Guest: Christine Hassler Greetings from Toronto. By the time you read this, I’ll be sitting in a hotel conference room attending a small-group symposium led by Bob Proctor. So excited! I tell ya, I’m cooking up some really awesome content for you this Summer, including a completely revamped website, a free ebook on how to end self-sabotage, doubt and fear, and indecision, and a long-overdue return to the wonderful world of YouTube. With so much studying, writing, and planning going on, the podcast has been pretty inconsistent as of late… But today I’ve got a brand-new episode for you with special guest Christine Hassler, author of Expectation Hangover. This episode is GOLD for anyone who has ever encountered disappointment in work, life, and love. Which means it’s a must-listen for anyone and everyone breathing oxygen. Here’s What You’ll Learn * Why coping strategies like distractions, numbing the pain with TV and food, and “being strong” never work in the long run … and how they almost guarantee you’ll meet the same disappointment down the road. * What surfers, horseback riders, and childhood temper tantrums can teach us about processing our emotions and moving forward. * Compensatory Strategies: why achieving your goal may not have been as fulfilling as you expected. * Why discovering your superpowers and your core values is the key to finding your true calling.

Guest: Tara Mackey I’m alive! It’s been about two weeks since I last posted here, and three weeks since I posted a brand new interview. (The last one was a bonus.) Did I take another vacation? Nope, I’ve been practicing what I preach by following my bliss. You see, as much as I LOVE interviewing our podcast guests, the prep time can take up to 25-30 hours. Doesn’t leave a lot of time to tackle the other projects I’d like to complete. So I’ve decided to move the podcast to an every-other-week schedule for the next couple months. That way, I can finish the FREE ebook and 30-day program I’ve been wanting to put together for you. This month I’ve been delving deep into The Science of Mind, reading lots of old books from the 1930s as well as more recent ones by today’s most brilliant neuroscientists. Interestingly, if there’s one thing that these authors can all agree upon, it’s this: we become what we think about, and therefore we MUST protect our minds as if our lives depended on it. Or as this week’s podcast guest, Tara Mackey, suggests, you must “always stand guard at the door to your own mind.” The post 014 – Tara Mackey: Cured By Nature appeared first on Sean Croxton.

Guest: Jake Ducey Code Yellow Alert! If you didn’t know already, a Code Yellow is when I read a book and just about every page is full of yellow highlighter. That means it’s REALLY good. The best part is that this particular book was a perfect blend of three of my favorite things: personal development, health, and storytelling. And you know how I absolutely LOVE a good story. The book is called Cured by Nature, written by Tara Mackey of The Organic Life Blog. As tempted as I am to reveal Tara’s story here, I think I’ll save it for next week. That's when she’ll be my very special guest on The Sessions. Do not miss it. I feel an Instant Classic coming on. :) If you want to get a head start, pick up her book here. Unfortunately, this week I don’t have a new interview for you. Sorry! BUT it would be totally unbecoming of me to leave you hanging for two weeks between interviews. So I’ve got something really awesome for you today... The post Bonus – Jake Ducey: The Purpose Principles appeared first on Sean Croxton.

Guest: Amy Cuddy I can tell dating stories all day… But there’s one particular date that I’ve played over and over again in my mind, wondering what in the world happened to me. It was with the woman of my dreams, the spitting image of “my type”. We agreed to meet up at True Food Kitchen, one of my favorite spots here in San Diego. I arrived a few minutes early to snag a couple of seats at the bar. I felt good. Confident … but with the typical case of the nerves that happens before any first date. Just be yourself, Sean. Ten minutes later, I looked over my shoulder and there she was, walking through the double doors, headed in my direction. Just be yourself, Sean. I pulled out her chair, she sat down … and I FREAKED OUT. The post 011 – Amy Cuddy: Presence, Performance, and Power Posing appeared first on Sean Croxton.
