Hey my Wreckage Clearers! We got to see loss, pain, trauma, as an opportunity to grow. I had to become intentional with my life after my marriage. That old building had to be demolished and rebuild. Just in the same way, I had to be demolished so that I can rebuild. I wanted to become someone that I didn't even know existed. that old me could not comeback, it was time to become stronger than I ever was before. Do you want to grow? Even after all you have been through, do you still want to grow?

Hey my Wreckage Clearers!! It is important for you to feel all the feelings so that you can heal. you can only find the wreckage by taking time to look inside and that means feeling how we feel in order to clear the wreckage. We must not become the trash or the damage or the garbage that we feel. We are still good and that will never change. It will always remain a fact that you are inherently good regardless if you feel bad, for you are not bad. That is just how you feel.

Hey my Wreckage Clearers! I'm back and today I want you to hone in on this episode because this is something I learned that I had to hold on to for dear life. That is, I am always with me. I am in relationship with me. first and foremost and always will be, no matter where I go, who I am with, I will be the common denominator. I might not have been married anymore but I sure was married to myself whether I wanted to be or not. that is how it is for all of us. We are stuck with ourselves, so we better learn to love ourselves and give ourselves what we need. We must learn to respond instead of react. Take responsibility for our own wounds that need to be healed and do the necessary for them to be healed.

Hey my Wreckage Clearers! After my divorce in 2019 I had a gripping overwhelming feeling of loneliness. I mean I was and I didn't have any to come home to anymore. If you have experienced loss or a break up or heart break or even divorce than you know that feeling or you maybe can empathize with me a little bit. I was reassured by the fact that we are never alone. I may feel lonely but I know for a fact that I have community and support around me. Are you willing to reach out? Are you ready to thrive? Did you know that you were already designed for community, for connection so that you can thrive or in other words, "Be fruitful and multiply!"

Hey my Wreckage Clearers! This is probably going to bruise your ego and may even hurt your feelings and may even cause you to judge me. That's all ego by the way big head. Go ahead, I get it. I am hurt and offended and sensitive also!! hahaha!! This is the main root cause why I would have any trouble accepting myself, accepting others, and reality. My ego. Me, me, me, I, I, I, until we realize that the me and the I is a whole of the we which makes one than we have took the time to look inside so that the wreckage can begin to clear. With that, we will then learn that it may just be an illusion after all, this whole separate business!!

Hey My Wreckage Clearers! We can only practice acceptance in the present. Our reality only happens in the now. Everything else is false. The past and the future. Not that the past didn't happen, it did, but it's no longer present. The future is completely fictional. Because we have no idea what will happen. When we embrace the what is that is when we can accept our reality.

  Hey My Wreckage Clearers!! This is one of those life changing episodes! It is time to accept others and stop judging and placing them into categories. I am no different than you and you are no different than me is the attitude that I have learned to take on which has helped me clear the wreckage and accept others. When you are able to see yourself in others than it is a lot easier to accept them as they are. The key is accepting ourselves first and then of course recognizing yourself in others. We are one so let's clear the wreckage together.

Hey my Wreckage Clearers! I was told this several times and I didn't get it until I faced the fact that they were right. I did not love myself. Do you love yourself? our natural response is to say, Yes to that question immediately. But do we really love ourselves? I share with you authentically as always how I come to that realization that I don't love myself and of course the process and the work that it involves. How we began to clear the wreckage and start loving ourselves.

Hey my Wreckage Clearers! Today we discuss how after I came to life it was about me bringing life to everyone. realizing that I belong and we belong together. I no longer viewed myself as separate from anyone. I knew that I am interconnected to all beings. Which fostered a deeper empathy and compassion for myself and well really myself because there is no such thing as other. We are all but mere reflections. How Can I help? How can I serve? How can I love? Questions I began to ask myself. Are you asking how can I serve or how can I benefit?

I share with you how it is important to be silent and sit in stillness for a little while. I also share with you some tools that I used back then to help me meditate. I just needed to learn how to sit still and be with God and be with myself. Be in my thoughts and be. We are just that..human beings. Very short episode and quick discussion today I hope it resonates with you.

