Each year, I make changes to invest in the podcast to make it even more valuable for my audience. We currently release a quick, 1-2 minute, actionable episode every Monday to give you a new tool or tip to try out. We release an in-depth episode every Wednesday focused on helping you build psychological strength to improve your life experience....but there's one set of questions I get asked ALL THE TIME that I haven't yet addressed on the podcast. Business questions. As it turns out, there's a TO...

Sometimes, the amount of work and responsibilities we have on our plates is just too much. Between work, caring for others, taking care of our homes and physical space, and attempting to squeeze in a little bit of self-care, it can all feel overwhelming. But, what if you could approach it with an entirely different philosophy? What if you truly understood and believed that your space did not have to look perfectly put-together? What if you realized that you don’t exist to serve your space and ma...

As you look back on the past year, are you happy with how you spent your time? How about as you look forward. Do you feel confident that you have a crystal clear picture of how you want your days to look and feel in the coming year...as well as how to make that happen? One practice I’ve been doing on a semi-annual basis for the past few years is a calendar audit. This is a time set aside for us to intentionally look at how we’re spending our time, and set some general ground rules to bring our l...

Perception is reality. Truly. Our expectations about how the world works and what “should” happen next provide a powerful lens through which we see the world. Perhaps no one knows this better than today’s guest. Today we’re speaking with Steve Haffner , a professional magician. Steve intimately understands the power of our subconscious expectations, and he exploits them to create magical experiences for his audiences. His is entertaining, but it also provides a powerful lesson in self-awareness ...

QUESTION: What organ does the heart feed first? This critical organ in our body has the important job of sending oxygen and nutrients to our entire body…so where does it send it first? ANSWER: The heart feeds ITSELF first. Think about that. The heart’s job is to nurture every single other organ and tissue in our body, yet it nurtures itself first by way of the coronary arteries. It’s as though the heart knows that if it isn’t ok, the rest of our body doesn’t stand a chance. What about you? Do yo...

It’s a fact of life that we’re all going to experience adversity and suffering in our lives.

But, psychological research shows us that it is possible to grow from tragedy, rather the simply be consumed by it. This week on the podcast we’re speaking with David Roland. David is a writer, presenter, and psychologist from Australia. For much of his career, he worked a...

There’s no denying it – life is going to hand us adversity. Time and time again, we will be challenged by our circumstances, and many times, those circumstances won’t be in our control. When I was 13 years old, I went blind for the first time, and I will admit, I let victim mentality take over at first. I let a number of false beliefs control my actions, and I watched as my once full, vibrant life began to shrink. Until, one day, I decided not to play the victim anymore. I decided to acknowledge...

However, as tough as it can be to set boundaries, it’s absolutely necessary. In this episode of the podcast, we’re speaking with Carley Hauck . Carley is a learning architect, leadership development consultant, author, speaker, a...

I want you to think about the last time you experienced adversity. Big, small, it doesn’t matter. Most of us have a pretty easy time coming up with adversity because we face it ALL THE TIME. In EVERY facet of our lives. Our relationships, our careers, our day to day life. We experience adversity all the time. Unfortunately, our mind’s natural tendency when things get difficult is to try to avoid. To chatter at us, to try to influence us to have a drink, distract ourselves, or procrastinate until...

Anger. Sadness. Guilt. Embarrassment. Shame. Resentment. These are all painful emotions that most of us don’t enjoy feeling. They can be so difficult to bear that, many times, we work at all costs to avoid them. We fall prey to the “Good Vibes Only” Instagram posts that tell us to pretend we’re happy all the time. It’s not possible to be happy all of the time. In fact, it’s not even GOOD FOR YOU to be happy all of the time. In this episode, we’re diving into the more painful, difficult side of o...

Today, we’re speaking with Blake D.
