Today’s Episode Summary:

Today’s guest, Jessica McLaren, transitioned from being a principal teacher to an entrepreneur. She came into the world of entrepreneurship to create an impact on the world and she is doing that very beautifully. Jessica is traveling around the world to help other people to elevate their level of success. Today Jessica is sharing with us her thoughts on becoming an entrepreneur, her travel experience during the pandemic, and her journey of personal transformation.

A lot of people look at entrepreneurs and fascinate their lives and fame but they don’t see their immense hard work. They just see the tip of an iceberg and assume that entrepreneurs have a lot of money and they can do whatever they want to do. But the truth is, being an entrepreneur is not as easy as it appears. It is a difficult path and it is almost synonymous with going through a grind. But if you are an entrepreneur by your choice and you are doing something that you love - regardless of how many hours you are putting in - and your work is truly aligned with your core values then you don’t feel the hard work. Rather you willingly put hours into your work.

Jessica says that to achieve success in life you don’t need to live the way society expects you to live. You don’t need to do a 9 to 5 job, you don't need to earn a certain level of income to be happy, and you don't need to retire at a certain age - work as many days as you want. Live your life the way you want to live it and make your own decisions because we achieve success only when we live authentically as our true selves, at our soul level, and in alignment with our true mission, purpose, and passion in life. But if we put our energy into something that doesn't relate to us then we cannot be successful.

Don’t avoid or suppress your emotions because emotion is a powerful tool and every human emotion serves a greater purpose. Moreover, live in the present moment and don’t bother yourself about the past because you cannot change it. Let your past go and enjoy your present. You cannot change your past but you can manipulate your future through visualization and manifestation. Also, don’t try to control the uncontrollable events of your life and surrender in front of uncontrollable things and then see the magic.

Keyen Lage; leadership coach

Today’s Episode Summary:

My guest, Keyen, is a leadership coach but before starting his coaching business he was an athlete and a national football player. Due to an accident, he sustained some serious injuries and lost his ability to play football forever. After this catastrophic incident, he transitioned to his second life and started a new journey with a new purpose.

Keyen says that his limitation gave him fulfillment because a lot of people are chasing their dreams and trying to accomplish their dreams, but they are forever operating in the position of finding identity in the pursuit of their dreams. Throughout their life, they keep finding their identity and their happiness becomes dependent on their identity, achievements, and success. They don’t feel independent and it becomes very difficult for them to live a contented life.

We, human beings, attach so many identities to ourselves that are actually limiting our potential and growth and it becomes very difficult for us to separate them from us. We attach ourselves too much to the earthly titles that if these titles are snatched away from us we become sad. We think we are nothing without these titles and identities. Keyen promotes the idea of ‘being ok with being in a place without titles’. He says that your identity and happiness shouldn’t be wrapped up by your success.

There is nothing wrong with achieving success but we take the extra pressure of success by considering it as our only point of survival. This idealization of success not only creates stresses in our lives but it also affects our process of success. We, human beings, are very hard on ourselves. We pressurize ourselves to achieve more and more and there is no finish line. We motivate ourselves with the belief of ‘Do or Die’ that shows how addicted we are to succeed.

Addiction has different faces. In-fact, there are 2 categories of addiction. One category involves addiction of drugs, porn, alcohol, sex, etc. While other category includes addiction of achievements, addiction of success, addiction of helping others, addiction of religion, etc. The second category is more dangerous than the first category because the rate of people in this category is more than the other one. But we don’t feel these are also addictive behaviors because society glorifies them. Society does not see that the other side of this submission or idealization is a lot of sadness.

To live a contented, happy, and successful life we need to detach our happiness from these identities and change the programming that society has inculcated in our brains. We need to live our life without being so concerned about the definitions of success created by society and we need to

Scarlett O'Connor; A Bodybuilder, Worldwide Champion Athlete, Gold Medal Winner of Ms Atlas, and NLP Master Practitioner.

Today’s Episode Summary:

We hear so many stories of people who overcome the challenges of their life and achieve something bigger but there are few stories that completely leave us baffled and we think that how someone can possibly achieve such a massive success on the face of catastrophes. My today’s guest, Scarlett O'Connor, is a true epitome of courage, resilience, and strength. She has been through a lot in her life but she proved that it doesn’t matter from where you belong and it doesn’t matter what circumstances life puts you in; you can still achieve what you want. Today Scarlett is sharing with us her emotional life story so that we could reap benefits from it.

Scarlett was born in a family having a narcissistic mother and a mentally ill and alcoholic father and went through many traumatic events as a kid. At the age of 12, her mother kicked her out of the house and she grew up in a Care System. She was carrying a lot of anger, sadness, and frustration that led her toward drugs. At the age of 16, she became pregnant and hustled a lot to provide for her kid as a single mother. Later on in life, she was physically abused in Spain by a police officer and was almost died but she kept silent over it until recently. She lost her father along the way and all of this led her toward severe depression. Not only that, in 2017, she went through a huge car accident and ended up in coma.

Throughout her life, Scarlett was living in flight or fight mode. She always used to be in survival mode but after recovering from coma, she started her self transformational journey. She had nothing but willingness to be something more. She started working on her inner-self, joined NLP, and also started training and bodybuilding. In 2019, she participated in a bodybuilding competition and won the prestigious ‘Ms Atlas’ award.

Scarlett is an extremely brave lady who fought with many challenging and bizarre events in her life. She stood up every time and challenged the challenges of her life. After the huge success of ‘Ms Atlas’, now Scarlett is on a mission to help people break through the limitation of their past. She is helping people to create the life they desire and improve their mental health and relationships.

This is the brief story of this iron lady. I won’t go into the details of Scarlett’s story but I'll must say, it is a worth listening episode and you shouldn't be missing out on this gold. Tune in and listen to the whole story and lessons attached to it in Scarlett’s own words.
