Because, one of the biggest lies we’re taught, and it shows up everywhere, in relationships, in spirituality, even in how we talk about God and that is that love is something we’re supposed to get from outside ourselves.

Wherever you are in this conversation, I want you to know — this is not about judgment. T...

Welcome back, friends. In our last episode, we discovered that true focus is not about discipline or willpower—it’s about passion. We saw that when you care deeply, focus comes naturally.

Maybe you’ve closed the chapter of your car...

Welcome, friends, to today’s episode. Let me begin by asking you a simple question: Would you love to have more focus in life? We’ve all seen people who seem laser-focused—whether it’s an Olympic athlete in training, an entrepreneur building a business, or a musician pouring heart and soul into their craft. We admire them, maybe even wonder: “How do they do it? How do they stay so focused?” At fir...
