True Lessons

Sometimes we loop (repeat lessons) until we finally surrender to what is and stop playing the victim.

Nobody has to do it alone, we all need a village, children and adults -so let me be a part of that village and let me help you.

It would be an honor to support you.

In this episode, I talk about my love for food and why I started a Youtube channel called Lillian's Kitchen. There, I will share recipes, stories, and of course- laughs.

I will be trying new recipes, so bear with me, but also sharing what I consider a love language with you all.

Subscribe now to my channel and keep up with the dishes straight out of my kitchen. XOXO

Buen provecho mi gente.

Do you know how to be resilient?*

A resilient person is loved and admired by many. But, their strength works against them, not only in his personal life but also in his professional life. Companies love these types of people. After all, they "bear it all," forgetting that they are also human, and despite being strong, we all have a breaking point.

We all desire to have the ability to get up when everything is falling apart, be strong despite the circumstances, and have a smile on our faces even when nothing is okay. In conclusion, we all want to be resilient, but it goes further than that.

Today's guest, Lillian Hernandez, is here to talk about this topic. She is the life coach we all need in our lives. This astonishing woman will teach us how to develop that skill without falling on the negative side of it.

For advice and tips, don't miss this episode.

Sometimes we want to be so strong and bear it all, but we can break at some point. You are not Superman or Superwoman; you are human. Take what you can and want to take, don't let yourself be overloaded.

In this episode, Lauren McConnell and I discuss how fears and the unknown spaces are an amazing thing to rely on during transitions.

She references Dr Joe Dispenza, who loves the unknown.

Don't miss this episode!

Lauren is a certified mindset coach who helps people peel back the layers of the world's expectations of them so they can get to the core essence of who they are. She helps them to start living, playing and creating from that space, because that unique 'special sauce' is their true purpose. She’s also a personal growth junkie, a comedy actor, blanky carrier, sentimental softie, and sun lover who is currently working remotely from a beach house in Costa Rica, while practicing embracing “the unknown.” 

In this episode Carolyn Sharp and I talk about marriage. The ups and downs and the work that is required to maintain the bond.

Relationships are hard because humans are difficult so matching with others is difficult but we can either take the energy to prevent an issue or fix conflicts after.

Carolyn is the Relationship Resuscitator Clini-Coach® and a working married mom who knows exactly what it takes to keep a relationship thriving long after the “I dos.” She helps couples fire UP their relationship back to the place of passion and connection that was once known. Finding the funny in serious situations at work and at home is second nature to Carolyn Sharp, and it is one of the things her clients find most refreshing. But behind this levity is a woman who cares very deeply about people and is passionate about using her creativity to help her clients build stronger and more vibrant relationships. She knows that she doesn’t have all the answers and is on a path of continuous learning to be a better therapist. Carolyn’s fierce commitment to social justice has not left since her career beginnings and she works to create a more fair, equitable and humane community in both work and personal relationships.

Personally, she knows the pain of a failed marriage and like her mentor, Dr. Tatkin, Carolyn uses this experience in helping couples succeed. Today she and her husband of 5 years (this is a second marriage for both) live in a blended household of teenage hormones thanks to 4 kids ranging from 14 to 20 plus a menagerie of dogs, cats, skis, bikes, lacrosse sticks, musical instruments, swim gear and oars. During the brief times when the children are with their other parents, Carolyn savors the joys of a temporarily empty house in alone time with her husband. When she has the time, she enjoys cooking, running, gardening, reading, hiking, skiing and spending time with friends.

Cyzon Griffin, a drummer born and raised in Niagara Falls. He goes by LC and lives in NYC now is a street performer.

You do not want to skip this one.

More on Patricia:

Originally from Venezuela, Patricia came to the UK almost two decades ago to learn English but soon fell in love with the country and decided to stay. She is now a career confidence coach who focuses on helping immigrant women to gain confidence and elevate their professional career. Other people like her (immigrants, with an accent and different from the crowd) started asking how she could help them get ahead too and that is how she began her career coaching business while still climbing to the top of her profession. She believes we need more women in leadership positions and wants to help women reach the top with her because together we are stronger! With a two decade-long successful corporate career in the Tech World she is currently a Senior Agile Delivery Lead for a video streaming German media company, a podcaster, an evangelist of healthy living and a mum of two. Her biggest challenge is to give her neurodiverse son the best life he can have in a world more aware of diversity and inclusion and to follow her purpose of helping people become the best version of themselves while living an extraordinary life.

Healing is challenging in general, add the pressures of being in our 30's and the weight of a latina and you have a recipe for ... well a harder journey. 

In this episode, Kim and I discuss the challenges of healing and why it's so hard being the one to break generational curses.

Derek Jeter once said, "Your image isn't your character. Character is what you are as a person."

Enjoy! 

In this episode, Lilly Jeanette claims 4 reasons why people avoid healing. 

1. Truth hurts
2. Lack of support
3. Inability to be disciplined
4. Lack of accountability (mindset) 

Yet the #1 reason why you should oversee all of that is 

YOU!!! 

In this episode, your host Lilly Jeanette talks about healing from the inside out. 

Many people don't to admit that healing is needed but we have to start with choosing to do better for ourselves. 

Our society has normalized suppressing or real emotions, and not addressing important matters. 

Here are some resources for those in need of beginning their healing journey. 

The 5 love languages outlines five general ways that romantic partners express and experience love, which Dr. Gary Chapman, author, speaker, and counselor calls "love languages". 

In this episode, Tynia and I talk about love languages and boundaries. 

In this episode, I talk about the newness of being more in my body and not so much in my head and the challenges that arise when new emotions emerge when you’re used to thinking and not feeling. I am focused on flowing like water like Bruce Lee once commented in his movie “The Way of the Dragon" which rings inspirationally true to this day and resonates strongly in my current timeline of healing.
