  1. Can Eastern Medicine Go Where Western Medicine Can’t?

    Can Eastern Medicine Go Where Western Medicine Can’t?

    Send us a text In this special episode of the Self Reflection Podcast, host Lira Ndifon steps into new territory by inviting two transformative guests: Eric Yuan from the Alameda  County Behavioral Health Department and Dr. Harry Ding, a fifth-generation Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) practitioner. Together, they discuss their innovative community program that bridges the gap between Western medical administration and Eastern holistic practices. Eric shares his personal testimony of overcoming a severe thyroid condition through Dr. Harry's care, which inspired them to serve over 1,200 patients by treating not just the body, but the mind and soul with "love as the best medicine." The conversation dives deep into the metaphysics of health, explaining the concept of "Chi" (life force energy) and how stagnation in specific meridians can manifest as emotional struggles like depression, anger, or worry. Dr. Harry breaks down the art of pulse diagnosis, explaining how a practitioner can detect mental health issues simply by feeling the rhythm of the blood flow in the wrist. He details how different positions on the left and right wrist correspond to internal organs like the heart, liver, and spleen, offering a window into a patient's emotional state without them saying a word. In a vulnerable and educational segment, Lira undergoes a live consultation and pulse reading. Dr. Harry analyzes her sleep patterns, digestion, and stress levels to reveal a "weak spleen" and "blood deficiency" caused by overthinking and irregular eating habits. The episode concludes with actionable TCM advice for listeners, including the importance of sleeping before 11:00 PM (liver time), incorporating red meats for blood regeneration, and drinking rose tea to release stress stagnation.

    Will AI Fix Modern Dating or Break It?

    Send us a text Are you suffering from "swipe fatigue"? In a world where digital dating feels more like a chore than a connection, we’re often left wondering if the "spark" has been replaced by an algorithm. But what if the right technology could actually lead you back to a real soul connection? Today, host Lira Ndifon sits down with Martin Hossen, the visionary CEO and Founder of OLOO, to discuss how he is using Artificial Intelligence to disrupt the dating industry and restore hope to the lonely-hearted.

    Do You Have the Courage to Close?

    Send us a text In this power-packed episode of the Self-Reflection Podcast, Lira welcomes back Jackie Wu, the founder and CEO of Treasure Life's Journey and a renowned sales expert. Building on their previous discussion, Jackie dives deeper into her signature FAQ Formula, a transformative framework designed to help entrepreneurs and professionals secure a "yes" in just one conversation. Jackie shares her incredible journey from closing a $228,000 sale in 30 minutes at Tiffany & Co. to gaining the endorsement of California State Treasurer Fiona Ma in under seven minutes. Jackie breaks down the three essential steps of the FAQ Formula: (F) Find your ideal avatar, (A) Assess their qualification, and (Q) Quick sale close. She explains how this method eliminates the burnout of endless follow-ups and ensures that business owners focus their energy on clients who are ready, willing, and able to invest. Beyond sales tactics, Jackie emphasizes the crucial mindset shift required for success: deeply believing that "I am worth it, and I am worth every penny of it." This episode also explores the unique challenges women face in negotiation and confidence, particularly within cultural contexts that encourage timidity. Jackie offers practical tools, like her color-coded time-blocking strategy for productivity, and shares how finding the right mentors can help navigate the "corporate jungle." Whether you're an entrepreneur, a corporate professional, or simply looking to improve your persuasive communication in relationships, this conversation provides a blueprint for achieving your goals with peace and purpose.

    Restoring What Was Lost

    Send us a text What happens when you look in the mirror and no longer recognize the survivor staring back at you? For many women recovering from breast cancer, burn injuries, or traumatic accidents, the physical battle may be over, but the emotional war with their own reflection has just begun. In this deeply moving and transformative episode, host Lira Ndifon sits down with Yesenia Nissan, a Bay Area-based Permanent Makeup and Paramedical Tattoo Artist who is redefining the intersection of beauty and mental health. Yesenia takes us into the delicate world of Paramedical Tattooing—a specialized art form used to create realistic 3D areolas and camouflage scars. She shares her pivot from a corporate medical career at Stanford to finding her soul’s calling: using ink to help women reclaim the narrative of their bodies. Yesenia recounts the tearful, pivotal moment she handed a mirror to a cancer survivor who had lost her brows to chemotherapy, witnessing not just a physical change, but a profound "relaxation of the nervous system" as the woman finally saw herself again. But Yesenia’s empathy is born from her own fires. She opens up about her personal journey as a teen mother at 16, navigating the stigmas of single motherhood in the expensive Bay Area, and rebuilding her own shattered confidence through faith and resilience. This is a conversation about more than just skin. You will discover: The Science of Visual Healing: How restoring physical features like the breast can trick the brain into releasing trauma and anxiety.Beyond Vanity: Why seeking aesthetic restoration isn't about hiding; it's about taking control of your story.The Single Mom Hustle: Yesenia’s raw advice on overcoming societal "brokenness" and finding power in motherhood.Faith & Business: How spirituality guides Yesenia’s hands and helps her hold space for her clients' grief and joy.This episode is a beautiful reminder that while we cannot always erase our scars, we have the absolute power to redefine what they mean. 🎧 Support the Self-Reflection Podcast: If this conversation touched your heart or expanded your perspective, please help us grow our community!

    Building Wealth, Mindset, and a Legacy of Resilience

    Send us a text Can shifting your mindset about money unlock not just financial freedom, but also mental peace? In this deeply inspiring and practical episode, Lira sits down with Shai-dam Akwo, a financial professional consultant and CEO of One-Off Elite, who shares his incredible journey from extreme poverty in Cameroon to building a successful life and business in the United States. Shy's story is a powerful testament to resilience, the drive for a better future, and the critical role financial literacy plays in breaking generational cycles. Shai offers profound insights into the cultural and historical reasons why money remains a taboo subject in many African and Black communities, explaining how societal pressures and a misunderstanding of wealth often lead to financial stress and hinder true progress. He draws a crucial distinction between being rich (making money) and being wealthy (building sustainable financial peace and security that lasts even if you stop working). This conversation is a masterclass in shifting from a survival mindset to a wealth-building one. This episode is packed with actionable advice for anyone ready to take control of their financial future. Shai emphasizes the foundational steps: educating yourself (even through free resources like YouTube and audiobooks), setting massive goals that scare you, disciplined budgeting, finding side hustles, and understanding that building wealth is a long-term journey requiring consistency and patience. He passionately argues that life insurance is the cornerstone of any wealth-building plan, explaining how it protects your most valuable asset—your ability to earn income—against life's uncertainties like critical illness, ensuring your family's stability and peace of mind. Join Lira and Shai for a conversation that bridges finance, mindset, resilience, and mental well-being, offering both inspiration and a practical roadmap to creating a life of security and purpose.
