In this conversation, Eli Weinstein interviews Vincent Infante, a therapist and life coach who shares his unique approach to helping clients optimize their lives and feel empowered. They discuss the importance of giving grace to others and the limitations of therapy and coaching. They also explore the daily grind that can lead to burnout and ways to alleviate it. The therapist emphasizes the positive intent behind negative emotions and the need to be curious about them. They also discuss the power of mindset shifts, breaking out of diagnoses, and rephrasing language to separate oneself from emotions and experiences. In this conversation, Eli Weinstein and Vin discuss the importance of separating psychological disorders from personal responsibility. They mention Dr. Amen and his work on brain scans to understand mental health. They also talk about the prevalence of making excuses in today's society and the need to take ownership of one's actions and emotions. Vin shares his personal journey of breaking free from victimhood and the importance of honesty and self-awareness. They discuss the five aspects of mastery: thoughts, emotions, behaviors, actions, and language, and how they can be controlled to create a more intentional and empowered life. Takeaways Give grace to others and be flexible when scheduling and rescheduling appointments. Therapy and coaching have their limitations, and a hybrid approach that combines aspects of both can be more effective. Negative emotions have positive intent and can be indicators of deeper challenges or problems. The daily grind can lead to burnout, and it's important to find ways to alleviate it. Rephrasing language and separating oneself from diagnoses can help create possibilities for change and overcome negative experiences.

Summary:Relationships are at the core of every interaction. Whether you're an entrepreneur, anemployee, or a parent, learning how to build strong relationships that last and evolve over timeis key. This week on the Simple Talk, host Wayne McCullough speaks with guest DavidScoggins, a business and life coach and fellow podcaster who shares ideas for creating a morefulfilling work-life balance and achieving stability on the job and at home.It takes work to build a solid foundation and maintain it over time, Scoggins says. Each of thefive Fs -- faith, family, friends, fitness, and finances -- require dedication and perseverance, sopeople should be prepared to spend time and energy on these key components. But that hardwork will be rewarded with a strong support network and base for other aspects of life, as well. Itcomes down to taking ownership of your decisions and actions and holding yourselfaccountable for how you walk through life and how you relate to those walking alongside you.This Week's Takeaways:-Give people space to change over time-Ask others how you can help them-Don't shy away from hard work-Take ownership of your decisions and actions-Focus on building good relationshipsQuotes:“I think part of my ultimate mission here is to bring a faith perspective into the personaldevelopment and bring the personal development perspective into the church, and I don't thinkthat's an easy thing.” -David Scoggins“That's really been a joy, being able to see … how people who've really, really been hurt byeach other and been hurt by the way they approach their relationships, how they can heal andhow they can grow together and how they can flourish and persist.” -David Scoggins“If we were in a sports team or if we were playing a musical instrument, even if you were playingas an amateur, you were not getting paid for it, you would practice and you would practice on aregular basis. But then you show up for marriage and you've not practiced anything, You showup for a relationship and you've not practiced anything other than whatever you practiced inprevious relationships. We don't get even one class on how to do relationships right.” -DavidScoggins“Whatever is in your life that you don't like, whether it's your marriage or your financial situationor your body or it's how you feel, an emotion you have or a thought you have, it didn't comefrom nowhere.” -David Scoggins“The more we can understand where things come from, the more power we have to work withthem.” -David ScogginsContact:You can get in touch with David Scoggins via email at david@scogginsgroup.com.

