100% Awesome Podcast

We are all capable of way more than we believe. To tap into our true potential and create new possibilities for ourselves, we have to allow ourselves to dream big and we have to know how to keep going.  Because even though we each have unlimited potential and are capable of creating anything we want in our lives, we aren't capable of it all at once. We only open new possibilities to ourselves one...

Usually, I'm against any kind of self-doubt, but in this week's episode of the podcast, I'm inviting you to start doubting what you think about yourself and questioning the conclusions you've drawn about yourself.  When it comes to figuring out who we are and what we're capable of, most of us are using an incomplete data set and our conclusions are holding us back. We have to start doubting what w...

The way we think about ourselves is so important because our thoughts about who we are is directly correlated to what our life looks like. Our personal identity dictates the choices and decisions we make, the actions we take on a daily basis, and those actions build our lives. Who do you think you are? The answer to that question is creating your life.  Everything you do is because of who you thin...

We have officially reached 200 episodes of the podcast! And if you've been listening to the podcast for any length of time, you've probably heard me say many times that you and your life are 100% awesome.  But how can that be when your life contains both good and bad, as much that is difficult and challenging as enjoyable and fulfilling? And how can you be 100% awesome when you are also 100% human...

On this special bonus episode of the podcast, I'm sharing a brand new way to work with me and the three words that are the driving force behind everything I do in my business. Whenever my brain thinks what I'm doing is too hard or too scary or when it points out my inadequacies, these three words remind me of the reason that I'm doing any of it in the first place and they help me to keep doing my...

Most of us have a desire to be great, for our lives to matter, to make the most of our time here on earth. But at the very same time, we're all just trying to survive. We're full of dreams and desires for more, but also inundated with fear and self-doubt and insecurity. We all want to live our best lives but also, life is hard and we experience real suffering.  How do we navigate this experience?...

Sometimes it feels like our life just exists, as it is, without any say from us and we spend most our time reacting to it. But the reality is that you are always creating your life. Even when you don't know it!  Our lives are created one decision, one choice at a time. And most of the time those choices are being made unnoticed and unexamined inside our own heads. But when you truly understand the...

What gets your attention? What are the things that your brain returns to again and again, day after day? Are the things you are giving your attention to creating the results that you want?  When we aren't paying attention to our attention, our brains can focus on things that are unproductive, distracting, and even detrimental to creating the things we really want.  Your attention is your most powe...

We know that everybody has the right to choose. But what do we do when our thoughts about what's right or wrong or what's good or bad don't line up with other people's choices? Especially when those other people are people that we love? Our brains like to notice, worry about, and judge other people's choices, but this puts all of our focus in a place where we have no control and causes us to focus...

It's easy to think that our problems and difficulties are getting the way of our best lives. We often think we've got to fix ourselves and conquer our limitations before we can get onto the "important work" that we came to earth to do.    But I believe that within the challenge of our own personal limitations, there is a priceless opportunity to do the very work of learning to choose that we're al...

This is the season of self-improvement. Almost everywhere you look someone is talking about goals and fresh starts and changing our lives. And for our naturally critical brains, this can be added fuel to notice all the things that are wrong with us and all the things that need fixing. Today's podcast episode is a reminder to choose to like yourself as you. Right now. No matter what goals you are o...

One of the easiest ways our brain can stop us from getting the life we want is by telling us that it's going to take a lot of effort, a lot of work, and a lot of time. We think we need to make huge, sweeping changes and we end up trying to do too much too fast, which leads to burn out and quitting. Our brain tries to talk us out of small, daily action by telling us that we aren't really making any...

A lot of us like to set goals at the beginning of a new year, only to find ourselves getting frustrated, giving up, and ditching our goals before the end of January. This isn't because there is something wrong with us—it's because your brain is specifically programmed to sabotage the work you need to do to achieve your goals.  Goal setting is easy, but goal achieving isn't. To make it easier, on t...

At the close of one year and the start of another, our brains often become reflective. This can be a good time to look at your life and check in with yourself to see if you are creating the things you want in your life and decide what you want to do next. Usually when your brain does this, it can tend to be critical of your past and skeptical of your future and this is not helpful. In today's podc...

Christmas is just days away and so I'm taking the opportunity to share my thoughts and reflections on Christ and the effect his goodness has had on my life. Today I'm sharing the Christmas letter that I sent this year to all of my family and friends with you. Of all the thoughts that I share on my podcast, these are the ones that mean the most to me and have brought me the most comfort, hope, and...

What if you could get a compilation of your thoughts for the year? What if your brain could give you a summary list of the sentences you thought the most, the thoughts you spent the most time with, and the words that ran through your mind more than any others? Today on the podcast, I did an honest assessment of the thoughts I spent the year with and looked at what they created in my life. I found...

These are all gifts that will decrease your suffering and increase your enjoyment of your earth life experience, and best of all, they are all gifts you can give yourself anytime you want.

Coaching is what allowed me to turn a life of regret into a life I love. And I just want any of you who might be in the same place that I once was, how very different it can be. There is so much possibility and love and joy available to you. You can love yourself and your life and design it the way you want it—and you do that by changing the choices you are making in your head. To sign up for my n...

When I think about the differences between me today and me five years ago—and I see the differences in my body or my money or my relationships or my daily activities or my spiritual life—it is shocking how differently these two versions of me are experiencing our lives.  It can be tempting to think that these two versions of me are living different lives because I am taking different actions and m...

I almost missed some of the best parts of my life because of a story in my head and I don't want that to happen to you.

Sometimes we're scared to pursue our goals and dreams. Sometimes we even have the thought that maybe its selfish or self-centered to pursue what we want. Sometimes we can think that pursuing our own wants and desire is indulgent and that with all the trouble in the world, maybe what we want isn't important and we shouldn't be concentrating on it. But I want you to notice something…everything you l...

You don't have to love everybody.  But you can if you want to. We are about to enter the time of year when we have lots of get-togethers with our families and friends. That's a lot of human brains (who all think differently!) sharing the same space and gathering around the same table. That also means there are also going to be plenty of opportunities to have all kinds of thoughts and feelings abou...

All of us want to be happier. But that's actually part of the problem. Our constant desire for happiness, pleasure, ease, and contentment and our easy-access to dopamine-triggering activities and substances is causing most of us to end up in a dopamine deficit. This means that the more we pursue pleasure, the more pain we end up feeling.  In today's podcast episode, I explain how your brain's dopa...

We've all had the experience of deciding to change something in our lives or work on a new goal or pursue a dream, only to find ourselves "not wanting to do it" when the time comes to actually get to work and do it.   Our brains are really good at thinking "I don't want to," and even though it doesn't seem like a very important or significant thought, it is probably the thought that prevents most...
