Seeing the Value in What Sets Us Apart | Why Develop the Skill to Build Connections on Differences? Many of us learned at a young age to be wary of what and whom, was different. While the differences that we were cautioned about will differ based on our lived experiences, the outcome is the same. We've learned to fear what is foreign to us. Which often translates as fearing what stands to contradict, or place a spotlight, on some of the limiting beliefs we carry. Our beliefs are the gateway to our potential. Whether we're talking about our beliefs about ourselves or our beliefs about the people around us - learning to be comfortable with difference, enables you to dissect the differences between our beliefs and those of others, making the required shift and changes that enable our personal grown and evolution. While many market the value of difference as being great for others - I'm here to explain how valuing difference is actually beneficial for you. Any questions?

Learning to Quiet Intrusive Thoughts | How to Reclaim Power Knowing that You are Not Your Thoughts Maybe people don't recognize the distance that exists between them and the thoughts they entertain. We judge and criticize ourselves for thoughts that we know are not welcomed. Truth is, unless we're consciously following a stream of thinking, thoughts reserve the right to just pop into our heads. Exercising our will is required to determine which thoughts we entertain, and which thoughts we dismiss. If the thought does not serve you - you have the ability to dismiss it. You can create different strategies that enable you to retrain your mind to focus and attract thoughts that enable you, and empower you, while doing away with the thoughts that torment you and cripple you.

The Power of Kindness in Attracting the Energy You Want & Counting the Energy that Doesn't Serve You Energy Management requires you to tap in the energy that serves you best. Rarely has anyone successfully navigated through life operating through a fear-based model, because we attract the energy we focus on. Which means we need to discipline ourselves to focus on what we want, rather than ruminate and dwell on what we don't. This includes people, places, situations, and circumstances - those that serve us and those that don't. Oftentimes we've conditioned ourselves to approach life defensively. Whether that's taking on a persona to avoid getting hurt, or setting the tone to avoid being targeted, our behaviour is centred on ensuring the outcomes we don't want, don't manifest. Here's another option. Focus on showing up authentically. Give yourself the opportunity to show yourself, that you can push through what life throws at you, without the bravado and without feeling prepared. Allowing life to surprise you, gives you an opportunity to surprise yourself. Oftentimes when we give ourselves the opportunity to rise to the occasion, we tap into personal power we didn't know we had. Any questions?

What to do When Feeling Intimidated? | Dos & Don'ts that Maintain Alignment With Your Highest Self What's the best way to respond to intimidation? Rise. Rise to the occasion.Whether it's an exciting new opportunity, a new hobby or activity that you're curious about, or whether it's your (un)friendly neighbourhood bully, intimidation is the feeling that is calling you to step up.What does it mean to step up?Different strokes for different people, places, situations, and circumstances - but always a response that serves you and is in alignment with your highest self.What scares you is often what propels you forward in ways you couldn't imagine, what seeks to intimidate you is often a call to action that enables your growth - and the growth of the individual or individuals who are drunk on their own (false) sense of superiority.In all cases, respond with courage, with boldness, harnessing the belief that whatever happens when you respond in alignment with your values and convictions, is exactly what is supposed to be taking place.You have it within you to rise above, and to rise to the occasion.

Developing the Courage to Speak Up | Leveraging Your Voice on Concerns & Issues that Matter to You Many of us shut ourselves down before anyone else has the opportunity to criticize us. We are in effect, our own worse critic and discount the contribution we stand to make on conversations that require a diversity of perspectives. There are many global issues take place that require all of us to stand up for what we think is fair, regardless of how inconvenient it is for those who'd rather not defend themselves or justify their actions. We need to speak up, because it is often the case that silence enables violence of all forms. Whether we're talking about discrimination, prejudice, social injustice, and worse - our opinions are best suited for the public arena. Even if we do not have points, we can vocalize our questions. Recognize that are actions and inactions are continuously writing pages in history, let's not be the reason why history repeats itself. Any questions?

Why Protecting Your Feelings Enables Authenticity | How Objectivity of Care Creates Healthy Distance Not caring is a form of self-care.To be specific, not giving everyone and the opinions they have, equal care and consideration is a key skill to enable you to preserve your mental health.In a world where cancel culture reigns supreme, it is difficult to deny the power of a word, belief, or opinion's impact on you and on the perceptions that people carry of you. Only the former of those two effects do you have control over.We always get to choose how and when someone else's words impact us. Part of enabling ourselves to develop the courage to show up fearlessly, is recognizing that we are beyond the words that people choose to describe us with. More importantly than that, is cultivating the wherewithal to decide who's words have the privilege to inform your identity and who's words carry no value at all.If you consider yourself sensitive, or would like to enable yourself to bring those walls down and enable your sensitivity, developing objectivity of care is the tool you never knew you needed.

