About this episode

Have you ever found yourself questioning your current path and wondering if it truly aligns with your purpose? 

Are you looking for the signs that will lead you discovering your true self and finding genuine love?

Then this podcast episode is for you. 

I am going to share with you a transformational and life-changing conversation I had with Violetta Benson. Violetta, also known as Daddy Issues, gained popularity for her humorous memes, witty captions, and comedic videos that often revolve around dating, relationships, and everyday life experiences. 

With mindful awareness, we uncover the three negative habits that hinder our personal growth and learn how to replace them with empowering practices. We also dive into the multifaceted nature of love and its diverse expressions throughout our lives.

While fear holds us back from forming deep connections, there is power in being alone, and using solitude as an opportunity for self-discovery and embracing your true self. Embark on an exploration of love's different stages - finding it, letting go, and nurturing its flame.  

From this episode, you will learn:

- The importance of adapting to changes

- How to avoid projecting our limitations to others

- How to spot the negative habits that blocks personal growth

- How to make wise and well-thought of decisions

- The diversity of love and its many forms

- How to create deeper and more meaningful connections

It's time to cultivate the relationships and personal growth you deserve. 

With Love and Gratitude,

Jay Shetty
