22. It’s Not too Late to Have What You Always Wanted

22. It’s Not too Late to Have What You Always Wanted

Today let’s talk about the things we’ve always wanted to do, the dreams deferred and feeling like the journey may not lead you back there. It absolutely can. I’m sharing my wins from the past couple weeks since the book launch and how I manifested nearly everything that has happened. From #1 New Release, Best Seller, over 40 reviews, two tv shows etc. It truly all began with belief, speaking it over and over and then journaling out as if it were already so. Thanks to Rachel Luna teaching us her Faith Activated Journaling method in episode 21 because that’s what I’ve been using to manifest these things. It’s been very rewarding and only the beginning but that doesn’t mean I don’t still face doubt. In this episode I wanted to share with you a few quotes I found that resonated with me. Like the one from Morgan Harper Nichols that says, “You belong on this journey as much as anyone else.” This is why we must not get lost in comparison but instead own our journeys for what they are for us. I hope you find inspiration in today’s episode.

Whitney West became a Chronic Illness Advocate after being diagnosed with a rare condition in 2014 that nearly took her life and left her in debt. She has since been on a journey to live the life she desires, eliminating her debt and refusing to allow her illness to stop her to achieve any goals she has.

14. The Full Throttle Approach, In Honor of Allen "AP" Powell

14. The Full Throttle Approach, In Honor of Allen "AP" Powell

In this solo episode I wanted to take space and time to honor my little brother, Allen "AP" Powell who passed away four years ago today, very unexpectedly and tragically. Since then I have referred to his approach to life and everything he did as, 'full throttle" and his life has inspired me to adapt that approach for myself. Full Throttle is defined as being done with great speed and enthusiasm. For me full throttle also means being locked in, going all in, being committed, taking risks and giving maximum effort. Looking eye to eye with fear and doing the thing anyway, is the full throttle approach and the Allen Powell way. I've had a lot of anxiety leading up to this point, so in order to turn a usually dark day into one of peace and joy I have broken down how to shift into a full throttle mindset and gave clear examples how I've done that in my own life, including with this podcast. I hope you can draw inspiration from this episode as well. Connect with me more on Instagram.

13. Growing an Intentional and Present Life with Plants w/ Chloe Beach

13. Growing an Intentional and Present Life with Plants w/ Chloe Beach

Chloe Beach of PlantsbyChlo.com came on the show and gave very useful tips on entering a plant journey with ease an lessening the overwhelm but then she went much deeper. Chloe took us on her self-discovery and spirituality journey and the connection her plant journey has had in that. Growing up around plants it makes sense that as Chloe began to build a life with her now fiancé she's naturally start welcoming green life into their home. What Chloe didn't expect is that her plant journey would lead her to digging into her own ancestral roots as well as unraveling and working through trauma. She could not have foreseen how it would not only strengthen her life but truly change her life.  My favorite quotes from this conversation with Chloe are: "God is always talking, its whether or not you're listening and paying attention." "Being present is a luxury and having plants allows you to live in that luxury a little more often." Find the show notes at www.tinitatennant.com/13 Connect with Chloe on Instagram and her website

12. Quieting Your Inner critic

With Dr. D (Maria Dominguez, Phd, LMFT) I get in the hot seat as we work through some scenarios where our inner critic disrupts our thought process and needs to be quieted. Dr. D gives a break down of her N.I.C.E approach to quieting your inner critic and a deep dive into developing "nurturing self-talk" in its place. With 15 years in the field, Dr. D has developed a practice focused on cultivating resilience and using it as a tool of empowerment, within each client, to guide them in transforming their own mindsets, emotions, and relationships.

10. What happened? Season 1 Finale

It's been over a year and a very difficult time in my life but I'm back. However, I couldn't just kick things back off without sharing what happened to me and why the podcast just suddenly fell off. Why? Because I value you all and this podcast is important to me. Also, this is part of my story and journey, as well as the journey of this podcast so I won't shy away from addressing it. Hard? Yes. Embarrassing? It was but that's also why I needed to do this because I don't want anyone else to feel embarrassed or the need to hide their struggles. We all have them. So here it is. Catch y'all in Season 2 (spoiler).

9. When To Adjust

9. When To Adjust

This week we're talking about adjusting. Not necessarily adjusting to new environments and such but more so when to initiate an adjustment and change in your life. e.g. marriage, parenting style, business start-up, program/organization, etc. At points of needing to scale back, it is not an indication of failure or defeat. Those things could be the very thing to save your business, project or situation and help move you to the next level. Follow on IG @onthisjourneypodcast Let's keep the conversation going.

8. Kicking Comparison to the Curb

8. Kicking Comparison to the Curb

We all know that comparison does not serve us well. Comparison only leads us to negative thoughts about who we are and where we're currently at in life. Yet, somehow we all at some point find ourselves comparing, getting down on ourselves and struggling. This has been a hard hurdle for me to get over but I'm learning that practicing self-love, gratitude, strengthening our confidence, and celebrating others as well as ourselves are ways to begin to kick comparison to the curb.

7. Do The Thing

On this episode we continue with the "Pursuing Your Passion" topic, and add sub-topic, "Do the Thing". The thing is whatever you feel passionate about, you have a strong interest in, you can't stop thinking about, dreaming about, you feel it tugging on you, etc. We don't need permission, but we do need to remove the mental road blocks that try to deterr us from fulfilling our call. It is our birth right and our responsibility to nurture the gifts placed inside of us and share them with the world.
