  • Episode 73: Unmasking Lies, Building Inner Strength with Mario Bekes

    Episode 73: Unmasking Lies, Building Inner Strength with Mario Bekes
    2025/05/28

    What if the biggest lies we face aren’t from others but they are the ones we believe about ourselves?


    In this raw and revealing episode, I sit down with Mario Bekes—former intelligence operative, investigative journalist, and host of Life The Battlefield—to talk about what it truly takes to build inner strength in a world full of deceit, pressure, and lies.


    Mario brings powerful insights from the world of espionage, psychological strategy, and military leadership — what moved me most was his vulnerability. This isn’t a conversation about war, tactics or deception. It’s a deep dive into resilience, truth, and what it means to live with integrity when life feels like a battlefield.



    ✨ WHAT YOU'LL DISCOVER IN THIS EPISODE


    🕵️‍♂️ The psychology behind deception—and how to spot it

    🧠 How intelligence tactics can be applied to our day to day conversations and strengthen relationships

    💥 The real cost of silence, secrets, and keeping the “peace”

    🫀 Mario’s personal story of rebuilding his life after war and adversity

    💬 Tools to strengthen your inner truth in business and in life



    💡 KEY TAKEAWAYS


    🔍 Truth is a Skill

    Learning to read people starts with learning to read yourself. Tune into your intuition, your body, and your boundaries.


    🛡️ Strength Can Be Soft Too

    Real resilience isn’t just power—it’s presence, healing, and the courage to slow down when the world tells you to speed up.


    🎯 Strategy is Self-Awareness

    Whether you’re leading a team or navigating a tough relationship, emotional intelligence is an underrated superpower.


    🔥 You Can Rise Again

    No matter what you’ve been through — betrayal, trauma or burnout, you have the power to rise. It starts by being honest with yourself.

  • Real Talk: Healing from Grief, Loss, Betrayal & Domestic Violence

    Real Talk: Healing from Grief, Loss, Betrayal & Domestic Violence
    2025/05/10

    Grief doesn’t always show up when expected and healing doesn’t happen overnight.


    In this Real Talk episode, I’m opening my heart to share five gentle yet powerful ways to move through grief—especially the kind that no one else can see. Whether you’re grieving the loss of a loved one, a dream, a relationship, or even a version of yourself you never got to become… this one’s for you. 🤍


    I’ll be sharing personal stories, grounding rituals, and soft reminders to help you honour what’s been lost and begin creating space for healing. No rush. No pressure. Just real, honest connection and a reminder that you're not alone.


    Let’s breathe through this together. 💛



    ✨ WHAT YOU'LL HEAR IN THIS EPISODE


    💔 Grief that isn’t always seen—loss of identity, dreams, or emotional wounds

    🧠 How grief lives in the body and nervous system

    🫁 The healing power of breath when emotions feel overwhelming

    📝 How writing, voice notes or movement can help grief be expressed

    🌿 Why safe spaces and connection are essential for emotional release

    🕯 Gentle rituals to honour what’s been lost

    😌 Grief and joy can coexist—healing doesn’t mean feeling sad all the time



    💡 KEY TAKEAWAYS


    🫁 Breathe Through It

    Grief can show up as tension in your body. Let breath be your anchor. Place your hand on your heart, and remind yourself: “This feeling is not too much. I can breathe with it.”


    🗣️ Let Grief Speak

    Write it. Voice note it. Paint it. Let it out. Grief doesn’t need a reason—just a release.


    👥 Find Safe Spaces

    Healing happens in safe company. Whether it’s a trusted friend, a support group, or time in nature—connection is key.


    🕯 Honour What Was Lost

    Light a candle. Speak their name. Visit a place that helps you feel close. Grief is love with nowhere to go—so give it space to be.


    🌈 Grief + Joy Can Coexist

    You’re allowed to smile and cry in the same day. It’s not betrayal—it’s resilience.
