Start Your 30-Day Challenge Now: http://TheGreatlLifeExperiment.ca/ Why do small things trigger big fights in relationships? Have you ever wondered why you keep reacting to your partner even when you don’t want to? And why does it feel like the argument is never really about the thing you’re arguing about? In this episode of Real Influence, Joey breaks down why small things trigger you in relationships and how those moments are often tied to old emotional patterns, inherited beliefs, and nervous system reactions you didn’t consciously choose 🤓. If you’ve ever asked yourself “why do tiny annoyances turn into big arguments?” or “why do I overreact to my partner?”, this conversation will hit home. We explore why small things cause big fights, how reacting versus responding in relationships shapes connection, and what’s actually happening in your body when you feel triggered 😄. Joey explains relationship triggers, defensiveness, and emotional reactions in relationships, helping you see conflict not as a failure but as information. This episode is especially for anyone stuck in repeating relationship patterns, struggling with communication in long-term relationships, or feeling frustrated that awareness alone hasn’t stopped the same arguments from happening again. You’ll learn how to stop fighting over small things, how to respond instead of react, and how to interrupt the automatic reactions that damage connection. We also dive into how childhood conditioning shows up in adult relationships, why resentment builds quietly, and how emotional regulation in relationships starts with self-awareness, not control 🤍. If you’re searching for how to heal relationship triggers, how to stop being defensive with your partner, or why your partner triggers you so easily, this episode gives you language and clarity. This isn’t relationship advice about fixing your partner. It’s about breaking emotional loops, choosing conscious response, and learning how to create healthier, calmer, more connected relationships from the inside out. 🔔 SUBSCRIBE for weekly episodes on self-mastery, relationships, emotional regulation, and living in alignment. 👍 LIKE this video if it resonated and SHARE it with someone who needs to hear it.

Start Your 30-Day Challenge Now: http://TheGreatlLifeExperiment.ca/ Why do you keep doing the “right things” but still feel stuck? Why does it feel like something inside you is blocking your goals no matter how hard you try? Why does your mind keep pulling you back into old patterns you swore you were done with? If you’ve ever wondered “Why am I sabotaging myself even when I want to change?”, this episode is going to feel like relief. Today, I’m breaking down the five mindset frameworks that completely rewired my life, ended my daily suffering, and helped me shift out of fear, resistance, self-doubt, burnout, and survival mode. 🤓 These aren’t theories. These are the exact tools I learned after privately coaching with David Bayer, going through every level of his program, and investing over six figures into understanding why our beliefs, stories, and emotional patterns silently dictate our results. If you’ve been feeling like you’re driving with the brakes on, this will help you see exactly where that resistance is hiding. You’ll learn the formula Desire + Non-Resistance = Desired Result, the real truth behind the primal vs. powerful state, and how to identify when your mind is lying to you. You’ll also hear how neural sculpting, evidence-building, and the decision matrix helped me stop feeling overwhelmed, trapped, or constantly behind in life. By the end, you’ll understand how beliefs create thoughts, thoughts create feelings, feelings create actions, and actions create your results and most importantly, how to rewrite that loop from the inside out. If this helped you feel even 1% more hopeful, drop a comment with the belief you’re ready to release and the new belief you’re choosing. Let’s rewire your patterns together. And if you want to go deeper, join me inside The Great Life Experiment, a free 30-day journey where I send you one powerful question each day to help you live with more clarity, peace, alignment, and purpose.

You’ll learn why achievements alone don’t create inner peace, how to break free from autopilot living, and what it really takes to align your life with what matters most. He shares his own story of outward success without fulfillment—dream job, business ventures, financial wins—paired with the inner emptiness that came with constantly chasing the next milestone. From there, he unpacks 3 life-changing insights: ✨ You’re too focused on outcomes – chasing the next achievement keeps you on a treadmill that never ends. ✨ You’re not addressing your beliefs – limiting beliefs about money, love, rest, and success shape how you experience every win. ✨ You’re not living your life – postponing joy until “someday” keeps you from fully experiencing the life you’ve already built. You’ll discover how to reframe success through practices like gratitude, self-reflection, and intentional living. Joey introduces tools like the “decision matrix” to help you shift limiting beliefs about money and happiness, and he shows why living life as an experiment, rather than a never-ending chase, is the real path to fulfillment. This conversation is about more than motivation—it’s about practical daily shifts that help you step off autopilot, break free from hustle culture, and finally experience what life can feel like when you’re living in alignment. Whether you’re a high achiever, a parent wanting more family time, or someone feeling “crispy” at the edges of burnout, you’ll walk away with clarity and tools you can apply right now. 👉 Inside this episode, you’ll learn: ✨ Why achievements won’t fulfill you if you’re chasing outcomes ✨ How to stop chasing and start living ✨ The truth about why success doesn’t equal happiness ✨ How to reframe beliefs about money, rest, and time ✨ Practical tools for building a life of alignment and purpose ✨ Why gratitude is the key to fulfillment today—not someday If you’ve ever thought “I’ll be happy once I get there,” this episode is your reminder that your best life begins now. 💡 Ready to go deeper?

