Is your work no longer making you happy? Are you ready for something to change but unsure what the right next step should be?  Making a career change, especially when everything looks great on paper, can feel like a huge challenge (even more so when it feels like you're doing it alone).   But this unsettling feeling you're experiencing can actually be a gift, nudging you to transition with intention because that's the only path to fulfillment that will put YOUR values first. Today on The Bridge to FulfillmentⓇ, Blake shares the most effective way to navigate a crossroads in your life and career. In this episode, you'll learn how to use this season of transition as an opportunity to avoid career burnout before it happens, identify your unique secret sauce transferrable skills™, and start creating the life you've always wanted. You'll learn why what you've been doing hasn't produced results, and what you can do right now to finally get things moving in the right direction.     What You'll Learn: Two approaches to making a transition (1:09) The place most people get stuck (3:20) The biggest challenge we face when seeking change (5:15) Why you're not gaining more clarity (7:30) The moment “more” becomes possible (11:48)   Favorite Quotes: “This is where so many of us get stuck:  we're making these changes, or we're trying to get clarity, we're reading the books, we're changing jobs, we are having these conversations, and they're not moving us forward.” “When we lack clarity, we believe that the answer lies externally, in our circumstances, in somebody's book and somebody else's journey. And I want you to know that that's just not true. The answer is always internal. It's inside of you.” “We often believe clarity has to be difficult, hard and painful to get. But that's just not true. It's our approach that is difficult, hard and painful.” “It's all possible, but it's only possible when we look at our circumstances and recognize where I am today is not the life I want to be repeating, and I'm done just tolerating what I have I want more.”   Additional Resources:  Get clarity on where you are on your journey to career fulfillment, where you're headed, optional paths to get there, and the right next step to take.

We all have those moments where life gives us a choice – say yes to growth, or stay stuck. For years, I let fear win. I'd hesitate, overthink, and end up doing nothing. But everything changed the day I started saying "yes.”  I remember standing at a crossroads, scared to speak in front of people, doubting whether I was good enough. But something in me just clicked, and I said yes to a speaking opportunity that terrified me. I stumbled through it, but it didn't matter. That one yes opened the door to the life I'm living now – coaching people from around the world, sharing stages with other inspiring voices, and building a life that aligns with my true purpose. In this episode, I talk about why saying yes changes everything and how it leads to the growth and opportunities you've been waiting for. Tune in and learn how to stop living life on the sidelines and start saying yes to yourself! Key Takeaways:  Intro (00:00)  Upcoming London event (01:33) Finding "home" as a state of inner peace (05:14) Importance of investing in self-development (09:28) Repetition and consistency are keys to growth (13:33) Making space for blessings by letting go of the past (18:47) Learning from obstacles on the path to success (22:58) Discovering a passion for public speaking (28:49) Attracting new opportunities by saying "yes" (31:56) The transformative power of facing fears (34:21) Additional Resources:

When was the last time you felt grateful just to breathe? Or to hear your favorite song? We are often there – hustling, wanting more, chasing the next big achievement, and thinking, "I'll be happy when..." But that mindset actually keeps us stuck in a cycle of dissatisfaction. I know what I'm talking about because I used to be that person. I always wanted more, always felt like something was missing. But then I started to shift my focus to what I already had. I mean, we have so much we take for granted – fingers that can type, eyes that can see, the technology to connect with loved ones miles away. The simple things we never stop to appreciate. Don't get me wrong – it's not that our goals don't matter. They do. But we get so used to the good stuff we already have that we forget to even notice it. That's why we end up feeling numb, restless, and always reaching for something else. In fact, we're usually overcomplicating things. The truth is simple: if all you're looking at is what's lacking, you're going to miss the magic of what's right in front of you. In this episode, I talk about why gratitude isn't just a nice idea, but the key to a fulfilled life. It isn't out of reach – it's within you. So, if you're tired of feeling like enough is never enough, join me and start seeing life in a whole new way. Tune in now!

