#126: Moving Past Depression

Believe it or not most Stressed Out Successes deny their feeling depressed because of their ability to continue as a highly functioning adult. Maybe you can still excel in your job, be highly engaging in a conversation, or even help other people feel better. And yet, why is it that when you’re all alone in the confines of your own home or even in those moments when you’re in the restroom by yourself - where depression hits you and you don’t know what to do? In this special episode I’m sharing wi...

#125: How To Change Instantly In The Middle Of A Problem

Why is it that some people are able to resolve problems quickly while others get stuck feeling stressed out and confused as to what to do next? One of the biggest reasons for this is because most Stressed Out Successes are unaware of the two phases of working through a problem. Phase One is where most people get stuck. They recycle past evidence of what was possible for them and equally recycle future worst case scenarios that limit what options they can take today. And without catching those te...

#123: Your Brain & Heart ATM

Most Stressed Out Successes are running on empty because they’re forgetting that natural “give and take” principle that lives inside of us in order to function optimally. And in order to explain how this process works, I want to invite you to think about your brain and emotional centers as if they were your personal ATMs. Most people take and take without ever realizing there needs to be a reciprocal replenishment of their own “accounts”. In this podcast I’m going to explain this concept in more...

#122: Who Are You WITHOUT Stress?

Most Stressed Out Successes spend a majority of their time trying to resolve the problem so they don’t have to feel so stressed. There’s nothing wrong with that but if you still feel stressed even after you’ve solved your problem, there are two critical mistakes you might be making. One, you’re not working on the real problem (and if you’ve ever switched companies or teams and STILL felt terrible then this might apply to you). Second, you spend all your time BEING a stressed out person that you ...

#121: Feeling Misunderstood

If you’ve ever felt misunderstood and made it mean that you’re not a good communicator, people don’t listen to you, or people just don’t “get” you, then you’ll want to listen to this episode. We’re going to be talking about how misunderstandings happen, what most Stressed Out Successes do that unfortunately make things WORSE, and how we can do the work to neutralize our reactions, because at the end of day how the other person responded (or didn’t respond) - was never really about you. Listen no...

#120: Thoughts vs. Truth

Do you ever have deep thoughts about what to ultimately make of a situation or how to see the TRUTH in something so that you can move on or make the right decision? And does this overthinking ever burn you out or make you want to drown yourself in more wine and pizza because it just gets more and more confusing as time goes on? Before you decide that’s exactly what you have planned for this weekend, you’ll want to listen to this episode first. In this week’s episode I’m breaking down why there I...

# 117: Too Much Fantasy (MINI)

Most Stressed Out Successes fantasize TOO much about what could have been not realizing that this type of indulgence is blinding them to the opportunities that exist right now. Instead of looking ahead and feeling good now, we spend our free moments throughout the day kicking ourselves for what could have been and fantasizing about how life could be right now if we had chosen differently. The ironic twist to it all? We have no idea if our fantasies would have come true but we consistently choose...

# 116: What Burnout Is Trying To Tell You

Believe it or not, burnout doesn’t “just happen”. Most Stressed Out Successes will look back and tell you that there were signs all along the way leading to the one or two major lessons they had to learn, AND burnout happened to be the messenger. Do you know what that message might be for you? If you’re unsure, don’t worry. This episode was created to share the top 5 messages burnout might be trying to tell you. Everything from being overly afraid of feeling that ONE emotion to realizing that it...

# 115: Why Most Stressed Out Successes Fail Too Early

Have you ever faced a new role or project and found yourself too overwhelmed with stress that it actually prevented you (or made it really hard) from achieving your goals? In this short episode I’m sharing why most Stressed Out Successes fail in advance… even BEFORE the actual result presents itself. When we don’t manage our brain, it will always lead to unnecessary stress which then compounds the failure we experience in our mind. And over time, this stress becomes so overbearing for our mental...

#114: Podcast Updates + Finding Pleasure

In this episode I’m sharing why we must balance our results with pleasure, and why every endeavor we engage in doesn’t always have to give us a result, other than the pure enjoyment of having done it. I’ll be sharing how this affects the podcast and what unconventional activity I’m going to find pleasure in to balance out the massive results I’ve ticked off in 2020.

#113: How To Resolve People Pleasing

Are you growing resentful at the people around you, requests that come through, or even your own calendar? Do you ever wonder to yourself, "Why don't I have more time to do the things I WANT to do?"? Believe it or not, so many Stressed Out Successes find themselves blurring the lines between a strong work ethic and people pleasing. But just because you can do the job (and do it fast!), it doesn’t always mean that you’re doing it for the right reasons. When we don’t understand why we’re doing som...

#112: Pain vs. Fear

Oftentimes indulging in our own illogical fear prevents us from taking action, which then results in future pain. For example, if you’ve ever needed to hire someone but the fear of hiring the WRONG person keeps you from making the hire, the pain you eventually feel (whether that’s burnout from working longer hours, dealing with customer service, or slow growth) drives you to take action immediately. That is because pain drives action. But what I want to pose on this episode this week is, why not...

