S2: Conclusion: Our Struggles and Upcoming Events

In this episode, I'm flying solo again! I wanted to share a quick personal story about how I was removed from a business a few years ago, and the things I've done to ensure that it doesn't happen again. We can always put our best foot forward and go above and beyond, and I wanted to talk to you all about how it's changed my position not only at my job but also with my self-esteem. Here are some of the things you can do to establish yourself as a confident and reliable person wherever you go!

S2: How To Be Irreplaceable

Opportunities seem to strike at random times, sometimes when we aren't even prepared to take them. I believe we all have some form of goals even if we don't share them publicly. However, some of us just wait for things to happen for us rather than taking control of the things we seek and prepare for off-chance that opportunity shows itself to us. Eduardo and I have been working on things behind-the-scenes that allows us to open the doors of opportunity, and in this episode we share our insights on something new that has come our way and how it started with nothing more than a simple idea.

S2: Are You Prepared For Incoming Opportunities?

Everybody has that friend who likes to do everything themselves, they refuse help and try to do it all on their own. Or are you that friend everyone has? We can be stubborn at times, wanting to take credit for things we do, feeling like taking help means we don't deserve the full credit. After working closely together for some time now, Eduardo and I learned that it's important to rely on each other, and it's something we want to help others understand. It's more than okay to ask for help, rely on others, or even seek more knowledge from people. The bigger your dreams, the more hands you will need to help you manifest the vision. Eduardo and I have a conversation about the benefits of working together versus the ramifications of doing everything solo.

S2: Teamwork Makes the Dream Work

Desires are things we strongly wish for, yet we have a tendency to leave desires as nothing more than that. Why do we have such cravings in life that we choose to not follow? We believe it comes down to conditioning. Society tells us what's cool and what's not, and both succumbing to society and fighting the urge to fall in line are choices. In this episode, we briefly discuss our desires before talking about how we must decondition ourselves to allow ourselves the opportunities that we deserve to take.

S2: Desires and Deconditioning

Life is essentially one of those machines that's constantly throwing us curve balls, and it's safe to say most of us prefer linear, predictable throws. When things ahead of us start looking shaky and unpredictable, we tend to go back to our comfort zones to avoid all the potential disasters we create in our heads. But why is it that we give up? What causes us to throw in the towel without giving things a fair shot? Why do we let go of the bat before we put in a real effort to hit those curve balls? This episode, We dive into some of the reasons we feel causes us to run back to what we know instead of attempting to tackle life's challenges.

S2: Are You Giving Up Too Soon?

It's normal to have what we call "bad days." However, it's too often that we allow bad days to ruin something good. One of the greatest tools that we have been learning about during this journey is learning to push through difficult times, depression, anxiety, or even just laziness. All those things (and more) crave one thing and that's more negativity. If we feed that energy with more negative energy, it's a very fast downhill ride from there. In this episode we get candid about days like those and why we believe you should work through them, instead of succumbing to them.

S2: Pushing Through the Rough Patches

In this episode, we weigh out the differences between sticking to a path where money is guaranteed, or following your intuition and chasing your dreams. There are lots of opinions on which path is "the right one" but we share both perspectives as well as why we feel you should choose the path you believe in, as well as how you could go about it!

S2: Do More of What You Love

We invested a lot of time building the foundation of our message in the first season, establishing the focus on mindset and mental health. This season, we are taking what we said and applying it into more practical situations such as business, social life, and home life.
