Dom’s mission is to serve as a steady lighthouse offering peace, inner standing, and gentle guidance without force. Dom Liddelow, Reiki l Practitioner Who is Dom Liddelow? I’m an energy educator offering Reiki-infused guides, ebooks, and audio meditations designed to support calm, regulation, and inner clarity. As a mother of five, I live inside the quiet intensity of modern life and understand how easily stress can accumulate in the body over time. At home and in business, I value presence, simplicity, and intentional living. I’m often inspired by quiet routines, creative writing, and time spent grounding with my family. Something that feels central to who I am is my lighthouse-like approach to healing—I create spaces where people can soften, exhale, and reconnect with their inner steadiness through safety, self-trust, and stillness.   What led you to Reiki, energy work, and creating your digital offerings? My path into Reiki began as my awareness around mindfulness, meditation, and nervous system regulation deepened. When I was introduced to Reiki as a form of self-healing, it resonated immediately – not as something to learn externally, but as something deeply familiar. What stayed with me wasn’t a single moment, but the way the practice naturally aligned with my intuitive understanding of healing. During a season of personal and professional transition, that clarity shaped my direction. I felt called to create digital offerings that meet people where they are – tools that support healing, regulation, and clarity in a way that feels accessible, grounded, and self-led.   How would you describe what you do and who you help in your own words? I create calm, grounding spaces – primarily through Reiki-infused guided audio – that help people reconnect with themselves. Through Reiki Flow with Dom Low, I offer gentle resources for individuals navigating stress, emotional healing, or life transitions. My work supports people in restoring balance and inner trust so they can move forward with greater clarity and steadiness.   What is the biggest challenge people come to you with before working together? People arrive in different places. Some feel emotionally overloaded or dysregulated, while others are already self-aware and grounded but seeking deeper balance, clarity, or supportive tools for continued growth. What they share is a desire for healing that feels steady and self-led. They are not looking to be fixed, but for compassionate guidance that supports regulation, integration, and forward movement without force.   How does your work help people shift their energy, mindset, or life direction? My work gently reminds people that healing is already available to them. By creating a sense of safety and support through guided audio, individuals can reconnect with their inner steadiness and become more intentional about where they place their attention and energy. As the mindset shifts toward self-trust, energy follows – setting the tone for clearer choices, a more aligned direction, and sustainable change. From this regulated foundation, growth unfolds naturally rather than through effort or pressure. What makes your approach to Reiki and frequency work different from others in the space? I honor Reiki as a universal practice that does not rely on hierarchy or performance. Rather than positioning myself as the source of healing, I create consistent, supportive spaces where people can experience Reiki in a way that feels simple, ethical, and accessible. My role is to hold clarity and safety so individuals can reconnect with their own internal guidance without comparison or expectation.   Can you share a transformation or breakthrough experienced through your work? Among people who engage with my guided audio, a consistent pattern emerges: calmer decision-making, greater self-trust, and a stronger sense of inner steadiness. Listeners often report that after spending time in regulated, supportive spaces, they feel more confident navigating life transitions and making choices aligned with their values – without feeling rushed or overwhelmed.   How do your digital products make healing and energy work more accessible for people? My digital offerings are curated to be gentle, self-guided, and easy to return to. By offering Reiki-infused audio, guides, and ebooks, barriers related to time, location, or readiness are removed. People can engage with healing practices at their own pace, integrating grounding and regulation into daily life without pressure or rigid structure.   What role do intuition and frequency play in creating real, lasting change? Intuition helps people recognize what feels aligned and authentic for them, while frequency reflects where attention and energy are consistently placed. As individuals learn to trust their intuition and make intentional choices around thoughts, habits, and environments, their frequency naturally shifts. Over time, those minor conscious adjustments create meaningful ripple effects – within themselves and outward into their lives. Who is your work best suited for right now, and why? My work is best suited for people who feel a quiet pull toward healing, clarity, and a more regulated way of living. This often includes parents seeking gentler rhythms in family life, individuals navigating emotional transitions, and those drawn to energy work but unsure where to begin. Rather than offering rigid systems, my resources support individuals who value presence, self-trust, and sustainable change – allowing healing to unfold at a pace that feels supportive and safe.   What is one belief or pattern you help clients release most often? One of the most common patterns is the belief that “I must earn healing”. Many people have learned to live in a state of chronic dysregulation, postponing rest or support until after productivity. A core part of my work is helping people reconnect with the truth that healing is a birthright and that regulation is the foundation from which clarity and wellbeing naturally emerge.   If someone feels called to work with you, what is the best first step to get started? The first step is simply to follow the sense of resonance. When something feels aligned beneath the surface, that often signals readiness. Reiki Flow with Dom Low primarily exists as a guided audio space, with rest and reset recordings available on YouTube, offering calm, accessible entry points for those seeking a gentler approach to healing.

Duane Haynes is an author and “fellow” of the inspirational poetry book “To Flourish, God is the Light, We are its Spectrum”. This inspirational poetry book is sold worldwide and is available in English, French, Spanish, eBook, and on an album “ To Flourish ”. He has over 1,119,317 reviews of 5 Stars of Excellent and “Most Popular Book” by Trustpilot. Duane Haynes, Ordained and Anointed Prophet and Poet Who is Duane Haynes? I was born in Denver, Colorado. I was born with a twin brother whose name was Darrell. I have two other brothers and a younger sister. I hold a BA in Technical Writing from Metropolitan State College in Denver, Colorado. Can you tell us about the key message in your book “To flourish, god is the light, we are its spectrum” and how it resonates with readers? I don’t consider my poems and parables a message but a gift from God to help readers find their pathway to realizing their purpose in life and the way home. The inspirational poems and parables in my book help readers find their reason for their life here on earth and the purpose God has for them. What inspired you to start writing at such a young age, and how has your journey shaped your work today? At the age of 12, I had a life-threatening accident that placed me in a coma for about 3 days. When I came to, I realized that I had changed. I remembered being in a place I knew in my heart as Heaven. “God showed me all of Heaven and Love. He then told me what I must do, and gave me a gift and said,” Go back into the world and give them this gift, tell them so that they can find their pathway to the way home.” About two months later, I began writing poems, and what I wrote confounded those close to me. The insight and depth in my writings were beyond their comprehension at such a young age. To some, my poems were prophecies, and to others, insights. For me, it was sharing my gift. I continued to write with a higher perspective and greater love for God. With my poems and parables, I try to get readers to look at themselves and others through the eyes of God, hoping to make a change in their lives. How do you describe your unique approach to writing, and what makes your poetry stand out? My writings are inspired and written in a unique way. I would go to sleep, and late at night I would wake up, write a poem, and go back to sleep. My poems and writings are inspired by God. Each poem was written to be given to someone to answer their prayers and to guide them during their trials and tribulations. God instructs me to put the poem in an envelope, and later he tells me who to give the poem to when that person is put in my path. Each person knew in some way that this was supposed to happen and accepted the poem with anticipation. It’s like they knew. I guess my poetry stands out because it’s supposed to. Your works are often referred to as prophetic; how do you interpret this in relation to your mission? Writing my poems and completing my part by giving them to the person they were intended for, remembering what God told me. “Go back to the world and tell them, so that they can find their pathway to the way home.” Each poem was given to the person I believe God placed in my pathway, and I must stay obedient in God's will. Can you share a pivotal moment from your life that continues to influence your writing and personal philosophy? Every day God shows me new revelations and insights on life, purpose, prophecies, parables, and poems. This is the gifts God has given me to use as a part of the body of Christ. Because I’ve been to Heave and learned the way home, my poems and parables can help others find their pathway to their way home. How do you believe your experience, including your near-death experience, has shaped your spiritual and literary voice? After meeting God and receiving his gift. I realized that it was a greater gift to actually meet and touch God in spirit, see Heaven, experience true love, and then be given the opportunity to come back and help others find their pathway to the way home. That is a gift in itself. What role do you see your writings play in helping others understand the deeper aspects of life and the divine? I believe my writings are inspired by God. These inspirational prophetic poems and parables, when read by others, remind them that God knows what they are going through and gives them revelations and prophecies to help them. God reminds us that he has never forsaken us and shows us in my poetry. Too many times we feel God has forgotten us and lets us handle our problems on our own, forgetting who we are and whose we are. Then we believe that and feel lost with no identity or purpose in our lives, and give up. Reading my inspirational poetry book “To Flourish, God is the Light, We are its Spectrum” helps readers find themselves, their purpose, and reminds them that God is always with them. You’ve spoken at numerous schools and universities; how do you approach inspiring young writers through your lectures? My lectures at schools and university centers around my statement,” What You Write Matters”. I believe that writers are gifted because not everyone can be a writer. I inspire writers to use their gift to write what is positive and true, no matter what. Write to inspire others in hope, peace, and happiness. Writers can take an emotion. Write it on paper, and the reader can get that same emotion out of it. That is the gift writers have. I tell writers to use their gift to help others see and experience life in a positive way. Can you explain the impact your poetry and plays have on your audience and how it encourages personal growth? My inspirational prophetic poems and parables in my poetry book “To Flourish, God is the Light, We are it’s Spectrum”, has impacted audiences and readers around the world. I have over 1,119,317 reviews of the “Excellent and Most Popular Book” by Trustpilot. My book is available in English, French, Spanish, paperback, audiobooks, e-books, and on an album [To Flourish]. The impact of these poems is expressed worldwide in positive ways. My inspirational poetry book has been nominated “Best Nonfiction Inspirational Poetry Book in the World,” “Best Nonfiction Poetry Book in the World,” and listed in “1000 Leaders of World Influence” by the International Biographical Centre in Cambridge, England. Readers have found answers to their prayers and helped them find purpose, meaning, fulfillment, and God's purpose for them in their lives. My plays give audiences the experience of the life of Christ and God’s greatness. My performances and presentations of my poetry at programs and functions leave audiences in “aha” moments and are overwhelmed by the revelations and insights revealed to them. What advice would you give to inspiring writers looking to connect their work with deeper spiritual meaning? My advice to inspiring writers is to use your gifts to encourage others to be the best that they can be with faith and hope. Seek and write the truth using the gifts given to you by God in poetry, prose, plays, novels, songs, etc. Leave your readers with encouragement, hope, peace, a feeling of belonging in believing better of themselves by knowing there is a purpose for their lives, and knowing that God is with them always. How can your teaching and writing help individuals and communities experience greater awareness and transformation? My inspirational prophetic poems and parables inspired by God give readers and communities hope in knowing that God is in control and putting their trust in him. My writings inspire readers to not give up because God has not given up on them, no matter what. Your best days are not behind you but in front of you, and they are yet to come. Be who God wants you to be and do. For when two or more are gathered in his name. He will be with us all. Follow me on Facebook , Instagram , and visit my website for more info!

