Breakthrough the Ordinary

Our brain indeed controls the functions in our body. But do you realize that our body sends signals to our brain? Our mind and body are linked intrinsically, but our mind interprets what initially happens to our body.

When a stressful event happens - and by stressful, we mean traumatic - something happens to our body. It can get overwhelmed, freeze, and turn survival mode on. It's not only our brain that keeps track of the event...

“Stress” is an overused and abused term. In fact, we use the term “stress” on a daily basis without regard for the real sense of the word. People use it to describe a range of things from simply annoying instances to extremely triggering situations. 

Search Google for advice on “How to manage stress and overwhelm?” You will get tons of advice that tell you how to clear or manage the ongoing effects of stress. 

In the context of menta...

Did you ever feel neglected or dropped? Yet the conversation ends up with your partner on the defense instead of making amends? Was there a time your partner did something that made you feel important and loved? Too bad, it turned out to be a one-time thing? Does it feel like a hit or miss trying to delight your partner? Do you often think that he/she doesn’t get you?

Did you ever feel you could've handled it better?

It all boils...

Curiosity is what lies on the other side of the wall that separates us from our dreams. It pushes us to tread uncertain waters, sail against hostile winds, and ride the waves. It is the strong desire to discover and conquer without reservations and judgment. It keeps us from settling for mediocrity and seizing the infinite possibilities. Curiosity fuels our passion and saves us from stagnation.  

Truth be told, we often have a passi...

If our sensuality and sexuality are at the core of who we are, it effects what we attract and allow into our lives. - Lourdes Starshower.

From this premise, we ask ourselves this question - “If we are not attracting the partner that we want in our lives, then how does our sexuality actually look like from the inside?”

Many of us are not aware of our child wounds around our sexuality. These wounds could be in the form of abuse, repres...

Do you find yourself complaining about stress too often that it has become a part of the conversations in your head? 

Do you stress over the usual traffic, nooks, and crannies in the house that never get cleaned, to-do lists that never get done, the pile of workload in the office, or the inbox that never gets emptied? All these add up.

Here’s the question - When was the last time you squeezed in a coffee date, a spa session, reconnec...

Did you ever feel lost and disconnected beyond comprehension? You feel troubled to the depth of your soul. You feel restless and nothing seems to help. Whatever it is, it has taken power over you. You feel literally helpless on your knees, asking a higher power or the Great Spirit to come to your rescue. Even if that means your tattered soul has to vanish from the face of the earth and just be reborn anew and start with a clean sla...

“When we are actually healthy energetically in our body, everything else falls into place because everything starts there.”- Lia Mehmetoglu

Sounds simple? Not quite. 

For many of us, achieving healthy energy is almost like doing a factory reset wherein the bare essentials of our being - body and spirit - get lifted off of the excess baggage that weighs them down so they can see each other and reconnect in alignment.

This baggage could...

Seeking financial freedom is much like going after any personal breakthrough in life. A few things need to come into play in order to move the needle. In this episode, we have learned that these pillars involve people, relationships that we believe and trust in, and fixing the beliefs that limit us from achieving what we want.

Alex Hao Li talks about these elements of financial freedom and refers to them as pillars. In structural en...

Who would've thought that most of the world's problems stem from pathological masculinity? And we can trace it back historically to the patriarchal ideology and the impact on women and the planet that has been gaining attention in the last few decades.

Do you believe that as a society, we are partially responsible for why men are disconnected from the heart and have lost awareness of their power? Are we guilty of passing on ...

They say life is a journey, just go through it without expectations and learn as you go along. But if you stall and get stuck along the way, ask yourself why. And there usually isn't an easy answer.

In our past episodes, we have spoken with healers, coaches, and experts who talk about reprogramming, quantum healing, enlightenment, mindfulness, and an array of tools to help uncover past wounds and mental blocks. What if all these...

In this world of duality, there is always the presence of good and evil, kindness and cruelty. Not all men possess a discerning mind to balance and equilibrate thoughts, perceptions, and beliefs around their surrounding world. Often, when conflict or negativity presents themselves,  our cognitive behavior tends to fight and disregard the underlying opportunities presenting themselves. It results in internal chaos.

There is more to diet culture than what it looks like on the surface. 

For many women, there is a real struggle in keeping up with the perfect body image that was either ingrained in us through generations or a pressure we put on ourselves for different reasons.  

The influence of mass media and social media marketing plants a strong subconscious desire that to be desirable and worthy, one must be within a specific weight range, body...

Show Notes:

There are a thousand ways to break down the elements of breakthrough or the absence of it. In our past episodes, we have sought answers from dozens of coaches, authors, and thought leaders about how they think people can achieve breakthroughs to live the life they say they want to have.

In this episode, we have the pleasure of doing a deep dive on why it’s so difficult for people to cross the road from who they’ve become...

Many of us have “traveling with the family” on our bucket lists. We crave freedom from the 9-5 or the luxury of the four-day work week, but the systems and mindset that we operate on never get us anywhere near achieving them. What if you can achieve more of these results while working less time?

At 41, published author, international speaker, and certified digital marketing strategist, Nick Cownie has figured out how he can travel ...

People go through cycles of abuse without knowing how they can end it. They saw it happen many times over before their eyes crossed generational lines. Then, they see it happening to their own family. That is a generational cycle- a “generational curse” to some. 

Why is this happening? What is the explanation behind it? Does one have the power to know how it started, at least in his life? Is there a way to break the cycle?

In this ...

Often, the narrative is that we are being held up by limiting beliefs when it comes to achieving the life we envision. Early experiences in life build those beliefs and thoughts, those beliefs and thoughts affect our feelings; feelings become our actions, and actions form our habits. 

Our habits cement our thoughts. The cycle becomes a pattern. Then, we fall into the egocentric trap that holds us...
