Calm, Confident & Deliriously Happy

Do you know anyone in your life who's just completely unhappy because they're totally ungrateful? I don't! What I do see is that the biggest problems we face, such as guilt, shame, grief, and fear (anywhere from anxiety to panic) are often called mindset issues when a new mindset may help but not heal. That's why I say that we have a romance with mindset work and it's keeping us sick. Approaching terrain where we have no experience, to address something hard that's in a blind spot - that can be scary. It takes courage. “Where do I begin?” That question truly takes courage to ask. And this episode provides some insight to that question and more. For everyone out there struggling with why "changing your mindset" hasn't helped, and suffering in the process, this episode may help!

"There aren't necessarily any shortcuts, but you can go faster." Agree or disagree? In today's short show, I offer that there is a shortcut, and it's this: Go deeper. And also, how deep you go determines the outcome you create. There's only one reason why inner problems (blocks, anxiety, disconnection, doubt, confusion, fear) linger: You didn't go deep enough. If the issue originates within, the resolution lies within as well. The right strategy will help you release it for good as long as you go all the way down... What do you think? Is there a place in your life you know you hold back even though in others you leave it all on the field?

Today we have something really special. I create in 9's, so every 9th show closes a cycle, completes a minor journey in our great journey together. This is a universal truth: completion allows new beginnings. Death is a vital part of life, not something to fear. Some of us had someone to read us stories when we were little. Some of us didn't. What I'd like to do is give 9th shows over to the telling of classic children's stories. All you have to do is show up, sit back, and prepare to enjoy. I hope by reading you a story today you can receive something beloved but forgotten; maybe you can recover something that was once thought to be lost forever. For everyone who's paid the fee that comfort exacts, today's story is about cherishing our liberty, being proactive with gratitude, and the wisdom it takes to appreciate peace.

The conversation with today's guest Christine is such a treat to share with you. Christine is a mindset coach who is also an Energy Healer and Medium, dedicated to supporting others to be the best version of themselves. She has a very cheerful demeanor which really stands out to me in a world full of people taking themselves very seriously... The highlights of this conversation to me are really about connecting on the best response to heavy issues, and how to unburden ourselves. She also shares a lot of wisdom about the meaning and significance she derives from her connection to higher power. This episode could also be very helpful for anyone raising children into young adults today, and especially for the women in my community! Christine was such a joy to communicate with and I'm so very happy to share her with you on this Monday. I hope you'll join us.

November is men's health awareness month. This topic is IMPORTANT to me. In today's episode we dive into why men in our lives, our workplaces, our communities are more susceptible to suicide, and what each of us should do about it. What we don't speak about, doesn't change. What we don't prioritize, doesn't change. But when most "solutions" amount to coping and managing with anxiety and deeply seated unhappiness, would you be inspired to take action? I'm here to beat this drum again: It's POSSIBLE to heal these mental health challenges completely. Anyone saying otherwise just hasn't helped someone to do it. When people ask me why I specialize in working with men, among other things, this is the reason. Men are underserved in mental health. I specialize to hold open a door that most people don't see is there. I specialize because the world is better when our men are present, emotionally powerful and adept, and free from the burdens that aren't necessary to bear and actually aren't helping anyone.

There's a dynamic that's been going on for some time now in the world of self help. A dynamic instructing that giving is wrong when it happens at personal expense. This dynamic causes lions to de-claw themselves. Today's episode is about RE-EMPOWERING POWERFUL GIVERS. Because there's a way of giving, even to the point of self sacrifice –such that it isn't a problem to solve, but a standard to aspire to. This is real power. You're not alone. Email me for support clearing the pain part of adhering to your values. Pain is a tool & a language I help people translate.

