Open My Mind (OMM) 💡🧠
176 episodes Last Updated: Apr 27, 25
🎙️ Welcome to Open My Mind (OMM)! 🌟
From mental health and mindfulness to wealth, crypto, human history, physical fitness, and the joys of delicious foods, OMM is a space for curiosity, tribute and exploration to fuel an authentic and smarter way of life across all key domains we need to thrive in.
As a survivor of mental health issues, I’ve discovered that continuous learning, an active lifestyle, and positive daily routines can replace ANTs (Automatic Negative Thoughts) that held me back and made my life miserable.
I now believe, that regardless of one's past—one's scars, struggles, or stories—we all share one universal truth: a beating heart and 24 precious hours each day to channel our energy and potential into something meaningful and joyful. 🌿
✨ It is a choice, but also a skill that needs to be practiced and applied in real life situations.
My mission is simple: every time I learn a new perspective or skill, I capture it into one or many bite sized episodes so that I can take it with me wherever I go. 🙏
⏳ Why listen to OMM?
I save listeners time by distilling enlightening insights from thought-provoking interviews, speeches, literature, and personal reflections into short, impactful episodes.
Each episode offers perspectives and questions to meditate on, and by exploring these topics I regularly unlock new ideas and possibilities, bridging the gap between knowledge and action. 🚀
I want to leave the world a little brighter than I found it 🌈. I will do so by embracing curiosity, dissolving my ego and creating an unshakable growth mindset to cultivate discipline that leads to an authentic life.
Remember—sharing is caring. If an episode resonates with you, share it with someone who might need it too. 💌
🌟 Warmest regards,

Kennedy addresses a gathering of Protestant ministers to confront the "religious issue" during the 1960 presidential campaign. 🕊️🇺🇸 JFK powerfully reaffirms his commitment to the absolute separation of church and state, religious freedom, and a presidency guided not by external religious pressures but by conscience and national interest. ✝️🛡️ This episode opens with a heartfelt prayer by Rev. Herbert Mesa, setting a solemn tone that frames JFK’s timeless call for unity, liberty, and equality. 🎧 Join us as we reflect on how JFK’s words continue to echo in today's discussions on faith, leadership, and American ideals.#JohnFKennedy #JFKSpeech #ReligiousFreedom #ChurchAndState #AmericanHistory #PresidentialHistory #FaithAndPolitics #FirstAmendment #LeadershipWithIntegrity #1960Election #FreedomOfReligion #OMMPodcast #OpenMyMind #HistoricalSpeeches #FaithInAmerica #OMM #OpenMyMindWarm Regards,
