On the surface, it seems unrelatable and likely boring. Yet, when you begin to grasp its complexities and subtleties, you quickly recognize the similarities between the game of life and the game of golf. This marks the last episode of The Unstuck Yourself Podcast. The why - and my next goal and commitment - are detailed in this episode. Yes - it has a lot to do with golfing, the intricacies of the game and its relatability to achieving peak performance, and a raw and vulnerable look into...

Workaholic. Foodie. Perfectionist. Overachiever. Procrastinator. These are some of the common labels you wear that limit your growth and stunt your progress. The label you carry is how you wish to be seen, identified, and perceived by others. More often than not, it’s created and shared from a place of seeking validation and attention. And, it’s not helping you. In today’s episode, listen in as I break down how your own chosen labels are hurting you, where and why they came to be,...

Your quest for perfection places an unnecessary burden and degree of pressure upon your shoulders. This translates to operating from an emotionally charged state - one in which worry and anxiety continue to strengthen. For many, this is not an advantageous state that leads to producing their best work. Myself included. In today’s episode, I share insight into my own self-talk, fear, and behavior while navigating a recent bout of perfectionism and what I did to break free and achieve a...

I know you want to increase your income. Consciously, you and I both know it’s safe to earn more money.  But deep down, you fear making more money because you don’t belief it’s safe to do so. Sounds silly and irrational, right? Well, that’s how your subconscious operates. Despite seeming irrational, this struggle isn't due to lack of knowledge but rather a mindset issue. In this episode, I discuss the interplay between core fears, limiting beliefs, and self-sabotage, shedding light on...

Just like biting your nails and binge eating are learned behaviors, so, too, are anxiety, negative thinking, and unkind self-talk. Fortunately, these behaviors can be unlearned, too. In today’s episode of The Unstuck Yourself Podcast, I’ll share an easy-to-understand analogy to help you understand how a habit is formed and then introduce you to a powerful tactic to help you stop this bad habit in its tracks so you can replace it with one that serves who you aspire to be. Start listening...

We all have our unique collection of beliefs, behaviors, and stories that we must uncover, unlearn, and upgrade to reach our full potential. And, collectively, this journey unearths strong emotions and feelings that have the potential to stop us dead in our tracks on our quest to be more, do more, and achieve more. In today’s episode, I share one noteworthy trait I’ve observed in some of the most successful people I’ve encountered that has helped them rise above the rest to achieve...

"Every time you're given a choice between disappointing someone else and disappointing yourself, your duty is to disappoint someone else.  Your job throughout your entire life is to disappoint as many people as it takes to avoid disappointing yourself." Read that again. In today’s episode, I use some of my journey (including my decision to say goodbye to The 5% Community after three years) to highlight how detrimental a desire to AVOID disappointing others can be for your well-being. This...

Perfectionism. Type A. All-or-nothing. These collective personality traits - which are merely a group of stories, beliefs, and behaviors - were born to protect you. Yet, at some point, they crossed over from protective to counterproductive. In today’s episode, we’ll talk about how, when, and why the perfectionistic part of you came to be. We’ll explore how it may have once helped you and how it’s now hindering you. We’ll also paint a clear picture of the dark side of perfectionism… ...

In today’s episode, I detail the misunderstanding so many have about gleaning awareness of their perpetual pattern of self-sabotage. Many - including you - fall victim to thinking that the work to achieve this depth of awareness is enough to catalyze the change you desire. But the truth is that this is when the real work that brings transformative change is just beginning.  Start listening now.  The 10-Day Unstuck Yourself Challenge is intended to help you understand where, why, and how...

Your word choice matters. There’s an inherent energy, magic, if you will in your word choice. It’s not a coincidence that the construction of words is referred to as “spell-ing.”  They literally have the power and potential to cast a spell on your energy, actions, results, identity, and reality! If you continue to underestimate the power of word choice on your mood, energy, well-being, and what you attract in life, you’ll continue to fall victim to poor word choices that reinforce what it...

