Hey friends! Thanks so much for being part of this project.
#SundayAintScary has meant a lot to me over the past 6 months. When I published my first episode in October of 2021, I knew I wanted to publish at least 20 episodes and then see if I felt like continuing after. While the number was somewhat arbitrary, I knew that getting to 20 episodes is a feat and I went 20/22 in the past 22 weeks.
Now that I'm here, I feel honored and blessed to have so many people listen and send me messages of support and that my content resonated with them. I post this with a subliminal feeling of guilt knowing those that really enjoyed it won't be hearing new episodes anytime soon. But let me say this, guilt is a terrible way to make a decision!
I'm taking a break to put the primary focus and energy on my book and Kickstarter, and will be traveling the next 4 months to Mexico, Croatia, Turkey, and Bulgaria. I don't want this podcast to be a "checkbox." If I'm going to do it, I want it to be fully aligned to me, and right now it feels like something I need to drop to make space in my life for other things.
I'm lucky to have multiple "right" decisions here, but that also makes it tough to know what to cut. I hope you can use motivation from this episode to cut something that's not aligned to your purpose at the moment. And until next time, keep wandering, you're not lost.

I started a challenge in March with 8 friends! Feel free to steal it from me below:
The Structure
The challenge is a $31 USD wager. Each dollar represents ONE day in March (hence $31). One dollar for each day. You can adapt this wager however you want, obviously. The amount of money is less important than the symbol of commitment it provides.
The goal is to retain your bet. To retain your dollar for the day, you MUST accomplish 2 things on that day:
Losing Your Bet
If either of these doesn’t happen (i.e. you don’t text the group, even if you complete your habits, or you don’t complete your habits and text the group), you lose $1 that day.
If you miss multiple days in a row, your losses start to double.
So on the 2nd day of you missing your habits or texting (or both), you lose $2 instead of $1. And so on (e.g. if you miss 4 days in a row, you lose $8).
If you miss enough days in a row, you’ll end up owing money!
How to Play
Everyone chooses something they either want to ADD or SUBTRACT from their current everyday routines in these areas of life for the entire month. These should be challenging yet attainable in your daily life. Adding something means you don’t currently do it consistently. Subtracting something means you do it all the time and want to live without it:
1. Physical Movement (Exercise)
2. Mental (Emotional/Spiritual)
3. Work (Business/Job)
4. Nutrition (Substance/Food)
5. Wild Card (Anything)
Once you’ve chosen the routines you want to add/subtract, you’re responsible to yourself and the group to report every single day and actually do them. Again, only by completing both of those tasks (reporting + doing) allow you to retain your bet on any given day.
Winning
Whoever has the most money in their account when the clock strikes midnight on the first day of the next month gets ALL the money.
Tie Breaks
In the event of a tie, the people who tie split the pot between themselves equally.
Are you going to try this challenge for yourself? See if you can get a few friends to start with you! While you can start at the beginning of the month you can really adapt the structure to fit your needs. Have fun with it.
DM me on Instagram and send me a screenshot of you and your group.

To get what you want out of life, you need to first act like the person you want to BE by doing the things they would DO so you can have the things they would HAVE.
What We’re Conditioned to Believe:
But... this way of thinking is counter-productive!
Example:
“I need to have money to be able to do this coaching program to be an entrepreneur that makes a lot of money.” But ironically, it's going to be that coaching program that helps you get to the level you want to go.

At what lengths must we search just to find out that we're all imperfect?
We live in a world in which we impact each other with everything we do, yet we find ourselves in extreme silos of division.
In these silos, we create so much judgment of others that our belief systems become our identities.
And I’ve been feeling like this shift is causing us to forget something very important: we all live in the same glasshouse.
People inherently have this rush to throw stones at others whom don’t believe the same as they do.
But when you throw stones in a glasshouse, you’re only breaking your own collective home.
A society in which no one can make mistakes is a society in which no one can win.
No one is mistake-free. No one is defined by one moment.
True personal growth is acceptance and compassion for others in the way you’d like to be forgiven for your mistakes.
It’s knowing that if a light were shown on your past in excruciating detail, there would be things you’re not proud of.

