70. Happy Girl, Happy World

Y’all, we are living through a wild, wild time. There are some times I want to go to the beach just to scream out into the atmosphere! The truth is, the only thing we have the ability to do is to take care of ourselves and the only thing we can control are our own actions.

Tune in and listen to episode seventy of Mamaste with Tanika Ray. Today, you’ll hear me flying solo and exploring the idea of trauma. I’m breaking down a lesson from Cory Muscara, an author and former Buddhist monk, on what he learned during his search for enlightenment.

In This Episode, You Will Learn:

  • I’ve never felt the need to apologize for who I am (10:43)
  • There is no understanding or unity or any empathy that can be gained by not being comfortable with the uncomfortable (16:16)
  • There are people who are so afraid of discomfort that they’re stuck in prisons of comfort that they’ve create for themselves (21:51)
  • Real confidence looks like humility, you no longer need to advertise your value because it comes from a place that doesn’t require the validation of others (32:52)
  • Demeaning ourselves will get us nowhere, the whole world is already trying to tell us we’re unworthy (36:52)