Hey my Wreckage Clearers! Yep it was that time in my journey where I needed to improve my connection to and with God. My wifi signal needed to go from poor to excellent. I had a different viewpoint of God and even what prayer was all about back then. I thought prayer was just asking for what I need all the time. I found out though that prayer was a way for me to communicate and grow an intimate connection with God. Inviting god in to my life. Walking with God. I invite you in as I share with you how that looked at that time in my journey of clearing the wreckage.

Hey my Wreckage Clearers! I must continue to look inside and promptly admit when wrong. The only way for me to know that I have done wrong or that I may be a little off or not on the right track is by looking inside. I must look at myself first. Take stock if you will, and taker an inventory. What's there ? What is missing? What do I need? How can I improve? Where did I go wrong? But also I must see the good as well. Like a business does inventory, the same applies with me. What am I doing that is good? This is an everyday thing and it must continue daily in order for me to become the best version of myself. in order to grow I must look at the areas of growth and the areas of where I may need to improve. Are you ready to continue this journey? This is what clearing the wreckage is all about.

Hey my Wreckage Clearers! Now it was and is time to begin setting things right with others. By this point in my journey I had become fully aware of the harm I caused others so I made a list of those people I harmed and I set out to make things right. We must become aware of the harm we are causing others first. That's why it is imperative to set things right with yourself first. Are you still walking around being a child? Are you demonstrating child-like behaviors? Such as not apologizing when you have harmed someone? It is time to grow up. We all know right from wrong, so let's do right by others. Our actions affect every one around us. Once I realized that, things begin to change. The wreckage begin clearing.

Hey my wreckage clearers! In this episode I discuss with you the process of how it was for me to set things right with myself first. I share with you exactly how it looked and what took place inside of me. I was given a set of new eyes as I was now able to see myself correctly. What I mean is, the way that God sees me, through the eyes of love and grace. then I was able to grab that love and grace and wrapped myself up in it and forgive myself and move forward with those new eyes. No longer looking at myself as Mr. Can't get right, or a failure, or unworthy but rather seeing myself as worthy, as good enough. So how do you see yourself?

Hey my Wreckage Clearers! I had to grow up and it was past time and it was happening. I truly began to grow and clear the wreckage once I saw with the right eyes the wreckage I have caused. The harm I had done to myself and the harm I had done to others or caused others. It was right in front of me so now what was I gonna do? Well when you are faced with the truth, you can either deny and play hide and seek or you can grow up and take the necessary steps to began clearing the wreckage. My friends it is very difficult for you not to change to not be transformed when you are facing the truth. Unless you just want to stay the way you are. However, the truth is, the human experience is about growth. If you ask me if you not growing, you dying. you are harming yourself and every one around you with the smell of death. Don't you want to live?

Hey Wreckage Clearers! I was at that point where I experienced grace and humility. These two things are required to get to it. Not required to go through it but if you gonna get to it, these two things must coexist. As they do actually coexist with one another perfectly. You'll see in our discussion today how I needed both and how we need both in order to get to it. We must and I mean it is a must that we go through it first. Not around it, not away from it, not hide from it, but go through it. Whatever that means for you and your life. For me it meant going through being homeless, going through another relapse and going through the steps of recovery and getting help. The help in turn taught me how to clear the wreckage. Let's continue to clear the wreckage together! By taking the time to look inside so that the wreckage can begin to clear!

Hey Wreckage Clearers! Now was the time in my journey where I had to humbly ask that power greater than me to remove my defects of character. I realized this one foundational truth: That I can not do it on my own. Walk with me as I share my experience with you, how it was and what it was like and also what it is like now. Remember we are on this journey together. And as much as it takes me some humility to say, I need help and I need for God to do for me what I cannot do for myself. I also need the help of others. I was built for connection and community. Let's us continue to clear the wreckage together. Get ready to laugh a lot on this episode because you'll be amazed at some of the stories I share with you

Hey Wreckage Clearers! It was time for me to fully own up to my crap. All of it. No more beating around the bush. No more denial. No more blame game. No more. This is one of the most vital steps in the process of clearing the wreckage. It gave me so much peace and still to this day it facilitates a sense of peace and produces humility and ultimately forgiveness. That forgiveness from God and others and most of all the forgiveness of self and from self.  Also produces growth, because knowing that no one else is responsible for my thoughts and actions was a game changer and still changes me from the inside out today. Join me as we begin clearing this wreckage together as one.

