Operation Be: The Podcast

This wasn’t planned at all. Join me for an extremely candid conversation about overwhelm and a look into the ways I handle it in my life now. And the ways I used to, and why/how I’ve changed it for the better.    Questions? Suggestions for future show topics? Email me me@jamiethurber.com DM me on social media and say “Podcast Q”  . . .

Sometimes something so small can turn into a deeper conversation that you never saw coming. Like coffee and the choice to lean away from the “hip” thing and more into the choice of what is physically better for me.    Caffeine talk turns to a chat on the responsibility of our choices. Tune in, it’s a good one.   Mentioned in this episode; Michelle - www.thetwigandfeather.com @twigandfeathershop on...

What if someone could teach us how to receive ass pats, high fives, AND accountability and firmness around holding up our end of the bargain?   It seems to not even be on the map with most of what is presented to us when it comes to “being successful” or personal/professional development and honestly, that’s a sad realization. I wanted to show you that it doesn’t have to be this way. Let’s dive st...

Purging your space, your energy, and your stuff can create more for you than you realize.   In this episode I share how I arrive to this desire every season and how it fits right into the preparation to not only feel better but actually get to enjoy the things you love most about the summer time.    Adding intention and responsibility to the mix might just blow your socks off! Let's dive in. If yo...

“I'm not required to give them an explanation”. Someone recently reminded me of the first time I made this declaration to the world and how it impacted her. It inspired me to record this episode because I think all of the humans need to hear this (especially my mid-west gang). I welcome you to give this a listen and then stop doing it. Let go of the need to explain, or the obligation to. Let go of...

In this day and age, it’s not abnormal for someone to very openly request another to change around their own lives in order to meet one's specific needs… we do this without even considering the other person's lives, time, or needs.   Then what happens? The person apologizes for not having the availability OR they change they’re own stuff to make room for someone else's.    It’s so ass-backwards an...

Hiring a coach, finding a mentor or teacher... It should be something really exciting but it seems that it comes a source of massive stress for a lot of people. And it makes sense given the number of cases you hear about where someone has had a bad experience with a not so professional coach.    In this episode I go through some things you can use to determine who is the right person for you. What...

Sometimes you just need to brew yourself a cup of coffee, sit down with freezing toes in an apartment built in 1875, and chat.    In this episode I share some things that are going on in my world to show that no matter how many whirlwinds may occur within a 24 hour period, that doesn’t mean that you have to caulk that off as a bad day.   Let’s stop missing out on the opportunities to LIVE.  . . ....

What if I told you part of why you’re always feeling drained can be solved by honoring the energy exchange that happens when you’re interacting with anyone or anything?   Yes, you read that right. With every scroll, every text, every call you’re exchanging energy with someone (and probably not realizing it at all).   In this episode we talk about how to identify where energy exchanges may be affec...

Delegation isn’t just hiring people into a business, it can look a lot like asking for help or the dreaded---allowing someone to support you!  Scary, I know. In all seriousness, there’s a bit of a stigma around delegation... when to do it, who should do it, why you should do it, and how to do it In this episode we talk about the real questions you should be asking yourself when it comes to opening...

Security, stability, foundation. It’s time we start thinking about them differently. If we started looking at them as something that we can ultimately create for ourselves, then everything shifts. In this episode I explain a few ways that you can shift things in the way you’re building or operating so that your stability is connected to YOU. It’s not contingent on anyone else.   That’s a powerful...

The more you know, the more you can start to manipulate your current reality into the one you want.    That’s not just airy bs either. The thing you wish you had more of? Well you could if you were more familiar with the details of it, the facts, if you tracked it.    What you track, grows.   In this episode I will walk you through several scenarios where this method of thinking and tracking WORKS...

The gift of self-awareness. It started with the question of “what the hell IS self awareness anyway?” after I heard one of my favorite speakers mention it in a keynote speech. It started me down a path that I’m still actively traveling 4 years later.    One that I believe has been one of the most rewarding rabbit holes I’ve ever dove down. And I dove head first. In this episode I go deep-deep into...

New year- new me   Ha. Nope. That’s not how it works. We all know that 9 times out of 10, resolutions don’t stick.    In this episode I go into the depth of why they don’t work and how we’re so programmed/pressured to create them so we do it anyway.    I believe in setting a theme for the year that blankets over the months to come so every action you take is connected by that core desire or way yo...

Output vs. Input Consume vs. Create High Producer AND Self-care?    I know now a lot of people believe that it is not possible to have a work-life balance OR feel as if you’re actually handling all of the things in your life, business, job, family, health, etc. at the same time without going insane or being stressed to the max. I’m here to tell you that it IS in fact, possible.    This conversatio...

After changing everything I could possibly think of to try and stop feeling drained I finally admitted that I might have some serious burnout… Which led to me making a massive change in the way I have been conducting business… and myself. In this episode I take you down the weird road I’ve been traveling since implementing this new way of operating. The good stuff. The strange stuff. The annoying...

I was in the shower pondering on the way different people approach different situations and I thought about that question; What do you do when people are shitty to you?   Well, I feel like we all may have a go-to reaction that we’ve developed over the years when faced with people being sucky towards us but is that really the best option?   Is reacting the way you always have… helping YOU?   I real...

Life happens. It happens to all of us and we all have different circumstances BUT we all do get a choice on how we choose to handle it.    The thing is, you may see someone else and think, “Nothing bad ever happens to them.” but that’s fake news! Life doesn’t go according to planned for anyone, not all of the time anyway... people just handle it differently and that is what you’re seeing. It’s not...

“You need to put the phone down and be present with me!”  “But how dare you not answer when I call you!”   Dude, the hypocrisy around our expectations of each other when it comes to being accessible is out of control.   From the unrealistic expectations, to the unhealthy attachments, to the anxiety inducing fear that either someone is mad at us because they didn’t respond to the fear that if I don...

Change starts with one person. Basically, you can change your way of existing simply by making a commitment to yourself to live in a place of integrity and truth. Whatever that means to you personally.    Honestly, I feel like this statement is way overused and drastically under-explained, so in the episode I share with you the story of how it became such an impactful statement in my life and also...

How do you overcome fear?  Become fearless.    Those are the big topics around how to push past a block or fear of something new, or big, or exciting. I’d been asked for years how to overcome fear and I gotta tell you, it’s probably a much different response than you’re expecting.   Share your own fear tackling tips with us at me@jamiethurber.com or on our page facebook.com/jamiethurber.biz   Ment...

There’s a piece of my reality that I rarely talk about, up until recently that is.  It’s something I’ve lived with, learned to navigate, and have had to focus on daily for 20 years. It’s also something that makes me who I am. It’s something I know I’m not an island about. It’s something that most people can relate to but never want to say anything because we feel like we’re complaining or making e...

The idea of perfection is sometimes a silent killer, especially when that seems to be all you’re seeing shown to you.    In this episode, I simply wanted to talk about the reality that most people don’t want you to see. My hope is that you can listen to this and realize that you’re not alone, that we’re all human, and that we all deserve some grace.    Questions? Comments? Email me directly at me@...

The struggle. The war. The fight. The battle.  Do you find yourself using these words when describing your day, something that's happened to you, or maybe just life in general? In this episode we debunk the use of these words and go through first, why they’re so damaging and secondly, how to start approaching life differently so it’s not always something that requires a sword and shield.    I also...
