This week, I'm excited to share something transformative I just learned from the book "Coming Alive" by Barry Michels and Phil Stutz. Have you ever felt so completely demoralized that you couldn't see a way forward? That crushing feeling when you believe nothing will ever get better? I've been there too.In this episode, I'll talk about a powerful tool from this book that can gently pull you out of those darkest emotional spaces and reconnect you to hope, resilience, and even joy. Through the story of Ann, a woman devastated by another failed relationship, we explore how we often chase external solutions (like the perfect partner) to fix our internal emptiness, only to find ourselves more disappointed when they don't deliver the salvation we crave.Here's what you'll learn from this episode:• How to identify when you're caught in the trap of "false hope" and why external achievements, relationships, or possessions never fill the void we think they will• The simple 5-step Mother Tool practice that can lift you out of demoralization and reconnect you to your inner strength, even when everything feels hopeless• Real examples of how this tool has helped people transform their creative blocks, unhealthy relationship patterns, and even approach chronic pain with renewed resilienceWhen we're at our lowest, what we need isn't logic or problem-solving – we need love. That's exactly what the Mother Tool helps us access: an unconditional, nurturing presence inside ourselves that sees our worth regardless of our circumstances.This practice isn't about fixing your external situation; it's about shifting your emotional state so you can show up to life with clarity and strength. Because when you reconnect to that loving presence within, you discover the resilience to keep going – not because things are perfect, but because you're loved.Join me for this heart-opening episode where I walk you through exactly how to use this tool in your own life. And if you're craving more connection and growth, remember that my Flying Higher mentorship program offers weekly classes, coaching, and a beautiful community of almost 300 women supporting each other's journeys. You can learn more at joinflyinghigher.com.

Some books don't just land—they arrive exactly when you need them. True and False Magic by Phil Stutz and Elise Loehnen has been that book for me. It's more than just a workbook—it's a guide for facing life's unavoidable challenges: uncertainty, hard work, and pain. If you've read The Tools, this one goes deeper, stitching together familiar ideas like the Life Force, Part X, and the Realm of Illusion into a practical, repeatable system. I've been recommending it to friends nonstop because it's not just inspiring—it's actionable. If you're navigating a tough moment or looking to reconnect with your inner drive, don't skip this one.

This year feels like a major transition—for all of us. In this vlog, I reflect on how I'm navigating change through creative work, personal rituals, and a few powerful tools that have grounded me lately: therapy, yoga, journaling for manifestation, and Phil Stutz's True and False Magic. I open up about the big deadlines ahead for The Arbiters, reviving my filmmaking how-to book after a ghostwriting setback, and the poetic freedom I'm exploring for my next novel. Plus: thoughts on burnout, the cost of always seeking “cheaper” solutions (including over-relying on AI), and why rest might be more revolutionary than we think.

FAN MAIL--We would love YOUR feedback--Send us a Text MessageWe've all heard the advice: "Just change your attitude!" But what if that's not enough? In this eye-opening exploration of Phil Stutz and Barry Michels' groundbreaking book "The Tools," we discover why attitude adjustments often fail where specific behavioral tools succeed.The frustration cycle is familiar—we commit to change, but our behaviors remain stubbornly the same. As Stutz and Michels powerfully state, "A new attitude means nothing unless followed by a change in behavior." This episode unpacks their revolutionary approach to personal transformation through five distinct psychological tools designed to combat specific challenges: the Reversal of Desire for confronting pain and avoidance, Active Love for releasing anger, Inner Authority for building confidence, Grateful Flow for shifting to gratitude, and Jeopardy for maintaining motivation through consequences.What makes this wisdom particularly fascinating is how these modern psychological techniques quietly echo traditional Judeo-Christian virtues—a connection we explore while examining the practical applications of each tool. Whether you're struggling with procrastination, fear, anger, or lack of confidence, these tools offer concrete procedures to implement at the exact moment you need intervention. This isn't about passive enlightenment; it's about active engagement with your challenges. As we emphasize at the Mojo Academy, the goal isn't just to collect wisdom but to move from theory to action, creating real and lasting changes in our lives. Ready to build your psychological toolkit and transform those good intentions into meaningful behavior change?Key Points from the Episode:• Attitudes alone cannot control behavior—specific procedures are required for specific problems• The Tools presents five practical psychological techniques developed by psychotherapists• Reversal of Desire helps confront pain and avoidance to take action• Active Love releases anger through cultivating forgiveness • Inner Authority builds self-confidence by connecting with inner strength• Grateful Flow shifts from negativity to gratitude• Jeopardy encourages sustained effort by visualizing consequences of inaction• These tools parallel traditional Judeo-Christian virtues despite secular presentation• Consistent application of these tools transforms theory into actionBe sure to check out our show page at teammojoacademy.com, where we have everything we discussed in this podcast, as well as other great resources.Other resources: Want to leave a review?

In this month's solo episode, I spend some time thinking about why psychiatrist Phil Stutz observed that I'm holding myself back. And why I have a hard time with the idea of marketing, or promoting, my own work. I also share more about Phil's concept of Part X—which gives you problems that you don't need, and solutions to those problems that only make it worse. I think about how my own Part X has changed; and why it's currently trying to convince me that I'm too good, too righteous, too pure…to be fully engaged. And, how, when we put ourselves in motion—when we go for something, even if we get knocked down—it's an opportunity to truly grow and learn (which Phil would call an opportunity to “meet the father”).

