Self-Growth Nerds

Why is it that we prefer disappointing ourselves to be nice to others? How would our life transform if we were OK with not being liked by everybody? These are the questions I explore in this week's episode.

What if the journey to making more money was not one of hustle but one of liberation? In this week's episode, I tell you about Rachel Rodgers' new book We Should All Be Millionaires and encourage you to dream big instead of keeping yourself small.

You know those moments when you feel down on yourself and getting out of bed seems impossible? In this week's episode, I look at how we create a good portion of our own misery, why we do this to ourselves and how we can start feeling better.

Your current job is a means to an end. Ultimately, you're the captain of your own ship and get to choose your destination, the itinerary on the way there and when it's time to change direction. You also have a word on how you wish to be treated on the journey. Don't let others grab hold of the helm for you are the only person who knows where this ship is headed.

What if frustration was not the result of something going wrong but just a sign that you needed to realign? In this week's episode, I explore 3 types of frustration, what they might be trying to tell you and how to find your peace of mind again.

In this week's episode, I talk about how I intend to treat people - not only in my every day life but also here on the online space... because it's too easy to forget that the people we connect with digitally are real humans with real feelings and a right to dignity and respect.

It's an important question to ask ourselves as our lives are increasingly woven with the world wide web. So when something happens we don't jump straight to default reactivity because we have core values to go back and align with.

If you are tired of being stuck in the cycle between excitement and lack of motivation, this episode is for you. I've identified 4 types of laziness and the different ways to move through that feeling (because yes, it's just a feeling caused by thoughts - and it doesn't mean ANYTHING about the kind of person that you are.)

The words we use are a representation of our current thoughts, and our current thoughts determine our future. If we wish for more clarity, freedom and excitement in our life, it's time to stop saying "I don't know" and "it's unrealistic." As Will Smith said, "being realistic is the most commonly traveled path to mediocrity." I couldn't agree more.

The final episode of this 3 part series describe the transformation that can happen when we come home after months of living a completely different existence: one that's led by the heart and in full alignment with who we are. How do we go back to "real life" when we've changed so much? Do we even have to?

In the second part of this series, I tell you about how to avoid letting negative thoughts ruin a beautiful day, I share what happened when I stopped comparing myself to other hikers, how I learned to be in total acceptance of the suck and finally, the reason why we set goals (hint: it's not about the goal itself.)
