Many high achievers treat vulnerability as if it's a four-letter word. And it's easy to understand why: they've been told leaders must keep their emotions in check, and be level-headed and strong in the face of challenges.

Because they lead to people going numb to their feelings and relationships, all while convincing themselves they're doing the right thing. In this episode I'm going to cut through the fog and show you what vulnerability really looks like. I'll explain how vulnerability isn't weakness. It's the missing piece that can restore your ability to lead at work, love at home, and actually live your life instead of watching it go by.

Almost everything you've learned about emotional “strength” is not only a flat-out lie, but completely backwards. Toughing it out, staying in control, never letting others see you sweat - these aren't signs of emotional strength, but emotional blindness.  And emotional blindness comes with a steep cost that nobody deserves to pay: It leaves you empty, unfulfilled (even after milestone achievements), and depressed.  Why?  Because the old way of being emotionally strong is really fear in disguise. And fear is the ultimate mind-killer.  That's the bad news.  The good news? Once you realize that emotions are not distractions and are, in fact, the very point of life itself, then you can approach emotional regulation like the skill it is. And skills can be mastered - as long as you're open to the idea.  In today's show, besides debunking the outdated emotional strength myth, you'll also discover the true cost of emotional blindness and how to reconnect with your emotional world before it's too late.  Listen now.  Show Highlights Include: A brutal, real-life story that shows you the devastating cost of emotional blindness (and how it almost cost me my life) (1:37)  How “toughing out” your negative emotions eviscerates your joy, your relationships, and even your ability to love and be loved (6:52)  3 telltale nervous system signs that happen when you receive a snarky text that will tell you whether you're actually emotionally strong… or just emotionally blind (9:21)  The “Emotional Regulation” technique used by the world's most elite athletes that regulates your emotional system instead of being hijacked by it (11:19)  Why thinking of your emotions as distractions is the quickest way to feel so hollow that nothing can fill the void (not even career success, marriage, or becoming a millionaire) (17:27)  The underlying emotional reason behind why you micromanage your team (and how to address your emotions before your entire team quits) (23:27)  The simple, yet difficult 3-step process to finally stop reacting to and running away from your emotions (it will take time and patience, but nothing you achieve in life will be as meaningful as mastering this) (24:40)  For more about David Tian, go here: https://www.davidtianphd.com/about/    Want more success in leadership, deeper connections, or a greater sense of fulfillment?

It's because there is only one of us and we're all connected.”“We don't forgive for the other one – you do it for you.”“How can you lead and still manage the changes, pressure and uncertainty? We need to understand that like the seasons, change is a cycle. Uncertainty is being in the world of constant adaptation.”“The masculine energy is the structure and the feminine energy is the flow. We need to have both.”“The foundation of leadership is 4 pillars: lead yourself, lead others, emotional mastery, and self-care.”“Vulnerability means bringing back the humanness which is part of us.”“Everybody can lead themselves.”Here are the 3 Takeaways:Leading ourselves is very helpful when we are faced with new opportunities. Key is not listening to anybody who says “You're going to fail!” Emotional mastery is about our ability to keep going even when triggered and strong emotions are coming up. There are actions we can take: stop the conversation, don't engage with the emotions (doesn't mean it's not happening or stuffing the emotion down). You can park the emotion and come back to it. The emotions that come up (shame, anger, etc.) and the story we tell ourselves go together. We need to process the story we have (i.e. “not good enough”…) so the emotions don't build on each other and become bigger. There are layers to process the emotions and taking full responsibility for our emotions. One way to do this is with reflection: “What happened today in my interactions with others?” “What was the trigger?” “Where is the root of that?” Because we are all connected so when forgiving someone, we're forgiving ourselves, and forgiving the whole. If we understand that, processing can go faster. And gratitude is the same. Offer Mentioned:Free leadership quiz, free activationhttps://www.ellips.us.com/offersWays to contact with Valarie:Website: https://www.ellips.us.com/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/valeriesandjivy/https://www.facebook.com/valarie.sandjivyhttps://www.instagram.com/valarie_sandjivy/Podcast: In Between Higher Self Leadershiphttps://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/higher-self-leadership-in-between/id1801744962Ways to reach Yo:eMail yo@yocanny.com Website: https://girltaketheleadpod.comOnline Store:https://girltaketheleadpod.com/shop Public FB group: Girl, Take the Lead!https://www.facebook.com/groups/272025931481748/?ref=share IG:https://www.instagram.com/yocannyLinkedIn:https://www.linkedin.com/in/yocanny/Pinterest:yo@yocanny.comYouTube:@girltakethelead

