I've often heard people say, “I don't have regrets.” I'm pretty certain I've said that myself many times. It's almost like there is an undercurrent in our current culture that says regret is bad and shameful. But what if regret is helpful. What if having regrets is actually the most healthy thing we could do. But tell me, why is it that when we're looking back and observing our life, we say we don't have regrets? Why has having regrets become shameful, instead of normal? And can we say with 100% honesty that there isn't a single thing we look back at and wish we acted differently or behaved differently, or feel sad about, or disappointed by? Let's talk about that.

What if there was a way to get everything you wanted? Better yet, what if you could get it with minimal effort and ease? Enter manifestation. It's become a hot topic in the personal development world. As people become more open to the woo (the more mysterious parts of life), manifestation has become a technique in and of itself. In some situations, it's replaced the effort needed to reach the success you desire. I tried it for myself, and I'm here to share all the lessons I learned. Bottom line, it didn't work, but it's not all bad. I did pick up some strategies that I love, but manifestation is flawed in its current cultural understanding. So let's talk about that.Read the show notes: https://gentrylusby.com/manifestationREADY TO START A PODCAST? (SAY YES!)

My wife and I often didn't have the words we needed during our darkest season of infertility. In the midst of disappointment after disappointment, a cycle of manufactured hope turning into lost hope, grief, and anger, our life together felt like a constant dark night of the soul. Well-meaning people would often attempt encouragement by saying something hopeful or optimistic. In other words, they were trying to find our silver lining. But what that experience taught me is finding someone else's silver lining isn't helpful, and there is something better you can do. Let's talk about that.Read the show notes: https://gentrylusby.com/silver-liningREADY TO START A PODCAST? (SAY YES!)

Have you ever been asked, whether directly or indirectly, to become less than who you are or to minimize parts of your personality, your power, your influence, or your skills? In other words, has anyone ever asked you to stop shining so brightly? We live in a world where it's become far too common for people living in the shadows to sabotage those shining bright. It's time to recognize the shadow dwellers for who they are and remember that the shadows are not your home. Read the show notes: https://gentrylusby.com/shineREADY TO START A PODCAST? (SAY YES!)

Have you ever been at the receiving end of someone just "speaking their truth?" They might have also said something like, "I just have to own my truth." It's relatively common language now, and while I believe the original intent behind "speaking our truth" is outstanding and pure, unfortunately, I think it's just become an excuse to avoid responsibility for our actions. So, speaking our truth -  is it helpful, hurtful, or healing? Let's talk about that. Read the show notes: https://gentrylusby.com/35READY TO START A PODCAST? (SAY YES!)

I often want to bypass the hard emotions in favor of the good ones like peace, joy, contentment. While there are fast hacks to get me from a place of disappointment to elation, those hacks don't create lasting self-evolution or teach me how to process emotion in helpful ways. If you want to feel different emotions, you have to start by acknowledging where you are emotionally and move forward from there.

I'm processing, in real-time with you, what I've been experiencing lately.  My depression has flared up again in a big way but while it's here and happening, I'm also still participating in life in ways that matter. I've become split down the middle with 50% of me falling apart and 50% of me succeeding. It's new and different, and excruciating.  So, let's talk about being split down the middle. It was at the very last minute of this processing rant that I found the answer I needed. Listen to hear what it is.

When did we become obsessed with happiness? (Or, in my case, peace?) This question kept popping up in my head as I was working through the idea of resilience for this episode, so I paid attention and pulled it apart to see what this question was trying to communicate.It turns out that happiness (or peace) comes when we stop obsessing over them and start obsessing over our resilience to overcome obstacles.

I don't think trying is a real thing. Hear me out. You either do what you want to do or be the thing you want to be, or you don't. Trying has become this non-existent middle ground where we give ourselves an out if things don't go the way we want. Really, it's all tied to our worth and value. So let's talk about this.

Have you ever the phrase, "Fake it til you make it!" It seems like such an innocent little idea until you unpack it and see how unhelpful it really is.Everything fake is rooted in deceit and as humans that want to show up fully, authentically, and vulnerably, faking it will never accomplish that. Let's explore this idea together and what to do instead of "faking it til we make it."

Can I be honest with you? I'm over personal development.In this episode, I'm doing an experiment, in favor of vulnerability, and sharing something I wouldn't normally share, which is, I'm so done with the personal development industry.I'm tired of gurus preaching toxic positivity, and 5AM morning routines, and hustle mentality. Personal development has become really impersonal and doesn't match up with human evolution. Tune in to hear my full explanation and let me know if you've ever felt the same way! Let's Connect on a deeper level:WEB/ www.gentrylusby.comINSTAGRAM/ @gentrylusbyFACEBOOK/ facebook.com/gentrylusby

We all do it, whether we want to admit it or not. When situations don't go the way we want, hope, or plan, we often form narratives that help us feel okay about what happened.And the truth is, most times they're complete BS.Our BS narratives seem to serve us by keeping us safe and happy, but actually, they keep us from dealing with issues in real time and evolving in authentic ways.In this episode, we explore what BS narratives are, why we create them, how they are hurting us, and what to do instead.Let's Connect on a deeper level:WEB/ www.gentrylusby.comINSTAGRAM/ @gentrylusbyFACEBOOK/ facebook.com/gentrylusby

Every year on birthdays, I ask my friends and family, "what has been the biggest lesson you learned over the last year of your life?" It's been a tradition for many years now and everyone in my circle of friends and family knows it's coming.I recently had a birthday and had to answer the question myself, and what I came up with was this: You are valued, worthy, and enough, just because you're here. On this episode, I share more about this lesson and why it matters for all of us to learn at one point or another.

