03: 5 Important Things I Learned While Living as a Buddhist Monk

In today’s episode, I have the chance to speak to my two close friends at the same time! Darrin had the great idea of asking ChatGPT to guide our conversation. It gave us a list of 10 questions and we answered the first 5 for today. This was fun to do, it also made us reflect a lot! We share some really valuable information for all of you. Part 2 will be coming up in a few weeks.

We’ve all heard of the word “manifestation” at least once in our life. Some believe in it and others think it’s complete garbage. What if I told you that it really does work? It’s not because you desired one thing and received the complete opposite that you should give up on it. Maybe the universe gave you what you needed at that moment or you just didn’t do it correctly. We are all made differently energetically, which means we have different ways of manifesting. It isn’t a one way fits all. Let me share with you a few tips and tricks.

This episode is a special one for me. After closing myself off to the dating world for over 3 years, life brought Alessandra and me together through divine intervention and timing. We share how we met and how we knew to move forward in a relationship together. Although we met during hard times, it just felt right. Alessandra also opens up about her experience with Therapy and how much it changed her life. She gives some good advice for those of you who are struggling and looking for some tips and tricks.

We’ve all heard of Karma at least once in our life. Does it really only mean “what goes around comes around”? In today’s episode, I explain what it really means. Karma = Action. All actions have a consequence, whether it’s good or bad. It is not meant to be a punishment or reward. It is an energy that is constantly flowing. There is no outrunning nor escaping it. The residual action of everything you have done will ALWAYS remain with you!

Today’s episode is a special one for me, I had the chance to speak to my oldest friend! Nick and I have been best friends since kindergarten. He is a very busy man being a father of 3 young boys. We rarely get to see each other, but when we do we have amazing conversations such as this one! He shares a little about the difficulties of parenthood and his struggles with his health issues. Although life may not have seemed fair, he still found a way to stay positive and persevere through tough times.

In today’s episode, I dive into a topic that took a huge toll on me for a number of years. It is very important to have a balance within your physical and spiritual life. If you are like me, you may have found yourself obsessing on one at a time. Neglecting one or the other can have great consequences. When we focus too much on the physical world, we disconnect from our higher selves and we silence our intuition. Just as when we focus on the spiritual we neglect our bodies and the reality that we are living in.

Today’s episode was requested by a few of you. I have to say that it was really NOT easy at first! As soon as I landed in Canada, I was ready to give up everything and go right back. The reverse culture shock hit very hard. I went from living in silence in the jungle, meditating 6 hours a day, and sleeping in a tent for a couple of months to coming back to a very fast-paced big city. Depression hit me hard for the first couple of months. I wanted nothing to do with any of it so I pulled myself away.

In today's episode, I have a heart-to-heart conversation with a dear friend of mine whom I met 12 years ago in College. Cristi and I rarely speak nor see each other nowadays since he moved to Switzerland 5 years ago. We went over his story of migrating to Canada when he was a teenager and the hard times that came with it, to his decision to leave Montreal and move to Switzerland with his girlfriend. He shares what it took to get through the dark moments of his life and why he decided to take a huge risk with his move to another continent. 

I am absolutely loving these episodes as it feels so natural and freeing. Hope you guys enjoy it!

We are currently at a point in time where a vast number of people are waking up spiritually. It can be very confusing at the start since your reality may shift from one moment to the next. Some may feel very different all of a sudden as if they’re starting a new life. If you’ve been feeling like this recently, maybe you’re going through a spiritual awakening.

• You feel disconnected or detached.
• You feel lost, confused, down…
• People don’t understand what you’re going through.
• You start putting yourself first.
• You may experience physical symptoms.
• Experiencing more synchronicities and magical moments.
• Increased empathy and compassion.
