I'm Over Personal Development
BOTH/AND
12/29/21 • 25 min
Can I be honest with you? I'm over personal development.
In this episode, I'm doing an experiment, in favor of vulnerability, and sharing something I wouldn't normally share, which is, I'm so done with the personal development industry.
I'm tired of gurus preaching toxic positivity, and 5AM morning routines, and hustle mentality. Personal development has become really impersonal and doesn't match up with human evolution.
Tune in to hear my full explanation and let me know if you've ever felt the same way!

This is going to kill me. Have you ever said those words or something similar?
I'll never make it through this.
This is too hard.
I can't do this.
All of these and so many other thoughts are rooted in this idea that somehow, we won't make it through our next hard situation. Somehow, it's going to get us.
But wait, you have a 100% Survival Success rate. That's good odds if you ask me. So what would it look like to know this deeply and let it influence your thoughts and behaviors? Listen to find out.

The Direction Inside of You
BOTH/AND
09/22/21 • 23 min
Until we learn to see our inherent value and worth, we spend so much time looking to everyone else for direction. We look for who we should be, how we should act, where we should go, and what we want to be based on others' ideas. When we do this, we end up chartering a path that isn't for us.
Inside (maybe deep inside) you know what you want your life to be. You know your dreams. You just haven't started to listen to what's within you for direction and guidance.
Listen in to hear about a phrase Gentry wrote in his journal back in January 2020 and what it means for you: "You can keep the course, without the map. You can charter the waters, without the stars, because the direction you need lies inside of you already."

Shame Has No Place In Your Life
BOTH/AND
09/01/21 • 29 min
Shame is an experience, not a feeling, and it's time we ditched it forever. Shame has no place in our lives. In this episode, I share about my religious upbringing and the ways it created shame for me, plus what shame actually is (probably not what you think), and what we can do about it.

Learning to Embrace What Is
BOTH/AND
06/08/20 • 20 min
On today's episode, we're talking about a lesson I had to learn in order to show up for all that was happening around me. Here's the lesson - we can learn to embrace the good with the bad, the happy with the sad. It's not either/or. When we learn to hold both simultaneously, we can fully experience our life in bigger and better ways.
I used to try and ignore, deny, and suppress the parts of life I didn't like. The problem was that I spent so much time and energy fighting off the bad, that I didn't show up for the good either. When I finally stopped trying to ignore the bad and instead made space for it in my life, I found that the bad would pass so much faster.
There are three steps I've identified to move from a place of pushing away anything I didn't want to embrace, to fully embracing all that life offers.
- Awareness - This is step one and all about making space for what is. Without awareness, life is happening to you instead of for you.
- Acceptance - We think if we avoid the bad and hard, then life is full of good and happy. 100% BS. Ignoring something doesn't make it not real. You have to learn to accept whatever is happening to you and around you.
- Allowance - The final step is learning to fully allow whatever's happening in your life. If we try to push away the bad, it will resurface at a future point, but if we learn to allow it in our lives, it often moves through us and away from us much faster.
If you want to show up for your life completely and create results that matter, you have to learn to embrace ALL that is. You can do this.

It's Okay To Have Regret
BOTH/AND
04/07/22 • 21 min
I’ve often heard people say, “I don’t have regrets.” I’m pretty certain I’ve said that myself many times. It’s almost like there is an undercurrent in our current culture that says regret is bad and shameful. But what if regret is helpful. What if having regrets is actually the most healthy thing we could do.
But tell me, why is it that when we’re looking back and observing our life, we say we don’t have regrets? Why has having regrets become shameful, instead of normal? And can we say with 100% honesty that there isn’t a single thing we look back at and wish we acted differently or behaved differently, or feel sad about, or disappointed by? Let’s talk about that.

What if there was a way to get everything you wanted? Better yet, what if you could get it with minimal effort and ease? Enter manifestation. It's become a hot topic in the personal development world. As people become more open to the woo (the more mysterious parts of life), manifestation has become a technique in and of itself. In some situations, it's replaced the effort needed to reach the success you desire. I tried it for myself, and I'm here to share all the lessons I learned. Bottom line, it didn't work, but it's not all bad. I did pick up some strategies that I love, but manifestation is flawed in its current cultural understanding. So let's talk about that.

Have you ever been asked, whether directly or indirectly, to become less than who you are or to minimize parts of your personality, your power, your influence, or your skills? In other words, has anyone ever asked you to stop shining so brightly?
We live in a world where it's become far too common for people living in the shadows to sabotage those shining bright. It's time to recognize the shadow dwellers for who they are and remember that the shadows are not your home.

Have you ever been at the receiving end of someone just "speaking their truth?" They might have also said something like, "I just have to own my truth." It's relatively common language now, and while I believe the original intent behind "speaking our truth" is outstanding and pure, unfortunately, I think it's just become an excuse to avoid responsibility for our actions. So, speaking our truth - is it helpful, hurtful, or healing? Let's talk about that.

My wife and I often didn't have the words we needed during our darkest season of infertility. In the midst of disappointment after disappointment, a cycle of manufactured hope turning into lost hope, grief, and anger, our life together felt like a constant dark night of the soul. Well-meaning people would often attempt encouragement by saying something hopeful or optimistic. In other words, they were trying to find our silver lining. But what that experience taught me is finding someone else's silver lining isn't helpful, and there is something better you can do. Let's talk about that.
