The Simple Life Presents

One of my new fears is that my son will say he no longer feels like he can be himself around me. This episode is for people who struggle with their relationships because we unconsciously set expectations for those we care about that they won't ever meet until we learn that fixing other people is not the answer to our relational issues.

Trusting again is difficult after being betrayed. Learning to navigate through things after recovering is just as important as the recovery. This episode is for people struggling to trust again.

Perfectionism is a trauma response. I want to share my personal experience as a healing perfectionist. I hope people learn from it and get the tools and the help they need to create that safe space to be better one day, one situation at a time.

A lot of people I know, just like myself, start disliking themselves when they don't do what they think they're supposed to be doing. I think that when we beat ourselves up, that's when we start self sabotaging. We start thinking we're not good and we do things that supports that belief like excessively scrolling social media, looking for friends to compare our lives with, or not eating unhealthy food just to feel better about ourselves to later on suffer from the consequence of not eating healthy. I don't wanna be ranting in the description but I just feel like my friends really need to hear this.  I hope my friends and trainees from my past job listen to this episode. 

I recently learned that a lot of my friends on social media love to share memes about being single. To me, it's really just our way of communicating our desire to be in a relationship and I don't appreciate that we put people to shame when we communicate our need to be in a relationship. I think that being inauthentic is not about faking but it's about denying our truest desires. I dedicate this episode to my friends who desire to find their person. 

I was right in the middle of journaling when I thought of my purpose for setting goals. As I write, I remembered something that is more important than achieving the goals I set for this year.  I am grateful that you'd continue to listen to the podcast! Please enjoy this episode. 

Over a month ago, I started in my new role. I've never been a Project Manager my entire life and so when I started in new job, I was fearful and I was afraid of making mistakes. Aside from working with the right people, I think that what helped me enjoy the journey of re-recreating my life is changing my relationship with my failures. And by that I mean changing what I think about failure and how I can leverage on my past poor decisions.  I've so much hope that this episode will help you as you start setting new goals for the year. Enjoy listening!

I'd probably say that year 2021 is one of the craziest year of my life. I'm not surprised with the problems I had to face last year but what I was surprised about are the great things that started happening during the last 2 months of the year.  In this episode, I made 'kwento' about how setting new year's resolutions don't work for me because it overwhelms me. What works for me though is making an intention to work on my daily habits and one of which is writing in my journal at least 5 things that I'm grateful for, day in and day out.  Happy new year! 

I'm starting in my new job really really soon and I'm very grateful to have made the decision to let go of my previous job. In this episode, I'm sharing how I navigate through the difficulty of letting go.  Hope you enjoy it! 

This is a free flow episode. I thought I'd share what I have in mind after hearing from some friends that they are waiting on the next episodes of the podcast.
