I took a break this weekend from the culture of victimhood. I saw how much I am surrounded by it every day. 

Society can fool us into thinking that things need to be big to reach our goals. They don’t. There is a more powerful way for us to get to our happiness.

Sometimes we feel we need to prove ourselves to others. Needing reassurance from others can become problematic. In today’s podcast, I explain why. 

Today I want to tell you a story about performing for 10,000 people and how I accidentally learned to manage my nerves. 

A lot is stripped away when we cannot live our lives in the way that we are used to. It can lead us to ask some deep questions about ourselves. 

When I was a child, I love the story of The Good Samaritan. However, in the busyness of our lives, we can often lose the art of kindness. 

Niksen is a Dutch word for a practice that I love to do regularly. In today’s podcast, I explain what it is and how you might use it to help you relax.

Once again, we find ourselves in a place of opportunity. We have the chance to deeply consider what is important to us.

I have been seeing more and more over this last week that people are struggling. Let’s talk about solutions-based thinking. 

Is it possible to eliminate the difficulties in our lives? I am often asked this question. So it's time for me to answer. 

The most powerful thing you can do is to get to know your unique self. It has been one of the most significant opportunities that we have been given over this last year. 

One of my students posted a saying on one of our groups the other day. It said You’re never too important to be nice to people. Self-importance is usually a mask. 

I have had a bit of a tumultuous last few days. I was travelling, and my little covid free island nation has gone into lockdown. It’s reminded me of the importance of taking care of each other. 

What do you do if you find it hard to think of people in your life who love you? I answer this question from one of my students in today’s podcast. 

From the moment we wake up until the moment we go to sleep, we interact with our phones. Today, we look at how to shift that into a healthier place. 

Being present with other people is even more difficult today. And yet, this is precisely what we have missed so much during this pandemic.

Social media apps on our phones suck us in. That is what they are designed to do. Let’s talk about it. 

Email sucks our time, our energy and is a huge distraction when we are working and not working. How do we manage email on our phones and in our daily life?

Today we look at the “emergency” scenario, the reason so many of us feel we need to keep checking our phones. How do we manage that? In today’s podcast, I’ll give you some tools to help you. 

We're all guilty of spending too much time on our phones. It's a common struggle. You can't go more than a few minutes without looking at your phone. You're addicted to checking it, and it doesn't matter how many times you tell yourself not to look at it, you still do. You may not even realize how much time you spend checking your phone--but if we're being honest with ourselves here (and we are), this is one of those things that we all do more than we should. We are unconsciously attached to our phones. We don't know how often we check them or how much time we spend on them, but it is a lot. In today’s episode, we are going to continue our conversation about the relationship we have with our devices and how to lessen the time we spend on them.

Today we begin an exploration around your relationship with your phone. I hope you’ll find this helpful. 

Often, our minds can trick us into believing that we need to have significant extraordinary experiences to be happy. In today’s podcast, I will explain why this is not the case.

How do we cope when something happens in our lives that give rise to big emotions? We must find a balance so that we don’t suppress or indulge in whatever is going on.

If you are trying to motivate yourself to achieve something, it can be constructive to look around you. You might see something right there to support yourself. 

When we begin to work with ourselves, sometimes things can seem to become worse. All that is happening is that we are a little bit like a pair of dirty socks.
