Khens Lens Podcast

This is volume 2 of my Anthology Series where I share faith-inspired poetry. Today's episode explores the phenomenon of the fluctuating feelings of uncertainty and anticipation we all feel in approach and arrival into a New Year. Carefully illustrated by a metaphor of crossing a river, I dive deep into the experience of how God guides our journeys in different ways than we expect, that may differ from our initial plan or vision all while getting us across the river of time. A summary is available on the Instagram page @khenslenspodcast. PS my apologies, recorded this whilst it was raining and there's a bit of a static sound at times xx.

this is an account of how God can breathe life into your dreams and quickly turn them into a reality you couldn't have possibly conjured on your own. I dive into a vulnerable experience of insecurity, imposter syndrome and self-sabotage and how God pulled me out of that and reignited my confidence to pursue a passion I've had since I was a child.

*Explicit Content* This is episode is nothing but real talk. We speak about the inevitable external factors that throw spanners into the work of our goals and completely take us off track. This includes but is not limited to: family, relationships, career, economy, finances, health etc. We discuss identifying and preparing for the seasons that leave us with no choice but to adapt, adjust and realign. These unavoidable seasons play a big role in our character development and in this episode, we break it down to the absolute core. As with life, we must expect sudden changes to occur in our lives at any time, this year will be no different. Better to prepare than to repair and in this episode, I show you how to do exactly that.

Yup this is the time when the New Year's buzz dies down, and with it motivation to set new goals. Motivation unfortunately is not everlasting and is probably best considered a catalyst, one that gives you that spark of inspiration that makes you want to translate your dreams into plans. However, there is only one way to ensure your plans evolve into action and that is through momentum. In this episode, we discuss the scientific and practical application of momentum and how can apply it to our lives metaphorically to ensure we take the necessary steps to sustain progress in our goal journey throughout the year. Remember, motivation is sporadic but momentum nurtures consistency.

This episode is for those of us who happen to find ourselves exactly where we were several months or years ago, feeling utmost despair for not having a goal or having any will to improve.

This episode is like an AA meeting, pun intended. If you don't get it, forget about it. This time we're speaking about actually sticking to our goals. Setting them is easy and in fact exciting, but actually following through with them? That's where the difficulty lies. It's not all doom and gloom though, there is a solution that can drastically improve our rate of success when it comes to actually completing the projects we've assigned to ourselves. One way to do this is through accountability. Have no idea what that is or how to go about it? Then this is the episode for you.

Ever achieved something and felt so dissatisfied or burnt out after? Same, you're not alone. In this episode, I discuss the phenomenon of what is known as the 'arrival fallacy'. A concept where happiness is thought to be a destination, rather than a journey. The New Year's buzz comes with fleeting feelings of motivation, determination, and ambition. It is the most common time for people to start setting goals, in hopes to chase the joy and fulfillment they felt they lacked the year before. But that's exactly where the illusion is. As the year kicks off, it is important to note that your goals will not always equate to happiness but in this episode, I show you how the warning signs of the 'arrival fallacy' and how to not let that get you down so you can smash your goals for the year, even if you don't feel like it.

Super excited to be back with the first episode of the year! Yes soul sisters I'm back. In this episode, I discuss why I disappeared, how I accidentally deleted my podcast by trying to switch podcast hosts and overcoming the seemingly endless cycle of self-destructing. I spent a whole year wallowing in burnout, shame, guilt and imposter syndrome. What we don't realize is that we feed habits in the beginning stages of action towards our dreams and goals that eventually result in those self-destructing behaviours. If you have a dream or set any goals for yourself this year, this episode is for you! Learn how to combat the negative corrosion of self-sabotage and ensure you achieve those goals no matter what. I explore vulnerability in this episode by opening up about my podcasting and entrepreneurship journey and how I managed to refocus and redirect my goals. Although this is not a usual episode of tips and advice, through my journey I aim to help anyone feeling out of place and imbalanced, get back on track. Navigate angel, don't self-depreciate. www.khensk.com/podcast

In this episode, we take a look at how failure is the stepping stone of our success. We analyze the characteristics it helps us build in order to sustain and achieve success. Whether the fear of failure has you in a chokehold or you are struggling to maximize your goals, this episode is for anyone who wants to do more and has tried to do more, but most importantly has failed and is willing to get back up again.

In this episode, we discuss the importance of being different and how our unique qualities catapult us towards our goals. We explore the space where we can indulge in our abstract ideas, bring them to fruition and ultimately make our dreams a reality. Being different can serve as the creative recipe you need to set you apart. So in this episode, we explore differences in a way that does not isolate but empower.

"What may seem mediocre to you, might be perfect to your audience,". We often let negligible or minor details get in the way of our success. In this episode, I discuss how we hold ourselves back from achieving our goals due to perfectionism and idealism. We can often feel as though we have to be a certain way in order to even start pursuing those goals, not even realizing that we all have to start somewhere! Perfectionism is instilled and taught, but also unattainable and unrealistic. In this episode we talk about what we consider to be 'mediocre' might be exactly what we need to achieve those goals! If you've ever felt you're not good enough, especially for what you want out of life, this episode is for you.

In the first-ever episode of the Khens Lens Podcast, I discuss the importance of getting started and the steps I took overcoming my own self-doubt regarding starting a podcast! If you have a dream or goal, this episode is for you!
