Respark Your Life
“Ask yourself if you’re okay, if you’re happy with what you’re doing.

EP340: Eric Gee - The Power Of Personality
Respark Your Life
“Knowing yourself gives you permission to play your own game instead of someone else’s.” Every person moves through life with a built-in compass—an invisible pattern that shapes decisions, ambitions, and reactions. When that compass points toward your authentic values, effort feels natural and success flows more easily. When it points elsewhere, friction appears: work feels forced, relationships misfire, and progress drags. The key to alignment isn’t imitation or discipline; it’s self-knowledge. Understanding what truly motivates you turns confusion into clarity and...

EP339: Blake Lefkoe - Your Beliefs Are Holding You Back
Respark Your Life
“Beliefs drive every pattern. So people can have any issue and getting rid of the beliefs will change your pattern. You’re literally nullifying the triggers.” Our beliefs are invisible forces shaping the way we see ourselves, others, and the opportunities in front of us. Some are empowering, but many quietly sabotage our growth—dictating our choices, relationships, and even how we define success. The most limiting ones are often formed in childhood, when we give meaning to painful or confusing events and decide “that’s just how life is.” But these meanings aren’t...

Respark Your Life
“Resilience is defined as having the ability to bounce back. Adaptability is all about having the ability to bounce higher.” True growth begins the moment we stop resisting what life brings us. Change isn’t the enemy—it’s the invitation. Every obstacle, every disruption, every unwelcome surprise can become a spark for transformation when we learn to see it through the lens of adaptability.
