I have two guests for you. Starting off is Sourena Vassenghi, the incredible individual  who finds joy in life despite having cerebral palsy and being wheelchair-bound. Mr. Vassenghi is a parent and husband in addition to his duties as a writer and company entrepreneur. I also bring his closest companion, Chris Stevenson, who performs on stage with Sourena and speaks all over the world about customer service and the field of fitness.

Are you interested in setting better boundaries?  Have you been struggling with people-pleasing?  In this episode, we talk about how we can all live a life we love. Today, I talk with Susie Pettit. Susie has been helping women live lives they love for over 10 years. She is the host of the podcast Love Your Life Show and owner of the Wellness Company Strength: Mind & Body, LLC. She teaches firsthand about setting healthy boundaries, beating your inner critic, conscious parenting, and how to use mindfulness-based tools to beat overwhelm and anxiety. This is a powerful episode for anyone who struggles with what other people want from them. Questions I asked: How did you get started on this journey? How did you notice your struggles with people-pleasing and leave it behind? Why do we need to understand our reasoning for our co-dependency and other actions? How do our expectations go into co-dependency and boundaries? Why is it important to just start where you are? What are the roots of co-dependency? What's the name of your podcast? How do we avoid caring what other people think? Why is it so important to detach from our thoughts? How can we stop judging ourselves? Why do we benefit from just saying no? Tell everyone where they can find you online, and your Warrior group? Topics Discussed: People Pleasing. Boundary Setting. Loving Life. Co-Dependency. External validation. Self-Esteem. Healing from Trauma. Interdependency Your inner critic.

Jesus calls believers to deny themselves, take up their cross, and follow Him. But what does a life wholly yielded to God even look like in this day and age? It's marked by a willingness to: - Die to yourself - Trust God completely - Know His Word - Submit to His will - Point others to Jesus - Suffer for His name - Follow Christ alone - Love others selflessly We are unpacking all this and more this week on the Loving Life at Home Podcast. I hope you'll listen in and be encouraged.

Please prioritise your wellbeing and only listen if you feel resourced and safe to do so.About EchoI have been a seeker of sorts my entire life. I have spent countless years following an intuition somewhere deeply embedded within me that ushered me forward. My path was messy, unclear, and quite troubled. It was this way because my inner world was messy, unclear, and troubled. Through trial and error and a well of suffering, angst, and self-pity, I had a few wake-up calls that brought me out of my victimization and into conscious choiceful living.
I was deeply humbled in the darkest of my days. I can tell you about all of the education I have received, the trainings, the certifications, the programs, the retreats, and the therapy but what has shifted my life's direction is my desire.
My true desire to be a better person, a better lover, and a kinder and more responsible human within the global ecosystem.
That is what finally brought about change. Once I saw the suffering I was perpetuating within myself, and its effect on those closest to me I dove into "The Work" in the last several years it has been my guiding light.

In this latest episode of the Obi One Podcast, John Obi Mikel reunites with his former Nigeria team-mate and a man he considers his ‘little brother': Victor Osimhen. Things have changed dramatically for the 2023 African Footballer of the Year since we last caught up with him having swapped Napoli for Galatasaray.