This time, I'm chatting with Sarah Stowers about her transformation after joining my "Superpower Mastermind" program. Sarah's story began after a tough breakup when she felt completely lost and overwhelmed.

Today, Sarah is living her dream life and doing great in her career as an acupuncturist. Even better, her growth motivated her partner to focus on their own self-development. Sarah agreed to be my guest in this episode to share her story of facing old wounds, learning to love herself, and finding the confidence to rebuild her life.

For years, I thought peace was something I could achieve once I ticked off all the right boxes – success, money, relationships. But inner peace doesn't come from any of that. What no one around me ever told me was that peace is an inside job.  They don't talk about it, not because they don't care, but because many people don't know how to find it themselves. Or they simply don't want to be disturbed by your change, especially when it goes against their expectations of who you should be.  Parents, siblings, and friends often feel uncomfortable when you start doing what serves you because it challenges their own comfort zones. They've gotten used to a version of you, and your growth can feel like a disruption to their reality​. So, I had to figure out for myself that creating peace meant letting go of old habits, bad relationships, and negative thinking. It meant getting uncomfortable and making real changes, not just in my external world but in the way I approached life internally. And let me tell you, when I started focusing on what brought me peace instead of what others expected of me, everything shifted. I stopped chasing success and started living with intention. In this episode, I'll break down what you need to do to find inner peace. I'm talking about eliminating the noise, understanding where your peace has been blocked, and creating space for the things that really matter. Tune in and learn how to stop living for others and start creating your own peace. Let's dive in! Key Takeaways:  Intro (00:00) Internal vs. external sources of disturbance (00:54) Peace is the most desired goal (02:45) Live Event in London (03:33) “Paying your way” to peace (03:55) The lies we live and their impact on peace (09:40) Facing fears as the gateway to peace (12:50) The role of authenticity in achieving peace (15:30) How peace fosters creativity and mental clarity (18:10) Final thoughts (21:00) Additional Resources:

One of the biggest lessons life taught me was when I realized that peace wasn't something I could chase down or force into being. I thought I had to work harder and achieve more to finally feel calm and at ease. But no matter what I did, that inner sense of peace somehow kept slipping away. That's because peace doesn't come from external success – it comes from within. So, I began by making small, intentional changes to my daily routine. I started waking up earlier and using the first part of my day to be still and quiet – lighting a candle, meditating, letting my thoughts drift without judgment... No, I wasn't some kind of meditation guru or perfect at it. But what was really important was taking a moment to connect with myself and quiet the noise. And believe me — these small actions began to shift everything. I wasn't chasing peace anymore. I was creating it. Want to know more? Tune in to this episode as I break down how you can achieve that same sense of peace in your life. Join me and discover how to stop feeling restless, constantly caught in your thoughts, or drowning in chaos, and start living in peace every single day. Let's dive in! Key Takeaways:  Intro (00:00)  Consistency is the secret to success (00:45) Harness the power of mindset and energy (01:50) Stop overthinking and start taking action (04:09) Aligning with nature's rhythm (06:26) Luke's morning routine – a blueprint for productivity (09:16) Why waking up early will transform your life (14:02) Finding peace and purpose in daily habits (16:56) Unlock Your Greatness in London (18:10) Final thoughts (18:45) Additional Resources:

It's human nature to seek approval. We often mold ourselves to meet the expectations of others – friends, family, colleagues – just to feel accepted. But what happens when that approval never comes, or worse, when it leaves you feeling empty? I used to be there for years – giving more of myself even when I felt unappreciated, saying yes when I was already stretched thin, being a people pleaser, and constantly trying to fit in. I thought it would finally make me feel whole. But instead, it left me feeling anxious, unappreciated, and burnt out. So why do we do that? Why are we so quick to become what others want and lose touch with who we really are? It's because many of us are still carrying the wounds of childhood trauma. We were told to be quiet, to follow the rules, and that our worth had to come from outside sources – whether that was from family, school, or friends.  So we continue seeking that approval as adults, unaware that we're still acting out of old patterns of rejection and abandonment. In this episode, I'm sharing how I stopped seeking validation from others and started healing myself. I talk about unlearning toxic patterns and breaking free from the need to be accepted by everyone. Tune in to learn how to reclaim your energy, heal yourself, and step into your greatness – without needing anyone's approval but your own. Let's dive in and stop trying to fit in once and for all.⁤​​ Key Takeaways:  Intro (00:00) Importance of self-love and boundaries (03:32) Seeking approval sabotages your relationships (07:15) Break free from old habits (10:52) Change happens through inspiration or desperation (14:05) Creating a plan for real, lasting change (17:05) The power of self-awareness in everyday life (19:21) Additional Resources:

Many of us are trapped in cycles that no longer serve us, stuck in habits that keep us stagnant. We feel guilty for even thinking about breaking free because we don't want to hurt those around us. Sound familiar? I get it because I lived that for years. I stayed stuck in destructive habits, running the same scripts in my head, thinking this was just how life was. Whether it was snorting coke, binge-watching Netflix, or just escaping in any way I could, I didn't realize I was programming my mind for failure. The truth is – the way I was thinking was shaping my entire life. But when I finally decided that enough was enough and took the steps to change my mindset, my reality shifted completely. I let go of the old Luke and stepped into a new version of myself. It wasn't easy. It meant making choices that left some people behind, and it felt uncomfortable, but it was necessary. Once I realized how powerful mindset is in shaping our reality, I started living a life that I'm proud of today. That's why I created the Unlock Your Greatness event – to help others, like you, break free from limiting beliefs, heal past traumas, and step into the greatness that's waiting for them. You deserve to feel fulfilled, happy, and fully alive every day. At the event, I'll be sharing the exact strategies that helped me create a new life. If you join me and other amazing speakers, we'll guide you through the transformation you need. Tune in to this episode to learn more.

Many of us spend so much time comparing ourselves to others, especially when we see younger people finding success early in life. We start to doubt ourselves, thinking we're too old or that we've missed our chance. But what we fail to realize is that true wisdom doesn't come from success alone – it comes from experience, something that only time can give you. You can't fast-forward life to gain the lessons that come with it. In this episode, I reflect on turning 40 and the power that comes with having lived through 40 years of experiences. Over the last six years, I've built my confidence, created my own business, and released over 330 podcast episodes, but the biggest lesson I've learned is that life experience is my greatest asset. Back when I was 33, I used to think I wasn't smart enough to run a business, and I believed confidence was something you were born with. I was wrong. The challenges I faced over the years, from overcoming self-doubt to moving to Poland after years of hard work, taught me that confidence and success are built over time. If you're feeling stuck, thinking you've missed your chance to change your life, think again. You're not starting from scratch – you're starting from experience, and that's more powerful than anything else. Tune in, and let's start making changes together – no matter your age. It's never too late. Key Takeaways:  Intro (00:00) The power of consistency in content creation (02:20) How I broke free from limiting beliefs (04:15) What my parents' sacrifices taught me (08:40) Growing up in a culturally diverse neighborhood (11:10) Overcoming financial struggles and finding independence (18:50) Why wisdom comes with age and experience (22:30) Following my dreams and moving to Poland (26:00) Why consistent effort always pays off (30:10) How self-love and emotional intelligence changed my life (38:00) Additional Resources:

