Healing Vacation Healing Retreat - Why?#IYP
So time after time, year after year, they keep breaking my balls with the wtf is a healing vacation question. It's something I coined about 4 years back when we decided to skip out on Christmas and instead the gift we gave ourselves was a vacation away from it all. The stress, the holiday rush, the pissyness, the money spending for no reason, the over eating, the over drinking, the over indulgence, the selfishness of people wanting your time with them instead of other relatives. Basically we felt like the meaning of Christmas meter was a little broken in todays world.
We took a leap of faith and went away from it all for the holiday's and we treated ourselves to health (now at the time we did not do that on purpose) the universe sort of met us half way. We had a small budget to spend on ourselves and along the way we meet people who did certain things like message, or ran a day spa, or held stretching/yoga classes on the beach, or did sound bath healing, I mean it was endless and we started trying some of the things here and there.
One thing we also (not by choice but due to circumstance) was we were in bed super early like by 730-830 every night and up at the crack of ass every morning to work out by 6 am with this amazing coach we ended up meeting and then training with daily. That cycle was new to us and I mean that was a life changer as well.
The food, well we had always been disciplined but we then took it to the next level and decided to treat ourselves with only the best, most nutritious, healthiest possible choices we could find (again the universe met us half way by providing us with impromptu meeting on the beach with restaurant owners who just happen to be either vegan, whole food plant based, organic farm, organic meat)
So that was our first toe dip into the world of healing vacations. Now at the time we were running away from Christmas, but if you believe that everything happens for a reason then you like me would understand and believe that we were actually running towards self appreciation, and self healing. Again that was 4, 5 years ago now, and what started off as a one off run away from family has lead to a twice a year month long healing getaway!
I honestly hope each and every one of you gives it a try, if you need any tips let me know!

Then There Was One The Elephant in The Room #IYP
So it is time to admit the obvious, it's been since December 1, 2018, that Ignite Your Purpose has been down one member. For those of you have been keeping up with the daily show, and have been asking about it, well here it is. I took some time to address it on the show today, the reasons as to how it started and then how we ended up with just your's truly moving forward with the show.
It did start honestly enough, I left for a month healing retreat, which added another 4 hour time difference to the 8 that was already a current bump in the road. With the time difference and the other half being involved in some course's, it was a basic one month of almost impossible 'ness' to get together to make the time line work.
I went on to do the daily show and found it very freeing, flowing, easy and enjoyable, fun actually! It did take some time to get use to the extra work load, but ya in all honesty I truly enjoyed the change up and still do to this day. As of now it is official that the #IYP change up is permanent, and what will happen now will be interview based show's added to the mix with some relevant people at the top of their game, and making massive change for the better when it comes to health and alternative health. So this again will be an added bonus to the listeners to get that even more valuable info in this the 2nd season of Ignite Your Purpose!

Algorithm Theory The Good and Bad #IYP
On today's show I show you from my understanding at least the tale of the 2 wolves, which it is said that each one of us have within us. The good side and the bad side, this tale is as old as stories are themselves and for the first time this tale hit me hard as the Matrix of it was staring deep into my soul.
So I was apart of my first blessing by the elders on the Island of Maui in Hawaii and the words, the vibe, the people, the day itself blew me away in so many ways that I cannot even describe. The old traditions, the mindset, the value of the mind, body, soul, and respect for ourselves, others, and mother nature herself. I kid you not it was so deep, so intense that at one point the words rang so true and hit so hard that my knee kinda buckled (and BTW I was standing still) I had to take a knee and started to cry.
Ok and at this same ceremony I had a chat with a friend of mine who is big into online marketing, crypto, sales and a few other things. He is way advanced when it comes to that type of stuff, and for this show and my music I am always asking and running things by him. So we got into a very deep conversation and he was dropping massive amounts of science and knowledge on me as far as the AI and algorithms, which as well blew me away. To see the not so human side, the side that exploits us all, the bending of the truth and as well the ultimate goal 98% of the time from most corporations of just getting the sales the money.
As I sat there and listened and as well experienced what I did on both ends from the ancient traditions, to this new era that I want to get into ...I felt a sense of confusion and a sense of loss.

