As a child, what did you dream about becoming? How does your current reality compare to that childhood dream? More often than not, the dreams we conjure up as children don’t line up with where we go as adults—but sometimes it’s right where we need to be, and it’s what’s best for us and our families. My next guest is Chris Green, host of the Gravity Beard Podcast. Throughout his childhood and into young adulthood, he always said he would never go into a career that had a commission-based salary. ...

This is one reason why connection is so crucial: it helps t...

What does self-love look like for you? This is a notion I’ve been exploring this year. If you think about it, it almost sounds self-indulgent. But, the truth is, it’s the core of happiness. How you talk to yourself, the boundaries you draw, how you spend your time, energy, and money all affect your view of yourself. It’s about knowing when to say no, and looking after your needs before tending to others. This is the most important type of love you’ll ever experience in your life. In this episode...

Do you feel like you just don’t have enough time in the day to do what you really want to do? Do you ever feel like you’re just going with the flow, and the purpose of every move you make is just to please others? When we do this consistently, it becomes subconscious behavior. It forms a habit—one that is particularly difficult to break. In this episode, I talk with Dr. Wayne Pernell about the importance of communication between humans—and why it seems to be so difficult to do at times. We also ...

What does “figuring out” mean to you?We sometimes take ourselves so seriously in our search to figure out what our needs are and what our purpose in life is, that we often get stuck, not knowing where to go forward. Humans are the only species that roam the Earth with the power of choice, and that could be both a blessing and a curse.In today’s episode, I talk with Heather Parady about the power of taking action and choosing to get out and explore the world and play and connect with your inner c...

What are your strengths? What are your weaknesses? Getting to know the depths of yourself, owning your strengths, and identifying your weaknesses is no small feat. In life, we’re constantly critiquing ourselves and being critiqued by others. It’s all too easy to fall into the trap of focusing on what we’re not good at—and need to improve on—rather than where our natural talents lie. But it’s also equally important—if not more important—to also focus on your strengths. Having that self-awareness ...

What makes you happy? Usually, what makes us happiest are the people in our lives. The ones we choose to have in our lives can have a lot to do with our happiness, but sometimes we end up relying a little too much on others to make us happy and feel loved. Experiencing love is such a huge force within the human experience. It can nourish us, help us evolve, or even destroy us.This week’s guest knows these dynamics around love and loss all too well. Jude Walsh, author of Post-Divorce Bliss, knows...

Do you ever ask yourself, “Where did the time go?”Time is our most valuable asset, yet some of us are too caught up in the day-to-day tasks of life to realize just how we’re spending it.

But, through being present, building relationships, and living authentically each day, our time will be well spent. In this episode, I talk with Libby Moore. She spent 11 years of her time as Chief of Staff for Oprah Winfrey ...
