The Brain Scrub

Can our identity kill us?

Do you ever label people to be a certain way? Those negative people, the bullies, the ones that only care about themselves? We easily can easily cast an identity on others, but what about ourselves. What is our identity and how is it working for us? In this episode, I share some lessons learned.

Understanding others

In David Brooks book, 'How to Know a Person', he discusses the importance of building stronger relationship connections through being curious and knowing, we are all different. What makes us who we are? How does that inform how we see the world, see others and see ourselves. I do a little exploration on this topic in this episode. 

Welcome to my new co-host and our plans for the Brain Scrub

I am so pleased to bring Jason Duncan on as a co-host. He is a great friend and will add a new level of energy, ideas and enthusiasm to the show. In this episode, we get into our strategic planning for the show and juggle some ideas around. A true Improv show. 

Living your purpose

The book titled 'The Unsold Mindset: Refining what it means to sell", is changing my life, today. This book is not just about sales, its about how one chooses to be in relations with self and others. It has inspired me to revisit and rebuild my purpose. Thanks to all those that contributed based on the questions I asked on what others see in me. My friends, family and community are a gift. Living with purpose makes life, for me, much more meaningful.
We only have a short time on this planet. What do you want from that?

Are you causing a racket?

A Racket is a persistent complaint about another. It is an avoidance and payoff tactic (Most of the time) and I will chat about this in today's episode.

Waiting for Retirement?

The present moment is all we have. How are you choosing to live it? Retirement is what many of us save and wait for. Some of us make it, some of sadly, don't. This episode is about what I realized this week about my work and the gift it is, and enjoying it is no longer an option for me. That and the life around me right now, is all I have in the present moment and I intend to make the most of it. 

FOMO and its consequence

A little rant that may resonate with you. How much effort do you put into being noticed. STOP. You are enough. The struggle to get attention through social media has created not only a FOMO but tremendous sadness and insecurities that are driving us away from those who really matter - in many cases. I do generalize a bit in this episode and sorry for that. Be with those who are important to you, not the 1000's that are trying to focus on way to much and lose themselves in the process.

What I am grateful for....

This is the last episode for 2023 - an episode of gratitude - a gift during the holidays. Talk to you in 2024!

Letting Go - Part 2 - Relive to Relieve

In this episode I talk about how to let go of those stories that hold us back. This information is largely based on the book "The power of letting go" by John Purkiss.

Letting go: For real this time. Part 1

This episode is based on the wonderful work of John Purkiss, author of "The Power of Letting Go". I will walk you through the steps to let go and my hope is that whatever is holding you back, no longer does. For me, it's my attachment to having a relationship with my son...for starters.
