The Next Level

Language is a powerful shaper of our experience. The depth of training and knowledge most of us have when it comes to words stops at basic grammar.  I remember when I had my first powerful experience with language and consciousness, and how from that moment forward, my view of language was forever changed.  Back on episode 065 I chatted with Mark England about Upgrading Your Language to Resolve Co...

Language was the equivalent of my gateway drug into the personal development space about 10 years ago. I was already into fitness and health, and was working as a personal live in chef for the years prior. When I got a glimpse of the "non-physical" modalities like thought, language, and consciousness, I was hooked. In a soon to be released episode of my interview series, I sat down with Mark Engla...

Being able to bounce back from the inevitable hard times in life is an essential skill. The recovery period between something that happens and how we come through on the other side is known as resilience. We often see resilience as a hard skill... something that we gain when we go through experience that toughens us up. I know I typically thought of it this way too, making "thick skinned" and resi...

If you guys are yet to gather this from the show so far, I'm completely obsessed with esoteric teachings, spiritual practices, and certain concepts like Penney Peirce and I talked about in the last episode… a holographic reality. I also love science, research, and data driven findings that reveal the "scientific proof" of what these ancient esoteric teachings knew in a different way. Where all thi...

Something that has been making it's way into my awareness A LOT lately is the difference between familiarity and comfort. The language we use to describe thoughts and emotions is massively powerful and can create a mental and emotional state of stop or go. In the personal development space there is a lot of talk about the comfort zone and how we need to step out of our comfort zone where all the m...

The beauty industry, for men and women, has had a strong focus on the veneer. It's largely about acquiring and applying beauty as apposed to radiating beauty from the inside out. There's no better example that I know of personally who radiates health and well-being as much as Nadine Artemis and when it comes to cream of the crop pure products Nadine has curated and formulate just that. Nadine Arte...

Around the holidays, we typically spend time with our friends and families. Something that started to happen for me when I was upgrading my nutrition and digging into personal development was that going back home felt awkward. Not only that, but I would get judgemental and try to impose my newly found discoveries on my family and friends. It can even feel like there is a mismatch going on. These p...

In a society where we place a high value on the intellect, it can be a tough to drop into how we really feel about making choices in our life. I've personally found it extremely valuable to be able to tap into a deeper intelligence to navigate life's choices and be able to draw upon the feeling of a decision. In a recent coaching session with a client we came up with a great analogy that helped he...

Growing up an Irish boy in East London, Steve Sims was the son of a brick mason. This laid the foundation, yes... pun intended..., for his insane work ethic.

Any time we try to change something in our life, we find out how we REALLY handle change.

When I got very clear on how I wanted to feel and acting and creating from that place, things got a lot more fulfilling. Now, please hear me on this one.
