#23- Champ Up. Lessons learned in life by way of knockout with Chris Romulo
Chris Romulo was born in Queens, not exactly the easiest of areas to grow up. He found his way into Muay Thai kickboxing simply because he got into a street fight, and ended up with a shattered eye socket, a broken nose and a bruised spirit. He didn't want to be afraid anymore. Romulo began his amateur career 1996 at age 21 . In 2003, Romulo began training under Jason Strout. That same year, they worked together to develop Church Street Boxing Gym's first Muay Thai program. Romulo's amateur career included five titles.As a professional fighter...

Welcome to Episode 50 of Champ Up Chat! Being a champion isn't for the chosen few. Being a champion is for the few that choose. In this episode, Sarah and I talked about how self-talk has created your reality and guides your subconscious. Then we turn self-talk into actions, whether it is anabolic or catabolic. We all hold ourselves back because of our fear, anxiety and undesirable thoughts of; "what might go wrong?", you want you to rephrase your thoughts into; "what might be the best thing that could happen?"

We're back! Today's episode was a bit choppy in the beginning for about 40 sec but all smooth sailing after that as we chat about vision boarding. It is a technique we used to build the life that we wanted for almost a decade. But after a few days of dealing with some health issues it gave me some time to open my eyes to "vision work". This vital technique can improve all your QoL arenas; family, health, career, etc. Hold the vision. Trust the process. Champ Up

Today we talk about the perfection of life when you can wake-up, put your feet on the ground and make one more attempt at experiencing life to its utmost. The perfection is in the journey not the destination of where you want to be. Barring unnatural circumstances, the journey of life is perfect because there is nothing to compare it to. It's your journey and you don't get another chance to fix your "mistakes". Live and strive to be the best expression of who you are. The misconception of perfection is that it is some far off distant place or state of being that you want to strive for. We’ve all heard the saying that there is no such thing as perfection. In reality perfection is already where you are. Perfection is in the journey. Champ Up Sarah & Chris

"If you don't stand for something you will fall for anything."- Malcom X This week, Sarah and I discuss the importance of having core values. This concept seems pretty well-known in the workplace but having personal core values are just as important. I was having a conversation with a coach friend of mine who helped me become aware that I have not established a set of personal core values.

Ep 40- Love and Pain
Experiencing love, or having love for someone or something, leads us to believe that the experience will be perpetually, as Rocky put it, "all sunshine and rainbows". When we don't acknowledge the duality of love, we tend to be crushed when plans don't work out, when people exit our lives and when dreams get put on hold. "Pain in life is inevitable but suffering is not. Pain is what the world does to you, suffering is what you do to yourself [by the way you think about the 'pain' you receive]. Pain is certain, suffering is optional."...