Are you a people pleaser with a high tolerance for handling what life throws at you? Do you pride yourself on your deep empathy for others, often procrastinating on what's important to you? If perfectionism and procrastination feel like inescapable parts of your life, then life is trying to tell you something.  Procrastination isn't a flaw. It is a signal that's urging you to dig deeper into your underlying fears, recognize what's misaligned, and identify what doesn't feel safe.  Today on The Bridge to FulfillmentⓇ, Blake welcomes Elyssa Smith, a trauma-informed life strategist who helps people understand the brain science behind self-sabotage. She's the founder of Your Best Moment and creator of the Ultimate Self-Regulation Method. Her work empowers women to overcome self-sabotage and trauma and break free from procrastination, people-pleasing, and overwhelm.  In this episode, you'll learn how trauma from our past influences behaviors like procrastination and perfectionism. You'll begin to understand the two types of pain, identifying the kind that strengthens versus the kind that injures, and why knowing which is which is critical for growth. You'll gain a fresh perspective on why you might be feeling stuck and how you can finally break free by addressing what feels unsafe. If you're a high achiever who often pushes yourself into burnout, these actionable strategies will help you shift from survival mode to a place of thriving.   What You'll Learn: Identifying when people pleasing is helpful versus harmful (8:11) The build-up of ‘shoulds' that keep us stuck (15:03) Pain and our fear of failure (25:32) Big and ‘Tiny T' traumas that influence our patterns in life (35:25) Working through procrastination (43:13)   Favorite Quotes: “I think often we've been rewarded for focusing on everyone else, and in some cases, made to believe that it's selfish to take care of yourself.” –Blake “Helping that's harmful is helping that is at your expense. There's something to be said for sacrificing for other people, but if it's a lifestyle, that's where you get into burnout. That's where you get into resentment.” –Elyssa Smith “The vast majority of our stress, anxiety, and our problems are not circumstantial. It's not the toxic boss or the environment. It's whatever belief systems, patterns, etc, that we are dealing with that are creating that anxiety.” –Blake “We have this special switch that we can turn on or off that's like, ‘I will tolerate more than is reasonable for no good reason'. So I had to find that switch, and I had to turn it off and say, No, babe, we don't need to do that.”  –Elyssa Smith “The path of gentleness is sort of paved with a fear of failure. And the fear of failure is what the pain of strengthening looks like.”  –Elyssa Smith “If those are your answers, work harder, be better, do more, you know that that is the pain that injures. If the kind of hard work you have to do is face your fears, that's the pain that causes resilience.”  –Elyssa Smith Connect with Elyssa Smith: https://elyssasmith.com www.facebook.com/elyssacsmith www.instagram.com/elyssacsmith www.linkedin.com/in/elyssasmith The Stress Less Lounge FB group: https://elyssasmith.com/facebook   ---------   Additional Resources: Get clarity on where you are on your journey to career fulfillment, where you're headed, optional paths to get there, and the right next step to take.

People mostly spend time trying to fit in. That's the way society programs us from the time we're born. They teach us to meet everyone else's expectations – how we should act, what we should wear, how we should think. Sound familiar? I know it does. But life is too short to spend it the way you're expected to, instead of the way you desire to. We need to break free from the expectations that have been holding us back and step into the full, authentic version of ourselves. Let's ask ourselves for a moment – is there any valid reason to change who we are for anyone? We aren't meant to be someone else's version of perfect. And that's the topic of this week's episode – I talk about saying no to the world that constantly tries to box you in. I also share my own journey of battling self-doubt, people-pleasing, and trying to meet expectations that weren't even mine. But then I realized I shouldn't care – and neither should you. People will judge you without knowing your story, but that's not your burden to carry. So, if you're ready to stop conforming and start living for yourself, this episode is exactly what you need. Tune in, and let's talk about how to stay true to who you are – no matter what. Key Takeaways:  Intro (00:00) Overcoming self-doubt and insecurities (01:36) Unlock Your Greatness in London (03:04) Healing through vulnerability (04:05) Judging without knowing the full story (08:26) Be your own safe space (10:30) No to people-pleasing (13:48) Reincarnation analogy: repeating life if you don't fulfill your purpose (18:56) Meeting your true self in heaven (23:00) You attract what you resonate with (31:36) It's okay to be "selfish" when you're saying yes to your future (42:10) Additional Resources:

Our time is the most precious resource we have. That's the only thing we can never get back. Yet, many of us waste it doing things we don't like and that don't serve us. I see it all the time (and I bet you do too): people stuck in jobs they hate, in relationships that drive them crazy, in routines that suffocate them. I used to be in that place, too. I was obsessed with trying to meet others' expectations – fitting in, being cool, being accepted, being what people around me wanted. In all that pretending, I forgot about my own desires. In fact, it's easy to get caught in a spiral where you are chasing the wrong goals and thinking that your own dreams aren't so important. It's easy to forget that you can never truly achieve success or happiness if you're not prioritizing yourself. It's not selfish – it's necessary. So, I made a decision that literally changed my life. I decided to invest time and money into becoming a better version of myself because I couldn't expect anyone else to do it for me. And once I started focusing on my personal growth, everything changed. It wasn't just in my perception. My life, the people around me, energy, opportunities – everything literally changed. This can happen to you, too. And the best part is that you don't have to wait for the perfect moment to start. There's no perfect time to begin working on yourself. You just have to start. In this week's episode, I'm talking about how you can begin to invest in yourself, reclaim your time, and finally start moving in the direction of your dreams. This is one you don't want to miss – tune in now! Key Takeaways:  Intro (00:00) Progress equals happiness (00:56) Be your own best friend - invest in yourself (04:42) Consistency leads to success (07:30) Stop tolerating negativity (09:22)  Unlock Your Greatness (10:14) From suffering to greatness (12:39) Risk everything to be yourself (17:40) Additional Resources:

Where does overthinking come from? Why do we replay the same scenario in our heads a hundred times? What if they're mad at me? What did I say wrong? Why am I always doubting myself? It often happens when there's confusion or a lack of communication in your relationships – maybe with family, friends, or even at work. When you don't have clarity, your mind jumps to conclusions, filling in the gaps with doubt, assumptions, and unnecessary stress. In this episode, I'm sharing my own experience with overthinking and how I finally put a stop to it.  For me, the turning point was realizing that communication is everything. Instead of letting my mind run wild with “what ifs,” I started asking the right questions and getting the clarity I needed. That alone brought me so much peace.  I also talk about how protecting your energy and surrounding yourself with the right people can make a huge difference in how you think and feel every day. If you've been feeling stuck in your head lately, this episode will show you how to get out of that cycle. It's time to start communicating better, let go of those assumptions, and reclaim your peace.  Let's dive in and break free from overthinking once and for all!⁤ Key Takeaways:  Intro (00:00)  The importance of peace in relationships (01:33) Assumptions grow from lack of clarity (03:40) Communication – the cure for overthinking (05:47) Everything you reveal, you heal (09:40) The impact of connection in lonely times (10:27) Why positive people elevate your life (19:57) Protecting your energy for inner peace (21:28) Additional Resources:

Ever feel like no matter what you do, you're just not making the money you know you're capable of? There's a reason for that – and it's something I've seen again and again. In this episode, I talk about the one decision that completely shifted the way I think about money, and it changed everything for me. We all carry stories from our past – about what we deserve, what's possible, or how hard it should be to earn more. But the truth is, those stories aren't helping you. What if I told you that making just one choice could shift your entire reality? When you decide to start thinking differently, you'll see opportunities you didn't even know were there. I'm sharing exactly how I did that, and how you can too. If you've been waiting for a sign that it's time to step up and claim the life you want, this is it. Let's make it happen – hit play! P.S.

