This episode was recorded June 2023 and was in my drafts. I started listening to it 2 days after the US election results and a lot of things I mentioned in this episode applies to what is happening today! Take a listen and ask yourself, what am I manifesting today? Enjoy

How we view and perceive things is very important in the evolution of our life.

Your Vulnerability Is Your Strength! Part 2

There is strength when you share your vulnerable experiences! Tap into your power by speaking about the weakest parts of your self!

Live in Love, Not Fear!!

You are enough. You are perfect!

This episode is powerful to me. I discuss the how to look through a lens of compassion instead of pity for those who has harmed or cause great pain to us. We must remember that hurt people, hurt people and when we see through a lens of compassion, we can begin the process of healing not only ourselves but others as well. Compassion leads to forgiveness but it also allows us to set boundaries for ourselves.

I'm a world that feels less connected and void of love, I wanted to talk about some key values that can help with these issues. Compassion and empathy are the key at this point of our life journey! They help us evolve and grow and allows us to connect and love again!

You have a voice to make a difference right now. In this episode, I speak about some important points on why we should use the uniqueness of our voice to make a positive impact on the world around us!

What are you manifesting in your life? Sometimes we experience unexpected situations that makes us extremely happy or extremely sad! I look at my life as a manifestation of my destiny! Sometimes things happens to bring us back to the present moment to reminds us how powerful we are as well as how powerless we could be! It's about surrendering to life and all it has to offer and in the middle of letting go, we leave room to manifest the greatest life lesson we need to shift up on the path of our destiny! Today, I am asking you, what are you manifesting?

In this episode I talk about how you can turn a negative emotion to something positive. An emotion like anger and bring a negative experience. Why not be aware of what you are angry about and transmute the energy into a passionate outcome. I am becoming more aware of what makes me angry and I am on a mission to make impactful changes by using my voice, my experiences and my resources to change the world around me. Listen in and hear how I am turning my anger into passion.

In this episode, I talk about owning your own lane by remembering who your are, recognizing your natural gifts and abilities and using them to be of service. When you own your lane, you don't have to compete. You don't have to compare yourself to others. You don't have to shrink yourself and put others on a pedestal. When you own your lane, you are confident and powerful and your creativity emerge from deep within. Own your lane and walk with purpose!!

You must be aware of the fact that you have a choice to write your own story. Either write it or someone else will take the pen and write it for you. Do you live your life based on the opinions and beliefs of others or your own? Take a deep dive and look over your life, are you happy with where you are? If not? This is an opportunity to hold the pen and starting from now, begin the journey of writing your own story!! Make all your dreams and wishes come through by playing an active role in your destiny! Enjoy this episode!!

In this episode, I talk about recognizing and acknowledging your self worth. It took me many years to see my worth and value and sometimes I still have to talk myself into getting what I want or even saying “thank you” when someone compliments me or give me something. I never knew how to take a compliment or accept gifts because I was the one doing those things for others. When I start telling myself and seeing myself as worthy of all that I have, I started manifesting more. Everything that I wanted started showing up in my life. Listen in as I talk about your worth, your value and how you are an asset in people's lives.

In this episode, I talk about how I'm recognizing and remembering that my outside world is a reflection of my inside world and that every person that appears in my life is a mirror of me. Whether conscious or unconscious, the experiences with the people are a magnet pulled to us to help us grow and evolve. Reflect back on all the people that appeared in your life and ask yourself what did you learn from them? More than likely, those people that was in front of you was a mirror. Listen in and tell me if this conversation resonates with you.

In this episode, I talk about planting seeds and what you sow, you will reap. What thoughts are you thinking? What are you feeding yourself? Is your life where you want it to be? If no, then what seeds are you planting inside? Know that you are born with a seed of greatness and you must water and feed the greatness that is you. Knowing that you are gifted beyond measure and you have the ability to change your life with the powerful gifts that are planted inside of you. Listen as I speak about the seeds that I am planting inside of me and how I am reaping the rewards of what God has awarded me.

In this episode, I talk about the possibilities that are open for you to learn, grow and evolve from. Knowing that all that you are and all that you want is possible brings hope and optimism. Ever heard the saying “nothing is new under the sun”? To me this means all things are possible because anything you may have thought about already exist. Listen in as I talk about all of the possibilities that are there for you to explore.

In this episode, I talk about recognizing that you are a piece of the bigger puzzle. When you know that you belong, no matter where you are in life, you start appreciating and being grateful for your journey more. Know that your uniqueness is needed now more than ever and that you don't have to be anyone else or be influence outside of who you are. Are you forcing yourself to fit in where you don't belong? In your relationship, job or environment? If it's not a perfect fit, then it's not for you (yet). Whatever you are doing in life should feel safe not forced. Listen in as I talk about how I've started to fit into the bigger puzzle after I stopped forcing myself to be someone I was not.

I'm this episode, I talk about remembering who you are through your purpose. Your purpose is to live an authentic life by loving who you are and being the example of what learning, growing and evolving looks like. Your purpose is to stop blaming others for where you are at in your life and start holding yourself accountable for your thoughts, your words and your actions. Your purpose is to accept that you are playing a major role in the creation of your life and you have a choice to make the best decision that is best for you. Listen in as I talk about what my purpose is and why it's important to remember what your purpose is.

