-conversation about the Dhrasti Method and Perception Theory. We talked about his life as a people pleaser for most of it, which led him to the Dhrasti Method and Perception Theory. We talked about low self-esteem, low self-worth, low self-value, low self-respect, low self-love, low self-confidence, and believing in oneself when no one else does; how his medical and mental health journey has led him to be the founder of Dhrasti Method Ltd and the author of Dhrasti! The Perception? We talked about self-esteem healing and recovery when it comes to building your self-esteem through the negative situations that you are in, and the people who have harmed you. He spoke on being a qualified hypnotherapist and business advisor, the state of bliss, and how to live with bliss and joy too. We spoke about how this method can lead you to being alone to find who you are, heal and recover from your trauma, abuse, suffering, pain, and hurt from negative people and situations. We also spoke about religion and spirituality when it comes to building yourself into the new version of you. How the higher power pulls you away from the world for you to heal, recover, learn, grow, and evolve to prepare you for the things that will hurt and cause you pain and suffering, and how to protect yourself from negative people and situations. It was a great conversation about self-esteem, self-love, and self-value. We will be doing a part of this episode coming soon.

In this episode, I had a great conversation with Paul Drayton about his memoir Ride, or Die Trying. We talked about his battle with alcohol and being a people pleaser throughout his whole life. We talked about his marriage and divorce from comedian Alan Carr. He was very candid account of addiction recovery, accountability, grief, a late ADHD diagnosis at 50, and rebuilding his life. How did the drinking addiction almost ruin his life and career? How has his healing and recovery journey led him to rebuilding, and he is now in a much happier place? We talked about how being a people pleaser and lowering yourself is ruining so many people's lives. How being a people pleaser starts from childhood based on trying to please our parents and living up to their expectations. He also talks plainly about making peace with past mistakes, not being defined by public opinion, and rebuilding self-worth without dressing it up. There’s humour and honesty in the way he reflects on chaos, identity, loss, and starting over. People do not understand the damage that being a people pleaser causes to all aspects of your life, health, and wellness. It was a very enlightening conversation that I wanted you guys to hear. We will be doing a part two to that conversation soon. I hope that you enjoy the conversation.

In this episode, we talk about the invisible child when it comes to the old version of them versus the new version of them. We talk about the difference between the golden child, and the invisible child when it comes to how they’re treated from when they are children all the way up to when they are adults. We talk about how the invisible child is always the one that has to always make the sacrifices, and always has to lower themselves in order to build her or his family. They are always the dependable ones that everybody depends on. But when it comes to them, they never do for them what the other person does for them. So when it comes to the old version of the invisible child is not as easy to break as people may think. It’s hard to say no to people when you’ve been conditioned to say no no matter what. Your feelings mattering when you’ve been told your whole entire life that your feelings never mattered in the first place. I’m sure there’s a lot of people that can relate to the invisible child when it comes to the old versus the new version of yourself. When you finally get sick and tired of being the invisible child, and you finally find who you are, but most importantly actually being able to say no to the people that have been conditioning you to always say yes. So I hope this episode helps millions of people that are considered the invisible child when it comes to their families and other people that claim to care about them. And I think it’s time that we discussed this particular child when it comes to how they’re being treated and how it impacts and affects them as adults when it comes to how they allow people to treat them.

In this episode, I talk about how to let go of the old version of you in order to become the new version of you. A lot of people think that because they’ve moved forward that they’re not still stuck in the past, when in all actuality, they’re still doing things that are based on their past version of themselves. Some people are stuck in the old good times versus creating new memories of a new version of themselves. Some people are comfortable and complacent in the person that they are, instead of trying to grow, evolve, and elevate into a new version of themselves. So you can’t get something better, if you’re still doing things the same way. You can’t move forward if you’re still dwelling and still focusing on the past. You have to close those old chapters in your life, in order to create and begin new chapters of your life as far as the new stories in your book. I hope this podcast episodes give you guys so much in inspiration as far as the importance of letting go of what was and focusing more so on what is and what will be as far as a present and the future.
