The Modern Young Adult

What are we actually avoiding when we talk about discomfort? Today I wanted to get specific about discomfort and our avoidance of it in preparation for the procrastinating that will almost inevitably happen when it comes to finals week. Plus all the discomfort we avoid in dating, our careers, and personal goals that don’t have deadlines that are set back because of our avoiding the hard things required. Come learn how to overcome this natural tendency to avoid discomfort and learn how to become friends with it so it doesn’t hold you back from what you really want to accomplish in life. 

MISSION PREP PLUS for Preparing Missionaries

To have your best missionary experience, it’s not about doing all the right things. It’s about how we are feeling mentally and emotionally. Learn how this new program I am helping coach in can change your experience as a missionary so that you are full of purpose, can be free of anxiety or depression on your mission, and truly be able to take on any challenge that’s presented to you in this 2 week course to prepare you before your mission.

It’s so easy to point out what’s going wrong in life. And it’s easy for us to then shame ourselves for not seeing the good in life and appreciating it which only makes us feel worse. Today on the podcast, I want to drop all of that and just be grateful exactly where you are at in life. There’s no wrong way of doing this experience because it’s all just your choice in the end. Gratitude takes work so of course we don’t always feel like doing it, but I promise you that looking at your life differently on purpose is always worth it and always possible no matter where you are at.

This isn’t about math literally. Sorry if you came to hate on math. But have you ever noticed when you obsess over figuring something out? Whether you like someone or whether they like you? What career you should choose, what’s going to be on this test, how much time you need to get married before your 31? All of that is what I call calculating. And it ain’t serving you. Today on the podcast, I talk about how to stop doing the mental math our brain argues is necessary for figuring something out and how it actually is not serving you, and how you can bring yourself to the present and help yourself actually feel better.

People Pleasing. We all do it, it’s inherent as a human being to pretend we feel differently or to not voice our true opinion so we don’t disrupt a social setting, have people think negatively about us, or even to not hurt another person’s feelings. Yet it’s only hurting us in the process. Today on the podcast I dive deep on how people pleasing is not serving us, breaking down what it does to us in our brain and how we can begin today to stop people pleasing so that we might find more joy in our relationship with ourselves and others. I promise that if you are struggling in relationships with others right now, stopping people pleasing can fix that struggle.

I have something to confess: I’m not very good at taking care of myself. In fact, I fall out of good habits and go into bad habits consistently. I should sleep more, I should eat healthier, I shouldn’t spend as much time on my phone. And yet it’s all okay. So often we use the routines of self-care against ourselves to say we are lazy and something is inherently wrong with us when we just don’t want to do it a lot of the time. Today on the podcast I talk about what it means to take care of yourself and how this form of love for yourself is not selfish and in fact is the hardest thing you can do for yourself. And I talk about the one 5 minute habit that if you begin right now will dramatically improve the rest of your day, I guarantee it.

During our young adult years, it can be easy to get stuck in confusion simply because of the amount and severity of the decisions we feel we have to make at this stage of life. There can be so much pressure around it all and no matter how hard we try, we can feel completely lost in “I don’t know”. But today on the podcast, I want to share with you the truth about confusion. Even for something as big as what you want to do in life, we don’t actually have to be confused and it actually doesn’t really matter what you will decide because all that REALLY matters is just making a decision. I also share strategies to get us out of the cloud of confusion and finally resolve the dilemma of “I don’t know what to do in life”.

If you’re like me, it’s easy to do the very opposite thing the tools of self-help are there for: hurt yourself! Once we are given knowledge and awareness of what is happening in our brain and body, we may be tempted to use the tools that are supposed to build us up to tear ourselves down. So today on the podcast, I’m sharing my amazing weekend Eclipse experience as an example of how to love yourselves in your humanness and illustrate the 3 common ways we weaponize self-help against ourselves. Enjoy!

In the spirit of Halloween coming up, I thought I’d talk about what we are all actually scared of the most: rejection! The fear of rejection is real in that it prevents us from realizing our dreams, asking that person out we want to most, and puts us in a state of apathy even in life. Why? BECAUSE WE DON’T WANT TO FEEL BAD! It sucks to get rejected. But today on the podcast, I break down why it sucks, what we are actually afraid of, and offer you tools to realize we are only creating a worse experience for ourselves avoiding rejection and the acceptance we all crave in life actually requires embracing this fear and realizing rejection doesn’t have to dictate whether we are “good enough” in life or not.

