Plan your family trip at aruba.com.

Hello my friends and welcome back to the pod. I am so, so, so, so, so, so, so excited for today's episode because this is episode 100 of Claim Your Power podcast. Can't even like believe that I filmed a hundred episodes of Claim Your Power. That is crazy to me, like thinking back and just reflecting on this whole journey with the podcast and

I have a very special episode planned for you guys, but I just want to start off this episode and say thank you from the bottom of my heart because this podcast isn't about me. It is a movement of people all over the world claiming back their power, aligning with their truest selves,

learning, growing, evolving. And if it wasn't for you, for your support, for your continual showing up every single week, this podcast would not exist. So I just want to say thank you from the bottom of my heart for all your messages, for all your support throughout the years. It's truly, truly remarkable. And

If you're someone who's been with me since day one, you have a very, very special place in my heart. You are awesome. And if you are someone who's recently discovered the podcast, you are also so amazing. And I'm so grateful for you guys for your presence, for being with me every single week.

You guys are awesome and I just wanted to say thank you from the bottom of my heart and may we only continue to grow this community and evolve together. So without further ado, today for this special 100th episode, we are going to talk about 100 lessons I learned about life, relationships, success, wellness, and self-love.

So I have compiled a list. Like this took me a couple of days to do because I had to do a lot of self-reflection and integration. But I've compiled a list of a hundred lessons that I have learned since starting the podcast from

all about these categories and I cannot wait to dive into them to share them with you. There is so, so much wisdom that's going to be coming up in this episode and I can't wait to get into it. And as always, if you guys have been loving the podcast, if you feel like Claim Your Power has made a positive impact on your life,

I would love and be so grateful if you rated the show, if you left a review, if you interacted with me in the Q&A and the polls. I appreciate it so much. I love hearing from you guys and it really helps your girl out. So let's get into it. A hundred lessons that I learned. Let's do this. I'm going to get into some of the lessons and kind of explain some of them. And for other ones, I'm just going to say what they are because there are still hundreds and I don't want this episode to be like three hours long.

So prepare yourself because there is so much wisdom and so much value in this episode. And feel free to pause and take notes if you feel like a lesson that I mentioned really, really resonates with you. But without further ado, which I've already said a couple of times, let's do this. Lesson number one, what you chase runs away from you. Every single time that you chase something in your life, you're just going to push it away because chasing energy never gets you what you want. It just puts you through.

you further and further away from what it is that you desire. So every time you chase something, it runs and every time you truly are in receiving energy, things can flow into your life. Lesson number two, your self-love must be stronger than your desire to be loved. And I really, really want to integrate this lesson into relationships because

Settling into mediocre relationships because you want to be loved while putting your self-love on the back burner will never serve you. Sometimes you will have to choose your own self-love in life in order to truly feel what love is instead of settling in something just because you're feeling lonely or you're in need of temporary gratification. Lesson number three, your struggles develop your strengths.

When you are feeling down, when you are facing rejection, heartbreak, any obstacles in your life, those are your stepping stones to growth and to greatness. And your struggles are there in order to help you develop and grow into the strong person that you were always destined to be. Lesson number four, energy is everything. Be aware of your surroundings, your social environment, because all of those things impact your growth.

who you surround yourself with. I always say like, show me your friends and I will tell you who you are. The people that you surround yourself with, the environments that you're constantly spending time in

they're going to impact you whether you like it or not. So make sure that those environments, those that you can truly control in your life, because I know sometimes in life we can't control every single environment we're in, like family dynamics and things like that. But the friendships that you put yourself through, the environments that you choose yourself in, make sure that those environments empower you and that make a positive impact on your life.

Lesson number five, drink more water. I cannot tell you how many times like I felt unwell and I just realized it was a lack of hydration. Drinking more water will just, I mean, we're made up of so much water. Like our bodies are what, like 70% water? Drink more water. It will help your skin. It will help your health. It will help your energy. Just make sure you're hydrated in this lifetime.

Lesson number six, the mind-body connection. Your emotions and your physical state are interconnected. And I really am curious, like for me, I'll share that I'm an Aquarius moon, so I really feel that my emotions impact my physical state. Whenever I would get in life with like a really big fight or drama or I'd be really angry, then I would find myself that situation.

same week feeling really drained, sometimes ill. So just be aware that your mind and your body are interconnected. And when you're experiencing a lot of emotional hardships, that can actually impact your physical state. So it's really important to tend to both of those sides of you and nurture both of those sides of you because they're interconnected.