When I was in my mid-30s, I was living what many would consider a cool life. I had a stable job and a decent salary, hung out with my friends, and partied regularly – the routine looked great on paper. But deep down, something felt off. Every morning, I woke up with a feeling in my gut that I was missing out on something important. I kept telling myself I was fine, that I had more than many people would ever have, that I should be satisfied... until I couldn't ignore it anymore. I realized I wasn't excited about anything in my life. I was just going through the motions, doing what I thought I was supposed to do, and it was draining me. I had been ignoring the signs for too long – the feeling that I wasn't living in alignment with who I really was or what I truly wanted. That's when I made the decision to change. Now, this wasn't some overnight transformation. It took time, reflection, and a lot of self-questioning. But it all started with one crucial realization: the life I was living wasn't the life I wanted. If you've been feeling stuck, like something just isn't right, maybe it's time for you to listen to that inner voice, too. In this episode, I talk about how you can recognize the signs that it's time for a life change and, more importantly, how to take action once you do.

Many of us pile up the weight of our past and carry it for years without realizing it makes us feel like we're running in a hamster wheel. It's because unresolved pain, trauma, and insecurities keep holding us back, making it hard to move forward and start living the life we want instead of the one we're forced to live. Yes, the healing process is the first step to changing your life. But before you can truly heal from the pain, shame, or trauma you've experienced, you have to learn to love yourself. Without self-love, the emotional wounds of the past keep festering. In this episode, I share my own journey of breaking free from past trauma when I finally managed to build a deep, loving relationship with myself. That allowed me to create the strength to face my past, rewrite my story, and become the confident person I always wanted to be. Would you like to free yourself from the pain of your past, old scars, and limiting beliefs? Tune in to this episode to begin your own healing journey. Don't wait another day – jump in right now!

How many times have you put on a brave face and said, "I'm fine," when, deep down, you knew you weren't?  We're all experts at hiding our pain. We pretend we're fine and tell ourselves and others that everything's OK. But pretending won't make the hurt go away. In fact, the more you ignore it, the heavier it gets, and eventually, it may even start affecting your health.  Being happy doesn't mean being strong all the time or acting like you've got it all together. If you want to find peace and fulfillment, you need to heal first.  And real healing begins when you stop pushing your emotions aside and start facing them. You need to feel what you need to feel and work through it ᅳ whether it's old trauma, toxic relationships, or just the weight of everyday stress.  The formula is simple, but not easy. Let go of the emotional baggage you're carrying and be honest with yourself and those around you. Stop tolerating toxicity, start living authentically, and create a life where you can truly grow. As you can see, real healing takes courage, but it leads to freedom ᅳ freedom to be your true self, to let go of old pain, and to move forward into a life of peace and happiness.  Want to find out who can help and how? Tune in to this episode! Key Takeaways:  Intro (00:00) The body naturally heals itself (01:49) Stress and anger lower vibration and cause disease (02:37) Most people hide their true feelings (05:10) Resonance and connection are key to healing (07:21) Stop seeking external validation (12:08) Additional Resources:

Have you ever felt like you were living someone else's life? Like you were following a script written by society, your family, or even your past self? I used to feel that way, too. Deep down, I knew I could be a happy, fulfilled person. But I felt like that amazing person was paralyzed inside me. Until I dared to be my true, authentic self. Unapologetically. I didn't care what people around me would say – I finally started being me. That beautiful person is waiting for you too, lying inside of you, waiting for you to let them shine. So, stop conforming to others' expectations. When you start being genuine and showing up for yourself, you'll feel a sense of satisfaction that no external validation can provide. Authenticity is one of the topics I discuss in this week's episode. Join me, and we'll also explore: The importance of self-discovery and self-creation The impact of negative programming from parents and society Why we shouldn't give up on our dreams even when it's hard and doesn't make sense How to have uncomfortable conversations and speak your truth to avoid the trap of overthinking How to use your mind power and change your thoughts to change your whole life So, tune in and start creating a reality that's true to yourself!

