The Simplifiers Podcast

When was the last time you felt like you were in flow state? You know, that feeling you get when time seems limitless, your creative juices and ideas are free flowing, and your energy is buzzing at a higher vibration. Has it felt like forever? Well if so, you’re going to love today’s conversation.

My special guest today is The Brain Guy - Scott Robinson and he’s simplifying how to get into the flow. He believes in one simple truth: whatever you are looking to achieve in life, it’s your brain and your nervous system working together that control your life’s outcomes.

Therefore, when you tap into your subconscious mind (which accounts for 95% of your total brain processing), you unlock a higher intelligence that’ll help you quickly and easily transform stress, resolve trauma faster, and get back to thriving. So, more joy, satiated contentment, pleasure, and abundance on a deeper level... These are all the things you can experience when you get in the flow.

Here’s how.

My special guest today is Scott Robinson and he’s simplifying how to get into the flow.

We tackle and simplify all aspects of it, including:

• How he defines “flow state” and what’s actually happening in your brain when you’re “in the flow”
• What effect stress has on the brain and the body and how to spot it
• Athletes train to achieve “high performance” - he shares what he has learned whilst working with them, specifically with understanding the brain as the “control center” in conjunction with the nervous system
• ...and ultimately, he talks about the subconscious mind: what it is, how it works, and (finally) understanding that it is governing your actions and (in my words) your “1000 daily choices.” When you do, you can change your life for the better.

This conversation was so cerebral and deep, I’ve decided to split it into two parts. Part one this week and part two next week, so we all have time to simmer on the ideas he shares, talk to others about it, and see what small changes you can make in your work and life that’ll help you get into the flow more often.

So make sure to have a journal and pen handy while listening to this one. I’m fairly certain you’ll want to jot down a few things along the way, as did I.

Bottomline, when we achieve flow state, our life is buzzing with possibility. I’m thrilled to share this conversation with you and look forward to hearing what you think about it all soon!

Q: Are you ready to get into the flow? If yes, this one is for you.

It’s time to #DoTheThing!

Do you wish you could sleep better at night? Insomnia, anyone?! Welp, relief is on the way because we’re talking all about sleep on today’s episode!

My special guest today is health coach Shae Leonard and she’s simplifying how to sleep better at night. Whether it’s stress or something else that’s keeping you up at night, Shae leads us through seven simple steps to course correct that’ll have you sleep like a baby in no time at all.

Here’s how.

My special guest today is Shae Leonard and she’s simplifying how to sleep better at night.

We tackle and simplify all aspects of it, including:

• How she defines “sleep hygiene” and why it’s so important to focus on this right now
• What the first step is to improve your sleep hygiene to help you sleep better tonight
• What the 7 fundamentals for great sleep hygiene are and how these simple shifts can make a positive impact in the long run
• Everything we need to know about “full-spectrum light” - what it is and why we need to avoid it 1-2 hours before bedtime, plus she shares a few healthy alternatives
• Why we need to avoid amping up our brains at night and those sneaky ways we do it without even knowing it
• ...and ultimately, why it is important to “quiet your digestion” at night - how to do it, starting tonight.

It’s crazy to think that the majority of people are going to be fast asleep at 2am tonight in your neighborhood and city. Like the whole world powers down to rest, all at once. If you’re someone prone to late night brain whirling or you seem to be tossing and turning for no reason at all, I hope today’s conversation really gives you some tools to try out tonight.

And let us know what worked! I’m always keen to hear from listeners on what you’re learning from the podcast, testing out in your own life, and seeing results in simplifying... reach out on Instagram @thesimplifiers, tag us, DM me... I’d love to hear from you!

Q: Are you ready to sleep better tonight? If yes, this one is for you.

One of the hardest things to grapple with in life is realizing when you are at the root as to why you are NOT cultivating healthy relationships. Have you ever found yourself chasing unavailable people or constantly welcoming toxic patterns in people, over and over and over again? If so, how do you break the cycle?

