HTL 062: Breaking the Cycle of Your Past, with Mee Vaj

HTL 062: Breaking the Cycle of Your Past, with Mee Vaj

Podcast
How do you achieve grace? I would say through experience and when we successfully handle the tough situations in our lives. We are taught how to handle life through our families and how they deal with things. But very often they do not do the best job. They didn’t have the skills and they become angry, unhappy, and frustrated. We then learn to expect that in our own lives. Perhaps you are experiencing unhappiness and dissatisfaction right now. Maybe you have brought an unhealthy ancestral cycle into your NOW.  If so, this episode may help you. My guest is Mee Vaj, a certified hypnotherapist and energy healer who helps her clients heal deep childhood wounds and break free of the dysfunctional behaviors and cultural habits that may have plagued generations.…

HTL 061: The Importance of Emotional Health in Ending Chronic Stress and Burnout, with Dr. Karthik Ramanan

HTL 061: The Importance of Emotional Health in Ending Chronic Stress and Burnout, with Dr. Karthik Ramanan

Podcast
Today's topic is about the importance of emotional health and how crucial a role it plays in your life, your life choices, your perception about yourself, and your outlook on life.  Stress plays a significant role in all our lives, but it is often particularly dominant in high-achieving entrepreneurs and professionals. This stress very often leads to burnout, and Dr. K knows exactly how that feels. He is currently a physician, but before this, he was on Wall Street for 8 years, a VP at Goldman Sachs, and before that a double major at Cornell University, an Ivy League school, in biology and economics, no less. That is so impressive! And from the outside, it looked like he really had it together. But, behind the scenes, things were falling apart. …

HTL 060: How To Discover Your Path and Live Life on Purpose, with Joe Elliott

HTL 060: How To Discover Your Path and Live Life on Purpose, with Joe Elliott

Podcast
In this episode, we are talking about a question that so many of us ask ourselves but often never really answer. Who Am I? Why Am I Here? Where Do I Fit In? These are big questions. We go out into the world to try to figure it out. How many years have been spent trying to find ourselves? Understand who we are? Why is this so hard?  I have a theory that it is because we don’t know what questions to ask ourselves about our purpose. When you don’t know the question, how can you expect to receive an answer? My guest today is Joe Elliott, who is the founder and executive director of the Catalyst Collective and the Purpose Project which helps people answer these questions for themselves. …

HTL 059: Following The Bread-Crumb Trail of Your Curiosity, with Junaid Ahmed

HTL 059: Following The Bread-Crumb Trail of Your Curiosity, with Junaid Ahmed

Podcast
I love the title of today's show, Following the Bread Crumb Trail. Do you remember the story of Hansel and Gretel? They were lost in the forest, but Hansel had dropped breadcrumbs and they were able to follow the trail and get back home. That is kind of what my guest, Junaid Ahmed, is going to encourage you to do. Junaid is the host of the podcast, Hacks and Hobbies. He, himself, is a lifelong hobbyist. He has explored many things: tech, cycling, photography, beekeeping, film and video, studio set up, podcasting; and all were explored by following his curiosity. Curiosity is natural to everyone. Even if you think you don’t have imagination or curiosity about anything, I would say, not true. You were probably steered away from it or…

HTL 058: It’s Okay To Try Different Things, with Matt Woicik

HTL 058: It’s Okay To Try Different Things, with Matt Woicik

Podcast
Today I am speaking with Matt Woicik who wants to let you know that it’s okay to try different things. His own path from architect to computer tech to digital marketing entrepreneur was pretty straight with no real deviations. It turned out well, but he would like to encourage his own children and this audience that it’s okay to try different things. It won’t throw you off a chosen path, and can even enhance it.  If you think you have to be laser-focused to reach a level of prestige and comfort, do so if you find it completely fulfilling. But it is also fun to try out some different things and it will still turn out okay. Everything works out. Make sure you are really enjoying it along the way. If…