High performers often excel in their careers but struggle silently with emotional regulation, strained relationships, and a constant feeling of disconnection. In this episode, neuro-emotional intelligence expert Leila Entezam breaks down why these patterns are so common—and what to do about them.From misunderstood communication styles to the hidden costs of efficiency, Leila shares powerful insights from her work with elite performers, along with practical tools to build emotional mastery without sacrificing ambition. Topics include imposter syndrome, attachment patterns, self-awareness, and redefining balance.Whether you've been called a narcissist, feel stuck in surface-level relationships, or just want to deepen your inner work, this conversation will shift your perspective and challenge how you define peak performance.

In this robust conversation, Yosi Kossowsky shares his journey from engineering to executive leadership, revealing the critical gap in traditional education regarding understanding people. He opens up about his growth path—diving deep into emotional wellness, therapy, limiting beliefs, and the neuroscience behind human behavior. Yosi challenges the long-held notion that humans are primarily rational beings, showing how emotions drive decisions and actions more than we often realize. Decoding Communication and Team Dynamics Yosi and I unpack how perception and communication are filtered through our personal experiences—and how those filters can cause serious disconnects in teams. I share a common leadership trap: asking “any questions?” in meetings and wondering why no one speaks up. It turns out that psychological safety and peer pressure play significant roles. Together, we emphasize that leadership today must involve creating a culture where understanding, clear communication, and cross-functional respect are non-negotiable. Navigating Change: AI, the Pandemic & the Modern Workplace We dive into the disruptive forces shaping our workplaces—AI, remote work, and the lingering impacts of the pandemic. Yosi and I discuss many organizations' struggles in adapting to these shifts, especially with employee engagement, turnover, and generational gaps. Yosi calls for more innovative strategies and deeper support systems to meet today's evolving demands. I also flag a growing concern: how AI could economically destabilize regions dependent on virtual assistant roles if we don't plan thoughtfully. Emotional Mastery as a Leadership Tool We explore what it takes to manage your emotions in high-stress situations. I introduce one of my favorite leadership tools—the “feeling wheel,” which helps leaders identify emotions beyond just “angry” or “sad.” It's about using the right emotional tool for the job, not just muscling through—leaders who understand their feelings and why lead with more clarity, empathy, and purpose. Creating Human-Centered Workplaces Yosi and I spotlight emotional well-being at work—not as a perk, but as a performance driver. We discuss the urgent need for organizations to cultivate psychological safety, promote self-awareness, and provide authentic coaching, not just check-the-box solutions. It's time to normalize asking for help and talking about real challenges, because strong teams are built on open communication and mutual support.

Let's stop pretending this is just a problem for soldiers and politicians. The “human shields excuse” isn't just some abstract wartime tactic—it's the same twisted reasoning people use every day to justify hurting others, dodging accountability, or compromising their integrity.  It's what lets you blow up a relationship and blame the other person for making you do it. It's how you rationalize crossing a line—then sleep at night because technically, it wasn't your fault. In war, this excuse gets innocent people killed. In your life, it's killing your peace of mind, your self-respect, your trust in yourself. This might sound extreme. But if your success feels empty, if your relationships keep breaking down, if you're stuck in burnout with no idea why—you're probably making this excuse. Quietly. Repeatedly. And convincing yourself it's justified. This episode exposes this lie for what it is, and more importantly—how to stop living it. You'll discover the true cost of the “human shields excuse,” the subtle ways this shows up in your relationships and personal lives, and how to stop committing this fatal error, so you don't live the rest of your life wondering why your success feels so hollow.  Listen now.  Show Highlights Include: Why having a logical justification for blaming another person is a subtle trap that increases your suffering (and how to eliminate mental anguish without blaming others) (3:17)  How offloading responsibility from your shoulders is the same excuse war criminals use to justify killing women and kids (15:31)  The tragic result of spinning “good guy” stories in your head until you erode your self-trust and confidence completely (16:20)  Why short-term wins that hijack your moral compass cost you far more in the long-term - financially and emotionally (19:53)  A simple mindset shift that makes you look forward to taking responsibility (especially when it's hard) (23:32)  David Tian's list of recommended readings can be found here: https://davidtianphd.com/recommended-readings/ For more about David Tian, go here: https://www.davidtianphd.com/about/  Want more success in leadership, deeper connections, or a greater sense of fulfillment?

