Have you ever felt trapped in your life? Like... you know you should change, but you just can’t?  In this episode I share with how our brains in a bid for survival amplify the fear of change, often leading to stagnation.  If you are an immigrant struggling with cultural disconnect and language barriers I want to take you on a journey of self discovery.  By revisiting our past and acknowledging our growth we can shatter these barriers.  You and I, as immigrants we have already mastered the art of adaptation.  Let’s leverage this strength, redefine our relationship with fear, embrace change and celebrate our growth.  Here is the link to your video self coaching exercize: https://youtu.be/ioO1rvXbPkA To join our Facebook Group "Pogaduchy na Emigracji" click here: https://www.facebook.com/groups/1106767306991881/ SIGN UP FOR FREE COURSE ON HOW TO FEEL GOOD HANGING OUT WITH AMERICANS WHEN YOU ARE THE ONLY IMMIGRANT IN THE GROUP: https://shorturl.at/chyM2 Need my help?

Have you ever considered how the stress of your immigrant journey has impacted your health?  Have you ever thought about the connection between your physical health and emotional well being?  This episode with Anna Lakomy will reveal some astonishing insights; she shares her battle with Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome ( PCOS) and how it transformed her perspective on health, career, and self-worth.  Anna's journey is more than a story about a health condition. It's a tale of determination and self-discovery, of the transformative power of adversity. We talk about her fight against her physical symptoms and the traditional medical system, and how this struggle led her to an unexpected revelation about her career success and personal worth.  The conversation takes a deeper turn as we explore the struggle to balance masculine and feminine energy. We talk about societal pressures, inherited survival instincts and the power of self-compassion. We share insights on healing the inner child and fostering self-love.  Consider asking yourself these questions: What relationship do I have with myself? Am I being a good friend to myself or do I keep on criticizing myself? If so why? Am I feeling safe? What is creating a sense of safety for me? Am I safe within me right now? What do I need right now?

In this podcast episode, I interview Joanna Zajusz, a clinical hypnotherapist and certified coach who helps people with mindset, emotions, spirituality, and nutrition. We discuss the mindset around overeating and weight loss, challenging beliefs about food, and finding a balance between restriction and indulgence. We also touch on the cultural aspects of food and the challenges faced by immigrants in navigating different food cultures. Joanna emphasizes the importance of using food as medicine and gradually making changes to eating habits. She also discusses the process of overcoming cravings and urges, and how weight loss can become easier over time.

There are things you can do to get through this difficult adjustment. Get some wisdom and learn the tools to manage stress during separation and divorce.  SUMMARY: Get a journal. Here are the questions I suggest you ask yourself when analyzing why you feel the way you feel: What am I thinking about this?;  What am I feeling when I am thinking that?;  What do I do when I feel that feeling?The Line of Life:  On a clean piece of paper draw a horizontal line.On the left side mark at the beginning of the line write your birthday.On the right side at the end of the line write how long you would like to live.Mark today, your wedding day and your divorce date. Color the space between these two dates that will represent your marriage. Answer these questions: How many years have you lived before you became a wife or a  husband?; How many years are left after the divorce is final? ; How do you want to spend the remaining years? What do you want to do? Who do you want to become? What are the feelings you would like to experience on a daily basis? 3.  Examine your thoughts about your spouse. Ask these questions: What do you think of him or her?; How do you feel when you think that?; What do you do when you feel that? How do I want to feel when I see him? ( Keep in mind if you feel anger, you are the one suffering, not him.)  If feeling angry examine: Why are you angry? What did he or she do? What do you think he or she should’ve done instead? What wasn't fair? How did he or she disappoint you? What did you make it mean about yourself? How are you angry at yourself? How are you disappointed in yourself? 4. When ready make a list of all the moments you are grateful for that have happened during your marriage. 5. Write down a list of all of the positive character traits you have developed as a result of the difficulties you faced in your marriage. 6. Answer these questions about divorce itself: What am I making it mean about me?; What am I making it mean about us as a married couple that is about to be divorced?; What am I making it mean about my life overall?; What am I the most afraid of?; What will I do if that happens? 7. Answer these questions about other people: What are you assuming that other people are thinking about you as you are going through a divorce?; How are they judging you?; What do you think? 8. Possible thoughts to think when creating acceptance and compassion towards your spouse: It didn’t work out but he was trying his best. I can be grateful for that.  It’s hard for him too, I don’t have to make it harder by being mean.  We had a lot of great times, I can always be grateful for that. 9. Possible thoughts to think about yourself to create a sense of self acceptance and self compassion as you are going through this: This is hard but I am trying my best. Sometimes I will have a good day and sometimes I won’t, that’s okay.

