In this week’s episode of "Chasing Self Actualization," hosts Marisol Sanchez and Janaiah von Hassel are joined by motivational speaker and author Chad Porter to explore the transformative power of faith, resilience, and authenticity. The discussion dives deep into the importance of showing up with divine purpose, embracing the rollercoaster of emotions, and processing difficult experiences without isolation. Personal anecdotes from all three speakers provide a poignant backdrop, highlighting how faith and prayer have played crucial roles in navigating life's challenges. Specifically, Marisol shares her journey of leaving a 30-year career and learning to trust her instincts and faith, while Chad recounts his near-fatal water skiing accident and his subsequent journey to inspire others through his story.

Furthermore, the episode underscores the common human experience of hardship and the necessity of accepting reality, even when it's uncomfortable. The trio emphasizes that struggling with self-love and self-worth is a shared experience, and all emotions, including gratitude during tough times, are valid and natural. The hosts candidly discuss their experiences with maintaining positivity and the illusion of having life figured out, revealing their authentic selves to the listeners. The dialogue is not only motivational but also serves as a gentle reminder of the power of faith and community support, encouraging listeners to embrace every facet of their lives with a sense of purpose and hope.
