        “What you choose to feed your body is a result of how you choose to nourish your life.”
         
        “We think of our digestion and our nourishment as simply the drinks that we have, the food that we have, but you’re digesting all day long. And the most important things that you’re digesting are the things you don’t even connect to; like the words around you, the energy, what you’re viewing on social media, the podcast you’re listening to. All of those things, you are taking all of it on and that’s either feeding your or starving you.”
         
        “Our bodies are full, we’re over fed in many different ways, but we’re actually starving.”
         
        “I started to change who I was spending time with and I actually started to let people in that, at the time*, have been reaching out, but I looked at them as being better than who I was or where I was and I was afraid of being vulnerable enough to let them know how crappy I was doing.”  
         
        *The time she was in massive debt for her business and had overworked herself to getting sick the first time in her life.
         
        “I had very little money, but I had the things that were so abundant in my life you can’t buy with money.”
         
        “I always try to top level up with people who–it doesn’t mean they’re generating a ton of revenue, but they are just having conversations I am really drawn to–that are really helping me continue this development of who I am because it’s never going to end.”
         
        “I do not have everything figured out. . . and I’m glad I don’t because everything I’ve learned in this process of unraveling myself, of getting tired, of getting overwhelmed, it all helps me to then build up to that place where I get to be very proud and create content that I love.”
         
        “The fear is still there, the fear is always there. The difference now is that I know that I’m always going to land, and I may not always land on my feet, but I know I’m going to land.”
         
        “In the process of jumping when I’m not ready to landing where ever it is, the stuff I learned in between those two places–you can’t buy that.”

        My guest today is quickly becoming one of the world’s leading experts in stress and anxiety, he is the Anxiety Revolutionary himself, Tim JP Collins. I’ve known Tim for a few years and have witnessed his incredible growth and in many ways, he is a huge source of inspiration for starting this podcast.

        Tim is the host of The Anxiety Podcast, where he interviews people with stories everyone can relate to that are raw, real, and vulnerable. He is a highly sought speaker, on the topic of anxiety and injects humour and authentic stories from his own life into his speaking. As an Anxiety Coach, Tim believes that when we are out of alignment in our lives the more anxiety and stress show up.

        He is also the creator of The Anxiety Journal a book designed to get people to reflect and redesign their lives one day at a time.

        In this episode, we talk about how the origin of our anxiety is in our story, Tim’s panic attack that changed everything, how alignment impacts anxiety, the importance of self-care and taking time for yourself, and so much more.

        6. Meet Tim JP Collins:

          Tim JP Collins helps people overcome Anxiety & Stress to consider what is possible in their lives.  Tim’s approach isn’t just about coping, it’s about moving past Anxiety and fear to live the life you were destined for.

          Tim worked in the corporate world as a Vice President of Sales for 15 years, so is well versed in the business space.  After his own severe encounter with anxiety, he ultimately decided that life wasn’t for him.

          After following the traditional path of trying to fix his anxiety and failing, he started experimenting on himself, this created the drive for him to want to spread the message and his findings with the world.

          Tim is the creator & host of “The Anxiety Podcast” and is quickly becoming one of the leading experts when it comes to anxiety.

          Each week Tim interviews people that have stories that you will be able to relate to. The interviews are raw, real and vulnerable and people share what’s really going on for them. 

          With over half a million downloads the podcast is quickly building a community of people looking for support, that are changing their lives.

          Tim has also written “The Anxiety Journal” a book designed to get people to reflect and redesign their lives one day at a time

          Tim believes that the more out of alignment we are in our lives, the more Anxiety & Stress will show up.  So he really looks at the bigger picture when working with people.

          Tim is also a sought-after speaker on the topic of anxiety and injects humor and authentic stories from his own life into his speaking.

          When Tim isn’t speaking on the podcast or on stage he works with people in small intimate retreats around the world, facilitating change and helping people lean into the future with confidence, not fear.

          Tim has adopted a minimalist lifestyle and frequently travels with his young family.

              • 10: Leroy Milton: Pedestals, Breaking Cycles & Dancing with Fear

                Full Show Notes Available At: http://www.olivermanalese.com/10

                Today on the show we get an inside look at the journey of Leroy Milton, a badass coach, and co-founder of self-help comedy brand, 2HelpfulGuys. Hear about the intense amounts of physical pain that manifested from putting people on pedestals, the breakdown that led to breaking through his old fear-based cycles, and how he’s learned to be with fear instead of getting rid of it. There is so much to relate to in Leroy’s story and I know you will walk away with a fresh perspective on fear, change, and looking up to people in your own life. His honesty, bluntness, and depth is incredibly refreshing. Enjoy!

                    “I created the story in my head that unless I am that famous, I am that rich, I am that powerful, I am nothing. It’s all this unless. And all this ‘unless’ mentality made me feel not good enough in the eyes of anybody.”

                    “You might have idols, you might look up to people but don’t put them on pedestals because everyone has the exact same shit going on.”

                    “If the pain is too intense, something is going on.”

                    “The pain of staying the same has to outweigh the pain of change.”

                    “The fear is there to keep you in this safe comfortable position that is oddly enough, very uncomfortable.”

                    On Fear: “It’ll never go away, it’ll just get quieter.”

                    “I’m not good enough will forever live inside of me, it will forever be there. I just want to make it quieter.”

                    “Dance with the fear.” Seth Godin

                    Defining Success: “Being comfortable in the process that you are in right now, knowing that there is more ahead of you and you’ll get there as long as you stay true to yourself.”

                    “In order to change you have to feel that pain and when that pain becomes unbearable that’s when change really happens.”