In this episode I share one of my favorite memories of being a student at the US Air Force Academy - how I "broke" an academic simulation meant to demonstrate human nature through collaboration. Competition can make us rabid if we don't stop to consider that maybe the stakes are not all they're being broadcast to be. But Trust is the antidote. All it takes is one person to lead like that to let all the air out of the balloon. 18 years after the fact, I realize that this memory doubles as my vision of the future. It's also a picture of the way the relationships in my life are structured. What about yours? Do you want that ease, that trust, that cooperation for yourself? How do you bring it about? It isn't achieved through force – it isn't achieved through convincing. It's achieved one of us at a time - pulling the curtains back and turning the lights up on the fact that power isn't something in short supply, but each of ours inherently. I'd love to know how this influences your thinking today, or how it helps you. Show notes: https://www.palladiummind.com/calm-confident-happy-podcast/strategic-happiness

Most approaches to issues of Confidence fail for 1 of 2 reasons. Gaining awareness about when and how these variables are at play will allow you to make progress to every goal more quickly and easily. In today's episode we uncover what those are and how to remedy them. This is where gaining control over your own consciousness allows you to create change directly at the source, where it's needed: in the unconscious. Perhaps the biggest reason you haven't resolved the issue yet is simply for not using the right tool. Even the ability to consider this is an important step forward.

Today I was getting dressed. I pulled on some athletic clothes, they didn't fit the way they did a couple weeks ago. I thought about how much focus the idea of appearance can consume - without us even noticing it. This is a perfect example of the matrix effect. Attention following attention, instead of attention directing attention – like a big cat chasing its tail. This is what I mean when I talk about helping people get inner control. Liberation is about freedom from the spin cycle. Helping the king of the jungle orient beyond his own tail. So he can get on with his real purpose. Truth is, life doesn't even really begin until we step out of this spin cycle. And the possibilities for creating outcomes really just BEGIN there. That's where the fun truly begins too.

There's a reason that Clarity is one of the pillars of my framework, and discernment is a part of the process, a necessary skill to develop along the way... Discernment means you don't end up second guessing later, or realizing that you made a mistake months or years later. A classic example could be with forming new partnerships (personal or professional). Tune in to this episode for specifics about how to achieve self trust through the combination of bulletproof discernment and crystal clarity.

I couldn't be more excited to share our show with you today; my guest is Barry Brownstein. Barry is a PhD Economist and a Professor Emeritus of Economics & Leadership. He self-describes as working at the intersection of spirituality and the physical (economics), and as usual, the intersections are where the interest are. This is the first conversation that he and I ever had on a live call. Not minutes after jumping onto the video call, I realized there would be zero beats missed, and the content of our conversation was such that - if for no one other than my future self - I wanted to capture it and savor it later on. There was a lot of belly laughing, at one point early on I was incredibly moved even to tears when he shared a piece of his lens, his why. As the conversation progressed, it honestly just got better and better. It wasn't until the very end of our call that I actually invited Barry to be my guest on this show - "in the future". He was so generous and humble to offer that if I could find anything of value in the conversation we had just had, I was welcome to use it as well as to schedule with him again. We did in fact meet again and record again, but this one feels complete in its own right!

As much as it's true that personal power is something that each of us already have – like a locked box all our own and a matching key in our pocket – A lot of people today don't see the box, they don't feel the key, and they can't remember what's inside of it. More than that though, they've been taught to be afraid of what's in the box. As long as people are in fear states, they're divorced from their own power. Today's episode is about the way I discovered what my own mission is, and a vision of what's possible in the world I'm imagining. This is what I'm working toward – a world where that fear is cleared out so everyone can fully access what's in that box. I hope you enjoy this one.

From my experience working with hundreds of clients to support their personal pursuit of clarity, most of us think of clarity as something to attain. But seeing it that way can be a little bit like trying to eat an elephant in one bite. What comes BEFORE clarity? Today's episode is a short journey - you could say a jaunt: a businessman's trip... About how often we look outside for answers when the answers are within, about how the gaps within ourselves are the reasons for that, and how the solution lies in subtraction, not addition.

Today's episode is about being pulled in a direction that “appears” to be imprudent, despite well meaning advice to ignore our inner voice. What do we make of this fork in the road? I believe that putting our faith in "contingency" is the same as trusting in lack. Limitation often masquerades as prudence. For me, aside from feeling a deep longing to create Calm, Confident & Deliriously Happy, there was an equally deep knowing that the opportunity was to BREAK myself of contingencies. I didn't know if it was possible to break myself of such attachment (and ultimately fear) at the time, but I recognized the calling to try all the same... thanks for joining me on Oahu's eastern shore for this episode.

