How to Set Yourself Up for Success | Gift Yourself the Time & Grace to Achieve Your Personal Goals There isn't a person on earth who wouldn't benefit from a little personal development.

Not because you needed to per se, but because you were up for some change. You were looking to grow. Oftentimes, our sense of discontentment with the people, places, things and situations in our life is masking our desire for growth. We want to feel different, and we want to do differently. But rather than address the fact that we are ourselves firmly rooted in our comfort zones, we project this discontentment onto the people around us

The Aftermath of Trauma | How to Celebrate Your Survival Story & Make the Choice Not to be a Victim While we rarely had a say in the cases where we've been victimized, how we respond, is always our choice. It's a significant and an instrumental choice. We can choose the narrative by which we share the situations and circumstances we survived. Emphasis on survived. Many people have long since moved on in all intents and purposes, except for the ways the think about and communicate those situations. Many who have been battling with bitterness and resentment for years... Never realizing that creating space for that kind of negative energy, doesn't help you heal, and ultimately limits your capacity to grow. So what path to take?

Challenging the Expectations that Do Not Serve Us | 3 Social Norms We Are Better Off Abandoning
Attention is Finite. Before Calling it ADHD How Much Energy Are You Expending Trying to be Engaged? Paying attention takes energy. Paying attention when the content isn't engaging, and the environment also requires you to self-regulate by sitting still and staying quiet is all the more challenging. Why? Because focus is a finite resource. We can keep the muscle flexed for long before it needs to take a break. The same with attention. Attention without engagement burns through a lot of the resources that we have at our disposal to stay focused and to learn. Many individuals are quick to criticize when there are some who struggle to pay attention, failing to recognize that they've tapped out on focus and self-regulation, because those burn out quickly when not super-fuelled by being engaged. Video games are engaging - and people can't get enough of it. Rather than self-identify as having ADHD why not find out what makes content or learning engaging for you, as an initial first step.

Win the War on Choice | How Developing Critical Thinking Enables You to Protect Your Personal Agency You don't need to look very far to find examples of people, institutions, and government bodies in society that take issue with personal agency. One of the greatest examples of democracy, the United States of America, has chosen a government that intends on stripping people of choices that we long believed to be fundamental human rights. What enabled this advancement? A lack of critical thinking. Which is a skill, a tool that our education systems across North America do very little in developing. There are serious implications when we find ourselves making decisions that serve governments, institutions, public or private, who's mandate is specifically to limit your range of decision-making, The current political climate presents a cautionary tale. It could happy at any level, and to anyone of us. So - if you're starting to think about what New Year's resolutions are worth your time... focus on expanding your ability to think critically on the issues that concern you and your loved ones the most.

Prioritizing Intellectual Stimulation | Learning is a Need that Extends Beyond a Classroom Setting We are all constantly learning and oftentimes when we don't realize it. Our brain is taking in information and making adjustments, often subconsciously, in the way we navigate in the world around us. Imagine focusing your attention on areas that bring you intellectual stimulation. Not just entertainment, but engagement. Not just a passive listener, but an active participant? When it comes to our intellectual potential - we get what we give. Aim to give more than what you're getting
Protecting Your Agency | Dignity in Retaining Your Choice, Your Personal Power and Using Your Voice Your personal agency is a threat to others. While it blows my mind to recognize the extent with which this holds true, it's important that we recognize it. Your ability to blaze your own path and make your own choices, is a bitter pill to swallow for anyone who is deluded enough to believe they can make better choices concerning your life, for you. What I find personally harrowing about this realization is that it's often the people who themselves have made choices that are wildly questionable who seem to think that controlling your life, will make them feel better about the lack of control they have of their own lives. If the American election can be anything at all for the rest of the world watching, let it be a cautionary tale on what happens when you give anyone the impression that you don't take your power to choose seriously. If you haven't taken your ability to choose seriously up until now, let's all make a commitment to never lose that insight. Do you have any questions?

Change Requires a Change in Behaviour | Take Inventory of What Habits Help or Hinder You as You Grow Much of our growth can be highlighted in the behaviours and habits we take on, throughout the different stages and phases in life. Some of this habits are healthy, and become rooted in our behaviours and how we show up, while others are a bit more nuanced. There are some behaviours that we adopt, especially if we've survived trauma, or are surviving really jarring situations, that serve us so long as that even and circumstance is still ongoing. But once we reach the end of the chapter of our lives, it's time to assess if whether those behaviours, help or hinder our ability to heal, and to find our way back to aligning our behaviours with our own sense of identity. There are no wrong answers, just maybe answers we might not be ready to act on. But in all cases, if survival required you to show up differently, it's for you to decide what of those tendencies you keep, and what aspects of self you allow to shine, once the dust settles.

