PUSH

As we begin the new year, Eddie and I want to share some thoughts on manifesting your way into bigger things and the next realm of your life.

In order to successfully manifest your best year yet, you have to get rid of negative thoughts. 

Negative energy and self-doubt consume you and get in the way of abundance. Getting rid of them will set you up to dream bigger and better things.

If you are new to manifestation, you may find it strange at first, but the reality of this practice often revolves around working to overcome our self-limiting beliefs.

Nothing will come to you magically, but if you follow the steps we outline in this episode, we believe you’ll have your best year in 2023.

Tune in, and let’s manifest our dreams.

Pssst, listen for how to get a free 90-Day Guide To Gratitude, Productivity, and Growth Journal.

In this episode, Eddie and I will share a framework to help you gain a greater awareness of the wins and struggles of the passing year.

In 2023, we need to start working on the inventory of habits and behaviors that we want to leave behind, the things we want to keep, and the things we need to be grateful for.

What are the key things we need to start working on to improve our levels of awareness for next year?

Pay close attention to this episode because we’ll teach you how to reach a point of reflection on the things that you definitely want to leave behind in 2022.

We’ll do a very practical exercise to develop the right set of skills and strengths that everyone needs to turn the page and move into a new chapter of their lives.

Everyone has an opinion about how they were raised and what their parents could have done differently.

In most cases, we can all agree that parents just tried to do their best even when it didn’t appear as so.

In fact, when we become parents ourselves, we start to understand some of their decisions.

The point of this episode is to encourage everyone listening to find solace in the fact that you can’t change how you were raised, but you can use it to your advantage because that’s where the power is.

We also talk about mental health in light of the heartbreaking news of DJ tWitch’s death through suicide.

Is it ever okay to lie to someone?

This is the conversation we are having in today’s episode.

We are joined by my dad, who will, out of nowhere, bring attention to someone’s insecurity and lie to them that they look great.

In his defense, he says it’s not a lie but a way to uplift someone and make their day. Lying is when you intentionally try to deceive someone from the truth.

But is a little white lie here and there to uplift someone and make them feel good acceptable? Where do we draw the line, then?

This is the debate we are having in this episode, and as you’ll be hearing, we can’t seem to agree.

So, we want your help…. tune in to the episode, and then let us know what you think in the comments or on our socials!

Key Takeaways

- Attending Kevin Hart and Elton John events (04:11)

- The moral dilemma of uplifting someone through a lie (07:17)

- Giving honest feedback (15:35)

- How long would you go without a lie (17:17)

- Where to draw the line (20:54)

If you've been a long-time listener of the PUSH podcast, you must have heard us talk about our painful experience from the 2008 economic downturn.

We went through a lot to the point of filing for bankruptcy and almost losing our home. We were in a really vulnerable place.

Now in 20222, going to 2023, there are some indications that we might get into an economic downturn. Big companies such as Amazon, Meta, and others are announcing massive layoffs.

This means that, unfortunately, some people will lose their jobs and experience a lot of economic hardships.

Some of the younger generations who have entered the workforce in the bear market have not experienced the fallout from an economic downturn.

In this episode, Eddie shares some tips on how to overcome the hardships of a poor economy.

In the end, everything will be fine if you don't allow yourself to fall into negative thought patterns that remove you from opportunities that may be ahead of you.

Tune in to this episode for some tips on how best to equip yourself during this time.

This episode is about expectations that get you in trouble. Probably as much as 99% of the stuff you are angry about in life is your problem because you have wrong expectations. 

There are some things we generally consider disappointing:

- when people are unkind

- when people take advantage of others (especially those who are less able)

- when people tear down the success of others

- when people think that they're owed something

- when your kids or spouse make a bad choice that impacts your family

But today, we're talking about the disappointments we face due to a lack of sharing our expectations and communicating them.  Especially when it comes to relationships, partnerships, friendships… 

Because just because you expected something or someone to be/behave in a certain way doesn't make it OK for you to be super disappointed if they are not. 

So, do you have invisible expectations? Are your expectations too high? 

We hope this episode will motivate you to check your expectations in any sphere of your life - yourself, your marriage, your job, your loved ones... Maybe it’s time to change some of the things you expect. 

Or it’s time for some tough conversations and redefining relationships with some people. Or you should go look and explore other employment opportunities.

Also, if you’re taking things for granted (like expecting that no one you love will die or that you won’t catch a severe illness), maybe it’s time to slow down and be grateful.

It will also help you avoid falling into the trap of victimhood when some devastating and disappointing things happen.

There are so many reasons to tune in for this episode.

Let’s dive in right now!

Key Takeaways

- Intro (00:00)

- Where would Martin Luther King be without Caretta? (02:11)

Whether we like it or not, social media are definitely shaping our reality in many ways. Whether we’re looking for information or entertainment, they are inevitable parts of our life. 

And not only are they parts of our lives, but they also affect our behavior. Sometimes we want to get approvals online, sometimes we compare ourselves to other people, or we have to deal with attacks, or we do things to make people like us… 

Many of us have fallen into the trap of social media, trying to adapt our behavior to the expectations of unknown people out there. 

Don’t get us wrong - we don’t say it’s OK to be impolite or rude to anyone. We just want to point out the strong desire to be accepted that many people have - and losing yourself in the process.

And that’s the topic of this episode. So tune in as we discuss the pains of not being your authentic self. 

Key Takeaways

- Intro (00:00)

- What you should (not) do when you can’t pronounce someone’s name correctly (01:09)

- Why don't we talk about vagina health? (05:52)

- Social media is lighting up these days (10:35)

- When you're on social media too much… (15:40)

- Is competition more prevalent in women than in men? (20:16)

- How do you equip your kids, so they’re not looking for approval? (25:31)

- If you’re code-switching constantly, then who are you? (28:59)

- What is a cognitive burden? (34:44)
