The Luke Mind Power Podcast

Growing up, I let the opinions of others dictate who I was. If they said I was too tall, too skinny, or not enough in some way, I believed them. I was the guy who thought rejection was proof that I wasn't worthy of love or success. 

But guess what? 

What was my real issue was that mindset, not the rejections or the name-calling. And this way of thinking stuck with me until I realized that life isn't about pleasing others or fitting into their molds. 

This is the lesson I’ve learned: The most critical relationship in life is the one you have with yourself. You've got to start valuing and appreciating yourself and understand that your worth isn't determined by what others think. You need to recognize your own value and potential and stop wasting time. 

Like Jim Rohn once said, "You get paid for the value you bring, not just your time." So, if you want to succeed and make more money, focus on increasing your value rather than working more hours. 

And how exactly can you do that? 

Tune in to this week's episode and find out as I talk about increasing your value and how you can do that to start making more money.

Don't miss it!

When I started out as a coach, I was hit with a ton of doubt.

I found myself second-guessing my worth all the time, wondering if anyone would actually pay for my help. It was that pesky imposter syndrome sneaking up on me, whispering that I wasn’t good enough to live a better life.

But here's the thing – once I decided to face that fear head-on and pursue my dream, everything changed.

First, I recognized the value I could offer. Then, clients started to see it, too. Let me tell you – they were more than willing to pay for my help, and they still are.

This journey has taught me the most important lesson: if you have a gift and you’re willing to work hard, you can be unstoppable. You just need to take that leap, even when you're scared, and you’ll realize your worth through action.

This might be your sign!

If you're stuck feeling like an imposter, wondering if you're good enough, or questioning if what you love to do can actually sustain you, tune in for this episode. I’m sharing my story of taking action, despite the doubts, that might lead you to where you're meant to be.

Time is like a coin you only get to spend once. We often trick ourselves into thinking we've got an endless supply, but the truth is, we're all running on a clock that's constantly ticking down.

It's easy to get lost in the day-to-day, thinking we've got forever. But in reality, we might not even have tomorrow.

So, I have a question for you: What’s next for you? Like, when this podcast ends today? Because what we do today shapes who we are tomorrow and the day after. Let’s take this saying literally, just for a moment: You CAN do something TODAY to change your tomorrow. You CAN decide TODAY how to face the challenges life throws at you. You CAN decide TODAY to change your life for good. 

Every day is a chance to invest in ourselves, to fuel our minds with positivity, to choose the conversations that inspire us, and to decide who we want to be.

We all have things in our lives that need changing – our mindset, our habits, the people we spend time with. And if we want things to change, we’ve got to put in more effort. Playing it safe, staying quiet, and accepting mediocrity will never lead to growth or happiness.

So, let’s do a challenge: check out the full episode and then take a step. Any step. Make a choice to start changing something, anything, for the better. Your health, your financial situation, your mindset, your environment… you name it.

And if you need some help or a push on that journey, send a direct message with "2222" to me on Instagram, and we’ll see how we can help.

Tune in now as the first step towards the change you want. (I bet you’ll find some inspiration for the second one.)

"Am I happy? Truly happy?"

I asked myself this question, and the answer hit me like a freight train. It actually opened Pandora's box of realization – no, I wasn't. I was far from where I wanted to be, trapped by my own choices… or rather, the lack of them.

And I believe that was the turning point when I became painfully aware that something had to change.

During that period of my life, every morning felt like a replay of the day before – hanging out, friends, parties, drugs, alcohol... I was caught in this endless loop of comfort that felt anything but comfortable.

Deep down, I knew I was craving more – more growth, more fulfillment, and most importantly, more peace. But there was this voice that kept telling me, "Change is scary. Stay where it's safe."

Until I decided that enough was enough.

It dawned on me that if I wanted more peace in my life, I needed to make a move. And so, I left. I spent some time far away from the people I was surrounded by. I moved to Poland, spent some time in China, learned a lot, and ignited that avalanche of change inside me.

Yes, it scared me. The idea of change often does. But the scarier thought was waking up years from now, drowning in a sea of what-ifs and regrets.

So, I chose growth. And it definitely wasn't all rainbows and sunshine. Growth is messy, it's challenging, but it's so worth it! I've learned, laughed, and lived more in my pursuit of peace than I ever did before.

And you can do that, too.

Join me on this week's episode as I talk about how stepping out of your comfort zone can lead to your best life.

If you're following social media and the news these days, it may seem that everything's just falling apart in the world. But what if I told you that amidst all this chaos, there is a chance for us to grow and really make a difference?

"Yeah, right, Luke! How can I change the world when I can’t even change my own life?!" I can almost hear many of you saying this.

But, actually, you CAN change the world - that true change begins within. If we want to bring about the positivity and health we desire around us, we must first embody it ourselves. Because our reality is a reflection of what we are inside.

So, if you’re currently reflecting all the negativity that is happening in the news and social media, what would happen if you changed that? Would you project some other vibes into reality? 

Absolutely!

Because the shift in your reality doesn't start on social media or the evening news - it starts with you. Each one of us can be a beacon of change through our actions and attitudes. Even sharing a simple moment of joy can inspire others and spread happiness.

So, why would we just stand by and watch the world change in a direction we don’t want when we can be the drivers of that change?

Join me on this week's podcast, as I’m talking about how taking the initiative to be the change not only transforms our lives but also has a ripple effect on the world.

Change begins now. Let’s dive in!

