Where are you feeling stuck in life?
We all have an "Epic Challenge" - an area in our lives where we're feeling stuck, where we're not enjoying the experience and are having a hard time changing things. 
In today's episode I'm sharing with you my most recent Epic Challenge which was creating a lot of stress and frustration in my life. I'm peeling back the layers on what I go through to face my challenges, and the people and processes that I've brought into my life to help me.

How To Balance Out Your Health And Fitness In A Holistic and Sustainable Way (HIA Classic)

What shame are you hiding?
Fellas, this episode is for you.
As a man, I've carried with me different types of shame through my life that have had a big impact on how I see the world and operate in it. I learned early on that burying my shame and pretending it wasn't there was the safest way for me to operate.
The truth is, it's not.
And for me, it took years of living in denial and robbing myself of true joy and fulfillment, that finally helped me see that.
In today's episode we're tackling a topic that lives within many men -- shame. I'm pulling from various sources here to help you understand shame, watch how it plays out in the lives of men like you, and see how other men are choosing to face it.
My intention with this episode is that it inspires you to look into those dark corners of yourself where you have been hiding your shame, and finally choose to bring it out into the light.
Do you want some support or coaching on overcoming your shame? Email me and take the next step towards eliminating shame from your life - matthew@matthewbivens.com.

Overcoming Male Shame: Stories And Wisdom On How Men Can Finally Eliminate Their Shame (HIA Classic)

What does it take to create an episode of the Having It A.L.L. podcast? 
If you’ve ever asked yourself that question then you’ll love today’s episode!
I was recently asked by a friend, “How do you continue coming up with ideas for your podcast after 8 years and 500 episodes?”.
It was a great question and one that got me thinking about sharing with you a behind the scenes look of what it takes to create an episode of the show as well as keep the podcast going for years to come.

What does your calendar say about your priorities? 
Whether you use an online calendar, a paper calendar, or simply store all of your appointments and todos in your head (which is impressive!), you have some sort of way of divvying out your most precious resource -- your time!
Where you invest your time says A LOT about what you prioritize!
A common trait of people who feel fulfilled in life and who “have it all” is that they regularly make time for the people, environments and things they value the most. 
In today’s episode I talk about what your calendar says about the level of fulfillment you may or may not be experiencing in your life, and I give you a few simple action items that can help you experience more joy and fulfillment this week!

What Does Your Calendar Say About Your Priorities?

How comfortable are you saying "no" in your life? 
So many of us struggle with saying no when people make requests of our time, space, energy, money, or love. We want to please. We want others to like us. We don't want to be seen as unhelpful or unavailable. 
In today's episode I talk about the challenge of saying "no", and give you very concrete and actionable tips for strengthening that muscle within you.
