The cave you fear to enter holds the treasure that you seek. ——  Do the work, and the reward will come, I assure you. This episode is a real heart-opener. Not only is love universal, but it is also all encompassing. Yet love is jaded from an early start and it's our duty as souls to do the shadow work to come back to our full, true essence of unconditional love. Spoil alert! It only comes from within first.  Juan Lee is a transformational speaker, author, and teacher on the powerful principle of love. For over 30 years, he has studied to find the elements that unite humanity and share the message with those who need it. Based outside of Washington DC, Juan is the author of Love Made Simple and the founder of Clear Journey.

"IF YOU COULD STAND BACK FAR ENOUGH AND WATCH THE WHOLE PROCESS YOU WOULD SEE YOU ARE A TOTALLY DETERMINED BEING. THE VERY MOMENT YOU WILL WAKE UP IS TOTALLY DETERMINED. HOW LONG YOU WILL SLEEP IS TOTALLY DETERMINED. WHAT YOU WILL HEAR OF WHAT I SAY IS TOTALLY DETERMINED. THERE ARE NO ACCIDENTS IN THIS BUSINESS AT ALL. ACCIDENTS ARE JUST FROM WHERE YOU'RE LOOKING. TO THE EGO, IT LOOKS LIKE IT'S MIRACLES AND ACCIDENTS. NO MIRACLES. NO ACCIDENTS. IT'S JUST YOUR VANTAGE POINT THAT YOU'RE SORT OF STUCK IN" - Ram Dass, Be Here Now In this episode, Martin and I converse and connect on the beauty within spiritual awakenings and healing. How our experiences are here to help us, guide us, and lead the way. He is a master facilitator in guiding others to tap into the depths of their subconscious, and being a conduit for higher frequencies to assist the souls on earth. He started his coaching practice, Light Trails Co., after a decade of exploring non-ordinary and ordinary reality. The tools and teachings he uses are a combination of disciplines he learned from his teachers yet the strongest foundation lies within the Medicine Wheel and the art of shamanic journeying. We discuss the theology behind mistakes, the influence of ascended teachers such as Ram Dass, and the importance of connecting with your totem animal.

A recent article on MarketWatch revealed there's a 50/50 split between older adults who soar in tech and those who struggle. The one's who struggle are more likely to have higher rates of depression, loneliness, and isolation because they can't zoom with friends and fam, or join a free fitness class. In a modern world infiltrated with tech, it's sad to really read the facts. UnidosWeb3 is passionate about onboarding as many Latinos as possible in Web3, and that means older generations too. My parents are curious yet resistant and that's common. This episode was made with them in mind, to guide, inform, and express where to start and what the foundational terms even mean.  Connect with us on Twitter & let us know what your experience with older gens is like @_lfausto, @soyrizopapi, @hello_mercedes, @UnidosWeb3 To work with me directly, head over to hellomercedes.co Contributions to support this podcast aren’t required, but very much appreciated.

As an ambitious entrepreneur, I have been all gas and no breaks for the last two months. Building a startup as a solo founder with multiple projects on the side has finally made me crash.  In this episode, I tap into my hiatus, my health, and why self-care is a tricky balance.
