The Changing Relationship With Self and Others Through The Ebb and Flow of Life - a podcast by Jessie-Lynn MacDonald

My conversation today with Shenan Charania is about the changing relationship with self and others through the ebb and flow of life. Shenan’s life journey is so interesting. Currently, he is a transformative coach who works with inspirational leaders. He has a lovely presence and I’m looking forward to seeing what comes up in this conversation.

During this conversation, we take a deep dive into:  

• How looking for a sense of belonging led to being involved with gang life for over ten years and the realization that a sense of belonging doesn’t come from others, things, experiences;


• Distorted perspectives and how they play out in life;


• The journey of self during the journey of life. From the gangster lifestyle to owning a Tim Horton’s to being a coach; and


• Shame and guilt for past behaviours and choices don’t serve you.

Here are a few thought bomb takeaways:

• Distorted thinking leads to distorted actions. When someone has a shift in perspective, relationships change in immeasurable ways;


• Our own interpretation of the past changes as we evolve in our own personal growth;


• People spend so much time, money and effort searching for the answers to who am I and where do I belong from others, books, drugs, alcohol, food, etc. These efforts are futile, it is only when we shift the direction of our search inwards will we find the answers; and


• The most beautiful relationship you will ever be in is the one with yourself.

This conversation is a perfect example of the power of connection and the power of showing up. I hope you enjoy this episode. 

 Until next time: Be well. Be inspired. Be You.
