"Life is a journey, not a destination and the journey is the reward."

In this episode of the SoulTalk Podcast, let me reflect on my life experiences over the years and share 8 pieces of advice I would give to my 18-year-old self.
Our life experiences are full of highs and lows, challenges, goals, and dreams. From the excitement of launching my bestselling books to the heartbreak of betrayal and breakups, I’ve navigated through various facets of life. As I look back, I find myself feeling blessed and filled with gratitude for these diverse experiences that have shaped me.
Reflecting on my journey, I realize that youth possess a unique beauty - an innocence that shields us from the full awareness of life’s challenges. If I only knew the difficulties that lay ahead, I might be deterred from even beginning the journey. As I share these reflections and some pieces of advice with you, I invite you to consider how they may resonate with your journey. Remember, life is a canvas, and each experience contributes to the masterpiece you create. Tune in to this week’s episode!

Gratitude is your superpower. Remember, when you focus on what is beautiful, what is beautiful will expand.
In this episode of the SoulTalk Podcast, let me unfold the importance of gratitude, framing it not merely as a fleeting emotion but as a disciplined practice - one that necessitates a deliberate shift from perceiving to embracing abundance.
No matter how big or small, gratitude is the genuine appreciation and acknowledgment of good things. It’s not saying “thank you” out of politeness, but truly recognizing and feeling grateful for the positive aspects, experiences, or people that enrich our lives. It’s a powerful emotion that can bring joy, foster connection, and shift our focus from what we lack to what we have.
Today, let me share the 7 levels of gratitude where each level gives a deeper and more profound connection with the universe. So if you want to know how you can practice gratitude more in your daily life, tune in to this week’s episode!