Lesson number seven, you don't attract toxic people. Toxic people go to everyone, but people pleasers allow them to stay. And this is why setting boundaries is incredibly important. I used to be someone that was such a big people pleaser. You know all about it because I always talk about it on the pod. And I always used to think like, okay, maybe I'm the problem because I'm always attracting toxic people into my life.

but I realized I had this realization that like okay no toxic people literally go to everyone like it's not you're not the problem if a toxic person comes to you but

But it is important to have self-awareness if you allow that toxic person to stay in your life and marinate in your environment and your energy. This is why setting boundaries is incredibly, incredibly important. It's not selfish. It's an act of self-love. Lesson number eight, healing is not linear. You take one step back, two steps forward. So in life, sometimes you will think you heal through something, you peel through an experience, an emotion, something from your past, and then it will come out to play again and

And realize that if that happens to you, that doesn't necessarily mean that you're not healed. It means that you're being called to dive in deeper. So healing is like an inward spiral. It's not a straight slope and a straight line. And realize sometimes you will have to take one step back, two step forward, and that's completely natural and valid. Lesson number nine, what you resist persists. What you embrace dissolves. Every single time that you really, really resist something in your life,

then your life is just gonna keep showing you that same thing into your life because all of your focus and all of your energy is going into that place. And I always say like if you're unhappy with this place in your life, with where you are in life right now, you cannot hate yourself into creating a better life for yourself.

by embracing where you are right now, you can dissolve and step through it into a better reality for yourself. So every time you resist something, it will persist. And every time you decide to embrace the things that are uncomfortable for you, they will begin to dissolve because you no longer give them your power. Lesson number 10, someone else's success doesn't take away from your own potential.

I think so many of us in the past have had experiences where we see somebody else that was successful and we kind of let that hit our ego. But something that you have to realize is when you notice somebody else's success, that

that's actually reflecting to you your own potential. It doesn't take away from your own ability to succeed or level up. It's actually a reflection. And when you see that, you claim back your power from other people and you don't let them have power over you. Because when you're able to clap for somebody else's success, you're also able to attract your own success. If you truly believe that somebody else's success takes away from your own, then that has nothing to do with the other person, but everything to do with you.

Lesson number 11, the life ahead of you is far more important than the life behind you. This is the idea that we all have a past and

and sometimes a lot of us tend to cling to our past so hard because we think it's what defines us but the truth is your future and the future that you create for yourself is what defines you. So you need to be able to keep walking and looking forward. When you look around on the street, you don't see people walking backwards. It's not natural. So the same idea, you have to always keep walking forward and remember that

the life ahead of you is far more valuable and important than what's already happened in the past. Lesson number 12, your body is a sacred vessel. Only let aligned people have access to it. So this is for my people who have ever found themselves feeling disrespected, have been feeling really insecure about their body. And it's really important to realize that your body is truly a sacred vessel. And when you allow people into it, into its space,

and allow people to have access to it, you are permitting them to have an exchange of energy with you. This is not voodoo. This is science. And I can give you an example to just back up this lesson. If you're a woman and let's say you went through a breakup and then you decided to have a one night stand with a really random guy that you've barely even known,

Maybe you experience instant gratification in the moment, but most likely when you woke up the next day, you did not feel so good about yourself. And that is because that was the type of energy exchange that you had in that moment. Now, I'm not saying never have sex and I'm not saying go crazy. I'm just saying be aware of who you allow into your space and honor your body because

Truly, women's bodies are sacred vessels. I mean, we create life through our bodies. So it doesn't get more divine and sacred than this. So realize that when you let somebody else into your body and into your sacred vessel and space,

Make sure that those people are aligned with who you are because when you have sex with someone, you are literally exchanging energy and you are taking up that other person's trauma, their wounds, their limiting beliefs, their fears. You're taking that up and that person's doing the same for you. So you want to make sure that that person, when you're exchanging that energy with them, you're taking up the right person's energy, not someone that's in non-alignment phase.

Lesson number 13. Rejection is protection. Sometimes in life you will be rejected from certain people, from certain experience, from certain opportunities that you thought were meant for you. And you just have to trust that there is some divine protection happening behind the scenes that you can't yet see. And most of the time you will realize why you got rejected after the fact and you will have a lot more clarity. So you just have to trust that rejection is protection. Lesson number 14.

