#487 Becoming the Best You!
Pro You Podcast
Hello and happy Thursday! The second half of this episode's title: "Is not about you being comfortable". It is truly the Hero's Journey. One leaves what is familiar and faces the unknown, uncertain and unfamiliar. While on this path one will find consistent discomfort. That is why one grows along this path. It is a path of personal growth. Tom had quite a few sticky notes but not a consistent theme. Then Tom got a new client and the personal trainer version that he is now came out. Tom had the experience, the clarity and the awareness to truly prepare this new client for what was ahead. One of...

#486 A TEST
Pro You Podcast
Hello and happy Thursday! Tom has consistently taken notes; plans out and organizes the info before he records a podcast. The title "A Test" is about the physical and mental test Tom has experienced the past two months. His next choice also became a bit of a test. He awoke on Sunday morning and decided to record a podcast sharing the story but he hadn't taken any notes - no sticky notes. In the past, Tom used to just grab the mic and begin recording. So it became a 'test within a test' recording this episode. Then, right before he began recording, he experienced computer issues. Now, a test...

#485 I'd Rather Be Calm.
Pro You Podcast
Hello and happy Thursday! The title is from a dear friend that Tom chats with frequently. They kept passing it back and forth and pretty soon Tom had shared it with clients. It was truly resonating. So Tom asked for his friend's permission to use it as the title and permission was granted! When someone is on a Pro You path of personal growth, they are on the lookout for tools, steps, doorways, new grooves, anything and everything they can find that assists in their journey of self discovery. But as they continue to grow, they will continue to discover new things that resonate in new ways. So...

#484 A Canadian Experience Part VI
Pro You Podcast
Hello and happy Thursday! Well, it has been a month since we've last heard from the Canadian Assassin's Niko and Kosta, so Tom thought what a great excuse to check in with the dynamic duo and see how they are doing after just over a month of finishing their four week intensive challenge. Well, when Tom received an email from Niko just two hours before their meeting for Part Six stating they were both excited and they had stories to share, that's all Tom needed to hear! What a great final (?) episode and what an inspiring story to end with. The final thing Tom said to the duo was "None of what...

#483 The Story Vs. Reality
Pro You Podcast
Hello and happy Thursday! It feels like Tom has done a lot of episodes recently. Well, it's because he has! He's hoping that's a good thing! The flexibility Tom gave himself to simply record a PYP episode when he felt he had something of meaning to share also allowed him to be open to the possibility of having more to share - which means more episodes. This episode is almost a Part 2 of the previous episode. It picks up exactly where the last one ended. The positive was Tom's level of awareness in those moments. Once again it is not all wonderful and unicorns, but the 'good/donut' is that Tom...

#482 The Power of Consistency

Hello and happy Thursday! Never before has Tom had an experience recording a PYP episode as he did this episode.

The good news is Tom was very aware as he observed himself and got through the obstacles and the funk to record...

Pro You Podcast
Hello and happy Thursday! Part 3 of 'A Canadian Experience' is up and ready to be listened to and it just gets better each week! It is a true Pro You story!

There were wonderful results Part 1 and every session there is just more and more! Is it easy, fun or without mistakes - no. But the only way to a better version of you is embracing it and...
info_outlineHello and happy Thursday! Tom was thinking he might have an episode a week after his last episode looking at his sticky notes. Then the tipping point; Tom remembered what happened nine years ago today. He knew he would record an episode that would come out on 'Thursday' (some folk call it Thanksgiving) which Tom doesn't celebrate. But what Tom will celebrate is that exactly nine years ago on a 'Thursday' he had spent it alone and had an amazingly quiet, peaceful, rewarding day. He knew he had spent the last year and a half depressed and he was coming out of it. And he was thankful everyday. The very next morning Tom knew he wanted to start a podcast. He knew what his message would be. To be thankful and mindful. Tom has not left that path or swayed from that message in the last nine years. And Tom has only gotten better. Tom sharing his experiences is part of his reward, part of enjoying the fruits of his labor. Enjoy and as always thanks for listening!
Take a deep breath slowly in through your nose. Hold it. Release that breath slowly out of your mouth. What's one thing you are grateful for? The Pro You Podcast is grateful you are here - taking the first step on your path to deeming yourself worthy. Worthy of being the best version of yourself you can possibly be.
