    Embracing Vulnerability: A Path to Restoring Trust

    Are you ready to break the chains of self-doubt and rediscover trust within yourself?  Embark on a journey with us as we dig deep into the roots of self-trust, how it shapes our relationships with others and how a lack of it can drive our lives towards constant fear and suspicion. We discuss the troubling trend of distrust within the western male and how, by embracing vulnerability, we can start the transformative journey towards a culture of trust. We believe that trust is the essence of life, taking inspiration from the boundless trust that newborn babies display. Unfortunately, as we grow, we often lose that innate sense of trust, largely due to societal conditioning around fear and lack. Join us as we delve into how we lose trust in ourselves, the profound impact of this on our ability to love and trust others, and how a scarcity mindset can further exacerbate this issue.  In the latter part of our conversation, we turn the spotlight on self-love and self-trust, crucial ingredients for living authentically. We discuss how fear and self-loathing can blind us from our own actions, leading to a lack of trust in ourselves. We argue that self-respect and self-love are the keys to rekindling trust and recognizing our unique abilities. As we conclude, we touch upon how childhood experiences and the role of religion shape our trust mould, and how breaking free from old stories can help us regain self-trust, paving the way towards a fulfilling life. Tune in for an enriching discussion that will change the way you perceive trust. Thank you for listening.

    It's time to cut the umbilical cord

    Can one word hold the power to transform relationships and shape our lives? In our thought-provoking conversation, we explore the profound influence of the word 'Mother' and the intricate bond it signifies. We journey into the core of the mother-child relationship, delving into its complexities and its empowerment, while also unraveling its potential to confine us. Through personal stories, literature, and shared experiences, we shed light on the power of this primal bond and its profound influence on our decisions and relationships.  We reflect on the transformative power of letting go, of breaking the cycle of over-dependency, and of fostering a balanced and respectful connection with our mothers. We offer practical advice on establishing a mature relationship with the maternal figure in our lives. We discuss the delicate act of reimagining this relationship, not just as a mother-child bond but as an adult friendship. Our conversation aims to inspire you to navigate your relationship with your mother and create a fulfilling and independent life. Tune in for an episode packed with insights, reflections, and advice.

    Trust Your Gut: The Unseen Power of Intuition in Success Stories

    Are you constantly juggling between decisions made by the heart and those by the mind?  Well, Carlos and I are here to open up this Pandora's box of the mind-heart conflict. We uncover the implications of being too dependent on either emotions or logic, and how a balanced amalgamation of both is crucial for sound decision-making.  Do you trust your intuition? We share our thoughts on the all-important role of intuition, especially in decisions involving people. This episode unearths the three-cornered relationship between instinct, intelligence, and intuition in decision-making.  We challenge the oft-held belief that our education system is primarily intellect-centric, and lay emphasis on trusting our intuition. Drawing parallels from the success stories of giants like Apple, Amazon, and Elon Musk, we demonstrate how intuition has often been the driving force behind their pioneering decisions.  How much weightage do you give to emotions when deciding? Carlos and I broach the subject of emotional decision-making, debunking the stereotype that men are less emotional than women. We delve into the hazards of disregarding emotions in our decisions, and how our quest for happiness is intrinsically linked to our emotional state. Wrapping up, we provide insights into how you can reconnect with your inner truth, listen to your intuition, and make emotionally valid decisions, not just in personal life, but in the business world too. So tune in, and let's explore the universe within us! 0:00: The Battle Between Heart and Mind 6:27: Trusting Intuition in Decision-Making 19:33: Emotions in Decision Making 29:22: Emotions and Decision Making 40:22: The Importance of Emotional Decision Making Thank you for listening.

But it's the unflinching confrontation of these moments that have brought us to the unique crossroads of self-worth and addiction, a junction that many of us explore in furtive silence. We challenge that silence in this episode, shedding light on the myriad ways addiction can manifest, the critical need for better education, and the power of facing our personal demons head-on.
