Many people like to use meditation apps to help the relax at the end of a busy & stressful day.
And, while these apps can be useful, a lot of the time they're used to 'zonk' out and disconnect from experience and this is not what meditation is really about. Meditation done powerfully is about the opposite: it's about connecting more!It's about connecting more with yourself, your experiences, and the greater systems that you belong to.So in this episode of the podcast, I'll be going through the 3 essential steps that you need to do that will help you meditate powerfully every single time.

One of the things that makes life harder work than it needs to be is not being able to forgive.
Holding on to all the anger, hurt, resentment, the bruising of the ego, and, in general, just not being able to move on.
Forgiveness can be a tough one to process, especially if we believe that we've been properly betrayed or treated badly.
So in this episode of the podcast, we'll be taking a look at the art of forgiveness. I'll be going through a 2-step process you can use to get some resolution and finally move on.

Make Life Effortless by Discovering your Super Power
Wednesday Jun 12, 2024
Wednesday Jun 12, 2024
One of the things that can make life more effortless is to discover your super power and then double down on it.
By virtue of our life experience, genetics, struggles, challenges and successes, we will all have developed certain abilities. Things that we do exquisitely.
But so often we take them for granted. Because they come easy to us, we can devalue them.
When really, we should be acknowledging them fully and doubling down on them. When we do, it makes life more effortless and enjoyable.
So in this episode, I'll be showing you how to recognise your super power power and bring it more to the forefront of your life (where it belongs).
