So many of us have heard the saying, “Stop wasting your time.” It could come from a friend, family member, significant other, even a voice in our head. Yet, in this day & age where people are making money playing video games, vlogging, dancing, amongst many other things. Is anything a waste of time or […]
Welcome to 2021, seems a lot like 2020 right? COVID-19 is still around some, of us are still unemployed, filled with anxiety, stress, while others are creating content, building businesses and making ends meet. Two sides of the same coin if you ask. That said, this post is for both sides starting with the anxious, […]
I have gone back and forth with creating an inspiring holiday post to encourage each of you to embrace all the festivities. Particularly in terms of nutrition, as I know many people struggle with moderation or indulging at all. All of which comes from fear of regressing or not being in control. The worst one […]
Depending on your dietary choices or lifestyle, you will hear that certain foods are superfoods and others aren’t. They have mysterious powers that allow them to cure diseases and ailments much more effectively than any other food. Yet, after a few months sometimes weeks, these foods are not super anymore another one is that you […]
Finding ones inner peace during turbulent times is said to be an easy task for people who are enlightened or living in the now. Easy because not only can they see the lesson underlying the turbulence in their life, but also know that it is apart of the positive and negative feedback loops we experience. […]
In my years of training and now coaching one thing hasn’t changed it’s peoples dislike of cardiovascular training because of the all the trivial information surrounding the subject. Some say it makes gaining muscle harder, while others swear by doing High-intensity interval training (HIIT) amongst other combinations. However, the truth is that cardio is essential […]
Over the past few weeks, a lot of new research talks about calories and macronutrients tracking. A notion I have a love-hate relationship with even though it works wonders when done right. Yet it can be harmful when done wrong. Therefore, right off the bat as a nutritionist and trainer, I say tracking overall caloric […]
I know this post was supposed to come a few weeks ago, but the launch of the Fend For Your Health podcast took a lot more time. However, that’s no excuse, let’s get right into the final post of the series. Throughout the series, each post focused on defining label culture through in-group out-group bias. […]
Building upon the knowledge from the last post, stereotyping contributes to in-group-out-group bias. A notion we have normalized so much these days that we are blind to how harmful it is. We intentionally mistreat out-groups because it gives us a sense of pleasure or a perceived one. A notion labelled schadenfreude; “pleasure derived by someone […]
In today’s world, society is at each other’s throats for literally any reason they want. Some people claim this is how humans survive by creating in-groups and out-groups. However, I think that is an excuse for people to make themselves feel better or briefly fill some void. The next few blog posts will be a […]
It is sad to say that we live our daily lives on autopilot, but that’s the truth. We follow the same routine day after day entangled with our goals, dreams and complaints. Sometimes slight deviations occur and throw us off, yet the next morning comes bringing us back on schedule. So how do we move […]
For years I’ve read self-help books, exercised heavily, meditated daily and even attended some weekend-long forums to learn how to be the best version of myself. It has been an enlightening journey, to say the least, but also riddled with a lot of experimentation. After going through all that here are some tips for you […]
The world is at a reset, and this is a good time for us to join in on this shift. As the greener flourishes, air purifies, and animals start coming back we are being shown that the old path is over. Many of you may see this as a terrible time, no partying, social interaction, […]
This post will be a tough pill to swallow for some, and others an eye-opener, nevertheless, it’s time we all make a change. How many times a day do you find yourself upset, stressed, and anxious? I bet for many of you, this happens every day, no matter what and no it’s not because your […]
The twenty’s marks the start of a new decade, and everyone is raving about it. Similar to how they rave about every new year with the age-old saying “New Year New Me.” Furthermore, setting out with goals of being healthier, spreading positive vibes, changing jobs the whole nine yards. I stray away from those cliches […]
When we first start, It is easy to be a one-person show you control deadlines, client on-boarding, and all the other business aspects. A euphoric feeling of drive, achievement, and power, a reminder of how far you’ve come. From being unemployed, working a dead-end job or general unhappiness to doing something that brings out your […]
Last week we spoke about the ability to stay positive and steer clear of social competition. This post will expand on these notions further because they are crucial to turning our lives around for the better. Business In our business life, there are always new goals and challenges that arise every day. With each new […]
I want to tell you about a skill I’ve been trying to master, one that can change the outcome of any situation in a matter of minutes. Once you are open to it, that is. The ability to produce positive thoughts, and experience the world through your lens, rather than everyone else’s. Simply put, living […]
In business and life, we come face to face with short and long term choices. Pleasure at the moment or later in life, seldom do we get both. At least that’s how the saying goes; nothing comes without sacrifice. However, the real question is what are we sacrificing, approval, growth, social life, friends, family or […]
Recently I completed the plant-based nutrition certification to gain the knowledge I need to help others live a healthier life. My friends and family immediately asked me. How will I be able to manage this as well as the digital marketing firm? The response, I am passionate about them both, therefore I will make it […]
We make daily, weekly, and monthly goals to help us move forward, toward something grander. Most of the time this is something we could not complete in a short period, or at all, without proper planning. Other times it is something simple, but motivation is very low. The simple ones are broken down into smaller […]
I have heard a lot of people talking about their highs and lows lately. They mention that when their work-life is going well other parts of their life is not. A notion I struggled with a lot a few years back and even presently sometimes. Why This high and low occurs when we invest too […]
There is good in everything we do, even when we do not think so. Story The other day I made a transaction mistake and needed to receive a refund. A small error, easily fixed by a few clicks on a trackpad. However, it is not that simple in The Bahamas. The banking system here runs […]
There are days when nothing goes our way, no more coffee in the house, phone screen cracks, and the world seems to be out to get us. Instead of taking a moment to sit with this, we decide to carry on with the day and point this energy at everyone like a gun. Perhaps this […]

In Today’s society, there is a generational gap that has produced tension between the generations. I am eager to change this narrative. The older generation lived in an era where you needed a degree, specific trade, office or another qualification to work a nine to five job. This has been the dominating niche for a […]
Recap Last week I wrote about living factually and the benefits of this practice. A key factor was the ability to be present in the current moment, instead of physically being there and mentally caught in a story. Presence Sometimes it is hard to be present around friends and family. Especially when alcohol is involved […]
There are many approaches to living factually, because everyone has an outlook on the term. I was taught that living factually means to be present as much as possible by catching yourself in the stories that have been created. Hence, the last post was an introduction to this lifestyle. Breaking it Down In my last […]
Today’s post ignites a new era for the blog. Entrepreneurship is much more than business, it is a lifestyle that encompasses all that one does. At the forefront of this is self-care which involves the interior and exterior body. The interior being governed by the mind. A muscle that rarely gets stretched. That said, I […]
There is just something about doing meaningful work that gets me through the day. Meaningful work is anything that we give a purpose. I know that seems simple, yet I guarantee many have yet to find this purpose. The Common Problem Each of us has a repertoire of ideas that will make a difference in […]
