In today's episode, I'm sharing a replay of a conversation I had two years ago with Alex Freeman on the UpFlip podcast. When that interview first aired, it quickly became one of the most significant entry points into my world. For several months afterward, people were reaching out to me saying they had discovered my work through that interview. Many told me they had listened to the episode multiple times, taken notes on it, journaled about it, and even meditated on the ideas we discussed. As I listened back to that conversation recently, I realized something important. Every answer I gave in that interview still reflects exactly how I think today. Nothing about my perspective has changed. If anything, the principles we discussed have only been reinforced through my experience since then. In this episode, Alex and I explored one central theme: the invisible force behind business success. That force is mindset. The beliefs you hold about what is possible, what you deserve, what value you bring, and how the world works will ultimately shape every action you take and every result you experience. What follows are the core insights from our conversation. Insights From This Episode Success in business is far less about tactics and far more about mindset. Many entrepreneurs believe the key to success lies in strategies, marketing systems, funnels, or technical knowledge. While those things can be helpful, they are not the true determining factor. In my experience, success in business is about 20 percent knowing what to do and 80 percent mindset. Mindset is the collection of beliefs that determine how you interpret the world. These beliefs influence how you think, how you feel, the actions you take, and ultimately the results you produce. Every belief carries consequences. If you believe something to be true, your subconscious mind will work to create experiences that align with that belief. Most of our beliefs were formed very early in life. Many of them were established before we even developed the ability to critically evaluate what we were being told. Messages from parents, teachers, religious leaders, peers, media, and culture often shaped our beliefs about money, work, success, and possibility. Many of those beliefs remain active decades later, often operating beneath our awareness. One of the most powerful distinctions in business is the difference between an employee mindset and a business mindset. An employee mindset tends to associate income with time spent working. A business mindset understands that people pay for value and transformation rather than time. When entrepreneurs fully adopt the belief that value determines income, their approach to business begins to change dramatically. A growth mindset is essential for entrepreneurship. A fixed mindset assumes that talents, abilities, and intelligence are largely predetermined. A growth mindset recognizes that skills can be learned, expanded, and developed through effort, curiosity, and practice. Entrepreneurs must continually adapt, learn new skills, and evolve their thinking. Without a growth mindset, it becomes extremely difficult to navigate the changing landscape of business. Many of the statistics surrounding business failure can be traced back to mindset. A large percentage of businesses fail within their first few years. While there are many surface-level explanations for this, I believe the deeper cause often lies in limiting beliefs, fear, and an inability to adapt one's thinking when circumstances change. There are several clear signs that someone's mindset may be limiting their business growth. One of the most obvious indicators is chronic stress and overwhelm whenever unexpected situations arise. Another indicator is inconsistent profitability over time. When entrepreneurs constantly feel reactive, anxious, or uncertain, it often points to underlying beliefs that need to be examined. Mindset can be revealed through simple questions. I often ask people questions such as: What outcome do you want that you are not currently experiencing? Do you believe it is possible? What actions could move you closer to that outcome? Why haven't those actions already been taken? Questions like these often expose the beliefs that are quietly shaping someone's behavior. Once limiting beliefs are identified, they can be replaced. The process involves identifying the belief, discovering where it came from, evaluating whether it is actually true, and intentionally replacing it with a more empowering belief. Repetition and environment play a major role in reinforcing new beliefs. Many people attempt to change their beliefs through affirmations alone. Affirmations can be powerful, but they only work when they are aligned with deeper subconscious beliefs. If a person repeats a statement that their subconscious mind rejects, the affirmation will have little impact. Real mindset change requires addressing the underlying belief structures that already exist. One of the fastest ways to shift your thinking is through exposure to new perspectives. Books, courses, coaching, and mentorship can introduce ideas that challenge long-held assumptions. When new insights are repeated and reinforced, they can begin to reshape the way we interpret the world. The mastermind principle is one of the most powerful tools for expanding mindset. When two or more people come together in a spirit of collaboration and shared intention, they can generate insights that no individual could produce alone. A well-structured mastermind environment exposes participants to new ideas, new possibilities, and new ways of thinking. The quality of your peer group has a profound impact on your mindset. The expectations of the people around you will influence what you believe is possible for your own life and business. Surrounding yourself with individuals who are growing, learning, and expanding their thinking can accelerate your own growth dramatically. Successful entrepreneurs also tend to share several daily habits. Many invest time in reading and studying for insight rather than simply looking for information they already agree with. They journal and reflect on their experiences. They prioritize physical health, rest, and mental clarity. They deliberately manage the information they consume, avoiding excessive negativity from media and other external sources. Setbacks and unexpected outcomes are inevitable in business. The difference lies in how they are interpreted. A success-oriented mindset sees setbacks as temporary and instructive. Each obstacle becomes an opportunity to refine the approach and develop a more effective plan moving forward. Perhaps the most important takeaway from this entire conversation is this: all beliefs have consequences. The beliefs you hold will shape your perception of opportunities, influence the actions you take, and ultimately determine the results you experience in business and in life. If you change your beliefs, you change your trajectory. Next Level Mastermind One of the most powerful ways to expand your mindset and accelerate your progress is to surround yourself with the right peer group. Since November 2017, I have been facilitating the Next Level Mastermind. This is a small group of service-focused entrepreneurs who are committed to growing their businesses while cultivating a powerful and positive mindset. Each week we come together for focused conversations where members bring their insights, experience, skills, and creativity to help one another navigate challenges and pursue ambitious goals. As the facilitator, I am there not only to guide the conversation but also to mentor and coach each member along their journey. If you resonate with the ideas in this episode and would value being part of a group that is deeply committed to growth, contribution, and transformation, I would love to explore that possibility with you.

