Do You Know Your Personal Truth?
Saturday Apr 13, 2024
Saturday Apr 13, 2024
In this podcast, I delve into the transformative journey of questioning societal norms, confronting prejudices (including my own), and ultimately, discovering personal truths. It’s been a journey of empowerment and growth, where I’ve learned the importance of making decisions that align with my desires, setting boundaries, and living a life that is authentically mine.
But, “It’s Your Turn” is not just about my story. It’s about challenging the detrimental effects of societal gender roles, cultural expectations, and biases that we’ve all faced in one way or another. It’s about understanding how these beliefs can limit our aspirations and influence our behaviors in ways we might not even be aware of.
Standing up for oneself against societal expectations is not an easy task. It requires courage, a growth mindset, and an openness to personal evolution. I want to encourage all of you to explore your personal truths, question the norms, and confront the prejudices. It’s in this exploration that we find empowerment and growth.
I’m here to guide you through this journey, offering insights, tools, and reflections that have helped me along the way. But more than that, I want to foster a supportive community where we can all connect and share our experiences. It’s in sharing our stories that we find strength and validation in our truths.
So, if you’re ready to embark on this journey of self-discovery, to make life choices that truly resonate with who you are, and to live authentically amidst a world of external influences, I invite you to join me. Let’s discover, embrace, and assert our truths together. Remember, it’s your turn.

Monday Feb 12, 2024
Monday Feb 12, 2024
Welcome to today’s episode, where I get REAL REAL about my personal and profound journey through the landscape of self-discovery and personal growth. In this candid conversation, we explore the deep-seated challenges of self-doubt and the dangers of the pursuit of perfection.
Main Themes:
Struggle with Self-Doubt: I share an intimate battle with self-doubt, exacerbated by societal pressures to adhere to an image of perfection.
Cultural and Familial Influences: I delve into how cultural norms, family expectations, religion, and patriarchy have shaped my belief systems and self-perception, especially around the concept of success and gender roles.
Resistance and Authenticity: Despite these ingrained beliefs, I recognized resistance against these societal expectations and the importance of being true to myself and embracing my imperfections as a means of growth.
What the TV Show "The Bear" taught me. Its complex characters helped me see my personal journey to "messy" in a new way, seeing my triggers from old beliefs can serve as a catalyst for transformation.
Religious Teachings and Self-Separation: I share the impact of evangelical teachings and the associated fear of eternal damnation on my feelings of disconnection from God and a pervasive sense of wrongdoing.
Choosing Authenticity Over Performance: I'll share why I decided not to record a podcast episode 'on time' for a Sunday release because of my internal struggle, signaling a pivotal moment of breaking free from limiting beliefs without succumbing to a victimhood narrative.
Self-Compassion vs. Perfection: A call for self-compassion, drawing parallels between human development and the learning stages of children and pets, highlighting the need for acceptance and unconditional self-love.
Importance of Presence and Fulfillment: I want to emphasize the power of presence, happiness, and fulfillment as vital components of life, promoting self-love and heeding the guidance of the wise, unconditional inner self.
Life as a Learning Process: Life is presented as a metaphorical journey of learning to walk, fall, and rise again, where overcoming challenges and practicing self-care are crucial to personal improvement.
Conclusion:
This episode serves as a reminder that embracing our imperfections and committing to authenticity can lead to a more fulfilling and self-compassionate life.
