In this mini-sode we unpack a standout chapter from The Life Hack Playbook using the “Skittles” framework—an unfiltered, easy-to-grasp way to measure where your energy is actually going each day. The message is simple and confronting: energy is currency, and what you consistently “fund” with your attention is what grows—whether that’s purpose, progress, resentment, or the same recycled excuses.
Joined by Cameron and Wiley Karber, the conversation moves from rant to real-life application: how scrolling, gossip, venting, and negative rehearsal quietly invest in the reality you say you want to change. They explore “sneaky drains” like unfinished tasks and lingering mental load—the background programs running on your brain that steal focus, capacity, and peace without you noticing. The episode lands on a practical takeaway: audit the ledger, reduce friction, clear the live wires, and intentionally reallocate your energy toward what actually matters—so your life changes not magically, but measurably.
This podcast dives deep into real, raw topics—think vulnerability, triggers, and childhood trauma. But just so we're super clear: I’m not a licensed therapist, mental health professional, or anything close. I’m just a human sharing stories, lessons, and life hacks based on personal experience and a whole lot of curiosity.
So, while you might find some golden nuggets here, this is not therapy and should never replace professional mental health care. If you or someone you love is going through it, please—seriously—reach out to a licensed therapist or healthcare provider. You deserve the real deal.
