It Won't Work Out - Ep 27

This episode features mindset coach and former pro hockey player Sandy Cohan, whose experience overcoming self doubt now allows him to help others find their own self confidence. He works with CEO's and top athletes, helping them navigate obstacles and sharpen their abilities to focus in high pressure settings.   On the Your Thoughts at Work podcast, host Sarah Climenhaga uses a process called self-inquiry on this podcast to help guests gently examine stressful thoughts. In this episode Sandy explores the thought "It might not work out", a stress that's arisen in his own life. He shares the impact of the thought in his own life, and his insight that, it will work out, no matter what life throws at us, is a wonderful reminder to everyone who experiences adversity. The questions I use on this podcast are based on a technique called The Work of Byron Katie. Find out more at thework.com.

I have so much to do - Ep 25

In today's world, it can feel like life is one long to-do list and there's no real place to rest. I recently started reading a book called Making Time by Maria Bowler, [https://www.mariabowler.com/makingtime] which explores this constant pressure as more than just a personal problem. She points to it as a kind of inherited belief, something shaped by culture, religion, and industry that many of us never stopped a question. That got me curious about my own relationship with time and productivity, so I turned inward and explored my own to-do list. This episode's belief is "I have so much to do". I explored it not as a productivity problem to solve or something to manage better, but as a thought to question, a thought that creates pressure, false urgency, and a kind of low grade panic. If you've been feeling overwhelmed or stretched thin, I invite you to listen along as you discover your own insights along with mine. ****** "Your Thoughts at Work" is a podcast that explores explore the beliefs that shape our experience of work, life and sometimes, our whole identity.

Texas attorney Matthew Meredith reminds us that no matter how much experience or success we have, old fears can still show up that create havoc in our minds. He explores the stressful thought, “I’m going to look bad.” It’s a familiar fear that dates back to high school and shows up whenever he’s on the verge of something new. Through self-inquiry, Matthew discovers that the harsh standards he applies to himself are ones he would never use on others.
