Self-Growth Nerds

Letting yourself shine is a challenge when the people around you are keeping themselves small. Just like dreaming big feels impossible or even dangerous when you've been told you cannot be or do something all your life. What if you were born to be a trail blazer? What if you are meant to be the first in your family, in your circle of friends or in your work place to do things differently?

Your inner voice (or intuition, heart, soul) keeps trying to guide you towards a more joyful life... but we have forgotten how to listen and don't have to tools to deal with the discomfort of actually following its guidance. In this episode, I explore how to quiet your racing mind so you can hear your deepest desires and discuss what it means to take action from that place.

If you are stuck at zero motivation and "positive thinking" has not worked for you, listen to this bonus episode to learn the 3 surface solutions that will NOT help you feel motivated in the long-term and what will be much more powerful instead.

How often do you keep yourself from doing or saying something because you're afraid of how people will react? In this episode, I explore how you can follow your dreams without letting your fears of offending, being judged or feeling embarrassed get in the way of achieving success. At the end of the day, fear is very often a sign that you are growing in the right direction.

Outdoor adventure is a unique opportunity for personal growth and what we learn in the wilderness can empower us in our "real life." In this episode, Allison Boyle and I explore how to find fulfillment and freedom by going towards what scares us and committing fully, no matter our uncomfortable we might feel.

Creating a more epic and fulfilling life isn't just about going on more adventures - but also about being able to move through emotional discomfort to see what's on the other side. How would you blow your own mind if you could feel all of your feelings? These are the questions I bring up in this week's episode.

Hopping from one job or career to another as a way to find more happiness is a popular strategy with very disappointing results. Once the novelty of change wears off, you are often left with a new kind of dissatisfaction. If you don't treat the problem at the source, you'll exhaust yourself trying to chase something that doesn't exist. Listen to this week's episode to learn how to generate fulfilment whatever job you are in.

For many of us, there's a desire to settle down that becomes stronger at some point in our life and feels contradictory to our multi passionate and adventurous nature. I believe that this need for security and for foundations that will support you in the future CAN 100% COEXIST with your need for flexibility, meaning and fulfillment. I explain why in this episode.

Getting things done well and on time for others is so easy for some of us high-achievers. But when comes time to do something meaningful just for ourselves, why do we fall through? In this week's episode, I explore how we can learn to show up for ourselves with more love, consistency and integrity. It really is possible to finish what you start.

The world sometimes feels as though it is crumbling these days; and feeling good can be a challenge. Sometimes because we struggle to figure out how to help and other times because we don't want to be insensitive. In this week's episode, I explore topics like what to do when you feel guilty about your joy in the current climate and how to know whether or not to take action on a specific issue.
