Think Unbroken

In this episode, today, I've transformed a couple of aspects of my life regarding giving.  I formally remember this moment of hearing when you're at your lowest give to people, and I did that for a long time; honestly, what Think Unbroken came from was that just me feeling alone, me like – I'm going to give to people, I'm going to show up, let me support. But the other part of it today, being like Think Unbroken now, is about giving the world to create massive change.  When you feel good about your life, you contribute more, you give more, and when you give more, you feel better. There are so many things that we can do to give. And so, when was the last time that you gave?

In this episode, I talk about committing first and figuring out the rest later.

In this episode, I was recently on The Seven Hats Podcast, and I've never done this before, so this will be my first time on the show that I do anything like this. You're about to listen to an episode like me as a guest on someone else's podcast, and part of the reason why I do this is that I want to spread the message, right? I want to talk about Think Unbroken, I want to talk about The Unbroken Nation, I want to talk about the show because honestly, if people don't know about you, they'll never find you, right? I want to spread the mission and message, and I think that's incredibly important. And the reason that I decided to do this was for a couple of purposes, (1) that way you can have a little bit more insight into my thoughts and my life and my experiences and what Think Unbroken means that depth and (2) to be straight up, this is one of the best interviews of ever had in my life. The Seven Hats podcast was an incredible conversation. I want to know your thoughts on this, and i

In this episode, I will have a conversation with my friend Blair Bryant Nichols as we dive into the power of telling and sharing your story. This podcast episode that I particularly love because one Blair has been an amazing friend to me but two at look at the truth behind his message and his mission about wanting to have conversations and give people the power and the ability to share their stories. I think that as human beings, storytelling, whether it be at the campfire at the dinner table, has always innately been a part of who we are. And I believe that we all have the space; we all deserve the space to share our stories, insights, dreams, and missions with the world. Do you ever feel like you have a story that you want to tell, and somehow even though you feel called to do it, you can't seem to go through with it? And so, if you're one of these people, and you've thought about this, I want to tell my story, I want to be able to start this movement, have this conversation. You felt stuck,

In this episode, super excited to be back with you with another episode and talk about purpose, fulfillment, and accountability with my friend, Agi Keramidas. I'm super excited to have this conversation with Agi. Sometimes you look at people's lives, and I'm passing you go; what have you ever done that's incredible, and then you sit and have a conversation with them, and you go, man, that's so incredible. You face that fear; you made that decision; you put yourself on a path for your destiny, which is admirable. Agi Keramidas grew up in Greece, and in 2010 he moved to the UK following a dream he had since a teenager. He's been a dentist for 20+ years, but the identity he embodies now is a knowledge broker and podcaster.

In this episode, I share the five questions that will make you self-aware. The greatest thing you will do in this journey grabs a piece of paper, a pen, and a whiteboard, and just put your thoughts there that help you understand who you are today because that's what it's about? It's about a massive amount of self-awareness, then you got to be committed once you have that self-awareness to do what it takes to have the life you want to have. Those five questions will help you build self-awareness, and your self-awareness will become the key to all the success that is next in your life!

In this episode, I want to talk to you about something significant that parlays. This is one of those pivotal moments in my childhood that I may have shared before on this show, but I want to share it today for a reason. And I think about this so frequently because the truth is right now, even if your life is not where you want it to be, you have to take a sense of responsibility for that. And if you've ever read the book, I actually recommend that you all go read this book right now. It's called Three Feet From Gold; I think it's one of the most important books just about life, it is a business book, but it's really a life book. And the crux of the whole narrative of this book is that human beings people in general, we quit when we're like right here, where inch away, we are three feet from our dream, from what we want, and when I read this, I started to sit in this idea, about the reality about how true that really felt to me? I started thinking about this. What if I just never quit? Wh

In this episode, I sit down with my friend, JM Ryerson, and we talk about living your best life. I think so many of us have this thought or process of wanting to live our best lives, but the only way you create massive change in your life is to do that through the actions you have right now. And so many of us are walking around these empty cups, putting everything else except ourselves first, and it's not selfish, put yourself first, it's really not.

In this episode, we have guest speaker Nate Rifkin. When I had this conversation with Nate, so many parallels hit home to me in this way that it's tough for me to describe because I've never dived into the conversation about the money trauma that I have. Growing up homeless, poverty, watching bills, never get paid, the water turned off, the electricity turned off, heat and gas turned off, and just always going through this. And so, this conversation was so interesting because Nate talks about these parallels, which I think are incredibly important between your mindset, meditation, habits, and wealth. When Nate Rifkin began his journey, he was suicidal and drank alcohol every morning to get through the day. He dropped out of college, went broke, bankrupt, and even worked on street corners waving around a sign. However, Nate learned a little-known spiritual discipline that helped him transform his thoughts, emotions, financial life, and find love. He’s described his journey and the transformative pr

In this episode, I talk about neuro-associations, how our associations with stimulus determine our behavior, and how the stronger our neuro-association is, the more likely we are either going to do something that makes us feel good because we're doing it out of pleasure or we will avoid things that could possibly be good for us because we are avoiding them out of pain. There is a reality that you have to understand and that you are simply having a neuro response to a stimulus. You have to change your state in the way that you are thinking about what is possible. Today, I will give you different examples tied to your understanding that you have a bond biological experience. What excites you? What gets you fired up? Where are you at your best? Where do you feel unstoppable? Just focus, listen and be ready to learn, and I will do my best to bring massive value to your life and your trauma healing journey!

In this episode, I speak with Virginia Dixon and talk about Spirit, Body, Soul, and attachment styles. I think that often there is this fascinating juxtaposition between our conscious and our subconscious and trying to figure out a navigate effectively. The R.E.S.T.™ with Virginia Dixon Podcast features numerous resources, authentic client stories and experts in various disciplines to provide each listener practical tools for their own journey to freedom and healing. Confusion often leads to chaos and dis-ease, causing imbalances that lead to illness infecting the body, soul and spirit. Therefore, learning how to reason and reconcile unresolved emotional conflicts within yourself and others is imperative to find R.E.S.T.™ (Relational, Emotional and Spiritual Truth) and establish clarity, order and ease You can measure cognitive behavioral therapy and how impactful those are, and I think there's so much more of a relationship between mind, body, and spirit. All these things need symbiosis to start creati

In this episode, I sit with my friend, Meredith Viguers, and we talk about becoming empowered you. Meredith and I connected over dinner while we were in Dallas a few weeks ago during an event. And I had one of the best conversations I've had with anyone very long time about leadership, entrepreneurship, and showing up for your people in about living life on your terms. As many of you know, I'm an entrepreneur, Think Unbroken is a business; I run multiple other businesses as well, and often in the entrepreneurial space, it can feel lonely, for lack of a better term, but being in community is so important and so practical. Meredith Viguers was born and raised in St Petersburg, FL, and relocated to Central Texas when her husband Jonathan received orders from the Army to Fort Hood. After years in the Insurance, Banking, and Real Estate world, she was ready to take a huge risk, and start her own business.
