  Building Courage, Character & Confidence: Protecting a Child’s Belief in “I AM” with Mark Papadas

  Sep 2, 202619 min

  In this two-part conversation on The Samurai Way Podcast, I sit down with Mark Papadas, founder of I Am For Kids, to explore how we can help children build unshakable confidence through the power of identity. Mark believes every child is born believing in their own “I AM,” and our responsibility is to protect and strengthen that belief. We talk about identity, character, courage, curiosity, resilience, and never giving up by connecting his work with the timeless Japanese principles of Bushido, Ikigai, and Ganbaru, developing modern-day Samurai warriors! Mark shares inspiring stories and simple ways parents, teachers, and mentors can help children recognize their strengths, overcome negative patterns, and believe in what they are capable of. We’re reminded that our past does not have to define our future—and who we believe we are shaping how we live. And as Mark says: Be Great! I AM.   Connect with Mark Papadas New Book: iam4kidsbook.com Website: iam4kids.com ‍‍‍ Be Great!

  How to Turn Your Scars into Gold with Céline Santini

  Aug 27, 202625 min

  In this two-part conversation on The Samurai Way Podcast, I sit down with internationally-acclaimed speaker and author Céline Santini to explore the beautiful Japanese art and philosophy of Kintsugi. In Part 1, Céline shares how she discovered Kintsugi during one of the most challenging periods of her life and how the image of a broken bowl repaired with golden lines changed the way she viewed her own struggles. We talk about resilience, healing, imperfection, and turning brokenness into strength. In Part 2, we go deeper into Céline's six-step Kintsugi-inspired process and how we can apply these principles to our own lives. We explore how our scars can become part of our story and how difficult experiences can be transformed into something meaningful. This conversation is a reminder that we don't have to hide the cracks. Sometimes, the places where we have been broken can become the places where our strength, resilience, and beauty shine through. I also share part of my own journey and how the challenges I experienced led me toward a new path as an author, speaker, and podcast host. I hope these two episodes inspire you to look at your own scars differently and discover the gold within your story.   Connect with Céline Santini Website: https://kintsugi-spirit.com/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/celinesantini/ Book: https://kintsugi-spirit.com/books/ Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

  Beyond Survival: Finding Joy, Gratitude & Purpose with Stephanie Vieira

  Aug 20, 202618 min

  In this special two-part conversation on The Samurai Way Podcast, I sit down with Stephanie Vieira, an author, certified Ikigai life coach, speaker, and trauma survivor, to explore her powerful journey from trauma and survival to healing, gratitude, joy, and purpose. Stephanie shares her story of growing up with abuse, experiencing coaching abuse as a young competitive swimmer, and eventually beginning the difficult but transformative journey of healing through recovery, therapy, shadow work, and mindfulness. At a turning point in her life, Stephanie asked the universe for guidance. The answer was gratitude. That discovery became a doorway to something deeper: Ikigai. Together, we explore Ikigai beyond the Western Venn diagram and career-focused formula. Stephanie shares how reconnecting with the things she loved as a child helped her rediscover parts of herself that had been buried by trauma, and how small moments of joy can become meaningful reasons to engage with life. We also talk about something many of us can relate to: losing our identity in our careers. After more than two decades in hospitality, Stephanie realized she had become defined by her job title. Today, she helps others discover that their career does not define them. Who you are goes much deeper than what you do. And perhaps one of the most powerful lessons from our conversation is that gratitude does not mean ignoring pain. Pain and gratitude can coexist. Stephanie explains how her past is part of her story, but it doesn't have to be part of her present. By practicing mindfulness, noticing the small things, and reconnecting with what brings us joy, we can begin moving from survival toward a life of greater meaning and purpose. This is a conversation about healing, resilience, gratitude, identity, and Ikigai. If you've ever felt lost, defined by your career, disconnected from yourself, or unsure of your purpose, Stephanie's story offers a beautiful reminder: You can heal. You can rediscover yourself. And you can find joy again. Join us for both episodes of The Samurai Way Podcast as Stephanie and I explore the journey from trauma to healing, from survival to gratitude, and from gratitude to Ikigai.