True love feels calm and if you feel anxious around someone in your life that you have feelings for, that may not be true love, it could be attachment. So there's no black and whiteness to this but I will say that when you are truly with the right person, 90% of the time you will feel calm and centered and grounded and aligned with your feminine energy. And if you're constantly feeling stressed or anxious or worried, ask yourself, is this truly love?

Or is this a bond or an attachment? Because when you truly love someone, you don't feel a need to control their every move. You don't feel a need to change them. You feel a need to embrace who they are and embrace who you are in the process. That's what true love is. Love feels calm and memorable and aligned and safe and secure. And if it doesn't feel like that, reassess with yourself if what you have is truly love. Lesson number 15 says,

airplane mode is good for the soul you are allowed to disconnect in order to reconnect with yourself

So you are allowed to disconnect sometimes in life. It is okay. You don't always have to be on. I mean, if you think about our ancestors, they didn't even have technology and they just lived in so much alignment with nature. That's how we're truly meant to be. But we live in a very fast-paced hustle culture that deprives us and makes us feel guilty or lazy for wanting to take a step back and disconnecting.

But sometimes shutting off the phone, going out to nature, being with yourself, that may be good for the soul. So sometimes if you feel a need to do it, follow that thread. Lesson number 16, believe in your vision before others believe in you. The truth is, it is not other people's job to believe in you. It is your job to believe in yourself.

You do not need other people to believe in you in order to accomplish the things that you want in life. You need to trust and believe in yourself and know that when you continue to believe in your own visions, slowly with time, people will reflect that energy to you. But you do not need other people to believe in you in order to act on your dreams and on your desires. Lesson number 17, focus on impact over income. Money is an energy that will follow suit.

if you're constantly chasing the next paycheck the next dime and every single thing that you're doing is not actually from a place of impact but because you desire to make money off of it you are not in alignment with the energy of abundance when you truly do something out of a place of

passion and knowing that the universe will reward you for making an impact on others and for following your dreams and knowing that the universe has your back and it's constantly providing for you when you focus on the why of why you are doing the thing that you're doing, why you are helping other people, why you are starting that business.

why you work in that field, then the money will just follow suit because you do not need to chase money. Money is an energy that when you are aligned with the state of abundance, money just flows into your life with ease. Lesson number 18, sometimes you are the problem. You know that Taylor Swift song like, am I the problem? Yeah, it's me. Yeah, sometimes you are the problem and self-awareness makes you strong, not weak.

So it's okay to also realize that we all make mistakes. Sometimes we are the toxic ones. Sometimes we are the problematic person in a relationship. Like that is fine. We have all been there and that's why self-awareness is key. And that's why having self-awareness makes you strong because it means that you are willing to do something that most people don't do and that is take a deep look in the mirror and

So forgiving your past self is incredibly crucial and realizing that you're human, you're not perfect, you will make mistakes. Sometimes you are the problem, but if you are the problem, then that means that you are also the solution. Lesson number 19, holding on to resentment and anger to others will only make you suffer at the end.

I know we think that if we hold on to resentment and anger and make other people feel as miserable as we do in the moment, then we're going to feel good about ourselves. But the truth is, the more you're lacking forgiveness for other people in the life, the more you are resentful and have anger towards other people, that's going to affect you. It's going to affect your physical health, your emotional health, your mental health.

At the end of the day, it doesn't really impact other people because everyone's on their own path. So being able to forgive other people is something that you do for yourself and for your own health and joy, not other people. Lesson number 20, we fall and we fail, but then we rise and overcome.

There will be moments in your life where you will fall and you will fail and you will have to pick yourself up during those moments. You are judged by not the fact that you fell, but by how you rose once you fall. Lesson number 21, keep your relationships and your money private.

Some things are meant to be shared with the whole world. This is a really, really valuable piece of advice. Not everyone has to know about your financial status. Not everyone has to know about your relationship. Some things you should honor and keep private for yourself. It's really, really important. Lesson number 22 is

life is to be lived, not control. Go with the flow and have more fun and be more playful more often. This human experience is short. When we try to control every single aspect of our life,

We often forget to live our life. And so let life surprise you. Go with the flow. Get out of your comfort zone. Have fun because when you're in a flow state, good things come into your life. Lesson number 23, emotions are released through the body, not the mind. I was actually talking to one of my friends who's going through a long-term relationship breakup right now. And I was telling them that

Your emotions are valid and the way that you'll be able to release them is through the body, not the mind. You can't overthink your emotions. So if you're going through a heartbreak, if you're grieving, if you're sad, if you're angry, grieve in motion. Be sad in motion. Go on a walk and be angry.

