  Welcome to Beyond Comfort Zone Season 3 Episode 29!Is it possible to ground yourself in the now, even when the past and future try to hijack your thoughts?In this episode, "The Present is the Present," we talk about the art of anchoring yourself in real-time.

  Welcome to Beyond Comfort Zone podcast Sn3 Ep Note:- This episode discusses general conflict resolution in relationship and workplaces. The final segment contains a sensitive discussion on Domestic Violence and GBVIn this episode, we dive deep into conflict resolution. This is a vast topic with layers of complexity that deserve to be carefully dissected. You may notice me mentioning various factors throughout this episode to encourage you to do your own research, reflect, and even seek external assistance or guidance if needed.This topic is quite sensitive, and at times, it can trigger unhealed versions of ourselves.However, it also allows us to face the ways we’ve previously handled conflict, giving us the space to step back and see how things could be managed better next time. It invites us to have compassion for ourselves—and, in turn, for others—calling on empathy and understanding while respecting differing opinions, because every perspective is valid.Ultimately, this conversation is about embracing free will and kindness while respecting where everyone is at in their present moment, recognizing that we are all imperfectly perfect.If you enjoyed this episode, keep an eye out for the next part as we continue this journey of learning, relearning, and unlearning the elephant in the room: Conflict Resolution.Connect With Us* Subscribe & Review: Turn on your notification bell, follow, like, comment, and connect with us across all platforms!* Email: [email protected] | cc: [email protected]* Instagram: @beyondcomfortzoneSupport Our Spaces:* Comfort Zone: For all your cozy, stylish fits designed for any weather.* Brass Code: For all your brass ring needs to elevate your everyday style.Cheers, and see you on the next one!

  Earth Day 2026: World Record Store day, Rewards, and Reflections 12.05.2026 14m

  Welcome to Season 3, Episode 20 of Beyond Comfort Zone. In this episode, I share a powerful Earth Day experience that coincided with my birthday month—a profound shift toward grounding. This year, Earth Day wasn’t just a date; it was a continuation of my journey, building on last year’s episode, ‘Earth Day is Every Day,’ where I talked about decluttering the seen and unseen. I also revisit Record Store Day, a celebration I shared last year, and this time, it aligned with Earth Day. From the tactile grooves of vinyl to the industrial soul of scrap metal art, I dive deep into how we preserve both culture and ourselves. I recount Record Store Day 2026, where the music of Mali and Njogu Kuria’s bold metal artistry reshaped my view on sustainability. In this episode, I discuss: The Roots (Les Racines): How Vieux Farka Touré’s album became the perfect backdrop for my self-care and gardening. Art from the Earth: Meeting Njogu Kuria, who transforms scrap metal into giants, and the gift he gave me—a reflection on the bull, the girl, and their energy. The Brass Ring Connection: Why my business, Brass Ring, is more relevant than ever as I unite fashion, metalwork, and expressive art. And Sustainable Soul: Moving beyond last year’s decluttering into a season of intentional planting—both in the soil and in my creative life. Join me as I honor these moments of growth, gratitude, and creative courage.

  Just Be: Celebrating World Autism Month! Sn 3 Ep 18 10.04.2026 8m

  Welcome to Episode 18 of Season3 Beyond comfort zone podcast! I didn’t even know it was World Autism Month… and somehow, I found myself learning in real time.In this episode, inspired by Love on the Spectrum on Netflix, I explore what autism means—both from a simple definition and a more personal, out-of-the-box perspective.Autism means the brain works differently in how a person thinks, feels, communicates, and experiences the world. A person who is autistic is someone whose brain processes the world in this unique way. It is a spectrum, meaning everyone experiences it differently.To me, it also feels like a different way of being—marked by sensitivity, depth, attention to detail, and authenticity.This is not a clinical explanation. It’s a reflection.Maybe the goal isn’t to label everything… maybe it’s to just be.Dictionary Meaning of AutismAutism Spectrum 'Disorder' is:A neurodevelopmental condition that affects how a person communicates, interacts socially, and experiences the world, often including differences in behavior, interests, and sensory processing.What “Spectrum” MeansA range of different experiences, abilities, and traits.👉 Meaning:No two autistic people are the sameIt can look very different from one person to anotherWe hope you enjoyed, feel free to reach out , Follow,collaborate and drop a comment below!Cheers and see you on the next one!

