The Jared Hurst Podcast

What's holding you back? Why do you keep self sabotaging? Well in part it's feeling worthy of that thing that you want. This episode dives into those thoughts

Sometimes making big changes in life feels overwhelming. When those times come start small. This episode is all about different ways that small changes make big changes in our life.

What do you love about who you are in relationships, and other situations? The answer to that can give you insights into who we want to be.

"Did you do your best?" Often we hear this question, but how often do you feel like the answer is yes? The problem is we often have more to give, and we can use this question as a means to beat ourselves up. Just one more piece of evidence that we aren't getting it right. It's not about being perfect, it's about moving ourselves in the right direction and giving what we have in the moment.

We have needs driving how we feel. How aware are you of what those needs are and how are you making sure those needs are met?

Sometimes what we're feeling is from a wound, and specifically because we feel on some level like our identity is being threated. It can cause resistance, anger, fear, anxiety. Recognizing these emotions can help us work through these moments and make the journey that much easier.

Are you keeping yourself from the life you truly want with distractions? What things do you allow in your life that aren't what you really want?

Our emotions have momentum just like other things in life and shifting the direction of those emotions is a challenge. This episode is about little shifts to bring big change.

Even after years of learning to spot negative beliefs and their influence it's incredible how they can infiltrate our thoughts, actions, and emotions. Learning to spot these subtle signs can make major changes in our perception.

This episode is a perfect example of building our resiliency. A year and a half ago I would have deleted this episode because the audio didn't connect to my microphone and so the quality isn't as crisp. Yet now I'm in a different space. I know that things don't have to be perfect, and life is full of trials and challenges. Now I do my best, push forward, believe in myself, and believe my message.This episode is all about how our beliefs influence our ability to be resilient and deal with life's ups and downs.

Old hbaits die hard or so the saying goes. It's true and there's a reason for it. This episode talks about those times when we feel like we're taking steps backward

I had an incredible heart warming experience in one of the most unexpected ways possible. This episode is about that story and the lessons I've learned

Whether it's 2 days, 2 weeks, 2 months, or 2 years, life can change fast. You may be going through a challenging time where it feels like things will never change. You may be going through a time where everything is great. One constant in life is change. Things will be different, and there's things you can do to start that shift now.

What is the American dream? A lot of people say it's about working until you don't have to. It's about reaching a point where you no longer have to work, don't have to push yourself, and live a life of relaxation. But is that really what life's about? There's nothing wrong with being comfortable, relaxing, or enjoying some time off of work. However, when we make our life's mission about these things we lose sight of the joy and fulfillment that come from pushing ourselves. From doing hard things, learning new things, and feeling a sense of accomplishment.This episode is about embracing the challenges and how we can reach joy through those difficulties.

Have you ever had joy and excitement in something new, but then it started to disappear? This podcast is about understanding how that might happen, where our joy comes from, and how to keep it in a space that serves us.

Life is often working for you and it comes with a set of directions. The question is, Do You Follow Them?Sometimes the result of following those directions is clear, sometimes not. Sometimes we're being sent a path and we don't even see it.This episode is all about recognizing when life is working for you.

You are supposed to act this way, think this way, feel this way, etc, etc... Our lives are full of supposed to's and should's. This episode is about following our heart instead of society.

The way things are attracted into our lives, the joy we experience, and the way we handle adversity are largely influenced by our mindset and energy. This episode is about how giving freely to improve the world and lives of those around us can bring in the things that we truly want and support us in our journey.

All of us have conflict, and sometimes it's with people that we love or have loved.This episode is about navigating conflict when boundaries continue to be broken by people we want to maintain a connection with, and those we may not have a lot of choice.

in Episode 47 we talked about emotional layers. Well one of those layers comes in the form of grief. There are feelings of grief we may consciously feel, but consciously we don't know what's causing it. This episode is about finding these layers of grief so they can be processed.

Kari Anderson joins us again to discuss the importance of our environment. Both our virtual friends, and those we associate with in person have a massive impact on our thoughts, actions, and emotions. Come learn a little about how, and what you can do to curate the right environment for you.

This episode is all about learning to be alone, enjoying that time, appreciating ourselves, and how we can use that time to process and build on the most important relationship we have.

Usually emotions come, we process them, and they go away. Sometimes we have experiences that continue to affect us for months or years, coming back time and time again. When we have these experiences how should we view these emotions and what should we do? This week's episode is all about answering those questions.

Emotions are contagious. What are you sharing with yourself and others?

Sometimes we can't create something new until something old has been removed. We have to let go of that relationship, that job, those old beliefs, our old way of looking at ourselves. Some things only live when we allow something else to die.This week we have a special guest Kari Anderson, joining me to discuss this topic.

It takes a lot of courage to put ourselves into situations where we can fail. How do we find that courage?

