Chalice of Hope

Welcome to Podcast #43 where I talk about my start to the fourth semester of college and online classes. It's going to be an interesting semester as my courses will have had time to adapt and adjust to the needs of the students. In this episode, I talk about some of my goals for this semester and some of the things I look forward to even if it is an online semester. I hope you all are taking care of yourselves and are navigating the new year smoothly. If you would like to check out what Neolth has to offer, the google form is down below.

Welcome to Podcast #42! It's been a little while since I took a wellness vacation at the end of the year, however, I am ready to get the ball rolling for the new year. As the end of the year has passed and a new year dawns upon us, one of the biggest topics that become a central focus is change. New year new me is the saying which many people say or plan new year resolutions around. However, one of the biggest faults in achieving change is commitment and dedication. Many fail to reach their goals because once it is time to take action, people are not willing to put in the effort. I hope this episode helps to give you a newfound purpose in reaching your future goals for this year and beyond.

Welcome to Podcast #41 where I discuss the topic of time, and how Covid-19 has created a mundane cycle where there seems to be no progression. Every day seems to be the same with not much difference as the limitations of Covid-19 have with the stay at home order. However, in this episode, I talk about some of the routines I do to showcase where I am in the day, week, or even month. I hope the advice I talk about may help you in trying to find your own method of determining time or at least make you think about yourself and the things you enjoy! If you need a stress management resource, I highly recommend checking out Neolth's platform - the sign up will be linked below alongside my number. I hope you all have a strong finish for school.

Welcome to Podcast #39 where I discuss the significance of emotions and the importance of self-care and self-love. Yesterday, being International Men's Day, made me reflect on some of the ideas such as Toxic Masculinity and stoicism. As an advocate for mental health in everyone, I hope that I can share my own perspective on how important it is to address emotions and not shelter it to yourself. Visualizing and sharing your struggles is not a sign of weakness, but rather a sign of strength and growth! If you feel stressed or need some resources for mental health I recommend you fill out the Neolth Free Trial access and utilize the platform's resources.

Welcome to Podcast #38 where I reflect on my past 18 years of life and college. One of the things which my parents have taught me through actions was the lesson of being grateful for every opportunity given. Although not everything is rainbow sunshine, every opportunity is a learning experience for growth and maturity. It took me almost 18 years to figure that out and to truly understand what my parents were teaching me through actions. However, the message is something I will hold close to my heart and pay it forward to those around me because there holds value and development which many are struggling to find during times like these.

Welcome to Podcast #37 where I talk about one of the struggles which I have faced growing up - acknowledging that it is okay to not be okay. During this semester, I have been extremely aware of the fact that being vulnerable is nothing to be ashamed of. Being able to address that is the first step in growing and become stronger. Especially during the pandemic, I have been extremely accepting of the struggles which I have encountered because I have been to overcome them one at a time. By taking care of yourself in the short-term, you are doing yourself a favor for the long-run, whether you feel the effects right now. As always, do check out what Neolth has to offer and do send me texts about anything!

Welcome to Podcast #36 where I dive into a recent dream about addiction to phones and social media and the negative consequences which I have seen occurred. As users of social media become younger and younger, these kids are being exposed to unrealistic expectations and idolizations shown on the internet. People usually only post the good so younger kids are more compelled to believe those to be realistic and compare themselves to others, which can have many harmful effects on their mental health especially at a time of rapid growth.

Welcome to Podcast #35 where I talk about the growing concern regarding fatigue and the loss of motivation and drive. One of the things many students experience is this burnout feeling that just never seems to go away. I dive into my experiences with this tiring feeling and talk about some advice that I have given others who have felt overwhelmed with everything. It saddens me that schools are not doing a better job of addressing this issue to students early which eventually compounds on itself and creates harmful effects. I hope that everyone listening makes sure to check in on yourself and those around you. We all are struggling together so we need to support those around us.

Welcome to Podcast #34 where I talk about the current week's high intensity of stress and anxiety and how the weekend felt energyless and how this weekend has been a form of reflection. One of the things I am extremely grateful for this podcast is that it has allowed me a platform to open up about my stress and not bottle it like some of my bad habits in the past. Not only has it allowed me to build new habits, but also use my voice and stories to help others out there who may stumble across this podcast and my content. Thank you all again!

Welcome to Podcast #33 where I talk about some of the stressors I have been feeling these past few weeks. Especially during these pockets of high stress, it is always important to check up on yourself emotionally and making sure you take care of yourself. Today I focused on one of the calls I had with a friend about how failure can be frustrating in the short-run but in the end, that one test doesn't define you. Just telling him those words made him feel better and it's always important to do the small things and treasure those around you. Being available to talk is the greatest asset anyone can have. Like in the past few episodes, I work alongside a mental health startup and can refer people to Neolth's free trial access. The link will be down below alongside my phone number!