What You Need to Know Matters | Prioritize the Learning that Aligns You to Your Passion & Purpose ✅ I'm a sucker for cliffhangers. I can tell myself I'm done binge-watching a series, but I know that the quality of the cliffhanger will decide whether the bing ends or continues. What can I say? I need to know! Luckily, the drive to fill the gap and understand isn't limited to Netflix TV shows. This drive has been what has enabled me to find alignment in my career, in my passions & hobbies, and it drives deeper connection in my relationship. There is no limit to where the need to know can take you. So rather than brush off the curiosity, or deter and distract yourself... lean in, figure it out and learn something more about yourself.

3 Reasons Not to Hold a Grudge | Allow People to Be Who They Want & Choosing to Respond, Accordingly We all know that the "noble" thing to do is to let it go, yet why do most of us struggle to keep negative people, places, and circumstances skew our way of viewing the world. Oftentimes, it's the bitterness and resentment that stems from not letting things go, as in, holding our grudge that keeps us from changing for the better. Whether it be pride, ego, or principle, whether you're entirely justified or not, it's important to understand that having a chip on your shoulder, won't make you feel better... it'll probably make you feel worse.

Lukewarm Friendships Do Not Serve You | Focusing on a Healthy Relationship with Self Brings Clarity No one really highlights the damage that can be caused by lukewarm friendships. The ones who are there for a good time, but are nowhere to be found when you experience a crisis, or are going through a challenge. Who sometimes are the ones who are indifferent and passive in witnessing your mistreatment, and invalidate your experiences. We want to respect their agency, so we feel inclined to respect their silence. Even when it hurts, even when it would have meant everything if they had checked in or spoken up. If there's one thing that fostering a healthy relationship with myself has taught me, invest your time and energy into people who value you as much as you do (and will come to), you'll be surprised at what you will no longer make the space to tolerate.

Master the Art of Checking In with Self | 4 Steps to Support Your Emotions & Further Inner Discovery Many of us aren't living the lives that we want, because we are too afraid to fail. However we define failure, it feels like a such a crippling experiencing, we would rather play small and live life unsatisfied, then to deal with it head on. While I like to put the majority of the blame on the schooling system, we each have a role to play, when it comes to the behaviours we allow that hurt us and that help us. This includes the way we navigate the possibility of failing. In truth, if you've never failed, you've never really tried. Living and learning, it involves failing as a prerequisite. You're not going to know what to do if you're embracing the experience of figuring it out. It's pretty much how you figure things out... failing your way to success. And unless you embrace the bumps and bruises that come with the failures that pave your way to success... the likelihood that you'll experiencing succeeding (by the million and one definitions of success), is likely small. So don't play small. Do you have any questions?

Setting Realistic Expectations & Establishing Realistic Timelines | Understanding Speed vs. Accuracy While desire can enable us to be motivated to push towards our goals, as excited as we are, our will has no influence on the time required to accomplish a desired objective. Whether you're setting aggressive or conservative timelines, the things we push towards take time to be accomplished. Did you take less time than expected, know that you've compromised on something. Whether that's quality, comprehensiveness, or functionality, there is as much a risk involved when getting things done too quickly, as there is when getting done too slowly. You've got to find a balance. And the right balance, is often toeing the line between speed and accuracy. Do you have any questions?

Embracing the Learning Curve | We Stumble Our Way to Proficiency & Inadequacy Comes Before Mastery When was the last time you learned something new? Specifically, something that took time, energy, and effort to fully understand? So much of the advice we receive is to play to our strengths. To focus on the areas we naturally excel, and to chart a path on that trajectory. In the same breath, we are actively discouraged to try and cultivate proficiency in areas that aren't naturally accessible to us, rather than encouraged and supported to make the effort to bridge the gap. Playing to our strengths is one way to live, but there is so much passion and potential to charting a development path that doesn't take strength or weakness into consideration. Following your curiosity, whether it leads you down a path where you are naturally talented or otherwise, is the best way to never wonder if you sold yourself short. Do you have any questions?

