“I am here to accumulate as many experiences as possible”.

May this genuine conversation inspire you and lead you closer to who you are. 

Thank you @kriticos

Today it's all about the power of unlearning so we can continue the journey of who we are.

Often times the things that we need to learn can be found in the unlearning.

How many times do you call yourself out on your own boolshit?

Are you ready to forgive yourself so you can unlearn toxic patterns?

I AM unlearning, are you?

Being in the state of confliction and gratitude she uses her life events to speak up and express herself.

She said and I quote:

“I want to navigate through life, using the things that I’ve gone through and what I have experienced”.

How powerful is that!

Thank you @saffirarieskin for sharing your story.

Buckle up and prepare yourself for more “ I AM” magic.

Everything that comes after I AM will come looking for you!

Be conscious and intentional

Are you ready?

A woman of faith.

A woman who believes in the power of love.

A woman with true genuine energy all over her.

During this episode, Eva Rillen reflects on her week and how being speechless has led her to the message of today.

She explains where her faith comes from, the importance of love being a verb and how she takes care of her energy.

It’s an easy one

Enjoy!

Still willing to listen check one of my previous episodes.

love

Everything that comes after I AM will come looking for you!

Be conscious and intentional

Are you ready?

Eva Rillen, highlights the phrase: can't blame me for being human. 

She explains that it's not an excuse. It's an invitation to give yourself permission to feel all if your feelings and look at yourself and the world around you without judgment. Something we will always be is human and it's time to embrace and allow ourselves to be.

Today’s affirmation: I AM.

Believe it or not

Everything that comes after I AM will come looking for you!

Be conscious and intentional

Are you ready?

This is a different phase in the journey of SELLF and with this episode Eva Rillen shares and creates a much needed awareness of the two words that can shape us, mold us or even “kill” us: I AM 

How aware are we of the language that we speak? Are we able to divide and see the difference in our loving thoughts and fearful thoughts of who we are? 

Another food for thought message with journal prompts to kickstart the journey of who you are.

Everything that comes after I AM will come looking for you!

Be conscious and intentional

Are you ready?

It’s a fact that what she has right now and who is comes from a place of being intentional. 

This is an invite to get in alignment with your intentions.

Don’t worry. 

Eva Rillen shares her ins and out on how to get there.

Today’s affirmation: I am the process

Believe it or not

Everything that comes after I AM will come looking for you!

Be conscious and intentional

Are you ready?

In her absence of podcasting, she struggled with the phrase: trust the process. 

So she decided to dig a little deeper to really understand the meaning of trusting the process. 

Want to know what it really means to trust the process, then this is the episode for you.

Sit back and listen.

I AM THE PROCESS.

So what is it really like to be a man? 

What makes you a man? 

Is there a lot of pressure on men? 

Do men share their real emotions? 

What is the bro code?

Eva Rillen, the host of the podcast had the opportunity to ask these questions to get a little bit more insights on manhood.

One thing she really got out of the conversation is: respect the bro code!!

Thank you Denilson and Rajendro for sharing your perspective on manhood.

Very much appreciated

Is it easy? Are you born with authenticity?

The answer is no — practicing authenticity is choosing to be real over being liked.

It’s waking up everyday and believing that who you are is enough and setting the intention to let your true selves be seen and heard.

Question of today.

Are you practicing authenticity?

Much love,

Eva Rillen

Today on the podcast we have Rajendro Halman and Jayson Halman sharing their story about how they “keep” each other as being brothers.

It’s more than just being brothers, it is a friendship they both cherish. Seeing each other as equals and doing all they can to support and uplift one another. They even finish each other sentences!

Looking forward to the magic they’re both going to create, individually and together.

This is just the beginning.

Thank you

That was the first question she asked herself after the breakup.

She found herself going back and forth with emotions, trying to figure out what got her where she is right now — SINGLE.

Was it a rollercoaster of a ride — YES.

We're their lessons to be learned — YES

Was it uncomfortable — YES?

Did it contribute to the process of SELLF — YES

Hope you’re ready for my story.

The story of how I found love in the midst of my singleness

@EVARILLEN.

Who she is right now is not where it all started. Her journey started when she asked herself the question: 

Who am I authentically becoming?

How can I make myself happy?

During this conversation where she shares her journey with us, she touches upon various topics that are still a taboo in this day and age.

Sexuality

Sensuality

Self pleasure 

Intimacy and self discovery.

What matters to her the most is being happy and finding freedom within herself. 

It’s all about the visualization of self.

Today she is that and more.

A very warm and heartfelt conversation about her journey of stepping back into singleness as a mother.

She highlights the lovely moments but also the hurtful moments and all the confrontations that comes with being single.

“It has been a rollercoaster of a ride but now I know — it’s no longer “ whatever it is that you like”. I know what I like, love and enjoy by myself and how one can add unto that.

All of that I found through getting to know me, trying new things and unlearning other things.

I am single yes but I am also Jessica aka lovedeluxx. I have a lot of love to give, the special kind of love.”

The only thing that I can add to this is listen carefully and take notes. 

Thank you @lovedeluxx

May this episode

As we all know becoming and healing is not a linear process and doing so during a pandemic is even more drastic. 

Well at least it was drastic for me and sometimes it feels like the word “drastic” cant begin to explain what kind of impact 2020 had on me.

Yet here we are today.

Here I am today and with all that has happened during 2020, I can confidently say that I AM ENOUGH.

In today’s episode I express my gratitude with words and reasons that helped me to stand firm and SAY: I AM ENOUGH.

May it inspire you

May it motivate you

May it empower you

LOVE.

During this I AM conversation, he shares his insights on what it is to be a father.

To him it’s like a being sports coach.

Different seasons

Wins and losses

Trials and tribulations 

Strategic thinking.

He has a game-plan with a steady set of rules for his kids — two biologically his and two that are not biologically his.

This I AM is everything and more.

Make sure to listen to the whole conversation to understand his steady set of rules and a PLOT TWIST!

In this episode Eva Rillen shares her knowledge about reflection and how it has shaped her so far. Reflection made her realize that she feels the most liberated,strong and beautiful when she is bald. She now understands herself better and urges everyone to start reflecting.

With reflection you can hold yourself accountable and understand who you are.

It’s not always someone else, sometimes it’s you.

Are you willing to look beneath the surface?

When asked complete the following sentence, IAM — Alnaika replied with a strong IAM PRESENT.
