A quick, off cycle bonus episode of The Second of Strength Podcast. I took a trip down memory lane a few weeks ago and it made me realize just how far I've come.

If you were to tell your 8 year old self about your life, they would be amazed at who you've become. When was the last time you paused, just to look back at how far you've come? You are not the same person you used to be. You've come so far.

This quick episode is meant to be a reflective moment for you. Pause. Look back. Now go forward.

This week's episode of The Second of Strength Podcast, Tanner dives into the world of intentional thoughts. The reality is that if we don't intentionally place thoughts in our mind then somebody or something else will.

This episode talks about what planting seeds (goals) looks like and what it takes to keep weeds out so that you can reach your ultimate goal and potential.

Additionally, there are two ways to "weed out" the the thoughts and distractions that are keeping you from your ultimate gaol and pursuit of happiness.

Burn the boats.

This weeks episode of The Second of Strength Podcast, Tanner talks about the need to burn the boats that are keeping us anchored to comfort. The phrase “Burn the boats” comes from the 1500’s when Hernan Cortez instructed his men to destroy the ships they had just arrived on so that there was no turning back.  In one commend and act he made it so his Spanish Conquistadors would be forced to go forward.  There was no retreat. There was no “plan b”. There was only forward, fight, and win.

How often are we failing to move forward simply because we give ourselves the option to go backwards if it gets to hard or too scary

It’s time to burn the boats. It’s time to move forward with faith that forward is the right direction. It’s time to be confident in your abilities and your future. It’s time to burn the boats.

This week on The Second of Strength Podcast I break down a simple question with a not so simple answer. Is happiness a choice?

I believe it is.

This does not mean that life isn't hard. It is. Sometimes it's unfair. Sometimes it doesn't make sense but the real question is, are we dwelling on and staying in pain or are we choosing to find the joy in even the hardest moments.

This episode touches on specific ways that you, your teens, and anyone else can choose happiness and what changes you might need to make to do it.

I hope it helps you find the bright side of life.

Sooooo…here’s the way.

NO. I can’t. Sorry! Maybe next time.

This week’s episode of The Second of Strength Podcast is all about saying NO so that you can say YES to you.

One thing I love about the community of people who listens to this podcast, follows me on Instagram, and invites me to speak in schools and events is that you are ALL so kind. You are just good people. Sometimes, that means that we are doing too much for others and limiting our own personal growth. It’s true.

The more we say yes to everything else in our lives, the less time we have to work on us and our pursuits of happiness. To be clear, I’m not saying don’t be kind and I’m not saying don’t help other people. I am saying, be careful where you spend your time and energy because it can drain you to the point that you won’t be able to give to yourself.

If you are a battery that has only so much charge to help charge others, it’s important that we poay attention to when that pbattery is on E because we won’t be able to help others.

This episode will help you evaluate when “NO” is the right response to others.
