The Connect PodcastEpisode 63: Frustration & AngerFrustration and anger can manifest in many ways in our lives: mentally, emotionally, physically, and spiritually. We have all had moments of chaos, feeling it building and building until it boiled over. The energy and state of mind created can be highly toxic for those catching our rath, and our own physical health as well. So, where does our frustration originate from, and how do we deal with it to minimize it? We can continue the cycle by blaming outside sources, people or situations, or we can turn inwards and get to the root source by taking full accountability...

The Connect PodcastEpisode 62: Man Evolved“It takes a village to raise a child.” This saying accurately depicts my childhood. Looking back on it, God provided what I needed in an unconventional way. He used neighbors, grandparents, and sometimes complete strangers. When we are children, this is hard to comprehend, as we are unaware of the big picture. As kids, we are all dealt the most random of obstacles and blessings. Take a moment to reflect on your challenges and blessings. What really stands out as a positive and as a negative? Sit with these thoughts as they reflect in meditation. As adults, we must find...

The Connect PodcastEpisode 61: ExpansionHave you ever thought of your life in terms of Expansion vs. contraction? Are we living a connected life full of new growth, learning, excitement, and fulfillment? Maybe it’s the flipside: disconnection, stagnation, loneliness, and seclusion. For deeper self- understanding, let’s use our awareness and look at our mental operating system. Is it a growth mindset, or a fixed mindset? We can truly design the life we want at any stage in our journey. Choosing an expansion mindset is one of the keys. Reading the above, is it obvious to us that a growth mindset is the only...

The Connect PodcastEpisode 60: Each One Teach OneI am my brother's keeper; this statement is revered by people of integrity. It is an excellent example of Each One Teach One. It is exemplified by supporting yourself, your family & friends, and your community. Each one teach one is about becoming an individual and honoring your intuition with on-the-spot action. It is the opportunity to step into a void and be of service. What makes life so beautiful is the co mingling of layers of different customs and ways of being. We are all part of a community regardless of skin color or background, because we are human...

The Connect PodcastEpisode 58: Committed“I’m trying to save you from yourself.” These words hit like a ton of bricks as Mike described the sticky notes his mother left on his mirror. How often in our younger years did we not heed our elders' or parents' advice? As we reflect on our youth and lives, we can recall nuggets of wisdom waiting to be discovered. Reflection on our youth challenges us to face ourselves and moments that may be uncomfortable to remember. Some of our behaviors or limiting self-belief may stem from our upbringing. Commitment is required on our hero’s journey to avoid lo...

The Connect PodcastEpisode 57: BackslidingWe have all been there. We were excited about starting something new, and then six weeks later, it stopped. Often, if we pause to think about what happened, our egos will begin making excuses or start with negative commentary. Now, let’s shift our mindset and perspective to the why. Why did I stop meditating or going to the gym? You insert what you backslid on. We can sit in silence, contemplating our 'why' for backsliding. Be brutally honest with yourself. It may be as simple as the fact that I wasn’t really into it. If it’s someth...

We sense that something is off and not quite right. Prioritizing time for ourselves to reflect lends us a deeper understanding and Self-perspective. As we sit in silence, feeling the chaos melt away, the truth whispers to us, and clarity reveals itself. We can run our own diagnostics on what we need to address and the maintenance required. Deep meditation is crucial in preventing burnout and breakdowns. It’s an opportunity for a daily...

Are we aware of the tricks and limiting beliefs of our own egos? Can we recognize our own limiting beliefs, patterns, and the negative mental loops in our own heads? Cultivating our own Self-Awareness is monumental in recognizing what we need to sit with and process. My friends, no one is coming to save us, no one can change us, or face what is ours to ow...

Extreme stress affects us all differently and can reveal who we are and where we need improvement. We have all had those moments of amazement at how we managed to survive a situation or event. These are examples of the extreme, but what about our day-to-day struggles? Do we carry the aftereffects of past moments around with us in our minds? It’s impossible to live in the now if we have not made time to process the past, breathe, release & and let go. Are we...