In turn though, it was me. I was the one that was dying. Do you want to live? Do you want to be free? I'm sure you do. So let's clear the wreckage together as one and get rid of resentments.

Hey wreckage clearers! It is still imperative that we become open minded and the only way to become open minded is by first realizing that we are closed minded. I share a story with you of my closed mind and how I began to clear the wreckage in order to open my mind up a little bit at a time. Remember this is our journey together as one, as we learn to practice ways to become more open minded together. So listen up as there is lots to say about this topic. My mind used to be closed but it is much more open these days and I thought I would share my experience with you.

Hey Wreckage Clearers today we discuss being open minded and how this is key to personal growth and development and even recovery. I will use the analogy of the baby a lot in this conversation because that is how I thought and how I was. I was just like a baby. Truthfully most of us are still acting like babies and it is time to clear the wreckage and grow. With that, I share with you how I am growing and how my mind became open to see further and how it broadened my horizons. Which I hope that through our conversation you can learn from the experience I share with you.

Hey Wreckage Clearers! We need to talk about our motives. Why we do what we do? it is time to practice rigorous honesty with ourselves and part of doing that is asking ourselves questions. Such as, Why we do what we do? Why are we about to do this or that? Why am I in a relationship with this person? Why am I the way I am? Why am I working this job? Why do I do the same thing over and over again? Why am I doing this? Why am I saying yes or why did I say yes? Why? Why? That is the question we need to ask ourselves. In clearing the wreckage, part of it is learning to stop and ask ourselves the tough questions. We must take the time to look inside so that the wreckage can begin to clear.

Hey Wreckage Clearers. Yes we are back with part 3 of practicing being present. I am emphasizing it because it helps me to clear the wreckage and brings about a sense of awe and wonder which produces in me more of an appreciation for life and reduces stress and anxiety and brings me into connection with God, myself and others. This practice helps me to realize the vastness that is around me. deflates my ego a little bit and gets my focus off of me. Let's clear the wreckage together.

Hey Wreckage Clearers! Today we discuss the concept of One day at a time and how it helped me to clear the wreckage. The wreckage was mainly in my mind how I was focused on the past and the future. In thinking of how I screwed up and how I was going to screw up. Do you get caught up in thinking about how you messed up in the past? And because of that, you just may think that you are liable to mess up in the near future? I have been there and that's why one day at a time has helped me so much till this day clear the wreckage.

And yes, desperation is a gift because it produces hope, an open mind and willingness to change and to become the best version of ourselves.

Hey What's up Wreckage Clearers? In this episode we discuss what it means to acknowledge and admit. What it looked like for me at a certain point in meh life as I continue to share my story with you. I'm hoping that this episode gives us all some strength and hope that with acknowledging and admitting we are creating an opening into our minds and into our hearts where we can now go in and see what needs to be cleared. At was at that point, I stood at the entry way of my mind and my heart, granting myself permission to enter. What is it that you need to acknowledge and admit? What is it that has you at the place you are in? Do you feel stuck? Is it fear? Is it comfort? For me it was both of those. Let's clear the wreckage together by taking the time to look inside.

Hey my wreckage Clearers! Last week we discussed the four A's which brings us to this episode of diving a little deeper on the first A which is Awareness. How many of us go throughout our day without even noticing our breath? How many of us are constantly on the go? In order to become aware you must have a moment of stillness. For me, I had to have that moment of silence or stillness in order to become aware. That's what I decided to share with you today. We are still sharing the story of how I became a butterfly and this was definitely a vital part of the journey.

Hey my Wreckage Clearers! We discuss today how I began the process of letting go of and how I was able to allow God to then direct my life. It may sound simple but it is not easy to do. Especially for someone like me who was at that time very stubborn and was living in the illusion that I had total control. Today I give you 4 A's. Awareness, Acknowledgement, Admittance, and Acceptance. For me, this was part of the process of letting go and how it helped me clear that wreckage of believing that the only way I could control things was by escaping. As always, I keep it 100 with you and divulge into my life and my story and I believe and know that you can identify with me. I also know that we are here to walk together and clear the wreckage together as one. love you.