On Matters of Healing & The Heart | Giving Yourself the Time and Compassion You Need to Bounce Back Anyone who has dealt with any form of loss knows that the journey to feeling whole is a soft science. While all of us have, or will, deal with grief at some point - no two people manage grief the same. Though there is research and suggestions on how best to recognize the cycle of grief, how we cycle through grief is very personal and individualized. Don't rush your grieving process. Whether it's loss of a loved one, an opportunity, something you treasure, or the loss of your former self before a critical life changing event -- it's a process.

History is in the Making & For the Taking | There's Always More to Know Than Wait We Know, So Learn! Since primary school we've been taught that it is our responsibility to know our history so that we can hold ourselves accountable to not repeat it. But what defines the scope of the history that we should be aware of? In what ways do our personal, societal, and global histories interconnect? In every way. In modern day 2024, none of our histories took place in a silo. Not our personal histories, societal histories, or global histories. The proof that we are all connected in some way, shape or form is written in the history books. I believe that is a failing of the modern day education system to treat the topic of history so cavalierly. Bottom line, navigating from a place knowledge, insight, and an understanding of personal, societal and global history is a torch that we can each carry, at our own time, and in our own way. Let's make a commitment to leverage history in making the critical life decisions that we know will impact us the most. Do you have any questions?

Why Reset & Level Set? | Making Space for New, in Letting Go of the Energy that No Longer Serves You Our overall state of wellness is the sum of the habits and rituals that we partake in.

To Live & Let Live | How Allowing Others to be Themselves Helps You Embrace Your Own Individuality Similarity is overrated. If each of us lost the unique aspects of ourselves, that no one else has, the world would feel a little greyer. Knowing this, that the variety among us is often what brings colour to our lives, why not be less particular about the differences we embrace? More specifically, why don't we make a concerted effort to try and build a bridge to see the value that exists between our perspective and someone else's. For all intents and purposes we have reasons for believing in the things we do, and it would follow that others have their reasons for believing otherwise. So why not make an effort to see the value in an alternative perspective? Not to change your own, or to gather intel to persuade others to your view on things... but to sit in stillness and hold space for different. Our journeys are as unique as we are. It makes sense that we each carry, and will carry, beliefs that enable us to accomplish to things that embracing our own becoming will allow. So next time you become glaringly aware of the difference between you and someone else... lean in. Do you have any questions?

Finding Safety in Self-Disclosure | Guiding Others in Learning How to Treat Our Sharing with Caring Taking about significant experiences can be daunting. Whether it's a high or a low, we never know how people might respond. Many of us have stopped taking the opportunity to be vulnerable because we've been burned. In that, we chose to self-disclosure and rather than be met with empathy and compassion, we found ourselves blindsided by criticism and judgment. These experiences are especially painful when they catch us off guard, and come from people that we thought would have behaved and responded differently. I've learned in life that psychological safety is not just something we hope for, it's something we need to be ready to fight for too. Not loudly, or even rudely, but by establishing boundaries.

Choosing to go No Contact | Remove the Social Taboo When Exercising Personal Agency in Cutting Ties Some of us are born in toxic dynamics. Though we recognize and articulate that these relationships are not good for us - many feel a sense of obligation to maintaining familial ties. Specifically, maintaining abusive relationships simply because we share a family tree. We know this is true, because of the criticism and the resistance we receive when it is the case that we step out of this paradigm and choose to go no contact. In cases where people would celebrate going no contact with an abusive romantic partner or friend, many still struggle to lend the same support and solidarity if it were that the abuse was coming from a parent or a sibling. Normalizing toxic relationships, just because they're related is something that many of us have done, and to our own detriment. Going no contact is never an easy decision, let's not make it harder for the people who have survived abuse, by creating taboo and disapproval around a decision that ultimately serves to support your mental health and well-being in the long run.

Removing Public Opinion when Exercising Personal Agency | Maintaining Inner Alignment in Controversy Not everyone is going to agree with the decisions you make in your life. You may even find yourself dealing with vehement disagreement in how you choose to exercise your personal agency. Make no apologies. While everyone is allowed their personal opinions, it is entirely overstepping a boundary when one believes that their opinion should encroach on your personal agency. It's important to be open and receptive to feedback that is worth considering, but never allow anyone to think that your life should be guided by anyone's choices but your own. There are too many people who avoid living their best lives... because they're too busy interfering with everyone else's.

