Does it ever feel like everything in your life is all mixed up (finances, health, discipline, etc.)? Most agents focus on moving from a state of “dis-ease” to “wellness,” but I'll tell you, wellness isn't where you want to be. Greatness is achievable, and in this Mindset Monday, I'll let you know what it takes to get there.
Happy Mindset Monday!Your insecurities aren't the problem.Hiding them is.In this powerful conversation, I sit down with Tyler Dickerhoof, leadership mentor, founder of the Impact Driven Leader, and author of "The Things We Hide."Tyler introduces the Four Walls framework: inactivity, insensitivity, isolation, and intensity. These are the barriers we build when our insecurities get triggered. The goal isn't to remove your insecurities or tear down your walls. It's to put windows in them.Tyler shares the story of losing his brother Joel in a farming accident when he was 14, and how 25 years later he discovered that tragedy shaped the way he handled everything: with intensity. Head down, push through, leave carnage in relationships.This conversation gets vulnerable. Tyler opened up, and honestly, it broke me open too. I realized I've been hiding behind being "the expert" instead of letting people actually see me.
Barry shares a powerful motivational message after announcing that guest speaker Dr. Billy Alsbrooks could not attend due to a family emergency.

Barry also shares the story of Alsbrooks' personal transformation, from a successful rapper to a motivational speaker after enduring years of panic attacks following the sudden loss of his father.Through stories of resilience, affirmations, and visualization practices like digital vision boards, this episode reminds listeners that challenges often become the foundation for personal growth and purpose.
Have an episode suggestion? Text us!A lot of people believe that once the drinking or drugs stop, life will finally start to feel better. But for many people in recovery, the opposite happens at first. The chaos disappears and what's left can feel like a huge void. No excitement, no purpose, and no clear direction.In this Mindset Monday episode, we'll talk about why that happens. Addiction hijacks the brain's reward system, which is why early recovery can feel flat, boring, and emotionally heavy. Sobriety removes the destruction, but it does not automatically rebuild a life.This episode also speaks directly to spouses and partners. Many of you think that once the addiction stops everything should go back to normal. Instead, you may find yourself staring at the life you've been surviving for years and wondering who you are without the chaos to manage.We'll discuss the science behind this stage of recovery, why both people often feel lost at first, and what actually fills that void. Community, purpose, contribution, and rebuilding a life that feels meaningful are what turn sobriety into something worth protecting.Sobriety isn't the finish line. It's the starting line for building a completely different life.Find video clips and full length video from this episode on YouTube and our other social media pages!On the web:www.twfo.comSupport the Show:Buy Us a Coffee!

Maintenance Mindset Mondays is all about cracking open the conversation about what REAL maintenance looks like – beyond the scale and deep into personal transformation. Join Gina and Odette as they dive into the week's focus, share insights on all things maintenance, and answer your questions. Whether you're new or experienced, there's something for everyone!This week, Gina and Odette focus on the role of awareness and self-regulation (and what that ACTUALLY means). As The Program evolves and snacks are adjusted, they explain how these changes help members move away from eating out of habit and toward paying attention to what their body actually needs. They encourage listeners to check in with themselves throughout the day and recognize personal patterns around hunger, routine, and timing. This conversation highlights that lasting weight loss comes from learning to trust your body, tune into its cues, and develop the self-regulation skills that support choices long after the program ends.You can find the full video hosted at:https://www.facebook.com/groups/ginalivymaintenanceandmindfulnessTo learn more about The Livy Method and our Maintenance & Mindfulness group, visit livymethod.com.

Barry delivers a powerful training using the diamond formation process as a metaphor for personal and business success. Just like diamonds are formed under intense pressure and heat before being refined and cut to reveal their brilliance, true success requires discipline, patience, consistency, and resilience.He challenges agents to embrace challenges as part of the refining process rather than avoiding them. Barry also highlights the importance of mentorship, accountability, and viewing setbacks as course corrections instead of failures.This episode is a reminder that the pressure you feel today may be shaping the strength and value you'll carry tomorrow.

