If you’re constantly trying to control someone or something out there to feel at ease, then you’re missing one very important principle that could change everything. It’s the fact that your brain simply has thoughts. Doesn’t matter if it’s a good thought or a bad thought. If you BELIEVE you are the thought, then there are far fewer options to execute from, because the thought operates from a very limited perspective. Listen to this episode as we dive deeper into this subject so that you can tap ...

If you’ve ever wondered how you could “toughen up” so that you don’t ever have to feel “bad” again, well, this episode is for you. There’s a nuance we must catch between an emotional reaction vs. an emotional response. An emotional reaction is when we react more to the story in our mind than the fact of what just happened. An emotional response is when we have a natural biological response to what just happened. However, more often than not, most people think that feeling “bad” is a weakness. Bu...

If you’ve ever wanted to see Personalization at work, then this is your episode. We’re breaking down how one circumstance remains the same, and yet how multiple people can have different experiences. And when we’re not careful, when we are not conscious of what is happening, we can easily get lost in other people’s emotional reaction and lose sight of what really matters to you.

No, this isn’t about how you dress, etiquette, or even how you speak in the workplace. This is about your internal hygiene that then speaks volumes for itself.

Today we’re diving into concepts around knowing your space, delineating between what you feel vs what other people feel, and...

Most Empathic Executives reach a point where they realize it’s no longer about ‘fast action’ aka all of the emails, meetings, conversations, and things you can do to get the job done. We consider looking for a new role, perhaps early retirement, or even worse, downgrading our position. But wait, when you look around you’re also noticing that you have the exact same skills (if not more!) than that one person who happens to sail seamlessly through one project after another. What gives? This is whe...

You can be the smartest, quickest, and even kindest person in the world, but if you’re practicing fear, worry or control… Well, those wonderful traits won’t be the first thing someone else notices. Most people believe that something is wrong with them because of the result that they see in their lives. But what most don’t realize is that the result has nothing to do with YOU, per se, rather it has everything to do with what you practice on a daily, even minute by minute basis. I dive into this a...

It’s impossible to have the same energy and the same type of goals year after year. Let’s face it, we’re going to be in a different season of our lives, and the new year isn’t the time to feel bad about not having “that kind of goal”. In this episode, we discuss seasons, the different energies to match those seasons, and what it means to focus on virtues instead of quantitative goals (because we’re pros on that one). Let’s start the year evaluating what means the most to you, and that starts on ...

Did you know that you’re the main character of your life? Most people would say yes, but if we were to play a movie of your life guess who’d be on the main screen 90% of the time? That’s right. A side character. Somehow the side characters have made it to the spotlight and we weren’t even aware of it. Listen to this podcast as we delve into what it means to be the main character vs a side character and why it’s so important to focus on YOU, so that you can continue shining your light, your purpo...

The #1 mistake most Stressed Out Successes make in trying to be more confident is that they focus on being perfect.

Well, then it’s time to dissect what is truly necessary in order to grow your magnetic energy. Listen now as I discuss the Top 3 traits every magnetic person has, and how you can cultivate mo...

Most people get caught up in the DOING in order to feel un-stressed. Doing, which we call Fast Action, might look like firing off that email, scheduling that meeting (right away), or worse, doing the work yourself in order to fix the problem so that we can get rid of feeling stressed. Unfortunately these leads to a vicious cycle where we get stuck in reactionary mode each time a problem arises. In this episode of the Stressproof podcast we’re breaking down why it’s not about the doing, but rathe...

Most Stressed Out Successes remain stuck in the problem, and more specifically the feeling of the problem, because they are continuing to behave as the old version of themselves that is thinking the same Personalization, thoughts, feelings, and therefore actions that keep them in this loop. If you find yourself relating to this, then you must realize that practicing this way of being is only keeping the problem alive.

The type of integrity I want to discuss with you today is about Self Integrity. Being virtuous to yourself. Catching every thought and word you speak to yourself, knowing you’re the most important person in your own life. We discuss this and more in today’s episode. It’s so important and I’m excited ...

The biggest cause for the lack of Leadership Presence is because most Stressed Successes are focusing all of their attention and energy on the problem out there. And what does our diligent brain love to do? Obey our command. So if we’re focusing on a past event or a probable future (usually negative), then that gives us very little energy to focus on what actually matters which is - ourselves. And the ironic question we have to ask is, “Where can we affect the most change and who can do it?” The...

Most people think we have a deep relationship with ourselves but mostly, we have a relationship to the THOUGHTS we have about our life, job, relationships, and even ourselves! Which is why how we feel about any one of those things can be up or down depending on what we think about it at any given moment. But… What about you? What if how you felt about YOU stayed constant, connected, and deeply rooted because it wasn’t based on what went right or wrong, but simply because you have a deeply, power...

If you’ve ever achieved that dream job, role, house, trip, you name it and STILL felt that all too familiar eerie feeling of, “Is this it?”, then you might be missing out on Joy Deposits. Joy Deposits are the investment we make along the way so that we practice and therefore BECOME the person that can meet that achievement with full RECEIVERSHIP. We can’t practice the same Personalization of stress and worry and expect something external to us to suddenly change the software INSIDE of who we hav...

In last week’s Weekend Wellness we discussed the 3 TYPES of Thinking, and this week on the podcast we’re now discussing the 3 LEVELS of Thinking. Most people are living in Level 1 where they believe everything they are thinking to be true and even a fact in their life. The risk we take when we remain in Level 1 is that we automate our day and how we show up without even questioning, “Is this the kind of result I want today?” or the even deeper question, “What am I creating that is allowing for t...

If you’ve ever asked yourself the questions such as: “Why did I do that?” “How could I have been so stupid?” “What’s wrong with me?” “How could I have missed something like that?” THINKING that these questions are somewhat logical or useful to repeatedly ask yourself… Well, this is a form of talking negatively towards yourself because the question (and answer) is rooted in lack. This is why (surprise surprise) we never feel good about ourselves when we ask such questions. In this week’s episode ...

Why do we suddenly feel like an imposter and lose our confidence when something shifts at work? Maybe it’s a new project, new boss, new JOB that makes us wonder, “Do I really have what it takes to do this?”. What’s funny is that up until this point you (and others) considered yourself a bad a*$ that can handle anything that came your way. And yet, where did that energy go? After all, you have the same brain and technical skills… so, what happened? In this episode I’ll be discussing this and how ...

We think we’re being logical when we are thinking about a problem inside our mind but is that really true? Is hashing out a worst case scenario and a thousand mitigation plans (over and over again) really solving anything… now?

And by that, I mean being your own mediator OUT LOUD. Listen as I share this simple yet highly effective ...

If you’ve ever felt helpless while encountering a problem at work, then you want to learn about Problem Ownership. Oftentimes when we lack Problem Ownership, we give our agency over to the world or to other people, and on a subconscious level we’re saying that how we get to feel, what we get to do with OUR OWN LIVES, is up to the other person and how THEY show up. Problem Ownership is about realizing your own options and owning up to your own inner authority so that you understand just how much ...
