Rewriting Reality, With Chase Tolleson

If what we think is articulated by our words, both internally - the stories we tell ourselves about ourselves, and externally, the words we choose to use in conversation, which then shape our belief systems that carry out our (in)actions, the same could be said with the way we approach injuries, right?

Our guest today is the leading professional in alternative approaches to Athletic Therapy and injury rehabilitation. Megan Pomarensky holds a Master’s in Rehabilitation Science, is a Certified Athletic Therapist (Canada), Certified Functional Strength Coach and Certified Vinyasa Yoga Instructor (250hrs). Some of current accolades include being the Teaching Assistant in Craig Liebenson’s First Principles of Movement Mentorship, being on the Canadian Athletic Therapists’s Association Board of Certification [National Certification Exam Development] and at the University of Winnipeg Athletic Therapy program she's the practical skills lab instructor for various courses.

She's been sought after by legends in the strength and conditioning world like Mike Boyle as well as the Journal of Athletic Training to publish her works on the science of rehabilitation and is absolutely disrupting the current system that feeds on keeping people in a victim mindset about injury rehabilitation. She says there's another way and in today's show, we find out how her approach is helping dig people out from under the pile of rubble left in the wake of the victim mentality in the athletic performance world. Here are some show highlights. This one's a banger, dudes. Here are the highlights:

• Megan's story (3:45)
• The value in down-regulating the parasympathetic nervous system (9:54)
• The current system of recovery is broken (15:08)
• How to really deal with pain (23:07)
• Breathe, listen and chill (41:37)
• Action dispels overwhelm: (47:47)

When we think of abundance, oftentimes the things that come to mind are words like riches and wealth and prosperity. We rarely think of having a fulfilling life purpose or mission to guide us to something bigger than ourselves. Our community, our spiritual practice, our relationships. Relationships with our brothers. Relationships with our partners. Relationships with ourselves.

Our guest today is a leader who's reconnected the meaning of abundance to living a truly fulfilling life. What if health was just as important as wealth in living an abundant lifestyle?

It took Jason Pickard nearly dying to learn that lesson, as a weather trader at one of the biggest firms on Wall Street, he thought he had it all by just 27 years of age. Penthouse, cars, clothes - anything money could buy... and he still was unhappy. Overweight, stressed out and on his death bed, he decided to prioritize himself. A dedicated spiritual practice, daily intentional movement and a commitment to eating healthy and spending time with loved ones were just some of the things that saved his life. And now he's created a course to show you how to achieve abundance in your life too. The Abundance Archetype is designed to teach men how to harmonize the worlds of investing and personal wellness at a level of mastery that only years of training with the very best spiritual teachers learning the ancient traditions could teach you. Our conversation with Jason dives deep into everything he's put into this program to help you achieve mastery over your life.

Here are some of the highlights:

• The Etymology of the word Abundance (0:37)
• The scarcity mindset and the relationship between health and success (5:33)
• "Why aren't I happy?": Jason's thoughts on happiness (10:37)
• History lesson on the Caste System (15:43)
• Jason's "aha" moment (26:50)
• The big secret: do what you loved to do as a kid (36:08)
• You don't have to leave your job to find happiness (41:17)
• Ways to say yes (46:41)
