Why pseudo-gratitude sucks
Guest User
Don’t get me wrong, a daily gratitude practice is the bedrock of an amplified life. When you take time each day to reflect on what you’re grateful for, life gives you more to be grateful for. Gratitude is the first step to the elusive “abundance mindset” you have heard and read about in the self-help world.

It was supposed to be a “dream job”
Guest User
In 2014, I landed the biggest gig of my 18-year corporate career. I had a fancy title that sounded important, a nice corner office, and a cushy, 6-figure salary to match. On paper, life looked great.

Read MoreOur stories can keep us stuck
Guest User
Last week we ended off discussing the stories we tell ourselves, and even the stories we tell others, to justify staying where we are. These stories can keep us stuck, and in a place where we are not our best selves. This leads us into a conversation around how we manifest change; some people call it the law of attraction, manifestation, co-creation. It gets a lot of talk; and yet I don’t think many of us understand the real way it works.
Read MoreYour Ego Exists for a Reason
Guest User
I left off last week on the concept of ego, and how it is as much a part of us, as our liver (in Sarah’s words!) They both serve purposes, they’re both related to our survival. And they both need to be handled with care. If we accept that the ego’s not going away, it may die many deaths in various forms, but it exists for a reason. Then the key is not to get all obsessive about trying to kill it off, but rather to recognize that it’s a quirk of your biology.
Read MoreWhat’s Your Coping Mechanism?
Guest User
Last week, I paused our conversation on the concept of coping mechanisms. Sarah was speaking about how our system doesn’t self-audit and self-update. She elaborated on this by noting if you don’t work with someone and do that work in your adult years, then you are basically applying a bunch of coping mechanisms that you used to navigate and survive elementary school, and you’re trying to apply that to your adult relationships and your adult business.

Guest User
In my last blog, I started to introduce you to Sarah Reilly. I’ve known Sarah for a while, and one of the most profound statements she made to me (and I say “one of” because she inspires me all the time), is “Your new life will cost you your old one.” When I reflect upon this, I think about how to move forward; you will always have something behind you. Everyone is ok with saying they want to move forward; it’s the letting go of the past (while acknowledging its importance in where you’re going) that is the hard part.

Truth: I Almost Gave Up On My Business
dan masden
We will experience expansions and contractions in our career, finances, health, and relationships. But because our nervous system is wired to avoid pain rather than experience pleasure, we want to give up when we feel squeezed too tightly.
In doing so, we'll never get to experience the expansion on the other side.
