Navigating Uncomfortable Emotions During COVID-19 Apr 02, 2020

Show notes

The past few weeks have brought on a lot of stress for many Americans. And with many cities throughout the country ordered to stay at home as much as possible, many have had to personally deal with the emotions surrounding the uncertainty of their futures. Living in a social vacuum can have a significant influence on how you decided to cope with negative emotions like fear. For that reason, it’s important to recognize when and how you might be strategically avoiding the emotions that you’re experiencing.

On this episode, I talk candidly about the 6 ways we might be suppressing our emotions, and possibly without even knowing it.

Show notes

Modern-day life never stops. It's go, go, go; it's busy; it's hectic; and it's so easy to lose sight of who you are when you're in the race. But it's worth slowing down and taking stock of your mental and spiritual states. It's worth taking the time to uncover parts of yourself you didn't realize were left behind by your frantic mind. But learning about and loving yourself isn't easy, and it might require the help of a weekend-long spiritual retreat in Malibu, California.
On today's episode, I talk to Jesse Todisco, the host of The Jesse Tee Show and the founder of 46 & 2 Wealth Partners, LLC, about his incredible trip to Malibu for a life-changing spiritual retreat.

15:28 - Centering yourself and learning breathing techniques with Tai Chi
25:28 - Unraveling repressed creativity
31:10 - Processing all the experiences and emotion on the last night of the retreat
Quotes:
"It's all about being a better person... It may not be what everyone believes, and that's fine because I'm still working on what I believe in, but if it makes you a better person, I'm all for it."
"It burdens me now for other people who have never experienced that freedom of being fully expressed in who they are and loving that person."

Show notes

The road to successful entrepreneurship can be tough. Some people wade through years of rejection and tight financial situations before getting even just a decent break. Others decide to go all in and take massive risks, investing all their time and money into their ventures. But what if you felt trapped in a toxic life that wasn't letting you work toward your dream? And what would you do if, when everything seemed to be working out, you were thrown a curve ball that would derail all your plans?

Thought Spirals, Perfectionism and Getting Out of Your Own Way in 2020 with Topsie VandenBosch Dec 17, 2019

Show notes

Do you ever wonder how one moment you can be driving down the road when someone cuts you off in traffic and you have a negative thought that leads to a breakdown? That one negative thought leads to another negative thought, and then another, and another until you're breaking out in a cold sweat and beating your fist against the steering wheel. How were you able to go from "can you believe that guy just cut me off?" to "I feel like no one understands me and I'm going to end up alone for the rest of my life"? This my friends, is called a thought spiral.
On today's episode I discuss Topsie VandenBosch's work as a mental health therapist and mindset coach, why so many of us struggle with negative thoughts and how we can avoid the black hole of the thought spiral.
We also discuss the coaching industry, how our feelings can be misleading us further from the truth, and why the toxic paradigm of perfectionism is a "crock of shit."
Moments:
9:45 - The difference in therapy and coaching
15:45 - Thought spirals and how to avoid them
28:38 - You feelings are NOT the facts
35:53 - Why perfectionism is just an excuse
42:11 - How to get out of your own way in 2020
Quotes:
"I think that perfectionism also can end up being like an excuse for not actually messing up getting messy and just doing the work. I almost feel like it ends up being this safety net. Yeah, you can fall back on "well, it's not good enough to put out into the world so why do it at all?'"
"When the student is ready, the teacher will appear."
"A lot of us are on autopilot on a day to day basis, and we think things and then we feel things and then we do things, but we're not robots and we weren't created to be robots."

Master Your Money Mindset - With Alyssa Hammond Dec 04, 2019

Show notes

In his landmark book Think and Grow Rich Napoleon Hill said “There are no limitations to the mind except for those that we acknowledge. Both poverty and riches are the offspring of thought.”

I that’s a hard thing to accept if you’re a person who has been in blame around our finances for many years.

It’s easy to blame our finances on our employer, the government, our parents, a broken economy but yet is the case with any major life transformation - it happens from the inside out!

I really want to help you master your inner game so that you can create and empowered relationship with money and attract more of it.

So I gave my friend Alyssa Hammond to dive into this topic with me. Alyssa is a money coach helping women entrepreneurs tackle their finance struggles and reframe their limiting beliefs so that they can scale to 7 figure businesses.

This week we will discuss why struggle is not required when it comes to building a healthy relationship and a wealthy bank account. How you can identify the limiting beliefs that are holding you back and what to do about it. How your parents relationship with money could be haunting you, plus why following your zone of genius bring you true wealth and prosperity in all aspects of your life.

This is going to be such an amazing conversation that if you come with an open mind and open heart this week this conversation could change your life.

Why "The Hustle" Isn't All It's Cracked Up To Be & How To Operate In Flow with Charlene Izere Nov 18, 2019

Show notes

Self care is more than just bubble baths and face masks. It’s about diving deep and getting to the root of your trauma, triggers and boundaries. It can be as simple as asking ourselves often “What am I actually feeling?” and being honest with ourselves about the answer.

The truth is: being selfish is okay. You have to take care of yourself before you can take care of others.

Burnout will impact your ability to show up if you aren’t acknowledging it and practicing self care.

Self care is for men, too! It’s important for all of us to feel okay. It all starts with us having these conversations with one another.

In today’s episode, we hear from Charlene Izere. She is the founder of both Wellness Delivered and Melanin and Money; events that focus on how self care meets community care as well as networking for women of color and their allies.

Join us as we talk about why self care is about thriving instead of surviving and ways to get started in self care and community care today.

Wellness Delivered and Melanin and Money will be taking place in the Knoxville, TN and Atlanta, GA areas. Follow @charleneizere on Instagram for more information!

Discovering Your Life's Direction & Purpose Oct 25, 2019

Show notes

There is no greater gift that you can give or receive than to honor your calling. It’s why you were born and how you become most truly alive.

Asking the question “what is my purpose” is an intimate prayer rising from the deepest part of the heart. Initiating that search is a sign that the journey toward an elevated life full of meaning and fulfillment is ready to begin.

There is only one person that holds the keys to unlock the answers to all that you’re meant to become; That person is you.

Every one of us is born with a purpose. No matter who you are, what you do or how far you think you have to go you have been tapped by a force greater than yourself to step into your what I call your God given calling.

This goes far beyond what you do to earn a living

I’m talking about a supreme moment of destiny.

The reason you’re here on earth.
Join me as we go deep together!

Quitting Corporate Oct 08, 2019

Show notes

What if I told you that your success will be measure by how stupid you're willing to look?
Fo real.
Thnk of the most successful person you know. They had audacious dreams and one day they decided to chase them.
When the Wright brothers decided they wanted to fly and built the first airplane do you know how stupid they looked to everyone that said it couldn't be done?
They looked stupid...and then they soared. Literally.
In this episode I discuss why it's so important to take big risks, why millennials get such a bad rep and the miracle that happened when I said "Yes" to following my dream.
