We talk about:

• Her mantra, “Release2Receive”:
• • “I intend to release old mindsets and old patterns of behavior, so that I can have room to receive what is meant for me.”
• The importance of (and difficulty in) being willing to let go of the old in order to create space for the new.
• Why Marie Kondo’s method of “Does it bring you joy?” is only part of the solution.
• Tackling your life & your struggles “One shelf at a time.”
• Just because you’re a positive person and generally think positively about yourself - doesn’t mean that you truly love and value yourself.
• Why valuing yourself is the prerequisite to making meaningful change in your life.

Jeff II - Wait For Me

https://youtu.be/YuBBSQI2XDQ

I talk about:

• A hard conversation I had with Jessie about a really difficult situation in our relationship - that is the root of a lot of on-going frustrations/pain.
• Mentioning to a client that “we heal in an environment of compassion” and having it catch me off guard & really hitting me in the feels.
• How compassion is the simplest solution - to literally all of our problems!
• The almost poetic despair of the connection between “compassion” and “human suffering.”
• Why compassion is so difficult for us as humans. (Hint: The prerequisite is vulnerability which is really fucking scary.)
• How we always have the ability to change the world, but realizing that it starts with us in each and every moment and every interaction we have with another human.

Jeff II - Wait For Me

https://youtu.be/YuBBSQI2XDQ

In this episode I talk about:

• My fascination with creating; taking mere mind-matter and creating a real, tangible thing is a beautiful process.
• The conception of Beacon Doughnuts (and why it’s so meaningful and informative to creating a life that you love.)
• Jessie telling me I wasn’t going to start shit (and why this was a critical piece of the process.)
• The fun & ridiculous details of what Beacon encountered from ideation to opening a brick-and-mortar location.
• How to use this story as a blueprint for creating whatever you want in your life.

In today's episode we talk about:

• Freshly baked bread… with a slab of butter… while really high… is the greatest thing ever - and essentially why Beacon Doughnuts exists.
• How college is NOT the only option and path to success. (We have a combined debt well over $100k and neither of us needed any of it to get to what we’re doing today.)
• Why you shouldn’t go to culinary school for career reasons.
• Why “don’t worry about it” (a line fed to high school students and their parents thinking about taking out student loans) should be considered a crime.
• What it’s like learning on the job, in the real world, compared to what you learn in the classroom + learning the value of hard work through experience and having no other option.
• Saying fuck the food industry! ...only to have me proposition him with starting a donut shop a year after leaving that world.
• Scrapping together operation “Back Alley” donuts (starting a biz from the ground up is wayyy less glamorous than it seems.)
• The importance of not being afraid to figure things out and being resourceful when starting a business. Oh, and BE PATIENT - worthwhile shit takes time to come to fruition.

In today’s episode I talk about:

• Loving the aggressive nature of contact sports (football, lacrosse, hockey) but feeling totally out of place in locker room.
• Feeling different, isolated, misunderstood, even “broken.”
• Wishing I could just be reading a book or discussing the meaning of life… instead of experimenting with drugs or talking about messing around with girls.
• The deeply disturbing impact of witnessing pain & violence and it’s visceral effect on me.
• Realizing that my sensitivity was my gift and doubling down on it after a lifetime of downplaying it and not giving it the recognition it deserved.

In this episode we talk about:

• Realizing that not everyone has a panic attack in their car before driving to work.
• How complaining & unhappiness is normalized - “that’s life, just suck it up!”
• Her “normal” of anxiety, depression, and sickness.
• Giving up the financial stability and cushion of office jobs because, “I would rather go forward into the dark unknown.”
• The first steps to take for overcoming unhappiness.
• Life all of a sudden feels easy when you embrace who you are instead of resisting like a motherfucker.
• Her tips on embracing your empathic, sensitive side in a way that feels good. (Including one that I never even knew/used for myself!)
• Wanting empaths and HSPs to know that they aren’t alone and that embracing their sensitivity and being themselves is the source of their power and what makes them amazing.