Before I started my self-development journey, I was stuck in my life. And it wasn’t just because my job was awful or because I had no money or idea what to do next. It was mostly because I thought life was set in stone.

But one of the first things that I realized when I decided to become the best version of myself was that if I wanted to overcome my battles with depression, anxiety, and self-doubt, I had to start loving myself fiercely.

This simple thing became a game-changer for me and many of my clients later. Because my struggles have become an inspiration for many people to step into their power.

Take Gemma from the UK, for example. With a little nudge from yours truly, she finally found her beat again after two decades on antidepressants and decided to work on herself. 

Stories like this inspire me to persist in my mission to cut through the noise and help you see that you're more than your struggles.

Forget about fitting into the system that's keen on keeping you medicated rather than motivated. It's time to release that trapped energy and step into your true self, no holds barred.

If you're ready to ditch the life you've been told to live and let this no-filter life coach guide you to the life you're destined for, tune in to this episode.

I’m talking about my journey to success and the program you can join to start your journey towards healing and happiness.

At one point in my life, I felt like I was just going through the motions, sticking to the script everyone else wrote for me. I was literally stuck in a cycle of pleasing others, losing bits of me along the way.

If life is a book that we’re writing every day, for years, I let others hold the pen, dictating my chapters based on their expectations.

But one day, I decided to grab that pen back and start writing my own story. And once I managed to break free from that cycle, it felt like stepping into a whole new world.

I realized that being my true, authentic self was my pathway to freedom. Suddenly, I didn’t have to worry about what others would think or say about my life. Sure, turning the page on people and habits that no longer served me was scary.

But you know what's scarier? Living a life that's not yours.

By choosing authenticity, I've attracted people who vibe with the real me, not the version of me I thought I had to be. And yeah, I've lost a few along the way. But those losses were meant to happen. The people who were supposed to stay have stayed and are still in my life.

So, if you're tired of playing a role that doesn't fit, join me in this week's episode. I’m unpacking the meaning of being your true, authentic self and why it's perfectly okay to let go of those who don't get it.

Let's start writing your freedom chapter together.

"Look after your health." We all say this very often, usually thinking about a healthy lifestyle.

But really caring about health doesn’t just mean hitting the gym or eating healthy food. If you're not dealing with your past traumas and taking care of your mental, emotional, and spiritual health, all that effort is like trying to patch up a leaky boat.

Your body is like a faithful friend that's been through it all with you. It doesn’t deserve to have its needs (or overall well-being, if you will) ignored.

This means you don’t have to deprive yourself of all pleasures and never eat candy, pizza, or go for a drink or two. You should have your little 'unhealthy' joys as long as you don’t have... let's say, late-night burgers every day. And as long as you love yourself and don’t give up.

Actually, it's all about striking a balance. Simple but often not easy.

In this week’s episode, I’m diving deep into this whole idea – how to really take care of your health by balancing your life and healing from your past. I also talk about how crucial it is to take action and invest in yourself to make your dreams come true.

Join me - you don't want to miss this one!

Our minds love clinging to the past, replaying every stumble and fall. It's like we're programmed to be our own toughest critics, whispering to ourselves, “You can’t do that,” “You’re not enough to...,” “You never could...,” “Success is not for you!”... you name it.

At that point, we have two options: we can either remain trapped by our past or seize the day with the choices we make right now.

It dawned on me that I've been letting my history, heck, even my ancestors' struggles dictate my present. It's like living in a loop of fear, trauma, and doubt. Why? Because of old stories and beliefs that don't serve us anymore.

So, if you want to let go of the past, you have to take control, break the cycle, and reprogram your mind for greatness. Nobody else is going to do it for you – it's on you to wake up.

Every single person in this world is unique, brilliant, and utterly irreplaceable. And no matter what you've gone through, it doesn't define your worth or potential.

No matter where you are now, you can start taking conscious steps toward your dreams and planting seeds of greatness. Instead of letting your past define you, you can use lessons from it to build your own great, successful future.

I’m not saying it’s easy, but it's absolutely worth it!

Join me for this week's episode, and let's explore together how not to let our past define our future.

In life, we often feel like we're walking around with invisible chains. These chains are made up of what the world tells us we should be doing, how we should look, and who we should love. It's crazy how we let these expectations stop us from chasing what really lights us up inside. 

How many times have you wanted to try something new, take a leap, or just be yourself, but then thought, "Nah, what would my parents / friends / partner / people say?" That's the world defining us, holding us back from our true paths. 

But here's the thing: when we start listening to our own hearts, making choices that feel right to us instead of the noise out there, that's the real freedom. That's when we start living a real life.

Breaking free from people’s expectations and choosing paths that light us up inside, even if they’re less traveled, isn’t easy. But it’s worth it! 

Join me for this week’s episode as I’m talking about redefining success, happiness, and fulfillment for ourselves and start living life on our terms no matter what others have to say.

Because you need no one’s approval to be your true authentic self!

This week, I've got a story that's really something else, not only because I’m doing it from the lap of luxury inside a Maybach Mercedes, but also because I talked to Radin Jahromi, a successful entrepreneur in Dubai and Australia whose journey reads like a blockbuster movie script.

At just 22, Radin stepped into the real estate world, only to be smacked with some hardcore challenges right off the bat. As soon as he walked into his new job, he was met with hostility and even racism from a boss.

But he didn't let that break him. Instead, he used it as motivation to push harder, to prove himself not just to his critics but to himself. That moment literally lit a fire in him!

He moved to a competitor not just to stay in the game but to change it. Within his first few months at a new company, he sold not 10, not 20, but 34 houses in just three months. While the top dogs were proud of selling five houses a month, Radin was out there making it look easy.

