Detaching From Starbucks, Handling Pressure & Why I Worry About the Future | Reflections 071

Reflections is a series where I share what's relevant in my life journey - the results of experiments I'm conducting, what I'm learning, how I'm growing, challenges I'm experiencing, what I'm in love with, etc.

In this episode, I talk about handling the pressure from the crazy Christmas rushes at Starbucks between December 23rd & Boxing Day, my struggle with worrying about having hard conversations, the best way (in my opinion) to get free refills, undertows, laughing internally at customers who get ultra pissed, resistance to confrontation, investing money into daily rituals to make you more money back, why I'm drinking less caffeine (most days), what I'm using to maximize my brain's focus, the worst kind of humour, my favourite christmas gift & becoming ready to move on from Starbucks.

Hope y'all enjpy this.

Reflections is a series where I reflect on the last 2 weeks and I share what I'm learning, what challenges I'm going through, how I'm growing and ultimately, I get to document what's currently relevant in my life journey.

Warning: I don't usually talk about such R rated topics, but this episode is a little different. If you're under 18 or at work (or you're family with me) I'd recommend you skip this episode and just tune in next time.

This episode is going to cover a fear that crippled me and affected me every day for a decade - sex. I talk about my fear of kissing & having sex, how I faced it, what I did to overcome it, the lessons I learned from "losing my virginity" at the late age of 23, why I waited so long, finally taking sex off of a pedestal, the sexual freedom and detachment I've felt since, dominance as a default setting, why it's worth it to work on your sub-communications, and a ton of other topics.

I was very resistant to posting this episode because other parties are involved and it's very outside what I normally talk about (and much more "R rated" in nature) - but I'd be doing the mission of document my journey a disservice if I didn't talk about overcoming one of my biggest fears to date.

To respect other's privacy, I've opted to keep anonymity for parties that aren't myself when bringing up topics that aren't so "family friendly".

We'll treat this as an experimental episode. If you want me to continue to share this type of stuff, let me know. Hope you enjoy this. I appreciate you all. Thanks for caring about my evolution. :)
