The TRUTH Behind Extraordinary Results. Hello dear listeners, welcome to another episode of In The Moment with Alex Manzi! I'm your friendly neighborhood mind sherpa. I was thinking recently that... most people see some extraordinary results, achievements, and think that they're something supernatural. Out of this world. In fact, extraordinary. I had the same feeling with a friend of mine that recently ran a marathon. To me it seemed impossible. But... is it true? Because I've found out......

WAITING VS CREATING: How Embracing Action Has Changed My Life. There's a substantial difference between living while waiting and living with creating. I spent many years of my life waiting.

From Burnout To Breakthrough: The Power Of Taking A Break. Are you sure you're taking the quality Time Out that you need? I, for one, was convinced that was resting when actually... what happened was: I was spending all my free time thinking about the tasks I needed to do during my Time In.

Maybe, sometimes, it's as easy as deciding to take a nap, and listen to our inner wisdom... 00:00 Intro  01:09 "Free Your Mind" retreat 02:33 Quality Time In...

Hello everyone, in this episode of In The Moment I'd like to give all of you some tools to get out of anxiety and depression, and I want to start from my own life story. I can't believe it was 10 years ago when I was living constantly in depression. Like a fish in the sea, I didn't know what water is... I was just living in it, in my depression, believing it was the norm. Only after a breakdown I realized that I needed to change. In particular, I want to explore 3 key principles that have...

The Truth About Communication In A Relationship: Unlocking One Key Secret.

How 1,000 Pieces Of Lego Taught Me To Love The Creative Process. And here we go dreamers, this is Alex, back with a new episode and... here I want to tell the story of how I fell in love with the creative process. Believe it or not, Lego, and in particular building a pirate ship of 909 pieces (yes, not really 1,000 but that looks better in the title LOL) made me realize that the end goal we often have in mind when we want something... it's just not as good as enjoying the process of building...

Hello everyone, I'm back after a bit of a pause after years of this podcast. It's been a moment of change for me, my career and life as a life coach is giving me a lot that I'd been searching for all my life and... I've decided now that I want to give you guys some of the lessons I learned all these years. For starters a hot take: I recently stopped doing meditation after years of daily practice. Let me stop you there before you say anything: meditation is actually good. But the reason why I...

On this week's In Focus session I discuss how the Self can often seem like two separate things: the spiritual side, infinite and connected to everything, and the personal side, which is finite and more connected to our wants and life purposes. Even if these two may seem separated, they're actually one thing appearing as two, and this gives us the freedom to be able to change and redirect our life and our "self".    On this episode I discuss: The separation of self How to use the...

This week's episode is a bit different from the usual. This episode comes from an interview that I did for someone else’s podcast that didn’t go out... but there was so much value here that I needed to put this out myself. I talk about my story, my journey from depression to being a coach, and what interviewing 200 plus guests in my podcast in the last 5 years has taught me about how we all have rock bottom moments that can spark a change in our life, if we’re open to it.  On this episode I...

On this week's In Focus session I discuss how we often need to clear out our mental loft, in order to create new things. Clearing out means making room in our minds to allow us to see the opportunities around us. When we get stuck on some ideas, some stories that we believe about ourselves, that we consider permanent in our life... these can often turn into limitations. Even when we perceive these as strengths. Because they stop us from changing.  On this episode I discuss: Clear out...

On this week's episode I chat with the amazing Andrew Murnane, which you may know from his TikTok account (where he reached 1 million followers), or as the co-host of the Dualistic Unity podcast. In this conversation with Andrew we discuss happiness, the labels that limit our reality, being in the moment and finding your freedom in life.  In this episode we discuss: Andrew's story How he got 1 million followers on TikTok Suffering and control You are the present More, different, better...

On this week's In Focus session I discuss how to create the "easy" in your life. If you want to do new things, or change something in your life that isn't working, or create more opportunities for yourself... you've got to stop making it harder than it is. A thing is harder -or easier- than something else only because we believe it is, because our mind has labeled it as such. If you want to change start creating the easy for yourself.  On this episode I discuss: You can create the easy in...

On this week's episode I'm happy to share this amazing conversation with author, podcaster and entrepreneur Daniel DiPiazza. Daniel has his own podcast "The New Wave Podcast". He has an eclectic mind and together we discuss opening our minds to different levels of consciousness, in particular through our experiences with mushrooms and psychedelics, the discoveries we've made, and how we have integrated these into our daily lives.  In this episode we've discussed: Daniel's...

On this week's In Focus session I discuss how we experience the world around us, our life, through the lens of our thoughts. It's like everyone is constantly wearing a pair of "VR Goggles of Thought", seeing only what's in our thinking. However, we often don't even realise that this is happening.  On this episode I discuss: How you're only ever experiencing your own thoughts Your experience is always created from the inside-out We're living with the VR goggles of thoughts on We don't need...

She's also a public speaker and in 2017 Amy opened The Little School of Big Change, an online school that has helped thousands of people to find freedom from...

On this week's In Focus session I discuss how to forgive yourself and live free from the past and judgement of yourself. In this episode I read some extracts from a Syd Banks audio, something that I've already done in other In Focus sessions. This week, I breakdown the audio "Forgiveness And The Power Of Thought", in which Syd Banks explains how not forgiving yourself means living forever as a prisoner of your past. Of your traumas, of your judgments, of your negative feelings. I've seen...

On this week's episode I chat with Olivia Wynne, international Life Coach and founder of OA Coaching. Olivia is a good friend of mine, and has made her life's goal to live fearlessly.

On this week's In Focus session I discuss about how abundance is everywhere, and how our mind creates limitations. This episode is the third that comes from the insights that I've had in this past month of coaching retreats. This time, I'm talking about abundance and opportunities being around us, and how our mind creates limitations that don't allow us to see this. What happens is: we have a thought that creates a feeling. This feeling is neutral, but the mind will interpret it, label it,...

On this week's In Focus session I discuss how we often suffer needlessly. This episode is the second that comes from the insights that I've had in this past month of coaching retreats. This time, I'm talking about how we create our own suffering, and how this suffering doesn't have to be. Because It's our thinking that separates our feelings in good and bad ones. That creates the conflict we live in: we experience something but we want a different experience based on our judgment of that...