Go to the gym and be sad. Go to a dance class and feel the grief and feel the heartbreak. And the way that we release our emotions is by movement, is through the body, not through the mind. Lesson number 24, have an open mind and show people compassion in a world full of judgment.

I think this is such an important life lesson that I actually learned this year. When people think differently than you, when people don't have the same life experience as you or they don't have as much knowledge or wisdom or they lack information, a lot of us, what we tend to do is we tend to pin against each other and perpetuate more polarization and divide.

And I think it's really important for all of us to be the type of person that continues to show up to people with compassion, even if you disagree with them, instead of contributing to a world that is already full of judgment. Lesson number 25. Lesson number 26.

When you find your mind racing with thoughts, just breathe. Let that inhale and exhale calm you down. It actually disrupts your neuropathway in that moment. When you breathe, when you take a moment to consciously take a deep breath in and out, it will disrupt the neuropath in your brain and make you feel more calm, more centered, more grounded. It's an amazing technique you can do for

From anywhere, you don't need anything other than your breath to anchor yourself into the present moment whenever you're feeling anxious or fearful or stressed.

Lesson number 27, shine regardless. The sun doesn't give a fuck if it blinds people and neither should you. Lesson number 28, gratitude journal every single morning because this sets your mind for positive energy. The energy of gratitude is incredibly, incredibly powerful and being able to tap to it each morning is just so valuable and important.

And that's exactly why I created the Claim Your Power Journal. I'll link it in the episode description if you guys want to get your own copy. But you can journal with it every single morning. Tap into the energy of gratitude. It's very, very powerful. Lesson number 29, ask your spirit guides for help. They are always listening, but you have free will.

So this is the idea that we all have a team of light, of angels, of guides, whatever you decide to call it. They are always guiding us and they're watching over us. But we also live in a world where we have free will and when we need help, when we need guidance, we can use that free will to ask for their help. So I have had so many situations in my life where I felt fearful, stressed, I felt confused,

lost, discouraged. And what I do in those moments is I call in my team of light. I call in my spirit guides and my angels and I ask them for help. And moments after, I will have more clarity. I will start seeing signs, symbols, whatever it is. But they are there to help you. They want to help you. But you need to ask for their help. Lesson number 30, be selective in your battles. Sometimes peace is better than being right.

I think all of us have this ego inside of us that sometimes always wants to be right or win the argument. But sometimes, guys, it's not worth it. Sometimes peace is just so much more important than being right because it's honestly just worthless trying to explain yourself to people committing to misunderstanding you. So sometimes choosing your peace is the best option. Lesson number 31, be patient with yourself.

because often your hardest critic is actually yourself, not other people. Lesson number 32, pain is often the catalyst and the biggest motivator for change. When the world experiences pain and sorrow, that motivates us to change. When we experience pain in our own personal life, that is our biggest opportunity for growth. Lesson number 33, leave time in your schedule to

for yourself. Sometimes the most productive thing that you can do is rest. And I know in a society that teaches us that hustle culture and going after and chasing your goals is priority.

I am telling you with a full heart that sometimes what your body and mind needs is rest and that's sometimes the most productive thing you can do for yourself. So don't deprive yourself of resting when you need it. Lesson number 34, never stop dreaming because if you stop dreaming, you stop living. We are meant to be dreamers. We are meant to be visionaries. Never stop dreaming at the cost of no one.

Lesson number 35, you can't create a new life for yourself by hating where you are now and you can't create a new version of yourself by hating who you are now. Everything starts with acceptance first. Lesson number 36, peace will often feel like boredom when you're used to chaos. If you're ever in a new relationship and you feel like it's too boring, ask yourself, is it actually boring? Are you actually unfulfilled? Which is sometimes the case.

Or is it just really fucking peaceful and you're not used to it so it feels uncomfortable? Lesson number 37, stick to your truth always, even if it doesn't resonate with somebody else. Because your truth, that's who you are. That's your compass. That's your anchor. Never let anybody else shame you into your truth. Take that away from you. If you know in your heart that something is true, stick to it and honor it because that is your willpower.