Focusing on Being Comfortable in Your Own Skin & Disregarding the Projections of Shame from Others A tell-tale sign that someone is operating from a place of shame? It's blame. Or, more often, the assumptions, criticisms and judgments that people feel inclined to place on you. When they say that what people have to say about you, gives you more insight into their inner world - that's not an exaggeration. In fact, it's another way to call out the projections that we often call opinions, beliefs, and points of view. Projections of our own sense of inadequacy, shame, and lack of self-efficacy. So, for those of us who have done the hard work to heal, to cultivate acceptance for the things that took place that were beyond our realm of control, and accountability what was -- who we allow ourselves to become as a byproduct of those people, places, and circumstance. Don't take it personal. Set the record straight, and align yourself with those who choose to exercise grace, in the ways that they describe you. Any questions?

How to Be Unapologetic about Taking Time to Rest | How Rejuvenation Enables You to Develop Endurance There are many things in life that we can feel guilty for... take the time to rest shouldn't be one of them. Many of us feel flawed for the fact that we are human. Specifically, that our need to rest, eat well, and sleep adequately is somehow a flaw in our design that limits our ability to produce, to push, and to accomplish. Little did we know that by making rest part of the overall plan, we maximize our capacity to produce, deepen those endurance reserves to push, and are much more likely to be, and to become, everything that we put on our vision board for this year. Rest makes our dreams realistic. Give yourself the (much needed) time out, and see how much more you have to give, when your reserves are not empty. Any questions?

4 Scenarios When No Response is the Best Response | How to Leverage Silence as a Communication Tool Many of us have lived the experience of pouring our hearts out, and having what we had to say fall on deaf ears. What we recall from those experiences is that silence speaks volumes. So, if we have experienced first had the power of silence, why do we struggle to recognize the power that silence has, as an effective way to communicate? Not every remark, comments, or point-of-view is worth our time, energy, and attention. Many of us respond regardless, because we allow our desired to be likeable and seen as amenable, to supersede our desire to be mindful and effective in where we put our time and energy. It's important to know that silence sends a very clear message. More often than not, it sends the message that your words can fall short in articulating.

3 Strategies to Maximize Your Success in Delivering A Message that Matters | Learning to Communicate Many of us take communicating seriously when we have something to say, whether moved by conviction or principle, we think what we say matters, and we assume that the person we are addressing feels the same.Except in most cases they don't.All of us carry our own set of principles and values, with their own share of complications and contradictions.While great minds might think alike, no two minds are alike. The sooner we realize that communicating means putting ourselves in the shoes of our audience, and assuming their position when drafting those messages in our minds, the sooner we can develop the skill to communicate a lesson and find ourselves being heard.

When you are faced with judgments, assumptions, and the self-interested conclusions of others, you have a choice. To allow those views to define you or to dismiss them. While we often assume that this kind of criticism is reserved for the trolls of the internet, they're often disguised as friends, family, and acquaintances who believe they have you pegged. In that they only expect of you, or value you, in alignment to the box they have placed you in.

Being Yourself Requires No Apology | Celebrating Your Individuality & Not Hiding Behind Conformity Some of us cannot help but stand out. While most people immediately assume that it's our physical traits that can be what puts us in our spotlight, it's often less tangible than that. It could be your mannerisms, the things you say, the way you say them, or your energy. You might be the kind of person that draws attention in, and that keeps you from blending in. Many of us shirk away from this undesired attention, but it's yours - you drew it in. While you will find those who treat you with contempt for what you attract effortlessly, that they themselves work so hard to attain - make no apologies. In 2024, let's make a point to celebrate our individuality. Let's be the game changers that encourage others to do the same. Any questions?

4 Kinds of Pain You Stay Away From | Understanding When to Release Negativity that Doesn't Serve You If there is one thing in this life that is not created equal, it is what our receptivity to pain should be. There is pain that a we can endure, that serves as a signal to our growth, these are the "growing" pains. Just as much as there is pain that serves as a signal to let go - they point to the people, places, and circumstances that we are better off leaving behind in 2024. It's important to recognize when discomfort or suffering is harming you and not helping you. Healing and hurting are both equally painful, but the former gives you an opportunity to discover yourself, find strength, find purpose, and find peace. The latter introduces cycles of torment and toxic patterns that we will each find we are better off without. So as you think on how you want this new year to begin... let pain be your guide. #mentalhealth #levelup #Boundaries0:00 - 2:30 - Intro 2:30 - 11:11 4 Types of Pain to Avoid 11:11 - Wrap Up Any questions?

