A few years ago, the Toronto band The Beaches were dropped from their record label at around the same time that the band's lead singer, Jordan Miller, was dumped by her boyfriend. After rallying around each other, The Beaches came out the other side with a life-changing hit, “Blame Brett,” which propelled them into the spotlight. What they didn't anticipate was the feeling of impostor syndrome that resulted from their fans putting them on a pedestal. Now, The Beaches are back with their follow-up album, “No Hard Feelings,” which embraces the messier sides of their lives. Jordan and Leandra Earl of The Beaches join Tom Power in studio to tell us about it.

In this episode of Life of And, Tiffany sits down with therapist, author, and podcaster Danielle Ireland for a conversation about growth, discomfort, and agency. Danielle shares how confidence is earned in hindsight by moving through what feels hard, plus the mindset shifts that help us tell the difference between being tired on a Wednesday and being out of alignment at a soul level. They explore the traps of external validation and people-pleasing, and how choosing values over ego can look like “editing” your life with truth and kindness.Tiffany and Danielle also talk about parenting for resilience (letting kids cross the threshold of discomfort), journaling as directed self-dialogue, what it means to be a “pollinator” versus a “jackhammer” in career seasons, setting boundaries without abandoning yourself, and simple ways to create community so growth doesn't have to feel lonely.For more from Tiffany, sign up for her newsletter: https://tiffany-sauder.mykajabi.com/TS-Newsletter-SubscribeWhat You'll LearnHow to distinguish temporary friction from signs you need to edit your commitmentsA values-first framework (truth × kindness) for saying clear yeses and noesSimple scripts to help kids (and adults) hold big feelings and build real confidenceConnect with Danielle:Website: https://danielleireland.com/The Don't Cut Your Own Bangs podcast: https://danielleireland.com/podcast/Wrestling a Walrus: A book for little people with big feelings: https://danielleireland.com/wrestling-a-walrusTreasured: A journal for unearthing you: https://danielleireland.com/journal Timestamps:(00:00) Intro(01:24) Danielle's transformative journey and career(02:20) The power of vulnerability and connection(03:56) Navigating personal and professional growth(06:41) Embracing change and overcoming fear(08:46) The role of therapy and self-discovery(11:05) Balancing achievement and authenticity(17:36) The importance of external validation(19:07) Navigating life's transitions(27:18) Ego vs. values-driven decisions(29:44) Understanding the common denominator in relationships(30:20) Commitment, clarity, and priorities(31:10) Discerning loyalty and discomfort(32:28) The importance of emotional awareness(34:35) Internal processes vs. external perceptions(37:41) Parenting and the threshold of discomfortCheck out the apps and sponsor of this episode:Created in partnership with Share Your Genius

I've been laughing at how quickly all my best-laid plans just kind of went sideways. I thought I had this trip with my dogs mapped out perfectly with the timing, the route, and the stops. But then, I encountered one little hiccup after another. A tire sensor acting up, late departures, and rolling into towns I didn't even plan to see. I somehow even ended up in a fancy hotel with two German shepherds in tow. None of it was what I pictured, but it actually turned out better. As frustrating as change can feel in the moment, I've found it brings unexpected gifts like extra time with loved ones, new confidence in my dogs (and myself), and the simple joy of realizing we can handle more than we think. That's what today's Wise Walk is all about. It's embracing the open road, giving gratitude for the surprises, and seeing how getting out of our comfort zone deepens our rhythm with ourselves and those we care about. Where in your life are you navigating the metaphorical open road? Is it requiring you to embrace change, embrace possibilities, and get resourceful because the unexpected is happening and you have to navigate that unexpectedness? As you ponder and reflect, are you gaining a deeper understanding of yourself and of others? What lessons are you learning as you navigate your open road, your journey, or how you want to move from point A to point B? Where in your life are you open to your own rhythm and open to the open road? When you get curveballs in life or a delay of game, can you give gratitude for how you embrace the change? Can you give gratitude for the possibilities that surface from that change? Can you see what's possible out of it and recognize that this was a blessing in disguise, not what you set out to do, not your original plan, but something even better? As you step outside your comfort zone and embrace the change and possibilities in front of you, are you giving gratitude for those unexpected blessings? Are you giving gratitude for how you rise to the level of your own expectations? Are you giving celebration and kudos to those around you who rise to the level of the expectations that you set? Where in your life are you giving gratitude and appreciation for how you are navigating and staying in rhythm and flow as you deepen your own experience? I'd love to hear where in your life you're giving gratitude and appreciation for how you're navigating and staying in rhythm and flow. I have so much to give gratitude for including you, this podcast, and our weekly Wise Walks.  Thank you for joining me, and I would love to hear what you took away from today's episode. Until next Thursday, keep your Stride On! In this episode: [02:14] My big lesson on this journey was the idea about embracing change and possibilities. I had intentions of leaving on a certain date, but I kept getting thrown curveballs. [03:08] I'm goal-oriented and having my plans changed was frustrating. In reality there was no reason that I couldn't pivot, and I got to spend extra quality time with my family. [04:35] The unexpected extra time that I got in St Augustine was really beautiful for me, my family, and my dogs. [05:45] I ended up stopping in Mobile, Alabama and staying at a very nice downtown hotel. I had some anxiety about the whole thing, but the dogs behaved perfectly. [07:39] I learned to embrace change when I'm in an environment that I didn't anticipate. The outcome was beautiful, and we were in a rhythm together. [08:36] This set us up with the idea of possibilities and being able to handle whatever was before us. [09:59] I also ended up connecting with a friend in Wichita Falls, Texas. It was an unexpected, awesome blessing to meet up with my friend on a road trip. [12:32] I had targeted destinations, but now I've learned it's better to go with the flow. [13:35] Embracing change and trying new things gets us out of our comfort zone. This expanded my understanding of myself and of my dogs and their capabilities. I have to give them more credit. [15:48] How often in our life can we embrace this mentality where we step out of our comfort zone and embrace change and then give gratitude for it? Memorable Quotes: “The best moments aren't the ones I planned. They're the ones that showed up when I finally stopped trying to control every detail.” - Mary Tess “I am gaining so much, and the dogs are gaining so much. We are gaining as a family unit by learning the rhythm of the road and learning what we're capable of while inviting transformation and going with the flow.” - Mary Tess “The rhythm of the road is a lot like the rhythm of life. It can be messy and unpredictable, but full of hidden gifts.” - Mary Tess Links and Resources: Mary Tess Rooney Email Heart Value Facebook | LinkedIn | Twitter | Instagram

