  • E.35 - Tackling Mental Health in 6 Minutes

    Hello Ladies and Gentleman,

    It's so easy to believe that the emotional turmoil we're dealing with is ours alone. Millions of people suffer in silence every single day.

    If there is one goal of this episode, it's to make you understand you're not alone in your suffering. 

    We tend to believe if we have a problem, it's ours and ours alone. It's not for anyone else to hear or listen to because it's our baggage. It's this kind of mindset that can be catastrophic and lead us into greater despair. I've been there.

    In this episode, I condense Kelly Davis long format podcast into 5 minutes. In the long episode, Kelly shared her experiences of growing up with mental illness from the age of grade school, emotions she called "too big to handle for her body." 

    In the long episode, Kelly shared her experiences of growing up with mental illness from the age of grade school, emotions she called "too big to handle for her body." When Kelly was diagnosed as bipolar, she believed that a "normal" life was out of the question. 

    Today she works for the Mental Health of America in Washington and is an advocate for mental health. Her aim is to bring policy change on Capitol Hill to improve the services offered to those battling mental health issues. 

    To hear Kelly's full interview of how she was able to overcome mental illness to live a powerful life today, you can check out the episode here.

    Enjoy this short 5 minute episode with the best and brightest advice from Kelly to tackle your inner turmoil. And remember you're not alone. 

    Kelly and I would love to hear from you. Feel free to reach out to me on Twitter @filipsierpinski or to Kelly on Instagram @kellyabdavis to share your thoughts. If you're in a tough spot and need someone to reach out to, feel free to privately message me on facebook. 

    Happy growing :)

  • Who Are You Without Your Business

    A few weeks back I attended a conference called One Last Talk hosted by Phil McKernan. The conference spanned 2 days and had quite the impact on me.

    The biggest takeaway I took from the event was when Phil asked the audience, who are you with your business?

    This question struck a chord with me and left me resonating on it past the event.

    In this short podcast, I digest this question and challenge you to ask yourself, who are you without your business, your career or accomplishments?

    I elaborate on what happens when we strip away our external validation and talk about what matters most, what's on the inside.

  • Celebrate Your Emotions Vs. Punishing Them

    A little while back I had Preston Smiles on my podcast. One of the biggest lessons that has stuck with me from that conversation is celebrating your emotions vs. punishing them. 

    Preston said when anger, depression or temptations pop up for him, he says he doesn't judge them the way most people do. Rather he celebrates them. He'll utilise the anger, or he'll acknowledge the sadness he's feeling. 

    In this short podcast, I share how this point has stuck with me and the impact it's had on me.

  • E.34 - Kelly Davis - Mental Illness (You're Not Alone)

    "I started learning that I did have power, even though for most of my life I felt like I had none."

    - Kelly Davis

    One Thing to Takeaway
    You're Not Alone

    One of the main points my guest, Kelly Davis, stressed in this podcast was how early in life she felt alone with her mental illness. She knew as early as grade 1-2 that her feelings were "too big" for her body but at this age she had no way to articulate how she was feeling.

    "I didn't have the words and I didn't want to feel that way." 

    This isolation led her into being bullied, toxic relationships, abusing substances and attempting to take her own life.

    In the podcast, she talks about the profound impacting growing up in isolation had on her. As she got older she began to take back control of her. 

    She talks about the personal work she did; the impact group therapy had on her and how yoga allowed her to connect with her body in a safe way. 

    She shares how changing her story from a victim to a survivor was a huge step in her development and the importance of viewing her emotional sensitivity as a gift.

    In the podcast, Kelly reiterates how we're not alone on our journey, especially if we're battling with mental illness. 

    Who is Kelly Davis?

    Kelly Davis works for a non-profit called Mental Health America. She is focused on improving policies in the USA around mental health.

    A few months back she spoke at the White House on a panel regarding mental health and discussed how recovery is not being stressed enough in the mental health discussion.

    She also leads a group fitness class and recently became a certified yoga instructor.

    Why Did I Bring Kelly Onto the Show?

    I brought Kelly onto the show because when I heard Kelly's story with mental health, I knew it could have an impact on others.

    I instantly connected with her story of isolation, as I experienced a similar journey as a bisexual man, being along and confused for a long period.

    I believe Kelly's journey to overcome her battle with mental illness and rid herself of the demons holding her back, would serve others on a similar path.

  • E.33 - Flipping Your Life Around in 6 Minutes

    "I set off on a whole new trajectory in my life. Living on purpose, following my heart, following my dreams, doing the work I want to do and how I want to show up  in the world. And finally listening to my intuition, which I've always had but I've pushed away."

    - Laurita Gorman

    Hello Ladies and Gentleman,

    This podcast is a short episode based on the full feature episode I did with Laurita Gorman. You can find the full episode here.

    In this episode, Laurita talks about how she was able to flip her life around. A life that was heading for a particular course that didn't align with her deep down inside. 

    By giving herself space to connect and reflect, Laurita realized she wanted to live a life on the road. She wanted to be free to travel but had always made excuses why this wasn't possible for her. 

    I take you through Laurita's journey to freedom in 6 minutes.

    Enjoy,

    Filip

    "It's never too late to start living a life of purpose." - Laurita Gorman

    The Lesson to Take Away From This Podcast

    Laurita went to school for 9 years to establish her career. She was married; she had a house, 2 dogs and the only thing missing was kids. Even though she had all this, it didn't feel right to her. 