Written by Sarah Cann, Marketing Partner At Powered by Sarah Cann, we transform bold visions into measurable results through masterful marketing. With over 20 years of experience, we help high-performing entrepreneurs scale with precision, authenticity, and confidence. Many entrepreneurs focus solely on improving their marketing funnel, but the real issue often lies in the entire system. In this article, Sarah Cann explores why a successful business requires more than just a funnel, it needs a comprehensive, interconnected marketing system. Discover how to identify and address missing pieces to build a machine that drives growth and boosts conversions. When the funnel isn’t the problem You’ve probably heard this before, “You just need a better funnel.” But what if the funnel isn’t the problem? What if it’s simply one part of a larger system, and the real issue is that the other parts aren’t in place? Most of the founders I work with have invested in marketing. They’ve built offers, posted content, created sales pages, and maybe even dabbled in ads. But despite the pieces being there, they’re still stuck in cycles of hustle, hoping, and low conversions. The truth? They don’t need more pieces. They need a working machine. The car analogy (and why it matters) Think of your marketing system like a car. It only drives when all the parts are assembled, in the right order, and maintained properly. Here’s how I break it down: Frame = your brand: This is your positioning, messaging, and identity. Without a frame, everything else collapses. Wheels = your assets: Website, social platforms, email list, funnels, offers. These help you move forward, but they need structure. Engine = strategy: Segmentation, targeting, pricing, product architecture. Without strategy, the engine doesn’t run. Fuel = content & nurture: Blogs, emails, social content, lead magnets, ad copy. This is what powers the system over time, not just in launches. Driver = you (or your team): Someone has to steer. Without clarity, you end up veering into reactive tactics. Maintenance = data, refinement & support: You don’t just build it once. You tweak, analyze, and optimize so the whole system runs smoothly. Miss even one of these, and the machine sputters. No matter how beautiful your funnel is, it can’t function without fuel, an engine, or a driver. Common breakdowns I see every week Great content, but no lead capture or nurture system Stunning sales pages, that no one ever lands on Funnels without follow-up List-building strategies with no segmentation or backend logic Founders are stuck doing everything manually because the tech isn’t connected These aren’t bad funnels. They’re incomplete machines, and they’re draining your energy. What makes our systems work At Powered by Sarah Cann, we don’t build campaigns in isolation. We build whole systems , ones that: Start with proper market research Map out the journey from stranger to advocate Align brand voice, content, offers, and platforms Work together, not in silos Adapt over time as your business evolves This isn’t one-size-fits-all. It’s strategy-led, done with care, and always built with your long game in mind. Because marketing should support your growth, not constantly demand more of you. Book your marketing systems audit If your marketing feels disjointed, reactive, or underperforming, it’s not you. You probably just need someone to look under the hood. Book a marketing systems audit today and get clear on what’s working, what’s missing, and how to finally make the pieces click. Because a funnel doesn’t grow a business. A full, well-oiled marketing machine does. Follow me on Facebook , Instagram , LinkedIn , and visit my website for more info!

Written by Zapheria Bell, Menopause Advocate and Midlife Disruptor Zapheria is the creator of The 5 Passages of Menopause™ and founder of the Institute of Inner Mastery. She helps high-achieving women decode midlife, reclaim their voice, and rise through menopause with clarity, confidence, and embodied power. For decades, women have been taught to interpret midlife changes as decline. An inevitable slide into invisibility or instability. In this reframing, menopause advocate and educator Zapheria reveals how workplaces, systems, and women themselves can lead through it with clarity and power. In my early 40s, I started forgetting names mid meeting. I would lose my train of thought while speaking on stage. I would lie awake at 3 am, wired, crying, and wondering, “What the F is happening to me?” At first, I blamed stress. Overwork. Age. My partner. I wish I knew then that what was happening was not burnout. It was an internal upgrade. The unraveling beneath the résumé Many high achieving women hit a wall in midlife. Not because they are failing, but because the “modern” structures around them are not built to hold their biology, brilliance, or becoming. And here is what we now know. Menopause is one of the most neurologically significant transitions a woman will ever navigate. Hormonal shifts recalibrate her brain’s emotional regulation, motivation, memory, and stress response. She is likely at the height of her career while juggling aging parents, teenage children, and deep questions about her own purpose. The majority of workplaces are largely unequipped to support women during peri menopause and menopause. And yet, the cost of women walking away at the peak of their careers is high. A UK parliamentary report cites BUPA research showing that 900,000 women left their jobs because menopause symptoms made it impossible to continue working.[3] In the United States, menopausal symptoms are linked to an estimated 1.8 billion dollars per year in lost productivity from missed workdays.[4] Nine in ten women experience mental health impacts during perimenopause. One in ten experience suicidal thoughts. What if we put the needed systems in place to nurture this powerful shift in women? One billion women will be in menopause by 2030.[1] It is time we change the old, outdated narrative and make the small tweaks needed in the workplace to reap the benefits of the recalibrated brain and nervous system of the post menopausal woman. Midlife is not a breakdown, it is a reckoning Here is the truth I wish more women heard. Menopause does not just shift your hormones. It reshapes your identity. It breaks the mask of performance. It surfaces the emotions we have suppressed for years. It reveals what no longer fits. And while that may feel like a breakdown, it is actually a recalibration. When women move through this transition with support, language, and structure, something astonishing happens. They stop tolerating what depletes them. They start saying what is true. They lead with sharper insight, embodied wisdom, and greater discernment. They stop managing their careers. They start owning their leadership. In the workplace, that translates to a powerful leader who knows how to cut through the bullsh*t. One who sees what many others cannot see. One who does not hold back in moving the company forward. One who carries a new level of grounded self-assurance that does not need to perform. Midlife women leaders are your company’s secret weapon The benefit of a menopausal woman in the workplace is that she carries the maturity, discernment, boundaries, and deep leadership capacity that most companies are desperately missing. She can become the most powerful leader in the company When supported properly, menopausal women often become: wise mentors exceptional senior leaders strategic decision makers community builders high trust managers Not despite menopause, but because it evolves them. Menopause often triggers what many women call the “I’m done performing” phase That creates: clearer standards less people pleasing healthier workload management better delegation reduced tolerance for dysfunction In a company, this looks like, higher efficiency and less burnout culture. Menopausal women often become anchors Even if they are experiencing symptoms, they often hold: emotional maturity compassion without enabling strong relational awareness team steadiness They are often the ones who prevent workplace toxicity from taking over. A woman in this stage typically has less need for: approval status games proving herself office politics And more desire for: meaning impact legacy truth That creates stronger values-based leadership, which improves trust. Many women report that midlife brings: clearer pattern recognition better intuition and decision making stronger “BS detection” higher strategic intelligence Menopause often strips out the noise. So instead of “busy work,” she naturally moves toward priority, precision, and strategy. What women and the world need to understand now This is not a niche wellness issue. This is a leadership conversation. It is time we recognize that: the female brain changes during menopause in measurable, predictable ways. Emotional thresholds shift. Motivation rewires. Identity reformation is not weakness. It is wisdom being born. Nervous system repair and hormonal support are essential for retention and advancement. When we stop framing midlife as a crisis and start seeing it as an unmasking, we create space for women to rise without apology. And companies that understand this? They will not just retain their female leaders. They will amplify them. If you want your business to not only retain your most valuable midlife employees, but also have them leading at a new level, email me here . It is not an ending, it is an emerging If you are in the middle of the fog, fatigue, or full body “What is happening?” moment, let me say this clearly: You are not crazy. You are not failing. You are not broken. You are becoming. And the more we normalize this truth, the more powerfully women will rise, not in spite of midlife, but because of it.