As the body softens and awareness moves inward, each affirmation invites greater permission to feel, express, and trust your inner voice.Designed for evening listening, this practice helps settle the nervous system so you can slowly drift into rest while strengthening your connection to the voice of your heart.Return to this practice anytime you need grounding, emotional clarity, or a peaceful transition into sleep.

Confidence is everywhere right now. It's in affirmations, vision boards, therapy sessions, and motivational quotes. But none of that means anything if you haven't built proof that you can actually do hard things. In this Habits & Hustle episode, we get into why confidence can't be affirmed, it has to be earned, and why fitness builds confidence faster than therapy. I break down how real self-belief is built through reps, discipline, and physical evidence, not just positive self-talk. We also talk about why boring is what actually works and the power of “do it anyway” when motivation disappears. If you're ready to stop consuming confidence content and start building it, tune in. What's Discussed (02:25) Why intense workouts spike hunger and quietly sabotage fat loss (04:32) How strict meal timing reduces food noise and overeating (06:59) Why people gain weight in happy relationships (08:47) GLP-1 drugs and the role of “food noise” in weight control (11:40) Why severe calorie restriction backfires and slows metabolism (15:34) Why fitness builds confidence faster than therapy (16:42) Confidence is earned through hard reps, not affirmations (22:29) Why boring daily discipline is the real success strategy Thank you to our sponsors: Rho Nutrition: Try Rho Nutrition today and experience the difference of Liposomal Technology.

[Season 7, Episode 100] I'm so excited to celebrate our 100th episode! We're adjusting the way we're numbering our episodes to show the progress this show has made. I want to thank you for your support over the years, as I started this podcast during COVID so that people would have support in their thinking with all the negativity that was prevalent. I never knew that God would bring us to a point where we have almost 350k downloads, which are not just stats...the stats represent people. They are lives that prayerfully have been positively impacted. And I praise God for that! Thank you Jesus!When I prayed about what this 100th episode should be about, God shared the topic "I have already WON." God is reminding you today that you are more than a conqueror, you have already won, simply because He has gone before you and made a way for you. The WORD that He spoke over your life cannot return void.Continue to listen to His Word, and continue to take Him at His Word. He has caused you to succeed and you have already won. Support the showIf you enjoyed this episode, rate this podcast and subscribe!

