Brand new year baby, it's 2022! It's time to take some conscious actions in what we all are trying to manifest for ourselves. Do you have a habit of starting projects, but not finishing them? If so, you're not alone. Whether it's completing existing goals from 2021 or starting something new, I OVER-stand too well how challenging it feels to finish something you started. I'm starting Season 2 with something I personally struggled with for awhile and that was trying to complete things I started. I had the self-starter motivation, but then my fire would turn to smoke half way through.I share 3 habits that helped me break through and successfully complete a personal goal of mine when I decided to compete in a fitness competition from start to completion. I hope this can add some kind of value to your own personal and professional goals that you're either in the middle of completing or are just getting started.3 Habits That Helped Me:1. Quit being a perfectionist. If it feels like 80%, release whatever it is you're doing. So, that you can keep the 20% for on-going improvements.2. Break the tasks down into little steps. If you're still delaying them, break those little steps into more little steps. You'll be left with such a simple task that you'll be wondering what was keeping you from doing it from before.3. Give yourself the permission to create a rough draft of your vision. Creating a draft, even if it looks crappy is way better than not having one at all. Once you get started, things start to roll from there. Stay tuned after the episode if you feel like listening to a short snippet of my personally produced Lofi beat.

It wasn't easy growing up with a stutter in the beginning. I couldn't say my own name! I had to learn to find my confidence and accept my stutter as a part of me and not isolate it. Which i did for many years and trust me, it was not easy to accept right away. I share some of my stories with you in my journey of acceptance and becoming confident with my stutter. I'd like stutterers to know that you're not alone and your voice is beautiful and it does matter. I hope some of my stories can add something for you in your journey.

How did businesswoman Tarla Makaeff, also known as the Copy Queen and Beverly Hills Hypnotist, grow her copywriting company to seven figures? To begin with, you must have a strong sense of self-confidence in your ability to succeed. I had the pleasure of sitting down with Tarla Makaeff and learning about the copywriting industry as we dove right into her journey from corporate to BOSS. Tarla successfully expanded her company, and as a result, she has been profiled in Bloomberg, LA Weekly, New York Weekly, Influencive, and more. And BREATHE!! Tarla also offers advice on how she started her hypnotherapy practice and scaled not only her company but also her other business endeavours like life coaching.

Trying something new can be daunting for some. So what happens? Overthinking comes in like a tsunami and heavy waves of fear, uncertainty, perfectionism and our trauma flow in and washes all the amazing ideas and opportunities away leaving a feeling of desiring more from self but it's like you're stuck in a vicious circle.I've been there. Numerous times. Some ideas and projects flourished. Some didn't even see the light of day. Overtime, I've come to realize that the more I allow myself to try new things, the more I grow as a person and the more fulfilling life becomes.Putting in the effort and taking action is key to overcoming those thoughts. And yes...it does take time and practice! The first is always the hardest, but the reward of pushing past that fear is truly priceless. So, if you're struggling with overthinking, take it one step at a time. You got this!#overcomingoverthinking #selfgrowth #trynewthings #stepoutofyourcomfortzone

In this episode, I chat with Seema Vankayla, a Community Support Worker with the Punjabi Community Health Services (PCHS) organization. The conversation covers a wide range of topics such as changing the narrative on mental health and therapy/counselling, how self-care starts with yourself first, how Seema got to lead the South Asian Women’s group and about her show Purple Tales that’s available on Youtube. Seema’s lens on why its important to celebrate yourself brings a refreshing tone within the South Asian community space and it’s worth to hear how she got to that place in her own personal journey.  Get in touch with PCHS Facebook Page: PCHS Media  Get in touch with Seema Vankayla to be a guest on her show Purple Tales Email: seema@pchs4u.com Telephone: 416-671-5512 Got Questions for me?
