  • Identity Speaks Louder Than Limitation: How to See Purpose, Perspective, and Possibility

    Identity Speaks Louder Than Limitation: How to See Purpose, Perspective, and Possibility
    Jan 30 2026
    What you were born with. What happened to you. What you struggle with. So many of us mistake these things for our identity. In this episode, I share why identity—not diagnosis, logic, or circumstance—gets the final say. Through the stories of Jesse Findling on American Idol and Paralympic runner Blake Leeper, this conversation explores how perspective shapes possibility, why your environment shouldn’t define you, and how the parts of your story that feel messy or limiting may actually be where your purpose comes alive. You’ll hear why calling doesn’t wait for you to be fixed, how the perspective you choose determines the opportunities you’re even able to see, and why the very things you’ve been tempted to overlook or discount in your life may be the exact places your identity and purpose are trying to speak the loudest.

    WHAT YOU WILL HEAR IN THIS EPISODE
    • Why we often confuse circumstances, struggles, and diagnoses with identity
    • The powerful contrast between what the world predicts and what identity decides
    • How Jesse Findling’s stutter—and Blake Leeper’s lack of legs—became context, not conclusions
    • Why your environment should never define you—or strip you of who you are
    • The difference between waiting to be “fixed” and stepping fully into your calling
    • How a simple perspective shift can radically expand the opportunities you’re able to see
    • Why the messy, inconvenient parts of your story may be what make you uniquely valuable

    Healing Pain at the Root: Rewiring the Brain for Peace, Love, and Abundance with Dr. Arlene McFarland
    Jan 22 2026
    What if your pain isn’t a problem to fix—but a story asking to be understood? In this episode, I sit down with Arlene McFarland—wife, mother, and Marriage & Family Therapist of 27 years—for a conversation that goes far beyond mere "talk therapy." We explore healing as a process of discovery, not instruction, and why true transformation can’t be told… it has to be experienced. Arlene shares her personal journey into the work she was called to do, how God has led her both before and after her cancer diagnosis, and what she’s learned about time, purpose, presence and love along the way. We unpack EMDR, emotional agility, false beliefs, and the subtle but powerful shift that happens when we stop asking “What’s wrong with me?” and start asking “What is true?”If you’ve ever felt stuck in old patterns, overwhelmed by unresolved pain, or hungry for a fuller, more abundant life—this conversation will meet you right where you are.

    WHAT YOU WILL HEAR IN THIS EPISODE
    • Arlene’s personal backstory and how faith and calling shaped her 27-year career as a therapist
    • How her cancer diagnosis transformed the way she understands time, presence, and purpose
    • What EMDR is, why it’s so powerful, and how to know when it’s the right tool
    • How Arlene guides people through healing without forcing outcomes
    • Why finding the root of pain matters more than managing symptoms and results a in permanent change
    • Why lasting transformation must be discovered—not taught or explained
    • The greatest obstacle that keeps people from living the life they were meant for
    • How to develop emotional agility instead of constantly reacting to life
    • Letting go of old beliefs and false identities that once felt protective
    • The profound shift from asking “What’s wrong with me?” to “What os actually true?”
    • Tools for separating thoughts from the thinker
    • The role of honesty—with ourselves and with God—in true healing
    • Practical ways to begin healing even when you feel overwhelmed and unsure where to start

  • Three Words That Can Change How You Show Up Every Day

    Three Words That Can Change How You Show Up Every Day
    Jan 13 2026
    Most days, real change starts with awareness, not effort. In this episode, I’m sharing a simple daily practice built around three intentional words — words that act as anchors throughout your day and quietly reshape how you respond, decide, and show up. This isn’t about overhauling your life or setting new goals. It’s about creating repeat moments of awareness that change your trajectory in real time. If you’ve been craving more alignment, clarity, or consistency — without adding another heavy “practice” to your plate — this episode will meet you exactly where you are.

    WHAT YOU WILL HEAR IN THIS EPISODE
    • Why awareness, not effort, is the real engine of lasting change
    • How choosing three intentional words acts as daily anchors for your behavior and mindset
    • The science of why repeated, small moments of awareness shape identity faster than big goals
    • How to interrupt old patterns in real time — without force or willpower
    • Practical ways to notice when you’re off-track and bring yourself back to alignment
    • Why this practice builds self-trust and consistency, even when life feels chaotic
    • How to create a simple, sustainable routine that compounds over time
    • Real-life examples of showing up differently in parenting, work, leadership, and personal growth

  • Stop Setting Goals — Build Habits That Actually Stick

    Stop Setting Goals — Build Habits That Actually Stick
    Jan 7 2026
    In the last few episodes, we’ve delved deeply into helping you know who you’re becoming — now it’s time to build the habits that support it. In this episode, we’re not talking about goal-setting, we’re talking about the systems and action steps that actually make goals possible. Because if you want a new outcome, you need new behaviors — or stronger versions of the ones you already have. This conversation is about building habits that support the life you’re moving toward, without burning out or relying on constant motivation. You’ll learn how to anchor new behaviors to your identity, why consistency always beats intensity, and how small, intentional habit shifts — even just 1% at a time — compound into massive, sustainable growth. This episode is about becoming the kind of person who naturally lives out the goals you’re setting.