Written by Dhivyaa Chelvan, Author, Transformational Coach, Energy Healer Dhivyaa Chelvan is a transformational coach, energy healer, and author of The Art of Authenticity: Live Your Unique Essence. She helps women reclaim their purpose, embody their power, and build lives and businesses rooted in ancient wisdom, energetic alignment, and soulful authen ticity. For decades, leadership has been defined by one core expectation: consistency. Consistent output. Consistent availability. Consistent performance, regardless of internal state. While this model has been normalized across industries, it is not neutral. It is rooted in a linear understanding of productivity, one that aligns more closely with the male hormonal system than with the lived biological reality of women. As more women step into leadership roles, entrepreneurship, and decision-making power, the limitations of this model are becoming increasingly visible. Burnout, disengagement, chronic stress, and loss of intuitive clarity are no longer personal failures. They are systemic mismatches. Women do not lead best by overriding themselves. They lead best by understanding their rhythm.   The body as the first leadership system The male hormonal system operates largely on a 24-hour cycle. Testosterone rises in the morning, supporting focus, drive, and outward action, and tapers toward evening. This creates relatively predictable energy patterns from day to day. The female body functions differently. Women operate on a monthly hormonal cycle, shaped by fluctuating levels of estrogen and progesterone. These shifts influence not only physical energy, but also cognition, creativity, emotional sensitivity, intuition, and decision-making capacity. This is cyclical intelligence. When leadership models expect women to show up with the same output, tone, and capacity every day, many women adapt by overriding their bodies. Over time, this leads to burnout, hormonal imbalance, chronic fatigue, and a quiet erosion of self-trust. This causes misalignment.   The inner seasons of the female cycle and productivity A woman’s hormonal cycle mirrors the rhythms of nature itself, moving through distinct inner seasons. Each phase supports a different form of productivity and leadership intelligence. Inner winter (menstrual phase): Reflection and truth Energy turns inward. Sensitivity and intuition deepen. This phase supports review, discernment, and closure rather than outward output. Productivity here is about clarity, not action.   Inner spring (follicular phase): Initiation and vision As estrogen rises, curiosity, optimism, and creative momentum return. This is an ideal phase for brainstorming, planning, learning, and starting new initiatives. Inner Spring supports ideation and possibility, not sustained execution.   Inner summer (ovulatory phase): Expression and leadership Estrogen peaks, supporting communication, confidence, and collaboration. This is the most externally productive phase and is ideal for meetings, presentations, launches, and visibility. Modern productivity culture often assumes women should operate in this phase continuously. In reality, summer is powerful precisely because it is temporary.   Inner fall (luteal phase): Discernment and completion Progesterone rises, and attention becomes more selective. This phase supports editing, refinement, boundary-setting, and completing work. Productivity here is focused and precise, though it is often misunderstood as irritability or withdrawal. Redefining productivity through cycles In a cyclical model, productivity is not measured by constant output. It is defined by right action at the right time. When women work against their inner seasons, productivity becomes effortful and draining. When they work with them, creativity becomes sustainable, decision-making improves, and leadership feels coherent rather than forced. Timing, not force, becomes the primary leadership skill.   What about post-menopausal women? Post-menopause is often framed as a loss of rhythm. In reality, it marks a shift from cyclical fluctuation to integrated wisdom and well-being. While monthly hormonal cycling softens, wisdom concentrates. Many post-menopausal women experience clearer boundaries, sharper discernment, and a stronger alignment with truth and purpose. Productivity in this phase is no longer driven by hormonal momentum, but by essence. Some women choose to attune to lunar or seasonal rhythms as symbolic or energetic anchors, though this is not biological or universal. Rhythm becomes something a woman consciously chooses rather than something dictated by hormones. In many cultures, this stage of life was honored as elderhood, a time of mentorship, long-range vision, and stewardship.   Why this matters for leadership and society Leadership does not exist in isolation. Women influence families, teams, organizations, and communities. When women lead while disconnected from their bodies, entire systems absorb the strain. When women lead from cyclical awareness, leadership becomes more humane, resilient, and sustainable. This model does not soften leadership. It stabilizes it. Re-defining strength Strength is responsiveness, discernment, and coherence between inner state and outer action. Women do not need to become more consistent to lead well. They need permission and skill to lead in rhythm. As leadership evolves, the future will not belong to those who push the hardest, but to those who understand timing, sustainability, and life itself. And that is a form of intelligence our world can no longer afford to ignore.   How companies should invest in a cyclical leadership model Supporting women in leadership is not a matter of accommodation. It is a matter of intelligent investment. A cyclical leadership model strengthens productivity and outcomes by aligning systems with how human energy and decision-making actually work. Here is where organizations can invest, practically and strategically.   1. Outcome-based performance models Cyclical leadership thrives when productivity is measured by impact rather than constant visibility. This requires investment in: Outcome-based evaluation frameworks Trust-driven leadership metrics Reduced emphasis on performative busyness When results matter more than optics, women are no longer rewarded for override. They are rewarded for clarity, discernment, and effective timing. 2. Flexible structural design, not ad hoc exceptions Flexibility should be embedded into organizational design, not treated as a special request. This includes: flexible scheduling that does not penalize career progression autonomy in structuring deep-focus versus collaborative work rhythms of work that allow for cycles of intensity and recovery Organizations that normalize flexibility retain senior women leaders and reduce long-term attrition costs.   3. Leadership education that includes rhythm and timing Most leadership training focuses on strategy, communication, and execution. Very few address timing, energy management, or nervous system intelligence. Investment areas include: Leadership development programs that integrate cyclical awareness Education on decision-making across different energy states Tools that help leaders recognize when to act, pause, or reassess Timing is a leadership skill. Organizations that train for it make better decisions.   4. Invest in sustainable leadership Burnout is expensive. Attrition, disengagement, and replacement costs far exceed the investment required to support sustainable leadership. Organizations that invest in cyclical models: See longer leadership tenures Experience healthier team dynamics Reduce hidden burnout-related costs. Sustainability is a performance strategy. The strategic return on investment Investing in cyclical leadership models produces measurable outcomes: Improved decision quality Stronger retention of women leaders Reduced burnout and disengagement Leadership cultures rooted in coherence rather than urgency   This is not about privileging one group. It is about aligning leadership design with reality. The future of leadership will favor organizations that understand rhythm, timing, and sustainability as strategic assets. Those who invest now will lead longer, wiser, and with far greater resilience. For women leaders navigating growth, responsibility, and transition, sustainable leadership requires more than strategy alone. Become is a private mentorship for women who want to integrate clarity, discernment, and embodied decision-making into how they lead and operate. This work supports leaders in moving beyond burnout, strengthening inner authority, and making aligned decisions that hold over time.