Hey my Wreckage Clearers! Are you at the point in your life where you seem to be stuck? Are you afraid of change? Are you afraid that you may lose your very self or the self that you have known or been familiar with all your life? Well I definitely have been. I share with you today how I was primed to become a butterfly from birth as a caterpillar. I just did not know it. Also when the process was taking place, I did not know what was happening. Have you felt lost? I'm sure you have just like me. I'm here to share with you that maybe during that time in your life means that you are getting ready to form into a beautiful butterfly. Do not fight it just trust the process. Just as the caterpillar does.

 Hey my Wreckage Clearers! In this episode we discuss the hard stuff but we must because depression is real and some of us have it and are going through it right now as we speak. You are not alone because I have depression and I share with you how I was going through it at that time in my life. I also share with you what those symptoms are and how during that time of my life I was definitely feeling just about all of those symptoms. There is hope and help for us though if we are willing to seek it. I know it is tough and it is really hard to get out of bed or even move or even want to talk to anyone because we may feel as if others do not understand. I totally get it and that's why I decided to share this part of my journey with you so that you can be reassured that you are not alone and it is ok to not be ok. What I have found though is that therapy really helped me and exercising or going for a walk or even journaling were ways that I was trying my beat to clear the wreckage. Let's cry together and let's walk together and let's also laugh together.

  What up my wreckage clearers. On this episode we get down and dirty and raw. Unfiltered truth and reality as always. We are going to talk about the victim mentality and how it holds us back from growth and personal development. How it can keep us stuck. Repeating the same cycles and same default behavior. Why? Because for the most part it is something we created ourselves so that we would not have to take responsibility for our own actions. We can tend to believe that we really are the victim. Truth is, we are not victims. Our problems maybe but of our own making. Or life just happens and trauma and suffering may come, but will we choose to grow from it or stay a victim of it. Your choice!! I choose to be the victor!!

 Hey my Wreckage Clearers! in this episode we discuss how comfort keeps up stuck. It keeps us bound to the same level of life. The same routine. The same behaviors. The familiar. The known. We all have vices and or something we escape toward to bring us comfort. It could be food, sex, drugs, alcohol, or it could be our default behaviors. Such as yelling, screaming, shutting down when we are triggered. These certain behaviors give us a sense of comfort. But what if we became too comfortable? Even in darkness our eyes can adjust. Are we becoming to comfortable in the darkness? Well I explain to you how in the uncomfortable is how I was finally able to see light and look within and began to clear the wreckage. In that darkness and in that discomfort somehow It became familiar and I became comfortable with the darkness. It wasn't until it all became really uncomfortable, that there was a chance for change and a glimmer of hope. Maybe it is time for us to realize that the discomfort is there to help us evolve and grow and produce wings and turn into a butterfly.

 Hey My Wreckage Clearers! In this episode we discuss how darkness has now fully enclosed around me. I am now in my cocoon and I am afraid of the dark. I don't know why this is happening. I don't understand and because I don't understand, I must escape. However, you cannot escape the darkness. Every where I turned it was more darkness, there was no light. You cannot escape this type of darkness, by trying to escape it all I did was prolong the stages of darkness. I also share with you how because of the pain and the hurt I was feeling it was too much to take. Have you ever felt that way? Where you just cannot take the pain or the feelings of heart break or hurt or even disappointment or abandonment or even death. You are so used to the familiar that this unknown is way too scary for you to experience. This is what I was going through at that time in my life. I encourage you to clear the wreckage and do not prolong the stages of darkness.

Hey my Wreckage Clearers!! It has been a journey hasn't it. Well, it's time to go into the dark places where you and I do not want to go. It is total darkness and we can't see and it feels like complete desolation and doom. However, the darkness has to invade so that there will be light. Eventually we must and we will if we allow the process to take place without interrupting, come to light. I am sharing this episode with you so that you know exactly what not to do. When the darkness is closing in, stay in it and trust the process. Know that there is a good reason for everything to be dark around you. It has become dark so that light will invade your heart. The problem is, we just don't know when. Instead, we disrupt the growth process and take matters into our own hands. I openly disclose what happened during that time in my life, in hope that you will not repeat the same cycle. Hoping you will learn from my mistakes in this one. However, later on down the line, you may come to know that the darkness was necessary, right now it may be a little hard to see. Well yeah!! Cause it's dark!! Lol!

