Hello, my brave soul. The time has come when I decided to say goodbye to podcasting for a while and focus on my writing instead. First, let me start by saying that I am beyond grateful for you, my dear listener who found my podcast helpful while always coming back for more. Although the journey of podcasting has been deeply rewarding for me, I decided to direct my attention to something I love the most - writing. Therefore, every Tuesday, I will publish blog posts with tools, tips, techniques, a...

A while ago, I watched an interview with Jay Shetty where he talked about detachment as stated in the Bhagavad Gita, a 700-verse Hindu scripture. He says that, “detachment is not that you own nothing. Detachment is that nothing owns you.” I find this one of the most accurate and simply understood definitions of detachment. Also, it is worth noticing things and people we are attached to and then asking ourselves:” What does this person, thing, or achievement represent for me?” It wasn't long ago ...

Healing and walking a spiritual path doesn’t mean you don’t face challenges or that this path is linear. Therefore, having spiritual tools in place is important to keep evoking the love within while shedding off anything that doesn’t serve you. Love is your ultimate superpower. It gives you the courage to take the brave step, softens your heart, and shows you what you are worth. I always looked at growth from two different angles. You either grow by life itself when things you don’t ask for or d...

When I found myself having Monday blues last week, this was the mindfulness tool I used to snap out of it while reminding myself of the true nature of my mind. There aren’t Monday blues, bad or good days, or happy Sundays (as people call it in America). The quality of our days, regardless of what day it is or what is happening around us depends on how aware we are and how well we manage our thoughts and emotions. This simple mindfulness tool is your internal resource available at all times and i...

Although healing childhood trauma is a challenging path to walk, it is also a path of deep fulfillment and self-love. When we become brave enough to look at our past and address earlier childhood experiences holding us back, we choose our destiny instead of settling for it. I’ve been healing my childhood trauma for a few years now. And although I have made significant progress, I still find myself emotionally relapsing while feeling paralyzed by fear and unease. It is one of the reasons why I de...

You can rewire your brain, change how you think and perceive life, and become in love with it by consciously choosing how you want to think. The moment you are born, your conscious mind isn’t formed yet, while the subconscious mind is fully open. Therefore, whatever you hear, see, experience, and perceive from that point gets stored in your subconscious. That’s where your mood, attitude, and personality form and then, often unconsciously, direct your life to this point. However, many things you ...

Since we tell ourselves affirmations all day, why not make them into positive affirmations that allow us to become who we want to be and attract things we want? There are two types of affirmations: conscious and unconscious. Unconscious affirmations are thoughts and beliefs that run on autopilot. Since we reinforce these statements in our minds many times, they become automatic. Often those are thoughts we don’t want to have but aren’t aware we have them. Conscious affirmations are positive affi...

Healing your inner child is about accessing the wounds or suppressed emotions while recognizing what parts of you need to be healed. It’s also about identifying different parts or versions of your little self and then healing them individually. You may have a version of your inner child that’s angry, one that feels unworthy, untrusting, or insecure. Attuning to each of them, giving them attention, validating their feelings, and loving them through it all is where deep healing happens. As childre...

Are you stuck on your healing path? Do you feel you’ve tried almost everything, but nothing quite works? Today, I am sharing my 3 most powerful spiritual practices that I used and continue using every day to heal and keep myself in balance. Daily spiritual practices are essential for anyone on a healing path. When we have a practice in place and stay committed to it, what we are saying is “I love me to take care of me.” Developing spiritual practices that work and coming back to them daily becam...

What if instead of focusing on what you want to accomplish externally, you look within and focus on who you need to become and how you can reinvent yourself to reach the healing, growth, and goals you desire? The external world can fall apart, but how you manage your internal system and the magnitude of your is something no one can take away from you. Inner resilience and self-belief rooted in self-trust are all you need when embarking on a committed spiritual path while transforming the subcons...

Beyond the tools and techniques we use to better self-regulate, there are 4 mindset shifts that create change on a level of perception. And as Wayne Dyer said, "When you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change." So often, women come to me and say, “I tried everything, but I feel stuck.” Often, it is one of these mindset shifts that they haven’t yet established. Although tools and exercises are essential for building a diverse self-care toolkit and raising awareness, when...

There is a quote from Swami Vivekananda that empowers me every time I read it. He says, “Tell your body that it is strong. Tell your mind that it is strong and have unbounded faith and hope in yourself.” That, to me, represents a deep sense of self-belief. Regardless of the circumstances we are brought up in, every single person can change their life and write their destiny by building a strong self-belief. Every belief you currently have (whether you consider it good or bad) is an accumulation ...

Healing with grace means honoring the stage of your growth while nurturing a sense of respect and meeting yourself where you are. Think about it - the number one reason you turn to emotional healing and spiritual growth is to experience more joy, happiness, and ease in your life. But how often do you end up entangled in this process: judging yourself for the slightest mistakes, striving for perfectionism, or feeling guilty because you aren’t meeting some unrealistic expectations? The most common...

When I say “feeling empowered’ - what comes to your mind? Living a life with no fear? Overcoming self-doubt? Setting boundaries? Not letting the opinions of others affect you? Or maybe something else? What if you can live your life in this place? One of the most inspiring things I understood about empowerment is that it comes from within and builds an immense level of self-respect. We feel empowered when we overcome our fears, heal a wound that has been there for a while, take a step while our l...

Can you eliminate all your negative thoughts for the rest of your life? Maybe not, but you can certainly manage them effectively. When you try to resent your negative thoughts, they often persist and become louder. Therefore the trick isn’t stopping your thoughts in track or exercising fake positivity (trust me, I tried, and it doesn’t work), but rather, not identifying with everything you think. Let’s say there is a limiting belief you adopted in your childhood which you label as negative. Sinc...