He ended up with $186,000 in commissions waiting for him, money he hadn't even realized was piling up. He really proved his point and turned one bad experience into one of his biggest victories.

And he had many more after that.

If you tune in for this week's interview, you're going to hear Radin's own words about how he turned every "no" into a "yes," every setback into a setup for success. He also shared many more golden nuggets as he talked about the power of visualization, self-love, overcoming insecurities, why money isn’t the indicator of true success…

Trust me, it's a story for the ages.

Reflecting on my journey, I can say it's crazy to see how much relationships in our lives can really shape us. It's not just about who we spend our time with but recognizing their impact. 

Discovering how certain people, especially those narcissistic types, can affect our energy and self-worth was both fascinating and shocking for me. They literally drain you!

I've been there, hanging out with and even dating a few (which obviously took me some time, lol), and I’ve learned how to spot the narcissistic vibes and set boundaries. 

I realized that growing into my best self meant looking for relationships that truly reflect respect and mutual growth. 

This week, I'm diving deep into understanding how relationships influence us, recognizing those red flags, setting boundaries, and making sure the people in your circle are the kind that lift you up, not tear you down

I'll share personal stories about navigating relationships and tips that have helped me along the way. 

So, join in, and you might just discover you're dealing with a narcissist without even knowing it. It's not just about romantic partners but also friends, family, business partners, and coworkers.

When I hit up Johnny Olsen on Instagram one day back in 2019, I had no idea that it would turn into one of the most inspiring experiences of my life. Johnny welcomed me into his home, shared his world with me, and showed me what true hospitality is. 

But what really drew me in was his fascinating story. 

Johnny is a fitness coach and gym owner from Florida who faced his toughest opponent outside the gym: prostate cancer. He managed to beat the beast not just with traditional treatments or physical strength but with his most powerful weapon - his mind. 

Not only did he win that fight, but he also used it to push himself further in the fitness world. Today, his gym isn’t just a place to work out - it’s where people go to strengthen their minds, too. 

Because Johnny firmly believes that with the right mindset, you can get through anything.

In this week’s episode, he shares his story and shows that when it comes to beating the tough stuff, our brains are the strongest muscles we've got.

We talk about how he kicked cancer’s butt and how he’s helping others do the same, in and out of the gym. Johnny also shares the lessons he's learned about focus, adversity, and the true meaning of health.

Tune in to this interview for true inspiration!

Would you like to wake up every day feeling like you've hit a jackpot of happiness? Of course, we all would. But did you know that gratitude does exactly that for you? It could be described as a hidden key that opens a treasure box full of joy, peace, and happiness.

I started practicing gratitude, and it really turned my world upside down in the best way possible. Suddenly, the small stuff became more important, and the big worries didn't seem so big. 

For me, gratitude is like wearing glasses that turn every view into a beautiful scene. But it's not only seeing the good — it's also feeling it deep in your bones. Because that’s something we often take for granted and don't realize what we have until it's gone.

So, here's a little challenge: think of three things you're thankful for. (You can write them down, or if you're driving, just say them out loud.) For me, I'm thankful for this podcast, my ability to write, having clean clothes… Yes, clean clothes (and other simple stuff).

Gratitude isn't a magic pill, but if practiced sincerely, it often feels like one. It means recognizing the abundance around us and within us, even on days when everything seems to go wrong. It's a choice that can transform our lives in ways we never imagined.

So, if you're curious about how gratitude can turn your life around or if you're looking for a sign to start this journey, this is it. Tune in to this week's episode, where I dive deeper into the transformative power of gratitude. 

Let's explore together how a simple 'thank you' to the universe can change everything.

Why can relationships feel so challenging? Ever feel like making genuine connections is harder than it should be? Or feel like you don’t know what's expected from you or how to treat your partner?

These are the topics we’re unpacking in this week's podcast episode. My guest is Esther Sarphatie, an expert in relationships and personal development, and we'll dive deep into the heart of understanding between genders.

This time, we're diving into why men and women sometimes don't get each other, why respecting, trusting, and connecting with each other matters, and how personal growth helps relationships thrive.

Although we discuss other topics that are close to many of our hearts, Esther also shares her insights about gender roles in relationships that many people don’t want to hear. (Disclaimer: I’m not one of them.)

So, tune in as we talk about how men and women can better understand and connect with each other and how to treat each other respectfully and lovingly.

Have you ever been caught up in the 9 to 5 grind, where it's the same old story every day, more a trap than a career? That was exactly where I found myself with a future that just didn't seem right for my life. 

God, it was so scary to leave behind the comfort and routine of years... But then, something clicked, and I realized that the greatest rewards come from the greatest risks. (Actually, I knew that as a saying all my life, but that was the moment when I truly felt its meaning.)

In this week's episode, I talk about taking that big risk – stepping out of the comfort zone of a regular paycheck to go after what I truly desire.

It was more than just quitting the job. I felt like I was wrestling with every single 'what if' that tried to hold me back. But that’s what chasing your dreams is all about – yes, it's scary, but it's also the way to discover what you're truly capable of.

So, if you're at a turning point, tired of your day job, but worried about what leaving might bring, tune into this episode. I've walked that path, and I can tell you – life truly starts once you make that leap. 

Tune in, and you just might find the inspiration and a good reason to start chasing your dreams. Together, we can make what seems impossible, possible.