The Achiever's Curse is a deadly one. It starts subtle at first. But left unchecked long enough, it seeps into every aspect of your life, stealing joy and fulfillment every step of the way. Too many achievers don't realize this insidious curse until they feel the intense pangs of regret on their deathbed.  Far too late, in other words.  I want to help you avoid this terrible fate…  I have read well over 1,000 books in my life - spanning across psychology, philosophy, leadership, business, religion, spirituality, personal growth, and more. Most of them were interesting. A few of them were inspiring. But only a handful got me to think so deeply that they didn't just change my thinking, but changed how I live in the world.  In this episode, I share this odd collection of 12 life-altering books, to help you answer life's most difficult questions before it's too late to live your life in a completely different way.  Listen now.  Show Highlights Include: How the ambitious goals that require intense work ethic, study habits, and dedication also lead to misery and depression and even suicidal thoughts when they're unconsciously driven by this (1:43)  3 tough questions most people never ask themselves (and 12 recommended books that act like your map to answering these existential questions in a way that fulfills your soul) (2:52)  The insidious way avoiding death also means you avoid life (and one book that allows you to confront death, and thus, life) (4:40)  The “Anti-Permanent” plan for living life fully immersed in the moment instead of silently being controlled by fear, anxiety, and shame (9:55)  Why an obsession with productivity is a defense mechanism in disguise (most people realize this far too late when the pangs of regret are unbearable) (11:31)  The terrible trap of saving most people fall into that steals fulfillment from your life even when it's right in your hands (12:58)  A weird way to build quiet, immovable confidence by defining morality (14:46)  How the realization that meritocracy is a myth actually sets you up to finally quiet your subtle, but brutal toxic shame (29:22)  Why play can save a dying marriage from divorce, a business on the verge of bankruptcy, and a cloud of depression from following you for life (33:17)  David Tian's list of recommended readings can be found here: https://davidtianphd.com/recommended-readings/ For more about David Tian, go here: https://www.davidtianphd.com/about/  Want more success in leadership, deeper connections, or a greater sense of fulfillment?

Drawing from personal experience and therapeutic insight, Israa explains how asking “Why do I do the things I do?” can uncover hidden motivations, and why mastering your emotional state—not your schedule—is the real key to feeling fulfilled.➡️ Show Linkshttps://successstorypodcast.com YouTube: https://youtu.be/jfaionrhaOY Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/israa-nasir-psychotherapist-speaker-entrepreneur-reclaiming/id1484783544 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/episode/4PQ0Jqgrnt7sz4DXTY8JSP ➡️ Watch the Podcast on YouTubehttps://www.youtube.com/c/scottdclary See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

In this episode, Richard Alvin speaks with Sara Sabin, a transformational leadership coach, about the importance of emotional mastery and intuition in leadership.

I speak with Dr. Christian Conte, mental health specialist, author, and creator of Yield Theory—an approach to communication focused on reducing defensiveness. Dr. Conte has worked with people ranging from inmates in solitary confinement to elite athletes.What happens when we try to communicate with someone who's defensive? Dr. Conte's Yield Theory offers insights for navigating difficult conversations, especially with adolescents and young adults.Dr. Conte explains that meeting people where they are isn't just a nice sentiment—it's the only effective way to communicate. Using the metaphor of a "fool on the mountain" who yells down instructions that can't be heard, he illustrates why we must first join others where they stand.We explore key elements of Yield Theory: humility, curiosity, and non-attachment to beliefs. Dr. Conte describes his three-step approach—listen, validate, explore options—and why it works even in challenging settings.We delve into parenting applications, including how to set firm boundaries while maintaining compassion, why timing matters with teens, and the importance of natural consequences. Dr. Conte shares examples from raising his own daughter, demonstrating how sitting with uncomfortable emotions builds resilience.Our conversation also examines masculinity and what therapy gets wrong about men. How has "toxic masculinity" become problematic? Why do many men feel they cannot express themselves? What does healthy self-control really mean?What happens when we get trapped in what Dr. Conte calls our "cartoon world" of expectations versus reality? Can we learn to align our expectations with how people actually think, feel, and behave?Dr. Christian Conte is a nationally recognized mental health specialist, speaker, and creator of Yield Theory, a powerful approach to communication and emotional management that has transformed lives around the world. With a Ph.D. in Counselor Education and Supervision and over 25 years of experience, he has worked with thousands of people - from the depths of solitary confinement in maximum security prisons to elite athletes, military personnel, police and corrections officers, first responders, and high-level professionals. He is known for his direct, compassionate, and no nonsense style, blending ancient wisdom with modern psychology, to teach self-mastery, emotional strength, and inner peace.

