A few weeks ago, I recorded an episode of the podcast called “Freedom From Your Emotional Pain.” You can find it at  if you haven’t listened to it yet. Within that episode, I shared the following quote: "Consider that every painful emotion you have ever experienced has been self-created by resisting your reality. It's never the thing we think we're upset about that's actually upsetting us. It is our resistance. When you accept reality exactly as it is, you are at peace.” This turned out to be one of the most shared episodes of the podcast I’ve had in a long time, and in addition to some very positive feedback, I also heard from a few people who were in pain and very upset about that quote. They understandably interpreted it as me meaning that our pain is our fault, when my meaning is really intended to identify and overcome the root cause of the pain itself. Today, in order to help clarify and expand on this message, I’m reading you a chapter from one of my all-time favorite books: Loving What Is by Byron Katie and sharing my interpretation of her message, and how I’ve personally implemented it into my life. In my opinion, Byron Katie understands better than just about anyone how to greet emotional pain with acceptance and love, and find peace within it.

342: How to LOVE Your Life – Exactly As It Is

When I was younger, I made a decision about my diet that forever changed my life: I will value the impact that food has on my body above the taste. At first, nothing changed overnight, but that decision gradually became my guiding principle so much so that I rarely put anything in my body that doesn’t add value to my health and energy. When it comes to our health, and building our immunity to avoid viruses, disease, and illness, what we eat is arguably the single most important decision we can make. This year has made it more obvious than ever that the United States is the sickest nation in human history, and many people are being drastically affected by preventable illnesses. However, with all this instability comes an incredible opportunity to change. Researcher and bestselling author, Shawn Stevenson—who joined me on the podcast previously to talk about his book Sleep Smarter—has just released his new book, Eat Smarter: Use the Power of Food to Reboot Your Metabolism, Upgrade Your Brain, and Transform Your Life. Today, Shawn joins me to talk about the astounding problems with our healthcare system, the importance of diet and exercise in illness prevention, and the major cultural changes that need to happen to help us become a healthier society. KEY TAKEAWAYS  The major underlying issues affecting the health of so many people right now that aren’t being discussed - and what we can do about it. How the COVID-19 pandemic has amplified the effects of years of ignoring chronic illness. How stress and uncertainty make us physically sicker by suppressing immune function. How to improve and optimize your gut bacteria and the other microorganisms that inhabit your body.

351: How to Eat Smarter and Optimize Your Health with Shawn Stevenson

I’m not sure if our world has ever been this divided. From my vantage point, I’ve never seen so much judgement, condemnation, hatred, and vitriol toward one another, especially between people of different belief systems.&nbsp; The reality is that we’re all human beings. We’re all part of the human family, and no matter how our beliefs might differ from one another, we’re all a lot more alike than we are different. We all want to be happy, to be healthy, to have freedom, to feel safe, and to feel respected. Inspired by a Facebook Live session I did last week, today’s episode is about the consequences of judging and condemning others, the power of unconditional love (and why it’s not the same thing as tolerating harmful or abusive behavior), and how this radical gesture has the power to help us heal the world. During today’s conversation, here’s what you’ll learn:  The consequences of judging others based on your own life experiences. Why human beings have so much more in common than we do differences. How unconditional love can heal the world, beginning with healing yourself.&nbsp; How do you love someone who has wronged you?&nbsp; Trading in your judgement for empathy. The difference between blame and responsibility.&nbsp; What it means to be part of a human family. Why putting labels on people makes it impossible to appreciate, respect, or love them.