This week, I had the pleasure of chatting with Dr. Amanda Hanson, a clinical psychologist who really stands out from the crowd. I always repeat that energy is contagious - and Amanda’s energy is exactly the kind you want to catch.

Amanda started in traditional psychology but quickly saw that wasn't enough. She wanted to make a real difference, to see actual change in her clients and in her own life. What’s really unique about her approach to healing is that she believes in living the change you want to see. 

In our interview, she talks about using dance, embracing what you truly want, and finding a balance between your feminine and masculine sides as keys to unlocking true self-love and joy.

The part that hit home for me was her perspective on feminine and masculine energies. It's eye-opening, especially now when we're all trying to understand what it means to be strong and vulnerable at the same time.

We also talked about empowering women through self-love, overcoming societal pressures, and transforming personal and professional lives by being your true, authentic self.

So, if you want to break free from past traumas, societal expectations, (or both) and start living your dreams, tune in to this week's episode. Let’s learn how to live a life that truly reflects who we are and what we love. 

Catch you there!

Has it ever come to your mind that maybe, just maybe, your brain's been running a program you didn't even install? 

Here's the thing from my end: I found myself on an ice rink, doing my best not to look like Bambi on ice… And the real pros gliding around not only made skating look like a piece of cake, but they also somehow made me feel even clumsier. 

And it hit me - my fear of falling wasn't about the ice. It was about failing, looking silly, and all the stuff we've been told or thought about since forever. That’s the way most of us are programmed. 

But when I realized that, skating became more than just skating. It became my symbol of confronting those deep-seated fears, questioning where they came from, and realizing a lot of what holds us back is all in our heads. 

If you want to hear more about our mind's programming and how to unlearn it, join me for this week’s episode. I’ll be talking about facing the deep-seated fears and insecurities that hold many back from living their dream life, stepping out of comfort zones, and the role of communication in overcoming insecurities and building self-esteem.

In this episode, I've got a guest whose story could definitely change the way you see the world around you. He is Derick Grant, an ex-basketball player and the founder of the Life is Mental brand.

Derick was an athlete with dreams bigger than the court, but when he tried to turn those dreams into reality, everything fell apart. As many of us did, he hit rock bottom, not just personally but financially too. 

And he did it big time - when his business crashed, he was left in a mess so huge that even the FBI got involved. Yeah, you read that right.

But Derick didn't let this be the end of his tale. Instead, he took a hard look at his life, at the decisions that led him to where he was, and he realized that he could truly change his life only by changing his perspective. 

For the first time, it became clear to him that if he wanted to fix what was outside, he needed to transform what was inside. Through self-reflection and a hell of a lot of courage, Derick rediscovered his purpose and began an inspirational journey that he’s willing to share with us.

In this interview, Derick talks about his career, from playing with the Harlem Globetrotters to starting a basketball training company and eventually moving into coaching and motivational speaking.

We covered a bunch of topics:

- the impact of childhood experiences on adulthood

- the importance of authenticity and self-work

- the importance of self-love

- facing inner wounds

- accepting your true self

- communication in relationships

Tune in. I promise it’s worth it!

Ever felt like you're pouring your heart into a relationship and getting nothing in return? It's like you're giving everything you've got,  from love to big gifts, but it doesn't work out. 

In those moments, I asked myself, "What's wrong with me? Do I love too much?" 

But here's the thing - I've come to realize that my way of loving is not the problem. It's about finding someone who can truly love us as much as we love them.

There’s one thing we've all been tempted to do - to settle for whatever comes our way. But that's not the answer. It's crucial to hold out for someone who loves us as fiercely as we love them. 

Your self-respect and how you treat yourself set the bar for how others will treat you. The real change starts when you reclaim your identity and self-belief despite past rejections or toxic relationships that made you doubt your worth.

So, if you are ready to get out of that $h!t relationship of yours, tune in for this episode, and let's dive deeper into loving ourselves and waiting for the love we deserve.

Don't let anyone tell you you're too much or not enough. You're exactly what someone out there is looking for.

A lot of people ask me why I yell. It's not what you think. I'm not yelling at you – I'm yelling for you. It's my way of pushing you, shaking you awake to see the potential you're sitting on. 

See, I've been through it. I've felt the frustration, the pain, and the hurt, and now I want to raise your awareness. It's about confronting the comfort you've settled into, questioning what you're tolerating, what you're letting happen in your life.

I've learned, sometimes the hard way, that if I don't scream, you might not wake up to the realities you're facing. But remember, it's not personal. I might trigger you, but those triggers are blessings in disguise. 

They're your teachers, showing you parts of yourself you might not be aware of. This journey is about self-reflection, understanding why certain things trigger you, and realizing how much you actually tolerate without even knowing.

And when I get fired up, when my words get colorful, know that it comes from a place of deep love. I'm here to be authentic, to be myself, and to help you be your true self. 

So tune in this week as I talk about my story of who I am, why I speak the way I do, and also how our past experiences shape our life now because our past is what’s familiar and how we can break free to grow.

Since I started the Luke Mind Power journey of constantly learning and growing, I often think about self-sabotage and how we can be our own worst enemies without even realizing it.

It constantly happens, not only to my clients but also to me. I won’t lie - there are moments when I hit these blind spots, and I need some time to realize that I’m actually holding myself back unknowingly.

Of course, I’m in a place now where I can recognize and know how to overcome those negative thought patterns that sometimes keep me stuck somewhat quicker than my clients.

One of the things that helped me a lot was being alone with my thoughts. It made me realize that our thoughts shape our reality. Living in a state of negativity is basically living in a state of self-imposed suffering.