I had the great honor of writing a book with legendary psychiatrist Phil Stutz. Now that True and False Magic is out, I got to ask him about some of the concepts that have remained on my mind: the lie of certainty, the purpose of creativity, why some of the hardest parts of life are also what makes it compelling and fun, and why he believes I should be 10 percent more evil (and maybe you should, too).

For December's solo episode, I looked at the etymology of the word resolutions. What I found might surprise you. And instead of thinking about what I want to be or do next year, it got me thinking about what I want to let go of. And how I can recognize when I'm making things more complicated than they need to be (I love complexity and depth but can sometimes get carried away). I also get into a few other things that are on my mind right now, including: journal speaking, how we sometimes conflate altruism with transaction, the MAHA movement, and ways I can be softer on people while being harder on systems. Last, some news about two of my most fulfilling collaborations, which are both coming out in workbook form in 2025: True and False Magic (with Phil Stutz) and Choosing Wholeness Over Goodness (with Courtney Smith).

It all started with an email… An email to someone this morning, saying that I think my marathon running career might be over.Why would I think this? Because on the weekends, I just don't want to run upwards of 15 miles. I don't feel like putting in the time, or the effort.I said that I just like running 5-7 miles per day… which, in the immediacy, is true. However here's what I've observed:When I don't run the 15s on the weekends, the 5s during the week are much harder and less enjoyable. In essence, I have to do the 15s to love the 5s.That reflection perfectly complimented my listening to Steve Chandler's The Story of YOU on my run today. He said that if you told someone to “go have fun on the piano,” how much fun they'd have is basically tied to how much work they put in.He said this beautiful line:“The connection of work and fun is always hidden away by advertisers and other peddlers of instant pleasure".”I tend to attract clients who desire “exoneration.” This is the land of hunky dory, where everything is just blissful rainbows. That place doesn't exist- but this one does, and if you're up for 30-ish minutes of motivation and a re-introduction of, wait for it, THE GET THE F*CK OFF PODCAST (because the new name sucked anyway,) I am here for it.Monologues all around.

Inspired by the Netflix documentary “Stutz”, these 3 unavoidable aspects of parenting are actually unavoidable aspects of life. They're universal truths that we all have to deal with as humans. You'll Learn:The 3 unavoidable aspects of parenting (and life)The lies we tell ourselves that keep us doing more, more, moreHow to cope with pain, uncertainty and constant work as a parentWhy the inevitability of these 3 things is actually a huge reliefWe will all experience pain, uncertainty and constant work. It's part of life as a human. If we know that these things are inevitable, we can stop fighting against them and find more peace. I'm sharing tips to help you do just that - and guide your kids to do the same.---------------------------------------This podcast was inspired by a Netflix documentary I watched recently called “Stutz”. In it, therapist Phil Stutz explains three unavoidable experiences that we will all have: pain, uncertainty and constant work. 3 Unavoidable Aspects of ParentingAs I was watching, I realized that these 3 things are also true of the parenting experience. I actually found it to be a relief that no matter what you do or who your kids are, pain, uncertainty and constant work are unavoidable. If we know that these things are inevitable, we can stop fighting against them and find more peace.PainIn this context, I think of pain mainly as emotional pain or psychological discomfort. It might look like grief, anger, anxiety or a combination of emotions. Pain can be brought on by actual situations of loss, rejection, disappointment or trauma. It can also come about simply through the nature of being a child's caregiver. Your kid is also going to experience pain. We can't protect them from all painful experiences, but we can give them the tools to be able to handle the discomforts and pains of life. And while pain is inevitable, it is not constant. It's a short-term experience. Suffering is when we dwell on that pain and keep bringing it back up. We don't need to create this unnecessary suffering for ourselves. UncertaintyThere are a lot of unknowns in parenting (and in life). We can try to plan or predict what's going to happen, but we never really know. The real underlying fear with uncertainty is that something will happen that you won't be able to handle. So you try to predict and plan and run scenarios through your mind. But this puts you in an anxiety spiral, because you're trying to solve an imaginary problem. Constant WorkThis isn't about your job, though that is one part of it. Just to live as a human, you have to take care of your body - eat, drink, clean yourself, etc. Caring for your emotional and spiritual health and your relationships also takes work. Plus, there's the caregiving aspect of parenting. When your kids are little, it can feel relentless. You are using your body to care for them all the time. You're picking them up, carrying them, cleaning up messes. Then between the ages of 6-12, the work shifts to your head. You're problem solving, managing schedules and so many details. In the tween and teen years, the work moves to your heart. During this time, there is a lot of worry and feeling for your kid as they go through tough times. This is also where a lot of uncertainty comes into play. The Brain's TricksI bought into a lie that I could avoid uncertainty with constant work. My brain tricked me into believing that if I was really, really productive and managed everything, that the future would be settled. So I was hyperplanning, overworking, controlling and not letting others do things. But the truth is that uncertainty still happened, and when it did, I would get really...

Psychotherapists Barry Michels and Kristan Sargeant lead this special episode—part workshop, part conversation—on the shadow. (Michels is perhaps best known for cowriting The Tools and his pioneering psychotherapy work with his coauthor Phil Stutz, which Sargeant continues to evolve.) For them, the shadow is the tool that has the potential to bring about the greatest growth and transformation. How to begin to use it? Today, they walk you through getting to know your own shadow—the parts of yourself that you've rejected or pushed deep down into the unconscious. They show how your shadow can become an incredible source of wisdom. And a conduit to living as your full, authentic self. (To join their work on the shadow, see their upcoming event lineup.)