We live in a world where it is so easy to pretend. It’s easy to present ourselves in a light that looks positive, yet internally we feel awful. You might be surprised to know your brain is hardwired to employ this “toxic positivity” to protect you, but in fact saying “I’m fine” to how you are doing might not be serving you the way you think. In today’s episode, join me in evaluating toxic positivity in our culture, the effect it has upon us, and how we might shift our response from “I’m fine” to “I'm not doing okay, and there’s nothing wrong with that”.

In our modern world, there are two fantasies that we can get stuck in that just aren’t going to serve you in the long run for what you want. One is the fantasy of running away from your emotions and thinking you can just numb yourself of whatever pain you’re feeling. And the other is actually making things harder or bigger than they actually are. Today on the podcast, I explain how to not let these things interfere with your purpose and joy in life. You find joy by experiencing all the emotions in life and you can figure out what you want in life and have the motivation to make it happen when you stop making things that are “micro” “macro” and start being honest with yourself.

We did it! My mom and I ran 15 miles and swam 3 miles all around the island of Mackinac in Michigan. We have been preparing for this day for the last 8 months and let me tell you it was amazing. And we loved it so much and learned so many things from it that I had to have my mom and certified life coach, April Price, on the podcast. I owe everything I am to her and she is such a brilliant mind when it comes to what we discuss today. In today’s episode, you’ll learn the lessons we learned from our SwimRun and how it might just change your life in a totally unrelated way.

So often I have felt the fear of making the wrong choice. Why though? Maybe because I feel the consequences of this decision could ruin my life, that this really matters. Ultimately though this fear actually holds us back from living the life we want. In reality, YOU are the one who makes a decision right, because decisions do not make you feel good or bad. In today’s episode, we discuss this fear, where it comes from, and how to remove your anxiety in decision making and get better at it.

Going back to school has always been my favorite time of the year to set goals for myself. So I want to help you start your semester right in knowing what goals you want to set, why you want to, and how you’re going to get there. Today on the podcast I explore the real reason we even make goals in the first place, what they help us accomplish in our becoming, and how to prepare for the eventual moments where failure will occur, when we don’t feel like doing the goal, when others pressure us to not do the goal, and what you can do to ensure you meet whatever goal you set. This semester won’t be what you expect it to be. It’ll be even better.

I’ve been reflecting on life and death recently. A week before my sister got married, a good friend of mine’s sister died in a tragic accident. Not to mention I saw Oppenheimer 3 times in theaters and cried with the impending fear of an eventual nuclear end to our world. As dark as that all sounds, it has given me the wonderful opportunity to reflect on what matters most in life. What have I been consumed with that if the world were ending wouldn’t be worth it? In today’s episode, we reflect on how we know what matters most in our life and decide what is the kind of life we want to live knowing that our time to get that very thing is limited. As easy as it is to believe that your life doesn’t matter, there’s every reason to also believe it does really matter.

Money has been around forever. And so has worry about money. It’s the reason for divorce, depression, strikes, riots, etc. And it makes sense when it feels like it governs our whole world, especially as we are just starting out. But is worrying about your finances actually helping you? Today we are diving into your thoughts about money, where worry is coming from, what truths about money that are actually lies our brain uses to keep us safe, and how we can escape the madness that is Financial Worry when the world seems to be stuck in it.

When it comes to family, it’s almost as if drama has to be a part of it. Arguments, offending each other, not feeling accepted or wanted, whatever it may look like, seems to always occur when we are with family. But is that such a bad thing? Today on the podcast, I’m talking about the way to peace from your family drama is owning that your family cannot create your emotions and that dropping your expectations of how your family should be showing is the key to making YOURSELF feel better. As right as we feel, WE are the ones who feel better when we drop expectations, grudges, and let ourselves free by letting our family members just be themselves.