3 Types of Pain You Need to Learn to Push Through | Understanding the Cost of Growth & Levelling Up Growth requires sacrifice. If you're setting goals and objectives that are going to align you to your dreams, expect life to dole out a healthy dose of pain. When it comes to levelling up, there is a maxim that holds true universally: No pain, no gain. It's important to distinguish between healthy pain and toxic pain. Pain is something that we feel in all aspects of our being, whether it's physical, mental, or emotional it's important to develop an awareness of the kind of pain that means to push forward, or the pain that means slow down and pull back. Developing this self-awareness will help you navigate the challenges, difficulties, and tests that growth will demand of you. When you master your understanding of your own pain, you give yourself the foundation to become an unstoppable force. #mentalhealth #levelup #nopainnogain0:00 - 2:30 - Intro 2:30 - 14:11 3 Types of Pain to Embrace 14:11 - Wrap Up Any questions?

How to Push Passed Your Limits & Overcome Barriers |Trusting in Mind Over Matter Helps You Level Up Many of us have heard the saying, "Know Your Limits & Play Within It."While that is definitely an important rule of thumb when it comes to gambling 😜 It is less applicable to the limits we experience when pushing towards achievement in life. Why?Because most limits are simply the confines of our comfort zone. There comes a time where growth requires you to break through those barriers, and adjust to a new normal. In these cases, recognize your current limits as a personal challenge inviting you to grow, to expand, and to experience life, differently.Limitations are life's way of indicating to you that the next thing you want in life will require a little bit of effort, a little dash of focus, and just a smidge of conviction to attain it. It's an invitation we all should strongly consider taking. #mentalhealth #limits #breakingbarriers 0:00 - 2:30 - Intro 2:30 - 13:11 Pushing Through Barriers 13:11 - Wrap Up Any questions?

Assumptions are Toxic for Relationships | How False Assumptions Hurt Our Ability to Connect & Relate While our ability to make decisions on our feet speaks to the sheer horsepower that our brains harness... we don't always get it right. This is highlighted by the (many) times we had to take our foot out of our mouths, or we found ourselves knee deep in the consequences that our false assumptions created. Sometimes it's the conclusions we jump to, and the way we handle our reactions and our behaviours to those beliefs, that end up leaving irreparable damage to the people, places and situations that we care about. So while creating action on an assumption seems... inviting, resist the urge. Make a conscious choice to reserve judgment and to check and verify facts and conclusions before acting on information that could be entirely false, and also completely damaging. The people under consideration will appreciate the mindfulness, and the added intention serves to preserve and safeguard the relationships we hold close to heart. Any questions?

Differences Between Learning & Performing | Aligning Your Energy to the Expectations of Each Setting Everything we know, we've had the opportunity to learn. Whether it was through formal education, life experience, a family member, or a mentor, not any one of us was born with a repertoire of knowledge beyond what instinct preprogrammed. Regardless, so many of us feel insecure about our ignorance when we enter new settings and new environments. This is largely because we recognize the unspoken expectation of performance. We are also cognizant of the gap. A significant and meaningful gap in what we know, and how that lack of insight can considerably hinder our ability to perform. Rather than focus on learning the fundamentals, we allow ourselves to ruminate and bask in insecurity for the mere fact that the gap exists. Each of one us is able to perform, so long as we are clear on what learnings feed into performance within that context. So rather than focus on what we don't know, focus on how quickly we can learn it, in order to hit the ground running, and exceed beyond anyone's expectations. Any questions?

4 Common Wellness Myths You Shouldn't Believe | Why there is No Prescription for Living & Being Well Wanting to live better and do better seems like a given. While the motivation can ebb and flow, most of us see the value in making the most out of the lives we lead. Oftentimes we think if we can model after people who seem happy with their lives, it increases our chances of finding happiness ourselves. In truth, there is no prescription for happiness. There is no one size fits all when it comes to living a life of meaning and fulfillment That's because we are each different. What any given person needs to ensure a high quality of life, is not going to translate across the board. For this reason, self-discovery is paramount. If you want to get a sense of what wellness looks like for you, go inwards, pay attention, focus on what feels good, and what IS good for you - regardless of what outside opinions or the majority rules has to say on the subject. Wellness is not a cookie cutter template from which we can copy and paste. To attain wellness in life, be prepared to put in the focus, the discipline, the motivation and the work to train yourself to live a life you know is best for you. Any questions?

How to Deal with a Cruel Partner | Learning to Support Yourself and Not Internalize Toxic Narratives There are some emotional injuries we would not wish on anyone. Many of these wounds are dealt to us by the people that we chose to try and create relationships with. When your person sees your vulnerability as an opportunity to spotlight all that you aren't rather than focalize on who you are in an attempt to make you feel small - is cruelty. Or, if they are so bold as to choose to subject you to harsh, cruel and unusual punishment by withholding basic resources (i.e. food, shelter, etc.) when they have the means to provide, but to drive their point home they blindside you and leave you no time to make alternate arrangements or plans to support yourself? This is the kind of individual who feeds off cruelty. Whether it's to validate themselves of their superiority over you, or because they find personal pleasure in making you suffer, these are the relationships that help us recognize to what extent someone's behaviour is truly about themselves, and not you. Anyone who takes every opportunity to kick you down, as you're still trying to get back up, is the kind of person who operates from a place of malice. Misery loves company, so it's the kind of company we are all better off without. Any questions?