  Recovering a sense of Integrity Sn3 Ep 17 30.03.2026 14m

  Welcome to Beyond Comfort Zone Sn 3 Ep 17 and thank you for being.In this episode, I take you through a weekend that became a turning point. Inspired by Bridgerton, energy awareness, and choosing family over distraction, I explore what it means to recover integrity in a society that often steals it. This is a call to remember who we are, even when we’ve been forgotten.Words mentioned in the episode;- Integrity;- is living in alignment with your core values and staying true to yourself Aura Farming?- is really about how your natural emotional or personal energy is perceived and used. It’s not inherently good or bad—your aura just is. But when that attention or presence is exploited—like for engagement or profit—that’s when it crosses into aura farming as a more negative dynamici emphasize that aura is simply a natural field around us—it doesn’t have to be farmed. Integrity, energy, and self-awareness are the keys to staying true to who we are.Energy symphoning ;-. It's when people are unknowingly drained or pulled into someone else’s emotional or mental state—almost like a siphoning of focus or energy. It’s not about just sharing, but more like an imbalance where one person’s attention is pulled away from them by another’s emotional gravity.I hope you enjoyed this episode, make sure to follow, drop a comment and participate in our polls.

  Book Review;- The Artist way - Week 3 By Julia Cameron Sn 3 Ep16 19.03.2026 9m

  Welcome to Beyond Comfort Zone Podcast Sn 3 Ep 16.In this episode, I review Week 3 of 'The Artist’s Way,' focusing on recovering a sense of power. I reflect on how emotions like shame and anger, when consciously accepted, become transformative tools. Shame, when simply acknowledged, reveals the core belief that holds us back; anger, when recognized without suppression, is a fire,we pause, ask, and let it guide us to set boundaries and take action. Building on my previous episode on reclaiming power, I show how, by noticing these emotions, we turn them into creative momentum. This episode is a call to stay with these feelings,no quick fixes, just the courage to recognize them and act. Thank you for listening,stay tuned as I continue this journey through the book. Follow, share with a friend, and leave your thoughts in our feedback doc, your reflections mean so much. See you in the next episode.

  The Ritual Of Stillness Sn3 Episode 14 06.03.2026 23m

  In this episode, I revisit the journey of rest and burnout, but this time, I’m bringing new reflections. As I stood in the rain today, I realized how deeply we reconnect with rest by turning to nature—like birdwatching or simply admiring flowers in bloom. I also realized that the breaks we take don’t always have to be digital. In fact, I invite you to revisit your creative spark—look back at old journals, those dreams you once held as a child, and the passions you used to express. I also acknowledge that this isn’t the first time I’ve talked about burnout—I’ve attached a previous episode where I first shared my own journey. https://open.spotify.com/episode/1fD3pdycfTq0Cj7twZrnWg?- Hustle Culture - But I want to stress that this is not a one-time fix; it’s a ritual. We have to practice these pauses, over and over, so we can stay grounded in our care.

  In this episode of Beyond Comfort Zone (Season 3, Episode 11), we talk about the light within — and what happens when people try to dim it.Sometimes the dimming comes from others.Sometimes it comes from systems.And often, it comes from ourselves through people-pleasing.Most of the challenges I experienced in 2025 were not accidental. They were deeply connected to who I am. The resistance came from many directions, but instead of shrinking, I chose to keep moving, keep becoming, and keep being myself.This episode explores:Why people feel threatened by your lightHow people-pleasing dims your authentic selfThe strength that comes from choosing yourselfBreaking barriers around identity, truth, and self-expressionIf you’ve ever felt like you needed to be smaller to be accepted, this episode is for you.You are the light.
