This week’s episode is a very special one… and an emotional one for me. My great friend Joe Pangelinan, a 2-time guest on the podcast (Ep. 219 & Ep. 352), unfortunately passed away last week (April 14th, 2026) after his valiant fight and courageous battle with Stage-IV lung cancer.

Discouraged or Depressed? Or Encouraged & Inspired? Flip the Switch & Get Your Mind Right | Ep. 474
Todd Durkin IMPACT Show
I had a conversation with Pastor David Jeremiah last week that spurred on this episode of being discouraged or depressed OR encouraged and inspired. “Dr. J” asked if I ever get discouraged or depressed and I thought about it and then answered him. Truth is, even the strongest among us—the leaders, the parents, the entrepreneurs, the coaches—the ones everyone looks at and says, “they’ve got it all together”… they still go through seasons where they feel tired, heavy, or even discouraged. And maybe that’s you right now. You’re showing up....

Todd Durkin IMPACT Show
I’m just days away from opening IMPACT-X Performance, my new life- transformational center (gym + recovery + coaching) here in San Diego and I couldn’t be more excited.

Redefining Stress & The Stress Recovery Game Plan | Ep. 468 with Derek Clark
Todd Durkin IMPACT Show
Stress. We all feel it in some way…big or small. And it’s not that stress is actually bad. It’s that under-recovered stress is potentially deadly. This week on the IMPACT SHOW, we’re talking about something every single one of us deals with — stress. And not just surface-level stress. I’m talking about the kind that builds quietly over time. The kind that high performers carry. The kind that can cost you your health if you’re not careful. My guest today is Derek Clark — performance coach, speaker, and founder of the Stress Recovery Game Plan. Derek’s...
info_outlineHappy Thanksgiving week and I know this season upon which we enter is a sacred one. While we want to fill our buckets up with gratitude, peace, and joy, it’s easy to be overrun with busy-ness, chaos, angst, stress, and overwhelm. As we head into Thanksgiving week and the holiday season, I wanted to slow things down…take a deep breath… and talk about two of the most powerful forces we have in our lives: Gratitude and Grace. If you want to feel more joy, more peace, more purpose and even more love, gratitude and grace are the gateway.
Today, I want to share 7 things I’m especially grateful for this Thanksgiving and then I want to talk about how grace shows up—even in the imperfect, messy, beautiful parts of our lives. Let’s dive in now:
I’m particularly GRATEFUL for:
- Family. Pumped to be heading to South Carolina to celebrate Thanksgiving in the Carolina’s.
- The amazing Retreat we just had and the 110 SOULS who said ‘Yes’ to being in the Room. Included are some of my top takeaways from Retreat…
- Health…on all levels physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually.
- The Trials, Tests, & Tribulations. Yep. Sounds strange but I’m grateful for the struggles and pain as it got me to where I’m at today. And I’ve learned to be grateful in the ‘hard seasons.’
- My Life’s Work—Coaching, Inspiring, & Leading people to be THEIR best. I’m
grateful for the calling on my life to coach, motivate, teach, and transform lives. - Friends & the IMPACT Community. I’m grateful for the people who inspire me, challenge me, stretch me, and support me. And people just like you listening to the podcast or reading the Shownotes or even one of my books. Thank you. We have one heckuva Community and I’m grateful for you.
- Opportunity & Possibility. I’m grateful for the open doors, the new projects, the ideas, the creativity, the energy that flows when you’re aligned with your purpose.
- Faith…it has carried me through the highest mountains and the lowest valleys.
Additionally, I share the difference between GRATITUDE and GRACE and define what GRACE really is. This Thanksgiving, I pray that you not only feel gratitude… but that you extend grace—to others, and to yourself.
Here is your Thanksgiving Challenge
This week, take 5 minutes each morning and write down:
- 3 things you’re grateful for
- 1 person you want to extend grace toward
CLOSING PRAYER
God, thank You for the blessings in our lives—seen and unseen, big and small.
Thank You for family, for health, for purpose, for love, and for the breath in our lungs.
Help us to live with gratitude, to lead with grace, and to be a light in the world.
Amen.
FINAL WORD
From the Durkin family to your family…Happy Thanksgiving. May your heart be full of gratitude, your spirit grounded in grace, and your life be overflowing with IMPACT.