It's Friday. Pause for a breath you didn't know you were holding. Exhale.This week's Soft Landings affirmation is for the woman who keeps mistaking her patterns for her personality. For every midlife woman who's been fighting the thing she does instead of getting curious about why she does it.Today's Affirmation: "My patterns kept me safe. I get to thank them and want something different."The thing you keep doing – the overfunctioning, the over-explaining, the keeping yourself small, the white-knuckling your independence, whatever yours is – it wasn't a mistake. It was a solution. A really smart one, for circumstances that once required exactly that response.It kept you safe. It kept you steady. It did its job.The problem isn't that you're broken. The problem is that the pattern is still running the same programme for a situation that no longer exists. Like a smoke alarm going off because you forgot your bagel in the toaster.So today, instead of fighting it or shaming it or trying to think your way out of it – what if you just said thank you? Thank you for protecting me when I needed protecting. I'm okay now. You can rest.You don't have to dismantle a pattern to be free of it. Sometimes you just need to stop treating it like an enemy and start treating it like a part of you that was doing its best with what it had.That's not giving up. That's actually where the shift begins.Save. Share. Come back when you need the reminder.

⚠️Trigger Warning: This episode discusses past abusive relationships, stalking/harassment by an ex-partner, trauma recovery, family estrangement, and mental health topics including anxiety and OCD. Please listen with care and take breaks if needed.In this episode of The Neurodivergent Creative, Caitlin shares how romance novels have unexpectedly helped her heal from relationship trauma and emotional abuse.March marks the anniversary of leaving an abusive marriage, which brings up a lot of memories and emotional triggers. But instead of viewing healing as a straight line, or assuming that getting triggered means you're back at the beginning, Caitlin introduces a powerful idea: Healing is a spiral staircase.You may encounter the same triggers again and again, but you are meeting them from a different place each time.This episode explores how trauma healing unfolds in layers, how safe relationships can help rewire the nervous system, and how romance novels can model communication, repair, and emotional safety in ways many of us never experienced growing up.What We Explore in This Episode:Trauma healing and the spiral staircase metaphorWhy triggers changing over time is actually evidence of healingLeaving an abusive marriage and rebuilding safetyThe role of romance novels in reshaping beliefs about love, repair, and communicationHow fiction can model safe relationships when real life didn'tThe emotional power of dual POV romance and seeing care from both sidesQueer identity, bisexual visibility, and romance representationLearning to communicate needs in a healthy relationship after emotional abuseWhy “use your words” can feel revolutionary when you've been trained not toReflection QuestionsWhere in your life are you assuming that being triggered means you're “back at the beginning”?What would change if you viewed your healing as a spiral instead of a straight line?Are there stories, books, or characters helping you imagine safer ways of being loved?What small communication need have you been sitting on because part of you still expects punishment?

Ep. 238 Returning to yourself isn't a one-time moment. It's a lifelong practice. In the final installment of the Return to Self series, Maryann Rivera-Dannert explores one of the most important tools for protecting your healing: healthy boundaries. Many women are conditioned to equate love with self-sacrifice, but boundaries are not about controlling others—they are about protecting your peace, energy, and authenticity. In this episode, Maryann shares how boundaries reveal the health of our relationships, prevent resentment, and help us stay aligned with the woman we are becoming. Key Takeaways: • Boundaries protect your emotional well-being and healing • Resentment grows where boundaries are missing • Societal conditioning often teaches women to abandon themselves • Boundaries help you manage your emotional energy • Internal boundaries are just as important as the ones we set with others