    Change began by booking a 10-day yoga retreat to Costa Rica. It was here where is was able to turn inward and reflect. 

    Her body was yearning for change. She had always wanted to live a nomadic lifestyle, but fear held her back. Her trip to Costa Rica was an awakening.

    Within in a month of coming back from Costa Rica she ended her marriage and started planning her next trip to Indonesia and Thailand. It was on that trip where she had a moment, where she decided to commit to living a life of purpose and following her dreams. She didn't want to be a 90 year old woman regretting not doing the things she loved.

    Upon returning to Canada from her trip, she began to turn all her attention to making her nomadic life a reality. Every conversation, every action, every penny she made was put towards saving for her new life aboard, a life she never believed would happen.  

    Who is Laurita Gorman?

    Laurita is a holistic therapist, yoga instructor, mental health advocate, storyteller, speaker and writer. She is currently traveling through South East Asian while providing coaching to her clients.

    Why did I bring Laurita onto the show?

    Laurita is an example of someone who did a complete 180 shift to start living the life she wanted. It's easy to make excuses about why we can't live our life a specific way. And yes not everything in our life is in our control.

    But how we respond to specific events and what we choose it. Laurita is an example of someone who didn't want to live her life with regret. She always wanted to have an opportunity to travel, grow and discover more of herself. And she did exactly that.

    She ended her marriage, sold her house and said goodbye to a career she worked 9 years to achieve. 

    "By no means was it easy, it was one the hardest things I had ever done." 

    It's this level of commitment that is required of us to start living a life of purpose. Making difficult decisions and following through with them. I brought Laurita onto the show to be an inspiration for all in a similar situation.

  • E.31 - How to Live a Fuck Yes Life - In 5 Minutes
    How do you stop being the victim of your life? How do you take responsibility for the environment and circumstances around you? You step up and take ownership of your life. And that's exactly what my guest did.

    Ruby Fremon kept looking at her life wondering why she kept on having addiction issues with meds and alcohol. She questioned the relationships around her and wondered why she kept dating men who weren't respecting her. She kept wondering why the anxiety and depression wouldn't go away.

    The light went off when Ruby realized that the choices she was making were creating the life she had.

    She recognized that she was in full control of what was happening to her. And if she was fully in control of what was happening to her, she had the power to choose something else.

    In this short 5 minute podcast hear about Ruby's transition to living a fuck yes life. 

    "If I can do it, that means anyone can do it."

  • E.30 - Ruby Fremon - How to Live A Fuck Yes Life
    "The past is a place of reference, not a place of residence."
    -Ruby Fremon
    What is a Fuck Yes Life?
    Living a fuck yes life is waking up every morning and saying fuck yes to yourself, to the day ahead and the life you have versus dreading it. 
     
    This can be such a powerful shift says my guest, Ruby Fremon, and anyone can experience living a fuck yes life.
     
    The foundation of self-love is the basis for it. "When we have a strong relationship with self, we stop settling for things that are below our value." 
    The Lesson to Take From This Podcast
    Ruby says that there is a misconception about self-love today. It's not just about taking yourself to yoga classes and giving yourself relaxing baths. 
     
    When we love someone intimately in a relationship, we get to know their deepest desires, what they are passionate about, what they want and how we can support them. The same goes for loving ourselves.
     
    You need to understand your deepest desires, what you're passionate about, what you want and how you can support yourself in getting there. That's where the fuck yes life begins says Ruby, understanding yourself intimately and knowing what you want.
    Who is Ruby Fremon?
    Ruby hit rock bottom in 2012; she realized the life she had created mirrored her on the inside. All the addiction, anxiety, depression and dysfunction of her relationships was a reflection of her.

    "Owning your shit is one of the most powerful things you can do." 
     
    And that's what Ruby did. She started owning her shit. Honoring her needs. Understanding that she needed help. That she needed to go to therapy. At the same time Ruby, started spending a lot of time starting to understand what she truly desired. 
     
    She started spending an immense amount of time dating herself. She began substituting nights of partying with late night yoga. She started spending time with herself every morning journalling. She began to focus on herself.
     
    As she shifted her behavior, new doors started to open up. This is where the fuck yes life was born.
     
    Ruby began to realize the life she had was a direct result of the choices she was making and she had the power to choose differently. The dysfunctional relationships with cheating boyfriends, the late nights of partying and abusing her body, the dependency on prescription medication was all a by-product of the choices she was making.
     
    By choosing differently, Ruby knew she had the power to shift her life. And that's what she did.
     
    Today Ruby is a transformational coach, a public speaker, a vlogger and has an online program to that supports people to live a fuck yes life. 
    Why Did I Bring Ruby Onto the Show?
    I brought Ruby onto the show because I knew her story of living a life she wasn't proud of and having more to give would resonate with my audience. Ruby's life of addiction and dependency was not the life she imagined for herself.
     
    We all make choices in our life. The choices we make reflect our life and the relationship we have with ourselves. When we have a poor relationship with ourselves, this is reflected back in our day to day.
     
    I wanted Ruby to share her experiences and to provide you with support in taking the first steps to having a more loving relationship with yourself. By learning intimately what you crave and creating a loving relationship with yourself, is the first step to having a fuck yes life.
