The Power and Potential Podcast with Miriam Buttu

A few years ago during December, I remember feeling an intense urge for change. An intense urge to turn a new page, start fresh, and change my life. The problem was that I had no idea where that urge was coming from or WHAT I specifically needed to change to be happy.

Luckily, I followed the urge, and what ended up coming out of it was a year end review process that I continue to turn to year after year.

Now, I'm sharing this process with you in this week's episode of The Power & Potential Podcast! It is incredibly powerful, and it has worked wonders in my life. I can't wait for you to listen in on this episode and give the review process a shot!

It's a deep and reflective process that helps you get to the bottom of what REALLY needs to change.

Not the surface-y stuff like getting a new job or losing weight. This process helps you get to the root of the good and bad things you've been experiencing, so that you know exactly what you need more of, and less of, in 2019!

I also created a free workbook to facilitate your review experience. The structure is already there, the questions and prompts are there…all you need is to put aside some time to truly reflect. You so got this!

Download it now so you have it on hand when you're done listening!

Part 2 of this process is coming soon and it will guide you through planning 2019 in the most authentic and true way for YOU. So stay tuned for that episode!

Until then, I hope you enjoy this episode, and as always I would love to hear from you over on Instagram OR in the comments below this post! (And whatever you do, don't forget to download the workbook because you will absolutely need it!)

Happy Listening & Reviewing! Xx

Have you ever taken a step back from your life for just one second and wondered, "How did I get here, and is this really what being an adult is all about?!?"

If so, I have good news for you because there is something you can do about it today! In this episode, I interview Jenny Paul from 'Live Long and Hustle'. Jenny started her career as a Corporate Lawyer at a top-tier law firm and quickly realized she was out of alignment. Her story of how she transitioned into becoming a successful Entrepreneur, and how she continues to check in with herself and pivot, accordingly is beyond inspiring. 

Jenny shared so much wisdom about how she has designed a career and life that she loves by strengthening her intuition and connecting with herself, and I can guarantee you that you'll have at least 10 takeaways from this conversation!

This episode is a must-listen for anyone who wonders if THIS is the life you've been working so hard to have. If you've ever wondered if you're missing a huge piece of the puzzle, you most likely are! Make sure to listen to this episode right now, because I don't want you to miss out on something that has the power to change everything for you.

And when you're done listening, come on over to Instagram and let us know how this episode impacted you. Jenny and I would LOVE to hear from you (Tag us both @miriambuttu and @livelongandhustle).

Happy Listening!

Let's be honest with each other for one second, shall we? We all have feelings. Men and women, socially acceptable or not, we all have them.

If I asked a room full of 100 people to put their hand up if they were taught how to process their emotions, how many people do you think would raise their hand? I would bet that less than 10 hands would go up. 

Growing up, we learn that emotions are inconvenient and disruptive and that we shouldn't have them. As a result, we learn to suppress them (and we learn to do this really, really well!), and we never learn how to deal with them effectively.

However, understanding our emotions gives us access to a whole new level of self-understanding and self-awareness. When we can identify our triggers and understand why they create the reactions they create, we regain the power over how we feel every single day.

In this episode of The Power & Potential Podcast, I share a personal story that happened to me recently where I was emotionally triggered and I break down the steps required to process that experience. 

After this episode, you'll become more aware of your emotional triggers and reactions, and you'll slowly decrease how often you suppress them. This episode is life-changing!

If you get anything out of this episode, which I am sure you will, I would love it if you would come on over to Instagram and let me know! If you're feeling like a superhero today, head on over to Itunes and leave me a review there! 

Enjoy! 

Like you, and most of the North American world, I've been thinking the wrong way about what it means to play and have fun, for way too long. 

As adults, we are hyper-focused on productivity and results, and our actions reflect these priorities. But what you probably don't know is how powerful of a tool play actually is in achieving HIGHER productivity and results. This blew my mind!

