“I owe it to my 11 year old self to give it my best shot” - Skyler’s Journey
Monday Oct 09, 2023
Monday Oct 09, 2023
Skyler's journey began in Portland, Oregon, where he experienced a troubled past filled with crime and substance abuse. From a young age, he felt a sense of abandonment, as his mother was unable to raise him and his father couldn't provide everything he needed. Seeking solace and a sense of belonging, he turned to drugs and found a fleeting sense of power on the streets. However, after his final stint in prison, Skyler realized he was destined for more.
Determined to give his younger self the life he had always yearned for, Skyler turned his life around and found solace in music. It became his outlet for healing and recovery. Today, he is embarking on a tour, sharing his inspiring story of transformation and making a positive impact in the world. Throughout it all, he is accompanied by his supportive partner, Kala Mulcahy. We invite you to join us and be inspired by Skyler's incredible journey of resilience and redemption.

We discuss the importance of taking responsibility for our own well-being and making conscious choices to connect with others. We learn that we can be with ourselves and not feel like we are by ourselves. It's a shift in perspective we have to find to truly not be co-dependent in our recovery journey.

The ”What About Me” Mentality
Tuesday Aug 22, 2023
Tuesday Aug 22, 2023
On this episode, Justin, Nathan and Cesar discuss the what about me mentality and how it affects everyday life.
We can get into those seasons where we start to compare where we might not be to other people's lives and comparison is the sucker of all gratitude. It creates unwarranted resentments which is like poison for the soul and our spiritual growth. We talk about getting into that victim mentality and we shed light on the underlying thought patterns and behaviors that can keep us stuck in a cycle of self pity and powerlessness. We need to seek to uncover the detrimental effects of this mindset on our overall well-being and relationships. Join us as we jump into this topic.