The Connect PodcastEpisode 53: A Journey of Healing Through ArtOur childhoods set the stage as it is the beginning of our programming and understanding of this world. Most of us were raised by parents who simply repeated the programming given to them. This is common as doing the internal work to heal, elevate awareness and consciousness are not mainstream, as that would be a threat to those who make the rules. For some of us it was frustrating, painful and we often suppress and bury memories of our youth as the mind protects itself. It is important to remember that as kids we were simply doing the best...

It’s time we connect with our inner brute, our raw juggernaut energy, and barbarian mindset. That does not mean to be overly outward aggressive, but it does mean to take your internal and external reality more by the horns. As we continue the process of refinement, mind, body, and spirit, it is common to seek comfort, safety, and the easy path we know by heart. When this thought comes into our heads, we must push past and stay focused on the task at hand. The easy pa...

Do we continue in our limiting belief system, which keeps us on the same hamster wheel? The Get Unstuck live event was thought provoking and it’s my sincere desire that it shook you to your core! We all strive for a better life, friendships, health and wealth. Are we honestly building towards this goal consistently daily? Our health should be a priority as it is the vessel t...

The Connect PodcastEpisode 50: Unfiltered with Coach Gary SchefflerLife is a journey, not a destination. Everyone’s life is met with different trials and tribulations, some inflicted by others, and most sadly, self-inflicted. As we gain Self-Awareness, we shift internally and truly begin to look at our own Hero’s journey with fresh eyes and perspective. Coach Gary shared some personal battles in the hope that someone would be inspired to have that “breakthrough moment.” We may feel like we're on the verge of breaking. You can feel all this build up internally, and it is very overwhelming. This, my friends, is a sign that a shift is comin...

True alignment happens when what you believe in your heart, what you think in your mind, and what you do with your body all move in the same direction. If you have experienced this, it is a dance with fluidity that’s hard to explain. When one of those pieces is out of sync and rhythm, we feel it immediately: anxiety in the chest, fog in the mind, restlessness in the soul. Many of us have lived so long out of alignment that disconnection feels normal, we i...

The Connect PodcastEpisode 48: Self-WorthThere’s a quiet ache so many of us carry — the fear that we are not enough. Not spiritual enough. Not strong enough. Not worthy of love, healing, or peace. This fear is often born in the shadows of our upbringing, spiritual environments, or relationships, where we were taught to perform to be seen. We internalized the belief that love had to be earned, that we had to “fix” ourselves to be accepted, and that our worth was always one step away from being realized. But here’s the truth: you were never too broken. You were never too much. You...

In this episode, we hear from Jacob about how honoring his intuition has led to his passions, purpose, and blessings becoming a reality in his life. How do we react when we hear our intuition? Are we receptive to it? Have we committed to Self-reflection in our daily lives? Our intuition speaks to us daily, guiding us as the Holy Spirit leads the way. If we are not focused on removing, understanding, and dissolving our limiting...

What gets your blood pumping, eyes dilated, gives you butterflies, and becomes timeless when you’re doing it? Mind, body, and spirit activation aligned through passion, purpose, and passion. The keys are timeless: awareness, self-knowledge, and rigorous honesty, all cultivated through reflection and meditation. Purpose becomes more obvious when we see ourselves as unique individuals, part of the collective consciousness. We are a...

In this state, we realize that we are pure energy. We are timeless, limitless, and never-ending. Energy does not die; it simply changes form; it’s transferred. So here we are having this experience in these bodies; we get one body and one go at this life. As we continue our Hero’s journey, our thoughts on what comes next after this may shift and change.

In this episode we reframe discipline exploring our own personal relationship with it. It is in direct correlation to how we feel and think about ourselves, and our level of awareness. Are we in the mindset of expansion or contraction? Are we growing as individuals or staying the same and stagnating. This is our Hero’s journey; do we love ourselves enough to do wh...

Often, we are frozen without action. Cultivating redemption brings internal liberation, higher awareness & consciousness. For this to be synchronistic in our lives, we must desire to be truth seekers and self-accountable. We reach the point internally where we know and are willing to face the moment and redeem ourselves fully. We are excited because we know something new and different is unfolding internally. Our authenticity is now in control and spearheading our thoughts, focused on crea...