Lesson number 38, the things you resist doing like going to the gym, start dating again, quitting a job, etc.

are the things that your soul actually needs most. And that resistance is the little urge, it's a little pathway that's showing you that your soul is actually in desperate need of you to take that next leap, that action, because on the other side of it is your greatest potential. Lesson number 39, chemistry isn't the same thing as alignment. Do with this info what you will.

Lesson number 40, if someone willingly chooses to walk out of your life, hold the door open for them. It is not your job to beg people to stay in your life and sometimes people walk out of your life for a reason because they fulfill their purpose.

So being able to hold the door open for them and being okay with them walking out of your life, even when it hurts, even if it feels uncomfortable, even if it pains you, begging someone to be in your life and stay in your life when they don't want to is a massive disrespect towards yourself.

Lesson number 41, everything comes down to energy and vibration. And at the end of the day, your energy is your currency. So make sure you nurture it and tend to it. Lesson number 42, your skin is a reflection and a mirror of your inner state and emotions. If you're someone who struggled with acne like me for a long time,

Through a lot of trial and error and self-reflection, I've realized that on days where I felt really good and confident, my skin was thriving. And on days where I experienced a lot of self-judgment, lack of acceptance, a lot of pain in my life, my skin was reflecting that to me through acne.

So your acne is actually messengers through and your skin is actually a messenger. So if things are showing up on your skin, it's really important to not only tend to the physical side of it but also the emotional side of it. Start asking yourself questions. What stress, what anxiety, what pain have I experienced recently that may have resulted to the skin?

And how can I allow my skin to be a reflection and my messenger to understanding myself on a deeper scale? Lesson number 43, don't cross oceans for people who wouldn't even get in the water for you. There's nothing wrong with being selfless and generous to certain individuals in your life.

But make sure that the people that you're making sacrifices for are people who would return that same energy. Lesson number 44. Sometimes you have to be able to give it up to finally get it. Sometimes the thing that you really desperately want in your life, you have to be able to surrender it and completely give it up to the universe in order to truly receive it. Lesson number 45.

What you consume isn't just food. It's also the music you listen to, the people you follow on social media, the shows you watch, the news, the people you spend time with. All of those things are things that you consume. So be conscious. Lesson number 46. When in doubt, practice gratitude. It is the best way to raise your frequency. Lesson number 47.

Date multiple people at a time and keep your options open until someone actually comes into your life and proves themselves worthy of your commitment. This is not from a place of arrogance, of selfishness, or I'm better than other people. It's just from a place of honoring your true divinity and knowing that you don't commit to someone unless they have shown you

up in your life in a way that is worthy committing to and that is why I always tell women date multiple men at a time because that allows you to not get overly emotionally attached to people so fast because as women we have this tenacity to you know idolize a man and put him on a pedestal and over attach ourselves to them very very quickly without truly knowing them and so being able to date multiple people at a time when you're back in the dating game allows you to really witness and

and see what it is that you truly want out of a relationship and then make a decision from an abundant place, not from a desperate place of, okay, this is my only option in front of me, so I have to pick it.

Lesson number 48, romanticize the mundane things and don't take the small sacred moments for granted because when you look back in life, which I'm not old enough to say so, but from speaking with my grandparents, when you look back in life, we will be the ones that will really nurture and take pride in the small sacred moments, not the big mundane accomplishments and the money and

We will take pride in the love we experience, the people we met, the experiences we had because those are priceless. Lesson number 49, other people in your life will mirror yourself to you and your triggers that come up are your greatest opportunities for growth.

So don't be so quick to blame other people for your triggers or run away from your triggers. See them as opportunities to get to know deeper yourself, to understand who you are on a deeper level, and to use them as stepping stone for personal evolvement and elevation. Lesson number 50, we are halfway.

Get lucky today.

When you're angry, physically move your body. Go to a rage room, scream, run, but don't let the anger just marinate in your mind. Release it physically because anger is genuinely an emotion that goes so much through our body. Like when you get angry, you're angry, you're angry, you're angry.