In this episode, I talk about reflecting back on your life journey and being inspired by all that you have achieved!! As I self reflect, I am beyond inspired by how far I have come. Forgiving and accepting all that I am and seeing possibilities instead of lack is a huge accomplishment. Since 2018, I started a journey to remember who I am and from them until now, I am so much more confident and stronger than I was! My progress has inspired to continue going. Listen in as I speak about my progress and how you should be inspired by yours.

In this episode, I decided to talk about how we need to see ourselves as a gift to this world. With so much going on in our lives, taking a moment to appreciate and love who we are in the moment allows us to see our value and how impactful we are in each other's life. Listen in as I tell you why I think you are a gift to this world and why I think this planet needs your awesomeness now more than ever.

In this episode, I talk about how being fearless will help you accomplish all your dreams and desires!! There's one thing that keeps showing up whenever I'm about to do something new…FEAR!! Fear stops me from taking the next step outside the box. Fear is False Evidence Appearing Real so whenever it raise it's head now, I look and see where it's coming from. I observe and analyze it and then I just let it go and step outside the box anyway. When I do step outside, great things happens for me! Don't let fear stop your from reaching your destiny!! You are worthy of the best life. Always remember that perfect love cast out fear. Also where God is there is no fear! Trust that you will be always supported in everything you do and you will achieve your goals. Listen in as I talk about being fearless and jor you can be today!

Here are 2 episodes I recorded earlier this week for the podcast! In the first episode, I talk about how believing in yourself will help you manifest and achieve your dreams and goals. Believing in your value, your worth and knowing that you are a powerful, limitless being will align you with all that you want and also help you on this life journey. In episode 2, As You are, You Become, I talk about the realities that you are creating for yourself. Whatever you believe about yourself, you become. This is an opportunity to observe your thoughts, words and your action and completely get to know yourself. I started a journey to get to know myself a couple of years ago and it's the most rewarding adventure that I am on. So many ups and downs but in all of it, my authenticity stands out now more than ever.

In this episode, I talk about how I became present to guilt in my life and how I began letting go of the guilt that was crippling me and preventing me from moving forward on this life journey. Listen in as I discuss how I began to heal my guilt through forgiveness and acceptance.

Learning to love myself more and more has helped me to step outside the box and explore who I really am. Loving myself enough has allowed me to ask the questions that need to be asked and getting the answers that will help you on this life journey. Loving yourself enough gives you a different perspective and it allows you to be grateful for this life experience. Listen in to hear how I love myself enough!

In this episode, I talk about coming to the full realization that hurt people really do hurt people. Even something that we think is innocent or harmless can really hurt someone and that hurt can stay with them for a lifetime. Something that you may have forgotten may have stayed with someone else and change the whole course of their lives. Imagine, one action changing someone's life in an instant and you don't even realize. Saying or doing something to an innocent child can cause harm generations later. Listen in as I talk about this topic and hear my perspective on it! Enjoy

In this episode, I talked about returning to the version of you that was authentic and real! As we grow and evolve, we learn new things about ourselves based on the experiences we manifest! Sometimes in our evolution, we need to take a time out to reflect back from where we came from to where we are today. Taking that time out is an opportunity to quiet our minds and connect back to our innocence. That innocence is voiceless and noiseless. That silence speaks to you in a way that will help you evolve even more! Listen in as I talk about what going back to basics means to me.

In this episode, I talked about how I found more love in my grieving. My grandmother died in February and I'm in the middle of the grieving process. It's been a little hard but I'm becoming present to the fact that I found love in my grief! Listen in as I explain how I found this love.

In this episode, I talk about how forgiveness and acceptance are the keys that we need to truly heal and evolve as human beings.

In this episode, I talk about the tests and lessons I've learned on my life journey. We are tested each and every day and we must always be present in our reality to make sure we are always leading by love instead of fear. It is by love and faith that I've come so far and I am so grateful for each and every experience because it made me who I am. I am not ashamed or embarrassed about my lived experience, I am inspired by it. Listen in as I talk about my tests and how I am using them to testify about the greatness of GOD!!

In this episode, I talk about how we are awakening to your purpose on this life journey. What I realize for myself is that there is not just one purpose I am here at this time for, there are many. The most important purpose is to be my true authentic self. As I remember who I am and connect to my inner being, I am realizing the depth of my soul is love. I was created my a power of Love so Love is my birthright! When I am embodying Love, I am inspired by life. I am purpose-driven and inspired. Join me as I talk about how you can awaken to your purpose.

In this episode, I talk about surrendering and allowing life to naturally flow. We all want to control our life when making decisions but sometime we need to just let go and let God. When we try to control an outcome or put expectations on an experience, the result might lead to disappointment. When we surrender, something magical happens. Our spirit responds with an inner calling. When you get the calling, you must take a leap and have faith that what you are doing will be for your highest good. Listen in as I talk about how I surrendered and what happened when I did.

In this episode, I talk to my friend Caren about her life journey and how she dealing with her cancer diagnosis.

