TedX Speaker and Author Dai Manuel and I sat down and discussed whole life fitness, what that means, and how you can improve your life through fitness.Fitness is one of the pillars of life.  I teach four pillars: Mental, Physical, Emotional and Spiritual Health.Dai focuses on the pillars of Fitness, Faith, Family, Finances and Fun.Together we break down why you need to develop resiliency in this crazy world. Physical health is highly dependent on how much you move. Reclaim your physical health because it trickles down into every aspect of your life. How we age is directly dependent on the choices you make today. Vitality and energy as you age depends on your lifestyle choices and habits. Are you going to be one of those overweight, wheelchair bound (for no reason other than you are out of shape), and sad old people? Or, are you going to choose a lifestyle that will keep you in shape, feeling young, and able to travel and do the things you want as you age.  It's your choice.Dai Manuel is found on Facebook and Instagram or you can read his blog at https://daimanuel.comAs always, I am offering an intense 4-week program to learn to make the decisions that will help you live the life you choose!

You have the duty, the purpose, the right to create the life you desire.Have you ever heard the phrase "live life on purpose"? It's a great phrase with lots of meaning. A purpose driven life means you aren't wasting your time, your life away. You seek out your purpose and you seek to fulfill it.Another quote that John and I expound upon is the idea that it is the duty of the enlightened to enlighten the unenlightened. Think about that. The student becomes the master and finds new students and the process moves on throughout the ages. That's how information has been passed down and transcended time.Another necessity for living a purpose driven life is to become self-aware, and to be receptive to new info. Contrary to popular belief, you don't know everything...neither do I and that's OK! In fact, knowing that you don't know everything can help you be open to new ideas and possibilities. The danger lies in being completely close-minded.Live the life you desire.If you want to hear more from John Mendez, check him out on his website https://www.walktowealth.comThis is all part of living a holistic life. Holistic in the sense of being whole. You are the sum of your parts!

If you do nothing, it will look very much like 2022.One of my primary goals this year is to become financially free by helping as many people as possible to also earn a million dollars or more and live the life they desire. Maybe you don't desire money, but you desire to have your life in order. Both of these ideas require certain steps, and those steps are: Getting your mind and body right; getting your spirit and emotions under control; and learning to make decisions, act on them, and assess the outcome of those decisions and actions and adjust accordingly. In this episode I suggest how to start. Where should you begin to plan for the next year? Listen up and find out.I am offering a four-week intensive deep dive into decision making for the future.

You have a problem.You don't listen. You never hear me. You miscommunicate at home or work.You get confused because you misinterpret what you hear.Why?Because you listen only enough to think about what you want to say rather than listening to relate to what is being relayed. This makes it difficult to understand.Brigitta Hoeferle and I share a deep discussion about how you can learn to listen, not with the intent of responding, but with the intent of relating to the person you are talking to. This will improve relationships at work, at home, in family or friendships...it's a skill that all of us need to improve.The main problem you have when talking to someone...is listening.You know it.

You are Not Broken!You may feel that you are. You may struggle with what you are conditioned to believe about yourself. If Jean and I can leave you with one message in this episode it is that you are not broken.Living unapologetically authentic means allowing us to be who we truly are. It is filtering out what we've been conditioned to believe about ourselves and learning to overcome the true source of our struggles within...fear of judgement or rejection.Jean Tien is a reformed corporate climber that fumbled her way through life, her words, until she realized that "happily ever after doesn't automatically happen when you start to make more money or climb the corporate ladder. She says that following this age-old formula for success didn't work because it wasn't allowing her to be herself."In this episode we unpack the success formula that Jean developed for overcoming her fears and living unapologetically authentic. Additionally, we discuss minor things like: cancel culture, fear of judgement, deficiencies in self-esteem, etc. Listen in and take notes to help you become who you are meant to be. It's not always who you think today that it is!Jean's book The S.U.C.C.E.S.S Method will be out in December or January.Support the show

There is a difference between meditation and prayer. Centering prayer or Silent prayer is a form of meditation. It's an opportunity to continuously center your mind and clear the clutter and noise so you can hear what God is saying to you.Often Journaling after your 15 minutes of Silence will help you understand themes that stand out and what repeats you can understand what you should be doing. It's the opportunity to let go of who you are not.Rich Lewis, author of "Sitting with God: A Journey to Centering Yourself" takes us through the how and why of centering prayer.  It's a unique way to look into yourself, your life, and let go.Rich has information available and his book as well at https://silenceteaches.comLearn to strengthen your spiritual side by going SILENT!!Support the show

The old adage "Chase after your dreams!" is a little overrated in my opinion. Because you should not just chase, but catch and live them.That's the premise behind today's episode.You have one life to live. Do you want to be always chasing, never satisfied, never fulfilled? Or do you want to live the life you dream?Today I go over how I have been living my best life and achieving my dreams with emphasis on how you can too!Support the show

Why is it hard for your brain to be productive?

Be Impeccable with your word!Don't take anything personally!Don't assume!Do your best!Those are the four agreements from the book "The Four Agreements".  Today, my good friend and your podcast psychotherapist, Shane Murphy, and I discuss each agreement in depth.These agreements are integral to mental health. Mental health isn't talked about enough. How to improve your mental health is the purpose of this episode. We get wrapped up in anxiety. When we don't follow the four agreements, anxiety grows within us and affects everything. We make assumptions because we are not thinking rationally. Anxieties lead to panic and fear. 90% of your anxiety comes from inaccurate assumptions.We talk about how you can flip your emotions when you are about to take something personal.And we delve into that buzzword of the last few years - being triggered.Why do we get triggered?Where does it come from? We delve into this and how to take ownership of your thoughts and your life. I highly recommend this episode.  Shane now has a radio show on Cry104 FM and started a program called Creative Pathways - a way for people to connect with creativity and psychotherapy.As always, I am available for coaching and consulting and should you need to go even deeper into traumas and deep mental health work, I recommend Shane.

