When is your current state of thinking not actually your thinking? It’s not your thinking when it is dictated by events in your distant past. Frequently, our daily behavioral patterns are forged in adolescence. These patterns are so engrained in our subconscious that they become automatic until acted upon by an outside force. Today I challenge you to look into your past and unearth the old stories holding you back from becoming the best version of you.

How long have you been told to put others first? If you’re religious, or at least a Christian, you’ve certainly been told to put God first. The strange thing is that if we live in this hierarchy we’re always putting ourselves last. Today I’m here to challenge that hierarchy and exclaim that you must put yourself first in. Listen to find out why this is true and how you can switch your hierarchy to better honor everyone, including yourself.

It’s not so easy being a mom. Frequently they are the most under-appreciated people in the world. Where dad’s like to look out for themselves, mom’s are always looking out for other people. I’m not trying to paint with a broad generic brush, but for most this tends to ring true. Today we get to learn how Lindsay deals with the daily challenges of motherhood, and how I’d deal with the same situations if the tables were turned.

Your perception of your life is what dictates your reality. How can up your awareness and open yourself up to the vast possibilities that exist around you? By finding someone who is in the position you’d like to be. Whether it’s a mentor, a coach, or simply patterning your habits after someone successful, sometimes we need to look outside ourselves to see that our dreams are actually possible. Increasing our awareness also allows us to better judge what does and doesn’t serve us.

Taylor holds a Master’s Degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and has a deep passion for Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing therapy (EDMR). Today Taylor and I walk through what a counseling sessions can potentially look like while discussing some past difficulties I faced. Taylor dives head first into her love for EMDR and describes potential uses for treating trauma, depression, PTSD, and more. Oh yeah, Taylor is also well on her way to becoming an IFBB professional.

The places we least want to go offer the biggest possibility of growth. We bury painful memories for a reason, most frequently because we don’t have the capacity to deal with them. Today I’m going to walk you through a tool called The Pit. The purpose of The Pit is to find a moment in your dark side and bring it to the light. How do we do that? By confronting it head on. This is likely to be painful, but it will absolutely be transformative.

Without a goal, how can you ever expect to get to where you want to go? It’s simply not possible. When it comes to goal setting, the problem for many of us is that we set time based goals based on external things. What makes it even worse is that we tend to unconsciously set goals that aren’t even for our own fulfillment. Today I explain how to set goals that come from within and why it’s important to create action steps within every goal.

For so many of us, our “Why” has become something other than ourselves. Our “Why’ is the new house, the new car, the new job, the raise, or any other type of external validation you can think of. I’m here today to challenge that type of thinking and explain to you why it can be detrimental to have a “Why” that doesn’t directly serve you.

Do you believe everything you hear? What if I told you Lindsay can speak with the dead? Or that the Federal Reserve is actually a business?

Today Lindsay and I take a trip down the rabbit hole to dig into some of my favorite conspiracy theories. Buckle up and open your mind.
