The people that supported, loved, and believed in you when no one else did are gone. The people that when everybody else put you down and made you feel less than, uplift you and are your biggest cheerleaders when it comes to the things that you do are no longer here physically. How do you move forward when your biggest protectors, and supporters are gone? The people that saved you from all the negative people that were destroying your life are no longer here physically. when it comes to healing and recovery when it comes to grief and death, it’s a little bit different than the other healing and recovery that I have discussed.

• Episode 60 - What is the Mask That You Hide Behind? 06.05.2026 35min

  In this episode, I’ll talk about what is the mass that you were hiding behind that you won’t remove. And this particular mass is what you were hiding the real version of you behind from the world. The part of you that most people will never accept, or appreciate because to them it’s like the Phantom of the opera, when they saw the real version of what he truly looked like. And the one thing that people have a huge problem with is when it comes to the real version of themselves. They would rather hide behind a mask and illusion that doesn’t exist, versus accepting the true version of themselves. A lot of people are living fantasy worlds that don’t exist. Trying to be somebody that you truly are not, and never were. And what happens when finally that faith shatters? What happens when that mask breaks apart and shows the true version of you? Is that something that you can handle? Whoever listens to this podcast, ask yourself are you living the true version of yourself, are you living in illusion, fantasy, or a lie when it comes to the true version of you?Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/with-self-respect-comes-self-love--5161847/support.
• Episode 59 - With Self Respect Comes Self Love When Comes To Healing and Recovery Process. 30.04.2026 50min

  In this episode, I’m going to be talking about self-esteem, self-worth, self values, self back, self-confident, and you believe in yourself even when no one else does when it comes to healing and recover recovery. I don’t think people understand the importance of the self-esteem, self-worth, self value, self love, self respect, self-confidence, and you believing in yourself when it comes to the healing and recovery process. The healing and recovery process can’t even really work unless you build self-esteem and self-worth. You will have to learn to love yourself despite anyone else loving you. You believe in yourself even when someone else does not. Learning that it’s OK if somebody doesn’t wanna be in a relationship with you romantically or platonically. It’s OK if you’re not chosen or accepted when it comes to being a certain groups. And that is the part of healing recovery that is the hardest. Because without your self-esteem, self-worth, and you loving yourself, then you’re gonna let people treat you any kind of way. They’re gonna be able to do whatever they want to to you because you’re allowing yourself to build these other people up. You’re giving up everything in order to make someone else happy. So I’ve decided today. I’m gonna talk about the importance of healing your self-esteem, self-worth, self-respect, and you loving yourself to become the new version of yourself. And it is one of the first steps that I do when it comes to helping people when it comes to healing your recovery to become the new version of you.

• Episode 58 - How Your Self-Esteem Determines What You Will Put Up With From People. 09.04.2026 30min

  In this episode, how self-esteem determines what you will allow people to do, and treat you. How you lowering yourself in order to build up other people that will never do this in return. The people that really don’t want anything to do with you really don’t like you, they really don’t want a relationship with you, and will settle for you because of what you can do for them financially, sexually, and what you’re willing to give them. And they don’t have to do nothing but the bare minimal. These are people that don’t take you out, they will never reciprocate what you give them, and they treat you like fresh. What made me talk about? The topic was a conversation where I saw whether men would want a woman doesn’t eat attractive, but an idiot, or whether he would want someone that is the full package but unattractive. And the person responded that they would want an attractive idiot instead of the woman that got herself together, but she is considered unattractive. People don’t understand how self-esteem play a very big part of your human recovery and moving forward. Yourself the theme plays a very big part when it comes to becoming a new version of you based on how you feel about yourself, what you will allow people due to you, what you will put up with, and what you will allow people to take from you without giving nothing return. I really hope this episode gives you inspiration.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/with-self-respect-comes-self-love--5161847/support.
• Episode 57 - With Self Respect Comes Self Love When It Comes To How You Feel About Yourself. 24.03.2026 30min

