Having It All: Conversations About Living An Abundant Loving Life

What do you feel are the biggest benefits to exercising? Whether or not you’re currently exercising at the level you feel you should, you probably have some thoughts about why exercise is important and what the benefits are. For years my perspective on exercise was one that most of us have: it’s important to keep you healthy and keep your body strong, it can improve your mood, it promotes longevity in life, it provides energy and vitality for a happy life, among other reasons.  But years ago I became aware of a different perspective on exercise, one that completely changed my life when I looked at the world of health & fitness through this new lens.  In today’s episode I’m sharing that new perspective on exercise with you, and I’m inviting you to try it out for yourself and see/feel what this perspective can offer you and your life!  DOWNLOAD THE FREE "TRUST ACCOUNT" APP FROM THE YOURDAY BALANCE GAME Android: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.balancegame.ydbg iPhone: https://apps.apple.com/u

Are you doing what you love in life? Many times a question like this makes us think about turning our passions into a career. Pro athletes come to mind, the men and women who have taken a love for a childhood game and turned it into a lucrative career.  But that’s not the only way to do what you love and live a life with passion. You can 100% live with passion, joy and excitement EVERYDAY, without changing careers or completely shifting your life around (you can of course do that too if you want). In this episode I’m sharing with you some questions to ask yourself that can help you identify your passions and build a life where you’re practicing and living them regularly.  Living life with passion is a key ingredient of “having it all”, and today’s conversation will help you get there!

What crossroads moments has your life contained, and what lessons did you learn?  In 2013 I faced a major crossroad moment. The job path that I had chosen was making me miserable, and each day that I stuck on it I felt more frustrated, more helpless and more like a victim.

Do you find yourself being overly self-critical when someone else's advice just doesn't work for you? I've read, listened to and watched thousands of pieces of self help content over the years, and for a long time I thought that there was something wrong with me when I failed to incorporate someone else's advice into my life. I would blame a lack of discipline, focus, grit, or consistency as the reasons why I never made it past day two on someone else's stellar self help routine. That was until I realized an important truth: their self help is not my self help. What works for others may not (actually, probably will not) work for you. In today's episode I'm giving you one huge piece of advice as you prepare to jump into the New Year that will help you to have a more joyful and successful year.

How do you bounce back when your world gets rocked? When everything seems to be going wrong in your life? When your dreams are shattered? Disappointment is interesting. It can be focused internally on ourselves, or externally on others. But no matter where the focus is, the root of it is some sort of attachment and typically judgement. When you get swept up in the emotions around disappointment, it's easy to be carried off in the direction of disempowering emotions and thoughts. The sequence can go like this: you feel the disappointment, you start to judge or take something personally or get angry or react, which leads you to more fear based feelings and thoughts, which pulls you down further. But spotting this behavior and recognizing it at the moment of the triggering event is key to being able to rise above those feelings and stay in your power, in the face of the disappointment. In today's episode I share with you what inspired me to jump off the couch, grab my mic, and record this very podcast! DOWNLOAD

Have you ever wondered about the source of your self worth and personal value?  Whatever you deem as the source of your self-worth is going to directly influence your behaviors and habits.  If you make your net-worth as the source of your self-worth, then your money will become your focus. Many people do this, and when their money goes up so does their sense of worthiness, however when their money goes down....well, you already know! In today's episode I help you unlock a never-ending source of self-worth, one that you have full control over and can tap into at any time!

Do you have little faith in your ability to achieve your big goals? I used to feel pretty low on myself as it related to setting goals and achieving them. Didn't matter if it was a work goal, fitness goal, money goal or just a life goal -- a part of me seemed to always believe that no matter how much I wanted it, I just wouldn't achieve it The problem wasn't that I didn't know what I wanted. I had PLENTY of things I desired to accomplish (my Big Hairy Audacious Goal list was massive). I was just ineffective at everything AFTER coming up with the goal. I didn't know how to plan, how to strategize, how to help myself overcome my own obstacles, how to check in with my goals, how to be smart with my goals --- none of that. And so 95% of the time I ended up quitting and feeling crappy about myself. Each failed goal made me feel less and less capable, and that led me to set less and smaller goals. Can you relate? In today's podcast I'm tackling the big hairy beast that is GOAL SETTING, and my goal is that this appr
