The Self-Care Sensei: Building Resilience with the M.O.R.E. Framework

In this episode of Time Tested Mastery: Life Lessons Sell, I sit down with Jan Raeder—the Self-Care Sensei—to unpack the principles of discipline, wellbeing, and resilience that she has honed over 30 years in martial arts, positive psychology, and behavior change. Jan is a national AAU gold medalist, keynote speaker, and author of Strive for MORE: What Wellbeing Really Means and How You Can Achieve It. She introduces us to her M.O.R.E. framework—Meaning, Optimism, Relationships, and Engagement—four pillars that underpin true wellbeing and can transform the way we live, lead, and sell. In this conversation, we explore: How martial arts discipline translates into success in sales and life. Why taking things personally causes us to lose our center—and how detachment creates clarity. The difference between self-care “treats” and true self-care that builds strength from within. The evidence-based practices Jan uses to help people avoid burnout and build resilience. A simple yet powerful exercise you can use today to shift your perspective: What Went Well?
