Self Sabotage

Why do you stop yourself before you even try? Stop lookin down on yourself, stop sayin you can't, stop hurtin yourself. We are so scared of how great we can be if we consciously put our mind and body to it, i have heard people say, we don't deserve anything, only what life gives us,darling you deserve the life you see in the movies and billboards that make your eyes light up, you deserve it. Do not stop yourself from being great. Be your number one fan, you are a god.

Let's talk : Non-attachment 

This episode is rich and very important to y'all out there.

Being Real

In the world today we can't help but guard up, we can't be vulnerable, there's no room for that because we don't wanna be seen as being weak, or formin something, we wanna be acceptable so we shove our feelings deep down and put on the coat of "New Me". Try to be you, start with a day, you might even catch yourself being happy with who's in the mirror.                        Be yourself, everyone else is taken - Oscar Wilde

Glad Tidings

Wishing you all a Merry Christmas and a thrilling prosperous New year.

Jealousy: Sign of love or lack of trust

It's been a minute, but we still here dishing new topics from different perspectives. Share your opinion, tell me what you think.

What do you see in the mirror?

What you see in the mirror is your reflection, we don't always see our awesomeness or perfection, we tend to look for errors or compare ourselves with people or situations happening around. You have to consciously remind yourself how amazing you are, how far you have come, you might not be perfect, you might have some flaws, change your mindset, you are beautifully flawed, a limited edition, a work in progress, give yourself a tap on the shoulder, boost your confidence, no matter what you may be going through.

It takes tike for good things to come your way, but it does come.

Live your life Kingsize as @fouzi_6 said.
We have one life to live, don't spend it self shaming/sabotaging.

Relationships with Parents 

Can we choose our parents? No....Can we choose the family we want to be born into? No   Do we have the power to determine how the relationship goes? Most definitely.    I love a relationship where my parents are my bestfriends, sounds like a fairytale but i bet you want the same. The question now is What are you gonna do about it?

Deal Breakers 

Some things we didn't have time to say on the podcast, deal breakers are things that don't work for you, and these are things that could have been influenced by how you grew up, people you have come across, past relationships etc. 


Do not ignore the breakers/flags with the mindset of, he/she will change, whatever you start with, you have to be willing to finish. Do not start off with, I can manage when you know in your hearts of heart it's a big deal for you, but because some other boxes are ticked or because of people's opinions you choose to "MANAGE".


A relationship should not be out of pity and a relationship should be enjoyed not endured.
Deal Breakers can be Disrespect, Communication skills, Humour, Unreliability. Your deal breakers should make sense to you, not the world.

Addiction: Pornography and alcohol with Joshua Shea

No-one wants to be seen as an addict, no-one wants to accept being an addict. Keeping it a 100, we are all addicts, addicted to food, phones, people, drugs, anything. Everyone is addicted to something and you know what? It's fine really, the problem really isn't in being an addict, it's staying an addict. Work on it, change your mindset, Mabel is addicted to a shit load of things, but I'm gonna consciously work on it, why? Bcos it ll control me if I don't control it, the lesser power bows eventually. So what do you say, I'm not saying it's easy, but it's worth a shot, you won't know if you don't try, right. Love ya
