This Podcast is perfect for those looking to hear about issues common to us all (e.g. low self-esteem, toxic relationships, challenges of marriage, divorce, wanting therapy or doing things alone but afraid of what people will say, hating your job, etc) and how to deal with them to lead a happier and fulfilled life. I won't lie - the journey to a happier life isn't an easy one. It takes awareness, effort, time and strong will. Providing personal (e.g. I changed schools 10+ times, lived in 7+ countries, divorced, cut toxic people out of my life) and other examples in each episode, I hope to motivate and empower you to start making sustainable life changes. Episodes will be released at least once a month (trying bi-weekly or more). I do encourage listeners to make it a two-way conversation i.e. suggest topics I could cover and ask questions if you need help on a particular issue, drop an email on ammarb87@gmail.com or DM on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/theageingmillennial_podcast/

10 Ways to Start Taking Responsibility For Your Life

“Responsibility to yourself means refusing to let others do your thinking, talking, and naming for you; it means learning to respect and use your own brains and instincts; hence, grappling with hard work (Adrienne Rich)."
In this episode I recommend '10 Ways To Start Taking Responsibility For Your Life' as well as explain what it means Taking Responsibility For Your Life.

Transforming Your Life With 3 Words
11/1/2021
A different episode to the previous ones. In this I talk about using & replacing 3 Words to Improve & Transform Your Life - words I became aware about after listening to The Mindset Mentor (Rob Dial) and Louise Hay. I provide simple examples of replacing the negative words which is sure to make a HUGE difference to your communication, behavior and thoughts. In the end, we're all striving towards self care and a happier self so let's start with small & simple changes.
The words you should replace and swap with are:
HAVE --> Get To
SHOULD --> Could
BUT --> Though, However, Although, Instead, Nevertheless, Still, Yet

Coping With & Normalising Divorce
10/25/2021
Perhaps I am being overly vulnerable in this episode and I’ll regret it later, however it's an important topic. I talk about normalising divorce (removing stigma and taboo) and how I coped with mine 2 years ago. It wasn't easy but I got through it via prioritising my well-being and support from my family & friends. I start by providing a brief overview of my 2 years of marriage, aftermath of the divorce i.e. what I had to put with and how I responded - this should help with coping in challenging situations - and why divorce isn't bad at all. This episode merely scratches the surface of divorce and I am sure to cover more in future episodes...

Ways To Spot, Stop & Fix Controlling Behaviour
10/18/2021
“When you let go of control and commit yourself to happiness, it is so easy to offer compassion and forgiveness. This propels you from the past, into the present. People that are negative, spend so much time trying to control situations and blame others for their problems. Committing yourself to staying positive is a daily mantra that states, “I have control over how I plan to react, feel, think and believe in the present. No one guides the tone of my life, except me! (Shannon L. Alder)."
This episode is all about 'how to spot, stop & fix controlling behaviour' which shows across all parts of life (e.g. relationships: parent-child, manager-direct reports, etc) and (Adele's new song).
In this episode of 'How to Spot & Stop Controlling Behaviour' I discuss:
I hope this episode motivates you to start fixing controlling issues in your life or making others aware of their controlling behaviour. It'd be happy to hear of your experiences - do drop me an email on: ammarb87@gmail.com.

Having No Expectations In Your Life
10/11/2021
In this episode, I explore the role 'Expectations' plays in our lives. We're all humans and have expectations from family, relationships, work, education and so forth. When these expectations aren't met, we're left feeling disappointed, hurt, moody and tired of life which results in negative/toxic thinking and impacts all areas of our lives.
In this episode I talk about:
Having Low or No Expectations will undoubtedly make you happier in the long run, in control of your feelings and taking responsibility for your life. Self Improvement and Self Care is a slow and gradual process, be patient.

Identifying & Dealing With Toxic Friends
10/4/2021
When was the last time you audited your friendships i.e. who your friends are, is it a one sided friendship, are they toxic, if they're adding value to your life, making you feel good about yourself, not taking advantage of you, giving you the deserved respect, etc. In this episode, in honour of Friendship Day, I talk about:
Famous Quote by Oprah Winfrey:
I am hoping by the end you start identifying your real friends and take action to cut out the toxic ones who aren't serving your purpose. Though I do encourage this: only cut people off if you've spoken to them multiple times and yet their behaviour hasn't changed. Life is too short to hang out with time-wasters, YOU deserve better.

Becoming Authentic & Yourself
9/22/2021
It's time I share my experience of Being Authentic & Yourself along with a new addition towards the end of the episode. It takes a lot of energy and health to be someone else or in other words, FAKE. We have to be real as well i.e. you can't be Yourself ALL the time - there's no point of being honest (or straightforward) if it's going to hurt the other person. A balance is always required in both your personal and professional lives.
In this episode, I discuss:
You do what's comfortable for YOU and remember, "there's only one of you, everyone else is taken (Oscar Wilde)." Stay Happy and Safe!