Have an episode suggestion? Text us!This episode is a direct conversation with the person who's still drinking, still using, still bargaining, or quietly telling themselves they're fine while their life feels smaller than it should.It was originally created for spouses to share with their partner, but over time we realized something: this message isn't just for the people loving someone through addiction. It's for the person in it.Matt speaks from lived experience, not theory. He walks through the fears that keep people stuck, the lies we tell ourselves about alcohol, and the real cost of staying the same. This isn't about shame, control, religion, or being told what to do. It's about honesty. It's about taking a real look at what alcohol is actually giving you versus what it's taking from your life, your relationships, and your potential.We talk about masculinity, accountability, legacy, early recovery, and why you can't fix this alone. This conversation is uncomfortable on purpose, but it's also hopeful.If something in you knows there's more to life than this cycle, this episode is for you.Find video clips and full length video from this episode on YouTube and our other social media pages!On the web:www.twfo.comSupport the Show:Buy Us a Coffee!

Join Gina and Odette as they dive into the week's focus, share insights on all things maintenance, and answer your questions. Whether you're new or experienced, there's something for everyone!In this episode Gina Livy and Odette sit down for an honest conversation about what it really takes to keep going when the work gets real. Together, they unpack the pressure so many women have carried since their teens to shrink themselves and challenge the outdated diet beliefs that chip away at self-trust. The focus shifts to building belief in yourself, even on the days you feel off, and learning to be authentic and real about what's coming up instead of pushing it down. It's a grounded, relatable reminder that this journey is about showing up as you are, trusting who you're becoming, and backing yourself every step of the way.You can find the full video hosted at:https://www.facebook.com/groups/ginalivymaintenanceandmindfulnessTo learn more about The Livy Method and our Maintenance & Mindfulness group, visit livymethod.com.

If you want to elevate your business, it starts with upgrading the way you think and feel about money.

But once you accept it, everything shifts. Suddenly, you're free. In this Mindset Monday, I'll share the three words that changed how I approach every difficult moment in my life.

Despite the holiday season, the podcast continues to gain momentum—now reaching 3,000 downloads per month, with Mindset Monday leading as the most popular show. This week, Dan focused on a powerful theme: self-investment as the key to long-term success. Dan shared how some of his biggest breakthroughs—rental properties, hiring an assistant, attending transformative events—came from making uncomfortable investments in himself. His message was clear: growth requires discomfort, and prioritizing personal development is no different than investing financially. From health and relationships to business and education, Dan encouraged agents to view self-improvement as an investment—not a cost. In a shifting market, those who commit to growing themselves will be the ones who thrive. The takeaway? If it feels uncomfortable but aligned with growth, you're probably on the right track.
You already know that our time on this earth is limited. If that doesn't give you enough motivation to do the things you need to do, I have another question that might. I want you to get serious for a moment, watch the video, and reflect. Then, let's get to work.
Have an episode suggestion? Text us!What if the thing holding you back isn't your past…it's the story you keep telling yourself about it?In this Mindset Monday, I'm coming for limiting beliefs. The quiet “rules” you picked up in survival mode and never updated. The lie that you're not smart enough, not disciplined, not the “type” who gets sober, not the “type” who succeeds, not the “type” who gets a healthy relationship or a fresh start.I break down how these beliefs form (childhood chaos, early failure, being labeled), why they made sense back then, and why they're costing you everything now. Then we run a simple exercise we use in Reclaiming You: find the belief, name the cost, question it, and test it - because new evidence doesn't come from thinking, journaling, or “getting ready.” It comes from action.If you've ever looked at people with their life together and thought, “That's not for someone like me,” this episode is your wake-up call. You're not made of different stuff. You're just still buying the narrative that you accepted wholesale without scrutiny once upon a time.Find video clips and full length video from this episode on YouTube and our other social media pages!On the web:www.twfo.comSupport the Show:Buy Us a Coffee!