You might feel your veins spiking up. You might feel yourself getting really red and hot-headed and all these things. It's like an emotional response to anger in our body and that's why the way we release anger and move forward from it is through the body and by releasing it physically. Lesson number 51, be okay with being misunderstood because it's not somebody else's job to understand who you are.

who you are, who your soul is, what makes you happy. That's your only job. Other people aren't supposed to understand why you do the things that make you happy. You understand why they make you happy and that's what matters. Lesson number 52, money is an energy exchange. Develop a relationship with money. Take it out on dates, write it love letters, think it, welcome it into your life. When you nurture your relationship with money, your relationship with money completely shifts because

Because money is nor good or bad. It's just the way you nurture it and develop a relationship with it. Lesson number 53, your fears are your portal to your potential. Your fears show you the parts of yourself that still need healing. Your fears show you the parts of yourself that are holding you back.

Listen to them, honor them, and conquer them. Lesson number 54, normalize people no longer being in alignment with you. Outgrowing relationships is a natural part of life. Not every single person is meant to be in alignment with you throughout your entire life. Let's normalize it and keep moving forward. Lesson number 55, allow yourself to shed the old layers of yourself because you're an ever-evolving and multidimensional being.

You're allowed to change. You're allowed to grow. And some people in your life might not like that. Some people will want to keep you as the old version of yourself. But you have to give permission to yourself to shed the old layers of your past in order for you to, you know, blossom into the person that you are meant to be. It's kind of like a butterfly. A butterfly has to go through a period of metamorphosis before it spreads its wings. Allow yourself to shed those layers in order to move on and become a higher version of yourself.

Lesson number 56, have a curfew in the beginning stages of dating. This is something that I think is so beneficial to every woman and ever since I started doing that in my dating life, it has really changed the game for me. When you have a curfew for yourself, you honor your energy and your time. This is not like when you have a serious relationship and a boyfriend. When you're just in the beginning stages of dating, when

When you have a curfew, that means you honor your time. You know, you go on a date and you're telling yourself, okay, by 11 p.m. I'm back in my bed. I'm not going to be out on a first date going crazy with some person that I don't know. I'm going to honor my energy. And by the way, there's nothing wrong with also like going out and having that fun experience with human life and we can do whatever we want. But I think that if you're someone that's taking dating as a stage to building a serious relationship,

honoring your time and having like a curfew set up for yourself is just a really great way to do it and honor your energy so you know okay even if I met this great person I'm

I'm not going to over give my time right away. I'm going to take it slow. I'm going to honor myself and let things work out in their natural wave of process. Lesson number 57, success is attained from within. It doesn't matter how much money or recognition you get until you truly feel happy and whole within yourself. You will always strive for things outside of you to fill the void.

So realize that success is truly something that you give yourself from within before the external accomplishments. Otherwise, if you pin your success and your happiness on the external accomplishments, you'll never actually feel success and happy. 58, the people who are the most different than you in your life are the people who have the most to teach you. The people who are very different than you, who think very differently than you, who see life in a completely different perspective than you, those are the people that have a lot to teach you.

Sometimes it's people that have a lot to teach you about life and about how to view life in a different perspective and how to have more wisdom. And sometimes those are the people that will teach you patience and will teach you compassion and acceptance for those that are different than you. Either way, they have a lot to teach you. So instead of getting triggered by them for thinking differently than you, ask yourself what is the lesson in this relationship.

Lesson number 59, home is where the heart is. Be comfortable with change and as long as you're anchored and centered within yourself, you will be okay no matter the waves of change that will be happening outside of you. Lesson number 60, dance more, sing more, laugh more. Life is meant to be fun and you are meant to experience all of those things. Do not deprive yourself of that.

Lesson number 61, know who you are so well so no one else can tell you otherwise. If you don't know who you truly are at your core, you're putting yourself in a position for allowing other people to tell you who you are.

Never put yourself in that place. Get to know yourself on a deep level so that when other people try to tell you who you are or what you think, they have no power over you because you know yourself inside out and you know yourself better than other people. And let me just say that this is a never evolving process. Like you're not just going to wake up one day and know all of your darkest fears and traumas and secrets. But every single day, if you're committed to getting to know yourself, that is enough to stop other people from having power on telling you who you are.

Lesson number 62, celebrate the small wins too. Life is also about the small and the mundane, not just the big extravagant wins.

