This is in French with English subtitles. In this episode, Jean and I share our experiences with our first jobs, highlighting the fact that wanting to adopt a new mindset is not always synonymous with "being an easy task."

Aujourd’hui, nous explorons la différence puissante entre une mentalité de croissance et une mentalité fixe – une distinction qui pourrait bien être la clé pour libérer tout votre potentiel. Dans une société aussi rapide que celle des États-Unis, où le succès est souvent associé au talent ou à la capacité innée, beaucoup d’entre nous adoptent peut-être sans le savoir un état d’esprit qui nous retient. Ne pas comprendre la différence entre ces deux mentalités pourrait être ce qui empêche un véritable changement dans votre vie.

As an immigrant, "failure is not an option" at least that's what we say to ourselves. Yet there is nothing worse than blaming yourself for everything happening around you. On this episode, I invite you to hear how I survived the burden of shame and how layoffs, job market, resilience, failures, fighting and not giving up are all part of the journey.

I am sharing with you a poem I wrote inspired by this holiday season when for the most part, the overjoy of the world dismisses the pain that others are enduring during these times.

In this down to earth episode, I invite you to hear about some experiences that have made me understand how to live my life in my new home.

Building wealth is necessary. But what for if we do not have a purpose for it?

We are living in a world where the pursuit of wealth is now made possible through means that were not available few decades ago. Failure to have a purpose beyond becoming rich/wealthy will only result in a short lived experience.

We need to save our planet. However, we were not given a "KNOW HOW" manual on how to save our planet. Hence the reason why, many untold events are unfolding while we are on the quest for the greater good. With over 270 millions migrants in the world according to the UN, we must have a conversation to find out if solving the climate change should not involve a plan for the migration of people around the globe.

None leaves their home unless they must absolutely do so in order to survive. And none would happily let a stranger in their home. This thoughts provoking episode, challenges us to use empathy to navigate through the complex discussions on the topic of illegal immigration in the United States of America.