                      • What it was like to have only 5-10% feeling and function of his upper body
                      • The moment he realized he couldn’t move his arms, neck or head
                      • The importance of going 100% until you can’t anymore
                      • How he took matters into his own hands after his diskectomy
                      • The role visualization played in his recovery and healing
                      • How his experience has led to a greater appreciation of everyone’s hidden stories

                      • How giving someone a ‘thank you’ card supports his reinvention
                      • Quotes:

                        “My intention at the end of the class is to have no energy left to see what my limits are.”

                        “I like going 100% until I can’t go 100% anymore.”

                        “In those moments when I am at my extreme limit, I always think back to the moment when I couldn’t feel anything in my upper body.”

                        “I’ve been so lucky doing all of these other things up until this point in my life, maybe it was my life catching up to me.”

                        “If I don’t go there visually, if I don’t have that picture of what it is that I ultimately want to achieve or look like, or person that I want to be, then it is so much more difficult to start.”

                        “I don’t look at it from a perspective of rebuilding because I don’t want to be who I was before. I have to reinvent.”

                        “Even though physically in the eyes of other individuals I appear to be recovered, in shape and strong, emotionally, I still feel as though I’m paralyzed.”

                        “If I could take 25% of the physical gains and transfer that to my emotional self I would be more of a complete person.”

                        “If I can advance myself emotionally even a fraction of the way I’ve advanced myself physically, what kind of person would I look like?”

                        “I’m growing and I’m trying to have a better understanding of who I am as an emotional human being.”

                          • Quotes:

                            “Now or never. This is not who I am. This is not what I want. And I need to make a change. And I need to make a big change.”

                            “I knew if I stayed and continued what I was doing I wouldn’t have made it out alive somehow.”

                            “Our job as adults is to learn our children’s gifts and how to bring them out”

                            “I wasn’t good at tests but I knew I was good at following something inside of me that was different than what I saw around me. But it felt like a lifeline.”

                            “When everything around me told me I couldn’t, shouldn’t, “don’t I dare,” I had to listen to that little pin-prick, pencil dot, of hope.”

                            “Follow that pin-prick of light, even if it’s scary as hell. Follow that and the rest will unfold.”

                            “There’s so much noise around us all the time, even in the small choices, if we just tuned in just a little more to our own voice, or intuition, every day, our lives would be so much richer.”

                            “No matter how bad it looks, no matter how scary it is, it’s going to be okay as long as I honour who I am.”

                            “Okay, I want that car in my driveway. What am I going to give to the world that I deserve that car? How much value am I going to put out? Who am I going to help today? What lives am I going to change? If I’m not out there changing lives, I don’t deserve that car on my driveway.”

                            “The women are the weavers and we are the ones who are going to get this mess of a world in order.”

                            “Women are the weavers of communities, families, relationships, of the world.”

                            6. Meet Philip McKernan:

                              Philip is an Inspirational Speaker, Writer, and Filmmaker. Philip works with entrepreneurs and business leaders all over the world. When people are seeking clarity about their future or want to move through roadblocks, seen and unseen, they call Philip. As a speaker he has inspired and challenged the Canadian Olympic Team and The Pentagon to name a few.

                              He helps people get clear on who they are and where they need to go. He helps them transition in their personal and professional lives so people feel aligned in all areas of life. Philip believes who and what we do ‘off the ice’ has a huge impact on our results ‘on the ice’.

                              What separates Philip from a lot of coaches, speakers and gurus is originality. He brings new conversations to the table and spends an obscene amount of time thinking and challenging the status quo, instead of simply repackaging business & life hacking strategies. Philip McKernan is a philosopher, a modern day philosopher of the human experience.

                              With a knack of getting into all sorts of scenarios – he’s caddied in golf for the President of Ireland, been chased and nearly killed by a bull elephant in Nigeria and made wine in Australia. He has traveled to 80 countries around the globe and has worked with orphans in Sri Lanka, Peru, India and Guatemala, written 4 books despite being dyslexic and his first documentary film will be released in late 2016. The film explores how the gift of giving makes up feel more worthy and alive. It also explores the science behind the impact of giving on our emotional well being, our mental health, our physiology and our business’s.

                              Philip believes the path to a happy and fulfilling life is found through the meaning we derive in life through the WORK we do, our relationship to OTHERS and the most important relationship of all, the one with ones SELF.

                              What You’ll Learn:
                              • The importance of having difficult conversations now to avoid challenges years down the road
                              • The incessant need to put people on a pedestal and what that means and says about us as human beings

                              • Why some people can pay thousands of dollars and travel thousands of miles for the clarity they do not want
                              • The pain of not doing what he was meant to do on this planet… The catalyst for Philip’s coaching career
                              • Having two years with no income, $200 in his pocket, and the courage to begin his coaching practice
                              • One-on-one sessions in Irish pubs and how Philip discovered his gift and passion for coaching
                              • The value in saying “no” to more
                              • Distinguishing talent vs gift
                              • Quotes:

                                  Rachael Lynn is a creator who helps adults and girls alike believe that their dreams are valid.

                                  With experience in both the corporate world and entrepreneurship, she now knows there’s no right or wrong path – but there ARE small, specific actions we need to take to feel fulfilled.

                                  Rachael is on a mission to help men + women who want MORE out of life create play and creativity where they believe none exists. She supports those adults who gave up on the things they loved to find the time and space to do them again – which helps them be even more productive in their work (or turn what they love into their job).

                                  AND, as a Director of Possibility Camp, a camp for girls 8-13 years old based in Toronto, Canada – she supports our future female leaders in building self confidence, self love, and the skills to get ahead – resilience, design thinking, teamwork, and leadership.
