Every human knows what we should do, but most of us aren’t doing it.⠀⠀So what if you could hack into your mindset and start to work the same magic that a coach would?

What we breathe, eat, absorb… all of it affects our health. It’s what fuels our bodies. If anything we’re breathing, eating or even putting on our skin is not clean and our, it’s actually doing harm. Our bodies aren’t able to function properly.In the last few years I’ve gradually swapped out all my cleaning products, all the things I put on my skin, I bought a pretty good water filter… but there was one thing I only recently addressed, and that’s AIR QUALITY.In response to the Los Angeles fires, this episode feels even more urgent.Today we’re talking to Vinny Lobdell - he’s president of HealthWay – a family run business specializing in customized air cleaning systems for major hospitals, hotels and commercial office buildings.

Empaths feel and absorb other people’s emotions. We’re basically highly sensitive. ⠀⠀I sent out a survey a few weeks ago and ask what your biggest struggles are to painting a positive mindset, and one of the most common responses were absorbing other people’s negative energy.⠀⠀So I suspect that many of you are on the empath spectrum as well.⠀⠀It’s important to identify if you’re an empath or not because then you can actually learn to work with your sensitivities instead of being held back by them.⠀Your sensitivities can be a gift. It’s almost like heightened intuition.⠀⠀You can sense when something is wrong, when people are lying, or saying they’re fine when really they’re upset. You can connect to the universe’s guidance more deeply.⠀And best of all, you can start to learn where your real emotions end and where other’s begin.⠀⠀If you’ve a partial empath or just have trouble not taking on the bad vibes from other people, this episode will be highly valuable for you as well.⠀⠀Today we’re talking to Dr. Judith

Are you trapped in a job or career or even a life that you don’t love? Maybe You keep hearing about people quitting their jobs to pursue their passions and think, “that could never work for me.” Maybe you have bills and a family. Maybe you’ve invested too much in your current career to let it go.⠀⠀Or maybe, you don’t even really know what your passion is, or what would truly make you happy.⠀⠀If this sounds like you, there’s nothing wrong with you. We aren’t taught this stuff. We’re taught to fit in, and match these academic standards of math and writing and reading books that don’t really affect our lives at all, and when our uniqueness shows, we’re often called weird for it.⠀⠀Our life paths shouldn’t fit a standard. Most great things don’t fit a standard. It’s the things that fall out of normal, that create greatness.⠀⠀There’s a reason it’s called extra ordinary. How do we step out of the ordinary?⠀⠀Today we’re talking to Marianne Cantwell. She was a digital nomad before there was a word for it. She was one

What if you could learn anything in just a few months? From learning a language to becoming skilled guitar player…⠀⠀What you learn becomes a part of you. It levels you up. So learning helps you become things. So let me ask this in another way, you could learn anything deeply and quickly, Who would you become?⠀⠀Growing up, most of us were taught specific ways to learn, but those ways aren’t very efficient and for some people, they’re not effective at all.⠀⠀The ability to learn fast and well is critical for more than just hobbies. You can learn new skills for your job, and you can even reinvent yourself for a totally new career.⠀⠀This episode is jam packed with actionable information… actually a whole proven framework about how to master any skill quickly.⠀⠀Today our guest is Scott Young, author of Ultralearning.⠀⠀Scott undertakes interesting self-education projects, like attempting to learn MIT’s four-year computer science curriculum in twelve months and learning four languages in one year… and what he’s learn

How many of you feel burnt out on life? Why is it then some people thrive the more they have going on, while other people just get by?⠀⠀Sometimes, even when we’re caring for our energy, it still seems to run out too quickly.

Is true freedom found in structure?We humans crave freedom. We push against boundaries. We challenge authority. We break the rules.But why is it that often, the more freedom we have, the more imprisoned we feel?

OR ask yourself WHY a life choice that isn't your own affects you so much. :-)Today we will

You can tell just by noticing how many people are staring at their phones all day long.But what if tech isn’t the real problem… or at least not the root of the problem?Think back to before smart phones. Without the endless apps and gadgets we have now, were you accomplishing absolutely all of your tasks, errands and big dreams?I was still procrastinating everything to the last minute.

Not only does fear feel totally sucky, fear robs us of our potential. Everyone has fear… and the way we experience it determines if we go for our dreams and lead a life we love, or we stay stuck and unfulfilled, and feel like we don’t have a purpose.Fear is an emotional response to a perceived threat. So it can totally be a byproduct of our self-worth issues, but it goes even further, because it can attach itself to anything.One of the things we are most afraid of is the unknown… which means it can be difficult to take action on anything that is uncertain… which applies to everything we haven’t started yet.Our guest today is Monica Berg, author of Fear is Not an Option. She’s had an incredible life story. 17 years ago she gave birth to a boy with special needs and in that moment, was forced to face what is a lot of parents biggest fears… and in doing so it turned into her greatest teacher.Today we will learn: Why the unknown is often scarier than the worst case scenario  How fear physically manifests and what

Or you worked hard for weeks trying to lose that 5 pounds and decided the best way to reward yourself would be with an entire tub of ice cream. Or maybe you were in a relationship that was going great, but you just kept picking fights?These are the ways we self-sabotage.