It’s intoxicating and addicting to think about how many interests you have.  You get off on the dopamine rush of ruminating on your interests.  Yet, when it’s time to take action on these interests, you have depleted your energy reserves so much through this interest-based fantasy that there’s nothing left to actually take action in pursuing your interests. You remain stuck in Lala land without ever taking any action. Thus, despite having so many grand interests, your life never changes...

“If you truly wish to be great, you must learn how to conquer fear, or, at least rise above it in the moments that matter.” - Ryan Holiday. You’re not stuck. You’re afraid. It’s okay to be scared. But it’s not okay to be afraid; to be fearful. In today’s episode, I’ll help you understand the key difference behind being scared and being afraid, and help you understand how and why a core fear is the emotional energy fueling the pattern of self-sabtoage you’re stuck in. Start listening! ...

If you’ve ever wondered why you do what you do, even though you know it’s deliberately sabotaging your success… This episode is for you. In today’s episode, I’ll uncover the origin of your self-sabotaging behaviors and help you understand why this behavior continues. I’ll help you gain clarity on why you do what you do, when you learned this sabotaging behavior, and provide action steps to begin unlearning the behavior. Even more, I’ll share a handful of powerful and relatable examples of...

Have you ever wondered why you are the way you are and why you do what you do? Me, too. The answer to both those questions resides in your unconscious mind. And if you wish to change either - who you are and what you do - then you need to unmask what resides in your unconscious mind. Your unconscious mind is home to your emotions, memories, beliefs, habits, and values. If you wish to be more, do more, and achieve more, you must make your unconscious conscious. In today’s episode, I’ll...

When you hear the word HYPNOSIS, what comes to mind…? You may think of someone swinging a pocket watch and saying, "You're getting very, very sleepy..." Maybe you remember seeing people act silly on stage during a hypnosis show, such as clucking like a chicken.  Or, perhaps, all that comes to mind is a man dressed in a black cloak shouting the command “sleep!” at his participant. This type of hypnosis, called stage hypnosis, is meant for entertainment. It involves a charismatic hypnotist...

Do you ever feel like you know what to do, but can’t seem to do it - at least consistently? Then you’re in the right place.  If you’re like most people - myself for a longer time than I care to admit - you struggle to put the information you learn into action. You read books, listen to podcasts, and even hire business or life coaches, yet remain stuck. Trapped. Paralyzed. Spinning your wheels. Along for the ride that is the rollercoaster of self-sabotage: two steps forward and three...

Meet Keri. A 39-year-old mother of two - who’s in the process of going back to school for a graduate degree - who had been struggling with her diet, body image, and relationship with the scale for far too long. In late 2022, she recognized that if she ever wanted to break free of the weight loss-regain cycle, she needed to learn how to put herself first and also address some of the deep emotional hang-ups preventing her from achieving sustainable success. After years of stalking me on...

Society has conditioned you to believe that quitting is a form of failure; giving up.  It carries with it an underlying negative connotation that often leads to you remaining stuck in an uncomfortable position simply to avoid the stigma and potential ostracization from your loved ones for giving up. In today’s episode, I am going to share a different perspective on quitting and how it could potentially be the best thing for you. Whether you’re quitting a diet or workout routine, or, bigger...

The underlying reason you’re struggling to lose weight is unmanaged stress.   You can have a nutrition plan.  And it can be a really good plan. One that is simple, and sustainable. And paired alongside a consistent exercise routine.   But if you are chronically stressed, your veins rich in cortisol and your thoughts moving a million miles per minute as you navigate waves of big emotions, you’re simply not going to lose the body fat you desire.   In today’s episode, I’ll further...

Meet Danielle. At age 51, she’d finally had enough. Of? Well, getting in her own way. She’d been dieting for years and years and years, only to see the weight she worked so hard to lose come back…again and again. Can you relate?

Meet Lysette. Prior to joining The 5% Community, she’d been dieting since middle (despite being a multi-sport athlete). Can you relate? For decades, Lysette operated under the belief that carbohydrates were the antithesis of weight loss. The result: she avoided them like the plague Monday - Friday afternoon only to eat a month’s worth throughout the weekend. This period of intense restriction interspersed with periods of intense binging led to decades of losing and gaining the same 15...
