Many of us perceive Karma as the principle of "what goes around comes around."

Karma: Should We Have Known Better?

Those of us who have a tendency to be people-pleasers usually want the best for other people.&nbsp;However, the other, more well-known part of being a people-pleaser is the need for everyone to like us, which often leads to anxiety, worry, and ultimately self-compromise. When we can give up people-pleasing, we can start thinking about the pleasure of speaking our minds, the pleasure of achieving our goals, and the pleasure of taking control of our own lives by letting go of the pain involved in trying to control other people.

Are You A People Pleaser?

Have you ever looked in the mirror and started to feel horrible about how your body looked?&nbsp;&nbsp;We don’t always realize it, but many of us have been programmed to reject our bodies, spending our lives searching for an ideal of beauty.&nbsp;&nbsp;Yet, the definition of beauty in the dictionary is “that which gives pleasure to the mind or senses.”&nbsp;This means we get to determine our notion of beauty based on what gives us pleasure.&nbsp;&nbsp;If we focus more on what pleases us, we might just find that our bodies are miraculous vehicles to experience the beauty of life.&nbsp; Listen to this podcast and in less than 10 minutes you can start to learn to look in the mirror with pleasure and see your true beauty.

Do You Hate Your Body When You Look In The Mirror?

Wouldn’t it be great to make your own rules, always be your authentic self, and love what you do each day? So many people these days are encouraging us to find our own path or follow our bliss. Although this can be a wonderful new journey, if we don’t love ourselves or have a secure identity, we will suffer greatly—we might not even have the strength to make necessary changes. Please listen to this podcast to cultivate self-love and resilience to launch your new journey and achieve your goals.

Are You Strong Enough To Change Your Life?

Many of us know how painful it is to be rejected based on whether we are “good-looking” or not.&nbsp;Some of us feel like we have no agency in the world if we don’t come in a particular package. Yet, we have the power to transcend these belief systems to assert our true power. We can only control our own perspective, but our own perspective is enough to find our value.&nbsp;We can align with our true worth and forge forward with greater focus on our goals and dreams.&nbsp;Listen to this podcast to find your own belief system to capture the most in your life.

Are You Tired Of Being Judged On Whether Or Not You're "Good Looking?"

It’s quite natural to want people to like us, but sometimes it causes us to compromise ourselves.&nbsp;Sometimes our need for people to like us prevents us from speaking our mind,&nbsp;which makes our relationships misaligned or puts our goals out of reach.&nbsp;Listen to this podcast to find the clarity and strength to stop centering your focus on making people like you and instead emphasize living a meaningful life with more joy, ease, and success.
