Breaking Down the Breakdown: After The Breakdown

And just like that, we're back!

It's been quite the journey, and in this episode, I decided to tackle one of the main issues that plagues us as loveable, sensitive human beings: MID LIFE CRISIS

While everyone's crisis' might look different from each other, there is one thing for sure, once it affects us, it seems like we're DOOMED

But fear not, because we keep it moving, we keep it going, and it's all a lesson we can learn from.

It's nice to be back, and it's nice to see y'all again :)

A very hard topic to tackle, with our guest JofieComedy speaking VERY harsh truths. Who the f wants to hear about their finances!? Who wants to hear about them being the reason as to why they're not able to attain the kind of financial freedom they want?!

Well, Jofie was able to masterfully weave his personal story, coming from poverty and strategizing a way to get himself out and become successful financially among other things.

A definite favourite of mine, this episode helped me understand that certain things i've done/have been doing in my life with regards to finances may actually have been affected by my own mental health and vice versa.

Hang tight, breakers! Y'all are going to walk out of this episode with a fresh outlook on your own health and finance, and be INSPIRED and MOTIVATED!!

Probably one of the scariest things we don't talk about in full detail and with full transparency: AGING.

As someone who's in his mid 30's almost 40's, it hit me super hard when i realized there were still tons of things i wanted to do in life yet it feels like my journey is almost at its end.

Here we discuss the physical, sexual and mental aspect that aging can bring to a person, and i'm here to remind y'all that you are not alone in this!!

On this episode, we have streamer extraordinaire Towfur share about his journey through self reflection, growth, and healing. 

Make no mistake, as eloquent and as easy as he makes it sound, the heartbreak that you hear in his voice recounting his tumultuous relationship only gives this topic that much more importance. Towfur's fierce and courageous way of tackling his issues head on with kindness is admirable, and I hope that everyone who gets a chance to listen/watch this also learns that through self love, ANYTHING is possible.

Trigger Warning for recovering alcoholics!

It's a very personal episode, but for everyone who knows me, I've been sober for 2 years. I realized I hit a plateau when it came to my progress with allowing myself to thrive with my Harm OCD. The one final exposure i needed to do? Alcohol.

I stopped drinking out of fear that my alcohol will trigger my intrusive thoughts to make me do things I did not want to do, and while this actually had great health benefits for me being sober for a very long time, it left me with an issue i couldn't resolve.

I couldn't quite shake the hold that my OCD still had on me, and I decided to take a huge leap of faith and see where i landed.

Listen to the entire episode and see how I was able to make important decisions pertaining to my OCD and how i can navigate throughout going back to being sober!

This one gets a little personal. I have my fair share of dreams and passion I have worked hard to attain, and realizing that I have failed in one of my biggest investments in myself, I felt depressed, dejected, and I felt like giving up.

But somehow, I had a moment of clarity that allowed me to realize that this failure, this setback, this roadblock, was the exact wake up call that I needed.

A reflective look upon my personal journey with failure and the determination to get back up, I hope a lot of you can relate and realize that your failures we're actually necessary for you to be the successful person you have turned out to be!

Did ya miss me?! I'm Back!

To kickoff the start of the new season, I wanted to go back to the basics, back to what i preach the most either here or on my streams. Being mindful of oneself is a task, but being mindful of OTHERS? Now that's a HANDFUL.

This may trigger some of y'all, but if nothing ever triggers you, are you actually paying attention?!

And don't worry, it's not that kind of trigger warning :) 

You'll understand once you hear it.
