021: Living life with Radical Authenticity! Jemarc Axinto’s Reconciliation with Suffering & Journey to Healing

In this new episode of the Power For Good podcast, I am joined by Jemarc Axinto, a dear friend who is a transformational life coach, spiritual guide, and Chopra-certified meditation and health teacher.

After living their life disguising their true emotions, Jemarc reached a breaking point and started thinking about ending their life. They realized then that, without finding the capacity for self-love, they would never be happy.

So, they started on their healing path, and today they're revolutionizing the journey into Enlightenment through practices grounded in science and spirituality, recognizing that one cannot exist and thrive in the modern world without the other.

Listen to this episode as we talk about living life with compassion and self-love, accepting trauma as an inevitable step toward our spiritual evolution, and finding true happiness.

Quotes:

“My power for good is being able to show up as lovingly kind and compassionate as I can be and also recognize I need space for myself because I no longer want to be that bitch who pours from an empty cup.”

“I called myself a master of disguise. I was very good at hyper coat switching and becoming whomever people needed me to be.”

“I don’t want to be the person who says I wasted my life. Oftentimes we over attache to something external because we’re so afraid of the unknown, we’re so afraid of taking a chance on happiness.”

“You can’t get to the love and light without going through the depths of darkness and shadow.”

“I was told that only through God will I ever be good, and so without God, I’m just doomed to be bad. Also, I’m queer, so I’m definitely bad.”

“If by me living in this way, if I just walk by someone in the street and they see me wearing a dress and they go home and let’s say their masculine presenting and they try a dress on, that’s so beautiful to me.”

“The power for good is about living in such a way that other people realize they’re allowed to be themselves.”