  In this episode, I talk about how your self-esteem, self-worth, self value, self-confidence, self-respect, and you believe in yourself when no one else does. How do you go about doing that. In the world today it is really hard to love yourself, believing yourself, being confident in yourself, respecting yourself, loving yourself, caring for yourself, taking care of yourself, and etc. when you have so many people trying to tear you down every single day. there are many people that lower themselves in order to build other people up like build bears and dolls. People that lower themselves just to make everybody else happy and put themselves in my ass. There are a lot of people that do a lot of things to prove that the people that will never reciprocate that in return. A lot of people who are chasing out the people that don’t want them, and that will never date or be with them. A lot of people that allow people to treat them any kind of way, and do anything to them. And as for that reason that I created the podcast to help people to base themselves on how they see themselves, versus how other people see them. Them basing themselves on what they think about themselves versus what everybody else thinks about them. It took me a little bit what I was gonna do this podcast. But since losing my father, I had time to really sit down and think about it. And I really want to help people to build their self a thing, self-worth, self value, self-respect, self confident, and then believing in themselves even when no one else does. I think that’s the part of killing a recovery that we’re missing. So I hope this episode gives you a glimpse of where I’m going when it comes to hearing and recovery to become the new and better versions of yourself.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/with-self-respect-comes-self-love--5161847/support.

  In this episode, I discussed the importance of self-esteem, self-worth, self value, self-respect, self-confidence, and you believe in yourself when no one else does when it comes to healing and recovery. A lot of people don’t understand the importance of healing your recovery when it comes to self-esteem and self-worth. You respecting yourself as far as having non-negotiable, and what you stand for. You believing in yourself despite what other people say. Also, the confidence that you find within yourself even though everybody tells you don’t fit society standards. People don’t realize that the healing and recovery besides spiritually, mentally, psychologically, emotionally, health and wellness internally and externally, financially, and family relationships are all based on your self-esteem, self-worth, self value, self-respect, your confidence, and you believe it in yourself. Because there are a lot of people, especially your family that have made you feel less than what you are based on how they treated you as a kid. And now your self-esteem is so low to the point that you allow everybody else that isn’t your parents or family members or the people that hurt you when you were younger to hurt you now. And I felt like this was an episode that I wanted to talk about because I’m coming to that realization myself in my own healing recovery, which is the reason why I am no longer a part of society standard due to my discovery when it comes to this.

You’re able to find who you are based on what you want and need and not based on what everybody else thinks that you should do and be. How I am dealing with the loss of my father, which is leading me to this new and better version of myself through grief? The one thing that I am learning through the loss of my dad is the things that I would like to do differently. This experience of me getting sick in 2017 to now has led me to this new and better version of me where I’m not sitting around and waiting for people to do things for me, going on trips with me, hanging out with me, or being relationships with me romantically. I’m not sitting around waiting for my family to accept me or what it is that I do. I am just enjoying this new version of me for traveling, building a new business in a brand, doing my podcast, getting ready to start making jewelry, candles, and body butters. Me writing two books about healing and recovery, motivational, speaking, and doing these podcast. So I hope this journey of mine as far as healing and recovery not just some grief, but also through my self-esteem, self-worth, self value, self respect, self confidence, and believing in myself, is leading me to this version of myself that I’m really loving. I’m enjoying this journey of being alone and walking in this path, purpose, and journey to this new and better version of myself that I’m happy with. And it’s important that I’m happy with this new version of me. The people that will accept the new version of you will accept it, and the people that don’t they won’t.

• Episode 47- The No Parent and Child Contact Panel Discussion_ 15.12.2025 1t 36min

  In this episode, I’m going to be discussing the Oprah Winfrey conversation that she did on her podcast about no parent contact, and no child contact. This is something that has been happening quite often when it comes to kids that don’t want anything to do with their parents, parents that don’t wanna have anything to do with their children. And as someone that is a healing, recovery, and addiction coach, this is a conversation that is something that I specialize with when it comes to helping people with their family trauma issues. Helping people through what they went through in their childhood in order to move forward as far as healing and recovery. A lot of people have been debating about this conversation on TikTok and multiple other streaming platforms. But for the most part, a lot of people were not thrilled about the conversation. So I decided to do a panel where we discussed this particular conversation as far as people who don’t have contact with their family, and parents that don’t have contact with their children. It’s about hearing people stories versus being a right or wrong situation. And how do we go about healing from our family trauma and experiences on both ends? #nochildcontactBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/with-self-respect-comes-self-love--5161847/support.
