My Opinions About Quitting AlternativesThere are a whole bunch of methods for quitting out there but they are NOT born equal. I cure. I don't treat symptoms.

Alcohol and Quitting VapingDo you find that you have trouble staying away from nicotine when alcohol gets involved? This episode should help. The reason why it is so much more difficult to not vape when you drink is because alcohol inhibits your power to regulate your emotions and cravings. It makes total sense that drinking is a vulerable place for quitters to relapse. If you ever mess up and vape when you said you weren't going to, the best thing you can do is to look at the situation and what occured from a place of genuine curiousity, not judgement. 2023-05-1008 minThe Quit Vaping Podcast17.

Addiction, by its very nature is an emotional problem. The best version of yourself is the one who is willing to feel any emotion. Addicion and your best self cannot co-exist.

It is always a better choice to find reasons why you love the decision you made, even if... you wouldn't make that same decision again. 2023-01-0417 minThe Making Meaningful Income Podcast20. Facts Can't HurtOne of the most important things that you can ever learn how to do is separate fact from story. Facts, or circumstances, are things that are outside of your control. Thoughts are sentences in your mind that are always 100% optional. When you're able to separate facts from thoughts, you gain the ability to create results regardless of your circumstances. You also learn that facts don't have the ability to hurt you or create emotions. This understanding is the key to creating a life that is both meaningful and fulfilling. 2022-12-2820 minThe Making Meaningful Income Podcast19. Let's Get Woo-WooWhen it comes to rational, scientific thinking, I am a huge fan. However, there is an element of the self-help/life coaching world that cannot and should not be explained away rationally. It is often referred to as woo-woo, pseudoscience, mysticism, supernatural, or occult. In this episode, I talk about why it is so important to sometimes consider believing before having evidence to do so. When you can believe in the unseen, magical things happen. For a rational look into the world of manifestation, I recommend you read Dr. Joe Dispenza's "Breaking the Habit of...2022-12-2120 minThe Making Meaningful Income Podcast18. How to Handle FearFear is the biggest reason why people don't chase after their dreams. The truth is, fear is always going to be there so we might as well learn how to deal with it now. At the end of life, people regret the things they didn't do far more than the things they did. The presence of fear marks that we are on the right path. It is the number one reason why most people quit and the exact reason why we shouldn't.

