  • Pivotal Moments. The Discovery Phase W/ Cait Madry.

    It’s sometimes tough to walk on a journey of sobriety. Usually, someone needs to change their friend circles, leave their families, and have a total turnover of their tempting environments. If you are still struggling with drinking, you know from deep down in your heart that who you are is not the person you are supposed to be. However, you can change that because everyone’s sobriety journey is different. There’s no defined moment that is the only way to stop drinking.

    You can have a turnaround in your life if you make your decision now. What you have been missing is really encouragement and someone to hold up your hand and lead you to the light of who you are. Consequently, someone’s story could be the only thing you have been missing to trigger you to take that leap of faith. Today, Cait Madry is changing the world with her sobriety story at 28. Join me as we discover her journey, her drinking escapades, the pivotal moments, and how life has been since quitting alcohol.

    Cait founded Clearheaded, a company she uses to teach people how to be social, sober and de-stigmatize being a non-drinker. It’s tough to walk in sobriety, but it gets better when you get in the company of positive people. She is also the host of CLEARHEADED: your sober-care podcast. She reveals her real-time sober lessons and features several guests on the show who share their unique moments of clarity surrounding their choice to become sober.

    • S4.M6. Chop Wood and Carry Water.

      We all set new year goals and resolutions but hardly do we develop a plan. Other people never set goals. They only have wishes and hopes. The truth is a goal with a plan has a higher chance of succeeding than one which does not have one. Actually, over 80% of people forget their goals within the first quarter of the year. The others struggle to achieve them if they do not have a well-laid plan. In this episode, Jay highlights a new mindset you need to make 2023 the best year of your life.

      To ‘chop wood and carry water’ means setting your goal, determining the price for that goal, and then resolving to pay the price. It demands continuous effort, time, and energy toward what you want. When you take on somebody going in the woods, they bring their axe, make the decision, and they put in all the required resources, but their goal is to get firewood. They know the price it takes and what it demands to pay it. Chopping wood is a process that you should be committed to. You have to let go of some habits, desires, and relationships.

      Join the conversation with your host, Jay Chase, as he shares the process you need to achieve your 2023 goals. Know what you can do to change your life and hit your goals.

      Notable Quotes
      • “At the end of the day, we are accountable to ourselves. Our success is a result of what we do.”
      • “Most people who set new year goals never make a plan to achieve them.”
      • “Set your goal, determine what the price is and resolve yourself to pay the price.”
      • “Do not just be prepared. You must be equipped to navigate the uncertainties of life, because change is inevitable.”
      • “You are the author of your life because you are the only person who can determine your life’s trajectory. How high or far you go is a result of your decisions.”
      • “A goal with a plan and determination of persistence has better chances of succeeding.”
      • “Our success is a result of what we do.”
      • “We get the outcome from the process.”

        Discovering who you are is not a one-day event. It takes time and effort. It is a process that requires you to unlearn some things, discover new mindsets and walk a different path from what you have been used to. Once you discover who you are, you have to uncover what you need to push forward to the next step. The kind of relationships you need and the habits you need to drop should be well-defined. Only then can you recover the time and life you lost before meeting your real self.

        • Pivotal Moments. Anything You Desire is Possible W/ Claire Guidon.

          Imagine a world where anything you desire is possible and your wildest dreams come true. It sounds like a fantasy, but it's not. The main ingredient to living this dream is the power of your mind and will. One day at a time, our thoughts create our reality, and we can use that as an advantage to live the life we want! You are the master of your own destiny, and anything is possible. There are no limits to what you can accomplish, and it doesn't require any special skills, opportunities, or money. If you want something, all you have to do is take the first step in your journey toward success.

          The difference between the people who believe nothing is impossible and those that never try is a mindset. One has the belief that they will not fail, while the other has a fear of failure. Those who think they will not fail have high expectations and will put in 100% to succeed. This person will be more likely to take risks, have a positive mindset and be persistent. Oftentimes, people with a positive mindset know that they have what it takes to succeed. They are more likely to try new things, learn and adjust their way of thinking. People with a negative mindset think the opposite - that they will never be able to accomplish anything because of the fear of failure that's holding them back.

          Join this conversation with Claire Guindon, a digital nomad who has created her life at a young age. She spends her life traveling the world, doing adventures, and living her purpose. Whether you are 16 or 61, you can create a life that brings fulfillment. Listen to Claire’s story and inspiration.

          Notable Quotes
          • “ Your life is the average of the lives of people you choose to surround yourself with.”
          • “The other side of fear is freedom. You have to put freedom over fear.”
          • “Serving others brings you fulfillment; the highest form of self-love is service and inspiration to others.”
          • “Never ask the advice of someone with whom you wouldn't want to trade places.”
          • “Mindset is the only difference between a person who believes nothing is impossible and never tries because of the fear of failure.”
          • “If you can believe it, you will achieve it. Nothing will come to mind that we can’t achieve.”
          • "If you believe you can do it and put in the time and effort, then there's no reason why you can't."
          • “Everything you go through prepares you to be a better leader who helps someone else.”
          • “There’s a point in life where we stop being seekers and become doers.

