I think a major message from Inside Out as well was to be careful of the pursuit of happiness. Of course we saw through the lens of someone having the understanding of a child but even adults act out of character and do silly things in their pursuit of happiness. I do tend to believe that people aren’t good with their emotions because they don’t allow themselves to feel them. Then when those emotions become overwhelming they tend to shut down. “Pain demands to be felt” is one of my favorite...

Being a creative is a difficult thing. Especially in sweet T&T and not doing soca or dancehall or trinbad. I know it may sound like I’m ribbing on the people in my circle or my family for not being the support system that I need but I’m not. I know the onus is on me to find it within myself to pursue the dreams that I have for myself which is why I’ll be trying to go to more of these shows. Do my best to keep myself inspired by supporting my coworkers on their journey until it’s my time...

It often easy to reach for entertainment. This is the true barrier to consistency. It is a form of procrastination, especially when you know you have work that you should be doing. It’s easy though, and that’s why we tend to do it so much. Consistency seems like work, especially when you’re not in a workplace and it’s something that you want to do for yourself. It’s easier to use your time being entertained instead of working on that project that you started. Motivation also plays a part in...

I tend to find myself feeling a bit insecure speaking about myself too much. Like “no one wants to hear about your life that much.” But I keep reminding myself that I’m only sharing so others could listen and learn from it and not make my mistakes. I’m basically creating podcast episodes that would have helped me as an individual going through my life. I hope that that alone can be enough. I’m highlighting it here under this episode because the things I’m speaking about in this episode, had I...

It’s crazy the amount of things I’ve accomplished in that short time of setting my mind to it. I feel like it didn’t take much and a lot of the leg work was laid out before me already. One thing I’ll say and double down on tho is that the mind is a powerful tool. You have to make it work for you. It really feels like this all happened with the change of my mindset and I’m proud of that. Everyone has their own thing though and maybe mindset change isn’t it for you but we’re all already...

Just wanted to memorialize and honor the man that was my father. Loosing him hasn’t been easy but, I’m pressing on. I appreciate all of you that still listen to the podcast week to week. I do apologize for my absence but I’m back. Should be back on schedule. Truly do love everyone of you that continue to give me your support

The mind is a super computer, I’ve been told. And our way of programming that computer is by using self talk. We need to be really conscious of what we say to ourselves, even in our subconscious. Like I mentioned in the podcast, success is whatever you decide it to be. What happens is, we tend to allow the world to tell us what our success should look like and that’s the beginning of the error. Don’t allow outside factors to dictate your inner peace. Allow yourself to find your joy and your...

Don’t overlook the weeds while searching for flowers because oftentimes the weeds are flowers. But just like my episode on time, I will advocate for living life in the moment. Not only living in the moment but also appreciating it. We lose out on genuine happiness searching for faults in beautiful moments. Often because of who the moment is being shared with. We should be enjoying all the moments that we can. Protect your energy so don’t allow others to devalue your self-worth wither presence...

Shit to make me write again!! Of course it’s tragic that my bro had to loose his mom and I’m certainly there with him but we need to celebrate these beautiful moments. This is the beginning of new families. This is a huge step. A beautiful step. One I know they are all ready for. I really do feel so proud of all of my bro’s. It’s a blessing when you can find that person you want to be with for the rest of your life. From my sister getting married in April to my brother just a couple weeks ago...

So I wanted to start this description this week by shouting out everyone that I missed mentioning in the episode itself. Brandon for sure. Another one of the groomsmen and someone who has seen the growth of my brother first hand being that they both went to college together. I pray you don’t feel slighted that you weren’t mentioned verbally bro. Your presence and support was well noted. Keanon too. Another groomsman and my turn up breddren. We definitely brought life to everything we showed...

Interesting. It’s what this all is to me. Like i share my morning thoughts yes but the feelings that lead me to these think pieces are so deep. I’ve literally been taking a lot of these “all men” or “most men” statements really personally these days. I find myself looking for someone to blame as well for this. Women for their choices. Men for their behaviour. I’m human and my growth is infinite. This is a stop on my path so no worries. My podcast is here for me to share my thoughts but this...

Too often are people locked into jobs that they don’t like and don’t bring any fulfilment to their lives. It makes the days longer. The body weaker. The mind more on edge and ready to snap. Well I don’t know about all that but I do know that people work jobs they hate for the monetary gain and nothing else. Thats a bit sad in a day and age where you can become whatever you’d like to be professionally. Sometimes, also physically once you have the money to do so. My twin islands though may be a...

