Ever feel nervous before an important meeting, starting a new role, or trying to meet an audacious goal? And if we really knew what we were doing shouldn’t we feel confident instead? Wrong. In this week’s podcast we explore the idea of that nervous feeling being 100% normal and how it might be our *thinking* that actually creates even more feelings of nervousness that then creates even bigger problems like answering the question, “What’s wrong with me?”. Oh, and once you understand this concept ...

If you’ve ever spent a lot of time, money, and way too many emotions on something you have in your life, chances are it takes a lot to walk away and so what most people do is - we try to make it worth it. And yes, sometimes it is, and most of the time it isn’t. So how can we discern between what our brain is likely saying, “C’mon you spent years to get to this place!” or “What if you need this in the future” or “But you X number of dollars!”. Vs. what that more quiet pulse, voice, that deeper kn...

Listen to this all the way through! If you’ve ever struggled with feedback, what someone thinks about you, or constructive criticism (compliments even!) you may be stuck in the Approval and Validation cycle. Most people would say they could care less what people think about them, but if you’ve ever been hurt by invalidation (disapproval), then we might have unknowingly been participating in Approval and Validation. Learn the three components that exist in this cycle and how you can identify each...

That’s right. What if your automatic response of stress was just a habit? If you’ve ever said to yourself, “I know this doesn’t have to stress me out” or “This situation doesn’t require this level of control or worry”, then this week’s podcast is for you. What further complicates and solidifies our response is when we make it **mean** something much more than what is actually happening. Suddenly, we start to view life through the lens of a stressed or worried person and now we’re trying to solve...

If you’ve ever desired, achieved, or actively strive to maintain Problem Free Days, and yet still feel as if something is missing… this podcast is for you. While it’s ok for Problem Free Days to be a goal, the biggest reason why this doesn’t satisfy most smart, high achieving professionals as the main target, is because it’s not THE goal that will ultimately fulfill a deep burning desire from within. Learn more about what it means to go beyond a problem free day and discover what real joy looks ...

(Warning: you may want to listen to this **at least** 2-3 times.) In this week’s episode I’m reviewing a very important concept that can help eliminate up to 90% of everyday stress. Most people operate from the assumption that their thoughts are facts. But the truth is, these two are very important things and once you can delineate between the two BEFORE taking action… you can start seeing and experiencing life with neutrality instead of constantly feeling as if you are at the effect of what is ...

It’s not easy saying goodbye, whether it’s a job you’ve worked the last decade, an old career, someone you love, a dear community you’ve been a part of… sometimes goodbyes are confusing and when we aren’t careful- can be more painful and extended than we needed it to be. In this episode of the Stressproof Podcast, I’m reviewing the 3 ideas that have helped to gain a deeper understanding of goodbyes, so that we can experience the inevitable with less pain and much more grace. Goodbyes have been a...

Aside from stress, sensitivity, and how to deal with deep empathy, another popular topic is all around the gut, more specifically, how to listen to intuition. While data and logic play a very important role in our lives today, after all we have appointments we need to be on time for and deadlines to keep that have a real impact in every area of our lives… Sometimes no matter how much data we have in front of us, we’re left with this weird feeling that something isn’t quite adding up. Cue your gu...

This week I’m introducing a simple, magical phrase that will help you to stop the chatter in your mind so that you can give yourself a powerful opportunity to RESET your system. With a reset you are allowing yourself a second chance to think from a place of neutrality so that you can think more clearly about your true next steps, what you want to say (and how to say it), and most importantly - how you want to show up. I’ll be covering the two critical mistakes most people are making that only ke...

Grab your coffee because today’s podcast is SPICY! Believe it or not most people are operating from a movie in their mind when it comes to stressful situations. Which is probably why we say to ourselves, “Why did I say that?” or “I wish I hadn’t sent that email!”. If you’ve ever looked back at a situation and thought, “Hmm, I guess it wasn’t THAT bad….” and yet in the moment you couldn’t help but operate in a way you wish you hadn’t. Well, this podcast is for you. Listen to today’s episode where...

How should we handle unexpected situations when life throws us a curveball? Is our response controlled by fear and attempts to mitigate stressful situations from ever happening again? Or do we show up feeling everything and yet with a quiet internal calm, knowing full well this is part of what it means to be a human? In this episode we’re going to discuss what happens when unexpected situations arise and what it means to respond to the situation with facts on hand vs the movie in our mind. Liste...

