My parent's house burned to the ground last Novembere. It was a tragedy. And an amazing learning opportunity on how having too much stuff weighs us down, and how buying, and keeping less stuff means more happiness. 

It's easy to be inspired to make big lifestyle changes short term, but how do you make them last and give you the happier life you deserve?

It's so easy to get caught up in what we want, what we think will make us happy - fancy new homes, new friends, a new car, whatever. But what we actually want is to feel differently. 

Multitasking is so 2005. It's time to take your happiness, focus and productivity to a new level using the flow state. 

2020 is coming to an end. To create some real positive change for the next year, it's time to really think about, and write about all the wins, and loses from last year and set your intentions for 2021. 

Times are tough, and weird, and confusing. But I want to help you find the inner strength to make the most of these unique times and rise to the occasion. 

Technology has both a strong positive and negative affect on our lives. This recording helps you learn how to figure out and take action on when your phone, laptop, tablet, social media and more are serving and not serving your life. 

Learning to properly process our emotions is key to finding lasting happiness, and releasing ourselves from everything from insecurities to chronic pain! 

Getting healthy often takes more than changing just one aspect in your life. I overview all the most important aspects of getting healthy. 

It's hard to believe, but the biggest thing holding us back in our lives is ourselves. And the best way to stop getting in the way of our own happiness is through positive affirmations and reprogramming our thinking. 

These relatively easy exercises will change your mindset and allow more lasting happiness no matter what's happening in your life or where you're starting from. 

It's easy to get caught up in hacks and trendy wellness stuff, but you must have a solid foundation of health to feel the true vitality and happiness that you deserve. This is a reminder of those four necessary pillars of health. 

It's easy to get overwhelmed by anxiety. But understanding the underlying causes - our fight or flight mechanism, and how to manage it, can release us from anxiety and bring us a happier, calmer existence. 

The Ancient Stoic Philosophy is gaining new popularity as it's ancient wisdom shines the light on ways for people in today's world to experience less unhappiness and more happiness. 

Money may not be the key to happiness, but it can be the cause of endless stress. Understand your current relationship with money and changing it to a more positive one can lead to a much more stress-free life financially. 

It's easy to forget one incredibly essential aspect of good health: positive relationships. Learn how they affect your wellness and how to get more out of your relationships! 

To truly experience long term growth and happiness, we need to reach a deeper level of self-awareness, or the term I recently starting to use, being 'Self Woke.' 

Sleep is absolutely essential for your health and well being. It's time to start taking your sleep more seriously. 

It can be very difficult to find compassion sometimes when you're at odds with someone. But taking the time to understand their point of view can create a better, happier world for you, them, and everyone! 

In order to really accelerate our self-growth journey, maximize our potential, minimize our flaws and experience true radical self-acceptance, we need to get what I call, 'self-woke.' This recording helps you learn how. 

Personal growth is a lifelong journey. As we get older and our lives change, so do our different needs and lifestyle requirements in order to optimize our health and happiness. The key is to always keep experimenting, checking in, learning, growing, and evolving! 


Never Stop Learning, Growing & Evolving

If you want to take your self-growth work to the next level, you have to get (a term I coined) 'Self-Woke.' This means to dig deep to a new level of honesty and radical self-acceptance that lets you see how things are and evolve your life. 

How to Get 'Self-Woke'

I've had plenty of conflicts in my life, and I've gradually learned some techniques on how to resolve conflicts in a better way and I hope these tips will help you solve your conflicts more productively too! 

It can be stressful and confusing to know what to do when someone you're close to is struggling or going through trauma. These are the things I've learned over the years on what to do and what not to do to help your loved ones and yourself get through it. 

When Your Loved Ones are Struggling

It's been a hell of a year. But the best way to move forward, learn from our mistakes and set ourselves up for our best year ever is to get down all the positives and negatives from last year and plan how we want our next year to go. This is about more than some superficial resolutions!
