Street Parking Podcast

Treat your future like it's your child. Would you let your kid eat pizza and cake all day and watch cartoons, and never go outside and give them whatever they wanted whenever they wanted because that's what they wanted right now? Or would you make decisions that would allow them to become a successful adult with tools to effectively navigate the world?    The past does not make you. It does not pr...

Welp, I am now officially in my 40s. That used to sound so old to me.

On this week's episode of the SP Mamas Podcast, I had the pleasure to speak with Nelly Perin. She shares about the birth of her oldest daughter and her intense struggles with breastfeeding, postpartum anxiety, and dealing with the guilt of not being able to connect with her first born child. Nelly is such a bright light in the Street Parking Community. Her authenticity and vulnerability is inspiri...

Comparison is in our DNA. Sometimes comparing ourselves, comparing others, comparing ideas and things is important and constructive. Sometimes it is negative and destructive. We make comparisons constantly. It makes sense that would develop our ability to make comparisons that serve and enrich us, and avoid comparisons that steal our joy!   00:00 - Breathing 01:25 - Comparison is the thief of joy...

So much changes from summer to fall. Especially this year. Kids go back to school and it looks very different, or they don't go back to school and it looks very different. The weather changes, there is less daylight. We are naturally wired to start craving sweeter things and be less active in preparation for the harsh winters. Luckily in this modern era, we don't have to worry about surviving the...

Our senses can be misleading. We are constantly bombarded by external stimuli from every angle. They are like storms crashing on our brains. By taking action to quiet these storms, it becomes possible to understand our behaviors, to understand and be compassionate toward others, and to experience the Truth.    00:00 - Breathing  03:00 - Sound 10:15 - "Realize with your real eye that real lies rely...

Is it better to understand or to be understood? Have you ever actually won an argument? How did it feel? What did you win? Did you get a prize? We all hopefully understand the importance of understanding over being understood, yet we often act and interact in ways that contradict this.    00:00 - Breathing  01:30 - Is it better to understand or be understood?  06:10 - Social Media is weird  10:00...

Patience is a skill. What if I told you that practicing patience could improve your blood pressure, stress levels, lower anxiety, improve your sleep, digestion, and metabolism? Now, more than ever, it is essential to develop the skill of patience in a world of accelerating distractions and gratifications.    00:00 - Breathing  01:30 - Patience  03:15 - Impatience  10:00 - Practice Patience    What...

This week on Jeb in Flow we're talking about mental toughness as it applies to physical training and other areas of life in which that may be a requirement. This is a term that is overused and terribly misunderstood. Many people think "If I was more mentally tough, I could push harder so if I push harder, I will become more mentally tough" Well, it's not that simple and that's also not exactly tru...

What are you doing for recovery? What is recovery? Is there a difference between a rest day, a recovery day, and a cheat day? The physiological adaptations that take place as a result of exercise do so during your recovery period. This qualifies the necessity not only of recovery but of being intentional and deliberate with how you choose to recover.    00:00 - Breathing 01:30 - Warm Ups 10:00 - R...

To compete, means to seek together. You can't dislike your opponent if your opponent brings out the best in you. Don't let your workouts tell you how fit you are. They are not a test or an assessment. Instead, they should be viewed as an opportunity to get better, to learn and to grow.     00:00 - Breathing  01:30 - Sports Entertainment  05:00 - Compete 07:50 - Don't let your workout tell you how...

Mirror neurons are a type of neuron that fire when a person performs a motor act and also when they observe another person performing the same or similar act.  Mirror neuron activity is observable earlier than 12 months old.  They've shed a lot of light on human social interaction.    We are social creatures. We mirror what we experience or what we see others experience. If we are constantly watch...

But Jeb, haven't you repeatedly told us that it's all about making decisions? Well, yes.  But what if you made certain areas of your life so automatic that you didn't even need to decide whether you were going to do them or not? Did you know that making decisions requires energy? Perhaps there are some cases where we could better spend that energy elsewhere.    00:00 - Breathing Practice  03:50 -...

Just like with body composition, genetics play a large role in our sense of happiness. There are many studies and mountains of evidence to support the fact that material things or drastic positive life changing events like winning the lottery, getting married or getting a promotion don't actually increase our long-term happiness. But there is one way to raise our happiness set point, and it involv...

What does RX even mean? Why is it important? Well, it isn't. And what's up with the warm-ups? Why spend 10 minutes or more warming up for a 10-15 minute workout?

Yes. The answer is yes. We are there yet, kind of. There is no "there" and there is no "yet". We will only ever be right here, right now. So "there" is here, and "yet" is now. We did it, we made it!!

What does it mean to "act right"? I'll tell you what it means to me… be humble. "Act Right" means to be "right sized". We've all either tried to puff up our chests and act big and bad or we've made ourselves small and put others way up above us on a pedestal. Amazing things happen when we stay on that middle path and actively work at being right sized.   00:00 - What does it mean to "Act Right"? 0...
