"Dreading something is, in fact, making plans for it to suck." This powerful insight sets the stage for a transformative exploration of how our expectations quite literally create our experiences. When we "pre-pave" events or interactions with negative anticipation, we're essentially programming ourselves for disappointment before anything has even happened.
Consider how this plays out in your daily life. That meeting with the difficult colleague. The family gathering you're obligated to attend. The challenging project looming on your calendar. By mentally rehearsing how unpleasant these experiences will be, you're unconsciously setting an intention for precisely that outcome. But what if there's another way?And, as a special bonus, I want to give you FREE access to my signature course, Slay Your Year (usually $997)! All you have to do is:

Perfectionism might be the thief that's stealing your joy and you don't even realize it. What if the only upgrade you truly need is your thinking? In this thought-provoking episode, I explore our tendency to zero in on tiny imperfections while completely missing the beauty of what's already before us.
Think about those vacation photos where all you notice is your messy hair or that awkward sign in the background - missing entirely that these images capture beautiful, irreplaceable moments. Or consider how we do this with people: having an ambitious, loving partner but fixating on their occasional lateness, or enjoying a stable job but complaining about the office snacks (yes, those Oreos became a legitimate point of contention at my previous workplace!).And, as a special bonus, I want to give you FREE access to my signature course, Slay Your Year (usually $997)!

Feeling exhausted has become almost a badge of honor in today's hyper-productive culture. We push through tiredness, override our desires, and fill our calendars with obligations until we can barely recognize what we truly want anymore. This disconnect between our actions and our authentic desires is exactly what I witnessed while coaching a high-achieving woman recently.
Despite being typically decisive, this woman found herself paralyzed by a simple weekend decision. As we worked through her mental fatigue, I asked her to set aside all external expectations and answer one question: "What do you want?" The answer wasn't about productivity, networking, or self-improvement.And, as a special bonus, I want to give you FREE access to my signature course, Slay Your Year (usually $997)!

Have you ever stopped to marvel at how dramatically different your life is from those who lived just a few centuries ago? Drawing from recent explorations into historical literature and media, this episode reveals the extraordinary power of human imagination that shapes our everyday reality.
Picture this: ancestors trudging to wells for water while we enjoy hot showers at the touch of a button. The wealthy of yesteryear laboriously filling bathtubs with heated buckets while modern plumbing gives us instant comfort. These transformations didn't happen by accidentâthey began as ideas in someone's mind.
What we casually call "manifesting" today is actually conscious creation stemming from our uniquely human capacity to imagine possibilities that don't yet exist. From running water to air conditioning, from pillows to skyscrapers, everything beneficial in our modern world began as someone's "crazy idea." No other species possesses this extraordinary ability to envision and then bring into being.And, as a special bonus, I want to give you FREE access to my signature course, Slay Your Year (usually $997)!

What does genuine self-love actually look like in practice? Beyond the spa days and positive affirmations lies something far more profound: the courage to define success on your own terms.
Society constantly bombards us with metrics of achievement that rarely align with what truly fulfills us. While external definitions of success vary across cultures and communitiesâsome valuing certain professions over others, some prioritizing status symbolsâthey all share a common thread: they're externally imposed rather than internally derived. Fame, money, and influence are universally celebrated, yet chasing these without questioning their personal relevance keeps us trapped in cycles of validation-seeking.
As someone who left a $500,000 tech position to pursue coaching a decade ago, I can attest that following your heart's guidanceâeven when it appears irrational to othersâcan be the most profound act of self-love possible. True self-love manifests as a self-directed life where your energy, time, and resources flow toward what genuinely matters to you. This might look like making career changes or simply choosing where to eat lunch based on your authentic preferences rather than external expectations.And, as a special bonus, I want to give you FREE access to my signature course, Slay Your Year (usually $997)!

