Quotes to ponder: "Gratitude is a powerful mindset that changes how you perceive ‘enough' in your life." "Saying no is like a muscle. The more you use it, the stronger it becomes."

I met Keesha years ago. Surrounded by people, full of energy, and deeply rooted in the recovery community. Over the years, we'd cross paths at local gyms, events, and business functions. Each time, her presence stood out.Recently, I had the honor of speaking at her adolescent treatment center. Sharing my story with her clients and reconnecting with her reminded me just how far we've both come on our personal and professional journeys.After the event, I knew I had to get her on the podcast.Between running a treatment center, writing a book, and being a full-time mom, her schedule is no joke but we made it happen.This conversation dives deep. We talk about: The raw reality of business ownership, mental health and parenting, sobriety, loss, connection, and resilience and the lessons that keep showing up, even years into recovery.Keesha's story is full of power, perspective, and purpose. If you're on your own recovery path, supporting a loved one, or just love real conversations—you'll want to hear this one.Questions about adolescent recovery?

You'll learn how to deploy gratitude as a leadership strategy, how to make it part of your workplace rhythms, and why it transforms not just your team culture but your people's *entire lives*. (And honestly, yours too.) If Part 1 was the “why,” this one is the “how.” This isn't about feel-good fluff. It's about building a joy-filled, high-performing workplace on purpose.

Inspired by a quote from Pope Francis, she explores how judgment and gossip, though often disguised as concern or connection, weigh us down more than we realize.

As we head into summer—a season when team energy can dip and distractions rise—it's more important than ever to ensure your people feel seen, valued, and appreciated. In this week's episode, Jenni Catron breaks down why employee appreciation isn't just a feel-good bonus—it's a strategic leadership move that strengthens organizational culture, boosts motivation, and builds trust.Why this conversation matters now: According to Gallup, employees who feel recognized are 4x more likely to be engaged. Yet 65% of workers say they haven't received any form of recognition in the last year (Workhuman & Gallup, 2023). That's a gap leaders can't afford to ignore—especially as we enter a season where burnout and disengagement can quietly take hold.Jenni unpacks:✅ Why appreciation must become a cultural norm, not a calendar event ✅ No-cost strategies to increase motivation and belonging ✅ Creative ideas like “post-it parties” and gratitude rituals that leaders can start today ✅ How simple gestures—like handwritten notes—can shift the tone of your entire teamWhether you lead five or fifty, this episode will equip you with practical, meaningful ways to build a culture of gratitude—one action at a time.

To remind us that civilizational alliances are not merely transactional, Robert Edsel tells personal World War II stories from the rural province of Limburg.  Before dawn on May 10, 1940, Hitler's forces invaded the Netherlands, shattering more than 100 years of peace. The Dutch lived through four-and-a-half years of occupation until September 1944, when American forces reached Limburg—the last portion of Europe west of Germany to be liberated by the Allies. Edsel follows 12 main characters over a six-year span, including Lieutenant Colonel Robert Cole, the first member of the 101st Airborne to receive the Medal of Honor; Sergeant Jeff Wiggins of the 960th Quartermaster Service Company, who escaped the poverty and racism of Alabama just to face more indignities; and Frieda van Schäik, a teenager who fell in love with an American soldier.  Drawing on letters, diaries, and other historical records, Edsel shows the painful price of freedom, capturing both the horrors of war and the transcendent power of gratitude by revealing the extraordinary measures the Dutch have taken to thank their liberators.

Have you ever had a bad day - or even just an uninspired day - that was completely turned around by one tiny act of kindness? A compliment from a stranger that leads to a 10-minute chat about your favourite neighborhood shops? A heartfelt email from a client thanking you for helping them achieve a big breakthrough? Or even something as simple as a barista giving you a complimentary still-warm-from-the-oven cookie?These moments of human connection are SOOO meaningful because they show us we're SEEN and appreciated in a world that can feel disconnected!

