How To TRULY Accept & Love Your Partner with Dr. Kelly Flanagan Apr 16, 2024

Show notes

Today, I'm joined by best-selling author and psychologist Dr. Kelly Flanagan. Dr. Kelly has personally transformed my life and I had to have him on the show to show you how transformative his work is.

We talk about the intricate dance between boundaries, resentment, and acceptance, as well as the keys to fostering healthy relationships and embracing our true selves.

In this incredible conversation, we'll explore:

- The revelation that resentment often arises from unspoken boundaries.

- Embracing acceptance as a catalyst for self-love and personal growth.

- Kelly's own journey of confronting inner voices of shame and finding authenticity.

- The parallels between setting boundaries in relationships and navigating the entrepreneurial world.

- Practical strategies for balancing personal boundaries with external expectations.

This conversation will challenge your perspectives and equip you with actionable insights to get out of your own way and live a more fulfilling life.

I highly recommend Dr. Kelly's book "Loveable". It changed my life...

Tools to Say No: Start Putting Yourself First: | Matt King Apr 02, 2024

Show notes

Welcome to a powerhouse episode of Get Out of Your Own Way, I'm Aaron Velky!

In this episode, we're diving into the mind and journey of Gobundance CEO Matt King, a visionary who's carved out a path of intentional living and goal-setting that's anything but ordinary. Matt, often seen as an underdog, shares his insights on intuition, the strategic power of "no," and the relentless pursuit of excellence that has defined his rise to success.

Matt pulls back the curtain on the practices and mindsets that have propelled him from a place of self-doubt to a position of influence and accomplishment. He challenges the conventional, pushing us to reconsider the narratives we've been sold about success and personal growth.

Prepare to level up yourself, as we explore themes like:

- Intuition as an unlearned language we all possess

- The liberating power of saying "NO"

- The Art of Continuous Addition and why "adding on" and never settling are keys to lifelong achievement.

Today's episode is for anyone looking to redefine their approach to life and leadership. Matt's story is a testament to the power of belief, resilience, and strategic action in the face of adversity. Another fun fact is, as you might have heard in the episode, Matt was kind enough to give us his time on his birthday, so thank you, Matt!