93.The 4D Exercise That Helps You Create the Life You Actually Want 09/15/2025

93.The 4D Exercise That Helps You Create the Life You Actually Want Have you ever felt like you’re doing all the right things but still not living the life you truly want? What if the gap between where you are and where you want to be wasn’t about time, but about identity? And what if you could step into your future self today and watch your reality shift instantly? In this episode, we dive into the 4D Exercise, a powerful tool that helps you design your life from the inside out. It’s not about wishful thinking or waiting years for things to change. It’s about aligning your desires, your current identity, your future identity, and then choosing to live as that person now. What you’ll discover in this episode: Why most people stay stuck repeating the same patterns How your current identity silently shapes your reality The exact steps to create alignment between who you are and who you want to become The mindset shift that turns your goals from “someday” into today This exercise was born out of real coaching experiences and the powerful insights of David Bayer, a leader in mindset and transformational work. It challenges you to go beyond surface-level self-improvement and actually embody your future self now. When you practice this framework, you’ll start to notice: Greater clarity about what you truly want More confidence in your decisions A sense of ease because you’re no longer waiting for “someday” Alignment between your thoughts, actions, and desired outcomes The 4D Exercise works because it reprograms how you see yourself. Instead of being trapped in your current limitations, you begin to step into possibility. You start acting from the perspective of the person who already has the results you want. And when your actions align with that identity, reality follows. If you’ve ever felt like you’re trapped in cycles of self-sabotage, or like your goals are always out of reach, this episode will give you a framework to shift everything. Ask yourself: Who do I need to be right now to align with my desires? The truth is, you don’t have to wait years to live the life you want. You just need to choose your future identity and embody it today. Want to go deeper? Join me for The Great Life Experiment: 30 Days to Rewire Your Reality. This isn’t about adding more to your to-do list, it’s about living differently. Each day, you’ll practice simple but powerful shifts that reconnect you with curiosity, alignment, and the person you truly want to be. Imagine where you could be in just 30 days if you stopped waiting for “someday” and started living as your future self now.

92.Why Positive Thinking Didn't Work for You (And What Actually Does) 09/15/2025

92.Why Positive Thinking Didn't Work for You (And What Actually Does) Have you ever wondered why positive thinking doesn’t work for you? Why the law of attraction fails even when you visualize every day? Or why manifestation feels hard no matter how many vision boards you create? If you’ve been asking these questions, this episode is for you. In this conversation, I break down why manifestation isn’t working the way you’ve been told and what actually creates lasting results. For years, I was chasing outcomes, hustling harder, and trying to “think positive,” but deep down I felt frustrated, stuck, and even burned out. I discovered that the missing pieces were surrender, acceptance, and learning how to feel my goals into reality, not just think them. What we’ll explore together: Why positive thinking doesn’t work (and the real missing link to manifestation) The hidden trap of chasing outcomes instead of building a life you actually love How to use the Decision Matrix to rewire limiting beliefs and end self-sabotage The Echo Effect and why your external reality always lags behind your inner shifts The truth about overachiever burnout and how to get results by doing less Why the subconscious mind is the real driver of success and how to reprogram it Whether you’ve tried affirmations, vision boards, or endless mindset coaching sessions, you’ll learn why those tools sometimes fail and how to shift into an abundance mindset that feels effortless. This is where ease over hustle becomes the secret to creating not only success, but genuine fulfillment. Practical strategies you’ll hear: How to stop chasing outcomes and start enjoying the process of your life How to overcome doubt in manifestation and believe in your goals How to create a life of alignment instead of living on autopilot How to attract success effortlessly by feeling into your vision How to build momentum and produce results while spending less time This isn’t about quick fixes or surface-level motivation. This is about personal growth, mindset shifts, and lifestyle design that actually last. If you’ve ever thought “manifestation not working for me” or “why the law of attraction fails,” this episode will connect the dots in a way that finally makes sense. So if you’re ready to stop the cycle of self-sabotage, let go of limiting beliefs, and start living from a place of abundance mindset and surrender, hit play now.
