    Why Motivation Doesn’t Work: Mastering the Art of Showing Up for Yourself with Dre Baldwin

    Why Motivation Doesn’t Work: Mastering the Art of Showing Up for Yourself with Dre Baldwin

    We will learn:

    The secret pivotal stage that comes after you've mastered tough tasks

    Why forcing discipline is a flawed strategy, and how to inject structure into your routine

    The life-altering shift that happens when you reduce the space between idea and action


    Can you be real with yourself for a moment? A part of you already knows what you want. And you know what you need to do. The hard part is actually getting yourself to do the thing.

    The problem is that our comfort zones are… comfy. We don’t like to leave them.

    But if you keep making the decisions you’ve always made, you’re going to keep building up walls that keep you where you are.

    You are responsible for the life you create. No one’s going to do it for you. So, knowing that how can you bring yourself to give and produce your best when you least feel like it?

    Today we’re going to figure that out. Our guest is Dre Baldwin. He is CEO and Founder of Work On Your Game Inc. He has given 4 TEDx Talks and has authored 35 books.

    Dre had a 9-year professional basketball career, playing in 8 countries. And his framework is the "roadmap in reverse" for professional mindset, strategy, systems, and execution

    The Deep Impact of Childhood Experiences on Adult Love with Psychotherapist Jessica Baum

    The Deep Impact of Childhood Experiences on Adult Love with Psychotherapist Jessica Baum

    We will learn:
    • The unspoken emotional pacts we make in relationships.
    • How to manage anxious attachments.
    • The powerful steps to sit with your past wounds, understand their impact, and start to heal.

    Have you ever found yourself wondering why certain feelings just won't leave you be? Like you're carrying this invisible backpack filled with emotions that somehow seem too familiar, no matter where you go or who you're with? 

    You might have asked yourself, why do these bits of the past cling so stubbornly, shaping not just moments, but your very life story?

    See, the thing is, we're all a product of our experiences, but sometimes, it's not the ones you can outright remember that have the tightest grip. It's those subtle, often overlooked emotional imprints from our youngest years that silently steer the ship of our behavior, relationships, and, yes, even our self-worth.

    But here's a kicker: these same shadows, as painful as they can be, also have the power to lead to the most profound understanding of ourselves. 

    Today, we're diving into just how much of our adult selves are blueprints scribbled in our young minds. Our guest is Jessica Baum. She is the founder of the Relationship Institute of Palm Beach. She has helped thousands of clients with her unique approach to healing, the Self-full® Method.

    Decoding the Mind-Food Connection with Nutritionist Kim Shapira

    Decoding the Mind-Food Connection with Nutritionist Kim Shapira

    We will learn:

    How to recognize and manage self-denial with food

    How to decode your body’s food language

    How to find serenity in indulgence


    Have you ever felt trapped by your own thoughts about food and eating? Like you’re stuck in a cycle and can’t get out? 
    Right now, there's a big push against labeling any food as "bad." I agree that no one should feel shame about what they eat. For me, though, learning how our bodies react to certain foods was a game-changer. Realizing that many processed foods are engineered to be addictive shifted the blame away from my so-called lack of willpower to understanding the science behind it.
    Personally, I don't classify all items as food; some are just lab creations to me. And some people feel like that is shaming…
    I get that my approach might not jive with everyone's latest theories, but it's what's worked for me and others I know. However, I emphasize, what works for me doesn’t work for everyone. In today’s episode I’m going to give space to someone with a different view that has worked with more people than I have personally around this topic. 
    So today we’re changing our relationship with food in whatever way works for us.
    Our guest is Kim Shapira. She is a celebrity dietitian, nutritional therapist, and author, with a Bachelor of Science in Kinesiology from Tulane University and a Master’s degree in Human Metabolism and Clinical Nutrition from Boston University. Kim has spent over 25 years helping people lose weight and keep it off (with a giant emphasis on keeping it off).

    Rising from Self-Loss: Reclaiming Yourself and Anchoring Your Authentic Identity with Sara Kuburic

    Rising from Self-Loss: Reclaiming Yourself and Anchoring Your Authentic Identity with Sara Kuburic

    We will learn:

    The hidden phenomenon of self-loss that might be dictating your life choices without you even knowing it.