So much self-help can feel like it’s about conquering our emotions as if they are something to be vanquished or destroyed. In fact, most of society desires to in fact run away or replace their emotional state with the things of the world. But after this beach vacation, I have been reminded of the value and purpose of emotion in that it helps us have a FULL and COMPLETE life. In today’s episode, learn how to truly “manage” your emotions by letting go of our resistance to them and diving into embracing them fully. Because life is truly because of emotion. Because emotion is kinda the whole point of life. You’ll never get this moment back so why run away from it? Why not embrace it?

So many of us in the world feel unfulfilled and wonder why? It;s no wonder why when you look at the patterns of life we have established. Most of us look for enjoyment and fulfillment in things outside of us really quickly, yet perhaps it comes from within us and doing the harder things we keep putting off. In today’s episode, I explain the formula for fulfillment comes from committing to the hard thing we want to do and THEN celebrating ourselves intentionally. What you putting off that will in fact make you feel better this moment?

We live in a world that doesn’t like to be lonely. Even when we are alone, we feel the urge to be plugged into our phones, tv, social media, all to fill up the air with noise and make us feel better. Then why is loneliness so present when we are so surrounded by people?I] It’s BECAUSE loneliness is created by our thoughts. And I believe there is a great importance to being lonely that we are MISSING OUT on. In today’s episode, you will learn what creates loneliness for human beings, why it matters that we actually experience it, and how to process and allow it so it becomes a transformative experience rather than a depressing one.

One of the great abilities of our brain is to have awareness of our environment, particularly danger. With the way society has developed, we have what I call HYPER-awareness of what is right, wrong, good, bad, going to help us, or not because of the voices of other people so prevalent from media and just our own brains learning from it. But is your HYPER-awareness actually helping you or hindering your progress to getting the life you want? Today on the podcast, I advocate adding a little bit of naivety and a LOT of acceptance as the solution to when our HYPER-awareness halts our progress towards creating that very life. Listen here to learn how to stop this from impacting your dating, your career choices, and even how you feel about your self worth.

“Dating is hard”. “Social media is bad for you”. Phrases like this we’ve heard over and over to the point where they just “make sense”. But is that actually true? Today on the podcast, we’re exploring how so often we confuse the truth for our own thoughts about a situation and forget that we get to CHOOSE if things like dating are hard or if social media is bad for us. There’s nothing wrong with keeping these thoughts, shame doesn’t help either. But the REAL TRUTH is that our thoughts ultimately create the reality of our situation. So is that what you want to be thinking to get where you want to in life?

You graduated! Or at least it’s graduation season and so to kick things off, I wanted to dedicate a whole episode for what to do after.

Today on the podcast, we’re talking about how it’s not always about you! Or rather how having that mindset can actually HELP you take the pressure off your life and show up more confidently as yourself. We talk about thoughts that sound good but are harmful for your mindset, the movie Hustle, the comedian John Crist, and really just ways to help you get out of your head so you can put your problems into perspective and feel better about the great life you genuinely have.

INTRODUCING A NEW CLASS: Stop Social Media From Taking Over Your Life

Today on the podcast, I’m telling you why building your self worth and how you view yourself, your body, your mind, your talents, your life matters! The words you choose to describe yourself matter and determine who you become, not the other way around. I cover Michael Jordan, 127 Hours, why our brains don’t do well in danger situations, and ultimately how you can begin to see the true value that your life is. You have infinite value. You are truly capable of so much. What would be possible if you saw that value in yourself?

Today on the podcast, I explain why the relationship with your own SELF is the most important one and is often the most neglected. If you want anything to improve in your own life or in the lives of others around you, you must address how you feel and care about your own self. 

I walk through several steps you can begin today even with just 5 minutes that will do wonders for you AND help you practice self love, compassion, and allow you to stick to the big goals you have for yourself. You may be tempted to rationalize away the need to focus on this, but I promise you, if you use these tools and don’t listen to your brain’s reasons for not doing it, this can change your life for the better.

DATING AFTER COLLEGE STARTER KIT

Today, I’m talking about comparison, why it’s so instinctual to do and how social media has made it so easy for us in our modern day and age to think that our life isn’t good enough in comparison to what everyone else is doing. It is my philosophy that the best life you can have is YOUR life, whatever that looks like and this DOESN’T you can’t desire change for yourself. 