This bonus episode is another guided meditation from inside The Regulated Woman. (See Episode 174 and Episode 177 for the previous phase meditations.)This one is designed specifically for your ovulatory phase… your season of peak energy, confidence, charisma, and connection.Instead of a traditional seated meditation, this is a walking meditation, created to match the naturally elevated, outward-facing energy of ovulation. During this phase, your vitality is higher, your communication is clearer, and your presence is magnetic. This practice helps you harness that energy while staying grounded, steady, and fully connected to yourself.Strap on your tennis shoes, step outside (or hop on a treadmill), and let your movement mirror the power already rising within you.TOPICS WE EXPLORE: • Matching meditation style to your cycle (movement vs. stillness) • Grounding high energy so it feels powerful, not scattered • Walking as a tool for nervous system regulation • Affirmations that anchor strength, opportunity, and self-trustPOINT OF THE EPISODE:Ovulation isn't about pushing harder… it's about embodying what's already there. This walking meditation helps you channel your natural vitality, confidence, and social strength in a grounded way so you can show up powerfully without disconnecting from yourself.MENTIONED:•Her Rhythms — a program inside The Regulated Woman • Episode 174: [Bonus Episode] Menstrual Phase Meditation • Episode 177: [Bonus Episode] Follicular Phase MeditationAre you loving it?

You'll never reach it. —Salvador DaliChapters0:27 Embracing Imperfection10:37 Affirmations for Self-Compassion14:59 The Pursuit of Wisdom Over PerfectionSummaryIn this episode of the Anxiety Coaches Podcast, we delve into the concept of wabi-sabi, exploring how embracing imperfection can help alleviate the pressure of striving for perfection. The discussion begins with a reflection on the increasing societal demand for perfection, which can manifest as anxiety and feelings of inadequacy within us. We draw parallels to the music industry, where many artists are gravitating towards the raw authenticity of analog sounds versus the polished finish of digital production. This longing for imperfection invites us to question whether our pursuit of flawlessness is truly beneficial.The conversation encourages listeners to shift their perspective on imperfection, viewing it not as a failing but as a natural part of the journey of self-improvement. It posits that by letting go of the unattainable goal of perfection, we can open the door to self-acceptance and appreciate our experiences as ongoing, evolving processes. Our minds are profoundly shaped by our thoughts and where we choose to focus our attention, suggesting that by embracing imperfection, we can foster a more forgiving inner landscape.I emphasize the relief that can come from giving ourselves permission to simply be ourselves without the weight of perfectionism. The episode provides practical tips on recognizing our limits and establishing boundaries to support our mental health and well-being. It's crucial to incorporate self-care into our daily routines rather than sidelining our health for the sake of achieving more. By identifying our thresholds and maintaining those boundaries, we foster an environment in which we can thrive without succumbing to the pressure of needing to achieve perfection.#WabiSabi, #AnxietyRelief, #Mindfulness, #EmbraceImperfection, #MentalHealthMatters, #SelfLove, #SelfCare, #PersonalGrowth, #Perfectionism, #WellnessJourney, #PositiveAffirmations, #InnerPeace, #StressManagement, #MentalWellness, #SelfCompassion, #JapaneseWisdom, #Healing, #Authenticity, #GrowthMindset, #GraceAndGratitude, #AnxietyCoachesPodcast, #NervousSystemRegulation, #VagusNerve, #CalmMind, #OvercomingAnxiety, #PanicAttackRecovery, #MentalHealthAwareness, #EndTheStigma, #EmotionalWellness, #SelfHealing, #InnerCalm, #AnxietyWarrior, #Breathe #Gina Ryan #ACPSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

