“Don't let your net worth determine your self-worth.” – Rick Warren

About This Episode:

Most people measure their self-worth in terms of personal achievements throughout their lives—but they’re using the wrong measuring stick. In this #WalkWithMe episode, I talk about an important (and life-changing!) shift we can all make to measure the value of ourselves not based on what we achieve (our job title, the grade, the scoreboard, the bank account), but rather on what we OVERCOME. And since 2020 was a year in which we had to overcome a lot, we should be valuing ourselves at a high level right now.

“Ten years from now you’ll laugh at whatever’s stressing you out today. So why not laugh now?” – Tony Robbins

About This Episode:

We’re living in a world where stress is at an all-time high. Stress not only affects us mentally and emotionally, but it can also manifest in physical signs that weigh us down. Over time, if we continually ping our bodies with stress, we can actually become addicted to the feelings associated with it. In this #WalkWithMe episode, I talk about the hidden signs and impact of stress—and offer an antidote or vaccine that can shift us to a gratitude state and help us become a blessing to others.

“Change is the only constant in life. One’s ability to adapt to those changes will determine your success in life.” – Benjamin Franklin

About This Episode:

It’s an understatement to say the world is fast changing all around us. Not being able to adapt can eventually hurt us. A recent family trip to see Santa reminded me of that. In this #WalkWithMe episode, I talk about effective and practical ways we can manage change so that we can not only survive but thrive this next year.

“Wisdom is the daughter of experience.” – Leonardo da Vinci

About This Episode:

Wisdom does not come automatically; it does not come with just age or with just experience. Wisdom takes intention. Our experience is an opportunity for wisdom, but we need to intentionally take time to reflect on that experience. This means looking back and asking ourselves questions like: ‘What would I have done differently? What can I learn from this? And, how can I apply it today?’ In this #WalkWithMe episode, I offer three simple questions that can turn your experience into wisdom.

“I’ll find strength in pain.” – Mumford & Sons

About This Episode:

Have you ever lost something important to you? We all have, and the aftermath of feelings can be devastating. However, I’ve found that those feelings can actually serve us – if we shift our lens. In this #WalkWIthMe episode, I take a different approach to ‘loss’ with what I call ‘The Desire Curve,’ which is the relationship between desire and gain, and the feeling of loss that can restore it. I break down the five phases of The Desire Curve, which starts with a burning desire that can fuel you to rise. But, as you rise and gain certain things you want, that desire starts to diminish until you hit a plateau. And if that desire diminishes too long, you will go through a fall. But, it is during that time when you fall and start to lose things that are important to you, when you can eventually recharge your desire and ultimately ignite another rise.

“Blowing out someone else’s candle doesn’t make yours shine any brighter.” – Unknown

About This Episode:

Progress is essential to getting the results we want, and I believe that a real desire to grow, move forward, evolve and pursue better will not only help us achieve our goals but actually enable us to enjoy the journey along the way. But, it is our approach to progress that matters most. We see all the time people trying to ‘get ahead’ in life or in business, usually in one of two ways: by tearing others or things down, or by building them up. In this #WalkWithMe episode, I break down these two approaches to their core, and talk about how tearing down might be used in the short-term, but it doesn’t last in the long-term. Building up, however, is about creation and can lead to long-term sustainability and positive impact.

“You cannot always control what goes on outside. But you can always control what goes on inside.” – Wayne Dyer

About This Episode:

Even with so much uncertainty around us and negative news monopolizing our mind, there are things we can always control. In this #WalkWithMe episode, I break down three things we have complete control over: our input (what we choose to allow in), our output (what we put out into the world so that we’re not part of the problem), and what we can do in terms of actions to directly be part of the solution.

“Stop being afraid of what could go wrong, and start being excited of what could go right.” – Tony Robbins

About This Episode:

When was the last time you were ridiculously excited about something? I’ve found that life is just BETTER when you are EXCITED! But let’s be real: Sometimes we go through seasons of life that are challenging, and it can be really difficult to get excited about much of anything. My own experiences have taught me there are different kinds of excitement. In this #WalkWithMe episode, I share the four kinds of excitement I’ve experienced in my life: 1) no excitement, 2) excitement based on Vision, 3) excitement based on Results, and 4) excitement based on Faith. Tune in to learn more about each kind, and why I’m still working towards living in the fourth one.