#90: [Inside the Mind] Dr. Rick Sessinghaus: Resilience, Flow, Fear, and Harnessing the Dark Side In this powerful episode of The Scratch Golfer's Mindset Podcast, I sit down with Dr. Rick Sessinghaus—longtime mental coach to Collin Morikawa and one of the leading experts in golf psychology and flow state training.  We explore the often-overlooked layers of resilience, how to avoid complacency after success, and the tools to shift from fear to flow under pressure. Rick shares actionable strategies, cutting-edge technology insights, and practical routines you can apply both on and off the course to perform your best when it matters most. In this episode, you'll learn: Why resilience is just as important after success as it is after setbacks. The subtle difference between mental toughness and resilience—and why it matters. How to shift from a fear state to a flow state under pressure. The role of curiosity in replacing judgment and accelerating learning. How sensory triggers and breath work can prime you for peak performance. The measurable impact of technology on training focus and emotional regulation. Why outcome goals and process goals can—and should—work together. Get your pencils ready and start listening.  P.S. Curious to learn more about the results my clients are experiencing and what they say about working with me? Read more here. More About Rick Dr. Rick Sessinghaus is the Founder & CEO of Sessinghaus Performance Systems and Director of the FlowCode® Golf Academy. Holding a PhD in Applied Sports Psychology, Rick has been Collin Morikawa's mindset coach since Collin was eight—and continues to guide the two‑time major champion's mental game .  Working at top golf and corporate academies, Rick specializes in training flow states, resilience, and performance routines to help golfers and high performers thrive under pressure.

Mental toughness is overrated. Emotional regulation, self-awareness, and curiosity are more sustainable mental skills. Flow happens when your perceived skill matches the challenge. Fear arises when you perceive the challenge as greater than your ability—even when it's not. You can train flow state through breathwork, anchoring routines, and sensory cues like music, temperature, or feel. Reflection—done without judgment—is essential. Curiosity > criticism. Technology like FocusCalm and Mendi can now measure brainwave activity and train real-time focus. Cold plunges and challenges off the course build resilience you can bring onto the course. It's okay to care about outcome—but learn to measure success through your process. You're good enough. That self-belief is the filter that colors every golf shot. Key Quotes: Resilience isn't just about bouncing back—it's about staying focused when things go well too. Curiosity over critical—that's our mantra for post-shot routines. Flow follows focus. You must train your attention to stay present. You're already good enough. Most golfers don't need more skill—they need more belief. Cold plunges aren't about golf—but they teach you how to do hard things. That transfers. Don't just do a routine because your coach told you to—make sure it gets you calm, confident, and committed.

There is no guarantee on race day.  Anything can happen, no matter how perfect or imperfect your build was. In fact, one of our favorite race mantras is: "Show up and see what you've got," which acknowledges the fact that the only thing you can do on race day is your best. We all have race day energy, nerves, and—most of all—expectations. Sometimes we might be afraid to voice our goals out loud, for fear we will not meet them or they will weigh us down. In this episode, we dig into the art of managing and embracing expectations so they become a source of strength, not stress. We dive into how to make realistic race goals and  how to change them on the fly.  We talk about your athlete personality might be a part of the way you react to the lead up to a race or a disappointing performance.  There is a lot to unpack in this one!

Now is a great time to reflect on both personal milestones and business goals! Planning your priorities now can set you up for a strong finish to this year and prepare you for a successful start to 2026. Transitions and Emotional Awareness When your children start school or college, it can be emotionally intense as it reminds you how quickly time passes. Embracing the emotions of those moments can help you process change while you focus on other areas of life.  Planning Your Year-End Goals With roughly 85 working days left in the year, it is essential to define what you want to accomplish before this year comes to an end. You should also start thinking about next year.  Using Mind Maps Effectively Mind maps make it easier to translate abstract ideas into actionable steps. They can help you organize your ideas, set your priorities, and clarify your objectives. Mind mapping is a technique popularized by Tony Buzan that visually allows you to structure ideas around a central topic. Mapping your thoughts for the rest of this year and next will help you to identify your priorities and avoid distractions.  The 25-5 Rule Prioritization is the key. Identify your top 25 goals first, then select the five of your most critical objectives. Focus on those five, and deliberately avoid distractions from the remaining 20. That will ensure your energy goes toward what truly matters. Eric explains that even if the famous Warren Buffett story about this method is unverified, the principle of disciplined prioritization is still powerful. Action and Focus Once you have set your priorities, dedicate your energy to achieving your top goals. The rest of the year will go quickly, so focus on what matters most to determine your success, both personally and professionally. Preparing now will set the stage for a productive and fulfilling year-end and a strong start to 2026.