#111: From Boxed to Boxless

Believe it or not most Stressed Out Successes are living within this invisible BOX of what they think their lives need to look like... ... without ever questioning their deepest desires first. If you’ve ever felt unsatisfied or even unhappy as you were going after a goal, it could very well be an indication of operating within your BOX instead of your heart. Or, perhaps you've ALREADY reached your goal only to realize it wasn't what you really wanted. Can you relate? Which is exactly why in this...

#110: The EMPATHIC Stressed Out Success

Do you sometimes feel as if you feel MORE than the average person and it almost feels like a second job just to manage your energy levels so that you can feel “good enough” to go to a networking event or even a social event? Do you ever feel overstimulated by things that seem “normal”? Things like the news, gossip, loud noises, or even the latest fire at work? If so, you might be sensitive or even an empath, and in this week’s episode I’m breaking down the biggest myths and critical mistakes tha...

#108: Fear of Losing Success

This week’s conversation is all about the fear of losing success. Perhaps you’re stressed because you’re trying to keep it all together and maintain what you’ve worked so hard to finally have in your life; and the fear of losing it all is gripping you with fear. The truth is, you can’t “lose” success, and the only reason why you believe you can lose it is because you are operating from the belief that the title, the role, or the money is something SEPARATE from you.

#107: Taking A Break For The Weekend Warrior

If you’re a Weekend Warrior AND feel like a Stressed Out Success then you probably use your weekends to release some major steam. This works great, until it doesn’t. Suddenly you might find that the weekends are just as stressful or worse, meaningless, which only adds to the feeling of stress. And what most people do to fix this is all of the WRONG things. They try to find more interesting events to attend, new hobbies to try, and more people to fill their time. Listen to this week’s episode whe...

#106: The 3 Biggest Reasons For Career Unhappiness

Stress can sometimes be the scapegoat for something much deeper. And so what that looks like for most Stressed Out Successes is they blame the multiple deadlines, sudden changes in policy, or that one specific person for their unhappiness. The truth is, sometimes it goes beyond stress; and in this week’s episode I’m breaking down the 3 biggest reasons for career unhappiness. If you’ve tried working harder to make stress go away and you STILL find yourself unhappy in your job, then you don’t want...

#105: Completing The Past

Oftentimes we have trouble letting go of the past because of how we think it’s affecting us now. We say to ourselves: "If that work incident never happened then I'd be more confident." "If only I had handled it differently... I'd be in a completely different place." "I can't believe I did that again." The truth is, the past no longer exists. But what DOES exist is our thoughts about the past NOW. And until we learn how to complete the past, we will continue to use our limited time and energy try...

#104: Stop Denying Who YOU Really Are

If you’re like most Stressed Out Successes, part of the reason why you feel so stagnant in your career and personal life is because you are DENYING parts of who you really are. Think about it, how can you attract the right people and the right opportunities into your life if those people can’t even FIND the real you hidden behind the façade you show the world? And yet, most people try HARDER to be someone who they really aren’t. They believe that in order to reach that career goal or attract tha...

#103: Fabricating Failures

Do you often imagine the worst case scenario? Do you find yourself feeling bad for days or even weeks after an undesirable result, and this lack of productivity is costing you precious time at work and with the people you love? If you answered yes, then chances are you are fabricating your own failures without even realizing it. Here's something to consider. What if there was no failure to begin with? What if you could have prevented the feeling of insecurity, lack, and dejection, and instead fe...

#102: Mind Conversations

Are you tired of the conversations you have inside your head? Maybe the conversation is always centered around controlling what happens, analyzing people and every outcome, or replaying that embarrassing moment in the past. Most Stressed Out Successes believe that if they can just resolve THIS problem then they’ll finally feel better. Unfortunately, what most miss is that it isn’t necessarily the problem that is stressing you out, it's what’s BENEATH the problem that needs to be looked at. Liste...

#101: Wanting vs. Deciding

If you still have that goal that seems to elude you every single year, and just thinking about it stresses you out... You are probably stuck between the WANTING of this goal and the DECIDING of it. When we are stuck in the wanting of something, inevitably the reason why we haven’t realized our goal is because, unconsciously, we are also in the NOT wanting of our deepest desire. There are hidden thoughts and fears that are keeping us from truly going all in, and yet we still WANT our desire but t...

Most Stressed Out Successes believe that if the problem just went away THEN their stress will go away too, and then everything will go back to normal. Unfortunately, if you’ve been operating under this model, then you’re probably still stressed, handling one problem after another, and wondering if maybe... ... this is what life is SUPPOSED to feel like. No. The only reason why life seems that way right now is because you're presupposing that problems automatically equal something negative. In th...

#97: How To Shift Into Abundance NOW

Most stressed out successes believe that abundance is right around the corner. “Once I get that promotion, then I’ll really feel good.” “Once I make this much, then I’ll feel more secure.” “Once I meet my partner, I’ll feel loved and life will be an adventure!” Can you relate too? Here’s the thing… This backwards way of thinking is keeping many struggling successes STRESSED and further away from their goal! And this is because things in the FUTURE do not make you feel abundance. THINGS cannot ma...
