In this episode, I share some thoughts on doubt and how much space it takes up in our lives. Doubt can occupy a significant portion of our lives, often overshadowing our sense of certainty and self-confidence. This episode emphasizes the importance of acknowledging and regulating our emotions, particularly doubt, which can feel like a volcano ready to erupt. I share personal anecdotes about my journey, illustrating that even when it seems like others have it all together, they, too, grapple with similar feelings of uncertainty.

In this episode, I am sharing the message of being "cracked open" by life's challenges and how these moments can lead to personal growth and clarity. I begin by sharing a powerful quote from Rebecca Campbell's book, "Light is the New Black," which emphasizes the importance of embracing the things that break us down, as they ultimately allow the light to shine through. This is a personal episode as I share the story of my husband, Brad, a Master’s Olympic lifter, who faced a serious injury during a competition. As he set national records, he suffered a painful elbow injury that required...

In this episode, I share my thoughts on the concept of readiness and how it is a lie. I challenge the notion that we must feel 100% ready before starting new ventures. Drawing from personal experiences, I emphasize that readiness often results from taking the leap, not a prerequisite. I encourage listeners to reflect on their own lives and consider times when they felt prepared entirely—chances are, those moments are few and far between. I also touch on the significance of identity work, urging listeners to envision the person they aspire to be and to act as if they are already that...

In this episode, I highlight the importance of awareness in recognizing these limiting beliefs. I discuss how our subconscious can drive us back to familiar patterns, often leading to self-sabotage. I encourage listeners to confront these thoughts and reframe them, asking themselves whether they are valid. Doing so can interrupt the negative loops that keep us from reaching our full potential. Things can become easier, but they never truly become easy. As we grow, we often confront subconscious beliefs that can hinder our progress. I candidly share my experiences of feeling nervous and...

In this episode, I explore how we can shift our mindset from feeling like an imposter to embracing our authority. I start by posing a thought-provoking question: How would you like to perceive imposter syndrome differently? I emphasize that authority doesn't have to be a triggering term; it can simply mean owning your life and your message. Throughout the episode, I discuss the common reasons behind imposter syndrome, such as caring deeply about our work and comparing ourselves to others who seem more experienced. I highlight the importance of recognizing that we often compare our beginning to...

In this episode, I dive into how big you allow yourself to dream. Where do you see yourself in two to three years? Will you live your dream, or will you still be in the planning, thinking, or avoiding phases? Throughout the episode, I emphasize the role of our subconscious mind in shaping our beliefs and goals. Many people settle for comfortable and familiar aspirations, but I urge you to break free from that mindset. By examining your past achievements and recognizing how far you've come, you can begin to dream beyond what you think is possible. HIGHLIGHTS 00:01:00 - The Importance of...

In this episode, I share some stats about the sheer volume of daily thoughts—between 60,000 and 80,000, with a staggering 80-90% being repetitive and predominantly negative. This repetition can create thick neural pathways in our brains, reinforcing doubts, fears and limiting beliefs. I use a vivid analogy comparing our thoughts to a hairdryer cord, illustrating how negative thoughts can become strong and durable while positive thoughts often remain fragile and underdeveloped. Throughout the episode, I encourage listeners to recognize the power of their language and internal dialogue. I...
info_outlineIn this episode I am speaking with Coach, fighter pilot instructor, author, Dominic Teich.
Goal oriented individuals get frustrated because of setbacks and limited time to learn the right path. Since fighter pilots are trained to make split decisions at 800+ miles per hour I created the largest online group of fighter pilots to guide action takers in short, impactful steps, so that they can control their own success and avoid the wrong path to failure.
Dom “Slice” Teich brings his fighter pilot background and applies them to guide pilots, athletes, business owners, and students with afterburner techniques that American fighter pilots use to ensure mission completion. As an Amazon best-selling author, business owner, entrepreneur, civilian and military instructor pilot, he knows that busy individuals and teams struggle with information overload.
In this episode we discuss:
1) The concept of a trash can and how we spend our lives stuffing everything into a trash can (our emotions, feelings, stories, challenges) and eventually the trash can isn’t big enough and we have to add dumpster after dumpster until our body decides that it’s enough and it starts to shut down until we choose to do the work to unpack and start the healing process.
2) How we all have to create and own our own definition of success and underneath that definition of success is the meaning or significance of success and this typically requires us to think outside of ourselves and follow a purposeful mission that can impact others.
3) How we as humans can learn to embrace some of the lessons of a fighter pilot and trust ourselves to make faster decisions. We tend to think and overthink before making decisions and that never moves things forward for us, plus it wastes our energy and our time.
