In this week's episode I am joined by Adam Hill.  A CEO, triathlete, speaker, and author who generously shares that the opposite of fear is not fearless, it's flow.

We also discuss:

• the dangerous notion of trauma comparison, emphasizing the importance of respecting our personal battles.
• how changing our relationship with fear can be a catalyst for personal growth. 
• how fear can present opportunities and the crucial task of differentiating between fear of danger and opportunity fear. 
• the importance of meeting our fears head-on and turning them into instruments for personal growth.

Adam also shares how the often overlooked reality that success is not about relentless effort, but more about endurance and pacing oneself. As Adam shares his experiences training for an Ironman Triathlon, we learn about self-discipline, realizing dreams, and converting fear into an ally.

Ever felt burdened with an overdeveloped sense of responsibility, trying to control your relationships and often leaving you drained? 

In this episode, I talk about the damaging implications that control has on your relationship. Referencing the Adult Children of Alcoholics Laundry List, I delve into my own experiences to expose the exhausting effects of being overly controlling. 

I hate that sometimes "being controlling" is talked about as if its cool or makes you somehow sound above average or that you've got it all together.  The same is true when people say they are perfectionist.  Neither of those are great to be in my opinion and really are a sign that you are too focused on things other than looking at yourself.

We love to tell our partners what to do and who they can talk to and what they should type back to an ex or family member in a text.  Quite frankly.... you should be focused on on yourself.  Use that energy to accomplish your own goals and dreams and let your partner be the adult they are.

I'll bust the myth of control and perfectionism, revealing it as a mere distraction from addressing our real issues. By learning to lead ourselves, we can foster healthier relationships and a richer life. Remember, you're not alone in this journey, and there's a free discovery call waiting for you.

Struggling with intrusive thoughts and anxiety? You're not alone. Join us this week for a great conversation about anxiety and intrusive thoughts with special guest, Dr. Martin Seif, a distinguished clinical psychologist and anxiety treatment specialist.

We talk about the intricate world of intrusive thoughts, drawing a clear line between fleeting and persistent intrusive thoughts. Dr. Seif sheds light on the paradox of thought suppression, explaining why efforts to evade certain thoughts only make them more persistent.

Ever found yourself seeking reassurance over and over? We delve into how this seemingly harmless habit can spiral into an addictive pattern, further fueling anxiety.
We'll share insights from Dr. Seif on how this cycle influences relationships and discuss the notion of the 'sticky mind' in the context of rumination.

Also, get ready to reframe your understanding of anxiety management with the concept of 'therapeutic surrender,' a potentially liberating approach to dealing with anxiety. We'll explore strategies to change attitudes and perspectives, encouraging a lean-in approach to anxiety rather than avoidance. Tune in for a wealth of information perfect for anyone navigating the turbulence of intrusive thoughts and anxiety.