 Would you like to change the negative patterns in your life? Did you know they could be based in your unconscious? Lisa continues the conversation today with Dr. Darren R. Weissman, who is a leading chiropractic holistic physician, author, and world-renowned expert on the subconscious mind. He developed The LifeLine Technique®, a holistic, self-healing system designed to process trauma, transform subconscious limiting beliefs, and evolve emotional intelligence. He explains how there are 3 things unconscious patterns do. They affect your vision and how you see things; they affect your hearing and how you hear things; and they affect your surroundings and your relationship to how you experience things. You feel by looking through these lenses that that's reality. We may believe that suffering is real. But, it's actually the lens you are looking through. Dr. Darren talks about the “Truth Question” – if you could choose to create your life, what would you choose? Would you ever create a level of pain, fear, and stress? Hell, no!! When we are in a subconscious pattern, we may not know that our pain is based on the choices we made. We are programmed to forget, then these programs become our personalities. The entire process of the Lifeline Technique is all about love. Dr. Darren talks about how to learn to create healthy boundaries. We can say Yes or No with love. When we shift our vibrations, we shift our consciousness. People can then make confident, calm decisions with clarity. We evolve and become present to who we are born to be. We courageously face our fears and realize we are capable. It is accessible to everyone. The Lifeline Technique is based in infinite love and gratitude. When you bridge the gap between the subconscious and conscious, you naturally begin to see the truth of an optimistic future. The more you align and create coherence, the deeper the levels of perception. The power is within us. This is truth.

I share how Adams' insights into corporate culture resonated with me during my early career as a software entrepreneur, emphasizing his critique of management structures and the humor derived from absurd realities. I recount personal anecdotes that illustrate the value of his work in shaping my perspective on success and authority. As I reflect on Adams' resilience through life's challenges, I highlight the existential themes his comics bring to the forefront, urging listeners to confront mortality, pursue their passions, and seize opportunities now rather than waiting. Ultimately, I express deep gratitude for Adams' influence, encouraging everyone to challenge complacency and embrace their potential.Shows with Scott Adams:HOAXED: EVERYTHING THEY TOLD YOU IS A LIE!

How can older adults reclaim movement as a joyful, empowering part of life despite pervasive cultural narratives about aging? Letting go of perfectionism opens the door to playfulness and self-compassion. "If I can be more compassionate toward myself, I can let go of this addiction to competence and just let myself try, and suck. So yeah, I have come to embrace the idea that if a thing is worth doing, it is worth doing badly and playfully." ~ David Wilson (48:45) This conversation with David Wilson explores how movement intersects with aging, self-perception, and cultural narratives. David begins by addressing how deeply internalized ageist beliefs affect people's willingness to move, take up space, and try new things. The discussion challenges the idea that aging necessitates physical decline, emphasizing instead that variety in movement and awareness of personal stories can lead to growth and transformation at any age. David also critiques societal pressures that promote fear-based motivation, and he encourages a shift toward framing movement as a present-moment gift. The conversation moves through practical barriers and misconceptions that keep people inactive, such as rigid goals, perfectionism, and the belief that certain types of exercise are required. It emphasizes meeting oneself where one is, using personal values rather than fixed goals as guides. The importance of self-compassion, playfulness, and the willingness to "do things badly" is highlighted as a more sustainable path toward movement. There's also a critique of mainstream fitness messaging, which often excludes older populations by failing to address their actual lived experiences. Takeaways Internalized ageism — Movement hesitancy is often rooted in lifelong exposure to ageist narratives absorbed from a very young age. Misconceptions about aging — Many decline-related assumptions are not due to age itself but to reduced movement and lifestyle limitations. Curiosity over goals — Letting go of rigid, timeline-based goals makes space for exploration and deeper engagement with movement. Compassionate self-awareness — Bringing compassion into one's personal practice enables growth without harsh self-judgment. Playfulness as practice — Play offers a route to joy and learning, especially valuable when countering addiction to competence. Movement generalism — A broad, varied movement practice supports better adaptability and long-term capability. Fear-based fitness culture — Much mainstream messaging about aging and exercise motivates through fear instead of empowerment. Efficiency of the body — The body conserves resources by shedding unused capabilities, so maintaining movement variety is crucial. Accessible movement — Movement does not require equipment, special clothing, or gym memberships—it can be integrated into daily life. Time as a barrier — A perceived lack of time is the most common excuse for not moving, yet even minutes of activity show measurable benefits. Specificity of training — Effective physical preparation must match the demands of real environments rather than generic or repetitive exercise. Gratitude for the body — Pausing to appreciate the body's enduring support helps reframe limitations and fosters a more engaged relationship with movement. Imagination of aging — How one envisions growing older strongly influences present decisions about health and movement. Practice as identity — How we treat ourselves in movement mirrors how we show up in the world and in relationships. Resources OldsCoolMoves on Instagram OldsCoolMoves website — David Wilson's web site offering online courses and information. Five Minute Movement — A series of short guided sequences emphasizing movement variety. Ageism Unmasked — Tracy Gendron's book exploring the deep roots and effects of ageism.

