Unpacking Myself

Another one of those topics where I am baffled I wasn't exposed to or taught earlier in my life. Jealousy, competition, stealing, manipulating all stem from a feeling of "there isn't enough in the world for everyone." There is always one or more area of our life where we let this scarcity mindset creep in and we get caught up in a vicious cycle. However, when we feel there is enough for everyone, we attract abundance. In this episode, I talk about why having an abundance mindset over scarcity is critical to happiness, success and a peaceful mind.

When I stopped drinking for a couple of years, I learned a lot about myself and the world around me. One of the biggest challenges was explaining to people why I stopped drinking even though I didn't have a major issue with alcohol and wasn't dealing with addiction. It wasn't until recently through someone else's words that I realized what I was trying to learn through this experience. In this episode, I share my journey, my why, what I learned and what changed around me.

If the choice is between being the jerk who challenges someone's opinion to their face or being the person who stays quiet but passes judgment later, who would you choose? Most people feel more comfortable staying quiet but is there really not a better in between option? Does disagreeing or debating with someone have to turn ugly & awkward? In this episode, I dive into why I don't think so. I share the approach that I have seen be successful when debating someone on an issue and why I think it works so well.

Isn't it funny that we always tell our kids "have fun" but they are the ones that need to be reminded the least? I think we adults are the ones that need the reminder, not them. Why is it so hard for adults to have fun like kids? In this episode I dive into the answers I unpacked for myself and what reminder now helps me enjoy the little moments more. I also talk through why many spiritual leaders and successful people believe having fun is one of the keys to success.

How often do we spend time with just our thoughts - no distractions. We use tools to measure our physical health but what do to measure our mental health? Our comfort or discomfort with being alone with our thoughts can be very telling about the quality of our life. This week I talk through this invisible yet powerful measure of our overall well-being and my journey of going from being uncomfortable to comfortable with solitude.

Maybe someone pops into your head or maybe you know someone going through a really hard moment - what makes us hesitate to reach out. Often we think we are being considerate of them. In this episode, I share the thoughts that would go through my head in these moments and how I realized I was approaching it all wrong. I was unnecessarily filling my head with clutter & I was missing out on an opportunity to show someone that I cared about them. Listen in on how I remind myself to not go down that path.

Ever feel angered by something so much that you feel the heat rising through your body, steam coming out of your ears and the story replays over & over again in your head? Most of us have been there - either monthly, weekly or even dailly. This week, I dive into what actually happens in our body in these moments & why it's important for all of us to have a "go to" technique to help us observe the anger instead of letting it take over us. I also talk about how I've learned to use emotions as a way to identify opportunities for growth.

From the moment we are born, we are boxed into so many roles. These roles can dictate how we behave or think for our entire lifetime. The tricky part is it's hard to differentiate the true motive behind our actions - am I acting from a place deep within me that is authentic OR am I acting from a place of expectations placed on me by the external world? The other side of the coin is - our expectations around roles we expect others to play and the negative emotions that come up when they don't. Listen in as I dive into this one and share my personal experiences.

Have you ever thought or felt "Once I achieve this goal, I will be happy and content?" I have. But then I started noticing a common theme in what successful people were saying when asked what they would tell their younger self. In this episode, I'll share what they all said and what happens when we are constantly living in the future. If you've ever felt anxious about not reaching your goals fast enough, give this one a listen to get a glimpse into how I shifted that feeling to a more positive one.

It's easy to get caught up in the race of life where no one really knows where they are going, but we keep running because everyone else around us is. I personally don't want to have regrets when I'm older. I want to know where I'm headed and why. I talk about how being intentional in what we want out of our lives allows us to be in control. I also share how people who got clear on what success looks like for them, did it.
