Have you ever received a compliment or acknowledged a success, only to immediately deflect or downplay it? Or perhaps you've accomplished something meaningful but instead of feeling proud, you start to focus on what could have been better? This tendency to minimize our strengths and dismiss our progress can be so automatic that we don't even realize we're doing it.   In this episode, I explore why we minimize ourselves and how to relate to this habit differently. What I once saw as just a bad mental habit to fix, I now understand as a protective strategy—a part of us trying to keep us safe from vulnerability, judgment, or failure. Through the lens of Internal Family Systems, embodiment, and nervous system regulation, I'll show you how this tendency serves a purpose and how we can start to shift it.   Get full show notes, transcript, and more information here: https://habitsonpurpose.com/180

Living With Purpose and Power: Create Your Guiding Stars and Live Your Ultimate lifePeople talk all the time about finding a life purpose. Most never really feel they have a handle on what that is. It seems to be an imaginary state where, every day, you know who you are, what you are about, what to do, and feel excitedly engaged in your purpose.Perhaps, like you, I never knew what my purpose was. I had some vague ideas about what I was “supposed to do,” but no big purpose that created any fire in the belly.We all want to matter and have a big impact. We all want to have abundance. We deeply desire to love and be loved. We seek experiences we remember and treasure. We want deep and meaningful relationships. With all this wanting, most don't really take the yearning to ground and create the life they desire.Want to be a guest on Book 101 Review?

Have you ever been so angry about something, voiced your concerns, advocated for a solution, maybe even cried over it, only to have nothing change? The situation remains the same, the person doesn't budge, and your anger lingers, leaving you stuck. What now? In this episode, I explore the exhaustion that comes when we're angry about something that won't shift.   You'll discover why anger becomes exhausting when there's no external resolution, what emotions typically hide beneath it, and how to redefine resolution as an internal process rather than an external outcome. You'll also learn practical ways to work with your anger so you can continue advocating for what matters without being undone by what you can't control.   Get full show notes, transcript, and more information here: https://habitsonpurpose.com/179

Living with purpose on purposehttps://lifemotivationdaily.blogspot.com/

Have you ever noticed a behavior or pattern that you know you should change, but you just can't seem to? Whether it's scrolling aimlessly on your phone or saying yes to commitments you don't want, that moment of recognition is where change begins. But what if that moment of awareness, even without immediate change, is more powerful than you think?   In this episode, I revisit one of the foundational concepts in behavior change: awareness precedes change. While this idea was introduced in an early episode, my understanding has evolved significantly. You'll learn practical ways to expand your awareness beyond just cognitive observation, including a simple practice you can use anytime.   Get full show notes, transcript, and more information here: https://habitsonpurpose.com/178

For natural-born fixers and problem solvers, the instinct to tackle every challenge head-on is deeply ingrained.

Nathan Payne is the co-founder of Offer on Homes and Investor Drive, a wholesaling investment firm and real estate coaching platform helping investors scale their portfolios the “Painless” way. With a background in door-to-door sales and a passion for autonomy, Nathan has built a thriving real estate business while living his dream lifestyle in rural Ontario. He specializes in wholesaling, flipping, and coaching clients through real-world deals using a hands-on apprenticeship model.     Make sure to download our free guide, 7 Questions Every Passive Investor Should Ask, here. Key Takeaways Nathan transitioned from door-to-door sales to real estate after seeking a lifestyle with more autonomy and time freedom. He emphasizes real-world coaching through deal partnerships, not just video courses or information dumps. Wholesaling success comes from embracing rejection, refining your sales process, and staying persistent through messy deals. Building savings and having a support system are critical when transitioning into entrepreneurship. Real estate investing should align with your lifestyle goals—not just financial benchmarks.     Topics From Sales Hustler to Rural Investor Started in door-to-door sales before quitting to launch a real estate business with his roommate. Lacked marketing and deal flow at first, but invested heavily in coaching and mentorship to improve. After seven years in the business, he moved with his family to a farm in Ontario, living a slower, intentional life. Lessons from the Early Grind Faced rejections, lost contracts, and failed deals when first starting. Learned that sales tactics differ between products—urgency pressure may work for cable, not for homes. Paid for mentorship after realizing trial-and-error was too costly and time-consuming. Painless Flipping and Coaching Philosophy Teaches students by reviewing live deals, helping them qualify leads, and even partnering on closings. Emulates an apprenticeship model: direct feedback, ongoing support, and real deal experience. Rejects the passive “info-only” coaching model in favor of outcome-driven partnerships. Living With Purpose, Not Pressure No longer driven by money—prioritizes time with family and coaching a handful of serious clients. Believes success is defined by clarity and self-awareness, not vanity metrics or hustle culture. Coaches students to align investing strategy with lifestyle goals from day one.    

Do you reflect on your experiences with self-criticism? In this episode, I revisit a powerful narrative technique called the "Once-Upon-a-Time" technique that helps you gain perspective on challenging situations and cultivate self-compassion. This two-part reflective practice transforms how you view your experiences by allowing you to step back and observe yourself through the lens of a neutral observer.   The technique involves writing about a meaningful experience twice - first from your personal perspective, and then rewriting it as if you're an anthropologist studying someone else's story. Through this process, you discover hidden thought patterns and create space for a more balanced, compassionate view of yourself and your actions.   Get full show notes, transcript, and more information here: https://habitsonpurpose.com/173

Those compelling impulses to check your phone, eat something sweet, or pour another glass of wine often feel like unwelcome intruders in our carefully planned lives.

Living with Purpose: Leadership, Legacy and Building Impactful Relationships by Olajumoke Adenowo

Do you try to fix or suppress your anger, and feel guilty if you can't? Many of us have been taught to see anger as shameful, unprofessional, or even dangerous. As a result, we bottle it up, push it down, and try to ignore it. The cost of burying anger is emotional exhaustion and disconnection from ourselves.    In this episode, I share a different approach to anger – one that views it not as a liability but as a messenger. I offer three powerful prompts to help you relate to your anger differently, allowing you to rebuild inner trust and reconnect with your authentic self without fear of explosive expression.   Get full show notes, transcript, and more information here: https://habitsonpurpose.com/170

Have you ever felt like there's a committee of conflicting voices in your head, each pulling you in different directions? In this episode, I explore a deceptively simple yet powerful approach: treating the different parts of your mind as if they were actual people.    I share a practical pen-and-paper exercise that helps externalize what's swirling in your mind, giving you perspective on your inner landscape. This approach, rooted in Internal Family Systems, isn't about creating multiple personalities—it's about understanding why you do what you do so you can respond intentionally rather than react automatically. By treating your parts like people, you create space for compassion and tap into the wise core of who you are beneath all the mental noise.   Get full show notes, transcript, and more information here: https://habitsonpurpose.com/168

Have you ever wondered what's actually holding you back from changing your most frustrating habits? As a natural problem-solver and detective at heart, I've discovered that our most persistent habits aren't just behaviors to be modified, they're symptoms of deeper burdens our internal parts are carrying.   Today, I'm sharing a powerful framework that offers genuine hope for lasting change. The concept of the Unburdened System, beautifully illustrated by Mariel Pastor, provides a north star for what's possible when we heal the root causes of our habits. This isn't about quick fixes or surface-level strategies—it's about understanding how our internal parts can transform when freed from the emotional burdens they've been carrying.   Get full show notes, transcript, and more information here:https://habitsonpurpose.com/167
