Transcript for Ep2:Welcome to the Warrior Goddess show. I’m Lina and in this episode I will be sharing with you on… Why I'm doing the podcast...The reason being, to reinvent my legacy to have its own wings and spread to as many countries as possible. It has been a year since my mom departed. They say, time heals all wounds but not grief. I've not felt somewhat relieved by the time passing by. In fact I felt very turmoiled.I wake up each day, struggling just to be alive. I felt when my mom left, she took a big part of me with her.Thru out our 40 years together, I've been her "big sister" and she had always been confiding in me in everything. We laughed, we cried, in every part of our life. My BFF, my family, my teacher, besides my kids, my everything. Since she became a single mom, I often felt protective towards her. I've seen how she fought her way in life, doing her best to strive for a happier life. And no one came forward to stand with us, nor defend us until she married a wonderful man, my step-dad. I've seen how her family was against her being a divorcee and a single mother journey. But she did it anyway. Her partnership with my father was getting too toxic for her and her kids. She had to find a better way for all of us to live happy.When she left, though I've known it's important to leave a legacy, it felt suddenly to be of utmost important priority for me. She had always been there and now that she's gone, truly gone, to the point of not ever coming back, I felt the urgent need to roar out loud my message, my legacy. Time suddenly felt so fleeting. Life felt super short. For the past 13 years, I've been sharing my life ups and downs through my blog. It's my way of voicing out, an expression. It started out with the need to be a role model for my kids but now it has gone beyond that. But I need to get it out to the mass, pronto. I'm not gonna know how long I'm gonna live. Podcasting came into my life when I was asking the Universe, what's next? A window was opened. It felt sync to my heart. Grief still come and go but now I have a strong conviction to life live with a purpose. I can look forward to my everyday in empowering others with this legacy. And so while taking one day at a time, I hope to be the glimmer of hope by being my own bright light to others in need of a light at the end of the tunnel. A legacy of messages that I've learnt through out my life that I wished to pass on to many more future generations and hope they last beyond centuries even after when I'm already gone. This is the soul why, I started Podcasting. A beautiful intention to a new wonderful journey. This is my legacy. What is yours? Second story: Unfulfilled dream. I've always marveled at how beautiful music industry is. They get to engage their audience with their own beautiful vibe, energy and sound. And their fans can get to keep a piece of them to bring home close to their hearts. To play whenever the mood call for it or as a source of inspiration. When I was young, I wanted to be a singer but the adults around me "straighten out" my dream in influencing me to think rationally. They said that singing cannot provide for me or feed me in the long run. So I had to only think of 4 designated dreams that pays well - doctor, engineer, pilot, lawyer. Which none has the same affection on me as being a singer. Infecting people with my joyous sound, making them happy. I wanted people to have a "piece of me" that inspire them wherever they go to remind them of their own greatness.But my dream died when I was 5. And eversince I've been exploring myriad options, all my life. I explored being a fast food staff, sales person from selling pens, clothes to even lingerie then I tried being a model and a dancer when I was teenager. Later on, I became a civil servant as a technical officer in buildings, IT help desk staff, then a Quranic Teacher, a computer trainer in schools, a full time primary school teacher, a camp Facilitator, and many more. I’ve also became a seminar and event management leader handling major events held in auditoriums. Most of these career paths do not fulfill a certain longing within. A deep passion connected to my heart and soul. I wanted something that brings me great joy. So I broke out of the mould and became a blogger. This was the beginning of experimenting with my inner truth. And I’ve never stopped ever since. It brought me so much joy and fulfillment that my life creates ripples of love, inspiration and empowerment to many. This new podcasting idea brought me back to my original dream. It enhances my roles as a blogger, healer and a coach. These roles were united to create something more than I ever can imagined. I wanted to inspire people with my voice. And now I can do this and at the same time fulfill my childhood dream thru podcast.Best part is, it is being recorded and so people who felt inspired, my listeners and fans can bring a piece of me everywhere they go. And ...
