In this episode we dive into signs that show you are healing on your spiritual path/self development journey. We can often overlook these in strife for more (as human nature goes). Healing is subtle, its minute shifts over time that allow us to embody a new version of ourselves that we dont notice initially.
Appreciate how far you have come, recognise these signs and give yourself a pat on the back for your growth.

In this episode we dive into what Ikagai is, how we can apply it to our lives no matter what kind of situation we are in. We also go through some of the book 'Ikagai' where we talk about the 5 lessons that are key to a long and happy life, learning from Japanese people who have embodied this philosophy their whole life.
There is a reason Japan has one of the highest life expectancies of the world, I truly believe we can learn from them as the eastern way is far greater ahead than the western way.

In this beginner exercise, we plant the seed for you to start programming your subconscious. Knowing how to create a space for yourself to slow down, feed your body with words to start shifting away from survival and into creation.
This alone won't change anything but it will communicate to yourself that you are ready to enter a new era of your journey of empowerment and transformation from the inside.
One step at a time

So many individuals don't focus on this and therefore spend a lot of there time lifting weights either doing more damage to their body or not making the most of their time spent in the gym. As humans, we love seeing progress on investments throughout every area of our life. So get to know this and you will thank yourself for it.

Episode 2 – Why I Believe Meditation Can Change Your Life
In this episode, I’m speaking to the ones who are curious about meditation, maybe a bit skeptical, or just starting out and wondering if they’re doing it “right.”
We also get into the science—how meditation affects your brain, your nervous system, even your emotional patterns. And how all of that ties in beautifully with the spiritual side of things.
This isn’t about becoming a monk or meditating perfectly. It’s about giving yourself a moment of stillness in a noisy world. And sometimes, that one moment is enough.
Have a great week

Whether you're tuning in for inner stillness or expansive ideas, welcome back. Let’s create a space for meaningful connection and conscious conversation.

In this episode, we talk about how to have a healthy perspective on how to cut out all the noise of life that doesn't matter based on your values and how to focus on things that truly matter to you. To develop yourself as a person and as a professional. As Tony Robbins says, 'Progress = Happiness". When we feel like we are progressing, we will always have this sense of happiness or fulfilment that our life's trajectory is looking positive.
How to understand what are superficial values to you and what are your core values, that you can live your life by.