Four Things NOT to Do When You're Feeling Anxious | Breaking Unhealthy Habits in Dealing with Stress There are some ways of managing anxiety that we know, even as we engage in those behaviours, that are not good for us. Yet because these coping mechanisms are familiar and habitual... there's no real urgency to change the ways we respond to the stressors in our lives. At least so it seems. When it comes to our health, no one should be expected to be more concerned than we are. Each of us sets the precedent by way of how concerned those who care about us should be, when it comes to our mental health. So let's make feeling good, and doing well a priority. These are not states that just happen to us, they are a product of choice, intention, and mindfulness. Making the effort to live our best even when life is handing us blows. So make the choice to find the mechanisms that enable you to push through and to push forward. #mentalhealth #strategies #anxiety 0:00 - 2:30 - Intro 2:30 - 13:52 5 Ways NOT to Cope with Anxiety & Stress 13:52 - Wrap Up Any questions?

From the perspective of maintaining mental health, it means supporting our needs through each stage and phase that we go through, as we grow and evolve. So, if your current strategies are maladaptive at best, here are some tried and true examples that can lend support. #mentalhealth #strategies #anxiety 0:00 - 2:30 - Intro 2:30 - 16:05 5 Ways to Cope with Anxiety & Stress 16:05 - Wrap Up Any questions?

Your Life Decisions Won't Get Any Easier | Learn to Develop the Mental Muscle to Choose in Alignment Many people equate living your best life as chasing the highs that the world offers, this isn't my definition. Living your best life requires that you make the tough choices, when life calls you to choose to stay in alignment with your own wants, beliefs, and desires. Choosing alignment means choosing sacrifice, difficulty, ridicule, and oftentimes scorn. That's because staying aligned is unconventional and will often require you to make sacrifices that most people have yet developed the courage to make. Whether that involves cutting away from the people, places, and circumstances that have become your comfort zone, or taking a leap of faith that forces people to acknowledge you in a different light. While many people assuming aligning to your potential and purpose is for the hippies who make kombucha tea for fun, those of us who make it a lifestyle recognize how inaccurate this mental picture is. In all cases, the greatness lying dormant within each of us, lies in making the tough calls. Learn the significance through trial by fire and make those calls, regardless. #education #mentalmuscle #choices #decisionmaking Any questions?

Learning How You Think to Improve How You Learn | Deciding How New Information Impacts Your Beliefs There is a high bid for your thoughts, beliefs and desires. More specifically, a high price that many people, corporations, government, and academic institutions will pay to ensure that your beliefs align with their agenda. While some of us carry the power to influence and sway the masses, most of us simply don't put too much weight, or emphasis, on the significance of what we believe. Many of us align to the majority without first filtering the messaging through the lens of our values, ethics, and sense of personal convictions. An alternative strategy is to give yourself the tools to think critically about all that you interact with, and be mindful and intentional when you assume your position on a topic. You'll only start to realize to what extent your voice has value, when you invest enough in understanding to make your opinion count. Any questions?

How Frenemies Could Be Bad for Your Health | Why the Ambivalent Relationships in Your Life are Toxic The cost of betrayal runs high. This is whether we focus on the psychological and emotional toll, or the very real exposure to physical danger it can create. In either case, there is risk inherent when you keep your (fr)enemies close. The worst way to learn this is through personal experience. Having a network of individuals who are unreliable and untrustworthy is almost as dangerous as having no one but yourself to rely on. This became exceptionally clear to me by the time I was cycled into the fourth non-disclosed centre for women escaping violence, trying to escape the men (and women) who were actively terrorizing me. If ever you find yourself targeted by predatory individuals, recognize the first thing that they assess is the quality of your relationships. If there is a weak link, they are sure to exploit it. So, be proactive and deal with the weak links in your social networks to prevent being put in extreme situations to realize why having frenemies were always bad for your health and wellbeing. #mentalwellness #frenemies #toxicrelationships Any questions?

Pleasure: Indulgence vs. Fulfillment | How Incorporating Moderation Plays Into Our Quality of Life Today we're talking about the relativity of excess. The right amount of anything is dependent on each of us. Whether we're talking about food, fitness, activity, rest - life is about figuring out how much is too much, or too little, and what works best for ourselves, specific to the phase and stage in life we're in. Even when we think we have it figured out it is subject to change, because we're changing, growing and evolving. The quality of life that we each stand to live is based on how tuned in we are to our needs, and to what extent we build lifestyles that cater to those needs. This plays into our physical, mental, emotional, and social orientations. So as we think about the year past, and think ahead on what we'd like to do differently, seek to find alignment in how you build your game plan for success. #mentalwellness #moderation #quality #lifeskills Any questions?

