768 | Are You Meant to Carry Your Stories
Own Your Choices Own Your Life
In this episode, I take you on a journey through my recent trip to Finland, a country renowned for being the happiest place in the world for five consecutive years. I share my experiences and observations, mainly focusing on the cultural nuances I encountered, such as the surprising lack of eye contact among the locals and the stories behind that. Before our trip, a friend warned us that Finns tend to avoid eye contact, which struck me as odd given the country's reputation for happiness. However, I soon discovered that making eye contact often led to people looking away, and engaging in deeper...

767 | Don't Make a Home Where It Was Supposed to Be A Lesson
Own Your Choices Own Your Life
In this episode, I explore the concept of our thoughts and the subconscious mind, highlighting that we have 60,000 to 80,000 thoughts a day, with a significant portion being negative and repetitive. I recently discussed this concept with a client who was stuck in a loop of past mistakes and regrets. I challenge listeners to consider how much of their day is spent living in the past and ask whether they truly want to create a different future. I emphasize the importance of learning from our past without allowing it to define us or become a place where we dwell. Instead, I encourage finding a...

765 | Are You Willing to Climb the Cringe Ladder
Own Your Choices Own Your Life
In this episode, I am sharing the concept of the "cringe ladder," a metaphor I recently encountered that perfectly describes the journey we all go through when we start sharing our authentic selves with the world. I reflect on my own experiences, particularly from around 2013 and 2014, when I felt isolated and struggled to connect with others amidst the curated perfection of social media. My journey began with raw and unfiltered Facebook Lives after hot yoga, where I embraced the messiness of being honest and authentic. This episode emphasizes the importance of starting, even when you feel...

764 | A Closed Heart Will Not Receive
Own Your Choices Own Your Life
In this episode, I dive into a topic that has been weighing heavily on my heart: the importance of keeping our hearts open to receive. I share my journey of learning how a closed heart, often shielded by emotional armour, can prevent us from fully experiencing life and connecting with others. To protect ourselves from past hurts, judgments, and fears, we inadvertently block not only negative but also positive emotions. This self-imposed limitation restricts our ability to express our true selves and to be seen by others. I emphasize that when we wear this armour, we are not just protecting...

After years of dating abusive men, struggling with her own drug addiction, and feeling profoundly insecure and unworthy of love or life, she chose to invest in herself and heal. In 2017, Kristina's late sister died of a fentanyl overdose, and...

762 | Who Are You Going to Be Today?
Own Your Choices Own Your Life
In today's episode, we dive deep into the question, "Who will you be today?" This episode was inspired by a journal prompt that made me pause and reflect on how we often focus on who we want to be when everything is going smoothly, but what about when things aren't going great? Who do you want to be when things are not going smoothly, when they are not in flow or alignment, and when it feels like it's challenge after challenge? I've learned to navigate those moments by asking myself who I want to be in those difficult times. It's about shifting our perspective from blaming others or...

761 | What If It Is All Possible
Own Your Choices Own Your Life
In this podcast episode, I dive into the transformative power of questioning our thoughts and beliefs. I emphasize that the quality of our lives is primarily determined by the questions we ask ourselves. Instead of succumbing to negative statements like "Why is this happening to me?" or "This is not fair," I encourage listeners to shift their mindset by asking empowering questions, such as "What if it's all possible?" I share a personal story about my recent trip to Finland, where my husband competed in the World Olympic Lifting Championships and earned a silver medal. This experience was...