Do you ever say to yourself: “Gosh I’m such a loser!”, “Why did I do that? I’m so stupid.”,  “I don’t deserve to be happy.” ?  Are you having a hard time saying “no” and standing up to others? Setting boundaries? Do you ever compare yourself to others? Do you struggle building healthy relationships? If you said yes to these questions, you might be suffering from low self value. Low self-value affects our relationships, sense of self-worth, how we navigate life, and how we express ourselves.  There are many reasons why this could be happening: unresolved trauma,loneliness,internalized shame,expectations from parents or caregivers,relationship changes like divorce or break up,peer pressure from loved ones or friends. Think you might be suffering from low self-value?

When you think about yourself and your life, do you feel empowered or sad? Do you feel like you can face whatever it is life throws at you, or are you fearful of what could go wrong?  Life is 50/50. Half of it is great and half is terrible. If your brain automatically focuses on the negative, it’s possible you have a story from your past that is influencing this.  In this episode I would like to invite you explore it with me.  I walk you through a process of self examination. If you decide to embark on this journey, make sure to make a deal with yourself to stop exploring when your mind needs a break.  Walk away from it for a while, but come back when you are ready. Keep on answering the questions I share with you in this episode: VICTIM: When was I in deep emotional pain in my life? What hit me hard? Who did it? Why? Whom am I blaming for this? Where am I refusing to take responsibility? Am I trying to make others feel guilty and responsible for my problems?   Am I playing a martyr here? Have I been putting myself in harm’s way to make myself vulnerable so that others elicit sympathy and support me? What is missing in my life? How much time do I spend thinking about it? Where am I looking for sympathy? How am I dodging responsibility?   Am I holding grudges? Victims connect with victimized, who in my life is also in a victim mentality? Is my story really true? Am I exaggerating it? Am I really fighting demons or am I paying consequences of my actions? Next you will want to Look for the meaning.  What was that for? Why did it happen like this? What do I need right now? What would I need to hear to heal and move on? VICTOR: Who is it? How is this part of you strong?  How did you work through this problem?  What skills did you have to develop to improve your position?  What skills can you keep on developing? What did he or she learn?  To join our Facebook Group "Pogaduchy na Emigracji" click here: https://www.facebook.com/groups/1106767306991881/ SIGN UP FOR FREE COURSE ON HOW TO FEEL GOOD HANGING OUT WITH AMERICANS WHEN YOU ARE THE ONLY IMMIGRANT IN THE GROUP: https://shorturl.at/chyM2 Need my help?

What to do when your heart is breaking into a million pieces because once again you are leaving your country of origin and you don’t know when you will be coming back? During my last trip to Poland I had a chance to experience this familiar heartbreak once again, but this time I put my coaching tools to good use. In this episode I teach you how to rise above that difficult feeling, analyze it and manage it with the higher part of your brain. So instead of suppressing the unexplained moments of sudden sadness, tears, tight throat and/ or anxiety etc, you recognize it and redirect your brain towards gratitude.    To join our Facebook Group "Pogaduchy na Emigracji" click here: https://www.facebook.com/groups/1106767306991881/ SIGN UP FOR FREE COURSE ON HOW TO FEEL GOOD HANGING OUT WITH AMERICANS WHEN YOU ARE THE ONLY IMMIGRANT IN THE GROUP: https://shorturl.at/chyM2 Need my help?

Friend, do you ever feel like you wish your life was different? “Oh if I had it easier everything would have been better?”  I want to invite you to listen to the story of my guest, Nary Som Setzer.  Her family fled Cambodia during the Khmer Rouge. They traveled for 6 months by foot to Thailand. Hiding out in rain forest because the gorillas in the mountains and the Khmer Rouge soldiers were lining the land bordering between the two countries for escapes.  Nary’s story is very interesting but it also will help to put your life into perspective. We are lucky you and me, and sometimes we need to be reminded of that.  If you would like to contact Nary you can send her an email at: [email protected]  If you are an immigrant with a great story and you would like to share it along with the wisdom you have acquired through it, please reach out to me.