5 Signs You Are Healing from Trauma | Some of the Cues & Signals that You Are Bouncing Back Stronger When it comes to our mental, emotional, and psychological wounds there is no cookie cutter framework to healing. It's sometimes difficult to gauge if we are healed, or how far we've come, because of how non-linear the healing process is. Healing is a process that starts with a choice. Our choice. We do not heal by accident, or without the influence that self-love, self-growth and self-compassion procures along the journey. Healing delivers in providing us peace, acceptance and growth, when we stay the course with patience, intention, and honesty with ourselves and those around us. As we swallow the bitter truths all the while seeking clarity and learning from the people, places and circumstances we are healing from, we are becoming stronger, more resilient and more ready than ever for the highs and lows that come next in our story. #mentalhealth #healing #trusttheprocess 0:00 - 2:30 - Intro 2:30 - 16:05 5 Signs You Are Healing from Trauma 16:05 - Wrap Up Any questions?

The Importance of Listening First Before Speaking | Healthy Habits that Support Your Mental Health We're talking about the power of our voice, and the responsibility that comes with speaking up. Oftentimes we don't equate Mental Health and communication, but they are deeply intertwined. When we state our opinions, convictions and perspectives they inform the world around us of who we are, and what we believe. When we speak out of turn, without thinking, or before fully understanding the people, places, and situations we are talking about - the consequences and the backlash that comes with being held accountable can be a lot. Especially online. While I believe it's better to ask for forgiveness than to ask for permission - in all cases, it's best to reserve judgment until you have enough depth in understanding to protect your growth as you speak your truth. In a world that wants to define us by the lowest common denominator, let that not be the words we speak, or the opinions we carry. 0:00 - 2:30 - Intro 2:30 - 11:35 Listening Before Speaking 11:35 - Wrap Up Any questions?

All to say, our personal growth is often incremental and the byproduct of small, seemingly insignificant interactions over time. The changes the we experience in our beliefs, values, and ideas about the world can catch, even the most reflective of us, by surprise. #education #yearinreview #growthmindset #growth 0:00 - 2:30 - Intro 2:30 - 12:30 - How Have I Grown this Year? 12:30 - Wrap Up So how do highlight how the last few months have contributed to our evolving sense of self?

What does it mean to live off-grid? Educational talk, as we debunk the myths around self-consumption. For many of us, living off-grid translates as exiling ourselves from society and limiting our interactions with one another. Hollywood has played a major role in (mis)shaping our ideas around what it means to live off-grid, putting a negative spin on what it means to be self-sustaining by way of how we consume energy (heat, gas, electricity) for day-to-day living. #education #livingoffgrid #consumption 0:00 - 2:30 - Intro 2:30 - 14:44 - What does it mean to live off-grid? 14:44 - Wrap Up Many of us wouldn't blink twice at the thought of paying out-of-pocket indefinitely for electricity, heat, and gas. It's always been the model and it seems rather complicated and inconvenient to try a more sustainable route. That is until recently. New technologies make it more feasible (and accessible) to be self-sustaining leveraging new green energies like solar panels, wind mills, and hydro. As cities re-think their infrastructure to make space for hybrid and electric technology, it gives each of us an opportunity to rethink our consumption and decide if we would like to opt-out of the grid, and live off-grid. While there are extremes in ideology, methodology, and practice, I've discovered that there's a happy medium for each of us to discover. Ultimately, living off-grid offers more autonomy and flexibility in the ways we decide to develop our consumption consciousness and the lifestyles that those choices create. #education #livingoffgrid #consumption Any questions?

How to Celebrate Yourself Alone | The Importance of Self-Recognition In Our Successes & Achievements Today, we talk about the importance of self-validation. How to celebrate yourself without the external applause of others. It's important that we give ourselves permission to be proud of what we've accomplished, even if there's no external recognition. #mentalwellness #celebratesmallwins #success 0:00 - 2:30 - Intro 2:30 - 14:30 - How to Celebrate Yourself Alone 14:30 - Wrap Up Many of us make the mistake of magnifying our failures and minimizing our successes. If we gave our effort and energy the same focus and attention we give to others, we would recognize to what extent we were (actually) winning at life, even when no one is watching. This is especially true when we find ourselves surviving hardships, challenges, and obstacles that bring about personal growth, resilience, and life experience -- the good ol' school of the hard knocks. So whatever it is you're pushing through or have pushed through, give yourself a moment of appreciation. Even if you have no one else remember, you've got you -- and so far, you've shown up for yourself through all life has put you through. #mentalwellness #celebratesmallwins #success Any questions?