That's why overcoming self-sabotage starts with understanding and transforming your thoughts.

It's not just about listening to podcasts like Luke Mind Power, watching motivational videos, or pretending to be positive on the outside. It's about confronting the truth we often avoid, the hidden fears and insecurities that make us our own worst enemy.

I know it’s tough. Fighting inner demons that drain our energy and spirit is maybe the toughest part of our growth journey. Because consistent effort won’t help you much if you are avoiding or ignoring the past.

But there are people who are willing and able to help you.

So, if you're struggling with self-sabotage and want to learn more about overcoming it, join me on this week's podcast episode, as I’m talking about getting out of your own way and understanding the energetics of your thoughts and feelings.

Tune in, and let's break free from self-sabotage together!

Anger isn't always bad - it can actually be a real push to get things moving. Like your own personal alarm bell ringing, telling you to switch things up or take a leap. 

When you're mad about not getting something, it's a sign saying, "Hey, maybe there's another way to do this." It can push you to check out new paths you haven't thought of before.

Being angry also gives you a moment to pause and ask yourself critical questions like: 

- Why did I want this?

- What can I learn from this experience?

- How can I grow from here? 

This leads to growth and a deeper understanding of yourself.

So, when your plans don't work out, it could be a nudge towards something even cooler. Every rejection or closed door might just be pointing you to a path that's even better for you.

Tune into this episode where I talk about how setbacks can actually lead to the best things (especially the ones you never planned for), why you shouldn’t compare yourself with anyone and a lot more.

I believe in you. Even more than you believe in yourself right now… I know that many of you would be like, “Well, it's not hard to have more faith in me because I don’t have any.” 

Many people, even my clients, often tell me, “Oh, Luke, it's easy for you to say because you’ve achieved so much.” And I get it - I used to be in that place when every challenge seemed like an obstacle I couldn’t even think to overcome. 

But how did I reach the place where I am now? It may seem simple, but it’s true - I believed in myself and didn’t give up. And when I say I believe in you, and I really do - because I believe in myself. And because I can only give what I have.

I know that facing challenges can be tough. It’s actually like a roller-coaster ride. One moment, you're up, the next, you're plunging down. But every dip, every turn, it's all part of the journey.

So, how do you stay motivated when feeling low?

Try seeing your journey towards your goal as climbing a mountain. It can be tough, but instead of focusing only on the peak, try enjoying the hike, the view, the fresh air. It's the same with challenges. Enjoy the process while heading to your goal, and try to keep it fun.

When things get really tough, don't forget that it's perfectly okay to take a break to recharge and be kind to yourself. Like pausing your favorite movie to grab some popcorn. Just remember to hit play again.

And keep in mind that every challenge is just another chance to show the world (and yourself) what you're made of. Because you really can reach your goals, and you're worthy of them.

Join me for this episode and find out why I KNOW you can achieve your goals, how to get through whatever challenges you have and stay motivated.

Trying to push through life is like being in a thick forest where you can't see much, and everything's trying to hold you back. But you've got your dream, the big thing you're after. It's clear in your mind, guiding you and pulling you forward.

The forest you’re going through is tough. Every step forward feels like a battle. But every snag and scratch is actually teaching you something. They're making you smarter and stronger. 

You're learning how to avoid problems, to change your approach, to find new ways when your usual path doesn't work.

After a while, you reach this open space. It's warm and sunny, and it feels like a big victory. That's your goal. You didn't just find it by chance; you worked hard for every step to get there.

So, whenever things get tough, think of this forest. Every little step you take, even when it's hard, is getting you closer to your dream. So, keep moving, keep dreaming, and above all, keep believing that you can make it through. 

Because, as Bob Proctor said, if you can hold it in your head, you can hold it in your hand.

Tune in for this week’s episode as I talk about pushing forward and not giving up even if everything seems against you.

Dr. Joe Dispenza once shared something about diet that stuck with me. Sure, you can eat super healthy – go vegan, vegetarian, or whatever suits your fancy. But what we eat is just part of the health puzzle. 

Your past trauma, emotional pain, suppressed feelings bubbling under the surface - if those things aren't addressed, all the healthy eating and perfect sleeping routines can't really heal you. It's like trying to clean a wound on the surface while not treating the infection deep inside.

It's not about having a perfect diet or lifestyle. Yes, I go to the gym and eat healthy food, but I won’t lie - I love my burgers and pizzas, too! While I balance my gym routine and love for fast food, I've learned that true well-being goes beyond this. 

Being happy is healthy – for me, it's dancing and speaking, feeling that energy, growing, being surrounded by the right people, and staying positive.

So, if you're dealing with stress, trauma, toxic relationships – you name it – remember, your body feels everything and knows the truth. And you should listen to it and trust it. That's the key to transforming your life. 

Learn more about this holistic approach to health in my latest episode, where I dive into the power of self-love and emotional healing as crucial elements of a truly healthy lifestyle.

Tune in, and let’s redefine health together!

Let’s talk for a moment about my leap into social media. 

I was posting about this and that for some time until one video, where I was just dancing, started it all. Almost immediately after I hit 'upload' on TikTok – boom – things just exploded! After some time, a similar thing happened with another video of mine on Instagram. 

That one authentic moment just resonated big time. But here's the thing – it wasn't a one-off lucky shot. It was a direct result of my consistency in showing up and posting and my authenticity. 

Then I kept at it, sharing more of the real me – not just dancing, but talking about life, struggles, wins, you name it. Each post was a piece of my story, a beat of my heart. And people just got it - they saw themselves in my journey, in my unpolished, real moments. 