Perhaps the most important skill an intelligent person can learn is the Dao of Decision Making.  Making tough, high-stakes decisions doesn't come naturally to high achievers because they've been fooled into valuing their intelligence more than their emotions. But every decision has its roots in emotions… and relying solely on logic and data for these decisions is a quick way to make a decision that wrecks your marriage, your internal harmony, and even your future fulfillment.  In other words, there is a better way to access the deep kind of wisdom that makes the answer to high-stake decisions obvious.  Problem is, high achievers, by their very nature, have learned to cut off this deep sense of emotional wisdom for their entire lives.  That's why I recorded this episode. You'll discover the “Dao of Decision Making" method, figure out how to achieve internal harmony before making any high-stakes decisions, and you'll also learn techniques to give you clarity for every future decision you make.  Listen now.  Show Highlights Include: How to get better at making high-stake decisions (so you don't accidentally wreck your marriage, your health, or your enjoyment of life) (0:30)  Why making decisions based on the best arguments and logic can subtly lead you to misery (1:51)  The deadly “Illusion of Rational Clarity” that pits your emotions against your logic and results in making decisions that sets your internal world ablaze, leaving you miserable and unfulfilled (3:10)  Here's the brutal truth behind why smart people make dumb decisions (4:15)  The psychological reason behind why you get stuck making decisions (and the airy-fairy-sounding solution smart people rarely consider) (10:17)  Confucius's secret for achieving “Inner Harmony” so making high-stakes decisions becomes as easy and naturally as walking (12:39)  Why any decision made from panic or pressure will never be the wisest decision you can make (and how to learn to be still and calm when faced with high-stakes decisions) (16:57)  Use this quick protocol whenever you feel yourself spinning from a weight and high-stakes decision - it recenters you so that the wise decision become obvious (18:27)  For more about David Tian, go here: https://www.davidtianphd.com/about/  Want more success in leadership, deeper connections, or a greater sense of fulfillment?

High achievers are vulnerable to emotional avoidance. It's subtle, sneaky, and seductive. It tricks you into thinking you're making progress or crushing goals.  But when everything feels flat - no matter how big the accomplishment - it's a sign that you're under the spell of emotional avoidance. And emotional avoidance comes with a devastating cost: Losing the entire gamut of your emotions.  That might sound alluring at first, until you realize the full cost. It's not just mental, but physical too. In fact, it could put you in the ground long before your time.  But here's the good news: Emotional Strength is a skill that can be honed, just like any other skill. But it requires approaching your emotions in a new light.  In today's show, you'll discover the true cost of emotional avoidance, then learn what you can do to avoid paying it.   Listen now.  Show Highlights Include: What to do if you constantly wonder why nothing feels as fulfilling or satisfying as it should (1:04)  How to feel your emotions in a way that makes you stronger instead of weaker (1:48)  The scientific reason why suppressing your emotions actually increases your stress and your risk of disease  (2:53)  How emotional avoidance subtly spirals you into an empty void of despair and hopelessness (5:27)  The truth about why you're on the verge of burnout, always tired and tense, and your relationships feel shallow (6:15)   Why unresolved emotional tension can manifest in the body as irritable bowel syndrome, migraines, and autoimmune flares (8:51) The downstream consequences of suppressing “bad” emotions like anger, sadness, and fear (11:51)   How to exercise your emotions like your biceps and build your emotional intelligence (19:47)  For more about David Tian, go here: https://www.davidtianphd.com/about/  Want more success in leadership, deeper connections, or a greater sense of fulfillment?

