Join me this week and enjoy an interesting podcast conversation with Kylee, Lindsay Regan, and Carson. They talk about their experience attending a high-achieving school and how they saw themselves in this environment. They all seemed to have experienced their own internal buffer from the pressure a lot of others may have felt. Yet, they also had times when they got caught up in the energy of competition and performance.They talk about what success means to them now and how all their life experiences have contributed to where they are now.

What are common beliefs we form about ourselves that leave us unable to connect, trust and receive love later as adults? Have you ever wondered why success doesn't automatically translate to feeling fulfilled?  Or why, despite all our achievements, there's still that nagging feeling that we need to prove ourselves? Today's episode sharing an adoption story might just explain why.  Today, JJ Virgin joins me to share a deeply personal story that is part of her reason for her remarkable professional success. In this episode, JJ talks openly about the challenges of growing up feeling like she had to rely only on herself, how those feelings drove her to professional success, and the breakthroughs she's experienced that have helped her heal old wounds, become a proud mom and find love.  Yet, this conversation isn't just for those who have been adopted— though it will help you understand yourself better if you have and help you understand anyone in your life who has been. Rather, this episode is about recognizing the unconscious pain that we carry from our childhood.  In this episode, you'll learn: How early experiences shape our beliefs about love, trust, and self-worth   The conundrum of relying only on ourselves  Simple ways to build trust when we haven't been able to trust others How to better support those in your life who have a history of being adopted  For more information and show notes, please visit our website: https://biologyoftrauma.com/biology-of-trauma-podcast/

Perhaps no one has quit their job like my guest today, Cory Richards. Richards, still a world-renowned photographer, abruptly ended his career as an elite mountaineer in April 2021 at the foot of the world's seventh-highest peak. Over several days, Richards experienced what he later described as a mixed bipolar episode.With one hundred thousand dollars spent and a film in the works, Richards announced to his team at Dhaulagiri's cold and windblown base camp that he was quitting—not just the expedition, but climbing altogether. He told his livid teammates he planned to move to Los Angeles to pursue filmmaking and writing. The pressure cooker of personal history, fame, high achievement, and perhaps the exhaustion of living someone else's life boiled over.In 2011, Richards became the first and only American to climb one of the world's 8000-meter peaks in winter. On the descent, the team narrowly escaped death in an avalanche. In the aftermath, Richards snapped the iconic frozen selfie that adorned the cover of National Geographic's 125th-anniversary issue. He was the 2012 National Geographic Adventurer of the Year and a 2014 National Geographic Photographer Fellow. He summited Everest without oxygen, garnering over two billion media impressions with his partner Adrian Ballinger as they Snapchatted their way up the mountain in 2016.For years, people lived vicariously through him. He garnered over a million Instagram followers. Everyone told him he had the dream job. He traveled nine months each year across the globe to distant and stunningly beautiful lands to climb and take pictures. But in his own words, he “hated it.” He was an addict, fueling a burning fire with alcohol, sex, and tremendous pressure to do more and go bigger in increasingly deadly circumstances. Then it all fell apart.His memoir, The Color of Everything, is set to release on July 9. It's a gripping and shockingly frank account of Cory's life struggles. From his adolescent mental health diagnosis to a life of addiction and denial, he's found the slow path toward acceptance. This is a story of personal growth, societal pressures, and the complex interplay between vulnerability, achievement, and emotional resilience. Support this project: Buy Me a CoffeeSubscribe to the newsletter: SUBSCRIBE ME!Show Notes and Links at Clippingchains.com

If you haven't noticed, the concept of achievement and even competitiveness has weighed heavily on my mind as of late. A gift of the nontraditional life is the opportunity to step back and see the world around us with a degree of unusual clarity, far from the treadmill. For years I valued athletic and professional progress in ways that weren't making my life better, but I thought they were. I searched for and implemented solutions to the wrong problems. Meanwhile, what truly mattered—mainly my relationships—withered on the vine. The journey toward rectifying these tendencies continues today. My guest today, Lincoln Stoller, is a former mountaineer who now specializes in psycho-, hypno-, and neurofeedback therapy, in tandem with numerous other counseling and coaching services. Lincoln holds a PhD in Theoretical and Mathematical Physics from UT Austin, including a post-doc assignment at UC Berkley. Lincoln eventually moved from quantum physics to create a management and automation software platform for businesses, learned to build Norwegian log homes, traveled and lived abroad in far-flung foreign lands, and is even a certified pilot. To say Lincoln lives well outside of the bounds of normalcy is probably a half-truth at best. As he says in the interview, we should “just keep doing out-of-the-box stuff. And if people are calling you a little crazy or a little nutty, then you probably aren't exploring enough of the boundaries.” Today's conversation revolves around the high-risk potential of hard-charging performers and achievers, whether they exist in sports, business, or other areas of life. While these individuals hold our collective attention and admiration, Lincoln outlines how their psychological roots run shallow. They often struggle to stay satisfied with themselves or those around them. Lincoln might even say he holds an anti-hard-man philosophy. I think you'll see why. Support this project: Buy Me a CoffeeSubscribe to the website: SUBSCRIBE ME!Show Notes and Links at Clippingchains.com Topics Discussed with Lincoln StollerQuantum physics to therapist/coachLincoln's history in mountaineering amongst some of the legends of the sportWhy almost all climbers are “high-risk”“Resilience is not throwing yourself at a climb until you are torn and bloody, it's exploring your limits and working them gracefully.”Why some people crave riskEmotions on the rock and exploration and mastering of triggersGetting past societal expectations of productivityCan satisfied people be high performers?How dissatisfaction can lead to pathology: “If you're not satisfied with yourself, you won't be satisfied with anyone else, either.”Is competition healthy?Is personal growth selfish?What is productive suffering and why is it important?Taking ownership: the dysfunctional mental model that experts can solve our problemsHow high performers can assess mental health concerns that might not be apparentRelationships with parents and why these are often commonly fraught“You can't change people directly.

Sometimes I really don't like "celebrities". When we meet, have a conversation, or play golf with a celebrity we can be blinded by their platform and the feeling they gave us from years ago or even yesterday. Don't get me wrong, It's cool to rub elbows with your childhood idols but don't let their celebrity blind you from their character or it can have a negative impact on you from a relationship standpoint.Always align your values with who you are. You get to choose how you respond to people, even if it might not be that popular.Peer pressure is still a bitch...even in your 40's!Grab a copy of my book The Ultimate Playbook for High Achievement!Let's connect:Book a 15-minute complimentary Coaching Call with me today!LinkedIn | Alex MoldenIG | @alexmoldenFacebook | @alex.molden1Website | www.alexmoldencoaching.comHigh Achievers AcademyHelping former Pro & D-1 Athletes find their identity, leverage their relationships, profit from their passions, and become influential leaders.