Hey friends! I'm so excited to share this conversation with Serena Burla.

Can you be 10 to 20 pounds overweight and still be considered healthy? Ben Azadi says yes—but it all depends on where that fat is located. I had such a powerful conversation with Ben, FDN-P—he's the Founder of Keto Kamp and someone who's helped thousands (maybe millions!) of people break free from what he calls “metabolic prison.” We talked about the kind of fat that really puts your health at risk, and why looking lean doesn't always mean you're healthy. This one really made me rethink how we define “healthy”—especially as we get older. Ben shared how he lost 80 pounds and completely turned his life around, and now he's teaching others how to do the same—without crash diets or gimmicks. His book, Metabolic Freedom, is packed with real strategies to help you feel better, think clearer, and age in a healthier way. We got into the nitty-gritty of insulin resistance (something so many women in midlife are dealing with), how to become a fat burner instead of a sugar burner, and why fasting is more than just skipping meals—it's about giving your body a chance to heal. And he makes it all so doable, even if you're just getting started. I also asked Ben about his own routine—he shared some simple habits that make a big difference, like hydration tips, gratitude journaling, and how building muscle can help keep your metabolism humming. Oh, and speaking of feeling good… there's a brand-new flavor of my fave superfood drink, Mighty Maca Mango—it's zesty, refreshing, and just in time for summer. I've been loving it in sparkling water or frozen as popsicles (total game-changer).

In today's episode, we examine Oscar Wilde's quote on flattery. 

