Do The Thing

Support and engagement from your early years laid the groundwork for how you accept and receive love today. What if you did the thing and leaned into what is true right now to heal your attachment wounds?

Today I sat down with Kate Middleton, Somatic Therapist, to learn about attachment styles and why they matter. Are you an anxious, avoidant, disorganized, or secure attachment type? Knowing the answer will tremendously help as you seek out soothing and safety in relationships. Listen as Kate explains the different attachment styles and how they relate to dating, connections, and relationships.

Perfectionism is an impossible feat. But you should still strive to be the best possible you. What if you learned to put yourself first to overcome adversity?

Today, I chatted with Heather Johnson—Nurse Practitioner and Beachbody Coach—about her impressive body transformation. Gymnastics and athleticism always played a vital role in Heather's life. She always strived for that elusive "Perfect 10." But after leaving the sport, getting married, and having kids, she fell into a dark place. Would an 80-day fitness and nutrition challenge be enough to pull her out?

Here's how Heather transformed her mind and body and became a Beachbody coach in the process.

Trying new things is frightening. The fear of the unknown always looms in the background. But what if you finally realized that it's actually scarier to do nothing?

I got to talk with Morgan Saied about how she turned a passion for science into a successful coloring book side hustle. Growing up, she navigated the world with ADD and dyslexia, never shying away from anything scary. Her hard work and determination paid off, becoming both a vet tech and a middle school teacher. But she still wanted to offer her students and fellow educators something more. Could she create something meaningful to help everyone learn?

Here's how Morgan followed her gut—and the encouragement of enthusiastic 6th graders—to draw and sell science coloring books.

Many people put off doing the thing because they think it's the wrong moment. But now is always the time. Imagine what you could accomplish if you pulled yourself out of the rut and took action.

Today, I got to meet Betsy Pake—Neurolinguistic Programming and Hypnotherapy Trainer—to dissect what made her try something different after many years. Like all mothers, she would do anything for her child. And when she saw her daughter struggling, Betsy decided it was time to make a change. Would starting another business be enough to spark a substantial emotional shift for them both?

Here's how Betsy created her own path and did the thing to help her daughter and others.

In this episode, Betsy alludes to how she uses these points of the Do The Thing Formula:

As you lie on your deathbed, will your biggest regret be that you only lived to please others? It's time to start living a life that's true to you. But how can you Do The Thing that will light your soul on fire?

I sat down with Gregory Benedikt—President of Toastmasters, Personal Life Coach, and Co-host of The Dare To Dream Podcast—to unveil the answer. He did the "right" thing and landed a job as a financial analyst for a real estate investment firm. But he felt unfulfilled. Instead of living with regret, he sought out voluntary discomfort and quit.

A women's body goes through more changes during pregnancy than a man's body will ever experience in his entire lifetime. Yet, many moms experience a loss of identity during the various stages of motherhood. How can they get the strength to grow, persevere, and thrive?

I got personal with Lisa Druxman, Chief Founding Mom of FIT4MOM, to find out the answer. After giving birth to her first child, working out became a top priority. But she didn't want to leave her son in the gym's daycare. A workout idea and a few flyers later, Lisa realized she wasn't alone.

Here's how a lightbulb moment during a stroller walk, a local news story, and the need to connect with other moms inspired Lisa to launch a nationwide prenatal and postnatal fitness program.

In this episode, Lisa discloses how these pieces of the Do The Thing formula helped her create a tightly-knit community for moms in every stage of motherhood:

Too many people go to jobs they despise day in and day out. Instead of changing their paths, they remain unhappy and unfulfilled. But what if you turned something you love into a career instead?

I chatted with Olia Majd—a well-known style/beauty blogger and influencer—to learn why she unapologetically decided to follow her dreams. Unhappy with a job in accounting, she knew it was time to leave and pave her way to something bigger and better. But would she be able to turn her hobby into a full-time career? Here's how Olia left her job, discovered her passion, and became her own boss as a blogger and influencer.

Got an itch you're afraid to reach? Regret is what happens when you don't lean into fear. Imagine if you stopped ignoring that burning itch and found a way to scratch it instead.

I chatted with Megan Snedden, Founder of The Kind Effect, to learn why she finally stopped caring about racking up titles and decided to care about something else. Although she grew up in a traditional Midwest family, Megan never wanted to follow a prescribed path. Instead, she desired to see the world, connect with people, and deliver joy—even if that meant walking the streets of NYC in an absurd dinosaur costume.

Here's how Megan followed her ever-winding path to become a travel journalist, marketing guru, and random acts of kindness advocate.

In this episode, Megan dives into these pivotal pieces of the Do The Thing formula:

Time is finite. But quality time is infinite. What's keeping you from being more patient, connected, and present with those in your life?

Today, I sat down with Jim Sheils—Co-Founder of 18 Summers and Founder of JAX Wealth Investments—to learn why he emphasizes quality time over quantity of time. After falling in love with his wife and her two sons, Jim found himself with an instant family. But would he be able to mesh their worlds to form a tightly-knit family unit?

Did you know public speaking is the number one fear? Communication is essential to building skills and relationships. But too many people are afraid to speak up and give feedback. What if you developed a repetition mindset to build this critical skill?

Today, I sat down with Paul Rising to discover how joining Toastmasters changed his perspective on public speaking. As a former Marine, Border Patrol Officer, and current cybersecurity guru, Paul learned the importance of clear, concise communication and a "slow is fast" mindset. But would these skills transfer to other areas of his life?

Here's how Paul became a more confident public speaker and why he wants to ask strangers three questions.