Our talk teaches about the value of compassion and how we can use it to heal ourselves and others. Join me as Caren truly opens up and take us on her journey from beginning to this present moment.

Join me for this week's episode of Values Over Vanity. In this episode, I talk about why giving up on your goals and dreams is NOT an option. It is ok pause, reflect and reset your goals and their outcomes but never give up on them because you started them for an important reason. From my personal experiences, when I give up on something that was important to me, I felt like I betrayed myself. I felt like I let myself down and the energy that surrounded me was that of not being good enough or strong enough. I was beating myself up and then what I was projecting onto others was my own hurt. In life, we must be present to why we started in the first place. Why did we set the goal, why did we have the dream? Is it authentic to us? When we remove the doubts and fears from our lives and let go of the external noise, we can complete our goals. Listen in as I take you on a journey and tell you why giving up is never an option.

Join me for this week's episode of Values Over Vanity.  In this episode, I talk about the power of our thoughts and how we create our reality from them.  We must recognize that each and every one of us have a world view with different perspectives.  The world we create is the one we think we see, believe and know to be true to us.  We create the rights and wrongs in our lives and we have an expectation/idea that this is what others should follow as well. Everyone of us is different but we have the same values. Based on our life experience, we base these values on how we were raised, the environment we are in and outside influences.  We strive for that perfection that we were conditioned to believe and if we don't meet that perfection, we then judge ourselves and others.  We also create stories about ourselves and other people based on those judgements.  The solution is to recognition how powerful our thoughts are and to be always aware of how you think. Start thinking and creating the world filled with love and compassion. Listen in and see if you can relate to this message.

In this episode, I talk about the download I got while meditating this week. The message I got was to look for the opportunity in the midst of the chaos. Looking for the light in the darkness, the lesson in the madness, the breakthrough in the breakdown. We all are on this life journey together and if we don't start learning the lessons from our past, we will continue repeating the test until we finally get it right. Looking back over my life, there were many red flags that I ignored and the only way I was able to move forward, was I had to stop and learn from the experience. The reason we keep repeating cycles is because we miss the lesson. We missed the opportunity in the chaos, in the argument, in the accident, in the sickness. We must remember who we are by reflecting over our life and seeing what we have learned. I've come to realized because of my past experience that I am powerful, limitless, passionate, strong, resilient, compassionate and very patient, to name a few. I believe in the midst of this pandemic with Covid-19, we will learn a lot about ourselves and we have truly began the process of healing.

In this episode, I talk about some of my limiting beliefs and how I'm learning to reprogram my thoughts so that I can be limitless in my approach to life. We all have some form of limiting belief about ourselves. Whether it's not feeling good enough or that we can't do something or make a change. We are given second chances to create new beliefs and go after our dreams. Listen in as I give you my perspective about limiting beliefs and second chances!! Enjoy!!

In this episode, I talk about being honest with yourself and others. Looking at yourself and looking at the world and admitting that we need to be the change we want to see in ourself and the world around us. We must not being afraid of ourselves, of our power and start remembering who we are as an individual and as a collective. We must stop giving our power away. Stop being influenced, conditioned and control and start to being the person we are destined to be. Faith over Fear. Love Over Hate. Unity Over Divide. Recognize that honesty is the best policy for ourself and others.

In this episode, I talk about how we can see ourselves as a reflection of each other. Recognizing that most, if not all of us want the same thing. Love, peace, joy, bliss, security, stability etc. Our experiences might be unique to us but our common goal in life is the same. We need to find common ground and figure out how we can all achieve what all of us want. Listen in as I talk about how we can put ourselves in each other shoes.

In this episode, I talk about revealing what you are running from so that we can heal what's hurting us! In life, we all have something that we are trying to avoid. Something that happened to us that was traumatic, painful or hurtful. I've come to realize that dealing with the issue upfront, even if it happened in our childhood, helps heal it and allows us to just live in peace. What we run from, runs after us. Stopping and actually looking at it for what it was helps you heal it. Looking at it through a different lens, heals it. Taking what's hurting and turning it into purpose helps!! Let your lived experiences be you testimony!!!

In this episode, I talk about the new docuseries that Oprah and Prince Harry produced. I watched it on AppleTV and the stories and experiences really resonated with it! It's a mental health/illness docuseries and it was very informative and well done. I've been having some downloads about mental illness and covid and I believe that we are facing a crisis with issue. We all have to take a step back and look at ourselves and start asking if we are ok. Listen in as I talk about this series and how I think we can start the process of helping each other through healing!

In this episode, I talk about testing positive for covid 19 and my recovery. In life, I truly come to realize everything happens for a reason. We can try to control everything but really and truly, you can't control what is meant to happen. For me, I tried to be so careful with everything surrounding Covid. My mom is an essential worker and I wanted to make sure that I was doing my part to not add any issues to her work environment. I only left home for essential shopping. I social distance, wore a mask and had sanitizer all over the place. I felt like I followed all the guidelines that was necessary and I still picked up the virus. Listen in as I tell you about my daughter's and my journey from testing positive to getting a clean bill of health!! Thank you God for an experience that I will never forget and that I can use to help ppl truly start living!
