Between moving to Okinawa (Japan), meeting up with an old backpacking buddy, and stumbling upon a new ex-pat YouTuber, I feel the theme of my life right now is traveling. In today's episode, I wanted to talk about the power of traveling and why I think it's so important, especially starting at a young age. How do you feel? What are your thoughts on traveling, experiencing the world, and different cultures?

I used to be such an avid reader throughout my childhood and teenage years but stopped reading when I became an adult. I'm picking that habit back up again!I've read a lot of good self-help books this year, and I wanted to start an annual tradition on this podcast of sharing my top 5 self-help books that I read that year. So, to kick start this tradition, today's episode will cover the Kit's 2019 edition of the top 5 self-help books that I read this year. There's one book on this list you guys might find questionable.

The holidays are here and I know how hard it can be this time of year when dealing with grief. We often tend to feel the pressures of needing to “be festive” that often contradicts how we are actually feeling. It’s common for us to try and put on a brave face for the people around us. It can get exhausting. This is why I think it’s so important to talk about this subject today. So, let’s talk about grief and what it means to have to deal with losing a loved one.E-Mail: PhoenixDareToRise@Gmail.ComI dedicate this episode to my Dad’s legacy.

Sometimes the best lessons in life are learned from traveling and seeing how other people live in different cultures. In today's episode of the Project Phoenix Podcast, I tell one of these stories. This story takes place in Pai. A small town in the northern part of Thailand near the Myanmar border. It involves an intense incident in a public bathroom that left me with an important decision to make, and lessons on humility I learned from these vulnerable experiences.

Hey, guys! In this episode, we are going to be diving into our society's problem with emotions and vulnerability. I spent a lot of my childhood, teenage years, and adulthood not knowing how to properly manage my emotions. This caused some major issues when it came to my emotional health and stability. In a world where it's common to shame each other for the simple act of crying, what kind of natural health and mental health benefits are we losing out on?

In this episode of the Project Phoenix podcast, we’ll be diving into the art of turning our personal suffering into compassion. This is something that I’ve been trying to grow in personally that has been lacking in my life. Make sure to tune in until the end where I give you guys a little challenge. And, make sure to let me know how the challenge goes in the comment section below (if you’re watching this on YouTube and Facebook).

In this nail biting episode (for me, not you) I introduce our very first episode of the Project Phoenix Podcast.