What happens when you fail at your purpose? Is that even possible?There is an idea circulating among certain cultures that we must find our one purpose or one "calling." And so, we go in search of it. We spend our lives seeking out this purpose and begin attaching it to "what we do" instead of "who we are."The lines between purpose, passion, meaning, and fulfillment get muddied, and when you remove one of those from the equation, your entire "purpose" can come crashing down.But what if purpose isn't about what we do? What if purpose is actually much simpler than what we believed? Listen in as we unpack purpose and what role it plays in our existence. Let's Connect on a deeper level:WEB/ www.gentrylusby.comINSTAGRAM/ @gentrylusbyFACEBOOK/ facebook.com/gentrylusby

This is going to kill me. Have you ever said those words or something similar? I'll never make it through this.This is too hard.I can't do this. All of these and so many other thoughts are rooted in this idea that somehow, we won't make it through our next hard situation. Somehow, it's going to get us.But wait, you have a 100% Survival Success rate. That's good odds if you ask me.

What could one decision mean for your life? I recently had a moment when a decision I made form 17 years ago came back to remind me of the power one decision can have. I hadn't thought of this one decision in nearly two decades and yet, within it was a lesson to remind me of the power our decisions carry. Let's Connect on a deeper level:WEB/ www.gentrylusby.comINSTAGRAM/ @gentrylusbyFACEBOOK/ facebook.com/gentrylusby

Storms are wild, right? They are these powerful, massive, destructive forces on our planet that can wipe out entire cities, and bring such devasting results. We're taught to take shelter from storms for our safety, and to evacuate when we can.I wonder, though, what it would look like for us to see that same power in the internal storms we face. What would it mean if we could see that the storms of our life - relational, mental, physical, emotional, etc. - carry the same power.  But even more than that, what if we realized that the same power exists within us? Would we still fear the internal storm? Let's Connect on a deeper level:WEB/ www.gentrylusby.comINSTAGRAM/ @gentrylusbyFACEBOOK/ facebook.com/gentrylusby

What happens when we close our mind off to the expansion it desperately craves? We live in a constantly expanding universe, which includes expanding our thoughts and thinking patterns.

Have you ever heard the phrase, "Everything you judge in others already exists in you?" If that's true, we have a lot of work to do on ourselves to move from judgment to acceptance.There are two main reasons we judge others that get unpacked in this episode. First, we judge others because there is something that exists in the person we're judging that we don't like about ourselves.Second, we judge others because there is something in that person we wish we had. If you're ready to explore these reasons and what you can do about it to become a more accepting individual, hit play!

One evening an old Cherokee told his grandson about a battle that goes on inside people. He said, "My son, the battle is between two wolves inside us all. One is Evil. It is anger, envy, jealousy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride, superiority, and ego. The other is good. It is joy, peace, love, hope, serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence, empathy, generosity, truth, compassion, and faith." The grandson thought about it for a minute and then asked his grandfather: "Which wolf wins?" The old Cherokee simply replied, "The one you feed."Let's explore what happens when we feed the wrongs things in our lives. Let's Connect on a deeper level:WEB/ www.gentrylusby.comINSTAGRAM/ @gentrylusbyFACEBOOK/ facebook.com/gentrylusby

Maybe you're like me and you've got intuition and ego mixed up many times in your life. It happens to all of us. It's also a big source of our personal frustration and disappointment. When we learn there is a difference between the two, and how to decipher between them, we can better trust our intuition for guidance and support because we know our ego.In this episode, you'll learn what your ego is, how it's different than your intuition, and some tips to start seeing them both more clearly.

Until we learn to see our inherent value and worth, we spend so much time looking to everyone else for direction. We look for who we should be, how we should act, where we should go, and what we want to be based on others' ideas. When we do this, we end up chartering a path that isn't for us.Inside (maybe deep inside) you know what you want your life to be. You know your dreams. You just haven't started to listen to what's within you for direction and guidance. Listen in to hear about a phrase Gentry wrote in his journal back in January 2020 and what it means for you: "You can keep the course, without the map. You can charter the waters, without the stars, because the direction you need lies inside of you already."Let's Connect on a deeper level:WEB/ www.gentrylusby.comINSTAGRAM/ @gentrylusbyFACEBOOK/ facebook.com/gentrylusby

Where does meaning come from? Who decides what meaning we apply to different ideas, beliefs, stories, events,  situations (and so much more). I'll let you in on a little secret - you are the meaning maker. Humans are the ones that apply meaning to different facets of life and if that's true, then you get to decide what meaning you apply to different parts of your life.

