The Birthday Blues
Another year has passed and my dreams aren't realized...
I feel like I haven't achieved what I wanted to by this time. It saddens me that my life is where it's at... The disappointment I feel paralyzes me sometimes... So, I wanted to share my thoughts and emotions instead of waddling in the dark abyss.
This is my attempt to acknowledge my inner world and highlights as well as practice gratitude and mindfulness.
If you can relate to the birthday blues, you are not alone. One day at a time, we got this.

Exploring WHOLE with Brian Seth Hurst
How do we become whole? Let's explore this concept with Brian Seth Hurst!
This is the first episode of Season 3 and Brian is our first featured guest! It was his birthday on the day of this recording, so ya'll can type Happy Belated Birthday to him in the comments (if ya'll are on YouTube or Spotify).
We read some excerpts from his books WHOLE and The WHOLE Companion Workbook in this episode. I enjoyed how interactive and in-depth the exercises and questions were. Here is a quick quote:
"We must reconcile our past, embrace our present, and create our future." - Brian Seth Hurst
If you so choose, join me on this exploration as we do these exercises together. Autonomy, as we emphasized, is empowering when paired with awareness. In simple terms, it feels great to know that you have the ability to choose and choose again.

Season 2 Bloopers
Are these bloopers even bloopers??
Apparently I edited these in such a way that they doesn't sound like mistakes...
Anyways, not sure how I skipped to the last episode of Season 3, though here we are: Bloopers. Grandma...
If I included every sound check, this episode would be at least 40 minutes long... Singing?? Listen to the cringe of this compilation. Bonus: no music to distract you! Just random sirens and white noise.

Reassurance we both may need.
Struggling to share what I create with the world, here is an attempt to give myself that extra push.
This episode turned more into a reminder for us to go all in with our dreams by taking the baby steps and leaps, as well as celebrating our progress along this journey. As the title states, we are worthy of our dreams becoming real. We got this!

Congested, numb, and overwhelmed, I couldn't get myself to do anything... So, I decided to reflect on my dilemma, celebrate my wins, and do things one at a time. In an ASMR and narration type fashion, I bring ya'll along this self-care journey. I hope ya'll take care of yourselves too. We got this!
