Personal growth is a lifelong journey of uncovering the truth about ourselves beyond conditioned beliefs. There is no finish line. This work challenges us mentally, emotionally, physically, and spiritually in unpredictable and uncontrollable ways, leaving us often confused and feeling lost. The discomfort of not knowing and not having control is frequently a cause of irritation, where we’re actually clinging to expectations. However, devotion to this journey of expanded self-awareness and embodiment of wisdom brings intangible rewards far greater than any amount of material wealth can offer. Devotion to this complex work is not for everyone, but any bit will help us access a deeper sense of true love.

Devotion to personal growth

Balancing personal growth and wanting results

Staying true to commitments

The trap of wanting what others have

Surface feelings vs. intuition

Humans need a never-ending purpose

The words we use are more impactful and powerful than we were led to believe growing up. In many cases, the language we use is generational, habitual, and automatic. If we are sensitive to the energy underneath the words we use, we will notice positivity and negativity. And the energy can be subtle. The energy depends on our beliefs, relationship to the words, and our current circumstances as they relate to past experiences. The energy doesn’t lie, but how we use the words or justify them can be lies. So, it is critical to be clear about the energy underneath the words we use, especially if we want to teach younger generations about the use of language and their way of speaking.

We grow up mimicking other people’s language

Becoming aware of the impact of language

Having conversations about the impact of words

Curse words and disempowering beliefs

Words vs. how we say them

Words distract us from our energies

Our access to an abundance of movies and other types of content to consume is a double-edged sword. When movies are primarily consumed as an escape or distraction, we miss valuable opportunities to learn about ourselves and others. Why do we love our favorite movies and their characters? Why do we not enjoy certain types of movies? What is it about a particular scene that makes us feel a certain way? And how does that relate to the way we show up in our lives? In the comfort of our own home or a theater, we can experience a variety of emotions through movies. The movies are just a catalyst pointing us to something profound within us. It can be life-changing to relate to movies in this way.

The movies you’re drawn to

How are we resonating with movies?

Opportunity to reflect and learn about yourself and others

Disconnect from the movie characters we love

Movie magic, inspiration, and excitement as brainstorming

Sports can be powerful metaphors for all areas of life. What we love about experiencing sports often reveals what we want more of in life. However, the way we relate to sports changes over time as we grow wiser. This becomes an opportunity to integrate new perspectives holistically into the current games we play. 

Enjoying practice

Striving towards a common goal in a team

Metaphors to life

Correlation of business and sports

Overattachment to the outcome

Discipline isn’t enough

It’s not linear

What lights up your soul?

Intrinsic excitement, not results-driven

What’s your current relationship to technology? How are you using it? What’s your level of responsibility with it? As technology continues to blur the lines between the real and the artificial, remaining connected to our humanity becomes increasingly critical. As humans, it is essential for us to remain human, rather than becoming increasingly robotic and disconnected from ourselves and others.

Are you using the technology or is it using you?

General concerns with A.I.

Are we being mindful and intentional?

Individual responsibility with technology

What’s your ideal relationship to technology?

Letting go of old technology

Leading with curiosity

Emotional intelligence has become a buzzword used as a surface-level tactic for outward appearances. Without diving deep into the fundamental importance of EQ, organizations and individuals across the world are missing a huge opportunity in health and prosperity. Understanding emotional intelligence can be powerful as a start. But the greater challenge is embodying it, which will not happen simply through a few periodic courses and training.

Being hyper-focused on our agenda and missing the connection

Emotional Intelligence is our natural ability that we’ve blocked

The five elements of emotional intelligence

Although a popular buzzword, emotional intelligence is deep work

What are your boundaries and definitions?

Emotional intelligence is fundamental to being a healthy human being

Why would I grow in my emotional intelligence?

We’re not as self-aware as we think

Comparison is a natural tendency for humans. It can be used to inspire us or tear us down. Most often, subconsciously, we use comparison to self-sabotage, leaving us to play a small game and bring others down with us. The focus of most comparisons is typically the external material aspects of the world, such as money, status, and physical appearance. This feeds the scarcity mindset. But a scarcity mindset isn’t inherently wrong. What’s important is our awareness of when and why we are comparing.

Acknowledging your comparison

Using comparison for inspiration

Measuring stick to support goals

Unintentional disempowerment

Often, comparison concerns the tangible

Comparison feeds scarcity

Following curiosity

Stunting or expanding curiosity

Opportunities and reminders through comparison

We’ve been bombarded with limiting perspectives of love for generations. As a result, mental health issues are on the rise, dysfunctional relationships continue, and wars perpetuate. Much of our past conditioning has led us to believe that love is something to be found in the outside world. But all along, the secret to true, unconditional love was always within ourselves. Will humanity ever embrace a limitless and empowering perspective of love? Perhaps many generations from now. But it all starts now with each of us individually.

Conditioned perceptions of love

Unconditional and conditional love

Full acceptance of all

We aren’t fully accepting ourselves

The false trap of attraction

Your worst attributes have to be compatible

Romanticized love alone isn’t real life

Since we were young, our definition of success was highly influenced by our parents, culture, and community. In many cases, we didn’t strongly question the definition despite intuitive cues of misalignment. And so, the misalignment may have compounded feelings of resentment, self-doubt, or a lack of self-worth, for example. But how do you define success now? How are you getting in your own way of embodying that definition? Tune in as we discuss different perspectives on success to help widen your macro lens.

Our definition of success evolves over time

Macro vs. micro lens of success

What’s in the way of people becoming successful?

Can’t be successful if you never define what that means

We often don’t see the full picture

What’s the value of striving?

The ego’s shenanigans
