We can't believe we've completed 12 episodes of The Intentional Podcast! As the season finale, we figured it be a cool idea to send a message to our past selves about the lessons we learned and the advice we wished we heard a year ago. In this episode, you'll hear both of us talk to our past selves in real-time, and we hope to inspire you to do a similar exercise. This was a fun activity and hope to do this again in the future! It's been a fun season trying to figure out which topics resonated with you and having conversations outside of the podcast about certain episodes! We will keep you updated on the upcoming season! ----- Links: Loom - Sending Asynchronous Video messages Circle - All-in-one community platform Notion - Best Productivity Platform ConvertKit - Best Newsletter Platform Favorite Books: The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck (Mark Manson) Essentialism - Greg McKeown Effortless - Greg McKeown Atomic Habits - James Clear (Please note, some links are affiliate links and we may receive a commission) ----- Follow Kevin & Kurative Co.

We believe mental well-being is foundational to everyone's lives, and since May is Mental Health Awareness month, we want to help de-stigmatizing having conversations around mental health.  In this episode, Mar & Kevin decided to open up about their experiences with therapy, grief, and more in hopes that our audience may find comfort in knowing that they're not alone in their struggles and there are opportunities to improve our mental health.

Have you ever struggled with making decisions? Do you sometimes make them but feel like you made it to please someone else? In this episode, Mar and I talk about the importance of understanding WHY we make decisions, the defining factors that affect how we make decisions, and our thought process to align our decesions with our values and prevent analysis paralysis.

Whether it's from our family, colleagues, or society, we are exposed to hustle culture. We sometimes praise those who work overtime and romanticize the idea of giving everything up to build a successful business. But what doesn't typically get shared is the downside to hustle culture. In the end, hustle culture tends to lead to comparison, stress, anxiety, and burnout. Mar & Kevin share what they believe the hustle culture mindset originated, how to fight the urge to overwork, and the path to sustainable growth. Enjoy the show!

We all have superpowers, we just have to know what it is. When we not only understand, but also *accept* our strengths and our weakness, we can focus on what we do best. In this episode, Mar and Kevin talk about what they believe their strengths are and how they helped during their transitions between different industries, the benefits of owning these strengths in the work we do, & how to find your superpowers to create a meaningful impact.

Whether you enjoy thinking about the good ol’ days, planning for the future, or feel constant anxiety, you may be struggling with being in the present moment. Whether they're good or bad, as we grow older, there are more things that are filling our mind space.  But what if we could enjoy what’s right in front of us? What if we could appreciate the little things again? In this episode, we talk about how our perspective of time determines how likely we’ll be in the present moment, how technology can greatly affect our well-being and relationships, and what helps us find more stillness each day.

It would be difficult to know what we should continue doing and where we should improve on if we don’t receive feedback. At the same time, providing feedback for others is crucial to help with other people’s growth. But when should you give & receive feedback? What are the differences between good & bad feedback? In this episode, we talk about all of that and more! We share our experiences with feedback, how to achieve the right mindset to receive it, and why feedback is important for our personal and professional development. Enjoy the show!

Whether it’s school, work, or life, there are so many ways we may feel behind in life. You may have graduated school late, have not yet figured out a career path you enjoy, or you may be feeling pressured to get married and start a family soon. In this episode, we talk about all of that and our different mindsets towards these life experiences. We believe we found the culprit that causes us to feel behind, and share how we shifted our mindset to away from this limiting belief. **Enjoy the Show!

Change is always constant, and ever since the pandemic started in 2020, it has greatly changed the way we work, how we interact with others, and our views on mental health. Whether it was a positive or negative change, there are two ways we can deal with it: by fighting it or embracing it. In this episode, we talk about how how we embrace the changes that come our way, how to balance feeling of both, grief and joy, and learning how to adapt ourselves for the future. Enjoy the Show!

Everyone experiences failure. And we’re no different. In this episode, we talk about how we handled failure from when we were children till adulthood and how it affected our view of ourselves.

We tend to associate ourselves to identities from the past. There may be some that are currently limiting us from growing and becoming the person we want to be.  In this episode, we talk about working through those different identities that serve us versus the ones that don't, finding a balance between the ones that might seem conflicting, and how to confidently own the different aspects of who we are.

For our official first episode of The Intentional Podcast, we talk about one of the most talk-about topics in the intentional living and mental health space: the feeling of overwhelm.  Like most people, the new year had us filling our plates with more than we could handle. In this episode, we talk about how we filled up our to-do lists, our understanding of what really matters to us, and the different strategies to overcome feeling overwhelm.
