Almost at the finish line my friend, mentor, and teacher Sandra Grace joins me on the experiment. Sandra is always a source of pure positive energy and has changed my life for the better in many ways!

Today we talk about the principals of Reiki and how they pertain  to our lives.  Taking time with the 3 of 5 that I have not spent much time on because I have been so specifically focused on the first 2. Sandra also takes time to make sure I recognize how, because I was ready, the universe threw opportunity after opportunity for me to learn and grow through this experiment! We dig into my struggles with how I want to return to "regular life" and how a lifestyle shift is a much better option going forward as opposed to total cessation of everything.

Another conversation I was really excited to have for you guys today. My Friend Doctor Mani calls in today to talk about his process of change, creativity, and client work.

I always love talking with Dr Mani, He is able to communicate complex ideas in such a way that you and I "regular people" can understand. We talk about the conversation he and I once said that literally changed my life, and some of the more intellectual ideas behind belief! Then we jump into Mani's creative process with his music and how it is his "flow" and how we both use flow in our daily lives. and don't forget to check out those dope memes!!!

Today my friend Nicole drops by to talk about my progress and how I am feeling so far since the experiment has officially ended. We talk about some of her other modalities she likes to use for change, and dig a little deeper into the change process, sometimes things arn't always what they seem on the surface.

She also takes a minute to interpret some of the reasons or things I have seen throughout my journey. A lot of good talk from the only woman who can get away with calling me a toddler.

Tonight Ryan Charaba of "First W akeups with Ryan Charaba" podcast joins me on the experiment Ryan is an amazing coach who actually reached out to me at the beginning of the experiment and has been supporting me the whole way through. This is a super nice episode to actually dig into some things with someone I have grown a lot of respect for over the last month or so.

We dig into some of the interesting things about changing together in a relationship. That doesn't have to be just a spouse or lover. We talk about some ways to think about and navigate conversations of a rocky nature. Ryan is an awesome communicator and he shares a personal story of vulnerability which leads us to talk about our journey towards anger and our worst selves. Then we dig into some strategies to improve ourselves in our worst moments. Ryan wraps us up be asking 3 simple questions that you should ask yourself often that can really help!

This is another reason why I like having my amazing friends on the podcast. Such amazing value. ENJOY

Today Corey Piper of @NotNeverFilms drops by the podcast on this the last full day of the experiment. We talk a little bit about my current struggles and he teases me with some delicious scotch which happens to be one of my favorites.

As we get to the meat of the episode Corey elaborates on finding his passion and how he continues to get up at 5am every day to grind away at his passion, which is only a side job right now! I ask him what makes him think that can can make a feature length film and succeed, and we wrap up the episode with an amazing discussion about fear, and how it drives him every day to get up and do what he does. There is some great perspective and ideas in this episode from a man that inspires me all of the time. Enjoy this real fun talk.

So close to the end on this one! I talk about how the closer I get to the end of this experiment the harder it is to stay within the parameters. But on some fronts I am very proud of myself. I talk a little more about the pain of breaking my intention. And then I talk about anger.

How does anger manifest in your life? How do you feel about that? How does it effect your life?

Are you angry with someone else or are you angry with yourself?  I talk about ways to deal with your anger, or even calm it down to pure communication. And why sometimes going to bed angry is OK and how being mad all day effects you!

What do you do when you screw up? My recap of the thanksgiving weekend comes with a few things that weren't allowed inside the experiment. So tonight I talk about what to do when you screw up.

Dwelling and reliving mistakes doesn't serve why, why waste your thoughts and energy on it. If you are going to make a conscience "mistake" as I did tonight. Make your move and stick with it. If it doesn't serve you, let it go and move on. I talk about celebrating your victories, no matter how small, and making each day better than the last, most of the time. I also briefly address when to get help.

Today I invite my mentor, Hypnotist Paul Ramsay into the experiment. Paul drops some amazing knowledge on us about the 6 human needs (Certainty, Love and connection, significance, variety, growth, and contribution) and how they effect everything that we do. Paul walks us through each need and how they effect us day to day whether that is on a conscience or subconscious  level. As always when I talk to Paul I learn so much in how these things tie in with my own life. Really listen to these needs and how they are not always what they seem on their face. Paul is an expert at noticing and re-framing these ideas and applying them to my life! More real change and value for my own life here, I love this podcast, I'm growing so much.

We talk about my fear with the end of of the experiment and going back to some of my vices and will I still be able to  receive my love and connection with my friends going into the future? And he finally asks the most important question of the experiment. Essentially, Why, after succeeding through this experiment, would I go back to these vices? Does that serve me, and what is the next steps? Still thinking on this one! But we do dive into some of those possibilities and find some very interesting ideas.

So much value for my in this conversation! Its the longest episode of the whole experiment but listen to every word and see how much I grow right in front of your ears!

Today one of my very best friends joins me on the show. Mitch and I have known each other for almost 10 years and have grown up a lot together over that time. I start out with an update from thanksgiving and tell you all about my NEW (used) CAR! Then we dive in to what it is that makes Mitch such an amazing person.

From growing up and being bullied because of his race and positive attitude to pushing through some painful adversity as a young adult, this guy has no quit. And when the cards were really on the table. He showed me how to be a man in true pursuit of his son and all the hard work he had to do to be a part of his life. I respect this man more than almost anyone in the world!

Pay special attention to the positive self talk, reframing, and what does he start with? Gratitude! This guy has every trick in his tool bag that we have been talking about all month long, and he just grew up with them. There is truly some amazing content here so listen up good.

This was my 2 person podcast with 1 mic, so if the audio is up and down I appologise, but the content is so valuable, hang in there!

I havn't slept well fro the last few days, and it is starting to show. I feel good having enough resolve to push through both the late nights and sleepy mornings without vices! My grandfather is in the hospital as well, so thinking a lot about him!

Today I talk about taking action. Sometimes you just have to move. If something is on your mind, Just say it, keeping things in never helps. I also ask the question we all need to answer for ourselves... "What are you afraid of?!?" Next time, lean into your fear and take action!
