The Map To Life

In light of Valentine's Day, I wanted to take some time to talk about relationships.

In this episode I break down how to end relational conflict for good!

This advice that I have learned has transformed my life and relationship with my wife!

This is definitely not an episode to miss, especially if you are in a relationship.

In this episode I wanted to have some fun and talk about paradoxes.

I break down 20 paradoxes that reveal some harsh truths about who we are and how we act interact with the world around us.

These truths have the power to change our lives, as long as we are willing to look at ourselves openly and honestly.

How To Find What You Love:

1. If you didn't have to worry about money, how would you spend your time?

2. Do a search on your Youtube history

3. Do a search on your Internet history

4. What are your top five favorite movies?

5. What books have you read cover to cover?

6. Ask people close to you what they think it is you love

7. Look at your bank statements. Where does your money go?

8. Where does your time, attention, energy, and money go?

9. What is distracting you from the thing you are trying to do?

"The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results!"

That quote sums up the exact problems we are having in our culture, especially when it comes to our health and bodies. 

We continue to treat symptoms while ignoring the root cause of the problem, doing the same thing and expecting different results.

Food is medicine, and by eating plant based, we can solve so many of our real problems by going to the root and addressing it there. 

I am very passionate about this topic so make sure to tune in to learn more :)

Here are the three documentaries I mentioned in the episode:

1. The Game Changers (Available on Netflix)
2. Cowspiracy (Available on Netflix)
3. Dominion (Available on Youtube)

Have you ever wanted something  so bad that you ended up repelling it?

The reason that happens is because when we put something on a pedestal, we actually create resistance around it. 

Trying to control our desired outcome is the same thing. 

So in order to attract what we want, we actually have to let go of our attachment to it.

This may seem counterintuitive, because we believe that by letting go, we won't end up getting what we want. But the exact opposite is actually true.

When we learn to let go and trust, we are now in alignment to receive it. I have experienced this so many times which is why I wanted to share my experience in this episode :) 

I feel like the term ego gets thrown around  a lot without a full understanding of what it is. 

In this episode I define the ego identity and how it does actually serve us in many good and healthy ways. 

But because the ego's main job is to protect us, we must become aware of this in order to transcend the ego and move into our intuition and higher self.

Here are the questions I talk about in the episode:
1. Is your sense of self consistent and strong?
2. Can you stand your ground when challenged?
3. Do you have a positive regard for yourself?
4. What is your current level of self-evaluation based upon?
5. Are you comfortable differentiations from others?
6. Are you true to your own individuality in the face of peer pressure to conform?
7. Are you overly focused on your own issues or needs?
8. Do you constantly seek attention or appropriate al from others?
9. If so, what is it you are really seeking and how can you find it within yourself?

In today's episode I break down "shadow work." I didn't even know what that meant a few months ago, but once I dug in and did the work, it has transformed my life.

Our shadows are the person we would rather not be. The aspects of ourselves that keep us from fulfilling our dreams. These are the qualities we try to hide and ignore, but when we do, they subconsciously reveal themselves in the people around us, through what is known as projection.

This is a deep episode so make sure you give it a listen to learn more about what shadows are and how you can be free of them by integrating them into your being.


Here are the two exercises I mentioned in the episode:

#1. Make a list of all the aspects of yourself that you do not like. Then find the gift and positive value in each aspect.

#2. Whenever you get upset, write down the quality in the other person that is most upsetting to you. This is a great way to see what your personal shadows are.

In this episode I bring on a very special guest to talk about relationships.

We share our stories and what we have learned about building a solid Tribe. 

Some of the tips of we cover include:

- How to communicate
- The importance of realizing we are whole individuals before coming together
- The importance of investing in your relationships daily

Here are the three books I mention in the episode:
1. The Ruthless Elimination of Hurry by John Mark Comer
2. The Forgotten Way by Ted Dekker
3. Everything Is Spiritual by Rob Bell

In this episode I break down the 4 Trail-markers on the map that, if you follow every day, will lead you to any destination you desire!

Need I say more? 

Listen and let me know how this changes your life!

The most transformational experience I have had in life was when I went through a dark night of the soul, and had a spiritual awakening to the truth of who I am and how the world works.

In this episode I break down what that means and what truth I woke up to. 

Many times in life the struggles we go through are there to serve us and lead us to this awakening. For a lot of people, it requires going through some great suffering, in order to get there.

By sharing my experience, my hope for you is that instead of waiting for that life altering wake up call, you intentionally make the choice to let go of the old and wake up to the truth of who are, perhaps without that pain...
