Own Your Choices Own Your Life

In this episode, I recount my experience speaking at the Manifest Her event, where I participated in a wealth panel. This opportunity sparked a significant realization about the disconnect between our lofty goals and our self-belief. I emphasize the necessity of raising our "floor"—the foundation of our self-worth and belief in our capabilities—before we can effectively reach higher goals. I discuss how failing to address this gap can lead to a cycle of self-sabotage, where unmet goals diminish our self-esteem even further. I encourage listeners to define their success and assess whether...

On this Valentine's Day episode, which emphasizes love and connection, I share a personal journey of self-discovery and the importance of leading with love. This episode is inspired by my late mother-in-law, who played a significant role in my life for nearly 40 years. Her recent passing has prompted me to reflect on the themes of vulnerability and the necessity of dropping our emotional armour. I share the concept of vulnerability, discussing how many of us have been conditioned to be strong and stoic, often at the expense of our emotional well-being. I recount my struggles with this armour,...

In this episode, I dive into the powerful distinction between pain and suffering, a topic that has resonated with many of you after I shared a thought-provoking quote on my social media.

Throughout the episode, I stress that suffering is an energy leak that can hinder our progress and well-being.

Own Your Choices Own Your Life

In this episode, I dive into the concept of our daily thoughts and how they shape the narrative of our lives. I start by sharing a striking statistic: we have between 60,000 and 80,000 thoughts daily, with 80% to 90% being repetitive and predominantly negative. This realization led me to a powerful metaphor: if we write a book in our minds daily, what kind of book are we writing? What is your "daily book" revealing about you?  Are the thoughts uplifting and empowering, or do they serve to tear you down? What would someone learn about you if they read the book of their thoughts from that...

In this episode, I dive into the idea of certainty. It's common to look at others who seem to have it all figured out and believe they possess the confidence we lack.  I challenge this notion by asserting that certainty is not something external that can be given to us; rather, it comes from within. I share my personal experience of writing my book during a chaotic time in my life, highlighting how I found certainty amidst uncertainty.

Throughout the episode, I encourage you to embrace your feelings of uncertainty as a natural part of growth. I discuss how successful individuals often face challenges that are not visible to the outside world, and how they frame their experiences as opportunities for learning and growth. I emphasize that when we resist uncertainty, we risk stagnation, but by accepting it, we open ourselves up to new possibilities.