Lesson number 63, the universe always has your back even if it doesn't seem like it in the moment. Lesson number 64, if you are a woman, cycle syncing will forever change your life. Learn about it. I actually have a whole episode on cycle syncing that you can binge and learn all about cycle syncing. Learn about it. Educate yourself on it because it will completely change your life. Lesson number 65, less is more in health. It's

It's not necessarily about taking a billion supplements. It's actually about getting down to the basics. Diet, exercise, sunshine, sleep, meditation. If you are doing all of those things, you will see a monumental change in your health. Sometimes when we go through certain health issues, we want to find the band-aid solution, but it's really always coming down to the basics and you would be surprised at how so many women experience so many health problems and

and they lack a lot of the basic necessities. Lesson number 66, be aware of people who are always there for you when you're down, but then when you're succeeding and thriving, they are nowhere to be found. Those are the type of people that hold secret jealousy for you in your life. The true friends in your life aren't just the people who are there for you when you're down. Yes, that is very important, but it's also the people who are there for you when you're thriving. And if you have certain friends in your life who are always there for you when you're sad and crying and stressed,

But when you're succeeding in something, you get a new promotion, you're in a new relationship, something goes well in your life, they're kind of incognito, nowhere to be found. Be really, really aware of that because those are certain people that thrive out of feeling like the bigger person in a relationship. Be really aware of that because jealousy likes to lurk in the alleyways and in the background and it's really important to be aware of who's actually there for you and who's only there for you when you're struggling.

Lesson number 67, fall in love with the person who makes you feel calm and centered, not the person who gives you butterflies and hot and cold energy. Because again, coming back to this idea that hot and cold energy isn't necessarily love, a lot of the time it's attachment.

Lesson number 68, rekindle your relationship with your inner child because as an adult, it is your job to reparent them. And as I'm saying this, it is 11-11. Rekindle your relationship with your inner child even if your parents made mistakes in

treated you badly, whatever it is, everyone is on a different family dynamic and we all kind of retain some form of trauma from our parents because that's just how life works. I mean, it's the people that are most closest to us and raised us. So of course, we're going to pick up the good and the bad from them.

realize that it is your parents first time being parents in this lifetime too and instead of blaming them for your problems take back your power and realize it is your job to heal yourself and heal your inner child even if your parent disappointed or failed you your inner child needs you now more than ever show it the love it truly deserves

Lesson number 69, breathe more fresh air. Spend time outside and breathe the fresh air. I don't know why, but there is something so therapeutic and healing about breathing fresh air from outside that will genuinely calm down your entire nervous system. Lesson number 70, forgive the friends in your life who have wronged you because they came divinely into your life to show you your power.

I know a lot of us tend to hold on to a lot of resentment and anger to certain friendships in our life who betrayed us, who hurt us. But realize that if it wasn't for those people, maybe you wouldn't have had that life lesson. Maybe you wouldn't have grown. Maybe you wouldn't have shown your strength or your power. So instead of...

hating them and giving them so much of your energy and negativity, forgive them and realize they serve their purpose in your life and now you can move forward knowing the lesson and knowing that they don't deserve access to your energy anymore. Lesson number 71, forgive yourself for your past because you are not that past version of yourself anymore. Maybe you're not that past version of yourself that made that mistake, that was naive, that hurt themselves, that hurt other people. Forgive yourself. Self-forgiveness is the greatest act of self-love.

Lesson number 72, your journey is unique. Don't compare it to other people. Comparison is our biggest weakness. Do not let it feed off of you. Lesson number 73, risks lead to growth and comfort zone leads to stagnation. If you choose sustain or comfort zone, maybe you will feel safe, but you will also never grow.

Lesson number 74, vulnerability is the key to fostering deep connections. And if you stay closed off, maybe you won't get hurt, but you also won't feel the full capacity to love. Loving someone takes vulnerability and being vulnerable is power. Lesson 75, consistency beats intensity.

Lesson number 76, learn to accept criticism from others. You're not perfect and no one else is either. And allowing yourself to accept criticism and feedback from others elevates yourself as a person as well.

It doesn't mean that every single thing that somebody tells you is true about yourself that's critical, but sometimes people tell us criticism and feedback that's actually useful for our growth and we have to be able to put our ego aside and accept it. Lesson number 77, if you find your joy in the journey and the process itself, therefore the outcome won't impact you. If you focus on the journey, not the destination, it won't really matter where you end up because you're enjoying the process of becoming.

Lesson number 78, exercise is a celebration of what your body can do, not a means to judge or inflict negativity on yourself. Lesson number 79, spend more time in nature because this will heal your soul. Lesson number 80, your happiness is your responsibility, nobody else's.

