In this special episode, I sit down with my dear friend and former business partner, Chalmers Brothers, for a candid, unscripted conversation about personal growth, communication skills, and the transformative power of ontological coaching. Chalmers has been a huge influence on my journey, and together, we reflect on how we first met, our early work experiences, and how a life-changing workshop completely shifted how we both saw relationships and ourselves.

You’ll learn about the importance of recognizing that everyone is a unique observer of the world—and how letting go of the need to always be "right" can open up new possibilities in your relationships. Chalmers shares some of his own experiences, including how one powerful distinction reshaped his approach to business and life.

Find out how you can avoid building resentment by addressing unspoken expectations and the power of having "missing conversations" to clear the air. We also explore the connection between the body, language, and emotions—and how becoming aware of these can change the way you show up in the world.

Tune in and discover how a few simple shifts in thinking can lead to deeper, more fulfilling relationships.

Have you ever stopped to think about the power of your words?

Not just the words you say to others, but the ones you say to yourself?

Whether we realize it or not, we’re constantly declaring things about ourselves, and these declarations can have a huge impact on our lives.

In this episode, I dive into the powerful concept of declarations and how they shape our lives in ways we might not even realize. You'll learn about the importance of the words we use to describe ourselves and how these declarations can either lift us up or hold us back. I share some personal stories, including my recent experience with burnout and my plans for a much-needed sabbatical out West.

Find out how you can create your own positive declarations to shift your mindset and be your best self in the world. Discover why statements like "I forgive you" or "I'm not enough" are so impactful, and how to start using language to your advantage. I also talk about my own declaration and how it helps me stay grounded and focused.

Whether you’re looking to make a big change or just want to understand yourself better, this episode is all about using the power of words to design the life you want. Tune in and let’s explore how to declare yourself into being!

Life can feel overwhelming sometimes, but what if finding peace and joy was simpler than we thought? The secret lies in acceptance.

In this episode, I dive into acceptance and how it can transform your daily life. If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed or frustrated by things you can't change, this episode is for you.

You’ll learn why acceptance is important and key to finding peace and how accepting the facts of our lives can reduce unnecessary suffering. I share personal stories, like dealing with aging and a recent eye surgery, and how a walk with my dog, Nellie, led to a breakthrough moment.

Discover practical steps you can take to embrace acceptance in life and of your current situation. I’ll also introduce you to two different ‘emotional trees’—one rooted in acceptance that leads to peace and joy, and one rooted in resistance that leads to resentment and fleeting excitement.

Join me as we explore how letting go of resistance and aligning our expectations and reality can lead to a more peaceful and fulfilling life.

Grab your headphones, take a deep breath, and let’s get into it!
