Shattering Myths: Why Feeling Worthy Isn’t a Prerequisite to Success

Do you really have to feel "worthy" of something before you can receive it into your life? This episode debunks a common myth that in order for people to get what they want they must first feel worthy of it. Certainly this is important, but it is missing a key component.

Focusing only on worthiness can be a distraction because, for most people, asking for what they want is uncomfortable. Wo...

The Advice Paradox: Unseen Habits of Helpfulness

Most people dislike getting unsolicited advice. But at the same time, many people also don't notice their habitual compulsion to do the same thing to others. Why is this?

People can find it intolerable to listen to the other, while at the same time want support for themselves. Tune in for an inquiry on how to use self-awareness to help with this common human expe...

If you're sick of dealing with "Me, Myself and I and All My Issues" -- when knowing something isn't the same as changing something

Many people who have done a lot of personal development and leadership trainings are already aware of their limiting beliefs, fears or internal struggles. Sometimes people get very frustrated when a change in their lives doesn't happen. Why does change happen easily sometimes but not other times? Tune in to what might be going on, that knowing the "what" of transformation is not the same as knowing the "how" or even the "when". And it's not because of lack of willpower...

What you need to know about power: the misunderstood element in all relationships that predicts the quality of the interaction

Many people are terrified of conflict and struggle to set boundaries. Even when they know they should, they do not know how, even in spite of reading books or doing a lot of self help. But a critical element in the energy of boundaries has been missed in a lot of conventional pop psychology, and it's something that animals instinctively know. Nurturing is only half of the equation. The development of baby teeth and the bite-snap instinct in wolves, for example, is essential. In contrast, humans ...

Trouble saying "no" -- lessons in dating that could have been a serious disaster

Saying "no" is hard for many people. It's especially challenging when part of you isn't completely against something, and part of you is still feeling "off" inside. Being talked into something results in people making decisions they often regret, often because they don't want to the other person's feelings. And then upon hindsight, they blame themselves for going along with things they didn't want. What do you do when it's a confusing internal combination of, "Yes, kind of" and "No, I don't want...

If want to make a difference -- do you want to be a star? or a rock star?

The desire to make a difference, to make an impact, is universal. It's a useful guide towards the "more" of what you may be expanding into, in life. We all want to feel that our existence makes an impact in the world. But it's essential to tune in to the energy that's behind this desire. It can be a sign of a deeper spiritual awakening, or it can be a symptom of unhealed pain. Do you desire to be a star in your own life, with the natural expression of your gifts? Or is it a yearning to be a rock...

Purpose -- an ongoing inquiry where most people need help so they can help others

Part of the reason why people struggle with knowing their purpose is because our culture is one of individualism where people feel uncomfortable with asking for help. But they want to help others. The journey into more purpose nudges you to receive more from life (and others) so that you have more to give. Most people still assume their purpose is something they figure out all by themselves, in a vaccuum. What is your soul gift that you most enjoy sharing with others? *** If you're serious about...

What is your life purpose and how do you go about finding what it is?

Many people feel an uncomfortable sense inside that they aren't living their life's purpose but they don't know what it is. It can be frustrating, since everyone wants a life of reaching their full potential. Part of the problem is people don't know what purpose really means or where to start in their inquiry. It can feel so big and abstract. You are meant to fully express who you are in this life. This clip discusses common misconceptions about purpose and ways to make the ongoing inquiry easie...

How to handle the need for approval and validation

The need for approval is something everyone grapples with, and it's a need that is as old as the human race itself. We know psychologically that we're not supposed to need validation, but it can still be a very painful thing. We want so much for other people to know who we truly are. Listen to this case study with "Anne", who has grown tremendously from where I took her in this exercise.

The addiction to understanding stuff -- if you use understanding as a way to connect to people, this clip might surprise you

In our highly intellectualized culture, even basic connection with people has become somewhat of an exercise in understanding people. Many of my clients expend a lot of energy trying to understand people, themselves and the world as the main strategy for how to live a connected life. Understanding is seen as a superpower to everything. And it makes sense, since much of our discussions in personal and spiritual development often center around "understanding" things. This might be in understanding...

TikTok's energetic footprint on your ability to fully feel and a creator's pov on what's needed for connection

Social media's impact on people is profound. What seems enjoyable, entertaining and informative is also creating tremendous stress in ways that people don't realize. It's creating anxiety and tension. This is especially the case with the emerging popularity of short-form video platforms such as TikTok, which deliver a bigger payload on your energy system than platforms that use photos and text posts. Humans are wired for story. But we evolved to tell stories in a different way than how they are ...

Are you spiritual or metaphysical? What's the difference, and does it matter?

What's the difference between "spiritual" and "metaphysical"? Are they the same thing, and does it matter? If you've been on a spiritual path, you've probably noticed that these two terms have often been used interchangeably, especially in New Age - related discussions. This adds to a fuzziness in understanding. But they are not the same thing, and using these words interchangeably is a disservice because it makes it harder to discern whether the speaker is talking about a concept or an actual e...

The epidemic of feeling lonely in a crowd and what we need now

There are limits to what self-help can do, primarily because people tend to go it alone. The "inner job" of self growth was never supposed to be an "all by yourself" job.

What is it that so many people are seeking when there's an inner emptiness that can't be named, and why are they having trouble finding what they are looking for?