    WHAT YOU WILL HEAR IN THIS EPISODE
    • Why identity always comes before habits, and habits always come before results
    • The mindset shift from “What do I want to achieve?” to “Who do I want to become?”
    • Why a goal without habits is just a wish
    • How consistency beats intensity (and why high performers don’t live in burnout mode)
    • The power of improving just 1% at a time — and how that compounds over weeks, months, and years
    • How to raise awareness of your current habits before trying to change them
    • Simple ways to audit your good and bad habits by life category or value
    • How to use habit stacking to make new behaviors feel automatic
    • Real-life examples of anchoring habits to routines you already have
    • Why your environment matters more than willpower
    • How to lower friction for good habits and raise friction for bad ones
    • How the people you surround yourself with influence your behavior more than motivation
    • Why accountability — personal and social — accelerates habit change

  • How to Find Your True Identity And Release False Versions of Yourself

    How to Find Your True Identity And Release False Versions of Yourself
    Dec 31 2025
    In the last several episodes, we’ve talked about growth, expansion, raising your standards, and stepping into your highest self—but none of that can fully land without addressing the foundation it all rests on: your identity. As you step into a new year, true transformation won’t come from doing more or fixing yourself—it will come from uncovering who you were before anything happened to you. In this episode, we explore the three types of identity most people live from, how false and constructed identities keep us functional but not free, and why truth-telling is the gateway to real healing. I’ll also guide you through a powerful confession and truth meditation designed to help release identities you may be holding—knowingly or unknowingly—and open space for your true identity to emerge. This episode is an invitation to make 2026 your most transformative year yet—from the inside out.


    WHAT YOU WILL HEAR IN THIS EPISODE
    • Why identity—not habits, goals, or productivity—is the true cornerstone of growth and expansion
    • The three types of identity people embody:
      • False Identity (formed by experiences, environments, labels, or what happened to you)
      • Constructed Identity (the version of you built to survive, succeed, control, or cope)
      • True Identity (who you were before anything happened to you—rooted in truth, not behavior)
    • Why constructed identities aren’t bad—but can quietly keep you stuck being functional versus being free
    • What “true confession” really means—and why truth-telling creates peace, even when it’s uncomfortable
    • How avoiding truth keeps trauma and limiting beliefs locked in the nervous system
    • A simple explanation of how truth access relates to healing and reprocessing (inspired by EMDR principles)
    • A guided confession / truth-telling meditation & prayer to help release false identities
    • How this practice works whether or not you believe in God—framed as an honest experiment with truth
    • Why openness, curiosity, and honesty alone create real physical, mental, and neurological shifts
    • How repeated truth practices can gently dismantle the protective fortresses you’ve built over time

  • How to Stop Existing and Start Living

    How to Stop Existing and Start Living
    Dec 22 2025
    Are you living your life… or just existing? In this episode, I’m sharing a simple daily practice designed to pull you out of autopilot and back into truly conscious living—where you notice, learn, and experience your life instead of just moving through it. Inspired by the book, Living Fearless by Jamie Winship, this daily exercise isn’t about doing more—it’s about noticing more. I’ll guide you through a 3-part daily practice to: learn something new about yourself, discover something new about someone else, and uncover something new about God and the universe. I'll also talk about how engaging with awe doesn’t just make life feel bigger—it rewires your brain and challenges your existing mental models. Awe isn't just amazement--it's cognitive expansion and specifically engages the area of the brain that decides what in life really matters. This episode will help you reconnect with life, expand your perspective, and start living rather than merely existing. Oscar Wilde once said, “To live is the rarest thing in the world. Most people exist, that is all.” You are not one of those people. So let's get to work!

    WHAT YOU WILL HEAR IN THIS EPISODE
    • A simple daily practice to get off autopilot and feel alive again
    • How learning about yourself, others, and the Universe rewires your brain for meaning
    • Why awe is more than amazement—it expands your thinking, motivation, and perspective
    • How activating your brain’s salience network helps you recognize what truly matters and the crucial role experiencing AWE plays in this network
    • Real-world examples of awe to inspire your daily practice

  • How High Performers Create Necessity Without Burning Out

    How High Performers Create Necessity Without Burning Out
    Dec 9 2025
    Most people think success comes from motivation or discipline… but high performers know better. In this episode, I’m breaking down how to build identity-driven necessity—the kind that pulls you toward your goals without burning you out. You’ll learn the difference between internal necessity and external necessity, plus how high performers turn both into momentum instead of pressure. We’ll also dig into the real reasons burnout happens and I’ll walk you through the framework I created called, the “North Star Reset” to realign your goals, reconnect to meaning, and clear energy leaks. I’ll also introduce you to my “Burnout Compass” so you can pinpoint exactly what’s draining your energy. If you want to step into 2026 with clarity, alignment, and sustainable ambition, this is your episode.

    • Why necessity—not motivation or discipline—is the real driver of high performance
    • The difference between internal necessity (identity, standards) and external necessity (deadlines, stakes)
    • How high performers turn necessity into a positive pull instead of pressure
    • The real reason high performers burn out—and how to stop it
    • The North Star Reset: a 4-step framework to realign your goals and direction
