This ep. I'm getting real with a topic that frequently comes up in my Life Coaching private sessions.

In this ep. I'm diving into the cliche self-help topic that I have an ABSOLUTE love, yet slight disdain for - Authenticity. I love it, because I believe it is one of the essential keys to living a fulfilling, and wholly happy life. I dislike it, because I think it is thrown around and misunderstood. Today, I'm talking deep authenticity. The stuff when we feel like we're connected and living from our own inner-wisdom. Specifically this ep covers:A definition of Authenticity - have to start with what it actually ISThe pre-requisites to authenticity - how to start becoming more authentic5 attributes that indicate connection with your authentic self.

I looked back at my clients over the last 12 months and tried to summarize what they came to me seeking help with. I was actually surprised to see 3 themes emerge quite rapidly.

Today's guest is an Unconventional Mindfulness Facilitator & former cynical pessimist. She’s the woman that was ticking all the boxes but wasn’t necessarily feeling that deep sense of lasting satisfaction that most of us crave. Perhaps the best description ever – she felt like an empty coloring book. She’s a specialist in helping people not buy into the sometimes destructive mind-chatter that most of us experience. As she puts it, Andrea helps indecisive overachievers to get clear on their direction and sense of self by learning to tame their mind.In today's ep. I'm getting to the nitty gritty of mindfulness with Andrea. I really was wanting to understand what it meant to her, and why I might want to practice mindfulness. Specifically, we cover the following:How she defines MindfulnessWhat the ultimate aim of mindfulness practices areHow by separating our sense of self from our minds, we can become more powerful, clearer and feel more aliveWhat we can do when we need a mindfulness hitHow me

Most of have a tendency to get stuck on distractions, and sometimes drama, and often the most important stuff gets pushed aside.Today I'm talking about how to make sure the Important stuff (the things that matter most in your life) don't fall by the wayside and become dominated by the things that are nosier and demand your attention more - the Urgent things.Because a life well-lived is one where you're focusing on, and spending your time on, the stuff that matters most. In this ep. I talk through the Franklin-Covey Time Management Matrix. To see an image, head to my website: www.thrive.how/podcast61.This concept is spoken about in depth in Stephen Covey's book - The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People - under Habit 3: Put First Things First.

This is a two part series. In the first part of the interview, I’m talking to the CEO of Insight Timer, Christopher Plowman, about their amazing App, what it does, what it is going to do, and what those behind Insight Timer are driven by.If you’re not familiar with it, Insight Timer is the biggest little meditation app you’ve never heard of [as the CEO puts it himself in this interview]. More people meditate on Insight Timer than do on Headspace, but it’s all been organic, word of mouth growth. It’s that awesome product that you can’t help but share with everyone once you know about it. Hence the reason I’m talking to you about it!Insight Timer is different in that it is a community platform. They provide the platform, and teachers upload their content. What that means is that you can find every type of mediation imaginable, and it’s all > FREE! <But why are they, the people behind the Insight Timer platform, invested in this objective – of providing to free meditation to all – anyway? how do they inten
