Recounting Life Lessons
122 episodes - English - Latest episode: 12 days ago -The show that has Sione and Alana Uyema recounting and collecting lessons that life's adventures have taught them and others.
Recounting Life Lessons is the place to be for people who want to feel more empowered in their lives, relationships, and in their roles as leaders. Whether you are leading thousands, leading those in your home, or simply want to be better at leading yourself, the lessons from life's experiences can make all the difference, when it comes to our abilities to make progress on purpose.
Life can be an amazing teacher if we're paying attention.
One way to pay attention is to recount the lessons from our lives, and the lives of those around us, and then take action to apply those lessons in our lives.
It's time to say goodbye to the hustle mentality and burnout and embrace growing and enjoying success in more empowering and sustainable ways.
Some of our favorite topics to discuss on Recounting Life Lessons include mindset, productivity, success, leadership, finances, faith, personal development, relationships, overcoming limiting beliefs, reaching one's potential, and something we like to call The Empowered Hero Lifestyle.
What started off as a place to dive a little deeper into the life lessons we were sharing on our YouTube videos has evolved into a weekly show for leadership, personal development, and conversations to empower us to be better human beings.
In each episode, we recount the lessons that our experiences as leaders, business owners, a married couple, relationships, love of growth, and everything in between has taught us.
Whether we are diving into a discussion about a life lesson together, with a guest, or in a solo episode, you can expect a lesson along with some ideas and examples of ways to apply it to your own life.
The opportunities for learning and growth are infinite, just like each of our potentials. But its potential is only as powerful as its application.