Most high achievers learned at a young age that emotions were distractions. This early lesson inspired much of their success… but it came at a terrible cost: It develops emotional blindspots that quietly, patiently, and relentlessly sabotage you.  Here's the thing about emotional blindspots:  No matter how much you try to stuff them down and pretend they don't exist, they don't simply disappear. Instead, they move underground. They become sneakier. More insidious. And more sabotaging.  Worst part? There's only one way to address your emotional blindspots in a way that builds emotional strength and mastery. And it's not hustling harder, doing more mental gymnastics with your cognitive behavioral therapist, or becoming a master at stress management.  The real solution goes far deeper than these knee-jerk reactions most high achievers have.  That's what I share in today's episode. Listen now.  Show Highlights Include: Why avoiding, distracting, and numbing out your emotions backfires and causes them to hijack your behaviors (even without you realizing it) (1:26)  The “emotions aren't spreadsheets” secret for understanding why you spiral (and why it's not a problem you can think yourself out of) (2:34)  Why “knowing” your emotions doesn't make you a master at them - the same way “knowing” guitar doesn't make you play as good as Jimi Hendrix (3:35)  3 exercises to try when intellectualizing your emotions doesn't help you master them (5:32)  Why addressing your emotional blindspots improves your sleep, lessens your compulsive habits' grip on you, deepens your relationships, and improves your material success (13:06)  The sneaky way anger, frustration, and anxiety hide your real emotional pain (15:44)    For more about David Tian, go here: https://www.davidtianphd.com/about/    Want more success in leadership, deeper connections, or a greater sense of fulfillment?

Most high achievers take pride in the fact that they're not too emotional. They stay cool under pressure, act like nothing bothers them, wear their emotional armor like a badge.  But one day, they wake up and realize that they're a mere observer of their life. They're not actually living their own life. Instead, they feel empty, like something's missing that they can't quite put their finger on.  Worst part? They don't realize that the emotional armor they wore so proudly is the exact thing preventing them from experiencing all the good life has to offer: Joy, love, connection, growth.  In today's show, you'll discover why emotional armor is not emotional strength (despite what you've been led to believe), how emotional armor prevents you from experiencing the full breadth of life, and how to start taking steps to remove your emotional armor, so you can show up fully even in the midst of an emotional storm.  Listen now.  Show Highlights Include: Here's why reaching your biggest, most ambitious goal feels empty (0:48)  How suppressed emotions fester under the surface and can actually cause physical pain  (2:23)  The dark side of making millions before turning 40 that nobody understands or even talks about (4:10)  How people with real emotional strength handle being triggered (and no, building emotional strength doesn't mean you're immune to being triggered) (8:53)  The “Emotional Strength Inoculation” secret for gradually building your emotional resilience without suppressing or repressing emotions that will come back to haunt you (10:32)  Why numbing your emotions turns you into a lifeless, soulless robot that never experiences the full breadth of life (16:19)  For more about David Tian, go here: https://www.davidtianphd.com/about/  Want more success in leadership, deeper connections, or a greater sense of fulfillment?

Higher food prices, economic instability, and other factors have made providing for a family even harder. 1 in 8 households in the U.S. is food insecure. That means these families don't have enough money or resources to buy enough food for everyone in their household. As recently as 2022, 7.3 million children lived in food insecure households. Also, 16.9% of children live in poverty.   SNAP Benefits More than 22 million U.S. households use SNAP benefits to help with food costs, as of April 2023. Sometimes known as “food stamps,” SNAP is the federal Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program. People who receive SNAP benefits can use it to buy groceries, seeds, and plants for food. SNAP cannot be used to purchase hot food or household items like cleaning supplies, vitamins, or diapers.   CONNECT WITH Cedric Francis Website: https://www.lead2greatness.com/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/cedricbfrancis X (twitter): https://twitter.com/cedricbfrancis Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/leadtogreatness/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/cedric-b-francis-a0544037/