This week we're discussing content marketing, why it's uniquely suited to the manufacturing industry, and how to get started. Highlights: [3:30] Kasim shares his definition and philosophy of content marketing. [6:30] Learn the answer to why content marketing is uniquely suited a manufacturing business. [9:20] Three steps for a manufacturer to get started with effective content marketing. There's a difference between the target demographic and the person or avatar you want to speak with. Define the avatar you want to reach and communicate with. Determine what information your avatar needs to make a buying decision. Find the context, where do your avatars congregate? [18:15] Content marketing is a hard sell, content creation is easier. Leave the word 'marketing' out of it when selling the idea to leadership. Interview Questions: Question 1: As promised to our audience, Kasim, let’s start by clearing up any misconception about the definition of content marketing. What is it and please share an example or two. What’s the difference between digital marketing and content marketing? Question 2: You made an interesting comment to me before the podcast. You said that content marketing is uniquely suited to the manufacturing industry. Why is that? Question 3: Let’s get to the practical side, implementation and execution. Let’s say there is a CMO of a mid-size manufacturing company out there listening. He’s bought in to the idea but, admittedly, has no idea about how to get started. What are the first 3 steps to take? Question 4: Content marketing is not easy. Many times there are culture changes within the manufacturing organization that have to occur. What about those companies where the owner or CEO is the authoritarian type not open to new ideas? What are some tips that marketers can use when they are up against strong culture or a strong, unbending leader? Challenge Question: This week our challenge question is right in line with our podcast topic. Here it is. “I’m the CMO of a medium size manufacturer where we make industrial outdoor signs. We created a 20 page ebook about the different types of signs, but very few people are downloading it. We know it’s a great piece for our customers because we asked a few of them. What could be going wrong? What are some tips for getting more engagement? Thanks! By the way, loved your book.” Keep first encounters for engagement on a more casual basis. An ebook is later in the relationship. Splinter the ebook into smaller segments for awareness and engagement. Review the conversion process, starting with the form friction. Takeaways: Give value to your audience on a regular basis. Value is in the perception of the audience. Don't be afraid to fail. If you're not embarrassed with your first iteration, you didn't release it soon enough.
TEXT John 6:1-5 TAKEAWAYS Give something away this week Thank someone for their excellent customer service For one day, answer the phone every time it rings no matter who it is BENEDICTION Lord, turn our praises into hands that clothe the naked, arms that comfort the afflicted, tables that host the stranger, and shoulders that support the weary so that your name may be praised by those who live and die with their backs against the wall. Amen.
TEXT Psalm 8 TAKEAWAYS Give people a chance. BENEDICTION Occupy Our Calendars by Walter Brueggemann Our times are in your hands: But we count our times for us; we count our days and fill them with us; we count our weeks and fill them with our busyness; we count our years and fill them with our fears. And then caught up short with your claim, Our times are in your hands! Take our times, times of love and times of weariness, Take them all, bless them and break them, give them to us again, slow paced and eager, fixed in your readiness for neighbor. Occupy our calendars, Flood us with itsy-bitsy, daily kairoi, in the name of your fleshed kairos. Amen
Do you relate to yourself as a constant self-improvement project and find yourself overdosing on personal growth? Maybe, you should take a little break to enjoy life. Being in a state of learning and growing is different than coming from a place of “I need to fix me”. You can not be fixed because you are not broken. Self-love includes accepting and being gentle with our inner critic when it pops up. We are human. We are not going to love everything about ourselves at all times. Self-love is a daily practice of forgiving ourselves so we can take responsibility for our actions without beating ourselves up. Today’s caller, Aly, wants to move into acceptance of an illness but she is attempting to do it with a lot of judgment about herself and not from a place of love. Women endure a lot of negative energy and pain about their bodies. Practice appreciation over criticism and pay attention to the gifts your body brings, rather than the way it looks. If you really want your body to look different, commit to treating it differently. Be mindful of the food and substances you fuel it with. Be committed to moving it in a way that keeps it healthy and fit. Our relationship with our bodies boils down to choices. If you have a disorder, illness or are going through a job loss, what are you making it mean about you? We can not always control what happens to us but we can control what we make it mean. You can approach it from the orientation of being a true seeker rather than a fix-it project. Being a constant learner allows you to look at the most challenging things in your life through the lens of “What is my soul seeking to learn from this?” And, be cautious of always being right about your story. Be honest with yourself about how attached you are to your story. Often, people don’t think they are able to change their story, but they may just be attached to it. We need to believe we have the power to shift our relationship to our stories. Pay attention to your “if-then” scenarios. Believing in “When I do this, I will be that” is conditional acceptance. I am putting together all of my best tools and resources for you. My video course is coming out in October and it will focus on acceptance — because acceptance is the first law of spirit. My gift to you is to be on the list for the first announcement and for the early bird discount. Visit ChristineHassler.com/VIPlist to sign up.

