The Game Changer Podcast

Send us Fan Mail Life is never short of topics to write about!  But this time, my encounter at baggage claim, could not have been better timing as I am between two episodes on what it takes to stay Fired Up in your job, and next Monday’s show about getting out of your comfort zone and taking a chance to do what you love.  So imagine the impeccable timing of running across someone who clearly wante...

Send us Fan Mail In this week’s episode I bridge the topic of friendship, from Monday’s podcast, and the topic of my upcoming episodes on what it takes to truly pursue your dreams.  I have some really interesting shows coming up with very unique perspectives on what holds us back, and how to get past any internal dialogue that limits us.  Once we silence our inner critic (to the best of our abilit...

Send us Fan Mail This is a unique episode.  I get to share my friends Tammy and Selena with you, who are my weekly wine-Skype chat buddies.  This time is incredibly important to me, and means a great deal to each of us.  In this episode talk about the value of friendship, why it matters, and the importance of having people in your life that are “offensively honest”.  This snipit from my blog, for...

Send us Fan Mail This week I was interviewed on another podcast.  We chatted about whether or not people can actually make a mistake and how detrimental it is to avoid change and stay in your comfort zone.  As far as “mistakes” go, I simply don’t believe we ever make a mistake.  I think every decision we make, provides us feedback to either keep heading down that path, veer off a bit, or make a co...

Send us Fan Mail What a week! I have a new appreciation for anyone who has ever had food poisoning.  Possibly the worst physical eight hours I have ever endured.  (I think my bathroom is still recovering.)  However, it left me stuck on the couch all day Sunday, with nothing to do but move through another season of Game of Thrones.   Albeit, it’s only Season 2, I am getting in the game!  In this sh...

Send us Fan Mail Inspiration comes from the oddest of places.  For me this week, it has come from a gas pump at a gas station.  As you can see by the picture, there is streaming video on each of the pumps.  It got me to thinking that we truly have become so dependent upon input and entertainment, that the mere thought of three minutes of silence would be too much.  So just how often do we go out o...

Send us Fan Mail I think by now we have all heard of visualization and the impact it can have on anything you are trying to accomplish.  This is everything from sports, weight loss, muscle growth, test outcomes, pay raises… the list is endless.  The difference between intention and visualization is, intention is focusing on what the intended outcome is of whatever you want, and visualization is li...

Send us Fan Mail Whether or not you have ever taken a yoga class, I’m sure you have a certain expectation of what will happen.  It will probably be peaceful, have some sort of new-agey type of music playing softly in the background, and everyone will be more flexible than gumby.  Well, let me tell you, none of that goes on here in S. CA.  Not only is it NOT soft music, it’s Rave music played loude...

Send us Fan Mail If, in fact, problems cannot be solved with the same mind set that created them, as Albert Einstein once said, what are we to do?  This is why mentorship and coaching is so valuable.  To find a different solution, you must ask different questions.  You must get out of the box you are in, and find another way.  As I am in-between two very important interviews on addiction, this con...

Send us Fan Mail Who do you go to for advice?  Do you stop and ask yourself what their agenda might be?  Do they have any gain in what they are advising you to do?  This is a big reason why I encourage people to have a mentor or coach.  It is nearly impossible for someone IN your life to give you advice without it going through a filter of their own personal gain.  A coach or mentor should have on...
