104. Summer Session 4: Complacency is a Disease with Tony Jalan
Explicit content warning
08/10/23 • 42 min
This week’s Summer Session takes it back to March 2022 for the conversation with Tony Jalan. He and I talked about motivation, problem solving, owning where you are in life, and practicing intentional gratitude. Tony really got me thinking about the whole concept around intentionality.
I’ll never forget that after we stopped recording, Tony shared with me that one of the stories he told from his childhood, he had never shared before. That’s the cool thing about the intimacy of a podcast studio.
One of the key takeaways from this one was There’s not a point in anyone’s life where you’re above asking for help. Even the highest level coaches and leaders have coaches and mentors. Everyone needs someone to pull them up.
This episode is sponsored by Zen Rabbit. If your life is a bit of a mess and you feel caught in a storm with chaos swirling around you, check out the new Staying Calm in Chaos program. It’s 10 short audio sessions of tools and techniques to help you find peace of mind. No matter what life circumstances are throwing at you.
Comes with five awesome meditations. And there’s a bunch of other #calmplimentary stuff – like mandala coloring pages, templates for writing gratitude notes, and 52 weeks of inspiring activities to maintain your chill throughout the year. Because how many more days in a row do you want to say “Arg, today was a cluster-f*ck. Tomorrow will be better?”

105. Summer Session 5: Tap Into Your Intuition & Own Your True Self with Brigitte Baker
Going back a few months to February 2023 for this Summer Session. My guest is my very own animal communicator, Brigitte Baker. We're learning how she uses her intuitive abilities to strengthen the bond between humans and their companion animals.
Brigitte's journey to embracing her gift was not without its challenges, as being around animals and their pain was initially too much for her to handle. After years of societal pressure and feeling like she didn’t fit in, she had a turning point and found the courage to own her unique qualities. Listen as Brigitte inspires you to embrace our individuality and live authentically.