Have you ever considered a career coach?Have you ever wanted support to work towards your goals, an accountability partner, or someone to tell you straight up where you are screwing up?A coach can help you re-evaluate your style and strategy, help you set boundaries, learn to say no diplomatically, and more...Benefits of a career coach: - financial reward - increased confidence - accountability - help you change perspective and perceptionHow are you seeing the world? What you see is based not on truth but on your perception of the world. Do the work, see the results! That's the premise behind having a coach - someone who will help you change your perception and work on the root causes.The word Mindset seems to be overused at this point, and a career coach will help you figure out what areas your "mindset" needs to change. Everyone has past trauma that affects their thinking. Usually people just work on the symptoms. A good coach will look past the symptoms to work on the root cause.So - Why should you get a coach?Why now?Do you spend too much time justifying actions you don't like, decisions you're not happy with?As coaches we help you make decisions.My guest, Lily Woi, and I spent this half hour talking all things career coaching, answering the questions up above and many more, demystifying coaching.Lily is a Career Development Coach, an expert in helping individuals accelerate their career progression.

Thoughts create emotions. Emotions stimulate your reactions.Emotions drive everything.There is a right way of thinking that will help you find solutions to mental health, mental issues, etc. Yes, I went there. Mental health is deteriorating and in part it is due to lack of control of our thoughts and our emotions.When emotions are out of control, take a moment and just breathe. There is power in your breath. Pause, and breathe. Listen to the inhale and exhale. It stimulates the vagus nerve and helps to calm your system.We react emotionally because we build defense mechanisms to prevent ourselves from getting hurt. We have subconscious programming that causes our emotions. It can be reprogrammed.My guest today, Carrie Schmidt, teaches a 7-step timeline system for lifting long-term patterns and reprogramming them. Carrie is the founder and CEO of Infinite SOULutions and author of the book "Behind the Screen" where she teaches her 7-step system. Her book is available at the following link: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09ZCJNFK3Listen in to find out how you can adjust your subconscious programs.Live the life you truly desire and don't be hostage to thoughts brought on by emotions that are controlled by your subconscious.If you are looking for a business or career coach, need to level-up, break through to the next financial goal or personal life and fitness goals, you can reach out to me here and schedule a free initial consult: https://calendly.com/toddtalksllc/inititalconsultSupport the show

Change judgmental phrases to "That's interesting!" It takes the steam out of the negative thought and allows you to stay positive mentally. That's one of the many things I learned as Julianne Bosch and I discussed everything under the sun about international travel, family life while an expat, and how to be a CEO and a mom/wife at the same time.Julianne is a "Mom CEO" and a life and career coach, author of "How a Mother Took Her First Steps on the Moon". Juggling between family and work is hard for men, even harder for women. One of the main ways you can find fulfillment as you are attempting to have both is to narrow down your life. Don't try to do it all. Make choices and stick to what you plan.Joy is found in purpose. Find your purpose.Recognize where you are today. You're not alone in overthinking, overdoing, and overstressing. Breathe and just take stock of where you are today.Life is complicatedly simple. Think of it--life, family, work--as an elephant you have to eat. Just do it in small bites, one bite at a time.When stressed and overwhelmed, go back to the basics. Have a set of non-negotiables in life and strip it down to the basics so that you have a place to fall back to when you've taken on too much.Brainstorm crazy ideas. Use them to break "my way or the highway" madness. Figure out worst case scenarios. etc.Finally, when you set your intention based on your non-negotiables, things start clicking.Julianne's book mirrored her life and practice. It's a book of advice for parents and others about taking ownership and living a life of intention.You can find her at https://juliannebosch.com; or https://mothersfirststep.comFor those of you that are looking for a coach or consultant for your career, business, or life - I offer a free initial consult to see if we'd be a good fit.

Leadership is not about the title. It's about the qualities and respect accorded to an individual who earns the trust of his team.Whether it's a large corporation or a small business, most organizations are still broken up in teams, just like the Navy Seals. The cohesiveness of the Navy Seals is difficult to create in the civilian world because it is not life and death.Leadership is important because leadership determines the success of the team. There are major consequences for poor leadership.We discuss the challenges of leadership, the fastest way to destroy trust in an organization, and how to build it.One epidemic that is currently happening is talent flight due to bad leaders.Let's get that under control.How do you become a better leader?Listen in as Marty Strong and I discuss leadership in all its aspects.

Feed  your tigers. That's the premise behind Steven Rudolph's podcast, book, website etc. But, what are your tigers and how should they be fed?The point of this episode is to show you how to develop your natural abilities (your tigers) and point you in the direction you are naturally inclined towards for success. We discuss the hero's journey, the trials and tribulations of life, and how they mold us into the person we are meant to be, if we let them.Suffering is a part of life. We grow through it.Health, in this sense, means you are situated within yourself. You are being yourself and not trying to be someone you are not.Central concept of the episode is how to find your unique nature.Stephen can be found at https://feedyourtigers.com/On the site there are some free learning tools to help you figure out your natural abilities.Support the show