3 Powerful Benefits of Patience in Life | How a Focus on Mental Wellness Radically Increases Success In today's conversation, we're talking about 3 powerful benefits of patience in life. More specifically, how you can radically increase your success by focusing on your mental wellness and well-being. #mentalwellness #patience #success 0:00 - 2:30 - Intro 2:30 - 14:30 - 3 Powerful Benefits of Patience in Life 14:30 - Wrap Up There is a payoff to patience that makes it worth the wait. If genius emerges, it also means that excellence takes time. When it comes to the relationships, career plans, and life transitions that mean the most to us, it's important to enjoy the process. While we're waiting, we're changing. Become aware of the character development that takes place when you exercise self-control and self-restraint and allow things to evolve in due course. All the while working, watching, and waiting. If we're too focused on the destination we miss all the elements in the journey that build into the meaning and the value that the end goal provides. So, even when it hurts the most, trust and believe that what you are hoping for is worth waiting for. #mentalwellness #patience #success Any questions?

A conversation on Mental Health | Learning how to place boundaries on contrary opinions and set the standard for autonomy of choice. How to set boundaries, learning how to draw the line politely. Today we're discussing how to evaluate contrary opinions. Specifically, the opinions of those who do not agree with your decisions concerning any aspect of your life. How many of us have normalized and internalized criticism that is loud, insulting, and demanding that we reposition ourselves, accordingly? This video is a must watch 👀👀👀 #MentalHealth #boundaries #choiceautonomy0:00 - 2:30 - Intro 2:30 - 9:35 Setting the Standard for Autonomy of Choice 9:35 - Wrap Up While it's great that those who care for us want what's best for us, anyone who thinks they can make better decisions than you concerning your life, is more focused on their ability to manipulate and control outcomes to satisfy their own agenda (as well intentioned that may be). It's important to set boundaries that demand respect for our choice autonomy. While it's important to be receptive to feedback, it's equally important to expect respect when we invest in a given direction. How we live our lives is not based off of a majority rules ballot system -- the only opinion that should be driving the trajectory of your life is your own. Any questions?

Mental Health: Seeking Restoration & Healing in Nature | Recognizing that Not All Therapy is Verbal In today's conversation we're talking about how under-utilized and under-esteemed nature is, when it comes to enabling our personal healing. When it is the case that we are dealing with major life transitions, that often leave us beyond words, nature can hold us in that place.

Education: Making Informed Decisions Navigating Healthcare | Short-Term Relief vs Long-Term Effects We're talking about the need to think critically about how we position ourselves in today's culture of healthcare. More specifically, how do we ensure that we are aligning the intervention plans, rehabilitation strategies, and present healthcare costs with the long-term effects of the treatments suggested and/or prescribed. This is especially important when profits and incentives are provided when prescriptions are written, without focus on whether or not we gain a clean bill of health down the road. #education #decisionmaking #healthcare 0:00 - 2:20 - Intro 2:20 - 12:20 - Understanding the implications of choice in healthcare 12:20 - Wrap Up While seeking instant relief is understandable, many of us exchange the short-term benefits will little thought to the long-term effects of said relief. One choice can lead to years of doctor's visits, prescription refills, emotional turmoil with no solution in sight. So it's important to recognize that when it comes to making the healthy choices that impact our quality of life, to recognize that often choosing the slow and steady route is the most sustainable long-term. We may live in a microwave society, but turns out that's never been the best strategy or approach to maintaining our health and well-being. #education #decisionmaking #healthcare Any questions?

#education #assumptions #culturaldifferences 0:00 - 2:20 - Intro 2:20 - 9:20 - Keep Your Assumptions on a Leash 9:20 - Wrap Up Hello Everyone, I hope all is well. Welcome to our segment on Education, this week ☺️ We're talking about how much you stand to learn, when you recognize the limits that culture places on your reality. As someone who has travelled quite a bit, the most crucial learning I've gained is that nothing is a given. Whether it's something small like table manners, or something more sensitive like gender topics, culture places a significant role as to how these scenarios play out. Many of us assume like-mindedness when we engage in conversation, and feel defensive when confronted with alternate points of view. There is so much to learn from people who have walked a different path, and see the world through a different cultural lens, if you prime yourself to be open-minded and keep your cultural bias in check. So much (if not all), of how we think and respond is culturally influenced. We only become aware to what extent our behaviour is influenced by our own cultural norms when we have the opportunity to meet and interact with people whose cultural influences are worlds apart from our own. These moments have made for deep introspection, reflection, and recognition on my own personal values, and the degree by which relativity touches on every facet of life. Give yourself the opportunity to learn the same 😁! #education #assumptions #culturaldifferences Any questions?

#wellness #disappointed #bounceback 0:00 - 2:30 - Intro 2:30 - 14:30 - Bouncing Back from Disappointment 14:30 - Wrap Up Hello Everyone, I hope all is well. Welcome to our second segment on Mental Wellness, this week 😊 In today's conversation, we're talking about how to support yourself when you're feeling disappointed and unmotivated. Maintaining momentum when you're running a marathon is a challenge. This is equally the case when you're pushing towards a short-term goal, that starts to feel like a mid-to-long term goal. You're burning steam, but the finish line feels like it's nowhere in sight. Disappointment is part of the process. Feelings of discouragement when things don't turn out how you expected, is a quiet reminder that we're human and there's an emotional investment that we, unfortunately, lost out on. How I manage my disappointment has been a long journey, and I'm still not perfect in the ways that I address feeling discouraged -- but I've gotten a lot better. We provide some strategies to help you to maintain momentum when life seems to be holding out on the things you want the most... always remember, it's worth it to carry on. #wellness #disappointed #bounceback Any questions?

