Spin that Doom Loop into a Life you Crave. We all attach meaning to our past experiences and most often drag a negative meaning into our present and future.

There are 3 things you can control; your perceptions, your decisions, and your actions. When you get a grasp on that, you realize that you can spend more time working on yourself and less time trying to change the world around you.  The more you work on yourself, the more influence you will have on the world. Jason had his whole social platform hijacked by a hacker.  Everything he had built over t...

"I Like to get Jana on the treadmill...Doing it." ... One of my favorite quotes from this episode. Giving someone the "Silent Treatment" is a form od emotional abuse, if you ask some therapists.  I can see that point.  One of the most common pieces of marital advice is to never go to bed angry.  Jana relays a very funny story from Joel Osteen that pulls that advice and the sile...

We start every morning and every speech with "God, Speak to me, through me, for me, by me...Be me."

Then our habits create us." from Jana and then then when Jason paraphrased something he had read in a devotional, "Don't ask what the world needs. Ask what makes you come aliv...

Curiosity is a way to change up the energy, spark the imagination, and innovation.  Schedule excitement in your life.  Let go of control and live room for the uncertainty.  Routines and habits have their purpose, but growth happens outside of the routine, the comfort zone, and the sameness. Jana and I talk about how our relationship got stale because we did everything together. We stopped bringing...

Jana is broadcasting live from the Orlando Sanford International Airport in Florida with her dog, Tater. This episode is inspired by Jana's favorite Christmas movie, Love Actually.  Watching people experience the emotions of greeting or leaving loved ones at an airport is a shared energy when you allow yourself to get in the moment.  Can this work anywhere?  If we get present and "in tun...

Tis the season to be social. Introverts, duck and cover.  Is social anxiety something you struggle with during the holidays... any time of year? Is small talk too prevalent?  We want deeper conversations and to be around people who are willing to get real.  What are the aspects of socialization you enjoy and what are the parts that increase your anxiety? I (Jason) had a neighborhood event with abo...

Don't let disappointment get you down.  God has 3 answers to your prayers.  "Yes" "Not Yet" & "I have something bigger and better planned for you." Jana has applied for a $25K grant offered by the Olympic & Paralympic Foundations and Comcast Cable for several years. She hasn't received any help from the grant, but she is staying on mission. Look back...

What you look for is what you will find, but you have to believe it is there and available. Your mind has to filter the amount of stimulus it consciously processes for you and it selects what it thinks is important to you based on what you have told it via your beliefs and deepest thoughts. Dr. Wayne Dyer said," When you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change."...

An amazing young woman from South Dakota joins us in Florida for a couple of days.  One big project we take on is Life Mapping.  Obviously, you don't need to know exactly where you're going at 16, but I bet your soul knew where you WANTED to go when you were 7. Living Lucky Life Mapping is 100X more effective when guided, but the basics are pretty simple: 1. Segment your life out into di...

You are either intentionally programing yourself (setting your intention), or you are being programmed by society and the highest paid marketers in the world. 60,000 - 70,000 thoughts a day, 90% of those thoughts are the same day after day after day.  These thoughts are what influence our emotions... how we feel about the day and about our lives.  Our emotional state influences the actions we take...

Are you ready to create the life you crave? I spent too long exhausting myself just "doing".  I don't know if this makes sense to anyone, but I got up every day and went to work from about 7am to 6:30 or 7pm and I was great at my job, but didn't feel like I was really living a life that was exciting or inspiring.  I was trying to find it by doing what everyone else was doing. T...

Are you ready to live the life you crave? The first step is to have a crystal clear vision of what you want your life experience to look and feel like each day and overall (and there is a lot involved here). Try new things along the path to the life you crave. Get out of your comfort zone. Find the fun over the fear. Create energy in the experiences.  One of the most beautiful truths in life is th...

Are you ready to creat the life you crave? What part of your life needs a fresh coat of paint? Dress the part of the role you want to play in life. Feel into the experience you want to have. Create awareness around where you are and what you have vs. where you want to be and what you want out of life then mind the gap. The gap is where we fill in the steps. Empowering questions provide the answers...
