Shadowboxing podcast is now officially ✨LIVE✨

@drchrisbertram and I are so excited to share our living, breathing experiment with you 🎙

On EP 1, you'll meet the hosts, learn about the vision for this 8 episode podcast series, and get a few teasers about the lineup of guests. ✨

On EP 2, we connect with @michaelgervais about his childhood, how it shaped him, and what he’s learned from his two decades in the trenches working on optimizing the space between the ears. ✨

If you are someone who has wondered about the power of self-awareness, mindfulness, and curiosity in the high stakes game of life, this episode is for you. 🧠

This was a real thrill and an honor for Chris and I to host Michael on our podcast. We hope you enjoy. 🙌🏼

You can find it in the link in my bio, or wherever you get your podcasts 🎧

Tomorrow is a big day - are you ready to go deep with us? ✨

The first TWO episodes of my podcast collab with @drchrisbertram will be going live tomorrow. 🎙

The podcast is called "Shadowboxing." On it, we'll be sharing a series of intimate, long-form conversations with industry experts, thought leaders, athletes, and innovators about what they’re fighting for and what they’re fighting with. The goal is humble: to show up completely, explore change, and its downstream partner in crime – growth. 🌿

A second (but no less important) purpose of the podcast is to have fun. Yes, we will touch on serious topics from time to time, but you can expect a healthy dose of humor to pervade the conversation. Mixing business with pleasure is the name of the game here. 😉

You'll be able to find it wherever you prefer to get your podcasts, and I will also link it here. Check-in tomorrow to find out who our first guest is! (So. Much. Wisdom.) 🎧

Do you work as a lone wolf, or as part of a pack? 💡

Over the decades, my private practice has had lots of incarnations, all of which reflected my curiosities, interests, and areas of expertise at the time — individual therapy, forensics, personality assessment, groups, health & positive psychology, coaching, working with teams and organizations, and, eventually, a whole host of consultancy services, public speaking, and a wildly rewarding experience authoring my blog. 🌿

When I was nineteen and deciding to pursue psychology as my career, I had no idea how flexible, fluid, and malleable this area of interest would be. I was simply fascinated by the mind and wanted to get under the hood to understand what makes us tick—mine and others. 🧠

But despite all these changes and mutations to my areas of interest, one thing remained consistent— I operated as a lone wolf. Sure, I collaborated, I joined temporary forces with other like-minded people, and I worked alongside teams as an independent consultant for many years. But for the most part, I was always out there on my own. ✨

Now, yet another change is underfoot. Recently, I joined EXOS as Senior Director of Psychology and Performance. I will maintain my consultancy private practice as well, so it is bound to be an exciting year ahead. I have found that, indeed, the best things in life are done as a team. 💪🏼

I had the honor and joy to connect with @gabbyreece again on her podcast. This time around, we tackled the state of mental health in America right now, most notably for children and adolescents. 🎙

This is a packed conversation with lots of practical tips, tools, and takeaways to help offset the constant drumbeat of stress, anxiety, and worry in the world today. ✨

When I started to truly invest in observing my own relationship with myself through the practice of stillness, that is when I began to truly grasp the concept of free will.

That razor thin line between stimulus and response, where there is a blink of the eye, where we can exert nuanced shifts in trajectory. Without this skill, you will orbit endlessly in patterns of the past. ✨

Resist the urge to judge the secrecy or to make this a moral shortcoming. Morality rarely works as a long-term solution to the aspects of our life that are governed by shame. ✨