Anxiety strikes at the most unexpected moments, even when everything seems perfect on the surface. That's exactly what happened to me recentlyâbusiness thriving, marriage solid, health goodâyet there I was, feeling uncharacteristically anxious for days. My immediate response? Desperately searching for the cause so I could eliminate it quickly.
This reflexive resistance to uncomfortable emotions is something most of us do. We reach for quick fixesâa glass of wine, online shopping, social media scrollingâanything to escape the discomfort. But as I reminded myself during that anxious period, "whatever we resist persists." Those emotions we try to banish only stick to us more stubbornly, like Velcro to our consciousness.
The breakthrough came when I shifted from chasing happiness to pursuing clarity instead. Rather than fighting against anxiety, I allowed it to exist, acknowledging its temporary nature. As Martha Beck wisely advises, "Get out of your head and into your hands." Simple physical activitiesâreorganizing a drawer, sorting through old makeup, arranging clothes by colorâcan pull us out of the tyranny of anxious thoughts. These mundane tasks become powerful tools for breaking anxiety's grip by redirecting our attention to something tangible and present.And, as a special bonus, I want to give you FREE access to my signature course, Slay Your Year (usually $997)!

Have you ever completed something important and felt nothing but relief? That subtle response might be a warning sign you're living in survival mode without even realizing it. Throughout my own journey, I discovered this pattern in myselfâfinishing significant projects and immediately moving on instead of celebrating achievements. This episode unpacks this common tendency, particularly prevalent among high-achieving individuals, to chase the next exhale rather than experience true satisfaction.
Relief certainly has its place in our emotional spectrum. That flood of gratitude when finding a lost item or avoiding a dreaded mistake is valuable. But are we shortchanging ourselves by setting our emotional ceiling there? Where is the accomplishment, joy, peace, satisfaction, and celebration? Many of us have trained ourselves to bypass these elevated states entirely, conditioning ourselves to perpetually seek the next challenge before processing our wins.And, as a special bonus, I want to give you FREE access to my signature course, Slay Your Year (usually $997)!

Have you ever noticed how a seemingly small commitment can hijack your entire day? That's the paradox we explore in this thought-provoking episode about the hidden cost of saying yes to minor requests.
I share a personal experience that many of us will find painfully familiar â agreeing to a brief 10-minute appearance at a friend's book launch while recovering from jet lag. Despite the actual event requiring minimal time, I found myself in "waiting mode" for hours, unable to fully relax or focus on her needed recovery. This phenomenon, beautifully captured in Charles Dickens' observation that "the mere consciousness of an engagement will sometimes worry a whole day," affects us all more than we might realize.And, as a special bonus, I want to give you FREE access to my signature course, Slay Your Year (usually $997)!

Why does making money in a corporate job feel easier than earning as ourselves? This question perfectly captures a struggle so many face when transitioning to entrepreneurship or self-employment.
The answer lies deeper than mere confidence or skill. When we earn as our full selves, we experience a vulnerability that corporate structures shield us from. Standing behind a company logo means rejection feels less personalâit's the organization being rejected, not us. But when we put our own name and face forward, everything changes. The fear of judgment intensifies, and our nervous system responds accordingly.And, as a special bonus, I want to give you FREE access to my signature course, Slay Your Year (usually $997)!

Have you ever wondered why certain people in your life constantly try to control situations and manipulate others? Today's episode offers a profound insight that might forever change how you view these challenging dynamics.
Drawing from wisdom shared by Abraham Hicks, I explore the revolutionary concept that "people who don't calibrate manipulate." This simple yet powerful observation explains so much about human behavior and our relationships. When someone hasn't developed the ability to regulate their own emotionsâto calibrate themselves to different situationsâthey often resort to controlling others as a way to feel better.And, as a special bonus, I want to give you FREE access to my signature course, Slay Your Year (usually $997)!