Written by John Clayton, Execution Architect John is the creator of the E9 Mastery System, a breakthrough framework that weaponises execution to forge identity, destroy inertia, and drive deep transformation. His work merges behavioural psychology with system architecture to create real, relentless change. There are moments in life when nothing is obviously wrong, yet everything feels unsettled. You are still functioning. Still showing up. Still doing what needs to be done. But internally, something no longer fits. The identity you have been living inside begins to feel tight. The old motivations lose their pull. The things that once drove you no longer hold the same weight. From the outside, this can look like instability. From the inside, it feels like confusion, fatigue, and quiet resistance.   Most people misinterpret this phase. They assume something is failing. A relationship. A career. Their discipline. Their mindset. They try to fix it quickly. They distract themselves. They push harder. They numb it. Or they panic and try to return to who they used to be.   But this is often a mistake. Because it does not mean things are falling apart. It means something is changing.   Growth does not arrive with instructions. It rarely announces itself clearly. More often, it shows up as discomfort. As restlessness. As a loss of certainty. As a sense that the life you are living was built for a version of you that no longer exists.   This is where many people turn back. They choose familiarity over truth. They cling to roles that once gave them validation. They stay in environments that slowly drain them because leaving feels too uncertain. They convince themselves that feeling numb is safer than feeling exposed. But transition does not ask for comfort. It asks for honesty. At some point, you are forced to confront a simple question. Are you living deliberately, or are you repeating patterns because they are known?   For me, this question became unavoidable. I realised that discipline alone was no longer enough. Productivity without direction only leads to burnout. Control without meaning eventually collapses inward. I had built systems for performance, but not for alignment. That realisation was uncomfortable. It stripped away excuses. It required me to sit with uncertainty instead of rushing to fill it. And it forced me to look at how often I was executing out of habit rather than intention. That is where the E9 system began to take shape. Not as motivation. Not as self-improvement. But as a framework for execution, when identity itself is shifting. A way to move forward without needing everything to feel resolved. A way to act without betraying yourself. E9 is not about pushing through discomfort blindly. It is about recognising when discomfort is information. When resistance is pointing toward misalignment. When the answer is not more effort, but a different structure. Transition demands a different kind of execution. Not the frantic kind driven by fear. Not the performative kind designed to impress others. But a quieter, more deliberate form of action that rebuilds trust with yourself. This phase often feels lonely. People around you may not understand why you are changing. They may question your choices. Some may prefer the version of you that was easier to predict. That is part of the process. Growth requires shedding not only old habits, but old expectations placed on you by others. And that can feel like loss, even when it is necessary. If you are in this place now, here is what matters most. Do not rush to label this phase as failure. Do not numb it away. Do not outsource your sense of direction to noise, trends, or quick fixes. Instead, slow down enough to observe what is no longer working. Notice where your energy leaks. Pay attention to what feels heavy rather than meaningful.   Then build forward intentionally. One decision at a time. One structure at a time. One action that aligns with who you are becoming, not who you were. Transition is not a breakdown. It is a passage. And if you allow it, it can become the most honest chapter of your life. Follow me on Facebook , Instagram , and LinkedIn  for more info!

Kate supports systemic health & wellness through personalised nutrition, diet and lifestyle strategies & recommendations, and particularly specialises in Brain health, cognitive function and Dementia risk-avoidance. With the traditional month for New Year's Resolutions having been and gone, some intentions will have survived (hooray!), whereas others may already have succumbed to the to-do list archives and been perpetually overshadowed by overseeing and administering the necessities of everyday life. But now that the immediate pressure of the New Year has somewhat abated, why not take a breath and take stock of a simple new hack you can gift to yourself for your health? It does not have to be complicated, it does not need to be profoundly transformative (progress is often cumulative rather than instantaneous), and if you miss a day, that does not mean you have failed, simply pick up where you left off and restart. The best-kept intentions tend to be the diminutive-but-consistent ones. Therefore, making them as easy as possible significantly increases your chance of success. Remember, you are doing this for you. You can tell everyone to hold you accountable, or you can tell nobody, go with whichever proclamation method best suits you. So whether you are a public declaration person or a connoisseur of confidentiality, here are six straightforward and sustainable Nutr’isms to get you started in up-healthing your daily diet in 2026 (and beyond). Eat (at least) one green leafy salad or vegetable with every main meal, every day. These foods are rich in B-Complex Vitamins (and a plethora of other nutrients such as fibre and Magnesium) which support Neurotransmission (messaging) and have the added benefit of regulating (lowering) excess homocysteine build-up. (If hyperhomocysteinemia is unregulated, the elevated homocysteine status may trigger subsequent cognitive decline by exacerbating damage to the Brain’s vasculature.) Adding green salads & vegetables does not have to be complicated. A side salad of cucumber, rocket or watercress, a teaspoon of dried herbs, a palm-sized portion of classic vegetable greens, broccoli, cabbage, chard, kale, and/or peas is an excellent start. The extra textures and flavours you will gain from adding a salad or vegetable also give you an opportunity to remove any ultra-processed, ultra-flavoured dressings/sauces on food, which do very little to nothing for your health. So, however you can, adding greenery to your 2026 is an investment in your Brain health & Brainspan. Try not to be too dependent on Artificial Intelligence. It is vital that we keep our Brains active, challenging, and stimulating them as often as possible within the realms of what is feasible for our personal lifestyle. Relying on AI may exacerbate the tendency to outsource Brain power, with potential risk of unnecessarily limiting Neuroplasticity (neurone-connection-forming learning). So if you don’t have to use AI to script a document/presentation, or if you can go shopping in-person rather than clicking a button online and relying on a third party to bring shopping to your door, then do meet, greet, interact, acquire steps, and exercise your Brain by using it, counteracting the risk of losing it. Nibble on a square-or-two of 85% cacao chocolate every day. Research suggests this is surprisingly nutritious (containing notable quantities of antioxidant polyphenols, fibre, magnesium, and more), and that this percentage of cocoa flavanols is the ‘sweet spot’ to convey Brain health and cognition benefits. It also supports gut health through its lower-sugar-to-higher-fibre-content ratio, and since it possesses more of a bitter taste than what we consider ‘typical’ chocolate, there is less chance of craving and over-indulging and more chance of supporting Brainspan (and Gutspan). Invest in sleep, your Brain’s Savings Bank. Somewhat paradoxically, sleep can be considered both an investment in and a drain for your Brain. Sleep is your Brain’s optimal time to detoxify via the Glymphatic ‘waste disposal’ system (hence the ‘drain’ reference). Optimal sleep is typically defined as achieving seven hours (unbroken) sleep per night, and chronically getting fewer hours may increase the risk of cognitive decline. There are various sleep hygiene practices you can try to improve your sleep quantity & quality. Seek professional recommendations for personalised techniques, but a few general sleep investment ideas include air filtering in your bedroom, full darkness in your bedroom, and no television or mobile device in your bedroom. (I am a great advocate of reading a book as this may achieve two things, you may learn something new or at least some new vocabulary, which benefits Neuroplasticity, and/or the act of reading a book may gently encourage sleepiness). Prioritising sleep as best you can truly is an investment in your Brain health, so if anyone challenges you on why you are going to bed early, tell them it’s for your Brainspan! Include a source of Omega-3 essential fat in your daily diet. The Brain is approximately 60% fat, so it needs nourishing with beneficial dietary fats. Oily fish (such as herring, sardines, anchovies, trout, mackerel) is the richest dietary source of Omega-3, but for variety (and if you do not particularly like fish) then seeds (chia, flax, hemp), nuts (Walnuts) and Omega-enriched eggs (also excellent sources of Brain-beneficial Choline), are also rich in Omega-3 essential fatty acid. When you can, do mix & match your Omega sources, after all, variety in itself is good for Brain health. Exercise: not too little but not too much. There are a few ways to approach this. Resistance/weight training has been endorsed for supporting cognitive function, and unless you feel particularly Herculean, this could take the gentle form of purchasing some light wrist/ankle weights or dumbbells and getting into the habit of completing a few lifts each morning. If this does not appeal, research also suggests that briskly walking as few as 3,800 daily steps may offer supportive benefits for Brain health & Brainspan. (Although greater movement and number of steps do confer Brainspan support, it is no longer considered vital to achieve the often-cited 10,000 steps per day.) As an aside, exercise in all its forms encourages the generation of Brain Derived Neurotrophic Factor (a natural ‘fertiliser for the Brain’) and may support your sleep too. So movement in a capacity that suits you is seemingly a win-win for whole-body & Brain health.   I hope you enjoyed these light-hearted Nutritional Therapy tips and can see yourself carrying them on throughout 2026. If a functional medicine perspective to nurturing, nourishing, and supporting your Brain health and cognitive function is of interest, the time to act is now, why postpone what could be actioned today? Investing in your Brain health and Brainspan could be the wisest decision you ever make. Please note that these are general Nutritional Therapy Functional Medicine recommendations. They are not personalised, and they are not tailored to account for or include recommendations for any existing health imbalances or medical conditions. In these cases, please consult a medical professional and/or a Nutritionist/Dietitian expert if you have a particular health or dietary requirement.

