Episode 51 - How to Stay Motivated When You’re Not Motivated
Welcome back, Honest Tribe! Today we're tackling how to stay motivated. Let's keep it real, we're human so we all go through waves of feeling so unmotivated.

Episode 48 - Leave Your Ego at The Door: the need to always be right
Honest Tribe, welcome back! In episode 48 we're digging into all things "ego". From a very young age, we’re conditioned to see the effects of being right vs. wrong. I.e our educational system-- it's very black and white. As we know, life really isn't like that majority of the time. When it comes to your ego and the need to always be right, ask yourself this one question: would you rather be right or would you rather be happy? Remember, your ego is a direct reflection on how you feel about yourself.

Episode 46 - How to give Criticism
Happy Wednesday y'all! We are back with episode 46 & if you listened last week where we focused on how to receive criticism, then you'll know that this week we're digging into HOW to give criticism. First and foremost, if you can't give criticism without adding value, then you probably have no business doing so in the first place. Harr & discuss 4 major points in this episode in terms of how to give criticism: focus on the specific situation at hand, not the person, be solution-oriented, build the bridge, don’t burn it, & lastly focus on the timing and environment.

Episode 43 - Give yourself the space to go at your pace
Happy Wednesday, Honest Tribe! Today's all about the importance of leaning into your difficult situation and giving yourself the space to grieve, learn & grow. We live in a society where we are always looking for the quick fix. Something that might make us feel good temporarily, but it's not going to benefit you long term. Always remember that the bigger the situation/traumatic experience, the more space and time you have to allow yourself to go through it. Grow through what you go through.

There are a couple of important things about being able to forgive someone. Two of the most important things is that it's for your own growth and happiness. It's so toxic to hold onto that anger, resentment, the hurt... all the bad shit! It's not serving you, I promise it's not worth it.
