Have you ever found yourself in a situation where you wronged someone, and they chose to forgive you? It's an indescribable and uplifting sensation, isn't it? Recently, I had the privilege of experiencing this profound power of forgiveness firsthand. Just a couple of weeks ago, I unintentionally offered unsolicited parenting advice to a friend during a challenging time with his son. Recognizing my mistake, I took the initiative to send a sincere apology that evening, and to my relief, I was forgiven. The overwhelming gratitude that followed was truly remarkable. Click below into this week's episode of the "You Can Handle Anything" podcast to delve deeper into the story and discover what transpired. P.S. We may not always control who forgives us, but we do have agency over whom we forgive. Starting Monday, January 15th, I am excited to lead a powerful 4-day "Move Past Grudges" Challenge.

Ever wondered if you could actually choose your feelings, steering them in the direction you desire? It might sound improbable, especially when emotions seem automatic and beyond our control.

Suddenly, I felt calm and capable of enjoying the evening despite the surrounding circumstances.

Ever felt that sinking disappointment when those close to you fall short? Whether it's your spouse, child, co-worker, friend, or even a stranger, the frustration of trying to change them can be overwhelming, only to realize it's beyond your control. The urge to alter someone else often traps you in a cycle of frustration and disappointment. But, the key isn't changing others; it's introspection. Reflect on how disappointment might inadvertently relinquish your power, leading to self-frustration. You don't have to stay stuck on disappointment. Choose to break free, adopting a perspective that serves your well-being. In the latest "You Can Handle Anything" podcast, I explore three stories illustrating the pitfalls of staying stuck in disappointment. Learn how breaking free empowers you to move forward.

We all have those moments when our reactions happen automatically, almost like a reflex. It's a part of being human, a natural thing we do without even realizing it. But guess what? We always have a choice about how we react to the things that bother us. Sometimes, though, making that choice isn't easy, and that's when we need some handy tools to help us make better decisions. Think of it like building a muscle. When we practice responding thoughtfully instead of just reacting, we get better at it. And with the two powerful tools I created, The unSTUCK Method and The CLEAR Way, in your toolkit, you can strengthen this muscle to become more in control of your emotions. The unSTUCK Method is your go-to when something from your past is making you react. The CLEAR Way helps when you're worried about things that haven't even happened yet. I invite you to join me in my LIVE group coaching program, "React Less, Respond Better," where I guide you through these tools step by step, tailoring them to your specific trigg

If you've ever felt like people were judging you based on how you look, the way they react, or what they say, you're not alone. It's easy to get upset and defensive when this happens. I recently faced a situation like this when I received an unexpected email. Instead of reacting quickly, I used The unSTUCK Method to respond thoughtfully. I realized that just because someone says something about me doesn't make it true. These situations are common, but it's powerful to remember that we can choose what we believe about ourselves, regardless of others' opinions. I want to share my story and inspire you.

I'm turning 50 this month, and I've chosen a unique way to celebrate - by sharing the gift of music with the world. I'm passionate about composing music, and I've written many tunes over the years. However, most have never been professionally recorded or shared. For my 50th birthday, I've set an ambitious goal: to record and release one new tune every week for 50 weeks. It's an exciting journey ahead. But I need your support. Professional music recording has costs, and I can't cover them all alone. I'm already 40% toward my goal, but time is running out - just 10 days left. If I've made a positive impact on your life, whether through challenges, retreats, workshops, or this podcast, please consider supporting my musical journey, even with a single dollar. I promise to keep sharing my teachings and inspiring you to navigate life's emotional challenges while giving back to the world. You can support my birthday musical journey by clicking here. Thank you for being part of this amazing journey.

I recently had such an experience, a fleeting encounter that could have soured the moment if I hadn't employed my trusty tool, The unSTUCK Method.
