STRESSPROOF Podcast

So many people have been making HUGE life decisions in May (and even now) that I had to recast this original episode. Key takeaways include: making decisions from abundance vs. lack, playing to win and not playing NOT to lose, taking emotional responsibility as a form of personal power, deciding what you will make of it no matter what, and so much more! Whether you already made your decision or no...

It's natural for our brain to think in worst case scenarios. It's a protective mechanism that has helped us for thousands of years. Yet, when we go over the same negative thoughts over and over again it starts to wear on us mentally, emotionally, and even physically. We start to lose sleep, we can't make decisions easily, and we even start to lose our patience with the people we love the most. So...

Before we can do the work of managing our monkey mind and monkey feelings, we have to first understand WHAT THE HECK we are reacting to. Is it really the email? That person? Or the decision we have to make? Why do we jump to believing every thought in our brain? Are we even aware that this is exactly what we are doing? We answer all this and more in this week's podcast. Listen now. LATEST ANNOUNCE...

Ever wonder how that one person at work is getting all of the recognition and seems to be gliding through life despite the fact that you both have the same skills and capabilities to do the job? Today we're talking about the two ways we Personalize and why this one internal skill alone can make all the difference despite the number of external certifications you have. Listen now.

We're not talking about likes, how many connections you have on LinkedIn, or whether or not people notice you at work. What we're talking about today is whether or not you have someone who can truly SEE YOU. Your fears, what you lie awake at night thinking about, but also what you are fully capable of achieving in all of your potential. Most Stressed Out Successes go a great deal of their life nev...

The #1 mistake most Stressed Out Successes make when trying to feel better is that they take the WRONG ACTION such as: booking the meetings in order to resolve the issue themselves, trying to find another job because they think, "Maybe it's this environment.", or they spend their weekends in Napa hoping a ton of wine and good food will help them forget about "it". Can you relate to this too? The p...

Are you sure happiness is what you want in your life? Sure it feels great, but what if you learned that happiness is only a STATE… and that relying on happiness is what is actually keeping you unhappy because our minds and bodies are meant to feel different states all the time? In this week's podcast I'm breaking down the difference between happiness vs. purpose, and why most Stressed Out Successe...

Most Stressed Out Successes remain stressed because they jump to the thought they SHOULD be thinking… but don't yet believe. And this disharmony creates even more confusion. They think, "I know if I can just believe this thought that everything can change!" and end up feeling even more stressed and ashamed when they can't. For example, if you knew that all you had to believe was, "I'm going to kic...

You know what the problem is. You know what the solution is. So why are so many people still stressed? It's a sneaky thought that seems so logical and sounds like, "I know what I need to do.". The problem is, most Stressed Out Successes never realize that just because you know what you need to do on one level, doesn't necessarily mean you actually DO IT. Listen to this episode as I dig even furthe...

So many Stressed Out Successes outsource their FEELINGS based on their job, their projects, or what happens in their life to dictate how they get to feel. But if this really worked, then how is it that no matter how hard YOU tried to make someone else happy… it actually doesn't? This is because just as YOU can't MAKE someone feel a certain emotion when you want to, no one else can truly MAKE you f...

If you're human, then you know life can be tough. And sometimes we need a mirror to cut through what WE can't see in OURSELVES, so that we can actually create the change we need. And if you feel like you've read all the books, listened to all the podcasts, tried every meditation, and you STILL feel stuck? Then you know exactly what I mean. This is why coaching is so important. With that said, next...

What is the weather of your mind? How long has it been there? Is it recurrent? Do you like it? Were you aware of it before this moment? These are all questions we cover in this week's podcast as we dig deep into understanding that there is ALWAYS a weather pattern happening in our mind - and why the difference between being AWARE of this pattern vs UNAWARE will either keep you in misery and stagna...

There's anxiety we feel because we're imagining something terrible happening, and then there's the anxiety that seems to come out of nowhere, having us wonder, "Why me?" or "What is it now?" as we try to find the reason behind the way we suddenly feel. In this special episode, I want to have a conversation with those of you that feel sudden bouts of anxiety so that we can accomplish a few things:...

Many people live their life following old rules and living in outdated containers without ever stopping to check in and ask, "What do I really want?", "Who am I doing this for?", and "Is this who I am still?". In this week's episode I'm inviting you to a special new year challenge and that is… to do something NEW and RADICAL that will require a deep commitment of time but most importantly of yours...

In this special episode I'm introducing a new tool I have been using in my coaching practice to help Stressed Out Successes NEUTRALIZE stress; and that tool is astrology . Whether or not you believe in astrology, I'm breaking down why it does not matter what I ultimately think, or whether it matters if something is "right" or "wrong", but that the question we should always be asking ourselves is,...

Every Stressed Out Successes is guilty of booking a vacation hoping to get their bearings back only to realize they're stressing on a beautiful sandy beach or warm cozy cabin. What gives? Your brain and your heart… because most Stressed Out Successes are also forgetting that you take your brain and your heart with you - WHEREVER you go! With that said, does that mean we throw our vacations out the...

For years, I journaled on the same four issues: weight, love, jobs, and friendships. Until one day I realized it wasn't about the problems I was trying to solve... it was all of the type of thoughts I was thinking ABOUT the problem that kept me IN the problem with no resolution! Journaling doesn't solve your problems, at least not the conventional method of how most Stressed Out Successes use jour...

So many hopes and dreams are still written on pieces of paper or left hanging on people's vision board because of one thing - they stopped believing. And it's NOT because "it" wasn't possible, it's because one day you decided it wasn't worth believing in. Which is kind of silly because do we stop our career because our first job wasn't what we thought it would be? NO! Except that is exactly what w...

Believe it or not most Stressed Out Successes deny their feeling depressed because of their ability to continue as a highly functioning adult. Maybe you can still excel in your job, be highly engaging in a conversation, or even help other people feel better. And yet, why is it that when you're all alone in the confines of your own home or even in those moments when you're in the restroom by yourse...

Why is it that some people are able to resolve problems quickly while others get stuck feeling stressed out and confused as to what to do next? One of the biggest reasons for this is because most Stressed Out Successes are unaware of the two phases of working through a problem. Phase One is where most people get stuck. They recycle past evidence of what was possible for them and equally recycle fu...

Does it always feel as if your mind can do so much more than your body? Do you ever feel as if your body just can't keep up with the demands of your life? And is feeling this way causing you to feel even more frustrated at yourself and even your body? This is a special episode where I talk all about the common pain points most Stressed Out Successes feel when their body just can't keep up. We're t...

Most Stressed Out Successes are running on empty because they're forgetting that natural "give and take" principle that lives inside of us in order to function optimally. And in order to explain how this process works, I want to invite you to think about your brain and emotional centers as if they were your personal ATMs. Most people take and take without ever realizing there needs to be a recipro...

Most Stressed Out Successes spend a majority of their time trying to resolve the problem so they don't have to feel so stressed. There's nothing wrong with that but if you still feel stressed even after you've solved your problem, there are two critical mistakes you might be making. One, you're not working on the real problem (and if you've ever switched companies or teams and STILL felt terrible...