Written by Craig Cooke, Mentor, Author, Speaker & Conscious Entrepreneur Craig Cooke is a 5x Inc. 5000 CEO and Founder. He is an award-winning, bestselling Author of Business Kung Fu and a sought after success mentor.. Craig combines mindset, mastery and energetics with his Five Elements of Success framework to inspire and empower people to accellerate business growth and personal success. Success isn’t just about talent or tactics, it’s about energy, how you mobilize it, direct it, and rebalance it when life and business apply pressure. In Business Kung Fu , I introduced the “Five Elements of Success,” a modern success framework inspired by the Chinese concept of wuxing, often translated as the Five Phases or the Five Elements, an interdependent, cyclical framework used for understanding patterns, relationships, and balance. In this article, you’ll get a practical, step-by-step guide to applying the Five Elements as a diagnostic and execution tool so you can identify where you’re thriving, where you’re stuck, and what to do next. Are you ready to embark on a new journey of success? Then I invite you to continue reading. How to use this guide in 10 minutes Before you read the five elements, do a quick self-audit. Rate yourself on each element listed below from 1–10 based on your current reality (not your aspiration). Just be intuitive about it. Then, read on to gain further understanding. Passion (energy + meaning) Discipline (structure + consistency) Expertise (skill + refinement) Confidence (decisiveness + execution) Faith (resilience + trust through uncertainty) The five elements of success Here’s the model: Passion: the spark that ignites and fuels your journey Discipline: the structure that builds and holds your momentum Expertise: the refinement and mastery of your unique skills Confidence: the power to act on your mastery Faith: the trust that carries you through uncertainty Passion: The spark that ignites and fuels your journey When you're aligned with your passion, something remarkable happens, you wake up energized. You’re excited to get up and go to work. While working, you enter what I call deep “Rhythm States,” which are flow states. This is where time disappears, and action feels effortless. It is not forced but rather completely natural. Typical psychology describes flow as an optimal experience arising from intense involvement in an enjoyable activity. However, passion is more than excitement. It’s the energetic driver that ignites and fuels discipline. It gives your work meaning. It aligns your spirit with your craft. The two faces of imbalance: Excessive passion and deficient passion Excessive passion: When passion runs too hot, it becomes chaotic. You say yes to everything. You chase shiny objects. You overcommit, creating motion without meaningful progress. This leads to negative emotions that trigger reactive behaviors, such as anxiety, scattered focus, feeling lost, or experiencing “busy” seasons with shallow wins. This leads to a feeling that you do not know where you are going, creating more anxiety and potentially even panic. Deficient passion: When passion is depleted, you drift. There’s no north star, only a feeling of obligation. This also leads to a feeling of being lost. Common symptoms that surface are low motivation, a disconnection or total lack of purpose, decision fatigue, and avoidance. Ultimately, this can also lead to feelings of anxiety. How to rebalance passion Define the “why” in one sentence. If you can’t explain why this work matters, you’ll eventually outsource your motivation to caffeine and urgency. If you can’t find your “why,” then be introspective. Explore your existence. Find what brings you joy and fulfillment. Create an “energy boundary.” Pick one thing you will stop doing for 30 days that drains you, something that blocks your focus and prevents progress on the things that matter to you. Engineer one rhythm trigger. Use clear goals, protected time, and reduced interruptions. If you lead a team, consider how the work environment can foster flow. Look at your environment. Is it conducive to energy flowing freely, or is it cluttered and obstructive? What can you change in your environment from a multisensory experience to trigger a higher rhythm state? Discipline: The structure that turns intention into results Passion initiates, discipline converts. This is where you transform inspiration into a reliable execution rhythm. Discipline is not to be confused with rigidity. It’s governance, creating methods that keep you moving forward when motivation fluctuates. When it’s working, discipline looks like the following: You have a realistic daily and weekly rhythm. Your priorities show up on your calendar. You execute consistently, even when you’re not “in the mood.” You show up, you’re productive, and you’re effective. The two faces of imbalance: Excessive discipline and deficient discipline Excessive discipline: Yes, there are times when you can employ too much discipline. It often shows when you become mechanical, and creativity drops. You may confuse intensity with effectiveness. You start to ignore your own self-care, which then leads to feeling and exhibiting symptoms of burnout. Deficient discipline: You start and stop. You renegotiate commitments with yourself daily. You start to operate in reactive mode. There is a lack of effectiveness in your work. Your productivity diminishes, and there may be times when you don’t even show up. Signs of apathy and laziness are displayed. It may sound harsh, but it is what it is. How to build discipline without burning out Make habits obvious, easy, and satisfying. Reduce friction in your work and day. Define small wins and achieve those on a regular basis. Use those wins as stepping stones to build upon. Take time to examine your work. Are you passionate about it? Are you committed to achieving what you set out to do? Work towards successfully implementing the three levels of discipline that I define in Business Kung Fu: Showing up Being productive Being effective (producing value with your work) Expertise: The refinement of your unique skills Expertise is where you stop being merely competent and start becoming undeniably valuable. In business terms, this is your capability moat, the skill stack that differentiates you. Think of it this way, when you fulfill your potential of expertise, you build mastery of your craft, which leads to the attainment of wisdom. This wisdom is the understanding of how you can produce the maximum value in the marketplace for your products and services. The two faces of imbalance: Excessive expertise and deficient expertise Excessive expertise: It may sound odd, but yes, there can be an excess condition of expertise. There is a pattern that can be identified with this state of imbalance. It displays itself as perfectionism, over-iterating, and waiting for the perfect moment. Every day starts to feel the same. You’ve grown bored with your craft. Your work lacks novelty, challenge, or meaning. Your skills, once a competitive advantage, haven’t evolved with the market. This is the trap of expertise, believing mastery is a final destination, instead of an ever-evolving path needing continuous micro-adjustments. Left unchecked, this creates apathy, stagnation, and eventually, irrelevance. Deficient expertise: The pattern of apathy looks similar to an excess condition, but the cause is different. You’ve developed solid skills, but not mastery. You’re good but not great. This is the plateau stage. You’ve hit a brick wall. Progress feels slow. Frustration builds. You feel stuck. You even question your path or your potential. How to remain a master of your craft Commit to the breakthrough. Mastery lives on the other side of the wall. Push through the boring reps. Invest in mentorship. Do the work others stop doing. Research how you can evolve your skills. What are the newest emerging trends in your industry? Research and discover a new approach. Experiment. Most people quit when the work gets dull. The master doubles down. Confidence: The power to act on your mastery Confidence is execution energy. It’s your willingness to place bets on decisions, on conversations, on moves that create leverage, and most importantly, on yourself. Your confidence enables you to execute behaviors necessary to produce outcomes. It builds trust with your team and customers. It inspires people to follow you. Your confidence is radiant and shines like the sun, attracting the right people and opportunities to your light. The two faces of imbalance: Excessive confidence and deficient confidence Excessive confidence: This is when confidence becomes self-centered. It’s all about you. You don’t credit your team, and you ignore feedback. You stop listening to others because you believe you’ve got all the answers. You even take reckless risks. This kind of arrogance blinds you. You don’t realize what you don’t know, and you stop growing. Eventually, life humbles you. Deficient confidence: This is the opposite extreme, a life led by fear. Fear of failure. Fear of judgment. Fear of not being “enough.” This typically shows up as procrastination, hesitation, and negative self-talk. Unfortunately, this can lead to missed opportunities before they ever have a chance to bloom. You tell yourself, “Who do you think you are?” “You’re not good enough.” “You can’t pull this off.” This is one of the most dangerous enemies of success, internal sabotage. How to radiate real confidence and shine like the sun Understand your value. Know the value you bring to the room, to any situation. Utilize positive affirmations. Study personal development. When balanced, confidence becomes grace in action. You execute without force. You lead without ego. You speak with clarity. You listen without defensiveness. Balanced confidence is magnetic. It doesn’t shout, it shines. It doesn’t convince, it invites. Faith: The trust that carries you through uncertainty Faith is the stabilizer when outcomes aren’t immediate, when you’re doing the work but the scoreboard hasn’t moved yet. This isn’t passive positivity. Faith is strategic resilience, the ability to keep going, learn, and re-engage without collapsing into doubt or cynicism. Faith is not wishful thinking. It’s not blind hope. It’s not naïve optimism. Faith is the power to move forward when logic, evidence, and emotion all say you shouldn’t. It is the element that carries you through the unknown. It’s what keeps the warrior standing when the battle seems lost. I define two levels of faith. They are: Faith in self: This is where it begins. The belief that you are capable. The conviction that you can overcome. That you can build something from nothing. That you can rise again. Faith in something greater than yourself: This is where you trust in a higher power, a divine intelligence. A certainty that you have a team in the spirit world that loves, guides, and supports you. An understanding that there is a universal rhythm that conspires for your success. The two faces of imbalance: Excessive faith and deficient faith Excessive faith: You think positively. You set intentions. You trust the universe will provide, but you don’t act. You’re meditating, journaling, vision boarding, yet avoiding what needs to be done. There’s no movement. No momentum. Does this sound familiar? Often, people question, “Why isn’t this law of attraction stuff working?” You may even fall into the trap of relying on hope, which is not a strategy. Deficient faith: This is the darkest state. Faith is gone. Hope is lost. You’ve hit the bottom. You are seconds away from quitting. This is the most dangerous place to be. This is where you can give up, and despite all your time and effort, walk away from the opportunities that are within reach but that you just can’t see through the fog of despair. How to retain a healthy balance of faith Like a single candle in a pitch-black cave, one tiny flame of belief can begin to light the way. With the element of faith, keep in mind that you need a healthy balance. This means believing with certainty but also remaining grounded and practical in the world. A healthy and practical way of balancing your faith includes the following habits: Look for signs and symbols Clear your mind and listen for guidance Hear the inner voice to guide you forward Employ a meditation practice Conduct daily affirmations to co-create the reality you desire Take action on any insights you derive from seeing and listening Even a flicker of faith can ignite the fire of transformation. Reach for one reason to believe again. Find one truth, one ally, one insight, and follow it. Remember, the warrior spirit endures through faith. And once you overcome, faith reignites passion. The cycle begins again, stronger, wiser, and more aligned than before. Maintaining the balance with the 5 elements of success Even when you have successfully balanced each of the elements, life has a funny way of knocking you out of balance. This occurs through unexpected events, usually through interactions with people, places, and things in a variety of environments. The trick is, "How quickly can you get back to balance and maintain that balance over time?" The best way is to employ practices that engage the entire being, mind, body, and spirit. The practice that has had the biggest, most profound impact on me is qigong. If you’d like a guided path to apply the Five Elements through an embodied practice framework, my program Qigong for Business Professionals integrates energetic regulation, performance mindset, and the Five Elements model. And if you want the full strategic foundation behind the model, you can explore Business Kung Fu , which details how to navigate the chaos of the professional world using this approach.

