Episode 118: BECOME the CEO of Yourself with Brent Pohlman

Uncategorized Oct 18, 2023

Today’s episode is all about becoming the CEO of yourself - first and foremost.

 

Today I am joined by a man I have come to have much respect and appreciation for, Brent Polhman. 

 

This guy shows up. Daily. 

Consistency is definitely one of his superpowers! 

He is a father, husband and President / CEO of Midwest Laboratories, as well as the author of "Leaders Look Within”.

 

Today’s conversation kicks right off with us addressing some of the top questions I get from leaders, specifically:

 

 

  • How do I attract and keep the right people?
  • How do I know who I can trust and what’s the key there to building great teams?

 

 

We also delve into

 

  • Navigating Cancel Culture

Upgrading your BELIEF System

Uncategorized Oct 11, 2023

 

How would you describe your ‘internal’ operating system?

By operating systems I am talking about the beliefs running in the background that are essentially responsible for running your entire life. 

Today’s episode was created off the heels of our last few discussions around re-evaluating our values and getting those in the right order. (If you missed that episode, you can catch it here : Insert Link)

The next step then becomes examining our operating systems because ultimately - if what you VALUE + what you BELIEVE don’t match, you will have an incredibly difficult time ever finding any peace in your days, any flow in your processes, and any lasting results.

So - Today we are unpacking our internal operating systems. Belief systems are learned. They are shaped by our experiences, conditioning, environment, and societal influences. And that means….. they were PLANTED there! Yes. They are PROGRAMS that are running. This means they can be...

Episode 116: [FOMO] Redefining Our Values and Prioritizing What Matters!

Uncategorized Oct 04, 2023

FOMO.

 

Who doesn’t have it? 

 

Fear. Of. Missing. Out.

 

Oh those opportunities knocking at your door!! 

Opportunities to get ahead, to close one more deal, to get that shiny new “toy”,

to knock off that extra achievement/win off our list. 

 

Opportunities to “meet the right people”, get in the “right” room, be where the “action” is… 

To be liked. To be needed. To be wanted. 

 

FOMO is real. And so is all the anxiety and fallout that comes with it.

 

In this episode I’m flipping FOMO on its head and giving you a  fresh perspective on how to look at it for what it actually is, a thief of your joy and peace. 

 

I'm also going to share the one SHIFT and a simple clear process that will reintroduce balance, calm, and yes - JOY - back into your life.

Episode 115: 7 Steps to Healing

Uncategorized Sep 27, 2023

Most of us have a ton of emotional and mental weight we are carrying around 24/7. You know that elephant that always seems to be sitting on your chest? That thing that feels like the weight of the world. 

 

Here’s the truth; so much of that mental, emotional - and yes - physical weight you’ve been packing on - has nothing to do with needing an extra workout, although that definitely helps.

 

It has 100% to do with HOW you are CLEANING UP and processing what’s inside you. HOW you are training yourself to move through these difficult times. The divorce, the affair, the employee leaving and stealing business, the team members who are creating internal division, the spouse who is non responsive, the kids who are struggling… You get it.

 

We’ve got a lot of cleanup, processing and healing to do if we are going to move forward lighter, mentally sharper, more energized and excited to do life again.

 

BUT many of us are completely...

Episode 114: On Pain + Betrayal + Healing our Emotional Wounds

Uncategorized Sep 20, 2023

Last week I was at a leadership conference and I asked a handful of executives the burning question: What keeps you up at night? 

What are the things that feel heavy on your heart and weigh you down? The things you just can't seem to let go of?

The common answer: “I don't know who I can trust. I don’t know who really has my back”

Can I trust my people? Can I trust the people on my team? Can I trust these relationships? Can I trust people in relationships, intimate relationships?

That conversation both inspired me and unearthed some stuff that I was holding on to so I decided to dedicate an entire episode to it.

 

In today’s episode we are unpacking those unresolved pains, betrayals, losses - wounds - that we must HEAL in order to free ourselves from the emotional weight, remove the bottleneck in our life/business (which is us) and open ourselves up to what’s NEXT ...

 

In this episode I unpack 

  • The Nature of Healing

Episode 113: RESTLESS! Moving from Complexity to Simplicity

Uncategorized Sep 13, 2023

In today's episode, I dive deep into the sense of restlessness that plagues many of us in our addiction to over-complicating our lives. The challenges of navigating a world filled with constant information overload and distractions are REAL my friends

This topic of ‘restlessness’, misalignment and overload; frequently arises in my coaching sessions and my own life experiences. Our energy and superpowers - unharnessed - can quickly spiral when we lack the boundaries (structure) and clarity to keep us focused and grounded in the middle of a million distractions and demands.. Before we know it we find ourselves restless and anxious, swimming in a sea of overwhelm.

Here’s what we covered in todays show: 

Segment 1: The World of Overwhelm (0:00 - 03:21)

  • The prevalence of information overload and distractions in our daily lives.
  • The feeling of being constantly pulled in multiple directions.
  • The importance of breaking free from these distractions to be more present...

Episode 112: How to Determine The Best "Way"

Uncategorized Sep 06, 2023

One of the biggest questions we all struggle with is, am I doing the right things?

 

How do I know if I'm on the right track? 

How do I know what the best way forward is?

What is the best way to make this business decision?

What is the best way to handle this business deal?

What is the best way to solve this problem, this marriage?

 

The way is often what trips us up and causes the most stress and the most grief.

 

Figuring out our “formula” for creating and building in a way that is actually expansive is a great challenge for so many of us. 

 

In today's episode, I'm unpacking 

 

  • The three different personality types and mindsets that people create from
  • The consequences of creating, building, solving problems from each one of these “ways”. 
  • How our experience and our journey is going to change based on the way we decide to create. 
  •  As always, a personal story about what I've discovered is my...

Episode 111: Our Way vs His Way: Increasing your Capacity to Receive

Uncategorized Aug 30, 2023

In today's episode, we're talking about being stretched. 

 

Stretched in our capacity to receive… stretched in the reorganization of what we think is POSSIBLE. 

 

How often do we limit ourselves? Limit what we're willing to receive? Limit what we're capable of receiving, based on what we think we can accomplish or do by our own means? We even limit what we ask God for, what we think HE can do. 

 

Recently I had a personal experience before hosting the women's retreat where I asked God to stretch my capacity to receive, and boy… did he SHOW UP. 

 

So in today's episode, I'm sharing…

  • The stretching process as we are growing in our capacity
  • Who are you when you're being stretched? 
  • How do you handle yourself while you're being stretched into the next version? 
  • The unexpected unplanned ways that God comes through with even more when we get out of the way.
  • Our plans and our way are so limiting versus when we allow...

Episode 109: The Art of Play to Unlock Creativity + Healing

Uncategorized Aug 16, 2023

"Your inner child's love language is play.”

 

This week on the Untamed Life, I dive into the liberating journey of breaking free from the weight of perpetual problem-solving and embracing a more lighthearted, creative existence. 

 

We are after all infinite creative BEINGS! Yet, we have a tendency to become weighed down in the seriousness of life and in turn disconnect from our inner playfulness.  

 

When we do that for an extended period of time,  it’s as if the life force sucks right out of us. By shifting  our focus from external controls to nurturing our internal environment, we can uncover the fascinating space of our inner child & the power of play. 

 

In this episode, I uncover the transformative potential of infusing our lives with childlike wonder and discuss how to:

  • Shift Focus to Internal Control
  • Reconnect with Your Inner Child
  • Balance Responsibility with Play