 Hey my wreckage clearers! Yes, we have anther great episode on our identity. Which could feel like there is a crisis going on when we cover ourselves with this constructed identity. I am here to share with you how from the very moment we were born, our identity is being constructed. The only issue is that it is being formed by others. However, the beauty in this is that it is needed to be formed by others. Simply because there is no way that when you are born that you know who you are, neither do you even know anything at all. You have to be taught things. These things that we are taught help us to create what I like to call "ego structure." Stay with me on this journey as we clear the wreckage in order to grow and evolve into our true identity, our true self.

Hey My wreckage clearers! In this episode we discuss and dive a little deeper into the my old identity. We talk more about the pain and the pursuit of perfection. I also share with you more details of how I was really feeling at that time when I was grieving myself. I truly was dying and it was meant for me to die. Not a physical death but a mental and emotional death so that I can become spirit. Which is who we truly are but some of us just don't know it yet and we may have to go through some darkness and some pain in order to be reborn. This is the story that you don't want to miss.

  What's up my peeps? In this episode I share with you the process of grief. However, what you may come to find out is that I was truthfully grieving my old identity. My old false self had to come to an end and with that, it is a process. My identity started forming, well in my formative years. Maybe that's why they call it that? I believe that to be true and I lived a life being who everyone else wanted me to be. Have you lived a life like this? Have you felt guilt or shame? Have you felt these emotions more often than not when you felt that you couldn't live up to the standards projected upon you? Do you live a fear based life? Do you walk around pleasing other people? Just as long as they're happy, then you are and you feel good about who you are. I wonder if you are like me? If so, then it is time to clear the wreckage so that we can began the process of death and we can grieve and then ultimately be reborn. Walk with me as I share with you why I had to let go and how you can as well.

  Hey my wreckage clearers! This episode was really hard to do and to be honest I was afraid to share it with you all. However, we must continue to clear the wreckage, therefore I acknowledged that I was in fear and afraid of what you may think of me. Then I admitted that to myself and decided to not allow fear to define my self worth. Yes, this episode is titled weirdly for a reason just trust me. We are going to talk about how I discovered that was completely codependent. I will share with you about the relationship I was in that was psychologically abusive on both parties involved. This is a story that I must share and I had to take you back a little in time for you to understand me just a little bit more. We get real, vulnerable, and downright honest in this episode. It is a rollercoaster full of ups and downs so get ready for this crazy, but yet exciting story as I discovered how codependent I really was.

  Hey World what up? Do you have a place you can go to in order to be renewed? Do you have a place you can go to for restoration? Do you have a place you can go to find some peace? Are you able to sit still in quietness? Well, it took me learning about replacement behaviors from my therapist's before I realized that I had a happy place that I could go to. Then I realized I have several happy spots where I can be for a refresher of the soul. Learning to sit still was also something my therapists guiding me in. the process of breathing, hmmm. So Interesting how that works. My challenge for you is to find a happy place and learn to sit still in quietness. It will help you clear the wreckage. Let's clear it together as we learn how having a happy place and sitting still in quietness will restore our souls and or minds. I don't know about you but I am here to clear the wreckage!!

It is time to clear the wreckage, as I share with you my wreckage and how at times in the past I allowed it to take over.

Hey World! In this episode I do a more deep look inside of the emotions that were suppressed for years. I also didn't realize I was carrying and exhibiting symptoms of PTSD. These symptoms had being occurring for years before I even was able to realize it. The only reason I was able to see it was because I took the time to look inside so that the wreckage can begin to clear. I open with you and share some traumatic experiences with you, that was so hard for me to do. I go a little more deeper in connecting with you in this episode. If you have PTSD or if you don't, I pray that this episode touches you in a way where you can take a look inside so that the wreckage can begin to clear.

