Stand in our own power!
Sometimes people send bad energy, this is something we have to pay attention to and catch quickly. We have to move away from people that send us bad energy, because this can disrupt who we are. Surround yourself with “yeah and” people not “yeah but” people. Know what your own capabilities are, and don’t let anyone else tell you otherwise.
Join us in this week's episode, as we discuss standing in the power of knowing and showing who we are.

Self-Allyship, Decluttering Negativity From Your Life.
How many of us hoard things in our homes with the thought of “I’ll use it one day” or “but I’ve had it for so long” and then when we need something we can't find it because of the mess that is produced by the clutter? Sometimes it’s time to let go of things that are no longer beneficial to us, so that we don't have clutter blocking us from essentials that we need. Just like we need to declutter our lives and only keep the essentials that benefit our growth as people.
Join us in this week’s episode as we discuss allyship, being your best ally, as well as decluttering the negativity out of our lives.

Selfcare, Enhancing Your Well-being
When we talk about self-care, this refers to mental, physical, emotional and spiritual. In today’s fast paced environment, we tend to neglect our self-care. For example, as long work hours tend to absorb most of our day, we often neglect our physical health. This means not exercising our bodies, and not providing the nutrition it needs from a balanced diet to be in peak form. It is vital to our health and sanity, to take time out of our busy schedule to practice self-care.
Join us on this week’s episode as we discuss self-care from a physical, emotional,mental and spiritual standpoint, why it is important and what are some ways we can practice self-care.

Learning How to Be Your Own Best Friend and Ally
One reason that we tend to not put ourselves first, is because we have been taught from an early age that we should always put others first. This is an idea that has been passed down from generation to generation, growing up we have been told that putting ourselves before others is selfish. This is far from the truth. Just like we are instructed in a plane accident to put the mask on ourselves before we put the mask on others, we need to help ourselves first before we can help those around us.
Join us on this week’s episodes to hear the other two reasons of why we tend to not take care of ourselves, and why it is important becoming your best friend and ally, and what are some of the ways that you can do just that.

Messages, The Actions that Shape Us
Whether we notice it or not, the messages we receive heavily impact not only who we become as people, but how we view ourselves. With that said, the messages we give people around us impact them as well. Therefore, we should always plant seeds of positivity. Studies show that positive affirmations such as repeating "I am strong, I am confident" over time helps to transform your persepctions and your brain.
Join us on this week’s episode as we discuss the importance of messages received and messages given. How they affect out mental and emotional state, and what we can do to make a positive difference in the world.

Gratitude, The Quality of Being Thankful
Gratitude, thankfulness, or gratefulness, from the Latin word gratus "pleasing, thankful", is a feeling of appreciation felt by and/or similar positive response shown by the recipient of kindness. However, being grateful is more than just saying thanks once someone does a good deed for you. Being grateful is a state of mind in which you view life with positivity.
Join us as we discuss in this episode gratitude and how this mentality changes not your situation, but your outlook in life and the situations you are going through.

New Episode is Out Now!!
Do you remember listening to a certain piece of advice that your grandparents or even parents gave you in your teenage years and thinking “what do they know, they don't know anything”. Now fast forward to today or at an age where you began to gather wisdom yourself and think about the same advice they gave you. I bet you they were right, I bet you that their advice could’ve saved you years of troubles and hardships. This is the importance of the wisdom of our ancestors, however it is up to us to want to receive that wisdom and not hear it, but listen and understand it.
In this episode, we will discuss the wisdom of our ancestors and the beauty of family. We will also discuss the four things that our ancestors provide for us when they are living in their purpose.

New Episode!!
Privilege has been a controversial topic of discussion. People tend to get defensive when they are accused of enjoying privileges others cant. However, privilege can be used as a tool that can help those less fortunate than us. To do so, you must first acknowledge that you have a privilege based on your race, religion, gender, economic class etc. Then you must think of how you can use your privilege to help others around you.
Join us on this week's episode as we discuss privilege, how to accept it and what you can do to turn it into a tool for equality. https://www.thedelicioustruth.com/privilege-leveraging-your-advantages-for-the-highest-good

Season 3 - Episode 1: I AM__. The gift of acknowledgment.
How often do you find yourself thinking for too long when having to describe who you are? Or how many times do you find yourself giving job titles such as lawyer, photographer, etc when asked who you are? What if I told you that without knowing WHO YOU ARE, and relying on WHAT YOU DO puts you in a place where you while identify could be taken with a pink slip?
Join us on this episode as we discuss not only the importance of being able to distinguish between who we are and what we do, but the empowerment associated with knowing who you are as a person.
