Welcome to the first of a multi-part series where I cover brief and not-so-brief highlights from many of my favorite podcast guests, starting with Dave Rossi, who offers an invaluable perspective on redirecting your thoughts and actions when you experience stress, as well as some parenting tips.

You’ll hear some more parenting tips from Ashley Merryman, like the importance of emphasizing and praising effort made toward improvement, and truly fantastic advice from Thais Gibson to help you overcome self-sabotage. I’ve also included some of my favorite clips of Dr. John DeMartini talking about following your inspired purpose and from Dain Heer on formulating a healthy perspective. You will also learn how thoughts manifest cellular function from Bruce Lipton and how to overcome dopamine addiction with Dr. Anna Lembke. Finally, Luke Storey teaches us about manifestation and Don Goewey discusses self-awareness.

Some of these personal growth insights are quite short and some are more lengthy, but what they all have in common is their wisdom and ability to stay with you and help you improve your life. 

TIMESTAMPS:

As Brad shares some of his favorite excerpts from some of his many podcasts. He firsts asks “Should I be doing this right now?” (Dave Rossi) [01:57]

About parenting, Rossi says, “When talking to the kids, have good eye contact and constant affirmations of love and support.” [03:15]

It is not necessary to praise the child for athletic ability, beauty, or smarts, it can sometimes be detrimental to their self-esteem. [08:05]

Be honest with your feedback. Praise the effort toward improvement. [11:36]

Thais Gibson used Brad as a subject by which she could describe her work as a personal growth expert. 

When there is a conflict between your goals and behaviors, that is the definition of self-sabotage [14:12]

Manifestation usually does not work because our mindset cuts us off from the potential power that it might have. {20:52]

Don Goewey describes a four-step process to become more self-aware and well-adjusted. [24:39]

What do you do spontaneously every day that requires no motivation and brings you joy and fulfillment and makes a positive contribution to the world? [27:16]

If you don't empower your life, other people will overpower you. [33:54]

When you get frustrated, ask yourself a question. Who does this belong to? [34:45]

Bruce Lipton believes that our thoughts affect the cellular function in our bodies at all times. The messages we get in the first seven years of life continue on into our adult subconscious.  [40:20]

When you change your thoughts, you can change your energy level and interest in your situation. [47:37]

There are three ways to reprogram your subconscious and change your life. [49:11]

The powerful pull of hyperconnectivity has landed just about everyone in the category of addiction. [52:54]

The routine things you do in daily life can take on epic proportions, but it doesn't mean you have to get to the top of the mountain. [57:16]