Aly's Question: Aly has spent many years trying to get rid of chronic disease and would like to know how to accept it and get unstuck. Aly's Key Insights and Aha’s: ● She feels she is not good enough ● She can’t seem to accept who she is ● She is afraid to be happy ● She uses her weight as a happiness meter ● She abuses herself and feels guilty about it How to get over it and on with it: ● She needs to realize she is not broken ● She should get the anger out by writing letters to the guys who broke her heart ● She should write an apology letter to her body ● She should give her body a love bath every morning ● By realizing she is proud of herself Assignments and Takeaways: ● Give yourself permission to write an F-U letter — write it and then destroy it. ● Write an apology letter to your body using these sentence stems: ○ I’m sorry because… ○ I’m learning from you that… ○ I forgive myself for… ○ I forgive you, body, for… ● Give yourself a body love bath. ● Make self-honoring choices and make new agreements with yourself.

Our dreams come from our inner wisdom and our wants come from our ego. We all have things that happen in our lives, which create fear, uncertainty, doubt and self-limiting beliefs. Often, we try to ease the pain of those things by chasing after something. For example, if you are really hard on yourself, then you may spend a lot of time wanting someone else to love you. You have a high want for a romantic relationship or you have a parent who was really hard on you or only validated you for your accomplishments, and you may have grown up with the feeling of unworthiness and high want for money and success. Ego-based wants come from feeling ‘less than’, and then searching for something or someone to fill the void. These kinds of wants are not coming from an authentic place, because at the authentic self-level we know that absolutely nothing is missing. The want is coming from our ego. When we obtain our ego-based wants, they only give us a temporary sense of satisfaction. They do not cure the deep longing we feel for worthiness, belonging and love. How do we know something we are longing for is not an ego-based desire but a true dream we must pursue? It comes down to the feeling of longing, which we feel in our heart, not in our head. Our dreams are a psychic prediction of what is coming; we feel a deep longing to experience something because we know that on some level, it is our destiny. We can’t always control the form and timing of it and that is where suffering can come in. It is imperative we pursue our dreams on the level of essence, not form; and we focus on the feelings we long to feel rather than try to make it happen or get attached to how we think it should happen. An example of this is, perhaps you feel a longing to make an impact on the world. You feel a deep desire in your heart, which is almost painful when you feel you are not doing it right now. Instead of trying to figure out what business to start to make a difference, focus instead on the feelings you want to feel and then begin to take aligned actions in that direction. Set the intention every day to be of service and ask to be used as an instrument of impact. Look for the simple ways to make an impact right now. When it comes to dreams, waiting is not a good idea. Take action now to move you in the direction of how you want to feel and what you want to experience. The biggest roadblock to going after dreams is fear. Nothing silences the voice of your inner wisdom more than doubt and fear. Honor your dreams and stop being so scared. Today’s caller, Anya is scared and feels guilty about wanting to go after her dream because it was not her original plan. I invite all of you to join me in September 16-22 for my retreat in Bali will include meditation, yoga, one-on-one coaching and the finest conversations with like-minded women. I will also be available for personal sessions. E-mail Jill@ChristineHassler.com for information on how to join the festivities or to join me in July for my signature retreat. Consider/Ask Yourself: ● Do you know what your dreams are? Are you terrified to go after them? ● Do you feel stuck because you do not know how to turn your dreams and longings into actual steps? ● Are you concerned that if you don’t go after your dreams soon you will spend the rest of your life regretting it? Anya’s Question: Anya has been feeling lost because she is passionate about acting but she is afraid to follow her dream. Anya’s Key Insights and Aha’s: ● She feels the pressure of the expectations others have of her ● She is embarrassed that her dream is different than her education ● She needs to take the first step How to get over it and on with it: ● She can give herself permission to stand for her dreams ● She should communicate her dream to others ● She needs to take the first step ● She should write a list of all the reasons acting is important to her Tools and Takeaways: ● Give yourself permission to pursue your dreams ● Write down a list of reasons why your dreams have value and are safe to explore ● Change or update your story to include what matters most to you ● Get fully behind your dreams with intention Sponsor: Onnit Wellness - Receive a 10% discount on your purchase when you order through this link (Including my favorite Alpha Brain).