Here's a story about a 62-year-old client of mine. Lisa joined my 20-week superpower mastermind program to heal and change her life. Her peers usually think it's too late to begin anything new at their age, let alone chase their dreams. But Lisa decided to try. However, right at the beginning, she hit a massive roadblock: technology. I know this seems simple to you and me, but she wasn't very tech-savvy, and even logging into the program was a real challenge for her. She was so frustrated that she almost quit right then and there. But it was also the turning point: she could have given up, but instead, Lisa pushed through. I spent almost an hour guiding her step by step until she could navigate the system on her own. Now, why am I sharing this with you? Because this is not just a story about how the elderly can learn how to use technology – it's also about proving to herself that she can overcome any obstacle, no matter how big or small. All she needed were two things that we all need if we want to reach our goals, make our dreams come true, or succeed in any area of life. Curious about what those two things are? Join me and find out in this episode! Tune in now.

It's so common that people get stuck in their comfort zones. At one point in my life, I felt like I was running in place – until I realized that comfort was actually my biggest enemy. I remember the moment it hit me. I was stuck in a full-time job that was safe and secure, but it was slowly suffocating my dreams. Every day, I'd dabble in my passions, but fear and familiarity kept me stuck in my "comfortable" life. Everything changed when I finally stepped into discomfort. When you're doing the same thing for a long period of time, you become comfortable. You don't even need to like (let alone love) what you're doing – but you're comfortable with it. And that's the exact reason why you're not living your best life or chasing your dreams. But here's the truth: pressure builds diamonds. The pressure to step out of your comfort zone will push you to move, show up for yourself, and claim what you deserve – like it did for me. You just need to stop playing small and dabbling in your dreams. In this episode, I explain why getting out of your comfort zone is the only way to grow. I share the hard truths about pain, fear, and other setbacks you think are in your way. Join me – you won't regret it! Tune in now!

I often talk about surrounding yourself with successful people to attract success, and I mean it. But they should be around you to inspire you, not to give you success or save you. Staying close to the right people will help you, but true success comes from within. You must do your part – leave your comfort zone and show up for yourself. In this episode, I share how living in Poland pushed me to grow in ways I never expected. I learned to trust the process, to be patient, and, most importantly, to take full responsibility for my own success. I've also seen how the environment shapes our mindset. My time in Dubai, surrounded by affluence and success, has been mentally stimulating and transformative. But I've also learned the importance of balance – of finding peace in quieter, simpler surroundings. If you're ready to stop waiting for success to find you and start creating your own path, join me and find out how to begin your own journey of growth. Tune in now!

Do you feel like the world is hopeless, crumbling around you, and full of negativity? Today's media landscape can make the world seem like a scary place. But the reality is not so lopsided.  There's an abundance of positivity happening in the world.  It just doesn't make the news.  Today on The Bridge to FulfillmentⓇ, Blake shares how the negativity bias of the media we consume can easily drag us down, affecting how we see the world and how we feel about our lives.  In this episode, you'll learn how to start paying more attention to the input you're receiving and exposing yourself to. Whether it's social media or the nightly news, these outlets have a bias toward negativity and a lasting effect that, over time, distorts our view of the world. You'll hear about a simple way to shift your habits that will almost effortlessly create more positive momentum in your life.    What You'll Learn: Noticing the input you're exposing yourself to (0:47) The lasting impact of negative media (1:47) How the media distorts our view of the world (2:31) A simple shift to create more positive momentum in your life (3:57) Journaling your way to a more joyful life (5:32)   Favorite Quotes: “There's so much negativity in the world, and it becomes really easy when you're starting to listen to that, to believe that you're seeing the entirety of truth, when, in fact, you really aren't. You're seeing something that's very jaded in one direction. It's sensational.” “I'm no longer consuming things that create negativity, fear, doubt, anxiety or worry that I'm not going to do anything about. Instead, I'm focusing my energy on positive things that move me forward, things that I care about, that I can actually take action on to do something good for the world. And the difference is astounding.” “A very simple shift you can make to get positive momentum in your life is to look at, what are the inputs, what are the relationships I have, and are those people actually breathing life into my life?” “When things become more divisive, when social media becomes louder, when the news really wants to sensationalize even more things, it can become really easy if you allow those things in your life to begin to believe that we are us versus them divided. That all these terrible things are happening in the world when you're missing all of the amazing things that are actually showing up on a day-to-day basis.”   Additional Resources:  Get clarity on where you are on your journey to career fulfillment, where you're headed, optional paths to get there, and the right next step to take.

