In this episode, you'll learn why prioritising people is critical for not just building strong relationships, but also for your personal growth and fulfilment.

We will shed light on how Jesus exemplified this lifestyle, and why true Christianity promotes valuing every individual, irrespective of our differences.

Imagine if we could transform our homes, neighborhoods, corporations, and essentially the world by the simple act of prioritising people over personal gain.

We often stay within the comfortable walls we've built around ourselves, safe in the familiar and predictable.

While this comfort zone makes us feel secure, it can also trap us and prevent us from growing and reaching our full potential.

In this episode, we'll learn about the science of why we stay in our comfort zones, exploring how the amygdala, the brain's fear centre, designed to keep us safe from danger, can also keep us stuck and stagnant.

Join me as I share insights, strategies and techniques to help you break down the walls of your comfort zone and start living a more fulfilling life.

In a world that values safety and predictability, this episode will empower you to step outside your comfort zone and discover all that you're capable of.

Throughout the Bible, we see individuals who were entrusted with a prescribed purpose, only to make choices that either propelled them towards its fulfilment or led them astray.

These stories serve as powerful reminders that destiny and purpose are not set in stone. Instead, they are prescribed by God, giving us the freedom to choose whether we will embrace and actively pursue them.

In Episode 2 of the season long focus on Purposeful Living, I explore the four ways purpose can find expression in your life daily, for an incredibly fulfilled and impactful life.

If you've ever wondered how to start living out your purpose in everyday life, then you won't want to miss the tips and insights I shared in this episode.

Welcome to Season 2 of the SuperAbundant Life Podcast! Today, we are kicking off with the first episode of a ten-part series on the topic of Purposeful Living.

Many of us believe that until we achieve grand and significant things and are world famous, we're not "fulfilling purpose". However, I want to challenge that notion and help you understand that every single breath you take is already leading you towards fulfilling your purpose on Earth.

Purpose is not something you find; it’s something you live. It’s the reason you get up in the morning and put your feet on the floor.

In today's episode, we'll discuss the definition of purpose, why it's important, and how you can find your own unique sense of purpose.

Furthermore, throughout this 10-episode series, we will be discussing ideas that will shift your mindset and boost your confidence in living out your purpose, even if you're stuck in a mundane career or a job you hate.

Buckle up, because Season 2 of the SuperAbundant Life Podcast is about to take you on an inspiring journey towards purposeful living.

Let's get started!

Empathy is a tremendously valuable trait that allows us to form deep connections and impact others through the help we render.

But considering no one has infinte supplies of time, energy, or money, how do you determine whom to help and when? How do you strike a balance between selflessness and self-preservation? How do you discern when helping becomes enabling?

Striking a balance between empathy and boundaries can be challenging, leading to feelings of guilt, burnout, and even resentment. 

In this series of four episodes, I explore how to navigate this balance, and how to continue to cultivate empathy towards others without compromising on healthy boundaries.

Sometimes, it feels easier to present a polished version of ourselves to God, hiding our doubts, fears, and insecurities behind a façade of religiosity. We settle for the safety of pretense and miss out on the profound rewards that come with being real with God.

In this episode, I delve into the complex relationship between faith, vulnerability, and our tendency as humans to hide the shameful parts of our lives. I teach about why - and how - you should step into vulnerability with God, knowing that true connection and healing await on the other side.

Do you often find yourself struggling to maintain consistency and follow-through when it comes to developing new habits and behaviours?

Ever found yourself regretting a rushed reaction, hasty decision, or uncontrolled outburst? Or perhaps, indulging a desire you know is not good for you?

Human beings are predisposed to emotional patterns such that when we're presented with challenging or tempting situations, we respond on auto-pilot, often in ways that are self-defeating and derail in all sorts of ways.

In this episode, I talk about how to cultivate emotional self regulation, the ability to respond - rather than react - to emotional stimuli.

We’ve all experienced it... You’re having a wonderful time with a lifestyle or new habit when out of nowhere, a major change comes along to disrupt your routines.

The disruption throws you off balance and you struggle again and again as you try to get back on track but fail miserably. Eventually, you give up and what was once a strong routine fades into oblivion.

It doesn’t have to end this way. And in this episode, I share practical strategies to help you power back on track after a major slip up.

I'm doing a two-part series on how to navigate the waiting season on two fronts.

The first is your disposition. How do you keep your emotional state consistently peaceful, joyful regardless of the ups, middles and downs you experience along the way?

Expertise is important. But in today’s highly competitive market, it’s not enough.

The ability to influence people through your words or your actions is a powerful and necessary tool if you’re looking to progress in your career or grow your business. Because quite simply, opportunities for growth come through people and they are more likely to pick you if they know, like or trust you.