In this episode, we’ll dive into what it means to find the courage within you by confronting your fears and embracing living boundlessly. We both know that fear is real, no doubts about it. However, I refuse to sit here and accept that this is how “things are.” Are you with me? We were programmed to believe that living with anxiety is “normal” or that living with stress is “just’ a part of daily living. Both are a product of our fears about what may go wrong, whether we have what it takes, what ...

What if I tell you there is a simple way to retrain your mind while going about your day as usual? And what if I tell you that you can use my 3-step process to accomplish just that? If I ask you, “Who are you?” Would you be able to answer that? (spoiler alert: If you are not sure, that’s okay. Neither am I. But that’s beside the point). You may not know who you are, at least not just yet, but we both can agree you are NOT your mind - you HAVE a mind. Even better, we can think about your mind as ...

Self-validation allows us to acknowledge, feel and process our emotions, while self-responsibility is where we step out of victimhood and into our power. When you begin to look at any area of your life that is asking for healing, acknowledging what you feel is the first step. So often, we carry our pains silently because, as adults, aware only of our logical brain, we ridicule what our emotions try to tell us. Self-validation or validating our emotions means honoring what is there, without judgm...

Tune into this guided meditation to ease anxiety while embracing a safe space within you. Here is the thing, my friend. At what point in our lives have we accepted that living with this fearful feeling lingering in the back of our mind is normal? Whether it is because of the negative information we mindlessly consume or the dysregulated nervous system, is this the only way to "do life?" Learning to self-regulate while managing your thoughts and emotions is a useful skill to acquire during your h...

In today’s episode, I will be sharing five powerful coaching questions that transformed not only my life but also the lives of my clients, and I hope they will do the same for you. We all have what I call blind spots. These are things others may see, but we are blind to them. It often happens when we are in the arena, dealing with the rawness of life while trying to figure out and handle things in the best way possible. The power of coaching questions is to uncover these blind spots, give us mor...

How can we cultivate heartfelt emotions and use them to heal ourselves and build more resilience? When we live in a state of fear, our hearts are closed, and our nervous system spends most of the time in a fight or flight mode. We feel less energy, and although we wake up every morning and do the things we have to, it may feel as if we are not living. When we begin opening our hearts to life and embracing heartfelt emotions like joy, compassion, forgiveness, gratitude, or even deep sadness, we w...

About three years ago, I was a member of a coaching group with Jay Shetty, and we were covering a forgiveness month. One of the things he did with us was a mindfulness exercise on self-forgiveness. I remember closing my eyes and saying, “I forgive myself.” The moment I spoke these words out loud, I started crying and couldn’t participate anymore. Therefore, I had to finish the session on replay. This experience was a profound moment of realizing how much guilt and self-judgment we hold and how l...

During my yoga studies in India, I learned techniques for better mind management to regulate my emotional state with more calm and consideration. Today, I want to share a mindfulness exercise to help you do the same. Although I don’t want to go too philosophical on you here, I believe our mind often runs on old “software” - a program full of limiting beliefs or habits we acquired. Therefore if we identify with what we think, it becomes quite difficult to heal ourselves, especially when thoughts ...

If you want to change your life, whether to heal your past or transform your current situation, do it by training yourself to manage your thoughts effectively. Since your thoughts create your feelings and your feelings drive your actions, your life is a result of what you think all day long. Therefore, to make sustainable changes and live life on your terms, you must go back and address the source - your MIND. To take the overwhelm out of the picture by trying everything while seeing minimal res...

We don’t heal through judgment while inflicting more guilt on ourselves for the choices we make. We do it by understanding what happened to us and taking responsibility for our healing by consciously changing our self-sabotaging habits. For most of us, the results of our survival mechanism won’t make lots of sense to our adult logical selves. Self-betrayal or self-sabotage is, in fact, the protective mechanism our brain developed to ensure our survival. Pondering the question, “what happened to ...

Is there such a thing as knowing too much? Can we miss out on profound moments of healing and growth because we try to crack the complex code of our mental and emotional recovery while overlooking the simplicity of this process? In today’s episode, I will take you back to the basics of what it means to transform your life and heal your past one thought at a time. Although disciplining your mind may not be easy at first, cultivating this practice can lead to less anxiety, a healthier and more tru...

How do you make yourself feel good when facing challenging times, and do you even allow yourself to feel good in the first place? Today’s podcast episode was inspired by my past 2 weeks when I felt like I was on an emotional rollercoaster while struggling to find any inner balance or peace. I realized how my spiritual practice allowed me to get through these weeks with more calm and ease and reminded me how important it is to have habits, tools, and techniques in place when facing those difficul...

A couple of weeks ago, I published my first self-love meditation to heal your inner child. Since many of you enjoyed it, I decided to create a little bit longer meditation for self-soothing and bringing more joy and inner peace into your life. This is a great meditation if you need a little more care and a little more nurturing. “It’s not through healing that you will love yourself. It’s through loving yourself that you will heal.” Finding comfort in meditation Although there are many different ...

You come into this world as a super cute, adorable, perfect, playful, lovable, and carefree baby. Your soul is pure and your heart wide open. But then… Life happens. Suddenly you find yourself in your adulthood, considering whether you should get a therapist, move to California, go to one of the anonymous meetings or lie to yourself and pretend that everything is fine. Since you are here, I assume you want to change your life and how you feel. If that is the case, I encourage you, with all my he...