Welcome to Podcast #32 where I talk about the topic of problem-solving and how my old way of thinking has been changed to a new format. As someone who was has seen the notion of "jumping to conclusions" or "jumping to the answer", I truly believe the idea of problem-solving has to go back to the basics- breaking it into different sections. Not only is this a simple solution, but you will also learn more through the process than trying to work backwards from the solution. It is all about the process from start to finish.

Welcome to Podcast #30 where I talk about a recent failure I experienced and how it has impacted me. One of the things which I want to emphasize is the importance of making mistakes and failures because that is where true growth occurs through reevaluation and redirection. Will you let these outcomes ruin your outlook on life? Or will you let these outcomes light your internal growth flame so you learn and grow. That is something which I have been focusing on this semester, being more accepting and open to mistakes because growth is endless and mistakes are destined to happen.

Welcome to Podcast #29 where I talk about how finding your purpose takes years of trial and error, but ultimately, by taking risks, you will be one step closer to truly understanding yourself. I would like to apologize for my long hiatus. It's been a lot more stressful than I anticipated to transition into this new online format of college. I'm grateful that we had this long weekend to reflect on a topic that I have been thinking about for the past few days. I hope you learn more about what it takes to find your purpose and more about my insights. As always, I will leave my number down below, so if you would like to send me anything, feel free to give me a text! I look forward to seeing what you all have to say!

Welcome to Podcast #28, a short update of my whereabouts. Sorry for going on a week-long hiatus, but transitioning into college takes a lot out of me. I am taking care of myself but I am still adjusting to the different lifestyle. I will try to post as much as possible but it may be at different times or days of the week, so please bear with me. I wish you all safe health and hope you all are staying well. My number is down below, so send me a text about anything! I look forward to hearing what you all have to say! Until next time!

Welcome to Podcast #26 where I express my feelings about burnout, a universal feeling of dread for the things that do not give enjoyment or happiness. This is a feeling that I think everyone has felt through doing tasks or work which does not give passion but instead exhaustion and stress. Today, I talk about my experiences with burnout, and how I ultimately got over it. There are many outside forces that in the short run may disappoint others, but in the long-term, you will be miles ahead of others in finding the things which eliminate the feeling of burnout. In the end, it is all about finding your happiness and purpose in life. As always, I will leave my contact information down below, so if you have anything you would like to say, send me a text to the phone number! I look forward to seeing what you all have to say!

Welcome to Podcast #25 and the second episode of the subseries "Thoughtful Thinktank". As a refresher, Thoughtful Thinktank is my form of talking about the small things in my life when I don't have a bigger issue to address. Today's episode revolves around a personality test called the Clifton Strength Test, and me talking about my 5 biggest strengths that I got. I will share my opinions on them and address each of them in-depth. Then I end with me talking about how hard it is to move into an apartment compared to the university dorm and how self-sustaining yourself will be a journey in itself. As always, I will leave my phone number down below, so if you have anything you would like to send, just give me a quick text and I'll try to respond ASAP! Looking forward to seeing what you all have to say!

Phone Number: 248-525-8139

Welcome to Podcast #24 where I dissect the benefits of the uncertainty with the future. One of the biggest fears many students and people struggle with is the unknown of the future. People feel the most vulnerable when they can't predict the future or the events which they will eventually face. Stability is something which everyone clings onto, and it hinders growth because you will rely on the things in the past because it worked before, but won't take the risk of thinking outside of the box. Today, I support the idea that the obstacles that make us think differently and make us act on the fly are the ones that lead to the most growth. These situations highlight our weakness and strengths and allow us to make mistakes which we can all learn from. As always, I will leave my contact information down below, so send me a text if you have anything to say! I look forward to seeing what you all have to say and I may highlight some of the things sent!

Welcome to Podcast #23 where I reflect on the friendships that I have kept and those closest to me. As one of the many people who meet thousands of people, I am extremely grateful that I have found a small group of people that truly accept me for who I am, no matter my flaws or vulnerabilities.  Not only was I fortunate to have found these people as early as High School, but I will also always be grateful for all that they have given me from emotional support to memories I will always remember. I will continue to give back to them by being myself and giving back the warmth they provided me. As always, if you have anything you would like to say to me, send me a text to the number I linked down below. I look forward to seeing what you all have to say!