MotivationI originally decided to study psychology in an attempt to learn about motivation. Little did I know that the answers I was seeking would eventually be found in the self-help world of life coaching. Today, I talk about motivation in the most simple way imaginable. It turns out that you don't need to get a psych degree to understand how to motivate yourself into action. Enjoy!2022-12-0711 minThe Making Meaningful Income Podcast16. Question EVERYTHINGOur current beliefs create our current results.So, if you want to change your life, you have to start by changing what you believe about yourself, your potential, and the world. The best news anyone can ever give you is that you have 100% control to believe whatever you want. A lot of us completely miss out on this opportunity by unconsciously recycling the same limiting beliefs that have been taught to us by our parents and society. Only you get to decide what to believe about life but you've got to be willing to question...2022-11-3020 minThe Making Meaningful Income Podcast15. How to Make Good DecisionsThis is a question that I get asked all the time and an episode that I was excited to record. In order to make big decisions in your life, there are a couple of guidelines that I like to follow. The biggest thing is to remember that there is no such thing as a "right" or "wrong" choice. It is also really important to make decisions from a place of complete emotional responsibility. 2022-11-2315 minThe Making Meaningful Income Podcast14. Knowing What You WantWhen we don't know what we want from life, we often feel frustrated, overwhelmed, and stuck. These emotions typically do not lead to us finding answers or taking action. In addition, it is very common for us not to believe that what we really want is possible. When we don't believe that we can have (or deserve) what we actually want, we end up on paths that make us unexcited about our futures. People are always asking me what they should do with their lives and how to find out when they don't know. This episode is...2022-11-1621 minThe Making Meaningful Income Podcast13. How to Process EmotionEmotions are the reason for all of our actions and inactions. In this episode, I talk about the four ways in which we can deal with our emotions. Our willingness to experience emotions is the key to living out our dreams. However, our society teaches us to do the opposite. When we are constantly resisting, reacting to, or avoiding our emotions, we find ourselves out of control in our lives and unable to do what we truly want like maintain a healthy weight or start the business we have been dreaming about. If you're ready to take...2022-11-0922 minThe Making Meaningful Income Podcast12. Committing to BeliefIn this episode, I talk about how you can commit to the process of believing new things. Our current thinking creates our current results so, in order to create new results, we have to believe new thoughts. This is one of the most important skills we can learn as human beings and truly one of the most challenging. However, mastering this skill IS the difference between a life that is mediocre and a life that is extraordinary. *If you have not listened to episodes 3 & 4, I recommend doing so before this episode. Book recommendation:...2022-11-0219 minThe Making Meaningful Income Podcast11. Exactly Where You Should BeOne of my favorite thoughts to practice believing is that at this moment, you are exactly where you should be. We all want to rush to happiness but in doing so, we miss the entire point that you don't need your circumstances to change in order to change how you feel. Where you are right now is the perfect place to learn how to manage your mind. Then, with a managed mind, we can achieve our goals without falling into the trap of thinking that we should be happy all the time. You are exactly where you...2022-10-2616 minThe Making Meaningful Income Podcast10. Meaningful Income with Jack LewandowskiToday, I speak to someone who is currently demonstrating what it is to make meaningful income. I met Jack Lewandowski when I was working at the psychiatric hospital. At the time, he was working as a recreational therapist. Today, he has taken a career shift into the transportation industry where he works as a flight attendant. We talk about how his jobs fit into his own definition of meaningful income and wrap the episode up with a little bit of coaching. Enjoy!2022-10-1932 minThe Making Meaningful Income Podcast9. Investing in YourselfA lot of people stop investing in themselves after they finish high school or college. They're willing to work 60 hours a week for 10 years to buy a new Tesla and a $450,000 house but be completely unwilling to invest in their physical and mental health. If this strategy worked in the long run, I'd be all in, but it doesn't and often leads to a crisis in midlife. In order to continually be satisfied with our lives as we age, we have to keep investing in ourselves. We need to dedicate time, money, and energy to things that will better...2022-10-1221 minThe Making Meaningful Income Podcast8. Goals (and why you NEED them)You get exactly what you plan for. That's why goals are such an important tool in building extraordinary lives. Goals are a way to direct our minds so that we don't spend too much time in pleasure-seeking and instant gratification. What results have you planned to get over the next year... two years.... five years? We don't plan because we want to avoid the discomfort that setting big goals for ourselves brings. Well, the truth is you're going to be uncomfortable either way. So you might as well plan to get something you want out of it. 2022-10-0517 minThe Making Meaningful Income Podcast7. Making MoneyThe amount of money you make is a reflection of what you believe is possible. Luckily, you get to decide what's possible. When we are young, we are taught that money, time and education are directly related to each other. In reality, they aren't. Value creates money independent of time or education. 2022-09-2819 minThe Making Meaningful Income Podcast6. Getting SpecificPsychology teaches us as the number of options we have increases, it actually becomes more difficult for us to choose one. In this episode, I talk about narrowing down your options for making meaningful income to 5. Once we get specific on what we want, we can focus our brains and make it happen. You're never going to be 100% sure. The most important part is that you are brave enough to make a decision and move forward. 2022-09-2116 minThe Making Meaningful Income Podcast5. Emotional NumbingBecause emotions drive all actions, this episode is SO important. Today, we talk about the three ways in which we can deal with emotions and why being emotionally in tune with our bodies is the 1st step to creating extraordinary income and lives. 2022-09-1428 minThe Making Meaningful Income Podcast4. Creating New BeliefsIn episode 3, we talked about how your current thinking is creating your current results. In this episode, we talk about how to create the kind of beliefs that will lead you to an extraordinary life. You can create whatever you want in life, but only if you are willing to commit to believing it. 2022-09-0719 minThe Making Meaningful Income Podcast3. Current BeliefsYour current beliefs create your current results. Unfortunately, most people are completely unaware of what they believe. Before you can create lasting change in your life, you must first create awareness. What do you believe? About yourself? About the world? About your future? 2022-08-3119 minThe Making Meaningful Income Podcast2. Meaningful IncomeYour income should work around the life that you decide you want, not the other way around. In today's episode, I define what meaningful income is and give you the first step on how to create it. You truly can have any future that you want. Just remember that it all starts now with a thought and a feeling. 2022-08-2417 minThe Making Meaningful Income Podcast1. What it TakesIf you want to create an extraordinary life, you've got to learn how to be comfortable in discomfort. Meaningful income means making abundant money doing something you find fulfilling. Although this option is available to everyone, it is not for everyone. If you want to create an extraordinary life, you've got to take extraordinary actions. Are you ready to do what it takes? 2022-08-1716 min
