OPC 82: The Power of Vulnerability
Omar Pinto Coaching
It is not easy to lead a life in recovery, and maintaining that life takes an extraordinary amount of vulnerability. Drinking and abusing drugs fosters a strong sense of shame and guilt that is not easy to overcome. We often feel as though we will never be good enough, or that we will always disappoint our loved ones. Furthermore, we are often afraid to even succeed. The reality is that in order to grow and change we have to become vulnerable and express these feelings to those who are close to us. This episode of Omar Pinto Coaching Podcast, features Omar’s discussion with Joe. Joe is...

OPC 81: Setting Boundaries with a Toxic Parent
Omar Pinto Coaching
Some of us have loving, caring, and supportive parents. Unfortunately, there are those of us who have toxic parents. They might be addicts, narcissists, or generally abusive. As children we fall into the habit of trying to be seen and heard by our parents, but with a toxic parent that never happens. Once we begin to heal our childhood trauma, we may realize that it is time to start setting boundaries with a toxic parent. Breaking away from a parent that is causing chaos in our lives will bring up enormous amounts of emotions. It may lead to grief, anger, or resentment. Embracing our emotions...

OPC 80: Addicted To How Food Makes You Feel
Omar Pinto Coaching
If you are struggling with your health and physical wellness it is important to understand that you are not alone. Admitting you have a problem is always the first step. The next step is figuring out how the problem started. The final step is creating a reasonable and sustainable solution. Just like drugs, food can be addicting because it generates positive emotions when we consume it. Food is necessary to sustain our lives, but just like anything else it can be abused in order to distract us from our feelings. In this episode of Omar Pinto Coaching Podcast, Omar helps Damian heal his...

OPC 78: Is it OK to Recognize my Own Success and Accomplishments
Omar Pinto Coaching
Self love is the biggest gift that we can give ourselves. We can often find ourselves looking for love from anywhere, but from ourselves. We try to seek validation from our partners, our jobs, society, parents, and many other outlets. Unfortunately most of the places we turn to are incapable of offering us complete approval and unconditional love. We find that the void simply cannot be filled, until we finally accept that the unconditional love we seek can only come from within ourselves. This episode of Omar Pinto Coaching, starts with Omar and Patrick's discussion on how to navigate...

OPC 77: Self-Awareness & Recognizing Our Own Limits
Omar Pinto Coaching
Growth and change can be difficult. Most, if not all, people find change to be extremely uncomfortable, but it is a necessary evil in order to continue on the self-development journey. Ironically, we can often feel the change coming. Before major growth we usually feel restless, irritable, and discontent. This is the time when meditation and connection becomes extremely important. We have to reconnect with our truest intention and purpose in order to manifest the positive change that we need to make in order to keep growing. This episode of Omar Pinto Coaching, features Omar’s interview with...

OPC 75: The Power of Choice With Jolenny Piedra
Omar Pinto Coaching
Humans are unique in the fact that we are blessed with freewill. Free will is both a blessing and a curse, since it gives us the power of choice. Making choices can be a difficult process. We can be influenced by those around us, the information we consume, or the research that we look into. We can also become obsessed with making the “wrong or right” choice. If we begin to make choices that are in alignment with our true vision for ourselves, then we break free from others' expectations and there is no longer a wrong choice. Today, Omar introduces us to Jolenny Piedra. Jolenny is a...

OPC 74: Setting Yourself Up for Pain and Disappointment
Omar Pinto Coaching
One of the biggest things we can do to create resentments is to have expectations. The most common individuals that we place expectations on are our loved ones and family members. We often idealize, hope for, or expect our family members to act in a way in which they are incapable of doing. Even if we have seen that they are unable to meet our expectations, we still have them. These types of false expectations only cause us harm. Once we release our expectations and see the relationship with clarity, we can begin to achieve emotional freedom from the attachment. In this episode of Omar Pinto...