Phone Number: 248-525-8139

Welcome to Podcast #22 where I discuss the growing concern with the bad stigma around mental health awareness.  Especially, looking at the roots of culture and the schooling systems as being factors contributing to this growing concern. Not only is this bad stigma behind mental health a serious concern, but it also has negative effects on those struggling and seeking help, as it makes them seem "weak". I hope that my podcast and this episode can help to share my voice of change and be able to influence those to support this dire cause. As always, I will leave my contact information down below. If you have anything you want to say, please send me a text to the number below! I look forward to seeing what you all have to say!

Welcome to Podcast #21 where I reflect on the reoccurrence of memories that are from the past. Many of us struggle with this and often become too burdened by the memories associated with the past, especially if it is related to a bad memory. We often are chained down by the past because we think we can by rewriting our memories, thinking it will somehow change the past. When in reality, that only harms the possibility of changing the future. By addressing the issues we feel emotionally, physically, or spiritually, we can learn and gain more knowledge for the future when we experience similar occurrences. Reflection and acceptance are the keys to getting over the past and allowing yourself to be free.  As always, if you would like to send me anything, I will leave my contact information down below. Don't hesitate to send me a text! I would love to hear more from those who are listening!

Welcome to Podcast #20, I am extremely happy to have posted twenty episodes as it showcases that I feel safe expressing my emotions through this podcast. Today, I address one of the most troubling insecurity many others and I have felt growing up with parents whose cultures may not even acknowledge mental health. As someone who has personally felt this disconnect and now has a better understanding of their emotions, I am now using my experiences to advocate for change. Whether you were a supporter of mental health before, I hope that my own perspective on this topic will be beneficial for all those listeners. As always, my contact information is linked below. Send me a text about anything, I am all ears.

Welcome to Podcast #19 and the 3rd Installment of my subseries "My Insecurities". Today, I hammer down on some of my insecurities I felt growing up in America, and how it has affected me and many others. I felt like these were important topics to address because these problems are still felt by many today. Whether it be something about your height or the way you look, I hope you learn more about myself and gain some new perspective on how many of us feel. I will leave my contact information below, no matter what is on your mind just send me a text below and I'll try to respond ASAP! I look forward to seeing what you all have to say!

Welcome to Podcast #18, the sequel to my subseries called "My Insecurities". Today I discuss some struggles that have been eating at me for the majority of my high school life. Mostly diving into the struggles with emotional problems and the effects of long-term exposure and how it has affected my mental and character. Some of the topics I talk about are a little embarrassing for me to publicly address, but please bear with me as I may take some time to recuperate my thoughts. I hope those who are listening will learn more about me and possibly relate to some of the topics I speak about. If you have any questions about the topics in this podcast, wants to have a second pair of ears in one of your problems, or just wants to send some words of encouragement, please give me a text to the number below! I will try my best to respond ASAP! 

Phone Number: 248-525-8139

Welcome to Podcast #17, today I start my first episode where I address my insecurities and some back story about them. Join me as I open up my diary of thoughts and talk about some of the struggles I deal with currently or have dealt with in the past. Some of these topics may be a little difficult for me to talk about, but please bear with me as I unravel my wounds and publicly illustrate my insecurities. I hope those who are listening will learn more about me on this small sub-series and gain the courage to reach out to others to discuss their problems. If you would like to talk about anything, you can send a text to my contact info down below.

Welcome to Podcast #16 where I elaborate on the meaning of stress and how universal it is in terms of who experiences it, and how it holds many forms. Whether it be physical or emotional stress, finding that Goldilocks zone of stress will lead to growth and maturity. However, maneuvering yourself into this zone takes years of experience and failures. Once you find it, your life will change for the better because you can better manage the time and the stressors in a perfect environment. I hope all those who are listening will be open-minded about my own experiences with stress. No matter if you agree with my methods, I hope you can take away something to help you find your happy medium. 

Welcome to Podcast #15 where I question the term "weird" and how it is seen as something negative when in reality, it's your own form of expression.  Defining the word weird is subjective in nature and based on your own experience. This is something that I firmly stand behind and believe is the reason why people are self-conscious about their personality and character. Everyone has a different perception of "weird", so you shouldn't let others words bring you negativity. Surround yourself with those who will embrace you for yourself and not those who you are trying to please by altering your personality. I hope those who are listening will understand the importance of being yourself and not trying to be the person who pleases others by altering their persona.