#mentalwellness #gossip #rumours #lies 0:00 - 2:30 - Intro 2:30 - 14:30 - Dealing with Lies & Gossip 14:30 - Wrap Up Hello Everyone, I hope all is well. Welcome to our first segment on Mental Wellness, this week 😊 In today's conversation, we're talking about how to deal with being the target of vicious rumours, lies, & gossip. While we assume it doesn't happen frequently, many of us don't pay that close attention to the quality of information we hear through the grapevine. That is, until the news reel is concerning us or the people we care about. When what's being shared is untrue, vindictive, and harmful, it can be jarring to recognize that we've been the target of someone's carelessness or malice. Which is what it fundamentally boils down to. When people use you to draw attention to themselves, they either lacked the foresight to see to what extent their lies were going to explode and become problematic for them, or they felt confidently enough in their abilities to turn people against you that they acted with intention. Whatever the case, there's different ways to react and address this kind of slander, be sure to choose the strategy that best serves you in the long run. The truth always prevails in the end, often also revealing the loyalty and intentions of all those who are implicated. #mentalwellness #gossip #rumours #lies Any questions?

#MentalHealth #LifeTransitions #experiences 0:00 - 2:30 - Intro 2:30 - 14:45 Growing Through Painful Rites of Passages 14:45 - Wrap Up Hello Everyone, Hope all is well. Welcome to another segment on Mental Health, this week ☺️! Let's talk about the rites of passages that shifted our perspective about the people, places, and situations in our lives (or who once played significant roles in our lives). Specifically, the moments we each experienced that were painful enough, that our beliefs, values, and behaviours changed, sometimes radically, in response to said circumstance. Much of the wisdom gained in life is through missteps, bumps, and bruises. For many of us, the privilege of seeing the world through rose-coloured lenses had a brutal awakening attached to the end of it. Often when those rose-coloured frames were snatched off our faces and shattered into pieces. Though abrupt, and oftentimes violent, these jarring events bring about a new perspective. Hard won insights that enable us to navigate complex social settings with grace, ease, and awareness. While we'll each have our our personal spin to these painful, gut-wrenching rites of passages that serve to enable us to see ourselves more clearly, it is in celebrating the strength we gained in the pain, that is worthy of commemoration. You got through the obstacles behind you, you'll push through whatever comes next! Any questions?

#MentalHealth #LifeTransitions #experiences 0:00 - 2:30 - Intro 2:30 - 11:20 The Value in Non-Shared Experience 11:20 - Wrap Up Hello Everyone, Hope all is well. Welcome to another segment on Mental Health, this week ☺️! In today's conversation, we're talking about our non-shared lived experiences. Specifically, the people, places, and situations that we've experienced that others struggle to relate with. Even if others experienced similarly, the interplay between our personality, preferences, and disposition, confronted with the unfolding of the specific events or circumstances make these experiences personal, non-shared, and un-relatable. These also somehow end up being the moments in life that fundamentally changed the way we see the world around us. This shift in perspective and worldview can feel alienating, and can also leave us feeling unheard, misunderstood, and alone. But only for a time ☺️. While we may not find solace in the comforts that supported who we once were, it's always worth the investment to find alignment in people, interests and settings that best reflect who we have become now. Whether people choose to acknowledge it or not, much of who we are is grounded in our non-shared experiences. As we heal, these become those pivotal moments and core memories that serve us, rather than hold us down. Any questions?

#education #creative #destruction 0:00 - 2:20 - Intro 2:20 - 8:00 - How Destruction Actualizes Potential 8:00 - Wrap Up Hello Everyone, I hope all is well. Welcome to our segment on Education, this week ☺️ In today's conversation we share a key tenet that is necessary when you're trying to breathe your vision into reality: destruction. Yes 🙌. While it may seem counter-intuitive, it is the process of revision and rework that enables any idea to actualize its potential. Which means rather than baby and protect our ideas at all costs, it's more important to pressure-test and iterate, introducing destruction to the process until your brainchild is more or less fail-proof. Any idea worth sharing should evolve and progress over time. One of the best rewards of breathing something imagined into existence is witnessing it take on a life all on its own. Any questions?