Written by Ranya AlHusaini, Mindset Transformation Guru Ranya Alhusaini is a mindset transformation guru. Besides, she is a Hypnotherapist, Rapid Transformation Therapy Practitioner, and NLP. Ranya dug her way through self-discovery, curiosity, and knowledge. As a child, the first time you pronounced a word correctly, your mother clapped and smiled warmly. That was your first encounter with success, long before you understood what it truly means. You anchored success with this belief: “When I do well, people are pleased, and when people are pleased, I am accepted”. At that moment, success took root in your subconscious, intertwining deeply with your inner circle. At an earlier stage, success was not just an achievement, but more of a cherished moment. A compilation of moments expanded with warmth for deeper connection, moments of acknowledgment, validation, and pride. At the same time, your nervous system was recording every minor reaction, diversely implying around success, like the smile after a good grade, the praise for being responsible, and the safety that follows the righteous actions. And now, your nervous system is aware and knows all signals toward success. Unknowingly, this was the first contract you have signed quietly with the world around you. In today’s article, we speak deeply about why success can’t heal your self-worth. The emotional story behind success As a child, you never questioned what success was all about. Between the ages of four and seven, experiences were stored as an emotional pattern. A softened voice, a smile, and a relaxed atmosphere became tied to achievements. Children started anchoring another layer to success, like kindness, calm atmosphere, harmony between relationship, and warm love. Earlier in life, you were believing in how success can open doors to great resources. Hence, you were building more on a belief that says ”my success can create safety”. Children’s realization is leading them to learn profoundly and quietly the weight of their action, repeating, “My action is my responsibility, and my responsibility is to succeed, because success brings safety”. How success becomes an emotional obligation The more responsibilities you add to the grid of aspiration, success becomes less of a joy and more of a stabilizing force of harmony. A child's realization can repeat on “When I do well, everything around me feels calmer and my parents’ emotions stabilize”. This is when success starts shifting roles from bringing joy to a responsibility. This belief follows you quietly to adulthood, leading you to lean more on achievements to gain respect. Finally, your subconscious can build more on protection while repeating,” If you keep succeeding, everything stays okay.” The performance loop you carry into adulthood With this on autopilot, “if you keep succeeding, everything stays okay, " the nervous system equates performance with safety, productivity with reassurance, and effort with protection. On progress, you refuse to rest or break from this cycle, thinking it might disrupt the momentum. With time, success becomes the language of reassurance, a coin of validation in the community. Behind the scenes, the nervous system stays in a state of over-functioning, rarely recalibrating to rejuvenate wellbeing maintenance. This is when achievement is tied strongly to identity and emotional survival. From here, the discomfort of over-functioning can be an underlying dilemma of perfection, securing you mentally, emotionally, and financially. Urging your subconscious to chase familiar successful situations and expand more into connections and performance. Why slowing down feels threatening Many high achievers refuse the concept of slowing down, thinking vulnerability is a state of dysfunctional progress leading to stagnation. The role of your subconscious mind is to keep always on levels of protection, prioritization, and punishment. In this scenario, you are subconsciously being protected, leaving you less to depression and more to over-progression. Subconsciously, your belief system builds more on maintaining a progressive momentum of continuous performance, thinking to yourself, “resting can threaten your success and diminish protection”. Yet, your mind is repetitively revealing to your conscious “Don’t stop till you drop.” The deeper meaning behind performance The brain  is continuously integrating sensory information and forming internal predictions about the world, relationships, and situations we move through. With time, the nervous system learns to anticipate, sense, and respond with ease. These neural patterns are shaped by what has been implicitly stored within the subconscious, forming the basis of the relational intelligence. This fundamental mechanism influences both the subconscious and the conscious responses, allowing individuals to live and navigate life with precision. Children learned to perform according to an internal script shaped within the lines of everyday catches, pushing the most to maintain safety, harmony, and belonging. Success became a coin of validation. Over time, achievements started feeling awkwardly heavy, and a remedy you seek on days of bruised ego. Concluding, Success is an expression of your authentic originality, and not seeking an earlier version of belonging. The truth about success Success is often felt at the end of a prosperous journey, where you reap what you sow. It’s when your effort is paid, and self-doubt erased. A healthy mindset finds success in peaceful moments or places where peace is a dominant factor, leaving no space to chaos and noise. You learned that success can make you master the language of value, respect, and worth. You labelled success as: intelligence, capability, and a deserving position to your effort. Unconsciously, you were relying on success to stabilize and secure acceptance. You questioned, then, why success doesn’t feel like peace? If peace can’t be found after every successful story, remember achievements alone can’t build a harmonise life, nor heal your self-worth. Therefore, self-worth doesn’t grow from external validation , continuous achievements, and a successful life. Real success can’t tolerate external baggage for reclaiming self-worth. Success is owning your worth fairly to the point you need no acknowledgement, but rather a space to celebrate your human uniqueness. The obligations driving an internal exhaustion What you speak to your mind as a daily course of motivation can unconsciously dictate how you direct your effort, consistency, and performance. When you speak with obligations, something like: “I must keep going, no matter how tired I feel.” “I can’t say no, or people will think I’m weak.” “If I stop, everything will fall apart.” “I have to achieve more to be worthy of love or respect.” “I should always look strong, capable, and in control.” “Rest feels unsafe because it might mean I’m not enough.” “I need to fix things for others to feel secure.” “If I fail, I’ll disappoint everyone around me.” “I must always prove myself, even when it’s exhausting.” The above are some repetitive nudges narrating to your mindset, “this is the road to success”. With time, you find yourself repeating a belief that speaks with commitment: “Success comes with a price, and I have to bear it”. And when burnout finally comes knocking on your door, it is misunderstood as hard, long hours of working without resting. The conditional story behind self-worth You rarely speak about self-worth when everything in your life goes well and as planned. A strong awareness of worth becomes noticeable when moment in your life requires you to slow down and find a quiet place to heal. At this moment, you question your worth, your deserving, and your standing in life. Gradually, you find yourself doubting your previous successful stories and repeating to yourself, “I never deserve what I have achieved” or “I don’t feel I am capable enough of what I am pursuing.” You stand there at a cross-road of hesitation, criticising yourself with the following: if I slow down to rest it means “I am not valuable, and If I am not valuable, this means I am not capable, and If I am not capable it means I am not smart enough to carry forward in life, and If I am not all that it means I don’t deserve respect, and I am not worthy, and If I am not worthy I am not enough to be me as I am”. Henceforth, gripping to this belief complicates finding true peace. A reframed image of self-worth Self-worth is a felt experience of your existence, an internal narrative of your own humanity. You are worthy because you are a living human being deserving all respect to live with peace. You are not worthy due to your achievements. You are worthy because you were born with it. An initial state of a humane factor in the cycle of living life. Self-worth cannot be reinforced, nor conditioned according to anyone’s script. At this corner, motivation doesn’t move mountains inside your own conviction, but rather triggers your common sense of realization. If this triggers a notion of chaos, you are questioned to review again how you see your worth without any categorization. Self-worth beyond achievements You are now at a crossword, wanting to experience worth. Yet, you are still confused with what has been learned. You still can’t recognize how worth feels like, is it more like confidence, an applause, or an acknowledgement. What makes you feel more worthy? Is it after graduation, promotion, or owning up to your dreams? In fact, self-worth is an internal permission for living without conditioning, like: Expressing your uniqueness through success Owning up to your ambition without self-judgement Resting to restore more energy for growing Success then can be aligned more to: peace, harmony, confidence, and integrity. A gentle invitation to reflect If this article resonated with you, pause for a moment before moving on. This is not an invitation to fix yourself, but to deepen your awareness and listen inwardly with compassion. I have created a one-page Reflection Guide  designed to help you explore how success may have been shaping your sense of self-worth, emotional safety, and belonging. This was designed to emphasize an intentional space for you to notice the patterns that have been guiding you and to recognize the ones that no longer serve your life. Take a few mindful minutes with the guide. Allow your responses to be honest, not polished. Insight begins with truth, not perfection. If, through this reflection, you became aware of negative emotional patterns that feel exhausting, you don’t have to navigate them alone, and so you are warmly invited to book a discovery call.  Sometimes, clarity comes from allowing yourself to feel supported.

