During certain seasons of our lives (adolescence, young adulthood, etc.) , we look for validation from everyone but ourselves. We let what they see influence how we see ourselves. We expect too much of people and give up our own agency and influence as we become at the mercy of others. Loving and valuing ourselves from within is how we take our power back. Sometimes, what we seek, only we can provide. Here's my latest playbook containing 3 things you can do at dusk to start turning your groggy mornings into gratifying days .

To reach a true revelation, magic moment, or threshold, we have to go beyond what we think are our limitations. There's some juice in our tank that we haven't even tapped into yet. We don't even know what's at the bottom of our reservoirs. Everything you've been up to until this point... everything you've done is just the standard; the cost of entry. Crossing the breakthrough to know what you're made up of and breathing rare air requires that extra (metaphorical) pushup, and that's where the real work starts.

#99. Represent, Represent 21:32

In case you ever wondered, representation matters. When you're used to seeing yourself reflected within the popular content you consume, this is probably not something you think about much. For those of us on the fringes or whom are only most recently starting to be acknowledged across entertainment and institutions, representation is long overdue. I'm no expert on this topic because my experiences have been so unique. I'm more of the exception than the rule, yet I understand and agree that there are some seriously underserved groups. I want to see more folks who look like me in the content I consume. Leading roles in movies and TV. Leading positions in their careers. We need to see examples of what we can become since we aren't always supported at our homes and in our communities. Thanks for tuning in! Dig this episode?