Having the Confidence to do Things Alone | How to Cultivate a Sense of Self-Efficacy & Inner-Belief How many of us hold off, or hold back, on the things we want because we're afraid to do it alone? Or despite how much, or how strongly, we desire to do something we fear to do it at all? Much of this sense of angst and self-doubt comes from not developing your self-efficacy muscle. The muscle that develops with the experience of being able to accomplish and master novel tasks, and push through uncertain experiences. If we grew up in environments where we weren't given that the time, patience, or space to figure things out on our own, or to do it alone... this might be where this lack of self-confidence comes from.

Nurturing Our Curious Minds | Developing the Muscle of Self-Directedness & Blazing Your Own Path
Harnessing the Power in Curiosity | How Asking Questions (Unapologetically), Ignites Your Creativity There is power in asking, "Why?" While for many of us, it can feel risky to make our lack of knowledge in a given area known. Whether we feel like we are competing, being evaluated for our know how, it's hard to see the end justifying the means in asking the question, "Why?" Many of us would rather smile and nod in a show of agreement, mental noting the evening google search we will do, when we go back home. While a Google search is fine, there is a lot that gets missed when we miss out on the dialogue that asking our questions create. Often it is in asking why that we realize our systems could improve, our processes could use a refresh, and enable others to see the synchronicities as well as the gaps in their own knowledge and expertise. All significant and impactful change started off with trying to answer a question. Whether that translated as solving a problem, or idea generating potential solutions. If you're looking for ingenuity, fuel your curiosity by asking as many questions as you can. So what are you waiting for? Learn how to feel like you got the most out of your day, any day of the week.

Addressing Jealousy at its Root | Learning to Manage Feelings of Inadequacy & Admiration, Adaptively Jealousy is a human emotion. Feeling jealous, however frequently or infrequently, is not problematic in and of itself. It's the behaviours that we engage in because we feel jealous that create serious issues. For whatever reason, jealousy can override logical thinking, critical reasoning, and basic fundamentals in human decency. We dehumanize the object of our envy when we act on our jealousy in ways that are toxic, destructive, and in some cases fatal. Jealousy is at the root of gossip, rumours, and acts of malicious intent, yet we often brush it under the rug, and minimize the impact it could have on our lives. Don't make that mistake. Safeguard yourselves from the jealousy of others, and do not minimize the potential for harm that stems from a jealous individual. Having been stalked and surviving multiple abductions attempts is some of how jealousy has shifted and warped the thinking of the men who have stalked, terrorized and intimidated me for the last four years. These were (I assume) normal men, whose entire line of decision-making became degraded because of their inability to reign in the green-eyed monster. So we need to hold ourselves accountable, and recognize the underlying emotions to jealousy, and nip the behaviours that translate as harming others, and thereby harming ourselves, in the bud.

Learn to Dig Deeper | Understanding the Weight of Others' Intentions & Practicing Conscientiousness Kindness goes a long way. An act of kindness can be the spark of a new connection and it nourishes the soul. We give to ourselves with the acts of kindness we engage in with others, no harm no foul. But behaviour is driven by more than what we can perceive. While I wouldn't want to advocate for being suspicious by unexpected acts of kindness, it's important to reserve judgment. Consider an act of kindness as one step. There are still many steps to go before you have enough information to gauge the intentions and motivations behind the actions of the people you are coming into contact with. All to say, give it the time it needs. Intentions and motivations, good or bad, rise to the surface when given the right amount of time, with the right amount of attention. So pay attention. When it comes to being perceptive of the intentions and motivations of the people around you, developing that intuition can keep you from the experiences that you are better off without.

In Addressing Our Fatal Flaws | Using Your Discretion When Receiving Feedback About Your Personality How people decide how they feel about you, is relative. Much of what informs someone's opinion about you has to do with how they see themselves. Whether it's personal or professional, people's perceptions are influenced by previous experiences, beliefs, thoughts, values, and desires that they project onto you, but this projections often have very little to do with you. Many are comfortable making snap decisions about others, because much of what they leverage to inform those choices has very little to do with information and insight that is outside of the context of themselves. With this truth in mind, it's important that we recognize that how someone views us, does not need to inform how we see ourselves. Who we are and how we are, is the right fit for many people we have met or have yet to meet. Showing up in authenticity means giving people an option to select themselves out if they find your flaws to fatal for them. Just remember what is fatal for one, could be fantastic for another.

