As a person in any helping profession, or even in our personal lives with loved ones, we want to be of service. It’s in our nature. But because it’s in our nature, it can also be difficult to draw boundaries. It can become too much.

We are accustomed to the cultural concept of noble self-sacrifice, especially in medicine. Yet I have questioned if this is truly necessary. Just because something has been one way doesn’t mean it must remain that way. Of course, there are things that need to be set aside for a time period, particularly when you’re in training, but does that have to continue? Or can we foster success and service without sacrifice? Let’s talk about it.

• Not at your expense
• Give your brain a puzzle
• Exceed without sacrifice
• Sustainable success and service

• What Conditions Do You Need To Thrive?
• How To Know If You Are A Good Doctor?
• How To Say No

The concept of Earth School is that the entirety of our lives and what is happening around us might be a lesson. What if everything we experience is supposed to be so we can learn and grow? There are other versions of Earth School that also incorporate more spirituality, if you are interested in those as well. 

For me, it’s less about spirituality as it is about a useful concept, one I can apply at almost any time and to any situation. Let’s talk about what Earth School is and how to use this concept.

• When learning was fun
• What if all is learning
• Lessens resistance
• Changing the curriculum
• Appreciating Earth School

• How (and why) to Transform Any Crisis into a Gift
• Lessons Learned from Byron Katie
• How to Increase Your Mental and Emotional Agility

Giving thanks with intention first thing in the morning can help set your mood for the entire day. This doesn’t necessarily completely erase other emotions and sensations, especially as our day progresses, but it is certainly helpful.

• Full human experience
• Awake and aware
• One minute
• Better days

• Pay Attention to the Good Things
• The How To Not Use Gratitude (or any emotion) Against Yourself

Giving yourself permission is really open-ended. There are a lot of things you can give yourself permission to do or not do. And, perhaps most significantly, you don’t need to earn that right.

Growing up, we are typically taught that we need to earn permissions. Even into adulthood, we’re conditioned in many areas to ask permission from someone else in authority. But what if there are areas in your life where you don’t need permission? What if, in reality, you already have all the authority you need? Let’s talk about that.

• Permission conditioned
• At no one’s expense
• Doesn’t lead to anarchy
• What if
• Doesn’t have to be serious

• What would love do?
• What Conditions Do You Need To Thrive?
• My #1 Coaching Tool (Warmer vs Colder)

The question: “What would love do?” can be very powerful and revealing. And not necessarily for only what we automatically think about. When posed such a question, our minds tend to think about what love would do for others. But I want to look at it from a different vantage point.

In this episode, I explore the question “What would love do?”... for you? When faced with this question and pondering your response, I want to consider the answer from the other side. It’s a beautiful thing that we think of others first but there is also beauty in thinking about the answer in regards to yourself.

• A beautiful question
• Widening answers
• Scarcity point of view
• Just holding space
• Sharing painful things

• Why Self Worth Cannot Be Measured
• What Conditions Do You Need To Thrive?
• Why how you speak about yourself and to yourself matters

Acceptance and processing of painful and unwelcome emotions is a skill we can learn. But it’s not an easy one. We naturally avoid pain, unpleasant emotions and uncomfortable interactions.

For this episode, I wanted to share a tool for easier acceptance and processing of the things we normally avoid. After all, we can’t completely block negative or unwanted emotions and thoughts, so why not learn to handle them better? Let’s talk about it.

• Tools to accept rather than resist
• A dial in our head
• Dial high or dial off
• How to dial down