Joe Sanok is a Podcaster, a Consultant and Founder at Practice of the Practice, and Author of the book Thursday is the New Friday: How to work fewer hours, make more money, and spend time doing what you want. In this momentous book, Joe equips and empowers us with a practical, evidence-based methodology to create our own work schedule and dedicate more of our precious personal time to pursuing interests that inspire and uplift us, and spending more time with family and friends. As you'll experience first hand during our conversation, Joe doesn't just write about a 4 day work week, he lives it. Time is his most precious asset, and I'm thinking it is probably yours too! It's so easy to get caught up in thinking that cash is king. And it's certainly important. But the person who rules their own schedule is envied by those with even the greatest of fortunes but no time freedom. Joe believes working for yourself in your own business (or at someone else's company for that matter) shouldn't have to FEEL like a job. And working smarter and limiting the time you spend on things that don't matter can help.

“If I had an hour to solve a problem and my life depended on the solution, I would spend 55 minutes to determine the proper question.” — attributed to Albert Einstein Most of us can effectively handle problems we can clearly identify. When the issue is known, we can work to resolve it. But when the block is intangible, unknown, or an issue of our perception more than one of reality, it's another story. One of the most glaring reasons that people tell me they don't resolve blocks - is because they don't even know what the block is or where it came from. These are problems we can't even name. How do we bring consciousness to what is unconscious? That is exactly the right question to be asking... and that's what this episode is about.

The way I see the world is in systems. Natural systems in this universe are not about high or low, right or wrong, but about equilibrium. Equilibrium rules. This is the most basic explanation for why everything we experience dualistically is in tension, and the truth behind everything experienced - the essence of it - is always going to be non-dual. Another way of describing an interaction with this reality, or a relationship with what truly IS, is Sacred Neutrality. Everything we do is co-created. When attachment to the story falls away, we can experience actual freedom of choice, and operate from a place of real desire. When you can see that, you're in the seat of empowerment because you can actually do something about what's going on.

Each of us have exclusive and sole responsibility for our emotional reactions. An common question I see lion-hearted people grapple with is, How long do I stay silent waiting for others to process angry emotions, or even to recognize their ownership over them? This is a really important question to be asking. Is there a better use of your life force than holding space for another person's blame, shame, or judgment? Is there a more powerful expression of your own values? What do you do instead? This is the subject of today's episode. I also share my vision for the future and what that future will require us to let go of. I am excited to see how it supports you.

How often do you make allowances for the little nicks and pains that only you know about? That only you know you struggle with? Do you think this is the type of self-sacrifice that helps others out or does more harm than good?

How bounded is your possibilities space? What do you believe is possible? Are you the person placing limitations, or is it those around you? My point in bringing it up now is that what we believe is possible literally bounds the possibilities space that we will experience. Attachment to what we've personally experienced prevents the imagination from accessing another possibilities or timelines. That's why I always question when people say what's not possible. I hope this episode inspires you to do the same! Show notes: https://www.palladiummind.com/calm-confident-happy-podcast/everything-you-want

In the last few episodes we've focused on subtle differences in service structures, marketing approaches, and sales strategies. This subject is close to me because of the ways in the past that I've unconsciously benefitted from methods that were not in the highest good.  While I realize I was doing the best that I could at the time, given the information that I had, and the beliefs I had at the time, I also recognize today that I'm in a position of authority around these meta-topics of healing, and so I'm the perfect person to reveal in plain language some of the subtle ways we can give our power away!  Ironically, this can even happen in the process of trying to claim freedom for our selves, and elevate ourselves out of difficult circumstances by accepting the help of others.  The type of help we accept, and the way it's offered and received, has everything to do with how quickly the life we desire comes into view.   Today's episode is a vignette about reducing harm by not plucking at others' pain to achieve any goal or outcome - no matter how good the intention behind your greater vision may be.

Today's episode is among other things, another soap box for how free you really should be feeling when it comes to making decisions about how to resolve lifelong emotional issues permanently.  Mandy also shares what Harm Reduction looks like in action when it comes to considering creating new constructs (for instance, frameworks), and how to stay in your power when interacting with anyone's modalities, tools, or methods - proprietary or otherwise.   Mandy also shares the high points (the components of and pillars of) her own proprietary framework, lovingly called Power Play.

Today's episode is a short journey - you could say a jaunt: a businessman's trip... Let's look at "people pleasing" for what it really is or can be, which is empowerment when we recognize the potential to do it with consciousness. Labels like "people pleaser" are pejorative and dismissive of the values that are always REALLY driving a choice to please others at personal expense: values that matter, like being loved, or wishing for others to be happy. Today's short show provides a lens by which you can immediately bring greater relief into your own or another's struggle with people pleasing, and the way we judge ourselves because of it. A lens beyond the strife of dualism, that I call Real Power.