But don’t get me wrong, the journey wasn't always smooth. There were days I questioned if I was doing it right. But every time I shared something true, something raw, the response was undeniable. 

Being my true self not only helped me grow but also turned out to be like a magnet for people. 

Now, looking back, it's clear: Those early days of not chasing trends or likes but sharing my truth, that's what led to my social media explosion and consequently to more people who heard of me. This growth attracted more clients and fellow coaches who wanted to work with me.

So, whether it's TikTok, Instagram, or life in general, the real secret sauce is being unapologetically you. 

If you're curious about how I expanded my audience on social media and the strategies I used for making engaging content that skyrocketed my followers in no time, tune in for this week's episode.

I’ll be unpacking all of this and a lot more, including how being your true, authentic self can help you grow both in life and on social media.

Imagine you're on an old ship, deep in the belly of the lower deck. It's caught in a crazy storm, rocking and rolling with huge waves. Everything's wild, with loud winds and the ship creaking all over.

You're feeling lost, like you're being tossed around and can't do anything about it. It's like you're just a small part in this big, unstoppable thing, with no control over what's happening.

But then it crosses your mind: Why am I just staying down here? Why don't I take the steering wheel? Why am I letting what everyone else thinks and wants decide where I'm going?

And you decide to go up top: each step feels like you're saying, 'I'm doing this my way.' You get to the top, grab the wheel, and feel in control. Every turn you make isn't just changing where the ship's going; it's changing your whole future.

Sure, the storm's still raging, but now you're not just getting pushed around by it. You're in charge, steering through it all, writing your own adventure.

This metaphor is what I’m talking about in my newest podcast. It's all about taking control, writing your own story, and making 2024 your best year ever.

Hey, are you set for 2024? Want this year to be mind-blowingly awesome? Of course you do! And guess what – you definitely can make that happen because it's all in your mindset!

I hear you saying, 'Sure, easier said than done.' But here's the thing – your mindset is key. Whether you think you can or you can't achieve your goals, you're right. If you're stuck in a negative loop, thinking you can't make it, guess what? You probably won't.

But if you change your thoughts, you can achieve anything you can imagine. Literally, the sky's the limit. Instead of staring in the mirror, beating yourself up, try saying, "I am smart, strong, and capable."

But it's not just about positive thinking – you've got to act as well! Change is tough. It asks you to step out of your comfort zone, to face fears head-on. Imagine you're at a crossroads. One path is safe but dull; the other, unknown but full of potential. Which one would you choose?

If you're at a turning point, scared of the unknown, just remember: taking that leap could be the best thing you ever do.

Today, I'm super excited to share my chat with an extraordinary guest, Sabastian Enges, the CEO of Phoenix Consulting Group and a successful speaker. In this episode, we're going to take a deep dive into his unique journey.

Sabastian grew up in Seattle's Pacific Northwest, brought up by his single mom, and grew up with his little brother. He lost his mom at a young age. As the older brother, he had to take care of their modest finances.

Growing up, money was always tight. They were living just about at the poverty line, but Sabastian didn’t really feel like they were missing out on much. He didn't see many successful role models around him, but that only fueled his desire to succeed even more.

What really drives Sabastian is being an example of what's possible. He lives by the core values of truth, love, freedom, and community. He's really into the whole personal responsibility thing, convinced that it's always on us to find the way out of tough situations. 

Sabastian understands that many might not resonate with this message because it’s about stepping up and owning your actions. As he points out, most people live unconsciously, stuck in a repetitive cycle, almost like on autopilot.

So, his mission is to wake up those who are ready for it. His journey and insights are not just inspiring; they challenge us all to rethink our approach and face life head-on.

Join us for this interview as we dive into raising human consciousness, helping people become self-aware, and focusing on the truth because that is what's blocking people from their happiness. 

Plus, we'll talk about:

- why owning every part of yourself is crucial for freedom

- "conscious capitalism" – making money with social and ecological responsibility

- the importance of truth and love for feeling fulfilled

- the possibility to get into politics to bring about positive change in society

Life's pretty much like horseback riding. Sometimes, out of nowhere, you're thrown off. Suddenly, you're there on the ground, mouth full of dust, scratching your head about what just went down. One minute, everything's smooth sailing, and the next, everything's upside down. 

But here's the deal – getting thrown off isn't the end. It's actually this big chance to shake off the dust and hop right back on.

Take relationships, for instance. They need work. You've got to give time, attention, and care, like looking after a garden. If you stop, plants just wither away. It's the same with life. If you stop growing, stop trying, you kind of just stagnate.

And stagnation is not what we're here for.

The journey we're on, it's not a sprint but a marathon. It's not just about getting up; it's about keeping the momentum, growing, learning, changing. It's about looking at where you've been, the bottom, the past, and then breaking free from it.

You need direction, purpose, and, most importantly, consistency to keep pushing towards your goals.

Join me for this episode, and let’s get back up from the bottom, break free from whatever's holding you back, and start riding on.

It's been a while since we've had a guest on the podcast, but today, I'm thrilled to introduce someone truly extraordinary. Joining us is Joel Brown, a successful coach and founder of  'Addicted to Success.' 

Picture this: Joel and his wife, full of excitement, counting down the days to meet their little girl. But life, in its unpredictable way, threw them a curveball. Two weeks before her arrival, they faced an unimaginable loss.

In this week’s episode, Joel shares this deeply personal story. It's a story that's not just about the pain of loss but also a powerful tale of love, faith, the unbreakable human spirit, and the power of not giving in to despair.