#mentalwellness #perfectionism #expression #healingjourney 0:00 - 2:30 - Intro 2:30 - 10:30 - From Perfectionism to Expression 10:30 - Wrap Up Hello Everyone, I hope all is well. Welcome to our first segment on Mental Wellness, this week 😊 In today's conversation, we're talking about finding our way back to expression by reclaiming our voice. Many of us filter our thoughts, choices, and actions through the filter of perfectionism. Our aim is to model all that is expected of us, rather than to do what it is we feel inclined to do in that moment. We can easily become so consumed in meeting the expectations of others that we fail to see to what extent our own voice has taken the backseat. By the time we recognize that it's an issue, it becomes a process of self-discovery to not only find our voice, but also develop the values and beliefs that enable us to use it without the fear of judgment. Finding our voice is synonymous to giving ourselves permission to not be who people want us to be, and also not being who people expect. It's the true driver in being who you are, unapologetically. So if you're looking for a baby step towards expression, art is where you'll find it. #mentalwellness #perfectionism #expression #healingjourney Any questions?

#MentalHealth #speakyourtruth #reality 0:00 - 2:30 - Intro 2:30 - 11:20 The Pain of Healing 11:20 - Wrap Up Hello Everyone, Hope all is well. Welcome to another segment on Mental Health, this week ☺️! In today's conversation, we're talking about the choice to heal. Specifically, healing our mental, emotional, and spiritual wounds. Many of us are used to the dysfunction that stem from being psychologically wounded. We have acquiesced to beliefs that hurt, relationships that harm, and feelings of inadequacy, guilt, and shame that serve as daily companions. Many of us carry this pain on a daily basis. Whether it's on display or we're hiding in plain sight. Understand that those who chose to heal, experience pain as well. There is pain involved when confronting the issues, memories, and moments that have harmed us, and pain involved in choosing to outgrow the dynamics that those circumstances created. The only difference is that pain rooted in healing propels us forward, rather than the pain rooted in dysfunction which holds us back. So when given the option between staying in the pain of dysfunction or experiencing the pain of healing... Choose the option that serves you best. Choose to heal. Any questions?

#MentalHealth #speakyourtruth #reality 0:00 - 2:30 - Intro 2:30 - 15:20 The Cost of Speaking Your Truth 15:20 - Wrap Up Hello Everyone, Hope all is well. Welcome to our segment on Mental Health, this week ☺️! In today's conversation, we're talking about the impact that telling the truth has on our lives. Speaking the truth... is delicate. We may risk offending people, hurting someone's feelings, or misinterpreting the sequence of events that took place, all in all, creating emotional discomfort. An aversion to emotional discomfort is a key reason why many of us withhold the truth. Whether we are safeguarding ourselves or others, keeping our thoughts to ourselves always seems to be the safest choice. But it isn't. Those who fail to speak their truth, also fail to live their truth, or in truth. Our words ARE the power that shape our reality. Read that again. While it makes sense to refine your communication skills, understand the significance of time and place, and choose your moments with care, it turns out that not speaking your truth is the strongest conduit to living life in regret. Who would have thought? You have more to lose in silence, than you ever had at risk when speaking up. Any questions?

#mentalwellness #dontworry #healingjourney 0:00 - 2:30 - Intro 2:30 - 17:00 - Taking Worry Off the Pedestal 17:00 - Wrap Up Hello Everyone, I hope all is well. Welcome to our first segment on Mental Wellness, this week 😊 In today's conversation, we're addressing worry and anxiety. The degree with which you feel consumed by worry is an indication of the extent that you allow thoughts about the future to cannibalize on your ability to be in the present - in the now.. Ultimately, the future is uncertain. While logically, we all know that no amount of worrying is going to change what will take place in life, many of us are unable to kick the habit. So, I'd like to provide some practical steps to begin identifying the thoughts that are helpful, that enable us to focus our energy in the present, and also focus our attention on what it is we can control: our own efforts and time investment. Everything else, is what it is. There is freedom in acknowledging that no amount of mental energy that you expend hoping for your desired outcome will change how that path is laid out. What you can do, is put your best foot forward and trust that whatever happens, is always for the best. #mentalwellness #dontworry #healingjourney Any questions?

#education #redflags #lifelessons 0:00 - 2:20 - Intro 2:20 - 12:11 - 3 Red Flags of Bad Intentions 12:11 - Wrap Up Hello Everyone, I hope all is well. Welcome to our segment on Education, this week ☺️ In today's conversation we provide 3 types of behaviours that serve as a signal that someone has bad intentions for you. While often we question ourselves, assume we're overreacting, or dismiss the troubling thoughts altogether -- many of us deal with an internal conflict when someone's behaviour is not in alignment with the role they play in our lives. Much of the time, it is the labels that we give to people that make it mentally challenging for us to conclude that maybe we got it wrong. Just because someone carries the title of "friend" doesn't mean that their behaviour matches. Just because someone is near and dear to your heart, doesn't necessarily mean they feel the same about you. This is regardless of the role they play and how long they have played that role in your life. So, as you start rebuilding that trust with your inner guidance and intuition, allow me to give you some very clear indicators that it's time to make some changes to your inner circle. Any questions?