Mindset Business Health it's all the same #IYP
So when I first decided to go all in, on this podcast,vlog thing I asked to interview 2 very very cool business owner's here on the island of Maui in Hawaii. They agreed, that was a full year ago, the first interview was with a Hot bad ass mama named Hollie. It has been a full year since that interview and what I have seen change for her in her business and how I have seen her mental change is next next level!
It is something I wish to capture and share in another follow up interview with her, but for the time being to speak on the massive up's the massive down's (I mean massive down's) then the power one feels after overcoming something that you felt could have beaten you. You know what I mean, those times when you just feel like giving up, that what's the point feeling, I have been there and although it may not last long, it's still a terrible spot to be in, necessary but a terrible spot to be.
But guess what - you /we don't let it beat us, hell no, we beat it, and that feel's like nothing none of us have ever felt like before. It is what I personally think each one of deserve's to feel and enjoy, I wish this upon you as well as myself

Knowing Your Purpose - Ignite Your Purpose #IYP
(This is the full unedited version showing you all the real time happenings)Knowing your purpose is a real thing these days as we the people are starting to question the why behind what we do to get through our life? That's right for a living, what we do day in day out for the rest of our life! That's deep right!So if we can think back to when we were just little one's and if we can get into that mindset, then I think a lot of us would realize real quick we are off course...red alert, way way off course!
So the 3 of us got together to chat about what happens when we start with something like we our own health, super simple start. Then from there we can start to change the next parts of our lives, but if we do not have the physical, and mental health or physical or mental energy then to try to live out our dreams is a crap shot at best!

Thank You For Nothing? Ignite Your Purpose #IYPIt's is so true that saying thank you costs absolutely nothing but can make all the difference in the world~ Something that never stop's rocking my world is how people can over look the most simplest of acts. Yes, that is correct acknowledgement on a good well done. How this came to a head is where we are staying currently there are a ton of renovations and work going on, and day in day out I see the guests and local traffic just going through their day and rarely do I see any interactions between those working and passer by's. I have been there so I go out of my way to talk to and thank those whom I come into contact with. The interesting point here is that someone I work with asked my why do I do that? My reply was that is costs me nothing and makes me and them feel phucking awesome...that's why!!

GM Plant Closing, Plant Opening - Ignite Your Purpose #IYPThere has been much talk of the GM plant closing in Canada and the USA, one of those plants is in an area where I grew up and I know a lot of people and family members whom have been affected by this. One of my friends even sent me an independent interview that was done with a bunch of the laid pf workers as they left work for the last time. I have to admit some of the stories were heart breaking. Now from an awareness stand point I watched how I reacted and felt after watching something like that; contracted, fearful, lost, hopeless, powerless are all words that came to mind. However; Check this, the same friend sent me an interview with Elon Musk an innovator, an entrepenure, a trend setter, a trail blazer. He said maybe just maybe we would want to use all those factories. Now now this may or may not happen.However again when I paid attention to how I felt is was amazing, I was open, happy, excited, alive, endless possibilities.It got me to thinking if we are always relying on someone or something else we can fell hopeless or not in control of our own destiny. So if in the end it can all be taken away from us, why would we NOT want to control it ourselves?

Judge Me Not - (Compassion) Ignite Your Purpose #IYP At Ignite Your Purpose we do not come from a place of the that 'Judge me Not' point of view, or 'judgement,' we come from the compassion point of view. What Does that mean?
It mean's we need to call out the elephant in room, not sweep it under the rug and "pretend" that everything is perfect, this is NOT SOCIAL MEDIA where everyone claim's life is phucking perfect. This is real life and health is the most important thing we can take care of. But to pretend or simply turn a blind eye to our own issues is a massive dis service to ourselves. To be better we first need to admit that we need to get better...humility beautiful people...that is the whole reason we started this journey, because we have been in those dark place's and we admitted we were there and made changes daily....and we can all do that~ We just need to admit it first without judgement and move forward to betterment and empowerment

How To Start Something New - Ignite Your Purpose #IYPSo when and how to start something new? Well so so many of us just don't! Let's be very honest here! We can only speak for ourselves but there is a good portion of the time that we "get in our own way" we set up road block after road block, as to the reason's we just can not do it today, but maybe tomorrow or maybe when it's warmer out, or in the New Year, or when I feel better. All just excuses each and everyone of us make up to cover up our fear or or lazyness - it is that simple However when we finally realize that we are not promised tomorrow.....everything start's to change~

Student of Life or Student instead of Life? Ignite Your Purpose #IYPHere at Ignite Your Purpose we know a lot of the Student of Life individuals, but we also know a lot of the Full time Student. Is there a difference? We feel that there is. Our thinking is knowledge is a MUST, 100% no if and's or butts!! To learn is a right and a must and to continue to learn is also a must. However, we know a good amount of individuals whom continue to gather knowledge for the no other reason other than to postpone really living life... they stay in school's for years, take course's, and read book's (which are all good by the way) but and this is the big difference for us. What the PHuck are you doing with that knowledge and a what point do you pull the trigger and start actually start living and not just reading? An example would be you can read a book about China but that does not mean you are Chinese ~
