As we continue the deep journey of self-awareness and knowledge, are we cultivating the reality of our heart's desire?

What gets your blood pumping, eyes dilated, gives you butterflies, and becomes timeless when you’re doing it? Mind, body, and spirit activation aligned through passion, purpose, and passion. The key...

Removing all titles, exterior identifiers of ourselves, and egotistical thoughts, we are left with our pure essence, awareness, and consciousness. In this state, we realize that we are pure energy. We are timeless, limitless, and never-ending. Energy does not die; it simply changes form; it’s transferred. So here we are having this experience in these bodies; we get one body and one go at this life. As we continue our Hero’s journe...

The difference between your visions, dreams and desires manifesting into your reality is discipline. Discipline is connected and supported by so many layers, Self-love, adaptability, mindset, focus, fortitude, consistency and vision to name a few. In this episode we reframe discipline exploring our own personal relationship with it. It is in direct correlation to how we feel and think about ourselves, and our level of awareness. Ar...

One of the most powerful things we can ever experience is self-redemption. We battle in our heads, “I want to be and do better “. Often, we are frozen without action. Cultivating redemption brings internal liberation, higher awareness & consciousness. For this to be synchronistic in our lives, we must desire to be truth seekers and self-accountable. We reach the point internally where we know and are willing to face the moment ...

Understanding the long dark night is one of those “you had to be there moments”. We just came off such an amazing natural high, feeling connected to ourselves and everything outside of ourselves. Visions, downloads and feeling pure bliss connected to God. The next step is here, view it as a marker in the unfolding of the process to spiritual awakening. The long dark night is the death of the ego, not that it disappears. This realit...

I forgive you. For some, it is difficult to verbalize and truly mean it. Compassion, empathy, and healing are all tied to forgiveness. The most important relationship we will ever have is with ourselves; forgiving ourselves is key. We think about forgiving someone and are hit with internal resistance; this is our ego holding on to the feeling, pain, and moment. This is where the ego gets its power. Healing and forgiveness remove ou...

I am now responsible for my life. How many of us can honestly claim ownership of this statement? Taking full responsibility for every aspect of our lives is incredibly empowering! To achieve this mental reality, we must be rigorously honest about what has happened and where we currently stand. As we continue to map out our reality, clarity and self-accountability begin to merge with our vision. If we are unaware, how can we take ac...

We wake up one day and think, “How did I get here?” “What happened”? To understand our current reality and ourselves and how all our relationships unfold, we plot out our childhood realities in detail as we understand them. As we lay our understanding out visually, the picture takes shape. We can see the road map that has shaped our perspective, perception, and reality. This can be a very uncomfortable process, but it’s crucial in ...

Thinking of our past can make us cringe or smile with humility and gratitude. This depends on where we are in our healing journey and the perspectives and perceptions gained. Do you think the way you did 15 years ago, with the same thoughts, perspectives, and desires? Most of us would lean to no; we change, be it ever so subtle, no matter how much we resist. Change is the only constant; we see it all around us if we are detail-focu...

It all begins in our minds. As we continue to reflect, we see the importance of our own mental health and mindset. Recovery and prevention are the drivers for a healthy growth mindset. The power of our own awareness reveals lingering internal unresolved, unhealed perceptions, moments, and feelings needing our attention. We all have that nagging feeling of things that need to be addressed internally. It is very challenging to be ful...

Tapping into beast mode requires us to release the idea of caring what others think in judgment. We must fully engage with our wide-eyed, growling, and laser-focused inner beast. In this mindset, we are unapologetically in a state of battle you vs. you. Pushing ourselves past our comfort zone into the uncomfortable creates growth. We can see what we are truly made of in this awkward zone. Nothing else matters, but this rep in this ...

From episode one, we have been cultivating ourselves internally, setting the stage for this very moment! Now, my friends, it’s time to tap into the fountain of youth. Think back to when you were 7 years old and the endless energy you had; you could barely sleep some nights. This limitless energy is still inside of us. The key to unlocking it is to push our bodies using the mental cultivation acquired. Mind, body, and spirit must be...

This episode lays out the importance of digging deeper into our hero’s journey and checking the vitality of our own internal wellness.

We must sit with it and process it. Making the time to be present in nature soothes our spirits and revitalizes us. We know i...

How would you rate the quality of your overall life? Our programming as kids has tremendous relation to our core beliefs or lack thereof. Our thoughts and reasoning patterns lead to our reactions and actions. The quality of what is going on internally inside each of us determines what we push out to the world. It is our duty and responsibility to remove the clutter and chaos internally, allowing space for flow and the whispers of G...

Champions aren’t born, they are forged through dedication, purpose, meaning, with resolve through the trials and tribulations of life. This path can be achieved by anyone as these attributes are all internal. Where the mind goes the body follows. Maybe you’ve heard the term “Heart of a Champion”? The champion mindset is anchored, by a heart of equal character. Reaching the Champion mindset is not easy, but we all have it within us....

The quality of our mindset is going to be critical for balance. As we continue to refine ourselves through rigorous honesty, the idea of balance becomes more attainable. The previous episodes lay out foundational layers we must maintain to keep us in the now and in balance. Self-awareness, accountability and self–reflection to name a few. When we are fully present, connected to ourselves, everything else dissolves away. The saying ...

Feeding our spirits what we need to maintain...

God was just waiting on us to reach out humbly. He gifts us with our new reality...

Why is it so uncomfortable to be self-accountable? Why does this trigger us immediately to be resistant? Can we see this within ourselves clearly? Every episode has been a puzzle piece in the series “Connecting with Ourselves”. Surrender is that final completion piece. Throughout this process and journey, we have learned a lot about ourselves, and we should see our egos behavior with certainty. Now we transition into action, resili...
