[Ep 27] There Are No Shortcuts To Success (Boo!)

  • Reading time:3 mins read

In this episode, I’ll be chatting about how there are no shortcuts to success.

A lot of people are in a hurry to succeed, and as a result are eager to take any shortcuts that come their way. But in reality, those shortcuts more often than not lead to disappointment, not success.

As an entrepreneur, I’ve learnt that success is all about setting SMART goals, and working slowly and steadily towards them with consistency and hard work. 

Unfortunately, I see a lot of people falling for these “Get Rich Quick” or “Lose Weight Fast” schemes, only to realize none of them actually work.

Truth is, no matter what you plan to achieve, you have to put in real hard fucking work!

In this world where instant gratification is touted to us at every corner by every freaking marketer, it seems like there must be a magic pill to get to where we want to get to. But every successful person will tell you that the road to success is paved with doing the basics over and over again consistently over a long period of time.

[Ep 26] I Could Dance All Night, And I Do Quite Often

  • Reading time:3 mins read

In this episode, I’ll be chatting about how I LOVE to dance, and I do so quite often.

Every couple of months, I find a festival or a party to go to and dance the night away!

As you may know, I am a writer, so I am at ease with the use of words to express myself. But as much as I love words, they are not enough for me to express how my body truly feels when I let loose and dance!

I want to share with you this passion of mine, and the reasons that brought me to it.

I am not trained professionally, and I have experienced body shame as so many of us have.

But dancing really is the true form of expression for my body.

I hope you go out dancing after listening to this podcast. It doesn’t matter if it’s just in your living room with your headphones on. We do not dance to show off to the world, but we dance to truly connect with our beautiful, strong, and amazing bodies. (more…)

[Ep 25] Find Your True Self And Voice; Be Authentic

  • Reading time:3 mins read

In this episode, I’ll be chatting about finding your true voice: authenticity as they call it. I believe that most of us have no idea what our true selves actually look like. If we were to ask someone what they truly were like, without any masks, they would have no idea at all. 

For a long time, I was the same. I hid my true self from other people. I would put on a mask, thinking it would be easier to conform, to be more like the people around me.

But wearing this mask constantly was absolutely exhausting. Not only was I mentally drained, but I was unconsciously pulling myself away from who I really am, deep inside.

In order to be “accepted for who I am, as I am”, I had to accept myself.

Authenticity isn’t just a buzzword anymore. It is one of the most crucial ways in which you will connect with your loved ones, your clients, and your friends. (more…)

[Ep 24] Online Business Has Many Beginnings; Social Media Is One

  • Reading time:2 mins read

In this episode, I’ll be chatting with the very awesome Katie Momo. She’ll be sharing her thoughts and experiences in the world of marketing, specifically, how a social media manager works.

Katie helps businesses with their marketing strategies. Katie is well rounded in several skills such as Facebook advertising, copywriting, and social media management.

You guys might be wondering how people like Katie started social media marketing. Well, Katie admitted that she started in a “weird” way, or to put it out, it wasn’t an easy road for her to take.

Her story started when she chose to create her own line of jewelry and she was researching on how to market her products. Her web developer said to her, “Why don’t you try social media marketing (or SMM)?”, and the rest is history. (more…)

[Ep 23] Women with Low Self-Esteem, Listen Up Here!

  • Reading time:3 mins read

In this episode, I’ll be chatting with Susan Adhikari. Susan is a health and fitness coach and a confidence coach. How inspiring is that?

As a confidence coach, she teaches women, mostly in their 20s to 30s, to see themselves differently.

Nowadays, it’s hard not to compare ourselves with other people. Scroll through your Facebook and Instagram feeds. The perfect lives portrayed on these social media feeds is guaranteed to make you feel bad about your own imperfect life. A social media detox can help, but that is just a temporary solution. In reality, we need to make ourselves so strong that all of these degrading messages that are floating our way don’t matter.

So, when we change our mindset, we can start using these posts as a motivation tool to get us going on our fitness journey and onto our ideal lives. (more…)

[Ep 22] The Universe is Perfect and We are Deserving of Abundance

  • Reading time:3 mins read

In this episode, I’ll be talking about something that I deal with every day. It’s the feeling of not deserving what I currently have (abundance) and feeling extreme guilt for all that I am lucky enough to have.

For example, a few days ago, I had a full day filled with amazing conversations with friends. We spent hours discussing current events, politics, and other interesting topics. I went back home feeling loved, happy, and cheerful. I felt like everything was right with the world. There was this peace and contentment in my heart that just felt so right. I felt in complete alignment with the universe.

Even though the day was perfect, I still had a random thought. “Do I deserve having these amazing conversations with these amazing people?” and even “Do I even deserve to be happy?”

These thoughts are pulling me back and down. I have to consciously stop thinking this way. It is blocking the flow of good karma, joy and opportunities my way. I was sabotaging myself.  (more…)

[Ep 21] The Foundation Matters in Everything, Especially Trading

  • Reading time:2 mins read

In this podcast episode, I chatted with TraderChick Marina, another one of my online friends. She helps people in the world of trading specifically focusing the beginners.

Interesting fact: Stocks account only for about 25% of trading.

As a trader, Marina is not as imposing as others might be. She wants her clients to choose what field they want to invest on. She even pointed out an analogy that people who read books should read what interests them.

Let’s say you’re a fan of novels, so read novels. If you like medical literature, go find a good medical book and read it. It’s the same with markets—not only are your reading your market, but you should focus on what you like to read (trade).  (more…)

Even if Yuliya is a bright and happy individual right now, like most people she has had a dark past. She shared with us that she had experienced years of depression where she even questioned her existence.

That’s when she searched for an outlet to release all of that negative energy. Just like me, Yuliya chose to try out meditating and yoga.