Charting New Territory & Opportunities with Learning | When We Know Differently, We Do Differently
Why Learning Should Align with Our Passions & Interests | The Importance of Avoiding the Career Trap Many of us find ourselves doing things we are very good at, but don't particularly like. This is what I personally like the consider the "misplaced duty" muscle. The muscle that some of us have developed, that enable us to pursue excellence in areas where we aren't particularly passionate, in order to please the people pressuring us to do so. Also, many of us focus on what society tells us are important ingredients to make ourselves happy, and end up selling out on our own inner knowing of what happiness would look like. Which is different for everyone one of us. Many find, often when they've pigeonholed themselves in a career that they realized they didn't like, that they discounted the effects on their sense of well-being to engage in work... that feels like work. Sometimes the best thing you can do is invest in understanding yourself, and understanding what are the key components of a career path, that enables you to make the career choices to align yourself in arenas (no matter the challenges those environments might present), where the work doesn't feel like you're working -- it's energizing because it's in alignment with what you want to do.

How to Challenge Thoughts of Inadequacy by Focusing on Adaptation | Being the Catalyst for Change ✅ Every day we step out into the world we make the choice to stand out or to blend in. If we are all being honest, most of us would choose to blend in and try to minimize any spotlight or attention, whatsoever. Totally understandable! Being the centre of attention can be intimidating and opens you up to receive both criticism and praise - from the people who have mastered blending in. But, so what? So many of us are hiding so many aspects of ourselves to be more palatable. We are loved for who we are not, and we limit our own self-expression and evolution as a result. Standing out can be difficult, it's often why in new settings we can feel inadequate and uncomfortable for all the ways we are different. Rise to the challenge, take the opportunity to reframe the feelings of inadequacy you may experience, into areas that signal the need for adaptation. In choosing to adapt and not to conform, we give ourselves permission to be ourselves and to stand out without apology. Do you have any questions?

Developing Decisiveness | Tenaciously Maintaining the Path Least Travel if You Find Inner Alignment There's often so much to choose from, it's figuring out what choice to make that often trumps the quality of choice we end up making. Sometimes we feel like choosing something is better than choosing nothing at all. But that line of thought often leads to us over-compensating, over-investing, and over-committing to the people, places, and things in our lives that we weren't really sure about to begin with. So how do we make sure that we treat the decision-making process with care, so that we're tenaciously aligning our actions to our own values, beliefs and desires? Every choice and every decision carries an impact - so make sure that you attribute the appropriate level of care to every decision you're making. Do you have any questions?

3 Healthy Strategies to Counteract Feelings of Helplessness | Grow through What You're Going through A lot can happen in a day that we have no control over. This can be especially challenging when we ourselves are impacted by the outcome, and the outcome is largely outside our realm of control. With a focus on the end result we're looking for, and the miles that exist between where we want to be and this present moment... it's easy to feel helpless. Many of us do. Many of us forgot a time where we didn't feel helpless, and much of the things we do and choose not to do stem from how we've learned to manage that sense of helplessness. Having been stalked by my professor at UofT's Rotman's School of management for the last four years, across country and several other countries, I'm well acquainted with the feeling. All to say, part of my survivorship is learning how to constructively respond and adapt to those feelings of helplessness, rather than cave into them - hopefully these insights can support you, too.

Knowing Where to Turn to in Difficulty | The Power of Social Participation in Eco-Systems of Support There's so much more to the world we live in, than the corner that our lives occupy. Oftentimes, we find ourselves so busy in the routines that we've established, we forget that there are other ways we can spend our time. There are eco-systems of different communities taking place around us each day. Some of them operating within our neighbourhoods, entirely unbeknownst to us. Part of how we uncover some of these programs is through our active participation. Recognizing that being social, often extends beyond recreational, and if we find a niche that enables us, why not? It's often the paradox that we end up serving ourselves, the more we position ourselves to be of service to others. I can say personally, were it not for my own social participation and volunteer efforts, I wouldn't have known certain programs were available -- when I needed them the most.

Let Go of What Was Never in Your Realm of Control | Leveraging the Power Inherent In Your Reactions Extreme situations will teach you that not a lot is within your control. Often times we nourish this sense of control, and reinforce the belief that we're in control, because much of life tends to go as planned. What if I told you the best thing you can do is to liberate yourself from that belief? You increase your ability to be flexible and to adapt to any shift and change in circumstance, when you realize that the only area where self-mastery is required in this life is your reaction. We have control of how we respond and how we react to the challenges that we face in this life. The moment we spend less time focusing on external factors, and more time focusing on how we cultivate that inner governance - we increase our own odds of survival, and we change the game. I believe that this is the single most important factor that enabled me to survive four years of being stalked, terrorized and intimidated across Canada, and throughout several countries across the ocean, too.
