Humans are unique in the fact that we are blessed with freewill. Free will is both a blessing and a curse, since it gives us the power of choice. Making choices can be a difficult process. We can be influenced by those around us, the information we consume, or the research that we look into. We can also become obsessed with making the “wrong or right” choice. If we begin to make choices that are in alignment with our true vision for ourselves, then we break free from others' expectations and there is no longer a wrong choice. Today, Omar introduces us to Jolenny Piedra. Jolenny is a Trauma-Informed Spiritual Life Coach. Over the past 13 years, she has worked with thousands of clients, holding a space of deep safety, reverence and acceptance as they mapped their own paths from emotional and spiritual struggle back to the light of truth and of love. The practice and heart centered approach of mindfulness, deep soul inquiry, and conscious empowerment has been and continues to be a cornerstone of her coaching practice. In this week's Omar Pinto Coaching Podcast, Omar and Jolenny discuss the power of making choices that are in alignment with our inner truth and spirit. Tune in to hear how to break free of the fear of making choices and how to begin to make choices that will lead you to fulfillment and peace.  What you will discover: [1:11] Jolenny introduces herself and discusses her own coaching and healing journey. [2:12] The power of choice and what it means.  [4:50] How choosing to make micro adjustments can change your life.   [12:00] Omar talks about the choice he made to drink for the first time and how that choice eventually came full circle.

One of the biggest things we can do to create resentments is to have expectations. The most common individuals that we place expectations on are our loved ones and family members. We often idealize, hope for, or expect our family members to act in a way in which they are incapable of doing. Even if we have seen that they are unable to meet our expectations, we still have them. These types of false expectations only cause us harm. Once we release our expectations and see the relationship with clarity, we can begin to achieve emotional freedom from the attachment.

As children, we're born without any means to defend ourselves. Totally dependent on our parents for love, acceptance and shelter, there can be times when our parents fail to provide emotional, psychological, and physical shelter required. This can cause us to be stuck in a trauma-response for years to come with a wounded-inner child: You often have to guess at what “normal” is, because it doesn't feel safe to trust. You pose the risk of getting hurt when you get close to someone, so you back away. For years we felt smaller than, learning to mitigate our own needs to compensate for our low self-esteem. We came to reject the part of us that needed love, trust, and understanding instead became a person who someone else wanted us to be.  As adults, we cannot return to our childhood and begin again. So, often, we need to reparent ourselves. A life skill never taught, reparenting means giving yourself what you didn't receive from childhood and giving your wounded inner child the love, respect, and dignity you deserved when you were young.  In this week's Recovery Coaching call, the group helped Leo, Jess, and Jen.

Recovery is so much more than putting down the substances. Once we stop the self-perpetuating cycle of self-destructive behaviors from addiction and trauma, we begin to uncover how much our experiences have affected all aspects of our lives. We're often left with a lack of coping mechanisms, dysfunctional relationships, pain, guit, shame, and financial challenges.  Financial sobriety can be one of the hardest components of recovery, though can be one of the most rewarding. Financial sobriety means healing our mindset and relationships around money, and becoming accountable and mindful of where you are financially, where you want to be, and how you're going to get there. In this week's Omar Pinto Coaching Podcast, the group helped Travis. Struggling to understand the effect that prison had on his life, the belief system he has around money and doing what he loves are preventing him from living  the life he truly deserves.  In week's Recovery Coaching call, you'll learn:       [0:18] Travis questions the impact that incarceration and prison has had on his life.       [5:00] Travis shares the criminal-like behavioral patterns and thinking that continue to affect him even in recovery.       [7:40] Travis discusses his thoughts to chase desires with disregard to consequences and begins to identify the traumas that led him to this type of thought pattern.        [17:35] How incarceration simply amplified Travis' inability to be vulnerable and authentic.       [26:25] How unresolved trauma due to lack of trust in others leads to identity crisis.       [34:37] Travis explains the difficulty he has experienced financially due to his criminal background, which has led to anxiety, fear, and low self esteem.        [53:51] How to identify limiting belief systems around finances and the importance of giving yourself permission to create a career out of your passions.       [63:18] Travis comes to acknowledge that his belief system and mindset in regards to money has been holding him back and receives encouragement and tools to help him change For the show notes and links for this episode go to omarpinto.com/043. ***  Get 1-on-1 Life Coaching with Omar Pinto!

Most of us have experienced some form of trauma in our lifetime, which can be a one-time event such as a car accident, or repeated trauma that occurs for months or years. However for many, trauma is deeply rooted in childhood events.  While throughout life we become physically and psychologically vulnerable, those who have experienced trauma can equate being emotionally vulnerable as a threat to our safety and security. Holding tightly onto control, the fear of emotional exposure brings up feelings that we may not be willing to face.  In this week's Omar Pinto Coaching Podcast, the group helped Sara. She found herself falling off of her recovery routine due to the pandemic and life events. Overwhelmed by things she can't control, she doesn't let those get overly close to her. Equating vulnerability to a decrease in safety, she feels it's easier to handle everything on her own.       [0:26] Sarah on her recent predicaments and how having a plan of action is helping her move forward.        [4:32] She explains her physical and emotional relationship with her family.        [12:46] Sarah on her need to do everything and have things done her way.        [29:40] The trauma she experienced as a teenager, which led her to heavy drinking and eventual alcoholism at 15 years.       [34:16] How lack of trust and self-worth can make you feel unsafe in who you are and how others perceive you.        [39:52] How isolation leads to loneliness, which later turns into self-hatred.       [45:56] Why she needs to be vulnerable to feel safe again, trust, and let her guards down.        [52:38] Tori and Leo share the lessons they've learned from Sarah's coaching session.  For the show notes and links for this episode go to omarpinto.com/042. ***  Get 1-on-1 Life Coaching with Omar Pinto!