I've heard time and time again that "things happen for a reason."
I disagree...
Things just happen.
The meaning that comes from the situation, or the "reason" is completely manufactured by the person. Two people can have the same thing happen to them and respond in completely different ways. Does that mean either of their "reasons" is less valid?
No, it means that we can choose. Think about challenging times in your life. What are the opportunities that have opened up because of challenging situations? Are you able to proactively see the beauty in experiences that initially felt negative? What would you do if you could retroactively create the "reason" for anything happening in your life instead of accepting a presupposed explanation that someone else offers?
The more we can accept and appreciate circumstances for what they are, the quicker we'll be able to assign our own meaning to them and do so in a way that serves us instead of digging ourselves a grave of despair. Enjoy this episode for my thoughts on this subject.

Life requires you to integrate your best self into all areas because they are all connected. This means: establishing habits for health, wealth, work productivity, and relationships.
Why is this important?
It’s incredibly easy to negatively impact one area of life by ignoring another.
BUT… the same is true inversely…
It’s incredibly easy to positively impact one area of life by thriving in another.
I interviewed dozens of remote workers and high-performing, "effective" nomads. These are the 10 habit pillars of their success, consolidated.

You are the universe experiencing itself in physical form, and everything you experience is governed by energy, here's how to get it to work in your favor...
After some time of feeling down, I've had a shift of energy. Being able to externalize my thoughts has helped me move on and forward.
In this episode, I want to share some of my thoughts about energy...
Everything, from a granular level, is made of energy.
The common denominator between every interaction we have in our life, all objects, plants, humans, and animals is an exchange of energy. Since you both emit and absorb energy from everything you interact with it's a useful practice to ask yourself:
It’s all of our individual responsibility.
Think about what you eat, what kind of clothes you wear, the music you listen to, and the information you consume, they all make a difference.
When you realize everything is connected, you give yourself an opportunity to see the big picture. You have an impact. How you choose to use your energy in these exchanges will largely determine what kind of energy you get back.
The universe is a mirror and you attract the type of energy you exude.
Choose wisely.

"Until you make the unconscious, conscious, it will rule your life and you will call it fate."
I’ve gone through life thinking that I know what I want. I want the good things to happen to me, and I don’t want the bad things to happen to me.
But what if bad things in my life came about because I like it that way?
It’s a strange concept to think about, but, what I’ve found is that pain and suffering can be addictive. Suffering is a part of the human experience and the more I tuned into how I chose to feel in specific moments, the more I realized I was choosing to suffer and stay in my suffering, but I didn’t really know why.
I want to make a quick note that I’m not invalidating suffering. Again, it’s part of our experience as humans, and some of us have gone through atrocities that are unfathomable. But suffering at its root is a reaction to events that unfold.
Victimization, suffering, pain, can all bring us a sense of importance and significance. As children, often it’s our crying and pain that would draw attention from others. And as we grow into adults we find other ways to bring meaning to our existence through our struggles.
So, while our conscious selves don’t want the bad stuff in life, we often end up getting the opposite because of the unconscious patterns we’ve learned as a child, or through experiences in our lives that create repressed feelings and our ego finds these patterns highly addictive.
What your unconscious wants, it gets. You are not who you think you are!
Take a look at what you currently have in your life, and know that that’s what your unconscious wants, whether you classify it as good or bad.
"One does not become enlightened by imagining figures of light, but by making the darkness conscious."
Instead of repressing and numbing the senses of wrongness in your life — and what you think you don’t want — come to terms. Accept yourself wholly. You are a complicated being with a spectrum of desires. You don’t have to only want good things. On some level, you want bad things, whether you know it consciously or not.
So think about this: What situations or patterns in your life seem to show up frequently that you think you don’t want, but you may unconsciously be bringing into your life?
Give yourself permission to be shameless, and open the communication between your unconscious and conscious. This will greatly increase your individual agency and awareness. Find pleasure and acceptance knowing you have an open mind to wanting bad things, and that will help you actually choose them or not.

I’m in a fucking rut: I’m unable to walk, I'm the heaviest I've ever been, I'm forcing my business through a transformation, I'm unhappy... and in this episode, I'm going to tell you how I'm going to get out of this.
Like most *honest* humans, there have been countless times I've felt "stuck in the mud" with life. It's a sinking feeling. Like every time I try to move, I fall deeper, limiting my hope of a better situation.
This has happened in business, love, and health. At the current moment, the surgery I had on my ACL is the main culprit of this feeling. Being unable to be as active as I want to be is frustrating.
My Gameplan:
Every time on my way out of a rut I’m reminded: One of the worst things we can do to ourselves when we're stuck is to focus on our stuck-ness — thereby giving it more energy and power over us.
It doesn’t make it any less hard, but I feel I’m fortunate I'm in a headspace now where I can focus on more than just survival mode because the unbearable pain has subsided.
