“Plant seeds of happiness, hope, success, and love; it will come back to you in abundance, this is the law of nature.” - Steve Maraboli “Love makes the world go round,” this is a song that musicians like Deon Jackson, Bob Merrill, Jennifer Lopez, and others have used for their original creations, each one demonstrating the fact that love is indeed a powerful force. It has the strength to push us forward and bind us together, but lack of it can break us and leave us lost in darkness. However, it is not enough to simply love those around us, for the magic lies in achieving the balance between loving oneself and loving others. This is what today’s episode is all about, the ninth part of a series of podcasts with the theme of Where You Are Is Not Who You Are. This is an important subject that continues to grow as we delve deeper into it. We invite you to be part of our conversations. We want to help and guide you on your own epic adventure - your journey within. It is now time to move from where you are and find

“Whether we realize it or not, it is our woundedness, or how we cope with it, that dictates much of our behavior, shapes our social habits, and informs our ways of thinking about the world.” - Gabor Maté Where are you in your life right now? Is it where you really want to be? Do you know your true value? We have been doing a deep dive into the very important subject of where you are, is not who you are, for several months now. Some of you may feel overwhelmed and think that it is impossible to move through your devastating circumstances. Therefore, I have decided to share my story and give you a glimpse of where I am in my life right now. I hope to inspire and prove to you that no matter how challenging your situation is, you can overcome it. I want to help and guide you as you maneuver along the path you must take.  You can transcend to be better than where and who you were.

“Vision without action is merely a dream. Action without vision just passes the time. Vision with action can change the world.” - Joel A. Barker It is the second week of the new year and to make it more meaningful we are going to dive deeper into the theme of where you are is not who you are. This is the eighth part of this series. The focus of this episode is on the importance of having a vision, being more intentional, and investing in yourself. We will also discuss how you can push yourself to be the person you want to be despite the challenging circumstances you are in. We all know that life is difficult. Each of us goes through different seasons in our lives and if we do not manage ourselves well, we will become victims of the situations we are in. Therefore, we must know how to overcome these conditions to have a better life and be better than who we currently are. Who we are must reign supreme and be driven by commitment, and love of self and others. Join us on this insightful journey. Your future star

“The power to distinguish between person and performance and to communicate intrinsic worth flows naturally out of our own sense of intrinsic worth.” - Stephen Covey It is the beginning of another year and, for most of us, this is the season to set resolutions. However, the best way to start is to pause, reflect on, and be who you really are. That is what matters most. When we have a deeper sense of who we are, we become more intentional and perform better. Being more comfortable with our true selves enables us to deal with life events at a higher level.   Life is going to be more challenging. Now is the time to get to know yourself at your core and tap into your potential. Come and join us today as we delve further into part 7 of a series of podcasts about where you are, it's not who you are. Realise the distinction between performance and identity, as well as the importance of mindfulness.  Learn to look at the experience of being you from a different perspective. Understand how to have a deeper appreciati

“Our brains become magnetized with the dominating thoughts which we hold in our minds, and by means with which no man is familiar, these “magnets” attract to us the forces, the people, the circumstances of life which harmonize with the nature of our dominating thoughts.” - Napoleon Hill We are now on the sixth episode in a series of themed podcasts that started several weeks ago. This subject of “where you are is not who you are” will go on for a few more weeks as there is more learning to unravel. For today’s subtopic, we are going to dive into how to manage and avoid being defined by uncontrollable, challenging situations in our lives. We will also touch on distinguishing between the significant and the dominant narratives and, more importantly, having the ability to choose what must dominate. Events we cannot control often leave us stuck and diminish opportunities for growth. However, we have the power to decide and lean into the essence of who we really are. Who are you at your core? If you feel like you

“Between stimulus and response, there is a space. In that space is our power to choose our response. In our response lies our growth and our freedom.” - Viktor Frankl Our podcast has been revolving around the theme that Where You Are Is Not Who You Are for more than a month now. In fact, this is the fifth episode of the series and there are more to follow. Although we have had so many conversations on this very important subject, plenty of insights remain to be uncovered as we delve deeper into each discussion. We present you with different perspectives to help you on your journey of self-discovery and growth. You do not have to be who you are currently being. You can transcend the patterns and regularities that your experiences have created in your life.  Do not blame nor shame yourself, because you have the strength to survive. Opportunities are waiting for you. All you need is to be more aware and intentional about who you truly are. We are here to support you. You can make a difference. Highlights: ⚡️ You

