Secrets for an Awesome Life

Have you ever seen someone completely enjoying life? Living to their fullest, not brought down by anyone or anything, totally having their stuff together? It’s almost like they know secrets you don’t.

This show is about those secrets.

Don’t worry. Not very many people know these secrets. Or if they do, they don’t apply them. These secrets are skills and mindsets not taught in any college or high school course. We may have heard of them, but no one taught us how to actually apply them to our lives. Which is a shame, because when you apply them, your life becomes more awesome.

That’s why I created this podcast, for teens who are looking to up the awesome level in their lives.

I am Joey Mascio and I’m a Teen & Young Adult Life Coach. I was certified at the Life Coach School where I was trained by Master Life Coach Brooke Castillo. I’ve also gone through Jody Moore’s Advanced Certification. I take the strategies and tools I’ve learned from these two powerful women, and lots of my own, and adapt them for teenagers and young adults. I am also a middle school teacher and counselor, a proud father of three, and a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

Improv Tips to Improve Any Social Situation Apr 30, 2020

Show notes

Having been trained in improv comedy, I realized that many of the rules of the art of making up stuff on the spot can be used in everyday conversations.

The 6 Improv rules I talk about in this episode are:

Yes, And
Choose to Know
Someone’s gotta lose
Make the other person look good
First, second, and third on
End with a Button

I explain how teens can apply these tips in social settings to make talking with other people go a whole lot smoother.

Waiting Sucks Apr 24, 2020

Show notes

Many teens are feeling trapped inside their house right now. Like a prisoner of war. So, I thought I'd tell the story of an actual POW and see what we can learn from how he dealt with a really bad situation while being held as a prisoner if Vietnam.

Dreams Come True (and Nightmares, Too) Apr 16, 2020

Show notes

What we think about becomes reality. Every time.

So, if you are thinking about your dreams often they are more likely to come true. But, if you are thinking about your nightmares often, those will become reality. Which will be horrible if your worst nightmare is being chased by a giant spider!

But, for realsies, your thoughts show up in your results. If you are constantly thinking you can't do something then you won't. If you are thinking you'll fail at something then you will.

In this episode, I tell a story from my high school experience that changed my life forever.

How to Make Enemies Apr 08, 2020

Show notes

Forget about making friends, I want to teach you how to make enemies. Because once you learn how to do that, you can stop. If you want.

This episode covers how teens can dissolve the enemies in their lives and feel happier and safer in social settings.

The Cure for Insecurity Mar 31, 2020

Show notes

Got a case of insecurity? There's a cure for that. And it's not what you think.

Many people think if you want to be more secure you have to be more successful. Wrong-o!

That's like treating a broken leg by giving the person a pair of crutches. That might help them get around, but unless you treat that broken leg they are going to need those crutches for a looong time.

They're Called Feelings, Brah Mar 30, 2020

Show notes

In times of stress, anger, sadness or depression, many teens have asked, "What's wrong with me?"

Nothing is wrong with you. You just have feelings. And if you don't know what feelings are, where they come from, or what to do with them, then it can seem like something has gone horribly wrong when you feel them.

But it hasn't.

In this episode I explore the mystery that are emotions and how all of them, even the bad ones, are a normal part of life.

The Source of Ultimate Power!! Mar 25, 2020

Show notes

Your power in life–your ability to show up as the person you want to be at all times–is directly connected to your self-worth. If you think you have lots of worth, then your power goes up. If you think you ain't worth two nickels in a pile of dirt, then your power flutters away.

What if you could find the source of absolute worth? Then you find the source of absolute power. And you'd pretty much be an unstoppable force. I clue you in to the source of unlimited power in this episode.

How Not To Go Cray Cray During this Shutdown Mar 25, 2020

Show notes

Pretty much all teens everywhere have been grounded for a month or two due to the COVID-19 pandemic. This much time at home alone without the ability to socialize can get boring and depressing.

In this episode I give some tips on controlling your thoughts and creating some structure to your days so that you won't go stark, raving mad.

Are You The Hero or the Sidekick in Your Own Story? Mar 25, 2020

Show notes

Do you view yourself as the hero or the sidekick in your life? If you're not sure, consider the following:

Heroes have the power to change their fate. Sidekicks do not.

A hero knowns that every failure or setback will eventually lead to their victory. Sidekicks do not.

Heroes save themselves. Sidekicks need to be saved by someone else.

Heroes put themselves front and center in their lives. Sidekicks take the back seat to others.

How do you view yourself?

If you don't currently view yourself as the hero of your own story, that's okay. The good news is you can become your own hero whenever you're ready.
