84) THE METHOD PARIS HILTON AND LINDSAY LOHAN USE TO STOP SELF-SABOTAGE: JORGE PEREZ ON ATTENTION AND REINVENTION
from IVF DADDIES · host Richard Westoby & Julio Gaggia
Your attention is not free. Every complaint, every spiral, every moment you spend feeding the wrong thought is costing you something you cannot get back.Jorge Perez figured this out the hard way. Then he wrote a book about it. Then the celebrities started calling.This is the conversation about what actually happens when you stop letting your mind run the show and start directing it deliberately. Not toxic positivity. Not manifesting. The actual mechanics of where attention goes and what follows it.What this episode covers:Why where you put your attention is where your energy grows and why most people are accidentally growing the wrong thing.The non-complaint protocol that works in real life, in relationships, in fertility waiting rooms, and in the moments that feel completely out of your control.Why negativity spreads through groups like a virus and what one person changing their attention does to everyone around them.How desire and attachment are opposites and why clutching an outcome, whether a job, a relationship, or an IVF result, is often what repels it.What grief actually requires from your attention and why most advice about moving forward gets it completely wrong.Why the IVF and surrogacy journey is one of the most attention-depleting experiences a person can go through and what Jorge's framework does specifically for people inside it.The writing ritual that turns frustration into clarity in under ten minutes.What Paris Hilton, Lindsay Lohan, and Patricia Velasquez have in common with every intended parent trying to hold it together during a fertility journey.Life is great if you put your attention there.Life is brutal if you put your attention there.The only variable is you.CHAPTERS00:00 Why attention is currency02:24 Reinvention after loss05:19 Stress, language, and the body08:17 The STFU Method: non-complaint in practice10:28 Inspirations and creative triggers12:09 Independence vs partnership14:06 Identity and transformation15:59 Friendships that mirror growth19:01 Lessons from grief and acceptance23:54 Normalizing death conversations26:08 Grieving and moving forward28:22 The IVF and surrogacy chapter30:50 Tools for navigating fertility stress37:02 Perspective as a daily practice39:11 Desire vs attachment47:52 Closing doors, opening heartsGET THE BOOKThe Shut The F*** Up Method: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Shut-Fuck-Up-Method-Silence/dp/B0D57ZWRQ4Listening in a browser?