Just want to say Happy Birthday to Tevaughn and MJ again. Time has brought them around the sun another year, which is a fantastic thing. Worth the celebration of thirteen nations. And that's just the pre-game. The real celebration would be global. But yeah. Time. It brings growth and death altogether at the same time. I wanted to focus primarily on the positive in the episode this week but I am saddened by the life and light lost this week. A great dude with a speed demon. Was chatting with...

Teaching old dogs new tricks. What's funny is that my therapist had told me to mend my relationship with my mother and I genuinely don't see how. That would require me to forgive her and go forward in life with full knowledge that I will have to face that same abuse. I don't understand how that is supposed to be therapeutic. I'm just worried about my nieces and nephews. They are innocent and deserve much better than we were given but that seems difficult with my mom around. I also don't feel...

I have a lot of passion for this franchise and all its lore. It's not like the Master Cheif hasn't been characterized well, it's just that he's never been seen like this. He is afraid to take action but has to because the world's fate depends on him doing just that. This is a soldier that's been through years of service. His experience as a soldier has brought him to this point of viewing his actions, all his actions, under a microscope because he sees the ripple effects of his previous...

I need to reiterate that you don't owe anyone shit and no one owes you shit. You really have to accept people for who they are and if you can't that's absolutely ok. I had a fishing analogy that I cut from the episode: "A fisherman can't pull a catfish out of the waters and want it to change itself into a shark, or a shark into tuna, or tuna into mackerel. Why do we now think that we can bring someone into our live's and have them change for us? Granted, it does happen sometimes but it...

The Daily Reminder: "In a world where everyone settles, it's remarkable to follow your passion and create a life of freedom. It takes courage to do something that not everyone else is doing. Taking accountability for your own life makes you the architect of your future self. Be willing to risk everything for the fire in your soul, always choose freedom over the soul suffocating system. Sometimes things may get rough but always believe in yourself, there's a higher purpose unfolding through...

We are spiritual beings having a human experience. However, the dangers of inhabiting a physical form can many times deter us from having the transcendent experiences that we need in order to evolve. My guest for this episode is MJ - a professional creative and dear friend who shares a personal journey she had on an early morning hike in Speyside, Tobago.

The “yes” person archetype was interesting to learn about and I’m sure that most of you listening can relate to one of the 7 inner child archetypes mentioned. I was really good at figuring out really quickly what someone would like in their interactions with others. I lied a lot as well to fit in. I’m practicing to be more truthful now though. It’s interesting how badly we get messed up in our formative years just to spend our adult lives suppressing or healing traumas. All this while...

Ok, I know I say I'm ready to have kids but y'all should really take that with grains of salt. Like a lot of salt. Enough to kill a frog, truly. I'm probably just in a growing/healing mode. There's a lot you learn from yourself during the process as well. I've digressed. Getting back to the topic at hand. Recognition and accountability. That's the goal honestly. Stop seeing yourself as better for someone than what they choose for themselves. If you think like that. I spoke and used Hal as an...

Does anyone else do these audits of themselves and what they've accomplished in the past year? This episode is rambly and that's because I'm still trying to understand the idea that I've conceptualized. Usually, my mind bounces around a lot as well. That's how East Morning was started. The idea of auditing yourself I believe has always been around though. Maybe just not on your birthday like clockwork. I'd say one shouldn't concern themselves with these things. Live and enjoy life to the...

So if you came for the episode referenced, it's season 1 episode 2. Calm Within the Storm. For everyone else, thank you for being a loyal reader of the description. I think it's important to note that stepping back and taking your time with the storms in your life is ok. Sometimes the storms we face are so imposing that we may believe that our inactivity will lead to our demise but it isn't always true. Recognizing the difference between a life threat and something that feels like a life...

Letting go of friendships and relationships shouldn't be so hard. Again I believe that in an ideal world this would be the truth every time. Unfortunately, there's no such luck for us. Sometimes we hold onto relationships that have stopped meeting our needs long after we should have and we get hurt severely because of it. It brings to mind the meme with Jesus(yes Jesus) asking the young girl for her teddy bear and her not wanting to let it go. The whole time though, Jesus has a bigger teddy...
