CAUTION – about 25 minutes in there are swears! Definitely grab some headphones or listen away from sensitive ears today. I had a truly bizarre experience last week. I watched my own life play out in a documentary about people with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder. What you hear today is the birth of my impossible dream: It's time to rebrand ADHD. By the way – I've heard it said that "The difficult is that which takes a little time. The impossible is that which takes a little longer." TH...

THANK YOU for your patience… We are a week late with this episode because I've been sick! I'm better now and I'm here with a story about how I built an electric fence around myself for safety. How that fence became a prison that kept ME in. How I have broken myself out. And how (if this is a trap you're caught in as well) you can break yourself out too!

This is a special episode. Somewhere fairly early on my guest, amazing middle-school-teacher-turned-connection-coach Elise Knox, decides she's going to go deep. And she really does! If you want to hear how someone can transcend the roles they were born into, the expectations others had for them and instead make their own choice about who they are and what they love, you're in the right place. If you want to hear the story of someone's rise above illness and the other massive challenges they conf...

Today's guest, Katherine Leamy, has been a huge inspiration for me while planning my upcoming walk across the north of England! I am thrilled to bring Katherine to you today. Her story may sound familiar, giving of herself as a wife, mom, and nurse… and realizing that she wanted to do something for herself. Realizing that in fact it's better for everybody if she does this, plus she really simply wanted to... So Katherine traveled from her home in New Zealand all the way to Croatia! And she's bee...

I'm glad you are here! Here's a summary of the steps to creating the life you actually want to live: 1. Pay attention to your self-talk. You get to choose whether you believe it or not. 2. Remember that when people feel good, they do good things. If someone isn't doing a good thing it's because they feel bad. 3. Cultivate feeling good by choosing to… Not the other way around. I.e. it's not "good things happen so I feel good"… It's "when I feel good, good things happen" 4. Ask, how might you cult...

A few Program Notes: in the segment AFTER my conversation with David, I share about something sad that happened in our family recently: we said goodbye to our beloved pet chicken, Saphira. I wanted to let you know here in case the emotions around the loss of loved ones aren't something you'd like to engage with today. In that case please enjoy my conversation with David Rue and skip this month's post segment. Also, I apologize for my audio quality... David sounds great, but on my end, not so muc...

"People who feel good do good things. People who feel bad do bad things." When a friend said this to me recently, it made so much sense. But if you're not feeling good right now – if you're experiencing feelings of anger, or sadness, or guilt, or frustration over all that's going on in the world (maybe even in your world)… I hope this episode helps you find a way forward.

If you are feeling buffeted by circumstances and kind of stuck, you are going to love this conversation. In this episode I get to speak with Micaela Levesque, the creator of a giant mural that takes up the whole side of a building in Hartford, Connecticut. At the time of our conversation it is the biggest thing Micaela's ever made, and we discuss how it came to be. Its creation included very practical things!

Today I share the story of a recent injury my Mom sustained… and how in the aftermath the love I feel for her caused me to – very nearly – show up in her life in a tyrannical way. Not in the loving, caring way that I would wish. Two questions a friend of mine asked me to think on helped me be in the best energy both for myself, and to be helpful for my Mom.

This was a fun one, with a colleague who was so helpful for me at a pivotal point in my coaching career. Garrison Cohen of thesatorieffect.net dives deep into many subjects today, including the idea of a "perfect system," spam insanity, and his concept of "selfish generosity" which certainly resonated deeply for me. I bet it will for you as well. Join us! Key Links: Click here for Garrison's exciting project, The Satori Effect, which may be for you if you're doing great work, and need somebody t...

I've been super excited to bring you this conversation! Today we hear from a one-to-one coaching client of mine, Angela. You'll hear her talk about some of the biggest struggles she had before we began working together – "Being overworked and not knowing how to stop;" and being "So fragmented mentally." If you're feeling something similar, this conversation may be just what you need. Because Angela's not feeling that way anymore. Instead, she shares about feeling "faster at giving into my happy....

We recorded back in late summer, and here is a testament to the power of this conversation: just this morning I was speaking to my teen, and remembering today's guest, Shane Trotter, telling about research on drug addiction. This research was called the "rat playground," in which the positive societies that the rats lived in during the research made it easy for them to turn away from the powerful drugs – like cocaine – that were available 24/7 in the playground. If you need some hope that things...

He brings playful energy, a f...

Maybe it's not quite true, the title of this episode. Maybe today's value isn't quite as all-encompassing as that makes it sound. But it sure comes close for me. We started this series back in episode one with a question, and I want to wrap up in the same way. Today's is: If there was only one thing that we needed, what would it be? Thank you so much for listening! This has been an exercise in vulnerability for me, sharing these values with you. It means SO much – more than you will ever know – ...
