Time for Laughs
Right at the end of 2019, I decided I wanted to become a stand-up. Timing, obviously, has never been my strong suit. I can't say it had been a lifelong dream, but I was always a comedy fan. Growing up in Finland, I learned English from American sitcoms and watched Conan O'Brien every night of my adolescence. When I saw Saturday Night Live and learned who Tina Fey, Amy Poehler and Will Ferrell were, it felt magical, like I was witnessing something truly amazing.

Why Can’t We Be Friends?
Her eyes began to fill with tears. Sally hung her head and turned. Again, she found herself walking away from all the other animals, alone. Laughter, quietly at first crept across the dry land, up into Sally’s ear. It was then, Billy the ‘bully’ goat shouted, “Why don’t you just go and never come back, Sally! No one here even likes you! How could we? Not even your own family wants you.” Now, the laughter grew to a deafening volume. Nasty comments soon followed. “Yeah Sally, get out of here you’re not like the rest of us.” exclaimed Henry, the horse.

Remembering Childhood
Remembering Childhood We’re going on a journey I’ve been through every day since my school years, from five to nine years old in a small town in the Philippines, when in youth we were weightless, and we conquered worlds as easy as turning a page in a book.

Powerful Habits That Make You More Assertive
What is assertiveness? Assertiveness is the ability of being able to stand up for yourself without being too pushy, but also standing your ground. It's being able to say no, but not having that mean you are a disrespectful person or aggressive. Being able to be more assertive can help you in all areas of life - it can help you become a more confident person, and it can help your relationships with friends and family.

Gaining Perspective
It’s a sunny day in late 2021, but the tree-lined streets of the fine neighborhood of Belgrano keep a part of the light out. There’s something characteristic of this neighborhood in them.

A Jigsaw Called Life
Puzzles have always been and shall continue to be a complete entertainer for those of us that love finite solutions. Life, often meanders its way through meadows and valleys before giving us closure or something definite. And sometimes, sitting to work on a 1000 piece jigsaw not only calms you down but also re-ignites feelings of motivation, of being able to balance life.

New Chapter, old Story
Why does the end of a year always inspire us to sit down with pen and paper and make a new wish list? The things we did or didn’t do. The places we missed seeing. The people we added or subtracted.. The achievements we earned or the failures that taught… Why is it that only the end, signals or coerces us to rethink, reinvent and reframe our next path?

Meet Coach Christina Lynn
Coach Christina Lynn is one of the most recognized luminaries on the Clubhouse platform. Growing up on the North East Side of Detroit, wasn’t the most ideal childhood upbringing, but it was the one she had to experience in order to learn how to develop thick skin and a tough exterior. Warmly and affectionately known as “Coach”, Christina turned her tribulations into triumphs by learning her own mental blueprint and mastering self-awareness through finding the Most High and learning Biblical principles and the fundamentals of Natural and Universal Law. With this knowledge, she developed tools that have helped her to overcome the lows that can come through the contrast of life.

Setting improbable goals is your way to success!
The vast majority of life coaches encourage you to create realistic objectives since they will prevent you from being stressed and giving up on your ambitions. However, I do not believe in establishing realistic objectives since most of the world's most notable discoveries were created by individuals who refused to accept the limitations of their circumstances.
