Complexity usually comes with the expensive price tag of worry and anxiety. What would happen if you simplified your life? Would you feel more peace, joy, and happiness?

Most people want a complex checklist of things to do, when often it is the simple that is most powerful.

Can you accept what is, and be present in the moment? Are you judging and calling things good or bad, instead of saying "we'll see?" "When people see things as beautiful, other things become ugly. When people see some things as good, other things become bad." Lao Tzu. Can you withhold judgement and be grateful for the unanswered prayers and choices you've made that have gotten you to where you are today. Maybe that broken leg, bad relationship, person you never got to date, etc... was a necessary part of you becoming who you are today.

How often to do you stop to enjoy the little things in life? Watching the squirrels and gnats. Appreciating the small wins and simple things you can be grateful for.

In this episode we share some simple things we've found joy in and how you can enjoy, feel gratitude and joy in the little things in life.

In this episode we discuss how putting yourself in a box, identifying with labels, labeling and judging other people, and you are not just one thing, are so critical to making sure you don't have an identity crisis, limit yourself and your potential, and how you can use better words that resonate more with who you really are authentically.

Have you ever felt like the universe has given you a sign? Conversely, have you ever felt like the outcome of an event was going to go badly, and then it did?  Often times we may just be programming our brain to believe something due to our own confirmation biases. By believing something was going to go poorly, that made it so.  So how can you tell the difference when you are receiving a real sign vs. your own confirmation?  Well in today's episode we discuss exactly that! 

A common saying is "every cloud has a silver lining", and the point of this saying is essentially to try to find the good that comes with the bad.  In today's episode we discuss the cyclical nature of life, the world around us and how we can all find the good in hard times.

When asked "What is best in life?" Arnold Schwarzenegger once said, in the film "Conan the Barbarian", "To crush your enemies, see them driven before you, and to hear the lamentation of their women!" How much of a great movie quote that is, sometimes that isn't the best way to handle our "enemies" in life.  Often times it isn't great for our own mental health and wellbeing to hold onto grudges, and in today's episode we are going to discuss examples of how to best handle our life's nemeses.

In today's episode we discuss the importance of self care.  It's very easy for a lot of us to be living our lives for other people. A common example would be a mother who is constantly doing things to take care of their kids, or the work-a-holic that is constantly working to appease their boss.  It's not a bad thing to be doing things for others, however, there is a certain point where we need to take a step back and just spend some time dedicated to ourselves for the sake of our own happiness and mental health. 

On average we have 60,000 thoughts per day. Of those 60,000, 50,000 of them are NEGATIVE! It's a surprising metric to hear, I know! But in today's episode we're going to try and help people turn this around and start thinking more positively.

hether we're brothers, mothers, nephews, cousins, boyfriends, wives, employees, roommates, or neighbors, we all have one thing in common. This commonality is the fact that we all go through various forms of relationships in our lives. A lot of our relationships can end and it's quite common for people to blame themselves for the various shortcomings and pitfalls that may have led to that end.  "Why did I stay with him for so long", "Why couldn't I have worked harder" or any kind of "shoulda woulda coulda" are certain things that maybe you have thought to yourself regarding an instance or two in your life. So in today's episode we're going to discuss how relationships can fall apart and how we can learn to grow from these instances.