So you’re smart, kind, highly empathetic, and have a strong work and life ethic. I’m even willing to bet you’ve done a lot of work on yourself to develop all of those management skills that also include self-development and mindset. So then, why is it that when a problem comes our way that everything seems to fly out the window and we’re still reacting the way that we are…. in stress? If you can relate, don’t worry, nothing has gone wrong. All of that hard work hasn’t gone to waste and we simply...

Are you the one everyone seems to come to for support and advice, whether it’s at work or amongst your friends? Do you find yourself exhausted by the end of the day, unable to let go of what someone shared with you earlier, and perhaps even churning your brain for a solution to help? If so, you’re not alone. Most Empathic Leaders I work with find themselves thinking and feeling about other people’s problems well after the work day that follows them home and even throughout the week. Unfortunatel...

It’s natural for our brain to think in worst case scenarios. It’s a protective mechanism that has helped us for thousands of years. Yet, when we go over the same negative thoughts over and over again it starts to wear on us mentally, emotionally, and even physically. We start to lose sleep, we can’t make decisions easily, and we even start to lose our patience with the people around us. So then, what can we do to go from Problem Oriented Thinking to thinking more creatively and abundantly? We ne...

Ever receive a response from someone, say a client or stakeholder, and it was the complete OPPOSITE of how you thought they’d respond? And this was after spending a week of being panicked and stressed about how you might’ve needed to deal with the situation? This is interesting because one person (you) believed this situation was stressful, whereas the other person (the stakeholder) had no idea and responded to the original email without giving it much thought. Who was right? What is the truth? ...

If you feel more drained than energized, if you hate the fact that you are constantly stressed… then you might be missing a little love in your life. And no, I don’t mean romantic love, I’m talking about the kind of love that goes far beyond romanticism. The kind of love that lives deep within your bones and every fiber of your being, that has remained stagnant and pushed aside in place of logical thinking. Listen to this episode to learn a simple yet eye opening technique to reveal where love m...

The biggest reason why we feel stuck in a specific feeling for far too long is because of something called the Stuck Emotion Cycle. Most people unknowingly think that they are genuinely trying to understand a feeling by THINKING about it, analyzing it over and over again, inside their brain. But what we forget when we do this, is that feelings also live inside your body. And because we’ve forgotten this crucial piece of information, what happens next is that we start to wonder, “What’s wrong wit...

Most people believe that the reason why they said, did, or didn’t do something is because of the data that is presented before them. It’s the circumstance that created the result they currently have in their lives. But hold on a minute… if that were really true, then anyone else who is experiencing the same exact thing would have to take the exact same action and feel the exact same way, right? Wrong. And trust me this is good news! The real reason why we do anything is because of a singular tho...

Most people’s day and therefore week (and therefore YEAR) consist of one of two things… work and rest. Rest becomes this catch all for everything we have to do and want to do when we aren’t at work. And if we’re really being honest… rest usually consists of working out, netflix, maybe some pizza & wine, and sleep SO THAT we can battle another work week. Well, that doesn’t leave much room for intention let alone happiness does it?! In this week’s episode I’m breaking down the simplest way in ...

In this episode we’re going to be talking about where this voice comes from and the 3 very important subtleties you must be aware of in order to move past this small (but loud) question with ease and confidence so that you can focus on what really matters the...

Everytime you introduce something new into your environment (whether you are conscious of it or not) you are allowing an opportunity for even more THOUGHTS to enter your brain. And when you aren’t intentional about WHAT you allow into your brain, well… this is when most people start to feel overwhelm, anxiety, and even confusion because they can’t even pinpoint where this all came from or how it all started. For example, if you’ve ever scrolled through social media for even 5 minutes and suddenl...

Serious question: What would you allow yourself to do if you weren’t afraid of feeling terrible? Most people avoid going after their dreams because they’re afraid of a potential situation. But in reality, situations come and go and what remains with us is the meaning we created and therefore the FEELINGS that come with them. So then, let’s focus on what it means to deal with feelings in an honorable way so that we don’t carry old feelings with us wherever we go, but instead we honor and release ...

If you constantly feel as if you’re checking your calendar, to-do list, emails, and oh yea, social media, and STILL feel as if you’re frazzled by the end of the day even despite the fact you got everything done - you may be stuck in the energy of ‘constantly doing’. In this episode, I’m breaking down what energy we are operating from that actually creates this frenetic feeling no matter how ‘done’ we are, why trying to change our job or something in our life never leads to lasting peace, and wha...