Christian Unorji is an entrepreneur and climate-technology founder focused on building scalable solutions at the intersection of data, sustainability, and environmental governance. He is the Founder and CEO of Elogha Ltd, a UK-based environmental intelligence company developing digital infrastructure that enables governments and organisations to monitor emissions, strengthen regulatory compliance, and make informed sustainability decisions. Unorji Chibuzor Christian, Founder and CEO Who is Christian U, and what inspired you to start Elogha Ltd.? My name is Chibuzor, popularly known as Christian. I am the Founder & CEO of Elogha Ltd.Elogha is a native language of mine which means to recreate and rethink – and that philosophy reflects both my personal journey and the reason the company exists. My background is in accounting, where my interest in environmental accountability first took shape. During my undergraduate degree, I conducted research on environmental accounting disclosures published by mining firms in Nigeria. On paper, many of these companies appeared compliant and responsible, with detailed sustainability reports and environmental statements. Yet, the lived reality in host communities told a very different story. That disconnect – between what was disclosed and what was experienced – stayed with me. It raised a fundamental question: If environmental responsibility looks good on paper but fails people in reality, what is accountability really worth? That question followed me into my master’s research, where I developed an AI-driven intelligent model that translated environmental damage into real financial cost. What struck me wasn’t just that pollution could be measured – it was that it wasn’t being acted on decisively. Governments and institutions didn’t lack concern; they lacked tools that could turn environmental data into enforceable, economic decisions. Elogha was created to close that gap. How does Elogha Ltd. stand out in your industry? Most platforms in the environmental and ESG space focus on reporting and visibility. Elogha focuses on accountability. We don’t just show emissions – we convert environmental impact into policy-ready and finance-ready intelligence. That means translating data into taxes, penalties, compliance thresholds, incentives, and forward-looking risk scenarios. Elogha is built not just for sustainability teams, but for regulators, governments, investors, and decision-makers who need systems that can be acted upon. What are the key services that Elogha Ltd. offers, and how do they benefit clients? Elogha provides real-time satellite-driven emissions tracking, predictive environmental modelling, emission-to-tax simulations, corporate environmental scorecards, compliance dashboards, and ESG APIs. For our clients, this delivers clarity and confidence. They can anticipate regulatory risk, respond proactively rather than reactively, and align environmental responsibility with financial and policy outcomes. In short, we help organizations move from intention to execution. Can you share a recent success story that highlights the impact of your work? One milestone that stands out is securing a Memorandum of Understanding with a UK university specialising in intelligent systems and applied technology. It was a strong validation that Elogha’s work sits at the intersection of academia, policy, and real-world application. Equally meaningful has been the interest from public-sector stakeholders who view Elogha not as a sustainability tool, but as decision-making infrastructure – something that can sit inside national and institutional frameworks. What challenges do your clients typically face, and how do you help them overcome these obstacles? The most common challenge is fragmentation. Environmental data exists everywhere, but it is often inconsistent, disconnected, and difficult to translate into action. Elogha simplifies complexity. We bring multiple data sources into a single, trusted system and convert them into outcomes leaders can use – whether that’s compliance enforcement, financial exposure, or policy design. Our goal is to make environmental accountability practical, not abstract. What do you consider the most important trait for success in your field? Courage. Sustainability is no longer a technical problem; it’s a leadership challenge. It takes courage to design systems that challenge performative compliance and hold institutions accountable, even when that disrupts long-standing norms. How do you approach problem-solving for your clients at Elogha Ltd.? We always begin with the decision, not the technology. We ask: What action does this data need to support? From there, we design systems that are precise, defensible, and usable. If a solution doesn’t change how a decision is made, it doesn’t belong in our platform. What advice would you give to someone looking to work with you for the first time? Come with ambition and honesty. The environmental space doesn’t need more buzzwords – it needs partners who are ready to engage with measurement, accountability, and real outcomes. If you’re serious about impact, Elogha is built for that conversation. How do you stay updated with trends and changes in your industry? I stay close to three worlds: research, policy, and engineering. Innovation happens at their intersection. By engaging with academic institutions, regulatory developments, and technical communities, I ensure Elogha remains both relevant and future-ready. What’s your vision for the future of Elogha Ltd.? My vision is for Elogha to become the global standard for environmental accountability infrastructure – the system governments trust, corporations integrate with, and investors rely on. As we move toward public markets, the goal is not scale for its own sake, but legitimacy, reach, and measurable impact. Environmental responsibility should be transparent, enforceable, and universal. How can potential clients reach out to work with you or learn more about Elogha Ltd.? Elogha is actively expanding its partnerships and institutional engagements. The best way to connect is through our official channels and collaborations, where we engage with governments, organizations, investors, and innovators aligned with our mission.

Written by Maria Alejandra Toledo Valderrama, Holistic Wellness Coach Ale is a Holistic Wellness Practitioner and founder of Ale's Health who creates transformative programs combining Breathwork, Mindfulness, Nutrition, and her own line of organic Health-Snacks. She empowers driven individuals to reconnect Mind & Body while unlocking their full potential. Your mind is lying to you. And you’ve been listening for way too long. I need to tell you something that might sting a bit. Those thoughts running through your head whispering “you’re not good enough” or “that’s not for people like you”? They’re prison bars you’ve built yourself. I know this because I lived it and keep finding more of those as I keep working on my personal growth. How did those limiting beliefs get into my head? They could’ve come from everywhere: my dad’s abandonment, the way my family talked about money, my friend’s circle, the teachers at the 10 schools I went to, and most importantly, the stories I kept telling myself for so long about each belief, consciously and unconsciously. And the worst part, I wasn’t even aware of how stuck I was. But what the hell are limiting beliefs anyway? Think of limiting beliefs as those invisible scripts running in the background of your mind, quietly dictating what you think you can and can’t do. Psychology research tells us these are assumptions we hold about ourselves and the world that  hold us back from achieving what we’re truly capable of .   But that’s not it. These beliefs aren’t even yours. Ends up most of your beliefs were handed to you by parents, teachers, past experiences, society, the media you consumed, the friends, and the culture and environment you grew up in. All these unconscious attitudes often come from childhood learning and experiences that we’ve long forgotten, yet they still control what we do, who we are, and how we see ourselves today. It takes more compelling evidence to change beliefs than it took to create them. That’s from decades of psychological studies. Your brain is literally wired to stick to beliefs once they’re formed, even when they’re completely wrong.   The science behind why you’re stuck Your brain is always trying to keep you safe. And safe to your brain, means keeping everything exactly the same.   Recent neuroscience research has completely shattered the old myth that our brains are “hardwired” and unchangeable after childhood. But truly,   your brain is constantly rewiring itself throughout your entire life  through a process called neuroplasticity, which means you CAN literally change the physical structure of your brain by changing your constant thoughts and behaviours.   Here's how beliefs are structured within: Every experience we have is generated by a chain that begins with a belief. Beliefs lead to thoughts, thoughts create emotions, and emotions drive behaviours. It’s a domino effect! And it starts with what you believe about yourself. Think about that for a sec. If you believe you’re unworthy, you’ll have thoughts about your unworthiness, which eventually will trigger feelings of shame and inadequacy. Feeling “not good enough” and “not capable” to accomplish your own dreams, and all the things that only you are able to see. Just to be clear here, the fact that you are able to see all your dreams, it means you are capable of achieving, and that’s already yours. This is why you’re able to see them. How limiting beliefs are destroying your life right now   Let me paint you a picture. Maybe you’ve been in the same dead-end job for years because you believe “the good things that you get from this company you won’t find in any another”. Or you’ve stayed in a relationship that drains you because deep down you think, “I can make her/him change so we could have a better relationship”. Perhaps you’ve never pursued that business idea, never invested, written that book, or taken that trip because somewhere along the way you decided “people like me don’t do things like that.” The damage isn’t just emotional. Studies have found that people with self-limiting beliefs are   more likely to be unemployed or in lower-paying jobs  compared to those without these beliefs. They lack the confidence to seek better opportunities, creating a cycle of underachievement that spans generations. So, beyond physical illnesses and legal wills, we leave an immense, often unconscious legacy to future generations that shapes their identity, values, and life trajectory. Read that again. Your brain can change (and here’s exactly how) Remember neuroplasticity? That fascinating discovery that your brain can rewire itself? Well, it means that you and I are not stuck with those old beliefs we have.   