Self-doubt is one of the biggest dream-killers on the planet.
Not because it means anything about who we are, but because we believe it does.

In Episode 155: The Self-Doubt Hack, we break down a simple, powerful three-step process to work with self-doubt in a way that stops it from derailing your ideas, your confidence, and your forward momentum. Instead of spiraling or shutting down the moment doubt pops up, you’ll learn how to meet it with clarity, curiosity, and strategy.

This is a practical episode you can return to every time you feel yourself wobble.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode

• Why self-doubt is a completely normal brain response—not a red flag
• The importance of learning the language your body speaks to give you information
• The process of allowing your doubt without fusing with it
• How to look underneath your doubt to understand what it’s protecting, what it’s afraid of, and whether any action is actually needed
• How to collect intentional evidence and support building your self doubt tolerance
• How evidence interrupts the doubt cycle and builds new, regenerative belief
• When to do nothing, when to do something, and how to tell the difference
• Why this process keeps your ideas alive long enough to become real

Self-doubt doesn’t disappear on its own, and it doesn’t need to.
But when you know how to work with it, you stop letting it steer your behavior.
You regain access to your creativity, your courage, and the version of you who takes brave, aligned action.

Try the hack.
Use it this week.
And watch what shifts.

In Episode 154, we have some big announcements for new content, programs and courses. We’re also breaking down how to get ahead of one of the most important pieces of human wiring you’ll ever understand: the Motivational Triad.

This ancient operating system—designed to help humans survive saber-toothed tigers and harsh winters—is still running the show inside our modern brains. And even though it once kept us alive, now it keeps us stuck.

In today’s world, this default wiring creates a net negative in our lives. Because while it kept early humans from being eaten, it does nothing to help us build relationships, set boundaries, grow businesses, create art, change habits, or pursue dreams.

This episode helps you see where the triad is running your life—and how to upshift out of it using the prefrontal cortex, the part of your brain that can plan, align actions with values, and make intentional decisions.


What You’ll Learn in This Episode

• What the motivational triad is and why it no longer serves the life you want today.
• How the triad shows up in modern life through people-pleasing, overworking, scrolling, sugar, avoidance, and staying small.
• Why doing what’s easy often feels productive (like overworking) but is actually avoidance in disguise.
• How to shift from your primitive brain into your prefrontal cortex to choose aligned, intentional actions.
• A practical exercise to analyze your current goal through the lens of the triad—and design a plan that actually matches the outcome you want.
• Real examples from my students this week: parenting pressure, overwork-as-hiding, holiday family dynamics, business avoidance, and behavior patterns we all fall into.

Once you identify where the triad is steering you, you can interrupt the pattern. You can decide how you want to show up and rehearse that response ahead of time—so when the moment comes, you’re already prepared.

We’re getting out of the cave.
Off the couch.
Putting down the Pringles.
And building lives we’re proud of—on purpose.

This week, we’re getting practical.

In Episode 153: Problem Solving, I walk you through a real-life example of using multiple tools I’ve taught before on the podcast—and show you exactly how to apply them when life throws you a curveball.

Here’s the setup: I’m hosting a three-day Lovefest in the desert for 80 people—an outdoor celebration that’s been months in the making. And three days before it begins, the forecast calls for…rain. Buckets of it. No indoor venues, no easy backup plan, and a lot of people flying in from all over the world. Meanwhile, I’m still working full time, parenting, and running life as usual.

In this episode, I show you exactly what I did when my brain wanted to spiral into overwhelm—and how I used my problem-solving toolkit to navigate the chaos calmly, strategically, and creatively.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode

• Why the first tool we reach for isn’t always the right one for the job.
• How to know which kind of problem-solving approach to use—depending on whether you’re in the emotional, strategic, or tactical phase of processing.
• Three categories of tools you can choose from:
  1. Mindset reset – shifting your thinking when your brain goes negative.
  2. Obstacle prediction & strategy – anticipating challenges and creating grounded plans.
  3. Emotional processing & curiosity – handling your inner experience before taking external action.
• The critical reminder that we never use tools and teachings against ourselves—no self-blame, no “shoulds.”
• Why making requests of others is often the final step, not the first one—after we’ve done our own emotional and cognitive work.
• How to reflect after the storm passes—so every challenge becomes a blueprint for your next success.

By the end of this episode, you’ll see how these tools come together in real time—and you’ll leave with a clear map for how to move from overwhelm to empowered action, no matter what kind of problem life serves up.