When observing comic books, the miracles come in big or small ways. This week on the podcast, we're discussing a resurrection we previously thought unimaginable. Stephen R Bissette, who gained legendary status working on titles like Saga of the Swamp Thing, crafted his masterpiece in the mid-nineties. Tyrant was meant to run fifty issues or more, but only four saw print before disaster struck the industry, and Bissette pulled up stakes, leaving comics to focus on family and a more financially stable situation. We've spent years searching for Tyrant in the dollar bins, picking up an issue here and there. As much as we love Bissette's work on Swamp Thing, Tyrant represents the artist at his purest, most thematically forward. Even at four issues, Tyrant is a masterpiece, expressing the agony and beauty of life, as we follow a Tyrannosaurus Rex from conception to birth. It's easy to mourn the story we did not get, but we must also celebrate the story we did. It is enough, and thankfully, we're not the only ones who thought so. Chris Stevens, of the newly formed Lighthouse Press, convinced Bissette that now was the time to re-release Tyrant in both a Complete Edition and a Deluxe Artist Edition. Stevens also hired cartoonist Jim Rugg (who recently shot a Stacks video with us) to oversee the production of these new additions. Together, they'll hopefully bring a massive new readership to Tyrant and give this lost masterpiece the recognition it never got. We're extremely happy to have Stephen R Bissette, Jim Rugg, and Chris Stevens on the podcast this week. Together, we place Tyrant in the context of its creation and explore why now is the time for its resurrection. We discuss the themes Bissette excavates in Tyrant and where the story was going before he had to pull the plug. We also discuss the heartbreak of pulling the plug and all the humanity within and without its pages. The 90s comic book scene. You had to be there. The Image Revolution. Pouches. Rob Liefeld and Spike Lee making Levi's commercials together. The Death of Superman was going to pay Brad's way into college somehow. The distribution implosion. The speculator flight. Devastation. Apocalypse. Something our earthbound dinosaurs also understood quite well. Please recognize the miracle that is Tyrant's resurrection by visiting the Lighthouse Press Kickstarter page and signing up for notification of its official launch.

Is calm something you have to earn, or is it already waiting for you beneath the noise of the day? In today's episode of the Daily Meditation Podcast, we dive into a restorative 10-minute practice centered on the theme of Rest for the Day. As we navigate our busy lives, we often treat peace as a finish line we only reach once our to-do list is empty. Today, we shift that perspective. Through a focused guided meditation and the powerful affirmation, "Calm is my natural state," you will learn to set down the day's momentum and return to your internal baseline of stillness. This is day 2 of a 7-day meditation series, "10-minutes of Calm: Meditations to Deal with the Uncertainty of Daily Life"  episodes 3472-3478. ABOUT THIS WEEK'S SERIES Welcome to 10-Minute Calm—a gentle daily meditation series created to help you feel steadier, clearer, and more at ease in just ten minutes. Each episode is simple, warm, and practical—designed for real life on busy days, anxious days, and emotionally full days. Through a supportive weekly arc—Release, Rest, Ground, Protect, Nurture, Balance, and Embody—you'll practice calming techniques you can return to anytime, including breathwork, affirmations, mudras, chakra focus, visualization, and a weekly review. You don't have to force relaxation or "fix" anything—this series is about building the skill of coming back to calm, one breath at a time. THIS WEEK'S CHALLENGE - The Calm Creator Challenge For the next 7 days, choose one tiny "carry cue" from each episode (a phrase, one slow exhale, shoulder drop, hand-to-heart, etc.) and practice it three times a day—morning, mid-day, and evening. The goal isn't to stay calm all day; it's to build the habit of returning to calm in real life. THIS WEEK'S MEDITATION JOURNEY  Day 1:  VISUALIZATION: Emotional Release Day 2:  AFFIRMATION: "Calm is my natural state." Day 3:  EXTENDED EXHALE BREATH: Inhale 4, exhale 6 (or 4/7 if comfortable) for 8–10 rounds. Day 4:  PRITHVI MUDRA (Earth Mudra) Touch ring fingertip to thumb tip, other fingers relaxed.

Hal shares the story behind his life-changing morning routine and how the S.A.V.E.R.S. method — Silence, Affirmations, Visualization, Exercise, Reading, and Scribing — has helped millions take control of their days before the world takes control of them. We also dive into his personal journey of overcoming a near-fatal car accident and a battle with cancer, and how those experiences shaped his philosophy on resilience, emotional responsibility, and choosing faith over fear.