Some of us who have rigid standards and don't adapt well to change can throw around the word “control freak”. Where does this behavior stem from? The idea of being in control means you can set benchmarks, tasks, objectives and unrealistic expectations of yourself. However, with unrealistic expectations comes the idea of striving for perfection, and what closely follows behind is failure.  In this week's Omar Pinto Coaching Podcast, the group helped Tori. Struggling with letting go of her perfectionistic ways; her unrealistic expectations of herself have created opportunities to fail and not accept responsibility. By playing the role of the victim, Tori has learned how to set herself up for an endless cycle of self-sabotage. The group also helped Katie. With a few weeks sober, she wants to quit drinking due to health reasons, but finds her new found sobriety disconnects her from her family.

Addiction is a family disease, and each person in the family is affected. When someone struggles with substance use disorder the equilibrium of the entire family is thrown off. Anger turns into hurt, which can turn into bitterness, and broken promises turn into lies.. But what happens when the person becomes sober and begins to see the miracles of recovery? In this week's Omar Pinto Coaching Podcast, the group helped Kellie. After a period of sobriety, Kellie relapsed during a family event and has yet to address the behavior between herself and her family. With a riff between herself and her sister, Kellie faces an ultimatum to agree to go to a treatment facility or lose the support of her family.

Why is it that so many of us on the path of recovery find ourselves reverting back to old ways without even realizing how we got there, ultimately not fulfilling our purpose. The chaos can be comfortable, self-destruction can be familiar, and it's what we know. In addiction, we may have felt that our negative consequences were justified by our bad behavior. We deserved the misery. We deserved the pain. We deserved to be miserable, alone, and afraid.  When we enter the world of recovery, we don't just stop thinking this way. It takes time. When we get overwhelmed with life in recovery, we can hear these same messages we used to tell ourselves and resort back to old ways of thinking, leading to a downward spiral. In this week's Recovery Coaching call, the group helped Amber. Angry, bitter, and overwhelmed, and newly sober, she reached a point where she sat at the liquor store in contemplation of drinking again. The group helps Amber untangle her limiting beliefs by recognizing the hatred she has towards herself and understanding the roles she's played in relationships with her Father and Husband; where she begins to ultimately heal her 17 year old self to become confident in the person she is today. Listen in to learn why you need to forgive yourself and let go of the need to fulfill others' expectations of you.  What You Will Discover: [1:59] Amber talks about her recent struggles and the anger and regrets she has towards herself.  [9:24] The disadvantage of keeping count and holding onto your past mistakes.  [14:14] She talks about her family's past and why she left her career in law enforcement.

With trust issues from childhood trauma, the group helps Kris discover that these thoughts and feelings of anger have helped protect her and kept her isolated for years, providing secondary gains to self-sabotage, hold onto her addiction, and create a cycle of distrust with everyone that surrounds her.

Would you allow yourself to be joyful with no expectations?  For those who have experienced hurt, betrayal, and loss, there's a deep understanding of what it means to have your joy taken from you in a split second.

It's normal to care about what others think and worry about how our decisions will impact them, but once we allow the fear of disappointment to take over, we're simply hitting our own head against the wall.  Somewhere along the way, we've seemed to glorify this fear to mean that we care. However, the fear of disappointing others can be a powerful negative emotion that can eat away at our happiness, our passions, and even create resentment. In this week's Recovery Coaching Call, the group helped Corey. Going back to work after time unemployed, she's taken a new job that requires her to be away from home traveling. Feeling pressure and overwhelm, her main decision of staying in this position is the fear of disappointing her husband.  When we find we do things out of the fear of disappointment, we also become at risk of bitterness, resentment, and anger, which can quickly lead to relapse.  What You Will Discover: [0:27] Corrie explains the problems she's having with her new job and why she wants to fail.

Establishing accountability in recovery takes time and patience.  In this weeks Recovery Coaching call the group helped Shelley.

From a habitual marijuana habit to gaining sobriety, and now going back to school, she's fearful she will fail and disappoint herself in continuing a cycle of never finishing what she starts.  Often, we allow our thoughts, feelings, and emotions to overwhelm us. If we allow these emotions to serve as our internal guidance system, they begin to tell us what to do next. When we're fearful we're going to fail, we show up, thank the fear, and allow others to hold space and guide our next moves. In this week's Omar Pinto Coaching Podcast, you'll learn: How negative emotions can serve us for good How to create an accountability system How to recognize the “little wins” and celebrate them How becoming vulnerable can create the most change in our lives.