The next step is here, view it as a marker in the unfolding of the process to spiritual awakening. The long dark night is the death of the ego, not that it disappears. This reality will have you feeling numb, alone, and in a very unfamiliar place internally. It is normal in the process to want to disc...

The Connect PodcastEpisode 41: Relationships Part 3I forgive you. For some, it is difficult to verbalize and truly mean it. Compassion, empathy, and healing are all tied to forgiveness. The most important relationship we will ever have is with ourselves; forgiving ourselves is key. We think about forgiving someone and are hit with internal resistance; this is our ego holding on to the feeling, pain, and moment. This is where the ego gets its power. Healing and forgiveness remove our ego’s power. Forgiving ourselves is part of Self-love, letting go of what was, making room for what could be, and being fully present. Frame fo...

Taking full responsibility for every aspect of our lives is incredibly empowering! To achieve this mental reality, we must be rigorously honest about what has happened and where we currently stand. As we continue to map out our reality, clarity and self-accountability begin to merge with our vision. If we are unaware, how can we take action about what’s happening? It isn't comforting to come to terms with the fact that we are primarily a product of our programming. Understanding th...

As we lay our understanding out visually, the picture takes shape. We can see the road map that has shaped our perspective, perception, and reality. This can be a very uncomfortable process, but it’s crucial in uncovering what needs to be healed from our youth. For this to be impactful, we must be rigorously honest and transparent.

This depends on where we are in our healing journey and the perspectives and perceptions gained. Do you think the way you did 15 years ago, with the same thoughts, perspectives, and desires? Most of us would lean to no; we change, be it ever so subtle, no matter how much we resist. Change is the only constant; we see it all around us if we are detail-focused. So why would we hang onto old programming, resentments, grudges, etc.? Does what happened 20 or 10 years ago still...

Recovery and prevention are the drivers for a healthy growth mindset. The power of our own awareness reveals lingering internal unresolved, unhealed perceptions, moments, and feelings needing our attention. We all have that nagging feeling of things that need to be addressed internally. It is very challenging to be fully present with these unresolved moments. We sit with them to process, understand, honor, and fully accept them. We are no longer the mind-body connection to these past...

Pushing ourselves past our comfort zone into the uncomfortable creates growth. We can see what we are truly made of in this awkward zone.

Our thoughts and reasoning patterns lead to our reactions and actions. The quality of what is going on internally inside each of us determines what we push out to the world. It is our duty and responsibility to remove the clutter and chaos internally, allowing space for flow and the whispers of God. Is it more prudent to have twenty irons in the fire, or ten?

When we are fully present, connected to ourselves, everything else dissolves away. The saying “time flies when you’re having fun” is an example of being fully present. Being present charges our energy levels and authenticity flows. It is who and where we were des...

Throughout this process and journey, we have learned a lot about ourselves, and we should see our egos behavior with certainty. Now we transition into action, resilience, & humility.

So, let’s walk through the layers. Denial starts the minute we hear or become aware of something that rocks us to the core. Next our mind shifts to anger, frustration & aggression. We then begin to realize we may be able to talk ourselves out of the current reality, so we begin bargaining, a nuanced version of denial. Depression is close behind leaving us feeling empty and numb, energy has left our being. The seed of acceptance takes root now an...

It’s difficult to maintain this with our own ego and outside judgement of others. Self-awareness provides the vantage point of decision making.

There are very natural transitions and some that are forced upon us. For instance, dissolving a relationship or the death of someone we value. Everything that is alive transitions. Every transition serves its purpose and is a shedding of what was, and the moment before what will be.

The emotions and feelings you have in that moment are very real, however they can be manipulated by the ego and keep you in a reactionary mode. In the podcast, we covered lowering our stress levels as well as how to vent off negative energy with pressure built up from the past. Slowing down, reprioritizing our time and what we give our energy to is key. How can we be of service to ourselves...

The Connect PodcastEpisode 10: Perspective & PerceptionOur perspective and perception directly affect our thoughts, actions, vision and life. Expanding our minds to see other perspectives is an asset and tool for a life of meaning and value. Opening our hearts allows us the gift of hidden perspectives we might otherwise not notice. They can be the small nuances that speak to us in moments we are fully present. When someone speaks, are we listening to hear, or understand? The art of listening to understand helps us connect and be fully present in the moment. We are instinctively drawn to gather and gain new perspectives; it...

