“Most people think they have an open mind, but in my experience, their mind is only open as far as their belief structure allows”. In part 2 of sharing my journey with spirituality I explore 10 ways you can explore a deeper level of consciousness and awareness from my experience and research. How we need to challenge the perspective we have of how open our minds are, how far you can go to change who you are from this journey, vital tools to use in this journey. The #1 book I'd recommend if you're unsure, what I continue to do on this journey to facilitate my growth as a human, and my 3 favourite quips from this journey.  The #1 book I recommended: The Peaceful Warrior by Dan Millman: https://amzn.to/3zKaluO  Download the Awesome Human Blueprint: https://www.bencoomber.com/The-Awesome-Human-Blueprint-by-Ben-Coomber  Visit Awesome Supplement at awesomesupplements.com and use the code AH15 for 15% off Follow me: Instagram: @bencoomber X: @bencoomber Facebook: Ben Coomber LinkedIn: Ben Coomber  Subscribe on YouTube: The Awesome Human Go be an Awesome Human.

She shares how a single Spartan race sparked her passion and led to a journey of growth through consistency, resilience, and facing discomfort head-on.Rachel dives deep into how mental toughness is often a matter of showing up and pushing through negative self-talk. She recommends practices like journaling to process emotions, clear the mind, and stay mission-focused. Whether it's embracing the grind with a killer workout playlist or finding the mental clarity of running without distractions, Rachel emphasizes the power of habits and positive routines.Rachel also opens up about her personal battles, including overcoming bulimia, and how that struggle reshaped her mindset for success. Her story serves as a reminder that overcoming adversity is a choice, and those choices build the warrior's mindset. She drops valuable advice on the importance of self-reflection, learning from setbacks, and being intentional with your goals—key traits for any SOF candidate. If you're serious about growth, Rachel's insights on accountability, staying motivated during tough moments, and tackling life's obstacles will resonate with you.

Thank you for joining us on this journey toward knowledge and healing. Last week's episode was so rich and foundational to understanding Theology of the Body we decided to do an even deeper dive on the subject of Theology of Original Innocence. In this show the team discusses the thesis statement of Theology of the Body as well as key topics like; Adam and Eve first came as brother & sister in the same humanity, why intimate relationships seem like a task at times and many more.

We are excited to be back after our short summer break and we are picking up right where we left off. Have you ever had experiences in your life that would be characterized as "awesome"? In today's show the team discusses St. John Paul II's audience on the topic of "Theology of Original Innocence. Original innocence is the time Adam and Eve spent before original sin. Listen in as Adele, Becki and Tom share how JP II uses Adam and Eve's experiences, before the fall, as a way to show what God has in store for his greatest creation.

So many people are bored with their life. Life feels the same. Life feels flat. Life feels like it's just not moving in the way you want it to. You might even be feeling really stuck, and have no idea where to start.  This is the journey of the Awesome Human. You are a human, and we must evolve, we must grow, we must follow our hearts in all that we do. We live in a world where most people are leading with logic and their brain, wrapped in the expectations of their parents, friends, and the world at large. This leads to unhappiness over time, because we are not connected to our truth. We are not honouring WHO we are.  In this show I get deep, fast, and you need to be ready to challenge everything you know to be true. Otherwise you will never set yourself free. But I'll end by giving you an 8 step battle plan on how to reignite the fire in all areas of your life.  The 8 Step battle plan:  Get rid of any negative or unsupportive people in your life, or at least learn how to distance yourself from them so their impact in minimal  Start to spend more time in silence, without the noise of social media, of podcasts, of external education. It's time to start to develop yourself from the inside out, not from the outside in, you can only listen to your truth, by listening to it. Watch less TV. Drive in silence more. Go on walks without your phone. Spend time meditating. Start to truly connect to yourself.  Get all of your physiological baselines catered for, which was the theme of my last show. Make sure you are sleeping well, eating well and moving well so you can set yourself to feeling good.  Remove anything that you rely on as a crutch. Remove alcohol. Remove drugs. Reduce your caffeine intake if you know it's excessive. Remove porn. Anything you lean on for self-care, we need to spend time without it to really lean into the uncomfort, and start to deal with it, rather than papering over it.  Write down what you dislike in your life right now, and be brave and honest. That might be your job, it might even be your partner. Honour that feeling, then write next to it the action that would lead to the solution. This stuff is going to need you to be brave, develop some long term strategies, and start to take action.  Write down a list of all the things that you love and bring you job, and how you can do more of these things / what's getting in the way of you doing more of these things  Get into breathwork, this is the single best thing I have done in the last 18 months. Go find a wim hof ½ day fundamentals course, learn about it, and start to invest in the power of the breath and intentions you have in your life. And over time learn how to be heart led, not head led, and really feel the transformative power of the breath.  Find your new tribe. What group or coach or friend can aid you on this path, and work together to achieve your vision. I have friends and coaches and mentors that all help me with this stuff, this isn't a solo journey, don't think you have to walk it alone.  Links Website: https://www.bencoomber.com/ Download The Awesome Human Blueprint:  https://www.bencoomber.com/The-Awesome-Human-Blueprint-by-Ben-Coomber

