Did you know there are two major ways in which people receive feedback? That’s right. Most people fall into a category of using an Internal Compass or an External Compass and depending on which you use it can drastically change the way you receive (or even give) feedback. This is why one person can walk up to a stage to receive their MVP of the year award and not even believe they deserve it despite the fact that everyone is whistling and clapping for them, whereas another person can walk up and...

Most people give up on their ambitions and career goals because they believe you’re either wired to handle stress and thrive in chaotic environments - or not. Unfortunately, this type of thinking has led to downgrades in careers and quitting before realizing one very important thing: Stress-ability. Everyone has Stress-ability and has the capacity to strengthen and increase stress-ability. Just like how we would never tell someone who’s never lifted weights, “You can’t handle those pounds of pre...

Most people stuck in the Stressed Success Cycle make this hidden mistake hoping it will solve the problem, only to realize later it was keeping them stressed. And that is…. Fast Action. Fast Action is an action you take to “get it over with” so that you can remove the problem and feel better. But this is like trying really hard to pedal faster so that you can reach your destination, only to realize you have a flat tire. Fast Action is pedaling faster without realizing that Fast Action isn’t the ...

What if you could borrow from your FUTURE dreams? Instead of waiting around for some future thing or person to be in your life, what if you could live every day, TODAY, as if you are living your dream right now? Here’s the thing most people don’t realize… You ARE on that path right now! This IS part of the dream, in order for it to be achieved. Without this part of what you are doing, your future dream would only exist in the future… So why not enjoy yourself today? I break this down even furthe...

Ever say ‘maybe’ or ‘not now’ only to turn back around and do it anyway? Don’t worry, you’re not alone. So many Empathic Executives find that this was one of the hardest lessons they had to learn (and even more so when it came to personal relationships such as family). Good news is that saying no doesn’t have to be hard, and you certainly don’t need to feel guilty for honoring YOUR priorities! In this episode we’ll be discussing: 1) Why some people might have a harder time saying no than others ...

All right, I have to read something for you all. Because I think there are a lot of you that can relate a SO MUCH to this student, especially if you’ve been thinking about getting coached or joining the program. You see, he had reached out to me YEARS ago, and finally started the Stressproof Method self-study program , and I won’t speak for him, I’ll let him do the talking because here’s what he wrote in: Susan - After a couple false starts, I got immersed in the material this weekend (1st secti...

If you’re wondering why more areas of your life suddenly feel “blah” despite the fact that you’re a go-getter and a very positive person, well… you may be unknowingly transferring negative emotion. When we aren’t specific and instead speak in general terms (i.e., My job is so stressful or I’m a sensitive person), overtime WE become a stressed out and/or sensitive person, instead of realizing what is really stressful is one meeting, one project, or one person. Whether we realize it or not, how we...

Are meetings (and maybe the people in them) a major source of stress for you? If so, this episode of the Stressproof Podcast was created just for you! Inside this episode I am going to reveal why trying to solve the problem at the level of the meeting, is only keeping you STUCK in the feeling of stress. For example, if you have been scheduling at least two extra side meetings with separate people each week, working harder at ensuring things get done in time, or maybe you’ve been repeating positi...

It’s something no one wants to hear but unfortunately it’s true… finally arriving “there” somewhere in the future does not mean problems don’t exist. I know. It’s sad. But when you take a moment to let that sink suddenly you may feel utter relief. Because what that also means is that you don’t have to wait to start accepting and living your life NOW… just the way that it is. Problems included. Life isn’t about avoiding problems or getting rid of every problem so that you can finally enjoy it. In...

Isn’t it exciting when you learn something out of this world and it opens your eyes to seeing the world in a completely NEW way?

In this week’s episode I’m breaking down the four misconceptions people make when they start entering the world of thought work and emotional mastery. From loneliness to getting...

We all know we have to work with people… AND we also know that we can’t run from how we’re feeling forever. I’m willing to bet the amount of pizza, Netflix, and wine over the years have proven to you that inevitably old feelings find their way back to you (especially when they relate to that one person at work!). So then, if we know that we have to work with people and that we can’t run from our feelings… The question we need to ask ourselves is, how do we expect to work with all KINDS of people...

Let’s talk about what it actually takes to have a Stressproof year. But first, we have to understand what we want individually, because let’s be real… not everyone’s vision of what they want is going to be the same.

Have you ever tried more than one way to change a habit, or maybe you’ve tried several strategies to reach your goal in surpassing a company record (because wouldn’t that be amazing?)? But in trying one strategy after another, you’re start to become frustrated or even bewildered as to why things aren’t working like you thought they would. In this episode we’re going BEYOND the strategy and I’m breaking down why in actuality everything technically works, but it’s really about the belief you are h...

When we can authentically be who we are without needing to hide, it gives us the raw opportunity to shine our full light, allow more headspace to be free to think in the present moment, and give others the same opportunity to let them be who they truly want to be. In this episode I use several different examples from leadership styles, spirituality, dieting lifestyles, and more to illustrate how we can change over the years and what it means to embrace that change or to hide that change. This do...

We’re very aware of what we support, believe, and even stand for, but are we fully aware of how we talk to ourselves about our dreams, goals, and our life? Subtle Thoughts are so subtle that they are automatic. You may be thinking and living your life from a place of, “Good things always happen to me” OR “Good things don’t last”. It’s up to you to decide which is better, and this podcast episode is here to help you reveal the idea of subtle thoughts so that you can become more aware of the thoug...

What if there was a scale you can refer to every time you felt prolonged mental or emotional distress? A scale that can show you that perhaps you’re in too much pain and if you let it go any further it can really lead to more problems and even more pain? In this week’s episode I want to introduce to you the Pain Signal Scale and tell you all about it. It’s a self evaluative tool you can use on yourself to see whether or not you’re simply tolerating the pain or if you’re letting the problem get t...
