I resisted this, but I was wrong...

The past year and a half, after delving into the emotional work and prioritising the greens unconditional of external circumstances, I took the stance that it was best to not set external/material goals or intentions, but I was wrong. On this episode I share the homecoming back to dreaming bravely and how my stance against goals was actually a resistance point that created too much detachment.

The gift of rock bottoms & how to shift through trauma - w/ special guest Ben Malol

On today's episode, my long time friend and industry peer Ben Malol shares his story of losing himself in order to find his own hand.  We were both in advertising around the same time, and our journeys took a similar path of unraveling in 2020 (aka: mental breakdown).   After chasing some arbitrary business goal that no longer felt exciting to him, the volcano bubbled over and Ben found himself facing an identity crises and dark night of the soul. This rock bottom, though tough at the time, ended up being the rebirth for Ben, a chance to reconnect with his own energy, and affinity to life. If you're facing your own identity crises (in business or in life) this is one episode you won't want to miss.  Connect with Ben on his Instagram (@itsbenmalol) >>  [https://www.instagram.com/itsbenmalol]

Struggling with procrastination? Try this instead...

Procrastination is a dirty word in today's society.  I've even heard someone refer to it as "a form of withholding love to yourself", insinuating that it's a bad thing. That we should "suck it up" and "do the thing" that needs doing. But what if it was actually there to preserve your energy, preventing you from exerting yourself in tasks or activities that are not necessary or could be approached in a much more effective way? In this episode I share three recent real-life examples of how procrastination serves us deeply.

Honoring rest and recovery without the shame

Take one look at nature, the giver of our air, water, power and food, and you will observe, across both the macro and micro a natural pattern emerging.     A breath in, and out. Growth following recovery.    A shedding of leaves in the midst of a frost, so that energy may be conserved in anticipation of a spurt.  A sprinter taking a break, because nonstop means breakage.  Recovery and rest is required for growth.  Unfortunately this natural cycle has been mislabeled. Often talked about as chaos. Because to the human brain, raised in a society where success is measured by productivity - rest is labeled as lazy. A cardinal sin.  But rest should be permitted, if success is what is truly intentioned.   While there is nothing inherently wrong with rest and recovery, our minds are the biggest culprits in making it a suffering.     We shame ourselves for not being “tapped in, tuned in” to inspiration and motivation.  Miserable in our search for a purpose.  We wait for a permission slip to tell us to enjoy the moment, all the while swimming against a current.  I’ve been guilty of this on more counts than I can count. The first place to start achieving this is to stop labelling rest and recovery phases as chaos, or something wrong.   If you have been through some things, if you have courageously faced big unknowns, then your body will need to restore energy, because make no mistake, you are a battery. Sometimes rest and recovery will last a couple days, sometimes weeks, sometimes years.  They are equally proportionate to the growth potential accumulating.  The more you resist rest and recovery, the more you keep yourself in the lesson.   That wellbeing exists only in the now, your ability to generate the greens is the only productivity you should be focused on.  So rest little caterpillar.  Focus yourself upon the things that bring you joy.   Because in the cocoon you can’t see it, but within it you are emerging wings.  The less you resist the chrysalis, the faster they grow.