Neurons that fire together, wire together . This principle is known as Hebb’s rule, and it’s the foundation of how your brain changes. Every time you think a thought or practice a behaviour, you’re nothing but strengthening the neural pathways associated with it. The more you repeat it, the stronger it gets. The less you use a pathway, the weaker it becomes.   This is a door opening for those who truly want to change their lives and the way they think about themselves. It is going to feel uncomfortable, you are going to have moments where you may say I can’t, it’s too difficult. So I want you to pause right there for a sec and remind yourself, “This requires effort and consistent practice. As uncomfortable as it could get, I remind myself why I’m fully committed to do it”. Just like learning any skill, it takes time and baby steps progress. Five steps to break free from limiting beliefs Step 1: Get brutally honest about what you believe You can’t change what you don’t acknowledge. Grab a journal and write down every limiting belief you catch yourself thinking. “I’m too old.” “I’m not creative.” “I always fail.” “Money doesn’t grow on trees.” Get it all out. The awareness alone will shake you. Step 2: Question everything For each belief you wrote down, ask yourself: Is this 100% true? Where did I learn this? What evidence do I have that contradicts this? (Remember that not because you have evidence, you should label yourself as) What would I be like if my belief was completely the opposite?   Challenge your assumptions like your life depends on it, because honestly, it does.   Research on cognitive behavioural therapy  shows that revising beliefs is the key change mechanism in one of the most effective psychological treatments available. Step 3: Create your new truth You can’t just remove a belief, you need to replace it with something better. For every limiting belief, write a new empowering one that’s believable to you right now. Not some random affirmation you don’t buy, but something that feels like a truthful stretch. Old belief: “I always fail at everything I try.” New Belief: “I learn from every experience and improve over time.” Step 4: build evidence for your new belief Your brain needs proof. Start small and collect evidence that supports your new belief. Keep a “wins journal” where you document every tiny success, every moment that contradicts your old limiting belief. Your brain will start to notice patterns and rewire accordingly. Step 5: Practice, practice, practice Here’s the truth nobody wants to hear: This isn’t a one-and-done thing, a magic pill. Changing deeply held beliefs requires repetition. Every single day, you need to consciously choose and listen to the thoughts that align with your new beliefs, not the old ones (those will be wondering around). It might feel fake at first, that’s normal. With consistent practice, these new neural pathways will strengthen and eventually become your new default.   The power of self-compassion in this journey This journey is not linear at all (I think no journeys are). You’re going to mess up. You’re going to catch yourself falling back into old thought patterns. You’ll have days where you believe all the limiting garbage again. That’s not failure, that’s being human. We’re undergoing years, maybe decades, of conditioning here. Be patient with yourself. Self-compassion is to treat yourself with the same kindness you’d show a good friend who’s struggling. It’s recognizing that you’re worthy of growth and change, even when, especially when you stumble. We all deal with limiting beliefs. Even that successful person you admire. Personally, it has required me to question everything I thought I knew about myself, to be willing to be wrong about the stories I’d been telling myself for decades, stepping into uncertainty and doing things that scare me. It's this or choose to be stuck. Stuck with a slow, soul-crushing kind of pain that builds over the years.   Your invitation to break free So here’s my challenge to you, pick one limiting belief that’s been holding you back. Just one. Write it down. Question it. Replace it with something better. Start collecting evidence that contradicts it. Practice your new belief every single day for the next 30 days. If you do this consistently, your brain will start to change. Your life will start to shift. Opportunities you couldn’t see before will suddenly appear. Not because the world changed, but because you did.   The life you want is on the other side of the beliefs that are keeping you stuck. The only question is: Are you willing to do what it takes to get there?   Your limiting beliefs don’t get to write the ending to your story. You do.   Follow me on Facebook , LinkedIn , and visit my website for more info!

From the team behind the multi-award-winning EMR Sensitivity Ltd, featured through articles and press coverage in Brainz Magazine, the Areca Plus Card™ introduces a frequency-based wellbeing approach designed to support resilience in today's increasingly connected world. As modern life becomes ever more shaped by screens, wireless connectivity, and constant digital stimulation, a growing number of adults, children, and even pets report symptoms such as fatigue, brain fog, headaches, muscular tension, widespread aches and pains, reduced concentration, sleep disruption, and heightened nervous system sensitivity. While these symptoms can have many contributing factors, current research and clinical observation increasingly point to chronic environmental load – including electromagnetic exposure – as a potential contributor to nervous system overload for some individuals. Supporting nervous system resilience and reducing unnecessary environmental stress are now widely recognised as important priorities in modern wellbeing. Context and medical awareness As awareness grows, several medical voices have called for greater public education on environmental health factors. As French oncologist Professor Dominique Belpomme has stated: "We have long since moved beyond the stage of doubt. It has therefore become essential to inform the public. This is the duty of all physicians." This perspective reflects a broader shift toward acknowledging and openly discussing the impact of modern environmental stressors on human health. A shift in language and awareness This evolving understanding is also being reflected in language. In early 2025, the OneName Project proposed the term electromagnetic radiation (EMR) syndrome to describe a growing cluster of symptoms linked to chronic digital and electromagnetic exposure – signalling a broader effort to bring clarity, recognition, and constructive dialogue to what is often referred to as the "disease of the digital age". A frequency-based approach to modern environmental stress In response to this shifting landscape, the Areca Plus Card™ has been developed as a frequency-based wellbeing support, designed to promote coherence, balance, and adaptability within the modern electromagnetic environment. The technology is positioned not as a means of avoiding technology, but as a complementary tool that supports the body's capacity to regulate and respond more effectively within it. A technology shaped by lived experience The origins of the Areca Plus Card™ are rooted not in theory alone, but in lived clinical and personal experience. In the early 2000s, naturopathic health practitioner Jean-Marc Degioanni, founder of Infinity Alignment Therapy, began experiencing profound physical and neurological distress – symptoms later recognised as severe electromagnetic sensitivity. This period coincided with the rapid global expansion of mobile phones and wireless technologies, introducing unprecedented levels of stimulation into daily life. As an experienced energy therapist and long-standing meditation practitioner, Jean-Marc regularly worked with meditative and regulatory practices. During this time, his meditative work deepened significantly, allowing new insights to emerge around adaptation, coherence, and the body's response to an increasingly complex electromagnetic environment. From this work emerged an early EMR-neutralising card known as Open to Receive, which was developed, produced, and used in practice. As understanding evolved and the technology was refined, this original card became the foundation for what is now known as the Areca Plus Card™. From concept to Areca Plus Card™ Over time, the technology evolved into its current form. The Areca Plus Card™ incorporates symbolic and functional design elements – including a heart motif and a gold-toned grid – that reflect principles of coherence, integration, and balance. Rather than relying solely on physical shielding, the Areca Plus Card™ is positioned as a non-invasive, frequency-based wellbeing tool informed by principles explored in coherence theory, biofield research, and nervous system regulation. As awareness grew, the technology attracted interest beyond the wellbeing sector, including early engagement from international telecommunications organisations (names undisclosed). Designed for modern life The Areca Plus Card™ now sits within a broader ecosystem of supportive tools, including the Areca Plus Necklace™, Kayra Infinity Bracelet™, and Pet Shield+, developed to support people and companion animals living in highly connected environments. The Areca Plus Card™ is independently certified to meet European safety standards for materials suitable for children of all ages, reflecting the company's commitment to safety, responsibility, and long-term wellbeing. An upcoming innovation will also see the technology integrated into a plush comfort-support toy designed specifically for infants and young children, helping establish healthier habits from early life onward. The Areca Plus Card™ is positioned as a complementary wellbeing support, not a medical device, and is intended to work alongside informed lifestyle choices and professional guidance. "This isn't about fear – it's about empowerment," says Jean-Marc Degioanni. "We can't remove technology from modern life, but we can support the body's ability to adapt. Areca Plus was designed to help people feel calmer, more grounded, and more resilient in an increasingly connected world." As digital exposure becomes unavoidable, clear language helps shift the conversation from dismissal to awareness – and from confusion to informed action.