He talks about how his faith was a pillar of support during these tough times. And his openness about grief and healing offers hope and inspiration. 

If you’ve ever been in a tough spot or faced a loss that shook your world, you'll find a kindred spirit in Joel's story. 

So, join us for this interview with Joel, and you'll discover the incredible strength that lies within us all, even in our toughest moments.

Feeling full of doubt can often be the biggest barrier to change. Yeah, we all hit that spot sometimes. Doubts sneak in, and suddenly, we're like, "Can I really do this?" It’s like standing at the edge of a cliff, unsure if we should take the leap. 

But what if I told you that the key to overcoming this doubt lies in something as simple, yet powerful, as consistency?

I think of consistency like a superpower, maybe not flashy, but it gets the job done. It's like planting a seed and nurturing it every day, not knowing when it will bloom but having faith that it will. 

Consistency isn't about instant gratification; it's a slow burn, a journey of faith and patience. Each consistent step you take towards your goals, even when results aren't immediately visible, adds up over time, creating a compound effect. 

This journey teaches you resilience and builds confidence, transforming you from within. Like a caterpillar into a butterfly, your consistent actions lead to an extraordinary transformation, unlocking the best version of yourself.

In this week’s episode, I dive right into how those small, everyday things you do stack up over time. Like going to the gym, for example – you might not see muscles right away, but they’re growing.

Because being consistent isn’t just about ticking off goals. It's more like a journey where you learn a bunch about yourself, build up your confidence, and figure out what you’re really about. 

Join me as I break down how to make consistency work for you and how little steps can lead to big leaps, turning your everyday into something extraordinary.

Have you ever felt like you're just not enough? This feeling, believe it or not, often stems from our childhood. It’s all about the love we did or didn’t get – from our parents, friends, siblings.

Think about those times when attention, nurturing, and even simple conversations were rare. And how often were you told, “Be quiet. Speak only when you're spoken to”? It's like we were packed into an invisible box and told to stay there, silent.

This absence of love and voice leaves us feeling insecure. We end up craving validation from others, almost like a seal of approval that says, 'Yes, you’re good enough!' It's as if every 'thanks' or 'good job' from someone else is a tiny band-aid on a much deeper wound.

But here’s the catch – true transformation starts with looking back at your childhood. It's hard but necessary.

In one of the previous episodes, I said, 'You're an adult, but inside, you might still be that child.' Yes, we grow up, our bodies get bigger, but what about our emotions, our confidence, our inner power? If these don't mature, we're just grown-ups with unhealed childhood scars.

Ignoring our past, thinking it's just 'the past,' doesn’t cut it. It's there, in your head, living rent-free. To truly move forward, you need to face it, show it some love. When you start to love yourself, really fight for it, that’s when the healing starts.

So, are you ready to step out of that invisible box?

Join me in this week’s episode, where I'll explore how healing from within helps you live in greatness, not fear. Let’s unpack those childhood boxes together and find our true selves.

It’s going to be a journey, but trust me – it’s one worth taking.

Let’s dive in!

Thinking of giving up? Trust me, I've been in your shoes. Once, while prepping for my first major event, I was swamped with self-doubt. The whole thing was overwhelming, making me question if it was too much for me.

This event was my big break, yet my fear of public speaking was holding me back. I kept imagining just packing up and going home. The thought of giving up seemed so much easier than facing my fears.

Because it was a massive leap out of my comfort zone. I had to organize, coordinate, and speak in front of a large audience. Quitting was an easy option. But guess what? I pushed through.

In those moments of doubt, I remembered why I started. It wasn't just about hosting an event, but proving to myself that I could push past my fears and succeed. Not because of what others expected, but for my own growth and satisfaction. 

And you know what? The event turned out to be a huge success. It wasn't just the applause or the positive feedback; it was my inner victory over my fears and coming out stronger on the other side.

This experience taught me a valuable lesson: the toughest battles often lead to the greatest victories. So, if you're feeling like giving up, this episode is for you.

I share my journey of self-discovery, the power of a positive mindset, and the importance of being consistent in your actions. I also talk about how real growth often requires sacrifices and pushing past your limits to achieve something incredible.

Tune in, and let’s find the power within you together.

This could be your moment to shine.

Imagine you're at the grocery store, checking out a batch of mixed berries - raspberries, strawberries, blackberries, and blueberries. There's one raspberry starting to spoil, and it’s affecting the others. 

This is a lot like our lives. Just like one bad fruit can spoil the rest, the people and environments we surround ourselves with can impact us in similar ways.

I was actually picking through these berries before this podcast, and it struck me how this is a perfect analogy for our lives. When one piece of fruit goes bad, it can spread to others, just like negativity or toxicity in one part of our life can spread to others. It's contagious. 

And even though some fruits might look good, they can be tainted by the bad ones they're close to. This is why it's crucial to be mindful of who we surround ourselves with. You might think someone is a good influence, but who are they hanging around with? Their negativity can infect them and, in turn, affect you. 

While picking the berries, I was careful not to choose ones too close to the spoiled ones. It's the same in life. Surround yourself with greatness, positivity, and inspiration, and be mindful of their circles, too, because it can impact you.

One thing that also matters a lot is being clear-headed and peaceful inside. Peace of mind isn't just something nice to have - it's something we should actively seek. It's key to making good choices in life and getting away from bad situations and people. 

It's a deliberate choice to look after our mental and emotional health. I always talk about being in charge of your own life and that we're not just shaped by our past, but we're also in charge of building our future. 

