We all want to believe that we’re special, and we should, but not at the expense of others. This episode explores how special you are and can be, but in a way that doesn’t require you to compare yourself to other people and inflate or deflate your ego. In fact, the new “special” teaches you to remove ego altogether so that you can get closer to your true calling.

Discipline is less of a character trait than it is an acquired skill. A lack of discipline stops so many from getting to “the gold” that they’re after in their personal and professional lives, but it no longer has to. We can become more disciplined whether we already exhibit a level of discipline or if we’re starting from zero. This episode offers concrete answers for all those looking to improve their self-discipline so that they can get more of what they want out of life.

The need to explain ourselves may seem like a simple desire to be understood, to belong, to be accepted by those whose opinions we care about, but in reality it’s just a way to stall at being who we are. In this episode I build a case for why you should stop justifying who you are IMMEDIATELY, and how doing so will bring more ease and fulfillment into your life.

Identifying a “true connection” can be difficult when we’ve grown to interpret the highs and lows of our emotionality as “connecting” or being connected. The truth is that by our very human nature, we simply can’t go without connecting, despite our best efforts. This episode explores how you can identify the types of connections in your life and whether or not they are “true connections”.

Our attempts at being and doing “good” are largely misguided. We often miss the point of our own existence by attempting to be good at the expense of labeling someone or something else as bad or less good. We cannot pursue “goodness” without the diminishment of another human being as not living up to our individual level of goodness, and so this in itself takes away from what being good is meant to embody in the first place. This episode explores the false idea of being “good” and why our efforts are better focused elsewhere if we are to truly be it.

As the law of attraction states, the quality of the thoughts that we have and the energy that we put out is what we ultimately call in to our lives — but what happens when we think our thoughts are good but they aren’t? When all the bad that we think we’re rejecting is actually being attracted through our attention and awareness of the very things we’re attempting to reject? How do we ensure that we aren’t held back by tending to what we don’t want as we attempt to better understand ourselves? This episode explores all of this and more.

We all have a choice to live inside of ourselves or outside in the world, and what we choose will drastically impact the outcome of our lives. Choosing to know ourselves and navigate the outside world from that knowing stands in contrast to walking this earth as avatars who adhere to what is rather than fulfill what we are. This choice is major and it’s up to us to explore these options if we are to ever know true fulfillment.

Emotional Rooting is a term I’ve coined for the practice of reconditioning ourselves around “motivation”. Many struggle with staying motivated but haven’t considered the physiological implications of motivation and how it ties into being a living, breathing, emotional being. This episode discusses this practice and divulges how you too can take control of your motivation and ensure that it lasts.

Our judgments harm us in ways we may not be aware of. What might seem like a mere “knowing of self” and having strong opinions about who we are in relation to others is often a projection of our own pain that keeps us isolated from one another and even further from ourselves. This episode examines the truth about judgment and how we can begin to alleviate the burden of being judgmental in an effort to restore peace in our lives.

What if I told you that loneliness is the best thing that could ever happen to you? This episode reveals how being lonely is the ultimate power and society has it all wrong.
