Anybody can make a mistake.  In the world of podcasts, those mistakes can be very public.  What I’ve learned from these experiences is that it’s not about the actual mistakes but how you choose to handle them.

I would consider myself a recovering perfectionist, and I’m going to share with you an experience we had here at The Survivor’s Guide to Thriving Podcast that really put me to the test.  What happens when you hand a recovering perfectionist a very public mistake?  You survive.

In this quick chat you’ll learn…

• The three questions I ask myself in stressful situations
• How to better handle yourself in a society where appearances are everything
• How to call “BS” on the whole situation

You can learn more about our podcast, The Survivor’s Guide to Thriving, here.

Do you find yourself waiting for somebody else to give you the ‘green light’ on your dreams?

If you want to move from surviving to thriving, it’s time to take back the power from your critics and start looking to yourself for permission.

Don’t think you have critics? Even if you don’t have people in your immediate surroundings discouraging you from pursuing a passion, all of us have heard—at one time in our lives or another—somebody we value tell us that what we want to do is too silly/risky/impractical and that we should leave it behind. Those memories manifest into the voice of an inner critic.

Today’s episode is one you won’t want to miss – because you deserve to start moving toward your goals, today!

In this episode, you will…

• Understand that, in order to thrive, we must be in control of where we’re going
• Discover how to overcome the critics and keep moving toward your goals
• Realize that all of us want validation, but seeking it too much can hold you back
• Hear how waiting for approval traps us in survival mode
• Learn how to believe in yourself and reach for your dreams, despite discouragement

#AskGaryVee: One Entrepreneur’s Take on Leadership, Social Media, and Self-Awareness by Gary Vaynerchuk

Do you find yourself frustrated by the number of times your colleagues call you on the weekends about work? Do you wonder why you attract people—at work and in your personal life—who disrespect your time and boundaries?

Although we often feel pressured to give more time than we have—in order to gain a competitive edge in the marketplace and in our personal lives—giving too much sets the expectation that you’re willing to…give too much! And the worst part is, when you start out giving more than you should, there’s nowhere for you to go from there, except to a place of resentment and exhaustion.

At the core of this problem is a lack of self-respect and self-love. Today, Mark Jewell is going to share how he went from feeling like a person who was the victim of professional circumstances to a person who defined and created the life he wanted so he could start enjoying the life he deserved.

Tune in!

In this episode, you will…

• Understand how to train people to treat you the way you deserve!
• Realize that the more you protect your time, the more others will respect it

• Discover how to set parameters around the way people communicate with you
• Learn to treat yourself like the amazing person you are so others will too!

You won’t want to miss this eye-opening episode – it may be just the thing you need!

I Am Not Your Guru, a documentary by Tony Robbins

Do you ever imagine how your life might be different if you were courageous enough to be your authentic self at all times? The traditional workplace has discouraged a marriage of our personal and professional ‘selves’, but times are changing and it’s almost impossible to take off the work ‘hat’ at 5 pm and leave it off on the weekends to enjoy being our ‘real’ selves.

What would happen if you decided to be more of who you are at home, at work? In today’s episode, we talk a lot about how vulnerability can actually be an asset in the workplace, and help you to become a more trusted leader, but you can’t be vulnerable without showing a little bit of your true, authentic self to those around you.

What if you tried to sacrifice a little ego this week, take off the masks you wear in various parts of your life, and be yourself more of the time? You’ll be amazed at how much more often opportunity will find you when you’re putting your authentic strengths forward.

• Understand why vulnerability is an asset in the workplace