 Hey World! In this episode I do a deep dive into where it all started. Yep, pretty early huh? That's right, just as a very young kid, the wreckage starts creeping in. I give you an inside look on what it was like being the youngest child of five and having them grow up and leave the house. The feeling of sadness and abandonment, how that all came into play at an early age. How we were taught as young men not to show emotions maybe kind of scarred us or like I say created some wreckage inside of us. How do we deal with that now? Let's talk about it and clear the wreckage together.

Hey World! In this episode I share with you my journey into therapy. How the notion and question came about asking or wondering if I may need to seek out therapy? How it all came about was because I was willing to become a better version of myself. I was on the path of choosing to no longer escape but instead deal and heal. Have you ever felt alone? Have you ever felt broken? Have you ever felt discouraged? Have you ever felt or have been depressed? Have you ever felt like no one really understands you? Have you ever felt abandoned? Have you ever had suicidal thoughts or a hatred for yourself? Well, I have felt all these feelings and I am here to comfort you and remind you that you are not alone. Also that you matter and you are worthy of love. Your relationship with yourself is the most important and it should be valued over anything else so that you can clear the wreckage and become your true self. You are worth it!!

Hey World! In this episode I share with you my daily and weekly routines. A bit of a system, I might add that I followed which helped me clear the wreckage. One of the things that I noticed about myself is that I had a lot of wreckage up in my noggin. You know, that big head of mine and how the way that I thought about myself was pretty, well not pretty at all, destructive. It was wreckage still all up in my head. So my routine helped me discover things about myself but also help me change. And when I say change, I mean, see it, acknowledge it, admit it. Yes indeed. You already know, especially if you been listening. Hopefully you will find something in this episode that will help you clear the wreckage as well.

Hey World!! In this episode I share with you how valuable a mentor was for me in clearing the wreckage in my life. Not only valuable in helping me stay clean and sober but in ways of helping me mature and grow. He was someone I could trust. Someone I admired and also he was someone who let me in. He was vulnerable with me and was his true authentic self every waking moment. He taught me by showing me his life. In a mentor you want these examples. Someone you can trust. someone who is real and vulnerable with you not someone who will just tell you what to do, oh no, that is not a mentor. Listen as I share how I received guidance without him having to tell me what to do but instead by him showing me. That's a mentor.

Hey World!! In this episode, I share with you the part of the my story where I was coming to that place of surrender. How I got there and what it took for me to surrender. The definition of surrender is to give up oneself, as into the power of another, as by agreeing to stop fighting because of defeat. Well, have you ever felt defeated? Have you felt like you were tired of being sick and tired? Have you ever felt like you were at the bottom and there is no where else to go except up? Well, you are not alone. I have felt all those feelings, and emotions. My life was a rollercoaster for sure. However, I was able to surrender to something greater than me because I saw that power at work in my friend. If it wasn't for him sharing his story with me and walking with me hand and hand, I would not have had any hope. See sometimes in order for us to see we are defeated and have no power is maybe to see the power demonstrated through someone else. Then we say that famous saying, "Well if they can do it, I can do it!"

Hey world! In this episode, I share with you the process of how I decided to seek help. I did not know what to do or who to ask but I knew after I admitted and took full responsibility that I needed help. I knew I was at the end of my rope and I was either going to let the rope hang me or let someone else untangle the knot that I had tied so tight around me. I was in bondage and I didn't even know it. I got to that tipping point and asked for help. I share with you that process and how it is important that we all seek help especially if we are at the bottom or down and out.

I share with you how I took full responsibility for my own crap. I also share with you how freeing that step was to take and how I finally saw a little glimpse of hope. I encourage us all to own up to our own crap after we see and acknowledge our wreckage the next step is to admit and take full responsibility.

Hey world! In this episode I share with you exactly what happened to spark me on the journey to recovery. I get real with you and open up about my addiction to alcohol and drugs. I also share with you how I am now a recovering alcoholic and addict. With that, I finally was able to see and acknowledge my own wreckage. After years and years of the people close to me calling me out on my wreckage and or fragments and broken pieces, I saw it from a new perspective. You'll be surprised as to what or who was the catalyst or the catalytic event that happened to get me to see my garbage.