    How to differentiate between empowering oneself and using "authenticity" as an excuse for unhelpful behaviors.

    The most powerful questions to ask yourself to unveil your life’s purpose.


    Have you ever felt like you’ve just completely lost yourself?
    Maybe you've been in a relationship where you ended up blending so much into their world, their likes and dislikes, that you lost sight of your own. Or perhaps, growing up, you learned to put everyone else first to get by, carrying that habit into adulthood. Or you've chased down all the milestones of success society laid out, only to realize they don't actually make you feel fulfilled.
    It's like there's a piece missing, right?
    So the question is, how do you get back to yourself when you’ve gone too far? Or even when you’ve never quite found yourself in the first place?
    That’s what we’re talking about today. Our guest is Sara Kuburic. She is an existential psychotherapist, consultant, and author of "It's On Me". She is passionate about helping people seek change and live authentic, free, and meaningful lives. Her interest in psychology stems from her personal experience living through wars, navigating complex relationships, and continually learning what it means to be human.
    If you just can’t wait to dive into this topic, I need to tell you about a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity: SoulStrength Activation launches this week. I only have two spots left. We’re going to access your inner power (that's figuring out your unique gifts and vision), reprogram your mind for unshakeable self-belief, so you stop talking yourself out of the life you’re meant to live, and then create the life that truly fulfills you. So that you never wake up with that pit in your stomach that one more year has gone by and nothing has changed- ever again. 
    And there are many perks for this founding group. Send me an email, and we’ll hop on a call and see if we can squeeze you into this group so that your life can start to change now.

    Body-Focused Stress-Relief Strategies for Navigating Overwhelm with Chantal Donnelly

    Body-Focused Stress-Relief Strategies for Navigating Overwhelm with Chantal Donnelly

    We will learn:

    How stress hijacks your body's responses, and why even your MIND can't save you from it. 

    How to hit pause and rewrite your survival patterns. 

    How to master the art of reaching calm between the seesaw of stress and shutdown.


    Do you ever reflect on something and think, “why did I do that”? Or why can’t I seem to keep my cool in those situations? Why did that trigger me so badly? 
    The truth is, your reaction is less about the trigger and more about your past. Our past experiences leave invisible imprints on our lives. They affect the way we interact with the world, make decisions, and even respond to stress, which has a direct effect on our happiness levels now.
    So today, we’re learning all about that process and what to do next. Our guest is Chantal Donnelly. She is a physical therapist and author of the Amazon best-selling book, “Settled: How to Find Calm in a Stress-Inducing World.”
    She is also the owner of Body Insight, a wellness company designed to help people reconnect with their bodies and improve their health.

    Aligning Tasks with Passion: Uncovering Your Essence to Fulfill Your Dharma with Sunned Gupta

    Aligning Tasks with Passion: Uncovering Your Essence to Fulfill Your Dharma with Sunned Gupta

    We will learn: 

    How to uncover the "bright spots" in your life to reveal your true essence and unearth your unique purpose

    Secrets for balancing personal goals with real-world demands

    How to conquer discomfort with grace and gain the power to expand your boundaries


    Do you ever look at other people, smiling, happy, thriving, and think, why does it look so easy for them? Here I am struggling, stressed out, overthinking, overwhelmed, spinning my wheels, and she just glides through life with such ease.

    I've come to believe it's all about purpose. When you've got that bigger purpose in your life, you actually know what that purpose is, and you move toward it a little bit each day; things just start to flow.

    Imagine living a life where every decision and every action aligns with your deepest values and passions. It's not just about satisfaction; it's about thriving in your truest form. That’s what it’s like to be aligned with your dharma. 

    So, that's our focus today – how to inch closer to our purpose every day.
    Our guest is Suneel Gupta. He is on the faculty at Harvard University and the author of “Everyday Dharma: 8 Essential Practices for Finding Joy in What You Do.”

    Also, now is the perfect time for this episode because doors are open for the founding group of Mind Love’s brand-new SoulStrength Activation.
    This program is an opportunity to work with me in a small group. This is the most intimate and exclusive program yet. Over 3 months, We’ll access your inner power, reprogram your mind for unshakeable self-belief, and create the life that truly fulfills you.