“What is necessary to change a person is to change his awareness of himself.” - Abraham Maslow We are now on the fourth episode in a series of podcasts that revolves around the theme of where you are, not who you are. We are continuing this very important subject because most of us are defined by our circumstances as we live in this status-driven world. However, we have the choice and capability to overcome our challenging situations. We have the power to be who we are meant to be and do what we love by recognizing and celebrating our own unique identity as well as sharing it with others, even when they have their views and values. Each of us is different. Only you can explore your onliness from your perspective. Recognizing and celebrating each other’s individuality without losing the essence of who you are is key to living harmoniously. There is more to life than being where you are. Knowing thyself is a constant journey. It is time for you to explore, learn, and listen to the unique voice within you. Highl

“Challenges make you discover things about yourself that you never really knew.” - Cicely Tyson Today’s episode is the third part of a series of podcasts that revolves around the theme of where you are, not who you are.

This time I am going to openly talk about my journey to rediscovering and gaining a stronger understanding of who I truly am. I will also tell the story I am currently creating and the difficulties I encountered along the way.  Join me as I unfold my raw authentic self to give you insights and help you realise that where you are is not who you are. There is more to you.  The journey within is not the easiest, but Dr. Ray Sylvester and I are here to support you wherever you are, whoever you are. Reach out to us.

The initial post came out two weeks ago. You can go back to it by clicking the link.  ↪️ PART 1  This is one of the most significant topics I have discussed. The themed podcast is an organic conversation between Dr. Ray Sylvester and I on where you are and how your path shapes who you are. We cannot ignore where we are, therefore, we all need to pause to reflect on it and, more importantly, on who we are, because circumstances must not define us. They are only part of us. Where we are is only temporary. There is more to us than what we have been through. We can create better things with what we have. We can overcome our challenging situations to reveal more about ourselves. I invite everyone to listen. We are here for you. We want to be part of your journey. Highlights: ⚡️ Getting power from where we are limits us. ⚡️ We have pe

“You are what you are, and you are where you are because of what has gone into your mind. You change what you are, and you change where you are by changing what goes into your mind.” - Zig Ziglar Who are you? Where are you? When was the last time you asked yourself these are two important questions? Are you happy with where you are? Take a pause and think about who you truly are. What value do you bring to this world? Have you allowed yourself to be defined by the situation you are in? Circumstances can change. You have the power to alter where you are by knowing your true self. However, peeling back the layers of yourself and getting out of the impostor syndrome is challenging.   Listen in to this game-changing episode and learn to discover the real you.

“Success isn’t always about greatness. It’s about consistency. Consistent hard work leads to success. Greatness will come.” - Dwayne Johnson Have you been struggling with life’s challenges? Do you feel like things will not improve? Do not lose hope. You can live a happier, more fulfilling life. Tune in and discover how. Dr. Ray Sylvester and I will dive into the power that lies within us. Our ability to be consistent in the way we deliver and want to show up in the world is key. Consistency in our internal and external states leads to our betterment. Many people who have succeeded externally first achieved it internally. Inward success comes from being consistent with how we see ourselves and taking time for ourselves.  Think about what would happen if we became more consistent and intentional in certain areas and activities of our lives. Would it not make the greatest changes we have been dreaming of? The world could be better. We can all coexist harmoniously. Highlights: ⚡️ Consistency is being mindful of t

“Your hardest times often lead to the greatest moments of your life. Keep going. Tough situations build strong people in the end.” - Roy Bennett Are you facing the greatest challenge of your life right now? Have you succumbed to it thinking there is no way of surpassing its overwhelming gravity? Adversity is part of life. It makes us grow stronger and helps us become better human beings. We should not allow ourselves to be defeated by it. We can overcome every difficulty if we choose and decide to do so. This is exactly what my guest today has done. In this episode, I will be speaking to Jose Pereira, a former CEO who has survived one of the most unimaginable difficulties that could happen in life. He was part of the CITGO 6, a group of executives who were held captive in Venezuela for five years. His phenomenal story is one you should not miss. Listen in.