Today kicks off something new for the podcast.This week, we're doing our very first Weekly Topic, and the theme is fascia. Each episode this week we will be diving deep into learning all about this topic. But before we talk fascia when it comes to movement, nutrition, recovery, or training… we need to start with mindset!Because fascia isn't just a physical topic.It's a perspective shift.It forces us to zoom out and ask a much bigger question:How are you actually relating to your body?Are you living on it?Or are you living in it?Resources: Brain.fm App(First month Free, then 20% off subscription)Discount Code: coachdamiensdLinks:IG:@coachdamien_sd@damienrayevans@livinthedream_podcast YouTube:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCS6VuPgtVsdBpDj5oN3YQTgFB:https://www.facebook.com/coachdamienSD/

Have an episode suggestion? Text us!In this Mindset Monday, I'm calling out the most common, most immature move men make after they finally start doing the bare minimum: demanding their spouse regulate perfectly while they're still paying off a decade of damage. You don't get to rack up the emotional debt and then complain about the interest rate. You don't get to wreck the foundation and then cry about dust.We'll talk about why spouses can't “just flip the switch” (stress, hypervigilance, betrayal trauma, nervous system conditioning), what actual leadership looks like in repair, and when it does become fair to have mutual accountability conversations (hint: not 30 days in). Tough for the guys. Validating for spouses. Necessary for anyone who actually wants their marriage back.Find video clips and full length video from this episode on YouTube and our other social media pages!On the web:www.twfo.comSupport the Show:Buy Us a Coffee!

If you need a mindset heading into 2026 - this is it. What do you think?
Have an episode suggestion? Text us!Today is a big one. Paige and I are celebrating 25 years together, and I'm recording this Mindset Monday in that headspace, reflective, grateful, and honestly a little stunned that we've lived so many lifetimes inside one relationship.We met at 14. I always knew we'd make it. I just didn't realize how non-linear the path would be, or how much of the turbulence would come from my addiction, my selfishness, and my immaturity. So in this episode, I look back at how we got here, what nearly broke us, and what actually rebuilt us.Then I use that perspective to answer the questions I get from men who are in the darkest part of it right now, the guys who feel like they're about to lose everything. We talk about the moment you stop digging, the fear of getting sober and feeling “boring,” cravings at night, learning patience when the relationship isn't healing on your timeline, and how to carry guilt without letting it crush you.If you're trying to earn back trust, rebuild your life, or become the man you keep saying you want to be, this one's for you.Find video clips and full length video from this episode on YouTube and our other social media pages!On the web:www.twfo.comSupport the Show:Buy Us a Coffee!

Happy Mindset Monday!Overthinking feels like you're being responsible.But most of the time, it's fear keeping you stuck.In this solo episode of Living The Sweet Life, TJ Sweet breaks down why overthinking isn't preparation, it's protection. It's the mind's way of avoiding risk, judgment, and uncertainty.This episode is for anyone who feels mentally exhausted from replaying decisions, second-guessing themselves, or waiting for the “right” moment to move.

From old food rules like cleaning your plate to fears around change and satisfaction, this discussion reframes downsizing as a powerful opportunity to build trust, confidence, and calm around food, not just now, but for real life. It is about learning how to move through challenge without panic, punishment, or quitting, and using that experience to strengthen the mindset needed to maintain your weight long term.You can find the full video hosted at:https://www.facebook.com/groups/ginalivymaintenanceandmindfulnessTo learn more about The Livy Method and our Maintenance & Mindfulness group, visit livymethod.com.

After interviewing top performers who just had unbelievable years, they all said the same thing: “If they can do it, I can do it.” They didn't reinvent the wheel. They found models of excellence, studied what worked, extracted the insights, and put them into action. So as you think about the new year and what's possible for you in 2026, ask yourself: Who are you modeling? Who are you learning from? Life is too short to figure it all out alone. Find excellence, model it, do the work—and watch what happens.
Have an episode suggestion? Text us!A listener posted a question in our free TWFO Facebook community that I've heard a hundred times in recovery spaces: “You have to separate the person from the addiction. That wasn't them.” And I get why people love that line. It reduces shame, makes forgiveness feel possible, and gives families hope.But for a lot of spouses and partners, something about it doesn't sit right… because they've seen the “good version” and the “destructive version” show up in the same human body, sometimes in the same day. So in this episode, I unpack the pros and cons of “separating the person from the addiction,” and why I think the truth is more nuanced, more uncomfortable, and more useful.We talk about influence vs choice, why guilt still exists if “it wasn't you,” how this narrative can accidentally silence the pain of the people who were harmed, and why sobriety alone is not the finish line. I'm not here to attack anyone's path or shame anybody who's used this framework to move forward. I'm here to hold compassion and truth at the same time, and offer a model of recovery that's built on agency, humility, and real repair.If you're in recovery, this is a gut-check. If you're a spouse or partner, this will validate why that phrase can feel like a mindf**k, and what a healthier, more honest version of healing can look like.If you'd like to read the essay from the episode, you can find it here on our website.Find video clips and full length video from this episode on YouTube and our other social media pages!On the web:www.twfo.comSupport the Show:Buy Us a Coffee!