You know that feeling when you're just stuck? Like you're trying to move forward, but something's holding you back? Many of us are unable to add more positive stuff to our lives because we're holding on to old baggage, old relationships, and expired energy. I was there, too, until I realized I was clinging to expired energy.

In this episode, I discuss why letting go is the first step to real growth, from relationships that weigh you down to habits that keep you stuck in the same place.

Let's talk about something that can completely change your life. I know it's a word thrown around a lot, but confidence is the fuel you need to move towards your dreams. It's the magnet that attracts all opportunities in life. I used to be the epitome of insecurity. I'd compare myself to others and question my worthiness. But something shifted. It was the decision to invest in myself and feed my mind with positivity and motivation. I started listening to motivational speakers while driving, turning my car into a mobile university. Les Brown, Jim Rohn, and Bob Proctor became my mentors. I realized that confidence isn't something you're born with but a muscle you build. It's about continuously stepping out of your comfort zone. Remember, building confidence takes time. There will be ups and downs, but stay committed. You're stronger than you think. Listen in to this week's episode as I share exactly how I became more confident, the opportunities that followed, and how you can do it, too!  Key Takeaways:  Intro (00:00) Using YouTube as a resource for motivation and learning (00:44) The "Unlock Your Greatness" live event in London (03:06) The concept of an "alter ego" and inner hero (05:03) How to build self-confidence (07:18) Personal experience of financial growth through coaching (08:16) Attract more abundance in your life (11:46) Take action and invest in yourself (12:49) Final thoughts (18:58) Additional Resources:

In this rerun episode, I share my incredible journey of living and training with Shaolin monks in Kunming, China, for a few months. As a huge Bruce Lee fan, I was inspired to learn Kung Fu from the legendary warrior monks and step out of my comfort zone for personal growth. Despite the initial challenges of an unfamiliar environment, I fully immersed myself in the Shaolin Temple lifestyle. The monks' dedication to their craft through repetition for hours each day was an inspiring life lesson. I also got to observe that: Repetition is the mother of skill - mastery comes through consistent practice Stepping out of your comfort zone leads to profound personal growth Saying yes to your divine purpose, marked in your heart, is the key to living with passion Self-love is the highest vibration you can operate from My time in China taught me to embrace being a beginner, let go of what no longer serves me, and prioritize self-love.

Pain is a universal language spoken fluently in every corner of the globe. It is the unwelcome guest who comes to our lives to steal our joy. In this episode, I want to challenge you to change your perception of pain. Start viewing it as the catalyst you need for growth. Pain should be our greatest motivator, not something we endure.

I often talk about the importance of solitude for personal growth, and I'm aware that I always insist we need to learn to be alone and not rely on others. But solitude alone is not enough.  We also need human connection because feeling fulfilled is about finding a balance. Of course, spending time alone is important for building a loving relationship with yourself. But we're emotional beings who thrive on connection with others.  I learned this while living in Dubai. I spent so much time alone that I started to feel drained and anxious. I was overworking myself, going from podcast to podcast, coaching session to coaching session, without any real connection.  This led to panic attacks and health issues like high blood pressure and fatigue. I'd forget what I was talking about mid-sentence and felt something was missing. My energy levels dropped, and I wasn't feeling truly positive.  When I reconnected with my family in Poland, I realized how important it is to have genuine interactions with others. But I also learned that I don't need to choose solitude over social interaction or vice versa.  The point is to find the right balance, and it's the key to maintaining mental clarity and emotional stability.  Join me for this week's episode as I talk about this balance that you can't achieve personal growth and well-being without.  Tune in!

When was the last time you were wronged, disappointed by someone, or taken advantage of? It's natural when something bad happens to us to want to lay blame.
