Episode Date
Martha Mok: Vulnerability and Success
01:08:34

In this episode, Sherley speaks with Confidence Business Coach, Author, and International Public Speaker, Martha Mok. Martha has had a very colourful life and takes us through much of it, including her emotionally and financially abusive marriage. Martha wasn’t always known as the Founder of Super Confidence Coach. It took work to get here and in this episode, Martha walks us through how she did it, how she got to the place of empowering herself and others to fulfil their full potential. Through bullying, molestation, and abuse, Martha rose through all of this and allowed herself to try to break out in life. By trusting yourself and allowing yourself to try, you can accomplish so much more than you think. It’s okay to make mistakes on your journey, it’s okay to learn. By allowing yourself the space to learn and grow, you allow yourself more opportunity for success. If you are looking to be inspired, listen to Martha’s story, which might very well make it into your rotation of podcast episodes you play on repeat because it’s just that good.

Forgiving Others: Episode 04
31:45

In this episode, we discuss how forgiveness is less for the other person and more for ourselves. Do we only forgive when people deserve it? Is an apology a requirement to forgive someone?

Forgiveness takes time and may include scars and heartbreak but it is key in a journey of healing. So with all of this said, can we really forgive and forget? What is the value of an apology? How do we expect to have wrongness recognized and acknowledged? How does intention, accountability and understanding play a part? Let's find out...

Discussion:

  1. Should you still forgive when the person who has hurt you hasn't apologized or expressed regret over what has been done?
  2. Does forgiveness require reconciliation and friendship or do we simply need to move forward respectfully and cordially?
  3. Is forgiveness an ongoing process or a final decision?
