We often react to setbacks in a disempowered way. Going backwards feels defeating, especially when we’re making progress and gaining momentum. It is easy to fall into the trap of feeling like a victim in these circumstances. However, it is essential to recognize the opportunities for learning and growth. The empowering perspective is that these opportunities move us forward, not backward. Focusing our attention on expanding perspective rather than on physical or material setbacks is key.

Redefining words and relationships

Setbacks are movements forward

Challenges are meant for learning and pivoting

Not being a victim of your circumstances

Handling a typical physical setback

Where am I choosing from?

Reflecting on setbacks and seeing patterns

Empathy has become a buzzword over the years. Being empathetic sounds and looks great, but how empathetic are we actually? Is our empathy fake? How deeply are we connecting with ourselves and others? Awareness of the edge of our own discomfort, whether it be an emotion and/or thought, offers an opportunity for us to deepen empathy. Empathy is experienced in attentiveness, patience, and the ability to respond appropriately to what is needed in the moment. And what is needed in the moment must be clear to deepen the connection.

Sympathy vs. empathy

How far do you go down into the pits with someone?

What do you need?

Fixing is often a reaction to avoid emotions

Empathy starts with ourselves

Empathy and judgment

Suppressing emotions

Fear of losing control of emotions

It’s in our nature to connect with people

Our relationship to food is fundamental to the quality of our life experience. Our eating habits amplify the complex dynamic between body and mind. Unless we are personally growing most of the food we consume, we are generally at the mercy of the food available at local stores. With the rapid decline in the quality of store-bought foods over the last few decades, mindful eating is more important than ever before. And mindful eating requires us to revisit our conditioned beliefs about food.

Reflecting on early memories with food

Noticing eating patterns based on feelings

Awareness of lifestyle goal

We want comfort more than growth

It’s a complex dynamic between body and mind

Extra mindfulness with the food we consume

Sensitivity to what your body is saying

Trial and error

Networking is an art form. It takes years of practice and deep self-awareness to network authentically and effectively. Until then, networking can be an awkward and challenging journey. Networking burnout is common. An empowered relationship with networking expands possibilities for our lives that far outweigh any time, money, or energy used along the way. How well are we connecting with others? Where’s the gap in expectation and understanding? How am I taking responsibility for the gap? Am I treating networking as a transactional encounter? In this episode, we discuss engaging in networking sustainably and in a balanced way.

What’s your relationship with networking?

Getting clear on the types of people we want to network with

Empowering reframe of networking

Limitation of a single-minded agenda

Forcing the gap

Eagerness to get to the finish line

How do you define “connection”?

How do we determine if we’re successful at networking?

When we acknowledge that there is much more that we don’t know compared to what we do know, we can understand that we are always living in faith. Faith is the unconditional belief in the unseen. For example, death is a major fear for many of us, yet on most days, we have faith that we will wake up the next day. How would our lives be different if we applied a similar level of faith to all aspects of our lives, including relationships and career? How do we strengthen faith when doubt sets in? What are some signs of weakening faith? In this episode, we emphasize the importance of empowering our relationship to faith in all areas of our lives.

Getting clear when we’re losing faith

Losing faith in self

There’s no map or formula to develop more Faith

Distinguishing lack of faith in the goal or in ourselves

Time to reflect is crucial

Alignment increases faith

Comfortability can weaken the faith muscle

Boredom and predictability

Karma simply means action in Sanskrit. Moment by moment, we have thoughts that lead to physical action or inaction. In other words, we choose moment by moment, whether consciously or unconsciously. We can choose to relate to karma in a supportive or disempowering way. This is our responsibility. How about the karma of self-judgment? How aware are we of the impact this has on all areas of our lives? Let’s dive into this!

We make choices every moment of every day in all areas of our lives, many on autopilot. When we question our choices, especially those we make on autopilot, we can create a life more inspiring and aligned with who we want to become. To break up the autopilot decision-making, we fundamentally need awareness of conditioned beliefs that influence our decisions. We also need courage to follow our intuition despite what others think, say, or do. The bottom line is that many people forget that they are always making a choice, even when the choice feels disempowering or when it’s to not make a choice. Knowing and practicing choosing powerfully regardless of the choice is a game-changer.

Amongst all sports, golf may be one of the best that mirrors life. It is an individual emotional journey that takes many twists and turns. It is a slow-paced, methodical, and spiritual journey. Every round is different. The course and weather conditions are different. No shot is ever exactly the same. The people you play with may be different. And of course, your mind, body, and emotions are different because you bring life circumstances into your round of golf. When closely observing a person playing golf, much about that person’s character is revealed. In this episode, we discuss lessons learned through golf that have translated to life.

With easy access to so much information today, sky's the limit to almost anything we want to know. Concurrently, the access is often overwhelming and can be more harmful than helpful. Opinions are misunderstood as facts. Information is taken out of context. Discernment becomes shaky. Are we using information responsibly? How are we showing up when we are wrong about a topic? Our ability to think independently, practice due diligence, and stay open to other perspectives is more critical than ever.

We all have ideas about the dangers and benefits of social media. But how intentional are we being with those tools? Are we using social media or is it using us? How authentically are we showing up on those platforms? Are we using it as an automatic mental numbing tool? Regardless of how we use social media, ownership and awareness of it is key.
