Although nothing is wrong with feeling victimized, the problem starts when the sense of powerlessness that comes with it becomes our identity - when we believe that life is done to us and that we don’t create our own reality. We stop trying to change - and even worse, stop believing in ourselves. This week’...

May 25, 2023 10:00 - 12 minutes - 11.5 MBThere are four boundaries that we can observe in order to become more independent, and do not give our power away by constantly feeling the need to please others.

March 30, 2023 10:00 - 17 minutes - 23.8 MBDid you know that our anxiety often stems from our early life experiences? When we were rejected, scolded, or neglected as children, our subconscious was startled and created a new set of beliefs to protect us.

Although anxiety may seem like an insurmountable obstacle, it can actually be a po...