My special guest today is Brianne Davis and she’s simplifying how to cultivate healthy relationships, both personally and professionally. If you’ve found yourself in relationships that are flat-out exhausting or ones that make you feel ‘less than’ or never enough, this one's for you. Brianne helps light a way out of that destructive behavior by sharing what she’s learned over her lifetime as a sex & love addict.

Here’s how.

My special guest today is author Brianne Davis and she’s simplifying how to cultivate healthy relationships.

We tackle and simplify all aspects of it, including:

• Maybe the best way to tackle this topic is to define what an UNHEALTHY relationship looks and feels like, first. What the warning signs are that you might be in an unhealthy relationship
• Brianne’s story when she realized she was a sex and love addict - what that term means and at what point she hit rock bottom in her life
• What the recovery process looks like for sex and love addicts, and which resources have been most valuable for her along the way
• Why she has ‘10 rules to live by’ that help her create and maintain healthy relationships - we took a deep dive into 2-3 of them
• ...and ultimately, how to create better boundaries for yourself in relationships, both personally and professionally.

Earlier this week, we shared part one of this conversation, all about how to tackle mansplaining in the workplace. My goodness, what a HOT TOPIC that one was for y’all! There is nothing more cringy than when it happens to someone nearby, huh? And it’s no fun to be on the receiving end of it either. Not an easy topic to simplify but one worth examining as a collective to dismantle it for good.

Now, if you haven’t heard part one, go back and listen to that one first. But if you’re ready to continue on, let’s pick back up here with my conversation with gender equity expert Dr. Kimberly DeSimone as she simplifies how to tackle mansplaining in the workplace.

It’s time to simplify...

Here’s how.

My special guest today is Dr. Kimberly DeSimone and she’s simplifying how to tackle mansplaining in the workplace.

We tackle and simplify all aspects of it, including:

• First things first, she defines the term ‘mansplaining’ and how it’s different from someone being condescending or just interrupting. She tells us a bit of the history behind this phenomenon, culturally, especially in American culture
• Why some people discount mansplaining when it occurs and what a better response might be
• What the three things you can do to interrupt this bad behavior either when it happens to you or someone on your team
• • Acknowledgment
  • Amplification
  • Allyship
• How to respond when mansplaining happens to you from a prospective client vs. your vendors/suppliers vs. your team members/subordinates
• ...and ultimately, she shared some clever strategies to help you be prepared and avoid getting flustered when it happens.

Thanks again for being such a devoted listener to The Simplifiers Podcast. You know me, I don’t shy away from the hard topics to simplify... I find they make for the most challenging and engaging conversations!

When you hear an episode like today’s on the podcast that potentially pokes a nerve, talk about it with someone else.

Gain their insight and don’t be afraid to say, “hey, I heard this thing on The Simplifiers Podcast... is that a thing you’ve experienced as well?” Spark a conversation - you might be surprised with what you learn. This is how we all grow and evolve.

Q: Are you ready to tackle mansplaining in the workplace? If yes, this one is for you.

Let’s do a guided visualization exercise together: here’s how to visualize a new path for your life. Something that I love doing with my coaching clients is to lead them through guided visualization exercises and the thought occurred to me, “why not do these on the podcast, as well?!” So in today’s mini episode, I’m going to lead you through a guided meditation and visualization that’s going to help you tap into your inner wisdom and Intuition for answers.

Listen and participate in a guided visualization exercise: how to visualize a new path for your life. One final whisper

This year, I want to encourage you to remember... most answers that you seek are already inside you now. Whether you believe in God or a higher power or something else at play here, just remember this deep inner wisdom can be found inside you now... and any time you feel lost, overwhelmed or stressed.

Just slow down, tune in with your body and your breath, do this visualization exercise whenever you need it, and ask.

Gone are the days of looking outside yourself for a magic pill or a guru on a pedestal to fix us.

This year, consider the simple idea that your Intuition knows. Your body knows. Your brain and your heart know. And it’s all waiting for you to simply ask, trust, and then decide to take daily, imperfect action by making Bold Asks.

To visualize a new path for your life, it’s just a matter of slowing down and listening to what your soul truly wants and where Source truly needs you next.

You can do this, I believe in you.

It’s time to SIMPLIFY.