Let's talk about laziness.Because almost everyone listening has said this at some point:“I know what I should do [Blank]… I just don't do it.”And the story we tell ourselves is: “I'm lazy.” “I lack motivation.” “I'm just not disciplined like those people.”But here's the reframe I want to offer you today:What if laziness isn't a character flaw at all? What if it's just a thinking habit—paired with a bad system?Because when you actually look closely at people who seem “immune” to laziness… They're not more motivated than you. They're not grinding off sheer willpower.They've just built their lives so that action is the default.And today, I want to show you how to do the same.Resources: Brain.fm App(First month Free, then 20% off subscription)Discount Code: coachdamiensdLinks:IG:@coachdamien_sd@damienrayevans@livinthedream_podcast YouTube:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCS6VuPgtVsdBpDj5oN3YQTgFB:https://www.facebook.com/coachdamienSD/
Loneliness has changed.Not because humans have changed—but because the way we connect has changed.In this solo episode of Living The Sweet Life, TJ Sweet explores why loneliness feels different today than it used to—why you can be “connected” 24/7 and still feel unseen, unknown, and emotionally alone.This is an honest conversation about modern isolation, emotional safety, and what it takes to build real connection again—starting with the relationship you have with yourself.

In this episode, Barry challenges the traditional idea of time management and introduces a more effective approach: activity management. He explains why time itself can't be controlled, but our behavior, choices, and priorities within the day absolutely can. Using sports analogies like clock management, Barry breaks down how intentional decisions—not excuses—determine productivity and results. Barry dives into prioritizing high-value activities, eliminating distractions, and setting clear boundaries to protect focus. He explains how to distinguish intentional, income-producing actions from reactive or avoidance activities, and shares practical tools like the Pomodoro technique and digital boundaries to improve daily execution. This episode is a mindset and strategy reset for agents who want to take ownership of their time, focus on what truly moves the needle, and build consistent momentum in their business.
Have an episode suggestion? Text us!In this Mindset Monday episode, the discussion takes on a common belief from men that sounds reasonable on the surface but falls apart under scrutiny: “Why should I have to change? You knew who I was when you married me.” The episode unpacks why this thinking misunderstands adulthood, freezes responsibility, and treats growth as betrayal. It explores why qualification never ends in any area of life and why relationships are no exception.From there, the focus shifts to shame and its role in change. The episode challenges the idea that shame is always harmful and reframes it as something that can either fuel growth or shut it down, depending on how it's handled. It breaks down the difference between toxic shame and healthy shame, how ego protection keeps people stuck, and the exact moment where real growth actually begins.The episode closes by distilling growth into a simple truth: the degree to which someone can grow is directly proportional to the amount of truth they can accept about themselves without running away. If you're trying to rebuild trust, show up better in your relationships, or stop repeating the same patterns, this episode offers both a reality check and a path forward.Find video clips and full length video from this episode on YouTube and our other social media pages!On the web:www.twfo.comSupport the Show:Buy Us a Coffee!Online Program: www.independentlystrong.comSoberlink Device:www.soberlink.com/wheelsCheck out our blog:https://twfo.com/blogFollow us on TikTok:https://tiktok.com/@twfo_coupleFollow us on Instagram:https://instagram.com/twfo_couple/Follow us on Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/TWFOCoupleFollow us on YouTube:https://www.youtube.com/@twfo_coupleFind Taylor Counseling Group:https://taylorcounselinggroup.com/Donate to Counseling for the Future Foundation:Donate Here
“Send Coach John a message”Today being the day that we are honoring Martin Luther King, Jr., I found a post from Jon Gordon (@JonGordon11) and his #MindsetMonday thoughts shared this quote: “If you can't fly then run, if you can't run then walk, if you can't walk then crawl, but whatever you do you have to keep moving forward.” What a powerful reminder for every single day, but especially today! I found this catching my eye for many reasons - one for sure is that I need to keep moving forward in my attempt to not let negativity, anger, hatred, etc., enter into my heart and mind. Too much of the BS out there that I unfortunately let into my life and I can't let it go. This morning was no exception. People I know, like and thought I respected, keep putting stuff out there that simply sets to tear apart and cause trouble. I will keep moving forward, however I have to, so that I can keep encouraging others, putting out things that help people on their life's journey, along with trying to balance out the “crud” that people put out there. One of the things that I remind myself of is that the people that put out the “crud”, are really sharing what they are all about, the problems they have in life, the hurt they are going through, etc. It's worth my efforts every day for sure!