Lesson number 81, prioritize experiences over possessions because possessions lose their meaning, but experiences always remain memorable. Lesson number 82, create yourself a life that feels so good on the inside, not just that looks good on the outside. It is not useful to have a life that looks lavish and amazing from the outside, but leaves you miserable on the inside.

Lesson number 83, be and remain a lifelong student. You are always learning even if you mastered something. That's why I always say even though I'm a yoga teacher, I'm forever a longtime student of yoga. There are so many things I don't know about yoga, so many things I need to still learn and I'm always a lifelong student. I am a student of life and we are all students of life.

Lesson number eighty-four. When dating, understand your values, your interests, and your deal breakers, and be able to walk away from what isn't what you truly desire. Lesson number eighty-five. Authenticity attracts the right people into your life, and being inauthentic to yourself will attract the wrong ones. Lesson number eighty-six.

Slow and steady wins the race. Sometimes rushing is the slowest way to get to the place you want to get. Lesson number 87, things in life change and evolve. You have to be able to be flexible. When you're constantly resisting every single change in your life, you're actually depriving yourself of what life is because things are always going to change and evolve in your life. And that's not necessarily a bad thing. Change is actually a good thing. It means that you're growing.

So number 88, self-care is essential. So always dedicate time for yourself, even if you are short on time in your schedule. At the end of the day, this excuse that we don't have enough time is fake. We always make time for what it is is important to us. And self-care should be at the top of your list.

Lesson number 89, have a mentor in your life that you can look up to. A coach, a therapist, a friend, an influencer. Have someone in your life that's truly a mentor for you, that can inspire you, and that can empower you. Mentorship is incredibly valuable when it comes to learning and growing as a person, as a soul, as a business owner, like every single aspect of your life.

Lesson number 90, stop the self-deprecating jokes. They are toxic even if you think they're funny because the way that you speak yourself, the words that you use to describe yourself will be the house that you live in.

Lesson number 91, awareness to yourself is 80% of the work. The greatest thing that you can give yourself is have self-awareness. When you are aware of your flaws or your mistakes or your limiting beliefs, that's 80% of the work. We think that when we're aware, we have like a really long way to go after. But the thing is, the biggest struggle for people is to actually have self-awareness in the first place. Lesson number 92, saying no is a form of self-love.

Lesson number 93, being single is an opportunity for immense self-discovery and growth. Embrace it. Sometimes our breakups are our greatest breakthroughs.

Lesson number 94, enjoy the journey of meeting new people and trying new things. Because not every single person you meet in life has to be your soulmate or your best friend. Sometimes people come into your life for a short while and that's valuable too. And we can still enjoy and embrace what those people have to teach us. Lesson number 95, don't ever compromise your core values for the sake of a relationship. Because if you do, you will regret it later on.

Lesson number 96, stop breaking your own promises because the biggest way to build trust is to first build trust with yourself. Number 97, if you're jealous, that emotion is showing you either where you feel insecure or a deep desire that you know is meant for yourself too. So when you're jealous of someone in your life or that you follow, realize that that's either showing you a part of yourself that you're feeling really insecure about as well or

Or it's showing you a part of yourself that you desperately want for yourself as well. And that jealousy is just a little pinpoint to show you, okay, I actually want this too. And deep down inside, I know that I'm also worthy of it. So how can I get there? Lesson number 98, never leave positive thoughts inside.

If you see someone like a cashier or a random person on the street and you like their outfit or you think they're beautiful or whatever it is, compliment the person when you have the urge to because that probably means that you're meant to. If you have this urge...

It truly means that you're meant to deliver that compliment. Don't keep it inside. There has been so many times where I have regretted keeping a compliment inside when I shouldn't have. And after a long while of me doing that because I was embarrassed to like reach out to random people on the street, I just decided like, fuck it. I'm just going to start complimenting and spreading positivity with whoever I feel the need to. And

In the past couple of months, I've been doing that. And guys, it is so rewarding to like see someone else's smile on their face when you give them positive wisdom and like positive compliments that you genuinely think about them. It will make you feel so good. It will make the other person feel good. And our world is in desperate need of so much more love. So don't keep it inside.

Lesson number 99, quality over quantity always. It is so much better to be in your own company or in the company of a couple of people that empower you than to be in poor company. Like I would rather have a couple of close friends than have a thousand friends that I don't feel close to at all. And lesson number 100, trust your intuition because your intuition is your power.