What if happiness isn't something you chase—but something you tune into? In this powerful solo episode, Darin Olien strips away the distractions of modern life to explore the real source of clarity, peace, purpose, and joy. With a raw and contemplative flow, Darin shares his hard-won truths about why success didn't fulfill him, how pain can become sacred, and why tuning inward is the path to your Super Life. This is more than a motivational pep talk—it's a deep call to remember who you really are.     Redefining Happiness Let's start here. Happiness. We're sold this idea that it's a destination. That if we just get the right body, the right job, the right relationship — boom — happiness will magically arrive. But the truth I've discovered over and over is this: Happiness isn't an emotion. It's a frequency. It's coherence between what you feel, what you do, and who you are. When your internal world matches your external actions — that's happiness. When your soul and your choices are in agreement — that's freedom.     Purpose Isn't What You Do — It's Who You Are I used to think purpose was this big thing I had to accomplish — something out there on the horizon. But now, I know better. Purpose isn't just what you do. It's how you be. It's the energy you bring into the room. It's the way you treat people. It's how you respond when no one's watching. The SuperLife isn't about chasing. It's about tuning in. When you're aligned with your soul — you don't need to prove anything. You just live it.     Perspective: From Victim to Creator Here's a shift that changed everything for me: We are not victims of this life. We are creators of it. The moment we stop outsourcing our joy — waiting for the world to “make us happy” — we begin to reclaim our power. Fear? Becomes fuel. Struggle? Becomes the sculptor. Your life becomes a canvas — and you become the artist.     The Keys to Living Your SuperLife So how do you actually live a SuperLife — from the inside out? 1. Radical Self-Honesty See yourself clearly — no filters, no bullshit. Get real about what's working… and what's not. 2. Daily Devotion Not grand gestures. Small, consistent choices. The micro becomes the macro. That's the game. 3. Community & Reflection Who's in your orbit? Do they mirror your greatness — or your fear? We rise together or we shrink alone. 4. Clear Energy Inputs Your life is a result of what you consume — not just food, but thoughts, media, environments, people. 5. Soul Dialogue Build an inner life richer than your outer one. That's where the guidance lives. That's where your real self is.     The Meaning of Life — and the Illusion of Seeking It Outside You know, I used to ask myself: What's the meaning of life? Why am I here? I thought maybe I'd find it on a mountaintop, or through success, or in someone else's approval. But here's what I know now: Life doesn't give us meaning. We give life meaning. Meaning is something we create by how we live, how we love, how we grow, how we serve. The trap? Thinking the answer is somewhere “out there.” But chasing the external world is like drinking salt water. It looks like it'll quench your thirst… but it just leaves you emptier.     Life Reflects You — Always And yet — here's the twist: The external world is meaningful. Not because it defines you… but because it reflects you. Your relationships, your challenges, even your pain — these are invitations. Mirrors. Life is always showing you where you're aligned… and where you're not. Not as punishment — but as clarity.     Pain as a Propeller I've felt pain — heartbreak, betrayal, confusion, exhaustion. I've stared in the mirror and wondered, What the hell am I doing? But I've come to see pain differently. Pain is sacred. It's a teacher. It strips away what's false. It shows you what matters. And if you're willing to feel it — it becomes a propeller. It pushes you to course-correct. To get honest. To get free.     Course-Correcting with Courage You are allowed to change your mind. You are allowed to choose again. You are allowed to leave the path that's killing your spirit — and walk toward the one that makes you come alive. That's what living a SuperLife really means. It's not perfect. It's not always easy. But it's real. It's yours. And it's waiting for you.     Closing Reflection: Ask Your Soul If you're confused right now… if you're overwhelmed or numb… Just stop. Get still. Ask your soul: What's true for me? What makes me come alive? Don't ask what's trending. Don't ask what will impress the world. Ask what feels aligned. Ask what lights you up. That's where your SuperLife begins.     What You'll Learn in This Episode: 00:00 – Welcome + why this might be Darin's most important message 00:52 – What if happiness isn't something to achieve—but to tune into? 01:40 – The myth of chasing the right job, body, partner for joy 02:15 – Happiness isn't an emotion—it's coherence between soul and action 03:20 – The ego's tyrannical grip—and how to loosen it 04:45 – When your soul and your choices align, that's freedom 05:30 – Darin's reflections on “Down to Earth,” purpose, and surrender 07:00 – This episode is an invitation—not a lecture—to remember 08:00 – The truth: you're already whole, you just forgot 09:00 – Silence, stillness, and telling the ego to shut up 10:50 – You're not a victim of life.

Austin Hatch is the embodiment of resilience and relentless growth. Surviving not one, but two tragic plane crashes that claimed the lives of his immediate family members, Austin defied the odds and went on to earn a Division 1 basketball scholarship at the University of Michigan. Guided by unwavering faith, a steadfast commitment to his family, and a mindset forged in adversity, Austin now shares his journey and his "GRIT" framework as a sought-after motivational speaker. Honoring those he lost, Austin is dedicated to helping others thrive in the face of adversity and to leaving people and places better than he found them. Takeaways: Purpose is Everything: Austin emphasizes the importance of having a “because” that’s bigger than yourself—his family is his deeper purpose and what keeps him moving forward even during life’s toughest moments. GRIT is a Daily Discipline: Success over the long term is built on daily decisions to show up with growth, resilience, integrity, and a team-first mentality. Austin’s GRIT framework turns adversity into opportunity. Gratitude and Action Go Hand-in-Hand: Practicing gratitude is a conscious choice that can’t coexist with negativity. Pairing this mindset with urgent, intentional action creates real, lasting impact. Sound Bites: “If it’s just for us, we’ll probably throw in the towel, give up. But if we remember that greater purpose, that why...we’ll always be willing to do what it takes to overcome.” “It’s impossible to be truly grateful and very negative at the same time. Those two emotions can’t coexist.” “You may not be the best on the team, but you can be your best for the team.” Quote by Mick: “If you’re not getting better, you’re falling way behind, right?” Connect & Discover Austin: Website: https://austin-hatch.com/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/austin-hatch-530727a6/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/austin.j.hatch/ Website: Players for Good FOLLOW MICK ON:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/mickunplugged/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/mickunplugged/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@mickunplugged LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/mickhunt/Website: https://www.mickhuntofficial.com Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/mick-unplugged/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