Ever feel like you're looking for something and never find it? The job you want, the opportunity, the relationship? We find what we're looking for, even if we don't realize that we're looking for something different than what we say we are.

This week I talk a bit about recognizing we need to make life changes and a new opportunity I'm offering for those looking to make these major life changes.

We already adapt to our environment without making an effort, but some things require us to make a conscious attempt at change. When do we do this, and how do we know?

Being spiritual or religious can be challenging in the world we live in. This episode is looking at these topics from an analytical point of view as well as one of the heart.

Do I respect myself? The answer may not be as obvious as it seems at first. Little things we do every day may be sabotaging our self respect. This episode talks about some of those things we may not realize.

Recently I lost hearing in my left ear due to unknown causes. This experience has caused me to relook at life, and has lead me to embrace a joy based mindset. This episode talks about those lessons and how they can benefit you.

Everyone is dealing with shame on some level when we hide parts of ourselves or modify our behavior in order to be liked. This podcast is about recognizing those behaviors and sharing ourselves openly with others.

Everyone connects to others differently, and sometimes those differences can lead to difficult emotions, lost friendships, and connections that don't reach their full potential. This episode is about those differences, and how we can adapt to the people around us, while appreciating the connections that come into our lives.

Whether you're religious or not, living a life by faith and inspiration can help you to have more joy, more safety, and less fear.

Sometimes in life we go through a feeling of grief while still connected to someone. There is no breakup, no death, that signals the end. Sometimes our grief is caused by real changes within that connection, and sometimes by internal conflict in our minds. This episode is about how that happens and how we can cope.

How do you let go of something that you're still holding on to? You don't. You have to release the things you're holding on to, in order to move on. This episode is about doing that through forgiveness and compassion.

Are you familiar with breathwork and how it can help fast track your life? Well whether you're long time breathwork patron or you've never heard of it before, this episode will help you see how this great tool can benefit you.

There is not something about everyone else that makes them deserving of living their dreams, and makes it so you don't. You have just as much right to love and success as anyone else. You are a one of a kind individual. There has never been, is not currently, nor will there ever be someone exactly like you. You have traits and qualities that are just you, and that makes you both valuable and special.

I recently began reading the book "I Hear You" in efforts to better understand emotional validation and communication. Being a great listener has been a goal of mine for a while, and though I've put a lot of effort into improving this skill, I've recently come to realize where I've been falling short. This episode is about how we can more effectively relay the feelings of love and compassion we have for others.

Through a recent experience I became aware of some dormant authentic desires that I didn't know I had. This experience helped me to realize how creating safety for ourselves and others can help us more easily access our authenticity and step into the person we want to become.

Lately I've been spending a lot of time learning and implementing the things that I've learned. As I've done that, two thoughts have been going through my mind. One idea is gardening our thoughts, and the other is allowing our emotions to crash. This episode talks about these two concepts individually and also how they relate to each other in a beautiful way.

This is a special episode. It's my first interview, and it's with my 19 year old daughter Kaitlyn. This episode is about understanding the life of a teenager in today's world, the struggles they have, the pressure, and the things that they want us to understand. I'm excited to share this with you and see how it can benefit our lives.

It's easy to get off course without realizing it. Recently I've implemented a few new habits in my life to help me keep my self love, my actions, and my mindset in line with the person I want to be and the goals I'm striving towards. I'm excited to see what you think and see how they can help you as well.

This is one of my hardest episodes to make because of the vulnerability it took. I recently started therapy and made a number of connections around my negative beliefs, where they came from, how they are continuing to be formed, and how I can change them.

At times I feel a conflict between accepting myself as I am, understanding that I'm not for everyone, and my belief that I'm the creator of my life and I have the ability to grow and influence my reality. In this episode I dive into the two concepts, the way that I've resolved these in my head, and some new perspectives I've found through my reading.

This episode is about knowing what we want, why we want it, taking massive action to bring those things into reality, but at the same time learning to surrender to how things will look, and when they will come into our lives. There are things you never knew to ask for in work, in friendships, in relationships, that have come into your lives in the latest season of your life, and many more things are to come. This is about setting yourself up to adapt to those changes and yet work towards your future as well.

This week I talk in more detail about rewriting our negative thought patterns. These are the habits you might not even be aware of that are affecting your thoughts, actions, and emotions. Even though I've been working to change my negative thoughts I've found new ways to more directly influence the thoughts and beliefs that will direct my life and yours.

This episode is about building a foundation of self love in all areas of our life, the risks of having areas built on external sources, some areas that I've recently discovered I was lacking, and how we can raise our belief in ourselves and our goals.

Being consistent is they key to change, but it's not always easy to do. In this podcast episode I speak about how to tap into consistency and the kind of changes it can have in your life.