Deciphering the subtle language of our inner guidance system can be tricky, especially when our hearts pull us toward situations that might not serve our highest good. This revealing episode tackles a question many of us face: How do we know when that compelling urge to take action (particularly with past relationships) is divine intuition versus our ego playing tricks?
Drawing from listener questions about reconnecting with exes, I unpack the crucial differences between true inspired action and ego-driven impulses. While both can generate excitement, they lead to vastly different outcomes. True intuition guides us toward expansion despite sometimes seeming impractical or riskyâ"It's like God talking to us, saying 'I've got you.'" Meanwhile, ego-based urges often arise from momentary loneliness or boredom, disguising themselves as intuition while potentially leading us back to harmful situations.And, as a special bonus, I want to give you FREE access to my signature course, Slay Your Year (usually $997)!

Do you ever feel that subtle, persistent belief that you might be failing? That gnawing sense that your life isn't unfolding as it should? You're not alone in this feeling â and what if it's not actually a problem at all?
I recently had a fascinating conversation with a friend who successfully transitioned from corporate life to becoming a full-time artist. By conventional standards, she'd "made it" â her work was selling well and her business was thriving. Yet surprisingly, she found herself dissatisfied. "I thought I would be living in bliss," she confessed, "but I'm not enjoying creating commissioned work for others." Her experience perfectly illustrates the tension we all face at various stages of our journey.And, as a special bonus, I want to give you FREE access to my signature course, Slay Your Year (usually $997)!

Ever feel paralyzed by decision-making? Worried about making the "wrong" choice? That ends today.
Through a seemingly simple story about deciding whether to attend a Kylie Minogue concert, I reveal a profound truth that transforms every decision you'll ever make. The revelation? It's not about making the right decision; it's about making the decision right.
Most of us approach choices with anxiety, focusing on external factors we can't control. We agonize over career moves, relationships, and even concert tickets as if the decision itself determines our happiness. But I flip this concept completely, demonstrating that your experience of any situation is 100% determined by your commitment and attitude after deciding.And, as a special bonus, I want to give you FREE access to my signature course, Slay Your Year (usually $997)!

Have you ever noticed how quickly a coffee date can turn into a complaint session? That lunch with friends where everyone's griping about work, relationships, or the news? What if there was a better way?
A beautiful glass mug with a Lao Tzu quote became my unexpected life philosophy: "Come, let us have some tea and continue to talk about happy things." This simple statement contains profound wisdom about how we choose to engage with others and the world around us.
The magic lies not just in suggesting we discuss positive topics, but in the word "continue" â implying that talking about happy things should be our default state. We don't need to manufacture joy; we can simply recognize and extend it.And, as a special bonus, I want to give you FREE access to my signature course, Slay Your Year (usually $997)!

What's that one thing you're avoiding right now? The number on the scale? Your credit card statement? Your career progress? We all have something we'd rather not face, but this avoidance comes at a steep cost.
Denial drains our energy and magnifies our fears. When we refuse to acknowledge our current reality, we're actually practicing a subtle form of self-rejectionâhoping that if we don't look at something, it somehow doesn't exist. This magical thinking keeps us circling the same level, unable to move forward.
The paradox is beautiful though: accepting where you are today isn't admitting defeatâit's claiming your power. Today's situation was created by yesterday's decisions and thinking, making it already old news. The moment you face reality, you collapse the timeline to your goals because you're finally operating from truth rather than illusion.And, as a special bonus, I want to give you FREE access to my signature course, Slay Your Year (usually $997)!

What if twenty minutes could completely transform how you approach every decision in your life? That's exactly what defining success on your terms can do.
The vast majority of people never take time to articulate what success truly means to them personally. Instead, they chase conventional metrics - money, status, followers - without questioning if these achievements will actually bring fulfillment. As I discuss in this episode, this unconscious pursuit can lead to a dangerous outcome: "living a successful version of somebody else's life." It might look impressive from the outside, but feel empty within.And, as a special bonus, I want to give you FREE access to my signature course, Slay Your Year (usually $997)! All you have to do is:

"Delulu is the solulu" has become the unexpected rallying cry for dreamers across social mediaâbut is there actually wisdom in this playful phrase?
I've been fascinated watching this concept spread, even spotting my Miami dermatologist embrace it. He recently celebrated his thriving practice's anniversary by confessing he was "completely delulu" when he opened without researching how many competitors existed in the area. Yet his passion for skincare and genuine desire to serve patients propelled him forward despite having no evidence his venture would succeed.
This perfectly illustrates Wayne Dyer's revolutionary concept: "You'll see it when you believe it"ânot the reverse. Most people wait for physical proof before committing their faith, but true creation begins invisibly. The iPhone, electric cars, revolutionary artâall existed first as thoughts before manifesting as tangible realities. Every world-changing innovation started with someone willing to act on what I call "invisible evidence"âthat inner knowing that something is possible despite external appearances suggesting otherwise.And, as a special bonus, I want to give you FREE access to my signature course, Slay Your Year (usually $997)!

Have you ever felt completely stuck in life, like you're a ball sitting motionless on the ground while everyone else seems to be moving forward with ease? That feeling of stagnation can be paralyzing - but what if I told you it's merely an illusion?
The truth is powerfully simple: you aren't stuck, you've just stopped. Momentum doesn't magically appear in our lives - we create it through consistent action. When we fall into passive waiting, hoping something external will change our circumstances, we unknowingly take what I call "a weakening drug" that only deepens our sense of immobility. The longer we wait, the more impossible movement seems.And, as a special bonus, I want to give you FREE access to my signature course, Slay Your Year (usually $997)! All you have to do is:

What if the very disruptions we fear are actually windows to our greatest opportunities? When life gets messy, uncomfortable, or downright scary, our natural reaction is to resistâto see disruption as a threat rather than a doorway. But as I've discovered through both personal and professional experiences, these moments of upheaval often contain hidden gifts for those willing to approach them with curiosity rather than fear.
Our brains are biologically programmed to seek safety and familiarity, making change feel threatening by default. Whether it's a divorce, relocation, career shift, or significant loss, these disruptions initially bring pain and uncertainty. But with time and perspective, we often recognize them as necessary catalysts for growth. This realization comes from understanding a powerful truth: excitement and fear are the same energyâexcitement just includes breathing through it.And, as a special bonus, I want to give you FREE access to my signature course, Slay Your Year (usually $997)!

What if the path to peace was as simple as minding your own business? New York Times Bestselling author, therapist, and boundary expert Nedra Glover Tawwab joins us for a conversation that might forever change how you approach relationships, information consumption, and authenticity.
Nedra reveals her number one personal core valueâminding her own businessâand explores why this seemingly simple principle can transform our lives. We dive deep into why constantly focusing on others drains our energy and creates unnecessary drama. "Many of us need to be treated like toddlers," Nedra laughs, pointing out our tendency to comment and judge others when we'd be better served by focusing inward.
One of the most liberating insights Nedra shares is that people don't always want to understand you. When someone misinterprets or judges us, our instinct is to explain and defend. Yet Nedra suggests that sometimes, no amount of explanation will change another's narrative about us. "Context matters," she emphasizes, noting how stories about us depend entirely on who's telling them and what they choose to include or omit.
The conversation takes fascinating turns as we explore being "out of the loop" as a form of peace, how to set meaningful boundaries on social media, and what authentic self-expression really means. "Your authentic self doesn't mean it's the best version of you," Nedra challenges, suggesting that different parts of ourselves are appropriate in different contexts.
Perhaps most powerful is Nedra's approach to feedback. Rather than becoming defensive, she models openness to criticism, sharing how constructive feedback on her speaking styleâthough initially uncomfortableâultimately improved her presentations. This stance offers us all a blueprint for growth through receptivity rather than defensiveness.
With warmth, humor, and profound insight, Nedra offers a masterclass in boundary-setting that feels less about restriction and more about freedom. Whether you're struggling with people-pleasing, information overload, or simply feeling overwhelmed by others' expectations, this conversation provides practical wisdom for creating more peace in your everyday life.
