Mikael Avatar was born with cerebral palsy, and instead of allowing that to define him, he went ahead and defied all the odds life threw at him. He beat the Paralympics long jump world record while in his twenties, wrote two books, initiated the Mikael Avatar Method that stipulates putting in 1% effort daily into a passion of yours, and lived beyond the age of fifty (the usual life expentancy for people with cerebral palsy). This interview is filled with his life adventures.

I decided to have my own brother,wadih Jreidini, on the show and have a heart-t0-heart with him. To be honest, life has gotten so busy that we haven't been able to connect properly over the past few years; so, I used my podcast for selfish reasons just because I missed him and missed our talks! We talk about our childhood and our relationships, and of course we had to make a stop at the four books Wadih has published over the past ten years... I hope you enjoy this episode as much as we enjoyed recording it.<...

Today, I have a surprise for you! For the first time, I have a guest on my podcast! A month ago, I posted an episode titled Money Dynamics, and it has attracted quite a few people, one of whom is none other than Kim Kent, Australian money coach. Kim has several money coaching programs, proven to be truly successful over the years, that she was named among the top ten money coaches by the San Francisco Review magazine.

In this episode, you will learn more about how money energy is a necessary energy to contend with and...

Say YES to life opportunities and life experiences, and you will see how much richer your life becomes on all fronts. Today's episode encourages you to leave anxiety and fear behind and to embrace the new in order to live life to the fullest.

Do you place all your money in the bank in the hope of good interest rates? Are you averse to investing parts of your money, or believe that you have to be rich to be an investor? This is the episode for you. Here I talk about what we are taught about money management from infancy, and give you advice on how you could manage your money. I also talk about how the bank is not your friend... so stop taking out bank loans!

In today's episode, I will take on the negative reviews given to Season 3 of the Netfix show, Bridgerton, those reviews that found Penelope undeserving of a whirlwind romance with Colin just because she is short and voluptuous and does "not look the part" of a typical heroine.

Of course, it won't be a podcast episode of mine if I did not infuse it with my personal experiences and obervations... so brace yourselves for a brutally honest reality check on the matter of weight and on looking different.

Many of us confuse sexiness with physical beauty and sexuality, when in fact it is all about confidence and sensuality. In this episode, I expressly talk about the sexy man, as opposed to the sexy woman, to make that delineation clear. Listen up and enjoy your time!

Women have been asked whether they would rather be lost in the woods with a man or a bear, and social media blew up when women responded with: Bear! This episode reveals my response to this whole calamity... so again I grace you with my unwarranted opinions!

Usually, women who date younger men get huge backlash from today's society. This episode delves into this controversial topic. Take a listen to find out my take on the matter!

How beneficial are today's university degrees really in preparing students for the work force? I explore this matter in this episode and give possible solutions to enhance university programs so that they benefit pupils to the utmost.

Today's episode is on birthday celebrations: on how I celebrate my birthday and how others do not like to celebrate their birthdays; on how birthday celebrations came to exist; and on how birthdays are not celebrated in certain cultures and countries! So whether you celebrate your birthday or you don't, this episode has a bit of everything for you!

Adoption is a topic I care about profusely, so it was a joy preparing this episode for you. I discuss adoption in the Arab world as well as in the Western world; I also discuss international adoption and pitfall of child trafficing; and I do all that through a personal narration of my experience with adoption (or non-adoption as it turns out).

We generally feel that unconditional love is reserved for animals and divinity. How do we, as humans, experience unconditional love? How can we, humans, get out of the loop of conditional love? Listen on to fine out my take on the matter...

On another note, I would like to apologize to my listeners for the almost one month absence from this podcast. Believe me, it was not at all intentional, but sometimes glitches occur that derail us from our course, and in this case the glitch was purely technical, meaning that my laptop decided to die on...

What creates a successful marriage versus a dysfunctional one? In this episode, I touch upon red flags to look out for prior to marriage; a few pillars that could create a successful marriage (such as open communication, including communication in the bedroom, and intimacy); patterns to avoid while in relationship; and some unwarranted advice...

This episode gives you, my listeners, a brief overview of the history of marriage since its inception almost 4,500 years ago, and takes you through its evolutionary phases to become the institution it is today.

I noticed that we tend to use the term 'Karma' rather loosely these days, and decided to create this episode where I trace back the word 'Karma' to its origins in India and Asia and compare it to the modern westernised concept of the word.

Today's episode explores hate in relation to other emotions: pain, love, jealousy and desire, misunderstandings; also and most importantly, your hate of yourself.

What defines a hero? Is a hero all good? Is good all good and bad all bad? Is the villain in a given scenario all bad? How do we decide what or who is good or bad? All these questions are tackled in today's episode on Heroism.

Resilience is a rich word that encompasses strength, endurance, determination and toughness, yet also implies adaptability and flexibility. In today's episode, resilience is discussed at the level of the group (the Lebanese population) and at the level of the individual.

Our fear of the other is what drives us to discriminate and alienate and maybe even hate other human beings. In this episode, I give you my Middle-Eastern take on otherness by discussing religion, race, and sexuality.

This week's episode was definitely triggered by the war in Gaza. However, since this is not a political channel, the episode partly discusses humanity's response to the war through social media and protests. Of course, I am pro-peace and advocate only that for humanity.

If you've read Eat, Pray, Love by Elizabeth Gilbert, or watched the movie, then you are familiar with the Italian saying: Il Dolce Far Niente (the sweetness of doing nothing). This episode touches on the issue of getting out of the everyday rat race hustle we are so used to, along with a how to section: how to slow down at work, and how to slow down at home.

This episode is divided into two main parts: physical imperfections and mental imperfections. And remember, you are perfectly imperfect!

How loyal should you be to your workplace? In your friendships? In your love connections? Tune in to delve into my personal experiences and viewpoints on these three aspects of loyalty...

Interested in finding out more about how creativity works? What about how your mental state affects your creativity? To delve deeper into creativity and all its aspects and its effect on your life, tune in to today's episode!