“Keep your mind open to change all the time. Welcome it. Court it. It is only by examining and reexamining your opinions and ideas that you can progress” - Dale Carnegie It is the start of a new season. This is our 501st episode. Dr. Ray Sylvester and I encourage you to join us as we continue with our weekly deep philosophical conversations to give you insights as well as opportunities to do things differently and overcome life’s challenges. Today we are going to delve further into the concept of being open to everything attached to nothing. This is another important idea that can make our lives better. Although change is constant and inevitable, most of us are still quite not receptive to it. We fear the uncertainties it brings and when this happens, we limit ourselves to remain in the state we are currently in. We lose the opportunities to discover new things or form new relationships. We fail to live happier. The good thing is there is a way around this. Listen in and find out how life can be more fulfilli

“There is no greater gift you can give or receive than to honor your calling. It’s why you were born. And how you become most truly alive.” - Oprah Winfrey

“Develop an attitude of gratitude, and give thanks for everything that happens to you, knowing that every step forward is a step towards achieving something bigger and better than your current situation.” - Brian Tracy Have you joined our gratitude challenge? Have you stopped today and intentionally spent time thinking about what you are thankful for? Gratitude is a decision. It is consciously deciding to deliberately focus on the things we are grateful for. One of the most compassionate things we can do is to appreciate who we are. Being grateful has numerous benefits, but it is sometimes a difficult attitude to develop because, as humans, it is very easy for us to be hard on ourselves. We often dwell on our regrets, mistakes, and the feeling of not being good enough. That is why Dr. Ray Sylvester and I encourage you to listen to today’s episode as we further delve into the topic of gratitude. We want to give you different perspectives to help you make up your mind and act better. You always have an opportu

Why don’t you stop for a moment and spend only 2 percent of your day listening to today’s episode? Dr. Ray Sylvester and I will dive more into appreciation and gratitude. We will give you insights on how you can be thankful amidst the most challenging situation in your life. Suffering does not have to define you. It is only a season in your life. You can learn to rejoice in it by stopping, getting a new perspective, and appreciating the things around you. You can be grateful for more things than you think.

“He who is not courageous enough to take risks will accomplish nothing in life.” - Muhammad Ali Courage is the greatest of all virtues that makes our lives better. However, it is also the most difficult to muster, especially in a world full of prejudice. Today, I will be interviewing a person who has faced and managed fear to be who he truly is.

“Gratitude is the healthiest of all human emotions. The more you express gratitude for what you have, the more likely you will have even more to express gratitude.” - Zig Ziglar Have you had time today to reflect and be thankful for everything that has happened to you and everything you have? How has being grateful made you feel? Gratitude is a very empowering emotion that makes life better. It positively changes your perspective. Studies have shown that depression, anxiety, sleeplessness, and heart disease can all be alleviated by being grateful. But how can we be thankful amidst all the negativity, difficulties, and losses that we face?   Tune in and find out as Dr. Ray Sylvester and I will talk more on this matter as well as about the insights we have gained from intentionally creating stopping moments in our lives.

“Your vision will become clear only when you can look into your own heart. Who looks outside, dreams; who looks inside, awakes.” - Carl Jung Have you been wondering what the journey within looks like? Is there a definite way to follow to put your best self forward? In today’s episode, I encourage you to spend three percent of your day on a voyage with Dr. Ray Sylvester and me as we explore this matter. Being intentional and mindful has never been more important, as we are dealing with more information now than in previous times. There are so many things going on externally in the world that most of us have become unaware of the narrative and have created an imbalance between serving our own self and serving others. It is time to stop, accumulate insights, and be the best you can be. Highlights: ⚡️ Spending our backstage preparing for social interaction leads to an imbalance; people-pleasing and not being our authentic self. ⚡️Many of our decisions are made by the conscious part of the brain and are driven b

“The natural healing force within each one of us is the greatest force in getting well. Our food should be our medicine. Our medicine should be our food.” - Hippocrates Good health is key to living better, but why do many of us choose to ignore it? For most people, it takes a diagnosis or prognosis before they make well-being a priority. You do not need to suffer from a debilitating disease. If you are currently afflicted with one or simply want to enhance your health, then I urge you to spend three percent of your day listening to this episode. Today I will be talking to two of the best health practitioners, Christian Bates, and Dr. Bob Rakowski to give you new perspectives.