Do you ever wonder if your feelings are always true? Could it be possible that feelings are the most important part of your mental health? (Spoiler alert - they're not.)In this episode, we unpack the phrase "Feel your feelings. Choose your thoughts." We explore what exactly feelings are, whether or not they are evidence for something deeper, and the impact of using feelings as ammunition. It's a look at the darker side of feelings, but it will help you level up your emotional and mental health.Let's Connect on a deeper level:WEB/ www.gentrylusby.comINSTAGRAM/ @gentrylusbyFACEBOOK/ facebook.com/gentrylusby

Shame is an experience, not a feeling, and it's time we ditched it forever. Shame has no place in our lives.

We are all guilty of having expectations that never get expressed, and the truth is, those expectations are causing so many negative experiences in your life. Everything from frustration, disappointment, resentment, and anger.

It's not always fun. It's not always easy. Most times, it's hard, and it's difficult, but it's the work of growing. It's the work of evolving, and it's the work of becoming better versions of ourselves. Life is unpredictable. Life is just chaos taking order. It's disconnected dots that we draw a line between to connect and make some sort of order out of the chaos. Your life is your story. Your story has this present moment, the future, and the past. When you look back, you can see all the dots and how they're all connected. But when you look forward, you just see all the dots, and they seem chaotic because you still don't know how they're all going to connect. You haven't yet been able to make order out of the chaos. It's just a lot of dots. It's kind of like the stars in the night sky. They seem like there's no order to them. They look like they don't make sense. There are no patterns. It's just all these random stars in the sky. It wasn't until an astrologer looked up to the skies and started to make order out of them, and began to find the patterns, and started to see this isn't chaotic. There's some order. There's some pattern, and astrologers created the constellations. The constellations are beautiful. It's images drawn out of the stars in the sky. But someone had to do that. Someone had to look at that chaos and figure out how to turn it into something beautiful. All the dots of your past are like stars. You see how they're all connected. Maybe that's as far as you've ever taken it, you've only ever seen how everything has connected.You haven't learned to identify something greater out of them.

Today's podcast is all about one important choice you have to make in order to change everything. What's the choice? Whether or not you take radical responsibility for your entire existence. Yes, it sounds simple, but trust me, it's harder than it seems. And here's the catch, once you know about this choice, it's going to be hard to ignore it.If you want to take radical responsibility, you have to start with your external existence, both the situations you create and those created by other people. If you aren't taking radical responsibility for your external experience, you're most likely playing a victim. You’re knowingly or unknowingly giving yourself permission to put all of your problems, pain, grief, anxiety, depression, and challenges onto someone else, which is basically the opposite of responsibility.The second component of taking radical responsibility is taking responsibility for your internal existence. This is your mindset, thoughts, self-talk, limiting beliefs, and the story you're telling yourself. A lot of people don’t question what’s happening inside their minds. They think the thoughts they have are the ultimate truth. They take no responsibility for their thinking and all the other aspects of their internal existence.If you want to show up in ways that matter, you must decide if you will take responsibility for both your internal and external existence. The external is all about the situations happening around you, both that others created and that you created, and then how you’re responding and reacting to it. Your internal has to do with what’s happening in your mind, your thoughts, and the way you react and respond to what is created in your mind. You have to choose to take responsibility for both, if you want to stop playing the role of victim, and start showing up in ways that matter.LET'S CONNECT!Gentry is a mindset coach that helps you show up for your life, business, and most importantly, yourself.

On today's episode, we're talking about a lesson I had to learn in order to show up for all that was happening around me. Here's the lesson - we can learn to embrace the good with the bad, the happy with the sad. It's not either/or. When we learn to hold both simultaneously, we can fully experience our life in bigger and better ways. I used to try and ignore, deny, and suppress the parts of life I didn't like. The problem was that I spent so much time and energy fighting off the bad, that I didn't show up for the good either. When I finally stopped trying to ignore the bad and instead made space for it in my life, I found that the bad would pass so much faster. There are three steps I've identified to move from a place of pushing away anything I didn't want to embrace, to fully embracing all that life offers. Awareness - This is step one and all about making space for what is. Without awareness, life is happening to you instead of for you. Acceptance - We think if we avoid the bad and hard, then life is full of good and happy. 100% BS. Ignoring something doesn't make it not real. You have to learn to accept whatever is happening to you and around you. Allowance - The final step is learning to fully allow whatever's happening in your life. If we try to push away the bad, it will resurface at a future point, but if we learn to allow it in our lives, it often moves through us and away from us much faster. If you want to show up for your life completely and create results that matter, you have to learn to embrace ALL that is. You can do this.

It's one part wit. One part wisdom. And another part coaching. I can't promise it will be perfect, but that's not what I'm after. I know you matter and you were made for more. I'm here to help guide you towards the life you want.
