In a world that is ever changing, finding consistency, safety, and lasting peace is a challenge. We search in empty promises and in fickle actions to answer the question of “will this be okay?” and “am I enough?”... and it all leads us back to here. Where is here you may ask. Here is the present, the moment that elapses between a dream and the slow but somehow so sudden realization that you are awake and conscious. In that moment when reality kicks in, you may feel the weight of life settle in. ...

Doors remain closed to those who believe they lack the courage to open them. Feeling stuck, or fear, or hesitation before any decision is a sign we should never overlook. These reactions can collectively be referred to as “the resistance”. Hi! Thank you for tuning back in for the continuum of season 2 of the chaos behind clarity podcast. Sharing lessons as they are learned. As you may know, my name is Saloni, formally being trained as a dental student and also passionately pursuing life in areas...

“Achieving love” is therefore not some binary moment of starting and sustaining a relationship. It is following the turns that life takes you through and becoming someone who is safe, complete, warm and supportive, for yourself and those in your life. Love from others is not the end result. You yourself are the love, the embodiment of it. That being, you encompass this electric energy of a human being, one who is constantly unearthing layers of themselves and being a beacon of light for others. ...

As we all know, events can stray far from what we expected and, dare I say, even planned. Freedom therefore lies in the release of such expectations. It lies in knowing that our own minds are the only constant as the world and our day to day lives inevitably shift. I hope I am relaying the message too that grandeur and a “good life” per say are more than what money can afford. Therefore detachment from comfort, consistency and security is just as important a skill to adapt as detachment from soc...

I want us to break down friendships today. What is their birthplace? How do they evolve or break through time? How can you identify when they are hurting more than helping? And then lastly, how to let them go. Today we introduce one of the strongest supporters of this platform, a sweet, vivacious, and humorous beyond words guest. He is a fellow dental student but to an even deeper regard, a pillar of brilliance, humanity, and moral guidance, Beshoy Malk. Join us as we explore a highly requested ...

As you grow through the painfully difficult phases of life, you remind yourself that you are there for yourself. That in the darkness, just as much as in the light, you have and can continue to persevere by showing up and keeping the promises you are making.

Believing that at your core you are good and your intentions are pure is critical to peace of mind. We are bound to, in fact it is certain, we will make mistakes in our lives. We will hurt the ones we love, we will fall victim to our vices, we will manage to let our egos get the best of us. We shouldn’t apologize simply in order to place a bandage on a much deeper problem. Instead, we must take time to carefully unravel the issue. Saloni Host, The Chaos Behind Clarity Podcast @smilesbysaloni...

Coach Walsh is noted to have been one of the most influential figures of NFL history as he turned the San Francisco 49ers from the worst franchise in sports to a dynasty that crowds across the country admire. Amongst his many locker room best practices to his pregame field performance strategies, one of the most notable features of Walsh’s ways was his ability to clear out the noise. When and under what conditions do we perform the best? What clutter fills our minds? By which scorecard are we me...

Ridicule, judgment, misunderstandings, preconceived notions, pressured opinions, and unsolicited advice… all that can come … in fact it surely will… no matter what you are doing… no matter who you are or who you asked for guidance. Those things will come and they will continue to pour in as you journey on in life, taking on new roles and changes in lifestyle. But what is an absolute shame is the idea that one day you can wake up realizing that you allowed people and their way of thinking to clou...

If it is out of your hands, it deserves freedom from your mind too. Isn’t it strange how the deepest turmoil we will have in life is internal? It's the way we speak to ourselves, the way we critique our decisions and thoughts, and the way we tug on our own heart strings due to circumstances that are outside of our control. The stoics explain the simple concept that the one thing truly in our control is our mindset... let's dive into this! ~Saloni @smilesbysaloni

When what you do, say and think are not aligned, you can feel segregated from yourself. Your actions don’t follow the words you utter and your spirit doesn’t feel supported. I believe that the end of this suffering lies in defining who it is you are, deeply and innately, and then going out there and showing up as that person. Follow through, not because you feel less than, or because others didn’t do that for you or for even wanting to feel better… do it because that is who you are. ~Saloni @smi...

Where society misleads us is in believing that only the popularized method is considered “successful”, all else is a gamble. But really, not risking it, not pivoting, and not questioning is the gamble. The winding path there is the only way there, one where every decision is consciously made and not subconsciously pressured. ~Saloni Writer of @smilesbysaloni Host of @thechaosbehindclarity