In this episode of the Power and Potential Podcast, Gary ware schools me on what play actually means, and how we can all be integrating in our lives right now. Doing this allows us to show up more fully in our work and in our lives as a whole. It decreases our stress and increases our joy and fulfillment.

So you tell me, who DOESN'T want that? 

This is an episode I know you'll enjoy and I can't wait to hear how it changes your world. It definitely changed mine!

Dare to Lead. By: Brene Brown

Have you ever felt awkward talking to people you don't know? Or even to people you do know? Do you struggle to find people to surround yourself with that truly understand you and can support you? If you said yes, this episode is definitely for you.

In this episode, I interview Jan Keck. Jan grew up in Germany and felt invisible most of his childhood. He didn't really socialize with others, and he would rarely speak up or raise his hand in class. He was the guy who sat next to you in math and years later you completely forgot about.

Growing up he craved connection, and although he made big advancements through joining sports clubs and summer camps and other groups, he realized he didn't have it all figured out when he moved to Canada in 2008.

He knew no one, he wasn't fluent in English, and although Canadians were super friendly on the surface, it was hard to create deep relationships.

8 years later, Jan has not only figured out how to build his own community that is loving, supportive and encouraging; He is also helping others to do the same.

Jan's story is empowering and inspiring and he is a joy to listen to and learn from. I know you will enjoy this episode!

Do you worry about what people think or say about you? Before you do something new or different. Do you stop to think about how it would look to others or how you would be perceived?

More importantly, does this end up scaring you out of what you really want to do? 

If so, you are not the only one! I have been there and back many times. 

In this episode, I get personal with you about how the Fear of Judgement has impacted me in my life and in my career. I also talk about how I started to realize the impact that this fear was having over me and how I started to get over it.

I hope that my stories and lessons learned will help you see the fear of judgement in your own life, and very slowly learn to release it. 

I'd love to hear what you think about this episode, so please do connect with me over on Instagram OR leave me an iTunes review! :)

I hope you enjoy!

Have you ever wondered if you are on the right path in life? Have you ever wanted to make a drastic change and wondered if you should or how you would even go about it? Or maybe like many of us (including myself) you often feel like the odds are just stacked up against you.

If that resonates with you, than I know 100% for sure that you will love this interview. In today's episode of the Power and Potential Podcast, I interview Jolyn GC who I consider to be a friend and a mentor.

Jolyn GC is a modern and contemporary portrait artist based in Seattle. It wasn't until after her decision to leave her career as a criminal prosecuting attorney that she rekindled her interest in art. Her signature mixed media collage portraits, called Afro Jazz, serve as artistic contribution to the narrative that #BlackLivesMatter and reflects the African Diaspora with its use of vibrant African textiles and the beauty of blackness.

Influenced by her legal background, Jolyn has developed a social justice art program for teens called TEENERGY that teaches young leaders how to use their creative voice for social change. As the curator and owner of a digital art gallery, she enjoys helping emerging artists define their own artistic paths. When she is not advocating for the arts, she splits her time between Seattle and Jamaica with her husband living a life driven by her mantra: "I have unlimited permission slips to create as I see fit."

I am telling you, prepare to be inspired! Jolyn is the most confident, yet humble, person I have ever met and I know that you can learn an absolute ton from her.

When I realized that I had completely stopped achieving my biggest goals, even though I was still putting in as much effort (if not more) than I ever was, I knew something was really wrong. 

When I started thinking about it deeply, and searching inside of myself for answers, I found that I had become completely paralyzed from fear. 

I was still doing all the things, still super busy, but got to a place where I wasn't making progress at all. I was spinning my wheels and staying in the exact same spot.

In this episode, I share some personal stories around recognizing fear for what it is, and learning to convert it into courageous moments where I have the opportunity to be BOLD and BRAVE. I also share with you a practical exercise that you can do right now to start your own journey of converting your biggest fears into massive opportunities for growth.

The unexpected result is that I became a million times happier, and it helped me to start meeting the big goals that I've had for myself for years.

I would love to know what your key takeaway is from this episode and what big fear you'll be conquering moving forward!
