It had a starting point, so it can have an end point. It is not inherent to the human condition."This is an episode that you are going to want to grab a pen, take notes, and listen to the very end.Find Kike online at:Website: https://kojoinstitute.com/Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/company/kojoinstitute/Twitter: https://twitter.com/kojoinstituteInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/kojoinstitute/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/kojoinstitute

About the Podcast

The Empowered in My Skin Podcast
A podcast designed to help humans everywhere think in ways that is empowering.
This Podcast is all about helping humans think in ways that is empowering. Empowered humans, empower humans and our goal at Empowered in My Skin is to help develop one billion humans who are lead dominos for empowerment. Regardless of age, gender, ethnicity, etc., everyone deserves to be empowered in the skin that they are in.

Empowered humans are thriving humans. It is our birthright to thrive. When we own our thrive, we are operating from a position of empowerment, and celebrating life in the present moment without fear. It is human nature to feel uncertain, but why does it have to take us away from our thrive, our creativity, and throw us off balance? 

If we can recognize that being empowered is us choosing to accept all that is, then we have the ability to step into clarity and live in the present moment. Our "now" is all that we have and where our infinite empowered energy resides.
