Message to Our Kids

Today, I want to share a personal story that revolves around a topic close to my heart: the pain of our past. It's about those lingering emotions and traumas we've buried deep inside, the ones we haven't fully faced or processed. When faced with challenging situations like heartbreak or traumatic events, our instinct is often to endure and push through. We seek support from our loved ones, coaches...

Today, I want to share a message of hope and courage with you. No matter what daunting task or new venture we undertake, whether it's starting a business, pursuing dreams, or rebuilding relationships, we face challenges. But amidst the difficulties, we celebrate every small victory.  Undeniably, the road ahead is challenging and far from easy. Starting something new is never a simple task, and man...

Today, we want to address a trap that the $10 billion self-development industry has set for those on the path of self-improvement. It's time to bypass the cycle of self-limiting beliefs and embrace true transformation. In your quest for personal growth, you've probably encountered countless coaches, consultants, and trainers who promise to help you unearth and overcome your limiting beliefs. And w...

On today's episode Laura and I share a morning ritual we do together that helps us sustain our connection to each other. As You know, one of the keys to finding balance in life is discovering those moments of stillness amidst the chaos.  What I truly appreciate about the work we've done in our relationship is how Laura always holds up a mirror for me to see myself, even when I'm deeply immersed in...

When I stop you and give you tidings of the future and say:   "Don't condemn your family tree."   You're probably not aware that is what you are doing...   and you're not just doing it to your immediate family, but your larger extended family—your brothers, sisters, their spouses, aunts, uncles, cousins and grandparents etc etc who make up your family tree.   This is something I see EVEN INSIDE MY...

Today, I want to talk to you about discernment.  A few weeks ago, I touched upon this topic in one of our previous episodes, emphasizing the importance of spiritual guidance to distinguish truth from falsehood. Today, I'll take you on a journey, connecting the dots and offering you a breakthrough perspective on life. Let's talk about the power of emotional connection, which often happens through m...

Wow, it's been seven years since I met my beautiful wife, Laura and she will be joining me again today. I want to share with you a personal journey of self-awareness and growth that I've been on with my beautiful wife, Laura.  It all began with a realization that I had been chasing money, thinking it would bring me happiness and meaning. But I reached a point where I knew there had to be more to l...

The game we're playing is all about finding that equilibrium between light and dark. I've witnessed it happen to both men and women. We often talk about this eternal dance between the two, like the yin and yang symbol. It represents the constant ebb and flow, the dance we engage in daily with reality. This dance defines our human experience. We navigate through life, relationships, and ourselves,...

I'm joined today by the love of my life, Laura. We've received so much amazing feedback from our previous episode together. It seems like you guys really resonated with our conversation. It's incredible how God is guiding us through this journey. Today, we want to dive into a topic that's prevalent in relationships: the interplay of light and darkness. We've been discussing this theme in recent ep...

Today I talk about the power of unity and standing strong. These past few weeks have been eye-opening and incredibly interesting as I've witnessed the couples we've worked with navigate the challenges we've guided them through. From the very beginning, my wife and I made a decision that we wouldn't face these battles alone but together. We adopted a mantra of sorts: "We don't fight alone, we fight...

Today I want to talk to you about something weighing heavily on my mind. Lately, there has been a noticeable shift in the intensity of the messages we share in public spaces, as well as within my coaching calls and personal life. This intensity stems from the realization of what truly happens within relationships. If only you could see it from my perspective, or better yet, experience it firsthand...

Today, I want to talk to you about something deeply personal and relatable: the journey of creating safe spaces within ourselves to let our inner struggles and emotions find expression. When I began my own path of self-development, I realized there were aspects of myself that needed attention. These were the parts that, if left unaddressed, would wreak havoc in my life. It wasn't about defeating o...

Today, I have my amazing wife, Laura Norman, joining me, and we're having a real conversation about life, love, and parenting. Opening up and sharing our experiences isn't easy for me, but I want to talk about something we touched on earlier—being the one who loves more in a relationship. Laura mentioned how it would be wonderful if our partners loved us just as intensely as we love them.  In her...

Today I want to share something personal with you. We're diving deep into the challenges of marriage and how it can lead us down a difficult path. This week, our focus is on identifying the darkness within our relationships and recognizing the warning signs before it's too late. Many men, including myself in the past, tend to sleepwalk through their marriages. They're unaware that problems are bre...

 Today I want to share a personal and heartfelt message with you. See, when I talk about divorce or separation not being the solution, I'm talking about the darkness that resides within both you and your partner. You might believe that leaving this person, whom you think is toxic, a narcissist, or abusive, will solve everything. Every couple I've worked with starts by venting and unloading all the...

Today I want to share a deeply personal story with you. But before we dive in, I want to take a moment to acknowledge someone very special to me—my wife, Laura. Today is her birthday, June 3, 2023 and I just want to say, happy birthday, Laura! Now, let's talk about relationships and the journey we all go through. You see, there are moments in life that shape us, and for me, one of those moments ha...

Today, I want to talk to you about something that hits close to home for many of us couples out there. It's about conquering time and creating the marriage of our dreams. We all know that life has its ups and downs. Just like the sun rises and sets every day, our relationships go through seasons of light and darkness. It's inevitable, and we can't escape it. However, what we can do is prepare for...

Today, I want to talk to you about something personal—knowing your true identity.  Eastern traditions like Buddhism, often emphasize finding balance within ourselves. But what happens when we find ourselves trapped in the darkness, lingering there for years? Some people never even make it to this stage; they remain lost and disconnected from the possibility of stepping into the light. These lost s...

I once found myself in darkness. It seemed like my whole world was consumed by shadows, and I couldn't understand how I had ended up there. Everything had been going well in my life - my business, my relationships, everything was in perfect harmony. But then, almost out of nowhere, I woke up in a place of deep darkness. It was a place I didn't want to be, a place that didn't align with the life I...

Today, I want to talk about something that has been on my mind a lot lately, and I believe it's something many of us can relate to. You see, I've been reflecting on a powerful message from the Bible, specifically Matthew 15:13, which says, "Every plant my Heavenly Father has not planted will be pulled up by the roots." As I've been working with my clients and the people I serve, one topic that kee...

Today, I want to dive into an interesting topic that came up recently thanks to a friend of mine. They shared a quote with me, jokingly asking if it sounded like something I would say in a sermon. As I read it, I couldn't help but see the flawed logic in it. The quote suggested that the moon is more useful than the sun because it gives us light at night when it's dark, while the sun only shines du...

Today I want to have a personal conversation with you about natural talents, gifts, and abilities.  When I first embarked on this journey with the people I work with, we started by assessing their strengths. It was fascinating to see how most individuals, including myself, initially react to the results. We often find ourselves nodding in agreement, recognizing the talents that are already familia...

Today I want to talk about something personal and close to my heart: inheriting limiting beliefs from our parents. First things first, let's talk about my own family background. Unlike some others, I didn't grow up in a broken family. My parents are still happily married, and I didn't witness them arguing or any kind of physical violence. From my father, I inherited something truly valuable: the b...

Today we're going to talk about a topic that hits close to home: providing is not enough. I've seen this struggle in the men I've worked with over the years, and I've personally fallen into the same trap.  Let me take you back to my own experience. I met the love of my life, we built a relationship together, got engaged, and decided to get married. We were starting out, and income was a concern. W...

I wanted to share a saying that my grandfather once told me before he passed away. It really struck a chord with me and made me think deeply about its meaning. He said, "I have never met anybody in my life who's had to use the eraser end of the pencil more than you." You see, a pencil has two ends—the writing end and the eraser end. When my grandfather said that I used the eraser end a lot, he was...