Welcome to the What's Next! podcast with Tiffani Bova. We were lucky to find the awesome human Nataly Kogan and invite her on the What's Next! Podcast to discuss emotional fitness and how to find inner happiness. She is the author of multiple books, most recently The Awesome Human Project: Break Free from Daily Burnout, Struggle Less, and Thrive More in Work and Life which helps people learn how to rest and feel more joy. A leading expert on emotional fitness, Nataly Kogan is an entrepreneur, best-selling author, and keynote speaker on a mission to help millions of people struggle less and thrive more in work and life. Nataly immigrated to the US as a refugee from the former Soviet Union when she was 13 years old. Starting her American life in the projects and on welfare, she went on to reach the highest levels of corporate and startup success. But after years of chasing a non-existent state of nirvana she suffered a debilitating burnout that led her to find a new way to live and work. Today, she helps Awesome Humans live and work with more connection, joy, and meaning by sharing her science-backed skills and practices.   THIS EPISODE IS PERFECT FOR…  all levels of workers that are suffering from unprecedented levels of burnout and are seeking a means to break free from the cycle.   TODAY'S MAIN MESSAGE… The best way to learn how to care about others is to first learn how to care for yourself. But sometimes our brain is hardwired for uncertainty, so we must become the editor of our own thoughts and have the mindset for self-compassion. That means learning to take a break for a restorative rest so we can focus on what's truly meaningful to us.   WHAT I LOVE MOST… Nataly's core belief is that we are all awesome humans who have goals and purpose and meaning in their lives. But also, some days we don't have that awesomeness and we are just human – that's okay too.     Running time: 31:02   Subscribe on iTunes     Find Tiffani on social: Facebook Twitter LinkedIn   Find Nataly online: Official Website Twitter LinkedIn   Nataly's Book: The Awesome Human Project: Break Free from Daily Burnout, Struggle Less, and Thrive More in Work and Life

In today's episode, we cover being an awesome human with Nataly Kogan. Nataly is a former writer for Verywell Mind, the co-founder and CEO of Happier, a leading wellness company on a mission to make millions of people happier, and the author of The Awesome Human Project. Burnout can be a deadly trap you don't recognize until the damage is done, so what can you do to avoid it (and still be successful), how does perfectionism make it worse, and how do you find your “why” so you can push through tough times and criticism?  What to Listen ForIntroduction – 0:00What are some obvious signs of burnout?What is the biggest lie entrepreneurs and leaders tell themselves to keep pushing through burn out? Be an Awesome Human – 12:47 How do you edit your thoughts to help you be the best version of yourself?What two questions can you ask yourself to edit your thoughts and stop your mind from sabotaging your work, relationships, and goals?What does it mean to treat yourself with compassion and why do we ALL need to treat ourselves with more compassion? Perfectionism is the Enemy of Completion – 31:00 How can you reframe perfectionism so it doesn't stop you from finishing what you start and putting your work out there for others to enjoy?Why is it detrimental to your success to value every piece of criticism you receive? Find your “why” and flourish in any job – 41:31 Why is it important to know your “why” when it comes to long term success and fulfillment in any line of work?What is emotional fitness, why is it just as important as physical fitness, and how do you develop it? It's easy to undervalue our physical and mental needs when pursuing ambitious goals. You can get lost in devoting countless hours to building a company and push aside physical exercise because it takes time away from the company. You can get lost in spending all of your free time at the gym and push aside quality sleep because “sleep is for the weak.” But we tend to forget the only reason we can do any of these things is because we have one precious life to work with.  A Word From Our SponsorsDo you LOVE the toolbox episodes?