Burnout isn't always a workload problem.Sometimes it's an alignment problem.In this solo episode of Living The Sweet Life, I share my perspective on the real reasons burnout happens—especially for people who care deeply, lead others, and carry a lot behind the scenes.This isn't just about rest. It's about what you've been ignoring, tolerating, or trying to prove.

Have an episode suggestion? Text us!In this Mindset Monday, I'm walking through a handful of quotes I found in an Instagram carousel and breaking down what they actually mean in real life. Not the fluffy, motivational poster version. The version that applies to sobriety, rebuilding trust, leaving the wrong situation, and becoming the kind of person who doesn't just “get sober,” but actually grows up.We talk about why becoming your best self requires a lot of goodbyes, why you can't heal in the same environment that made you sick, and why waiting for perfect conditions keeps you stuck. We also get into fear, stoic ideas that helped me in early recovery, and the truth behind “this is what hard feels like.”As promised, check out the IG post hereThen at the end, I answer a listener question about early sobriety and marriage: her husband is 90 days sober, wants affection and feels like she's “mean,” and she's asking for concrete examples of how I rebuilt safety, stability, and trust so desire could return. I'll share exactly what I did, what I would focus on at 90 days, and why nobody gets to demand closeness they haven't earned.Want to submit a question for a future episode?

Have an episode suggestion? Text us!In this Mindset Monday, Matt drops a handful of hard-earned lessons from the last month, pulled straight from the notes app, the place where the real thoughts live before the world distracts you out of them.He breaks down why boundaries are one of the most misunderstood concepts in relationships, and why they rarely fix an emotionally immature person, but often do deliver the clarity you have been avoiding. Then he tackles a brutal question for anyone stuck in justification mode. If the behavior is working, why do you keep trying to cut back, manage it, or quit in private?From there, Matt offers a permission slip a lot of people need. There is a difference between processing your pain and keeping it alive. Healing matters, but constantly revisiting the same trauma can become its own kind of trap. And finally, he goes after a sacred cow, acceptance. Yes, acceptance can save your sanity and build resilience, but it can also turn into complacency and keep you tolerating chaos you should not have to survive.If you are in recovery, in a relationship affected by addiction, or on the other side trying to rebuild your life, this episode is a gut check in the best way. Clarity over comfort, wisdom over coping, and growth that actually moves you forward.Find video clips and full length video from this episode on YouTube and our other social media pages!On the web:www.twfo.comSupport the Show:Buy Us a Coffee!Online Program: www.independentlystrong.comSoberlink Device:www.soberlink.com/wheelsCheck out our blog:https://twfo.com/blogFollow us on TikTok:https://tiktok.com/@twfo_coupleFollow us on Instagram:https://instagram.com/twfo_couple/Follow us on Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/TWFOCoupleFollow us on YouTube:https://www.youtube.com/@twfo_coupleFind Taylor Counseling Group:https://taylorcounselinggroup.com/Donate to Counseling for the Future Foundation:Donate Here

As we close out one year and open another, now is the time to get very clear about your direction and who you want to be over the next 12 months. There are a few questions you need to take the time to answer, including “What will be the theme of your 2026?” In this Mindset Monday, I'll explain what that means and how to do it.
130K+ listings are set to expire in January. Why then do so many agents not work expireds? It's hard to understand, because these are the people who need your help most. I'm not talking about working them; I'm talking about helping them get on with their lives. In this Mindset Monday, I'm sharing the top seven reasons listings expire and how you can do better.
Can you think of where you learned work ethic from, or maybe where you learned laziness? In those memories is a lesson, and behind every lesson is a choice.