Welcome to Podcast #14 where I address the benefits of being thrown into cold water. Specifically, focusing on the growth provided when learning from these sticky situations. Mindset and perspective are all crucial factors in how well one does when put into cold water, you go in with a bad mindset, you come out with one even worse. It's not that hard to address, but once we are put in the moment, it may seem difficult. However, if you take a step back and rethink it, the answer will become clear. I hope all those who are listening can learn from this differing perspective of mine and gain some knowledge from my content.

Welcome to Podcast #13 and today I am happy to introduce a new segment for this podcast, the sub-series called Thoughtful Thinktank. This series is for me to freestyle about the daily things in life, without any specific topic or focus. It's is 100% raw talking about anything that I want to. Sometimes I don't have a specific topic to talk about so I'll provide this sub-series to express myself in a different life. Hopefully, those who are listening will still gain benefits from this and will encourage you to find methods of expressing yourself.

Welcome to Podcast #12 where I discuss the interesting topic of dreams. A mystery that has yet to be solved but is something which everyone encounters, an ambiguous encounter which is a facet of our mind. I hope this podcast sparks some curiosity in you and makes you wonder or document about what you dream about.

Welcome to Podcast #11 where I recognize the significance of living your own life. Especially now, more than ever, it is important to highlight the idea that we are living our own lives, so we should do things for ourselves. Outside voices can sometimes influence how our lives turn out, but that's why you should listen to those beacons of light in your life. They will give allow you to achieve your "Chalice of Hope", and give you the motivation and energy to pursue your own life. Hopefully, after listening, you will allow yourself to listen to your own heart and chase after your own dreams.

Welcome to Podcast #10 where I reveal my experience with traditional parenting, and how I believe change needs to be implemented. One of the biggest reasons for tension between parents and kids is the fact that we are forced to live the lives of our parents. We do things to please them, we do things to make them proud, yet it never seems to satisfy them. One thing after another, we are trapped in the loop of giving our parents something to bring to the table when they talk to others while we suffer in the background. We have had enough and want to live our own lives. Hopefully, by listening to this podcast, you will learn from my own experience and take away key points that many others may feel.

Welcome to Podcast #9 where I shed light on what it's like being a Gen Z and discuss some of the struggles that we as a generation feel, especially by society and those older than us. I want to highlight that, even if you think we are children, immature, or rebellious, you try to understand us. Our viewpoints may be different than yours, but that doesn't mean it's invalid. We are trying to make a change because we think the norm is flawed or needs to be changed. Trust in us and we will trust in you. Give us energy, and change will happen. We are pioneers. We are the future.

Welcome to Podcast #7 where I address the issues of online comments, the idea about how hate comments are becoming increasingly prevalent, and how easily it is to not get caught. Today I focus specifically on how words are dangerous and can drive someone to the brink of death or cause serious damage emotionally or physically. I hope those who are listening will be more considerate about what is said online and how it can impact others. Please be rational when you are online and don't be selfish or try to inflict harm onto others. 

Welcome to Podcast #6 where I reflect on the current situation of the world from focusing on how change is needed with police brutality and systematic racism against African Americans to talking about how the Coronavirus is being taken too lightly. These are topics that people aren't willing to accept or support because they are too privileged or they don't believe this will directly affect them. From this podcast, I hope that those who are listening will be more open-minded and ensure that their selfishness won't blind reality. By addressing these issues I hope we see change actually occur.

Welcome to Podcast #5 where I focus on the topics of entertainment, specifically the benefits of video games and streaming services. Society and parents have viewed these two as a waste of time and nonbeneficial to your health. However, these are ways for people to escape from the stresses of reality and take time to recharge and find more motivation. For those who are listening,  I hope that you find your own form of entertainment so you have the motivation and drive to reach your "Chalice of Hope".

Welcome to Podcast #4 where I rant about how harmful hate is to someone's mental and emotional state, focusing on how it clouds one's judgements and hurts their perspective in life. Although my perspective may seem subjective, I hope you learn something about me or just listen in on a different perspective on this topic. I hope by listening to this podcast, you will be able to learn and find your own "Chalice of Hope".

Welcome to Podcast #3 where I discuss the topic of love and how impactful and dangerous it can be. I dive deep into a few of my relationships and what I've learned from love. Hopefully, whoever is listening to this podcast, I wish my stories and thoughts somehow resonate with you and helps with finding your own "Chalice of Hope".

Welcome to Podcast #2 where I discuss what empathy means to me and how it has impacted me and many others. Hopefully, by listening to this episode, you will gain more motivation to reach out and listen to other people's stories.

Welcome to Podcast #1  where I dive into the topics of being alive and mental health awareness! I hope that whoever is listening will feel that sense of happiness and find their own "Chalice of Hope".