This call is for all you do-ers and over-achievers out there. We find ourselves in a time in which we wear our busyness like a badge of honor. We define ourselves by what we do. And when something we define ourselves by, such as a job, goes away we find ourselves with an Expectation Hangover. An Expectation Hangover is disappointment. It’s when one of three things happen: 1.) Something doesn’t turn out like we planned 2.) Something does turn out like we planned, but we don’t get the feeling we thought we would have 3.) Life just throws us an unexpected curveball My coaching session with Lisa today uncovers her Expectation Hangover as a huge opportunity for her to just be. If you would like coaching from me in an upcoming episode, contact me at christinehassler.com Consider/Ask Yourself: Can you relate to being busy all the time? Do you often use busyness as a distraction? Do you panic during times when you aren’t busy? Do you have a busy life, but not a fulfilled life? Is it challenging to receive loving support, including financial support from a family member? Are you paying attention to all the things which are going right for you when you experience an expectation hangover? Lisa’s Question: Lisa feels she has accomplished a great deal this year. She completed her MBA, got married and will soon be moving to a new city. During her job search, she is encountering some rejection and the disappointment that goes along with it. Lisa’s Key Insights and Aha’s: ● She kept herself busy as a distraction ● She relies on herself too much ● She doesn’t have to handle so many things on her own ● She has her worthiness attached to having a job How to get over it and on with it: ● Ask yourself what am I learning during this expectation hangover? ● Surround yourself with your soul friends and family ● Give yourself full permission to relax and let go ● Break up with the idea that you are what you do ● Press pause on the goal line and re-orient yourself to the soul line Tools and Takeaways: ● Give yourself permission to stop chasing results ● Get a copy of Expectation Hangover and work through the exercises and guided meditations ● Ask someone for support ● Take some quiet time for yourself ● Make an agreement with yourself to just be Resources: Christine Hassler
We can want to do things in life but just wanting is not enough. Are you committed to really taking the steps to get there? Difference makers have commitment and discipline. Passion is not enough. If you feel stuck, invest in yourself, take risks and learn to be comfortable with uncertainty. One thing we need to commit to is shifting our internal states and stories, which means updating our beliefs to get into alignment with what we want. Remember, our outside world is a reflection of our inside world. In this call with Gail, she is at a crossroads when she is thinking of leaving a more analytical job to pursue a more creative path. She is getting mixed messages and whether “just follow your passion” is good advice for her to follow. We cover those topics in the call along with a conversation about how her logical mind is an obstacle – and how to make it more of an ally. Please keep your comments and questions coming. It’s so exciting to connect with you. Consider/Ask Yourself: Does your logical and reasonable mind get in the way of hearing your intuition? Do you think you have to know all the steps of your plan before you can take a step? Are you confused about the messages the universe is sending? Do you feel too “in your head” most of the time? Would you say your inside world is the reflection you want to project to the outside world? Do you feel you are in vibrational alignment with that which you want to attract? Gail’s Question: Gail recently left her corporate job and wants to move into a more creative role. But she feels like she is getting mixed messages from the universe. She asks for Christine’s insight. Gail’s Key Insights and Aha’s: ● Gail needs to trust her creative skills ● Her energy shifts when she talks about her desired career ● She needs to satiate her creative hunger ● Understanding she’s on a journey ● She needs to feel the vibration within herself How to get over it and on with it: ● Get in vibrational alignment ● Give yourself permission to explore ● Self-acknowledge and connect yourself to the passion ● Feel into things instead of figuring them out Tools and Takeaways: ● Give yourself permission to pursue something you are passionate about ● Practice vibrational manifesting ● Get in to your creative ● Ask for support along your journey in the form of prayer Resources: Association of Transformational Leaders Christine Hassler