            • S4.M3. Maintenance.

              Your voice is meant to be heard, and your development is intended to be protected. It is not worth it to lower your guard and give in at the expense of some good character you have been building for a long. You should rise above the temptations of friends and family. It’s your life that matters, and not their views about who you are.

              You did not come this far just for the sake. So, it is worth protecting your values, your character, and your morals, even if it means losing your friends and sometimes family. Get some tools and tricks to protect and maintain who you are, no matter your environment.

              Join the conversation with your host, Jay Chase, as he shares what to do, how to do it, and how to maintain your personal and character development during this holiday and with friends. You may be recovering from an addiction to something, and this festive season can make you lower your guard. Learn some tips on what to do and what not to do.

              Notable Quotes
              • “You have come too far to lower your guard and give in to pleasures of other people. It is not a crime to protect the character you have been building.”
              • “You did not come to this far, just for the sake of coming to this far. It is, therefore, worth protecting your character, morals, and values with everything you have.”
              • “You do not have to follow the scripted traditions of your family that jeopardize your character. You can create your own tradition. Remember, you are unique as a person.”
              • “Your decision to change will affect your circle of friends in two ways. They will either accommodate your change or leave you. It is always for your good when they leave. Rejoice.”
              • “NO is a complete sentence. If they ask you to explain, don’t. It’s them that have a problem in understanding English, not you.”

It is also for anyone who has begun the process of sobriety, but maybe the journey seems impossible. Madeline is here to encourage you with a story of her life and how she has managed to be sober for two years now and still counting. She advises that a meaningful life is waiting to open doors for you in the best possible way once you put the bottle down. The truth is that it’s hard and scary but what lies ahead is worth the struggle.

                • S4.M1. No More Survival Mode.

                  Survival mode is a state of mind. It is an emotion, a feeling, or an experience. It can also be seen as living or existing in spite of an accident, difficulty, or an ordeal circumstance. In any crisis, it can be challenging to move from survival mode to thriving mode. However, with support and guidance from those who have experienced it, the process can be easy for anyone to make. All you have to do is know what you want, make decisions that are going to position you to get what you want or who you want to be, and then change your circle of influence to help you get there. Your level of success is depended on the status of your exposure, so continually expand your exposure.

                  Join the conversation with your host, Jay Chase, as he shares what survival mode is, how it shows up, and how it can be defeated. You can go from surviving to thriving because it is just a mindset.

                  Notable Quotes

                  • “We cross the thriving line to the survival mode once we fail to pick up our critical thinking skills but dwell on our past habits of destruction.”
                  • “Survival mode is living or existing in spite of an accident, difficulty or an ordeal circumstance.”
                  • “The principle of intentionality demands us to be responsible for the life we desire. We must be intentional in the decisions we make that will propel us to our destiny.”
                  • “Once you get clear with what we want, the world will present to you a clarity of the direction you will need to follow.”
                  • “Do not just think of yourself when you are making decisions. It may be private, but it will never be personal. Every decision you make will affect at least three people in your circle.”
                  • “Get rid of friends who are not helping you evolve to a new self.”
                  • “Your level of success is dependent on the level of your exposure. If you are the smartest person in the room, leave the room.”

                  • Bonus Mindset. People Change.

                    People Change, Things Change, And Situation Change

                    Change is inevitable, and everything that comes in life changes. Nothing is permanent. Things change, situation change, and people change. Sometimes for the better, sometimes for the worse. Change is a part of life, and we all need to accept that and use it to our advantage. Often, we will not have control over change, but the most beautiful thing is that we can design our response and move to a greater height. With every change, there is a silver lining and something we can leverage to get to the other side.

                    When we learn to embrace change, the person we have become, and the people around us, we become intentional and inspired to change. Growth and transformation is a choice. We have to make a decision to change. We have to choose to make our life better. Whether we're trying to reposition ourselves, start a new career, or change our lifestyles for the better, we have to be intentional about it.

                    Join the conversation with your host, Jay Chase, as he shares more about change and how we can drive and embrace change to transform our lives. Change will come, and we must be deliberate about how we use it to make our life better.

                    Notable Quotes
                    • “Find out who you’re in this season and do it on purpose and create your hero story.”
                    • “Everything that comes in life changes and there is always something that we can leverage to get to the other side.”
                    • “If you see enough, if you learn enough, you’ll be inspired to change.”
                    • “Your level of success will be determined by your level of exposure; you don’t know what is possible because you haven’t seen it done.”
                    • “As humans, if we receive enough, we’re able to change.”
                    • “If you don’t design your life, somebody else will, and they might not have much for you.”
