This episode talks about negative thoughts that loop in our heads and how to replace them with thoughts of our choosing. As always, the episode is designed to empower you and give you actionable steps towards living your best life. I hope you enjoy.

This episode is the second episode in the role model series covering the world of Mulan. The bulk of the story is contained in this episode and I act out each character while also providing commentary of what we see on screen. I also give takeaways and life lessons that people can take from this movie. I hope you enjoy!

This song is intended to be the trailer to "Mulan Part 2!" An episode that covers the second act of 1998's Mulan. Enjoy the music!

This episode marks the first episode in the role model series. In these episodes, we will break down a character and world that they live in to learn more about ourselves. Part 1 of 1998's Mulan covers from the beginning of the movie up until the song, "I'll make a man out of you." Throughout the intro we see that the culture is patriarchal, and the people have internalized the view that men are superior to women. Unwavered by what society expects of her, Mulan will forge her own path and will be forced to fit in as a man. Because Mulan is put in this extreme position, the audience is able to learn from how she chooses to either give in or double down on what makes her different.

I use an analogy of a seed to compare humans to plants. I discussed changing our environment to suit our needs rather than telling ourselves to man up or deal with it. I discussed how to stay inspired and gave some examples of systems that allow me to follow my passions easier. I discussed having role models to look up to and use their strengths as our own. I also discussed how we need to value the lives of the people we talk to in order to learn and grow from them. Finally, I discussed bettering our life by changing the world around us one small step at a time.

The main theme of this episode is that you are human, and like many humans, you can accomplish great things. I will discuss giving ourselves the lives that we deserve by taking responsibility. I will discuss spending time on what fulfills us, an go over limitations that might be standing in your way. Through the episode, I hope to get across the message that we are very capable and that our limits can only hold us back if we let them.