There are 3 distinct levels to personal development and self-improvement. And most high achievers get trapped forever in Level 2—never fully healing or integrating with their internal world because they're stuck trying to conquer it.  While Level 2 is helpful up to a point, if you stay in Level 2 for too long, you'll never experience true healing or integration.  Worst part? Most influencers and coaches intentionally keep you stuck at Level 2 because it's easier to sell you “the one thing” you need than to fix yourself than sell the message that you don't need fixed and you're already worthy.  But there's a way through Level 2 to reach Level 3 and experience how life fundamentally feels different when you're healed and integrated.  In today's show, I'll walk you through the 3 stages of personal growth, explain why Level 2 is so intoxicating, but stagnate, and reveal the counterintuitive approach to get to Level 3.  Listen now.  Show Highlights Include: Why obsessing over self-development stunts your internal growth (0:18)  The 3 levels of personal development and how learning which level your stuck at explains almost everything about your current struggles (1:04)  3 telltale signs you're stuck in the insidious “Level 2 Self Improvement” trap (and how to finally break through to the third level and experience true healing) (3:25)   The “stop fixing, start listening” secret that actually heals your inner world instead of trying to fix it (4:34)  How trying to conquer or change your parts means you're still not integrating or healing (and one question to help you integrate and heal) (10:15)  Why most of the deep- or enlightened-sounding advice on the internet keeps you stuck at level 2 (15:20)  For more about David Tian, go here: https://www.davidtianphd.com/about/  Want more success in leadership, deeper connections, or a greater sense of fulfillment?

What happens when you reach all your goals and still feel empty? In this powerful conversation, Jeff Fenster sits down with Shamina Taylor—former lawyer turned 7-figure entrepreneur—to unpack the hidden emotional and energetic blocks that keep even the highest achievers stuck.   Shamina shares how unresolved trauma fueled her success until it left her feeling lost… and how healing, feminine energy, and self-worth became her path to abundance.   Whether you're a high-performing woman, entrepreneur, or seeking deeper purpose, this episode will shift the way you think about success, money, and emotional mastery.  

There are certain emotional scripts you learned in your formative years that are running your life today. These emotional patterns aren't the enemy. They don't mean that you're broken as a person or flawed in an insidious way.  Instead, it simply means that you're not aware of these emotional scripts.  But if you're been stuck in the same loops for years, trying harder, doing the same thing over and over, something deeper is necessary. In fact, gritting your teeth and trying harder will only give these emotional scripts more power over you and your behavior.  In today's show, you'll discover how to start noticing these emotional scripts, you'll understand how they started, and more important, how they protected you, and you'll learn the key that makes your emotional scripts stop running the show of your life.  Listen now.  Show Highlights Include: Sneaky emotional patterns that control your life without you even realizing it (0:18)  A few examples of how you might've picked up some of the emotional scripts that still control your every action (2:32)  The one thing anxious people who feel broken never hear—but desperately need to hear (5:29)  How childhood parts that once protected you can sabotage your adult relationships (and how integrating these parts can stop their self-destruction) (8:37)   How to finally break free from being a slave to your emotional patterns (and why it won't necessarily feel like a perfect sense of enlightenment) (17:14)  For more about David Tian, go here: https://www.davidtianphd.com/about/  Want more success in leadership, deeper connections, or a greater sense of fulfillment?

Most people, and high achievers in particular, suffer from a paradoxical problem: Trying too hard backfires and causes your deepest, darkest fears to realize. When high achievers are confronted with a problem in their personal or professional life, their first instinct is to push harder, work longer, go on more dates.  They're desperately searching for connection, peace, joy, and love. But they don't realize that their need for control keeps these forever out of their reach.  But there's an ancient solution to this problem: Wu Wei, acting without inner friction.  However, you can't approach it like some business metric. In fact, you have to learn to stop trying so hard, to loosen your grip on control if you want to experience the effortless flow that's the main ingredient in true mastery of life.  In today's show, I breakdown what Wu Wei really is, why most high achievers totally miss it, and how you can become more fulfilled in life by trying less.  Listen now.  Show Highlights Include: Why trying too hard in life has devastating consequences that will deprive you of every joy (0:18)  How to incorporate “modern Wu Wei” into your life before you rip apart everything you want most—like connection, peace, joy, and love (2:05)  The paradoxical way you heal naturally by not trying as hard (6:44) The single most toxic mindset that has killed more potential than any other mindset in human history (9:04)  How you make your life into a hollow void when you fall into the insidious “Trap of the Shoulds” (11:18)  Why positive thinking and affirmations are actually a deadly suppression skill that take you further away from what you crave most in life (17:53)  For more about David Tian, go here: https://www.davidtianphd.com/about/  Want more success in leadership, deeper connections, or a greater sense of fulfillment?

