  • WHY BEING RIGHT CAN RUIN A RELATIONSHIP ...

    This week on The Three Mantras Podcast, I’m talking about one of the hardest spiritual lessons to practice: What if I’m absolutely convinced I’m right… and I’m wrong? We love our version of the story. We defend it, argue for it, and sometimes damage relationships trying to prove it. But real growth begins when we leave just enough room for the possibility that there’s something we don’t know. I get into dating, relationships, misunderstandings, expectations, and the assumptions we make about other people—plus a swimming story that gave me a pretty hilarious reminder of what happens when you’re completely certain you understand a situation…and you absolutely don’t. Sometimes peace doesn’t come from proving you’re right. It comes from being willing to discover you were wrong...

  • Let's Talk About the Stuff That Actually Matters ...

    This week on The Three Mantras Podcast, it’s a mailbag episode—and we’re covering a little bit of everything. I answer your questions about navigating adversity, getting healthier and stronger as we get older, staying committed when motivation disappears, and what it really means to keep moving forward when life doesn’t go according to plan. We also get into a more serious conversation about recent losses in the public eye, the struggles people can be carrying that we may never see, and how we can do a better job of checking in, listening, and simply showing up for one another. From mental and spiritual fitness to physical fitness, recovery, relationships, and learning to handle the unexpected, this episode comes back to one simple idea: we may not control what life puts in front of us, but we do get to decide what we do next.

  • Sometimes You Just Have to Go for It

    This week on The Three Mantras Podcast, the question is simple: Now what? Fresh off attending the premiere of Dane Cook’s Funny Money documentary and hearing his story of perseverance through adversity, I started thinking about the moments in all of our lives when things don’t go according to plan. We get hurt, disappointed, rejected, scared—or life simply takes us somewhere we never expected to be. But adversity doesn’t have to be the end of the story. This week, I talk about taking risks, pushing through fear, turning difficult experiences into something positive, and having the courage to go after the life you actually want. The spiritual path isn’t about avoiding adversity; it’s about learning how to walk through it without letting it define you. Sometimes we don’t need to know where the whole road leads. We just need to ask ourselves: Now what? What’s the next step?

  • HOW TO SAY THE HARD THING WITH LOVE ...

    This week on The Three Mantras Podcast, we’re talking about something most of us would rather avoid: confrontation. But what if confrontation didn’t have to mean anger, criticism, or proving someone wrong? There’s a way to confront someone from a place of love—with the intention of helping rather than hurting—and dramatically increase the chances that they’ll actually hear you. I talk about the difference between reacting and responding, why our motives matter, and how changing the way we approach difficult conversations can change the outcome. Sometimes the most loving thing we can do is tell someone the truth—but learning how to tell it may be just as important as the truth itself.

  • DON'T MISS THE LIFE YOU'RE LIVING ...

    This week on The Three Mantras Podcast, I’m back East spending time with family, swimming every day, laughing a lot, and being reminded how much of life is about simply being present for what’s right in front of us.  This week became an unexpected lesson in gratitude—not the kind where we pretend everything is perfect, but the kind where we recognize that grief, laughter, family, friendship and even ridiculous moments at the local swimming pool can all exist at the same time. Life keeps moving, and sometimes the spiritual practice is simply allowing ourselves to be fully here for it.

  • You Never Know What Someone Is Going Through ...

    Sometimes we think we know exactly what’s happening—until we realize we never had the whole story. 
    This week on The Three Mantras Podcast, I return to the pool for another hilarious showdown with Grandma. I thought I had her this time… only to discover, once again, that my assumptions weren't telling me the whole truth. But that funny moment led me to something much bigger: How often do we walk through our day assuming we know how everyone around us is doing? What if instead we consciously scanned the room, noticed the people around us, and simply asked someone, “How are you doing?”
    The episode ends on a much more personal note as I reflect on the new Travis Barker documentary Louder Than Fear and remember my friend DJ AM. 
    This episode moves from laughter to something very close to my heart: don't assume you know the whole story. Notice people. Check in. Connect. Sometimes one genuine question can mean more than we realize.

  • Stop Waiting for Your Life to Begin ...

    What do we do with our lives while we’re waiting for the things we want to happen? In this episode of The Three Mantras Podcast, I explore Mantra #2—“There is nothing for me to get”—and the idea that we can still have huge goals and go after the things we want, but the secret is learning how to enjoy the ordinary Tuesday while those dreams are still unfolding. 
    Because if we constantly tell ourselves, “I’ll be happy when…”, there will always be another finish line waiting for us. Maybe the real practice is  trusting that there really is nothing we need to get before we allow ourselves to be happy.

  • The One Thing Missing From Your Busy Life ...

    Have you ever had a life that looked full on the outside—work, travel, relationships, activities, everything moving—and yet still felt like something was missing?
     In this episode of The Three Mantras Podcast, I talk about something I’ve been experiencing myself: the power of human connection and what can happen when we become a little too busy, regimented, or wrapped up in our own lives to really connect with the people around us. 
     This episode is a reminder to slow down, look up, reach out, be present, and consciously connect with the world around us.

  • Manifesting: What Do You Do While You Wait?

    What happens after you put your dream out into the universe… and nothing seems to be happening yet? This week on The Three Mantras Podcast, I talk about the timeline of manifesting, why we get so obsessed with when and how something is going to happen, and what we can actually do while we’re waiting. Maybe our job isn’t to figure out the entire plan. Maybe it’s to take the next right action, live our lives, help other people, and trust that things are already in motion in ways we can’t see. Sometimes the best thing you can do is chill out, get out of the universe’s way, and trust that this situation really can work out better than you can imagine.

  • The One Secret to a Happier Life ...

     In this week’s episode of The Three Mantras Podcast, I explore the simple shift that can change the way you experience your entire life: stop making your happiness dependent on what happens next. 
    I talk about how happiness begins when we become present, help others, and remember that there is nothing we need to get in order to be okay. 
    This episode is about letting go of the constant search, trusting that life can work out better than we imagine, and discovering that the peace we’ve been looking for may already be available to us right now.