I discuss how to apply this in our mindset and how to look at other people’s lives as a whole, positive and negative, and to enjoy the “gains” of others and ourselves while recognizing it is totally okay to have comparison thoughts. You just get to choose if they stay and that will determine how satisfied and happy you are with your life.

It’s so easy to feel lost in the modern world today. With so many voices like social media, our parents, roommates, movies & television, all telling us how we should live our lives, we can feel overwhelmed and not know what the right path is for us, in terms of our career, dating, family dynamic, and just general lifestyle. So how do you know what’s right? YOU TRUST YOURSELF!

Today on the podcast, I explain what exactly to do when you are lost and are unsure of what your next decision should be. I explain what will most likely happen at your funeral, walk through the 7 stories exercise to determine exactly what type of career you desire by listening to yourself, and demonstrate how to not listen to your greatest critic (your brain!) when it comes to the fear you will most definitely feel starting anything you want to do. 

Today, I have the great opportunity of having Carlie Palmer-Webb on the podcast. Carlie Palmer-Webb is a sexuality researcher, entrepreneur, enthusiastic Jesus lover, hugger, and The Christian Sex Educator. She earned her master's degree in Marriage, Family, and Human Development. Carlie grew up in a wonderful and loving Christian home, but one where sex was never talked about or mentioned. She has made it her life mission to become the sex educator that she desperately needed.

And she has certainly succeeded in her mission during this podcast. This conversation is FULL of fantastic advice for those of who have shame around the taboo of sex, how to talk about it with people, how to embrace our sexuality while we are single, and how to approach dating without discouragement, and even tips of how to improve our communication skills when we are in a relationship. You are guaranteed to learn something from Carlie in this episode.

Something almost inevitable as a young adult is the concept of the Friendzone. Fundamentally, it’s simply communicating that your feelings are different than the other person or vice versa. Yet our society has made it so easy to avoid honestly communicating our feelings and opting to ghost the person, making things only more difficult and frustrating.

Today, on the podcast, I guide you through the steps to making a friendzone conversation as simple and clear as possible, by being honest, not waiting, not judging, and letting the other person react however they desire. Yes we want to be liked and we don’t want to hurt people. Yet in the end, the best thing always is being honest and letting the other person know early on when you don’t feel the same about them. And for you who have been rejected/friendzoned, I have some advice for you too so stick around.

You know I didn't watch the movie Coco for forever. Why? Because my family said it wasn't very good. And I believed them. I thought that was the fact. I still sometimes have that thought, even after watching it and thinking it's a pretty good movie, my brain will offer me it's theory. Because "that's the way it's always been". This mindset can be hidden in a lot of things you want to be different in your life and if your not careful will prevent you from getting the life you want. 

Today on the podcast, I discuss how we get stuck in the mindset of not getting what we want in life because of our "past" or "things just being that way for us" and debunk it using examples from science, the lottery, and apply it to dating, your career, and your relationship with your family. 

You've probably wondered why you aren't as positive as your friends, or why you keep thinking of the worst case scenario in dating, or never can figure out what you should actually do when it comes to your anxiety, just that it's a problem. This in fact isn't just normal, it's biological. This response is engrained in our brain and it is in fact good that we do recognize problems. The trick is to make the harder effort to actually replace it with a solution.

Today on the podcast, I explain the steps needed to train your brain to seek out the solutions in life that you desire, rather than only dwelling on the problems it is designed to find. If you want to replace your focus on the problems in your life with solutions, you'll want to listen to this episode. 

I remember not liking myself when I looked in the mirror. Or just not being a fan. Or thinking we were okay, but no one liked us or there were things we needed to change. That is until I realized that nothing ever changed with these methods. And I was still me, looking back at me. While you may avoid looking a yourself in the mirror, what I came to learn was how to embrace that, how to really see myself, and how to begin choosing to love even when it didn't feel like there was much to love. 

Today on the podcast, I'm telling you why looking at yourself in the mirror and how you feel about yourself in that moment is truly the most powerful indicator for the direction of your life. I guide you through what it looks like and the objections that you and your brain will have towards doing this simple task. I promise, this episode will change your life if you apply it. 