In this powerhouse crossover episode of The Chase Life Podcast and The Mastery Podcast, Rachel Godfrey and Mark Coles unite to deliver an unfiltered, real-world conversation on what it truly takes to thrive in business, body, and life. Together, they pull back the curtain on nearly four decades of combined experience in high performance coaching and entrepreneurship—sharing personal stories, professional pivots, and the behind-the-scenes struggles no one talks about.

Most high achievers have been sold a lie: that Chaos is a threat that will take everything from you, and the only way to handle it is with more control.  But if you look into any high achiever's life, relationships, or business, you'll see a similar through line: They're quietly miserable no matter how much material success they've accumulated.  Why does this same story play out across so many lives? Because when you try to control chaos, you cut yourself off from half of life. Peace doesn't come from a lack of chaos, it comes in the midst of chaos. And chaos is the raw material of growth, creativity, love, and leadership.  The trick isn't to compartmentalize your life so much that you don't feel chaos. It's to lean into the chaos, be curious with the chaos, and gain wisdom from it.  In today's show, I'm going to dismantle the lie that chaos should be avoided by turning to ancient Chinese philosophy, Buddhist psychology, and even modern day leadership coaching. And I'll show you how leaning into the chaos doesn't just shift your mindset or cause a paradigm shift, it gives you an entirely new way of being.  Listen now.  Show Highlights Include: Why trying to control chaos is a failing strategy that will devour your fulfillment of life (0:28)  How to flow through your problems like water down a river (and why this framework leads to more success and happiness than trying to conquer a particular obstacle) (2:55)  The insidious way “white knuckling” your way through stress sabotages your sleep quality, your relationship, and your joy for life (3:25)  3 characteristics toddlers in the middle of a tantrum crave more than anything else (and no, none of the characteristics include lecturing) (6:01)  The counterintuitive formula for peace that applies to parenting, intimate relationships, your career, and your inner, emotional world (8:20)  How to get unstuck in your career, your relationship, and your life by leaning into chaos instead of shying away from it (11:04)  The single best lesson from Tony Robbins that can 10x your business if you take it seriously (12:32)  Feel stuck in a paralyzing trap of analyzing? Here's why doing more when you feel uncomfortable emotions can only make you more lost (and what to do instead) (17:08)    For more about David Tian, go here: https://www.davidtianphd.com/about/  Want more success in leadership, deeper connections, or a greater sense of fulfillment?

If you wanted to grow bigger muscles, you could read all the strength training books you wanted. But until you go to the gym and apply your knowledge to your body, your muscles will never grow.  That's the same way the muscle of connection works. But for some reason, high achievers especially are prone to fall into the trap of thinking they can build connection by listening to podcasts, reading books, or even going into individual therapy.  This misses the mark that connection is a skill. And the only way to improve at a skill is to practice it with other people.  In today's show, you'll discover why connection is a skill that can be honed with practice, how to start practicing it (even if it feels uncomfortable), and what your life could be like with intentional practice.  Listen now.  Show Highlights Include: How to rewire your nervous system to be okay with vulnerability (and why you must do this if you want to experience true connection) (1:49)  5 ways to practice the skill of connection if you think you're not wired for connection (3:44)  The weird way your habits, emotions, and health are influenced by a friend of a friend of a friend (6:58)  Why being able to figure things out on your own is actually a massive hindrance to connection (11:47)  The “immersion” secret that explains why reading more books, listening to more podcasts, and trying to logic your way to emotional depth can never work (14:30)  For more about David Tian, go here: https://www.davidtianphd.com/about/  Want more success in leadership, deeper connections, or a greater sense of fulfillment?

Let me know your thoughts on the show and what topic you would like me to discuss next.What if the strength we've been chasing isn't found in stoicism, but in mastering our emotions?For too long, men have been taught that emotions are a weakness to overcome. We've pushed feelings down, bottled them up, and paid the price through explosive anger, burnout, and damaged relationships. But what would leadership and life look like if we could transform our emotions into fuel for purpose and connection?This episode challenges everything you've been taught about masculinity and emotions.

His journey from volatile leader to respected mentor demonstrates that true strength isn't found in emotional suppression, but in emotional direction.You'll discover the three essential steps to emotional mastery—awareness, reflection, and intentional action—and practical techniques you can implement immediately.