My guest today is an ex-pat Iranian artist, film director, writer, and composer named Farbod Ardebilli. He's one of my favorite humans for a lot of reasons. Farbod was born and raised in Tehran, where he "illegally" started an Underground Metal Band and released the first Persian language Metal album on the worldwide platforms, and then shot his first film ELLIPSIS which won acclaim as an official selection for the Montreal Festival du Nouveau Cinema, among others. Farbod lives life in a very different way than I do, on the surface creating metal music, and rebelling against the system in very literal and substantial ways.

If there's no exit in a maze, it's really just a cage. There is always this false fear when you're in a maze, that you could actually be trapped in there forever. that's what comes to mind when we talk about looking at problems - things we don't want to stay stuck in forever: when we believe there's no exit, or fear there's no exit, it's ceases to be fun. Is an exit strategy part of the discussions that you're having with support around you when it comes to critical path issues of grave importance? I argue that it should be.

Healing happens best, quickest, and easiest when we enter into an arrangement with a provider, a supporter, a coach, a co-creator with the higher perspective and the truth that in cases of emotional issues being automated by your subconscious, the problem always includes our perception of a problem, and that can be cleared.

What do I mean by inner identity? Outwardly there are a lot of ways we can understand ourselves, and those identities help others to know us, and us to know ourselves. But the inner ways we identify are also very important. Knowing these unique personal signatures allow us to express ourselves clearly, to make decisions easily, and to simplify complex situations. When we understand who we are, it helps us to connect with community cross-sectionally, not just vertically. In this episode, I share a bit about my own identity values, how I live those out, and explicitly break down how this relates to cultivating self trust. By the end of the show the listener also walks away with a 3-step process for increasing self trust and coming into greater alignment with their own values.

Coincident to the start of Black History Month, today I want to focus on the need to be specific about our identity premise, how it relates to happiness, and how accessing our personal power and remaining in integrity actually require that we do.

When I think about Dorian's defining qualities, four leapt to mind: the power of consistency, self belief, building bridges, and bravery. When you hear his background, you'll probably understand the bravery piece right away. When you see him as the motor of his brand in action, you'll understand the consistency piece. We touch on self belief in this episode, but it's the building bridges piece that's my favorite and actually least explored during our conversation. I see Dorian as a way-shower of sorts: someone who broke out of his own conditions / conditioning and stands before us as an example of integrity, healing, and generosity. The subtle differences are often the most important, and Dorian maintains his hope in others, and belief in others, just as much as he hoped and believed in himself through his own growth process. I hope you enjoy our conversation as much as I did.

New direction with the show today, I woke up and wanted to speak, not script. This conversation is an uncommon kind of vulnerability - less related to the content of my past, present or future than it is to the literal process of self awareness / raising consciousness: demonstrated in part today by figuring out the purpose of my musings as I go instead of mapping it ahead of time. Among other things, this show provides an example of the personal accountability inside my head that doubles as a vacuum for joy from even the smallest of gifts: rented ski poles.

Today we have something really special. I create in 9's, so every 9th show closes a cycle, completes a minor journey in our great journey together.  This is a universal truth: completion allows new beginnings. Death is a vital part of life, not something to fear. Some of us had someone to read us stories when we were little. Some of us didn't. What I'd like to do is give 9th shows over to the telling of classic children's stories. All you have to do is show up, sit back, and prepare to enjoy. I hope by reading you a story today you can receive something beloved but forgotten; maybe you can recover something that was once thought to be lost forever. In line with the theme of rebirth, and new beginnings, our first story will be about a plush little toy who wanted so much to belong, to be loved, and to be real. Welcome to 2021 everyone. I present to you: The Velveteen Rabbit. Show notes:  https://www.palladiummind.com/calm-confident-happy-podcast/ego-death-by-story-new-year

This last episode of 2020, I wanted to share a reflection I made about the unlikely similarities between my father's work in disaster restoration, and my own with healing and transformation. My gift is in seeing a book for more than its cover, and I hope it inspires you to do the same as we collectively "catch the lights" on 2020.

This episode is about gratitude, appreciation, causality, and choosing our success instead of seeking it.