So often, I see more and more people struggling with overthinking. Thinking it's something they're stuck with and are trying to overcome. But that narrative of overthinking being something that we should get rid of is only keeping us stuck in it. Thinking is a gift that we have as humans. Sure, we are going to overthink and it's not fun by any means, but it doesn't have to hold power over us. We always have a choice. 

Today on the podcast, I’m covering 3 ways to help you stop overthinking FOR GOOD! These principles will truly change the way you think about your overthinking and bring relief to your mind. 

As February begins, you may wonder if you can keep going with your goals. You may be ready to throw in the towel and believe once again that you can’t change the way you want to and it’s not worth it. Do NOT believe this lie.

Today on the podcast, I am changing your mind about change. The only thing preventing from lasting change, are the beliefs you have about yourself. If you want lasting change, you must choose to actively replace your past shame and self doubt with believing in yourself no matter what. And I show you what that looks like.

This is for all you overthinkers, worriers, i-don't-know-where-to-eat-ers, and shamers out there. The reason you are so tired is because you are spending your energy on something that is NOT producing anything useful for you. You recognize that spinning isn't helping, but you can't help it right?! What if I told you that you in fact had control over this, that there was a way to overcome this cycle of thinking. 

Today on the podcast, I teach the concept of decision fatigue and why it is the reason you are running out of energy. Too much energy is wasted in our attention to things that are out of our control or are just lies to our brain. This episode will teach you how to gain that power back in your life. 

We tend to always be rushing in life. Rushing not only from place to place, but especially from each stage of life. As a kid we want to be older and then we want to be an adult, we want to have money in a job and then we want to not have a job, we want to date and then be married and then have kids, all just because it's the next thing. But why aren't we good with where we are at knowing eventually we will get the thing we want in time?

In this episode, I focus on the last piece of advice I have for goals: "there's no need to rush in getting there". If you put in the time every day to do just a little bit, you will eventually get there, it cannot be stopped. This method of approaching goals actually makes it LAST and helps you to not burnout and give up. 

Too often we avoid the small things that actually bring change. All it takes to lose weight is to consume less energy than you burn. All it takes to get good grades is to study more than you usually do. All it takes to make money is to spend less than you earn. Truly, the simplest things in life are the ones we underestimate as being the things that will get you to your BIG GOAL! When in fact they need to be your superpower. 

Today on the podcast, I dive deep into why focusing on the goal doesn't even matter at the end of the day and why your focus needs to be on the small daily actions you take for yourself. Get good at doing the small boring things because change happens in the things we say are too simple and that we can do later in life. 

You are miserable when you are stuck and feel like you have no control over your life and the things you wish were different. And what keeps you stuck is that the things you want to change require you to feel bad when you're whole life you've been conditioned to have things be easier and to feel good all the time. This is the vicious cycle you try to break every year when you set your goals. 

This week on the podcast, learn why we choose to be miserable even if it feels terrible because we would much rather avoid the discomfort required of the things we want. If you want your life to finally be different, this is the episode for reaching exactly the goal you set for yourself from love, fully embracing the hard work required of it. 

It’s no secret that January is famous for the beginning AND ending of many people’s goals. That might even have been the case for you so many times. But it doesn’t have to be this way. The secret: commitment, no matter what.

Today on the podcast I dive deep into what is going to make the most difference towards making it to your goals: commitment. I’m talking about that moment when reality hits and we realize how delusional we are in our goal setting and how to KEEP going and talk to your brain through all the excuses to stop.

Christmas is the best time of year for most of us. And it's easy to see why. Just look around! But would it be wild if I suggested that this was literally ONLY because of how you are thinking? Don't worry, I'm not trying to get you to overthink Christmas. I just want you to consider that if your thinking is what makes Christmas so good, that means the rest of your life can also have the same spirit as Christmas. 

Today on the podcast, I explore the thoughts that make Christmas wonderful, magical, and so full of joy that can transform how we live out next year. There's so much potential in your life for joy BECAUSE of opposition, our thinking is what limits us, not the "facts" of life, you are allowed to be loved and it's more fun if you let yourself be taken care of, you'll feel better when you serve others, and life ain't supposed to be perfect. With these, you can keep the spirit of Christmas with you always.
