Four Ways to Love Yourself

Truth is, you can’t give what you don’t have. 

And, if you’re not able to love yourself, you might not know it, but you’re planting some seeds into the unconscious of your kids that might NOT be the greatest BS for the future. (BS meaning belief systems.)

To give you a basic framework for healthy change,
there’s a four step process to grow and shift your inner world and the inner world of your children or teens.  So, we’re going to break that down today.

Today, I'm talking about the 3 Costs involved in making change - the cost of NOT taking action, the cost of lukewarm action, and the cost of decisive action to get your results. These three costs show up for you when YOU want to make changes, and they show up when your spouse or partner wants to make changes... even when your kids want (or need!) to make changes. I'm also covering ways to help yourself and others to make real, lasting shifts in your life. 

GREAT conversation with Mark Savant, host of Actidad Podcast and all around awesome guy. We talk about goal setting, the power of communication, living your truth (gah! "deserve" just ruins thing, ya?), how to get better dads in the world, and how to get better engagement with your family. And to think it all started with wanting an extra bowl of rice.

We've all heard about S.M.A.R.T. goals for the Nth degree, from everywhere. We ALL know the importance of setting goals - but is there something MORE we could be doing, something beyond just being SMART? Yes, of course. 

Today I'm joined by Dan Zehner - beyond being an engineer, working with NASA, and ruck sacking, Dan is also deeply involved in the work of Seal Team Leaders, the brainchild of Larry Yatch. Dan is committed to helping men to feel empowered, take control of their lives, and accomplish more than they ever thought possible. 

Today we're talking about how to shift your approach to goal setting, we touch on fatherhood and parenting, we even talk about playing games and scented candles. 

EVERYONE needs a time out - I need a time out, YOU need a time out, our kids need a time out... grinding is great, but when you're burning the candle on both ends and the middle, what's left? So many of us are getting consumed by our dreams, our drives, our side-hustles, etc. And... have you noticed you're getting diminishing returns? Yeah, me too. I think you'll find, with a little time out in your day, you'll show up more powerfully for yourself and others. Today we're talking about some strategies on HOW to make a time out happen for you and for others. Give it a listen, you'll be glad you did! 

It's a new year, and for many that means new goals. Yay! Only, most people don't actually achieve their goals. Boo! Today, I'm talking about why that actually happens - hello secondary gain - and what YOU can do about it... for yourself, and for your kids. 

It's New Year's Eve on 12/31/2019 and today I'm joined by Dr. Russell Kennedy, the Anxiety Doctor, and we're talking about multiple ways to help resolve anxiety in kids and families. 

We talked about the power of eye contact, why giving power to your kids at times can actually be helpful, how to help kids vs helping teens, the power of movement and touch, and even the power of family dinners. We covered a TON of practical tips to help YOU empower your kids in ways you might never have thought of! 

Neuroscientist, Medical Doctor, Comedian, Yoga Teacher, Dr. Russell Kennedy aka THE ANXIETY MD lived with anxiety most of his life has devoted his career to helping others get out of the hole he was in for a very long time. His anxiety started when he was quite young, growing up with a severely mentally ill father who would lapse into psychotic depression and anxiety that would frighten Dr. Russ to the point that he developed an anxiety disorder.