So, this episode is like a wake-up call for you to think about your choices and start healing your toxic past. Let's grow towards a peaceful future together. 

Tune in, and let me help you find that strength inside you.

This is a choice you'll be glad you made.

Have you ever put your trust in someone only to have both your trust and money broken? That's exactly what happened to me. 

Before I started my coaching business, I went through a really tough time from June to December 2020. I trusted a mentor with over $100,000 to help launch my business and ended up completely scammed.

This betrayal hit me hard, both in pride and pocket. I believed I was finally on the path to realizing my dream, and suddenly, I found myself back at the starting point, with way less in my bank account.

But looking back, I realize it wasn't all for nothing - that's precisely where my true growth began. It was a serious life lesson I’m thankful for because it completely changed my understanding of trust and self-reliance. It was about trusting my own instincts rather than relying solely on others’ guidance.

And that's what this episode's all about. It's more than just a story of getting scammed - it's about rising from the lowest points, learning to trust your gut, and turning a big betrayal into your biggest win. 

I also talk about the importance of repetition in mastering skills, investing in ourselves to achieve personal growth, and why you need to do what’s uncomfortable before you live your dreams.

So, if you've ever felt cheated or hit rock bottom, this one's definitely for you.

A question I often get from my followers is, 'Why do I keep attracting toxic people?' That's a great place to start this week’s episode.

If you're wondering why you constantly end up in toxic relationships - the kind that are negative, manipulative, and unhealthy - you'll want to stick around.

This time, I'll share a simple yet brutal truth about constantly finding yourself surrounded by toxicity. It's not just about romantic relationships; this can happen with anyone in your life - family, friends, coworkers - who treat you badly.

But the core reason is always the same - it’s because you're toxic yourself! 

People often get shocked when I say this, asking, 'How can you say I'm toxic?' 

Yes, I can! Because I used to be a magnet for toxic people. So I know you’re toxic, just as I was. And in this episode, I’m going to show you what makes you toxic.

I hope this will open your eyes to become more confident and self-aware about what's healthy for you and what makes you feel valued and powerful. 

Because you don't need to fix others. It's not your job. Just be your authentic self and walk away if you're not treated right.

Join me to discover how you might be unknowingly sabotaging your growth and keeping yourself stuck as I unpack the harsh reality of toxic relationships. Let this episode be your first step towards change and growth!

P.S. Sure, even as you grow, you might still attract unhealthy people. But the key is noticing the red flags to avoid repeating the past. And I can help you with that.

Ever looked in the mirror and asked yourself, 'Who am I, really?' That question started my incredible journey towards self-discovery, transformation, and confronting some hard truths.

Picture this: standing at a crossroads, every direction unknown. That's where I found myself, lost in repetitive patterns, questioning if there was more to life.

But then, I had a wake-up call. I realized that I was living life on autopilot, trapped in a cycle of negative habits and self-doubt. I decided to take control, to discover who I truly am and what I'm capable of.

This journey hasn't been easy. But it's been the most rewarding experience in my life.

In this episode, I dive deep into my story of transformation, from overcoming addictions to finding my true purpose. I share how breaking free from the chains of society's and family's expectations led me to a new world I never knew existed.

During this adventure, I learned a lot about myself, including life-changing experiences like my time in Chicago with my cousin in 2019, which helped shape my new path.

My story is raw and real, and I believe it can help you on your own journey of self-discovery.

You don't need special qualifications to overcome your pain. What you really need is a wake-up call, strong belief in yourself, and deep love for who you are. 

Often, we look for answers in the wrong places, thinking they lie outside of us. But in reality, they're actually deep within us. 

Seeking medical help, many are told they're depressed and need medication. This approach often overlooks the power of changing one’s environment or finding inspiration in other ways. If you repeat the same patterns, you'll likely feel the same. Change means breaking these cycles. 

Many of us have faced hardships - trauma, abuse, and other deeply painful experiences. And I don’t doubt professionals genuinely want to help with their advice. However, they have never walked in our shoes - so I don’t think they can fully understand us and how to heal our minds.

I've seen many clients who've been through years of therapy or medication, yet they find real, tangible change when they start learning to love themselves and by removing themselves from toxic environments.

It's about listening, taking action, and committing to change. Because things only change when you decide to change them.

I learned this the hard way. But I also learned one of the most significant lessons - that we have the power to change other people’s lives, inspire, and help them. However, to help others, you need to help yourself first. 

Recognize your power to change, to make decisions, to show up for yourself. That’s something society doesn’t teach us. It’s because the system is often flawed and doesn't necessarily want you to succeed. If it did, schools would teach you how to be truly successful.

For instance, we’re often sold a narrative focused on financial security, like saving for retirement, as it's all that matters. Get a job, save for your retirement, and that's your life sorted. 

But look at the great speaker, coach, and mentor Bob Proctor. He lived doing what he loved until his last days. That’s what they don’t teach us - to find happiness in what you do, not just waiting for retirement. 

This raises an essential question: What is your life's work? What are you passionate about? It's crucial to find and follow your passion.

Listen to this week's episode where I'll talk about how outside inspiration can spark your inner change and shape your path to success. I'll also talk about finding work you love, so retirement isn’t your end goal, but a continuation of a fulfilling life.

Key Takeaways:

• Are you growing or staying stagnant? (00:00)
• Retirement is like preparation for death (01:44)
• You're better than this (05:04)
• We need faith because we lack patience (08:02)

• You are enough (19:53)
