Choosing Joy

"But, hey, what if that's my calling?" A lesson in acceptance came in the wake of recent social change that challenged me to begin using my voice, again. I share my introduction to advocacy/activism, and the struggle of accepting that fully. Trying to dilute who we are inside serves no one, but accepting every single part of ourselves helps us to make change within and around us. May this episode encourage us all to find our inner voice and use it in our respective capacities. ~Music: @yogicbeats & @engless ~Recorded on Riverside~Available on Apple Podcasts and Spotify~Follow on Instagram @_choosingjoy & @_xavierkhalil~Email Your Journal Entries and Business Inquiries to [email protected]

"We all just want to be loved," but finding that love within ourselves is the best way to falling in love with life rather than the idea. Xavier takes us on a unique journey of heartache and confusion that brings him to a place of self-acceptance. These trials in relationship with others led to great triumphs in realizing "I am enough." This episode is to encourage other singles to embrace all the love that exist within and around them and romance their life beautifully.Music: @yogicbeats & @engless ~ Recorded on Riverside ~ Available on Apple Podcasts and Spotify ~ Follow on Instagram @_choosingjoy & @_xavierkhalil ~ Email Your Journal Entries and Business Inquiries to [email protected]

As we close the first month of 2025, Xavier reminisces about the year 2024 and the challenges that came with it. While he had prosperous hopes for 2024, circumstances and relapses forced Xavier to refocus on the things that truly matter to him. "Making Sh- Shake" isn't just about trying to find ways out of no way, but it's about trusting the process and readjusting with life, while never losing sight of the things that matter to us most. ~Music: @yogicbeats & @engless ~Recorded on Riverside ~Available on Apple Podcasts and YouTube ~Follow on Instagram @_choosingjoy & @_xavierkhalil ~Email Your Journal Entries and Business Inquiries to [email protected]
