Instagram Live with Preeti! (2019-02-19)
Yooooo! Here's a bonus episode!
I have been challenged by my biz bestie Preeti to show up "in-person" on Instagram more often, so here is a conversation that she and I had on her channel (https://instagram.com/preeti.sareen) about handling challenges.
We start out talking about entrepreneurs, but the principles we discuss are really applicable to anyone.
Follow us both and expect way more of this.

Ep. 27 - "Allowing" (Hacking Affirmations)
Quick update: not everyone knew I was changing the name of my podcast, so it has temporarily been renamed "Life Coaching with Ryan." More updates to come on that.

Highlights:
- Not everyone is down for "I am peaceful."
- Identification can create entitlement.
- Allowing gives opportunities for growth.
I'll be releasing a bonus episode on the heels of this one, talking with my biz bestie Preeti Sareen (https://instagram.com/preeti.sareen). So you'll be hearing from me soon!

Ep. 23 - "Victims and Judges, Part 1" (Failure on the Journey)

Highlights:
- Redefining failure
- Victimhood and judgment are two sides of the same coin (locus of control)
- Being able to receive the judgment of others

In this episode, I finish my conversation with my friend, Jenny, who lost both her parents within two years. We discuss the transformation that can happen between people near death and how society presently deals with death and grieving.
Highlights:

- Release of grief can be transformative.
- How we live is often how we die, and yet, death and dying can change so much.