360: One Thing You Can Do to Heal the World

If I were to ask you to recall the best moment of your life, what comes to mind…? I think most people would recall a significant event or occasion, such as the birth of a child, their wedding day, running a marathon, or the day that they got to ______ (fill in the blank with some exceptional experience). For most, the best moment would likely be an event or circumstance and the positive emotions they experienced as a result, which prompts them to identify it as their best moment. But what if the best moment of your life wasn’t measured by external circumstances? What if it was something you chose rather than something that occurred randomly? If that were the case, could one choose to make any, or every moment the best moment of their life? Might that be possible? And if it was possible to choose to experience any moment as the best moment of your life, if you had that ability, what would be the repercussions of using that ability daily? How might it impact the quality of your life? Today, we’re exploring this idea of the best moment of your life; what it’s about, if we have the power to create and experience it, if it’s left to chance, and if it’s random. I’m also going to share why people struggle with implementing this concept, and how you can overcome the struggles in a way that can significantly and immediately enhance the quality of your life. Ultimately, in this episode I share how you can begin experiencing any moment as the best moment of your life—literally—even during extremely difficult circumstances. Key Takeaways  Why pitting external circumstances against the internal experience is key to achieving inner freedom—and why inner freedom is (arguably) more important than your external circumstances. How to create your inner experience during trying and emotionally painful times. The power of accepting the moment as-is to invite emotional peace, inner peace, and emotional freedom. How to be an island of sanity for the people closest to you in chaotic times. Ways to make any given moment the best moment of your life and live in a state of perpetual fulfillment.

382: How to Make EVERY Moment the BEST Moment of Your Life

Few books have made as profound an impact on my life as much as Love Yourself Like Your Life Depends On It, as that one book quite possibly saved my life (literally). You’ll hear why that is today on the podcast, as I had the opportunity to engage in a highly anticipated conversation with the author of one of my all-time favorite books, Kamal Ravikant. Most importantly, you’re about to discover why loving yourself – actively and unconditionally – may be one of the most important things you can do, if not the single most important thing. Few understand this as well as Kamal. After his company in Silicon Valley collapsed and the love of his life left him, he fell into a deep depression. With his ego destroyed and his heart broken, he made a vow to love himself, then set out to do it - and this work changed his life. He shared his journey in a short self-published book, . Almost half a million copies later, he joins the podcast to share how to take self-love from an empty-seeming platitude into a meaningful daily practice that has the power to transform your life in ways you may not even be able to imagine, as it has transformed mine. &nbsp; Get The Full Show Notes To get full access to today's show notes, including audio, transcript, and links to all the resources mentioned, visit  &nbsp; Subscribe, Rate &amp; Review I would love if you could subscribe to the podcast and leave an honest rating &amp; review.

407: My Best Advice to Make 2022 Your Best Year Yet! (Part 1 of 4)

Sometimes “How’s life?” can be one of the most challenging questions to give a straight answer to. It’s like, Uhh, which part of life are you referring to? When life is difficult, are you able to stay on track, keep sight of your goals, and keep your priorities in order? Or do all the things that are bringing you down leave you feeling exhausted, stressed out, and discouraged? It’s easy to feel like what used to work isn’t working anymore, or you don’t have the support you need, and that we’re constantly playing catch-up with a world that won’t stop changing.

495: How to Overcome Feeling Overwhelmed (In 3 Steps)

Are you like me (and most people) in that you have strong attachments to things going the way you want them to go? Consider the areas in your life where you may be holding on too tightly and trying to control the outcome.&nbsp; What would happen if, instead, you chose to surrender and trust the flow of life just a little more? Last week I mentioned that I was re-reading one of my favorite books, Michael A. Singer’s The Surrender Experiment. And I’ve noticed that I’ve been struggling to surrender lately, so I thought I’d share my journey of getting to a place of surrender with you today. You’ll learn why surrendering isn’t about sitting back and doing nothing. When we actively choose to surrender to the flow of life, we often find clarity, peace, and unexpected opportunities. This means there is less stress from trying to control everything and more joy from experiencing the genuine moments life offers. KEY TAKEAWAYS  It’s not about the events in life, it’s about how you interpret them. The power of looking at challenges as opportunities for growth. The key to unlocking our potential often lies in places we least expect. The tighter we hold, the more we lose. Dance with life's rhythm, don't dictate it. Why letting go leads to deeper connections.
