Embrace Your Authentic Self: A Profound Conversation with Carlos Delaplaya

Have you ever been trapped in the relentless cycle of self-comparison, finding yourself constantly evaluating your worth based on others? It's a common situation that many of us find ourselves in, and it's one that can have a serious impact on our mental health and personal growth. How can we escape this cycle and step into our authentic power? Today, I had the pleasure of hosting a captivating conversation with Carlos Delaplaya, a life coach, and a vibrant member of the LGBTQ+ community, who is leading the way in advocating for self-expression and authenticity.


Carlos Delaplaya: A Champion of Authenticity

Carlos Delaplaya isn't just an advocate for mischief, spirituality, and play - he's a passionate proponent of personal authenticity. He's devoted to helping us all break free from the chains of self-comparison, setting us on the road to true happiness. Carlos is living proof of the magic that comes when we fully accept and love ourselves.

Before embracing his authenticity, Carlos wrestled with the societal pressures to conform and fit in. His transformation began when he rejected the urge to compare himself to others and started to celebrate his uniqueness. Carlos believes that failure is an inevitable part of life, but it's how we respond to failure that matters. He advocates for learning from our experiences and moving forward, rather than dwelling on our past failures.

One of the most poignant insights Carlos shared was the importance of embracing both our light and our darkness. Contrary to viewing negative emotions as obstacles, he posits them as integral parts of ourselves that merit understanding and love.

The Journey from Self-Doubt to Self-Love

During our discussion, Carlos highlighted the significance of self-worth in relationships, a topic that resonates deeply with me. He emphasized the need for individuals to value and love themselves before expecting others to treat them with the same regard. Carlos was candid in sharing personal experiences from his life and dating, showing that dating can reveal parts of ourselves that still require self-love and acceptance.

He further delved into the concept of embracing one's true self. Carlos shared experiences from a retreat group that involved liberating exercises like "the confession exercise," where participants confessed their deepest secrets. Such exercises can lead to newfound freedom in self-expression, although Carlos prudently advised that they should be conducted in a supportive and understanding environment.

Unleashing the Powers Within Your Authentic Self

The journey of embracing one's authentic self is unique to each person, but for Carlos, it involved becoming more playful, physically attractive, and skilled in public speaking. It also led to attracting more engaging opportunities and enhancing his ability to manifest his desires. In Carlos' experience, the most empowering element he gained from embracing his authentic self was the power of creativity and the capacity for creation.

Carlos recounted the story of a client who had gone through the grief of an abortion and made considerable life changes. It underscored the notion that his work involves guiding individuals to navigate their inner darkness rather than merely cultivating a "love and light" outlook. His approach to self-improvement is holistically centered on embracing both the pain and pleasure of life.

Activating Your Inner Villain with Carlos Delaplaya

Carlos is the creator of an empowering group program, "Academy of Villains." This intriguing program encourages people to step into their 'villain era,' a phase of life where they prioritize themselves and cease self-sacrificing, even if society perceives it as villainous.

Quickfire Insights with Carlos Delaplaya

During our rapid-fire session, Carlos revealed his Myers-Briggs personality type as an ENFP, known as "The Campaigner."

He also shared his views on "love at first sight," expressing skepticism and cautioning that relationships based purely on initial attraction might not always be the healthiest or most sustainable.

When asked about the concept of becoming part-robot, Carlos interestingly referenced the anime show "Fullmetal Alchemist." He conveyed interest in having automail, a prosthetic limb that could be modified into various tools, mirroring the innovative spirit of the show.

Toward the end of our conversation, Carlos generously shared where listeners can follow his journey or engage with him professionally. He is active on Instagram and TikTok, and he welcomes direct messages from those interested in his work.

Overall

My conversation with Carlos Delaplaya was not just inspiring but also eye-opening. His perspectives on self-expression, self-love, embracing both our light and darkness and the value of authenticity were genuinely profound.

This conversation left me (and I believe many of our listeners as well) with much to ponder. It's an urgent reminder of how we often lose ourselves in the race of life, in conforming to societal norms, and in constant comparison with others. It's about time we break free and step into our authentic selves, embrace our unique journeys, and find true joy and fulfillment.

Eugenics on The East Coast

The influence of eugenics on the east coast By Samantha Aiko Introduction  Eugenics was a movement that began in the early 20th century based on the premise that specific groups of people were of a master race. This idea was first popularized by Francis Galton, an Englishman influenced by his cousin Charles Darwin's theories on natural selection. He believed that genius could be passed down through genes, but he also believed that negative traits could be controlled and eliminated from society. Eugenicists around the world took up this mantle, including America where eugenicists like Andrew Carnegie and John D Rockefeller Jr funded institutions dedicated to eradicating diseases like mental illness from our gene pool altogether. Their efforts resulted in over 60% of institutionalized Americans being sterilized against their will - with many believing it would prevent them from passing down mental illness or chronic disease to their children." Eugenics was a movement that began ...