The Connect PodcastEpisode 9: Self-love - Part 2The most important relationship you will ever have is the one with yourself! What do you see when you take that pause to look into your own eyes, standing in front of the mirror? Are you showing up for yourself? Have you prioritized yourself? No one will show up for you like you will. Self-love is actively engaging in your own well-being Mind, Body & Spirit. The ego’s selfishness is not self-love. Self-Love is working within us and choosing to authentically prioritize ourselves, and our needs. Sitting in silence is key for the subconscious mind to open up and gi...

The Connect PodcastEpisode 8: Self Love - Part 1Love, what a powerful word! It has a different meaning to all of us. Our understanding of love has a direct correlation to our lives and experiences. In the podcast we discussed many layers of love. Take time to sit with the idea of love in silence. Reflect on your first experience with it. When did you become aware of love? How has your ability to reciprocate and grow as a person impacted love for you? We each have a longing to feel and express love. We have a need and deep desire to feel love and understanding. From...

The Connect PodcastEpisode 7: Judgment & RegretJudgment comes from a place where you are lacking, it comes from fear, comparison, envy and even hate. These are a few of the ego’s traits. These internal deficiencies manifest themselves in judging others or situations. Have you ever heard of the mirroring effect? It’s being “annoyed or aggravated” with someone, and these issues you see externally in someone else are traits you yourself possess.

The Connect PodcastEpisode 6: Self AccountabilityPeople who hold themselves accountable possess ownership. Not only of their own actions, but of the narrative they create for themselves. This creates clarity and allows for a heightened level of proficiency in every area of life. With accountability comes the luxury of an increased sense of awareness, granting opportunities to perceive moments as teachers and sources of knowledge. When you take responsibility for yourself, others perceive you as more dependable, because you are in control of your truth. Taking ownership of yourself is about tending to your inner landscape regularly, and this is something that I personally learned...

The Connect PodcastEpisode 5: FocusHave you ever marveled at the power of a magnifying glass? With just a small piece of glass, you can harness the sun's rays and create a fire. So how is this small piece of glass able to create immense heat? The secret lies in focused energy. The same principle applies to your life and goals. When you concentrate your efforts on a single task or goal, you unleash a powerful force within yourself that propels you towards success. In today's fast-paced world, it's easy to get overwhelmed & feel lost by the constant stream of information and distractions. We...

The Connect PodcastEpisode 4: Foundation - Part 2Our foundation is influenced by internal and external processing. Being of service to others is a way to connect with others and lessen their suffering. To decide to serve someone else is a direct manifestation in your external foundation. It begins with a thought and when you go and help someone with the right intentions even when they don’t express gratitude is a win for you. As you grow into a different version of yourself, energy changes and you will lead by example. People will notice your patterns and reactions changing as you do the work, and your in...

The Connect PodcastEpisode 3: Foundation - Part 1Our foundation as individuals has an external piece and an internal piece. Our external foundation is based on our programming, choices, insight, who we are around and where we were raised. Your health and lifestyle including exposure to different associations will manifest your external foundation. Your internal foundation is your dialogue and choices that you make internally based off your thoughts, reactions and patterns that drive you. Is it hate, fear, emptiness, or other’s expectations? Really sit and think about where you are right now externally and internally.

The Connect PodcastEpisode 2: Owning Our Reality - Part 2When you Open Your Mind and Open Your Heart you can gain the mental capacity to have observations to place you in the right state of mind. If you need to gain insight into a particular situation, or get some direction, your mental operating system matters. Owning your reality, while it may be difficult, is the true starting point and your beginning. You will begin to understand accountability through your personal inventory of who you truly are inside.
2023-09-2220 min
The Connect PodcastEpisode 1: Owning Our Reality - Part 1Until we own our own reality and have an honest look at ourselves, we are unable to approach the starting point. We need the starting point to move forward and create real change. We each require the ability to connect with ourselves so that we may connect with others. As you move through this process, breathe, relax, and focus on having an open mind and open heart.
