132. Susie Moore: One Minute To Confidence, Courage, and Stopping The Need For Approval From Others
01/06/2020 Duration: 57min“Confidence is simple. It’s not loud, it’s not anything that can be defined by a particular skill or personality type. It’s simply this: the willingness to experience negative emotion.” How much of your vision for life is impacted by what others say or think about you? How often do you hold yourself back or talk yourself out of taking action because your confidence lets you down? Who could you be, what could you have, and where would you go if you could create approval from within and create a story that showered you with positivity, freedom, and relentless joy? This episode’s guest is the incredible Susie Moore - and she dances in this creative, curious space every day! Susie believes that joyful, loving, connected people are POWERFUL. It’s why she says that her only obligation is to have a joyful life - and in doing so, she serves as an example to others of what a joyful life looks and feels like. If you’re ready to be more confident [and feel more joyful in the process], this episode is

25/05/2020 Duration: 58min“Nobody wants your perfect, everyone just wants your human.” This episode’s guest is no stranger to the Stay Grounded Podcast. Nataly Kogan was one of our very first guests when we launched back in 2017. Nataly’s ‘Happier’ message was powerful back then, but it feels even more potent now - thanks to the new normal we’re navigating ourselves through.This current climate is bringing out the worst - and the best in us. Lockdown and all its associated uncertainties has pulled out the rug in so many areas of our lives. Trying to make sense of it all is tough and new emotions, fears, and experiences are constantly bubbling up. Nataly’s message of self-compassion is vital under these pressures. With the stresses we face right now, mistakes are inevitable. We’re going to get triggered and frustrated and that’s OK because as Nataly reminds us we’re all human and perfection is inauthentic. And amongst it all, self-compassion is the gateway to freedom, happiness, and joy. “Be a kind observer instead

130. Jon Krop: Meditation, Mindfulness, & Living Skillfully In The Modern World
18/05/2020 Duration: 47min“When you just leave your mind alone for extended periods of time, you start to see profound depths and profound stillness.” We live in beautiful times where meditation is no longer a fringe ritual.

11/05/2020 Duration: 55min“There is a twelve step process to burnout. We start with excessive ambition and end with a total mental and physical collapse.”Have you noticed that burnout is a badge of honor? As a society, we place a high value on the hard work and the hustle - and if you’re burnt out, by definition you’re a hard worker! But does burnout deliver the results you want?

For many entrepreneurs and founders, it is destroying us and our companies.” Does success require burnout? Can you build a thriving business and live a calm life? As a society, we’ve been raised on a diet where hard work equals the path to success, but is that really true? What’s more, are the sacrifices involved with the high stress, high-success ethos actually contributing to the lifestyle and results we really want? After finding himself on the floor of his dream home unable to move, Aaron Houghton realized there had to be a better way to live. An entrepreneur since the age of 17, Aaron launched more than ten tech startups - including one which he sold to a publicly traded company for $169 million before his 30th birthday. He’d ‘made’ it! The money, the business, the awards… but after pushing himself to his limits, Aaron began to question if the panic attacks, debilitating anxiety, and chronic stress

127. Tim Palladino: Teaching Ourselves To Be Human Beings Again
27/04/2020 Duration: 01h18s“Compassion, connection, and community are the world’s most valuable commodities right now.” This global pandemic is taking us on a rollercoaster of emotions. Just when we think we’ve found our groove and new normal, another layer slips away - leaving you dancing with a rush of new feelings. This extended time at home is contributing to the spectrum of emotions… tragedy to triumph and pain and joy. But amongst the chaos and turmoil is a chance to tune into yourself. To strip away what no longer serves. To surrender to the flow of what is.And perhaps even remember what it means to be human. In this beautiful episode, I riff about what it means to be human with my good friend Tim Palladino. It’s crazy that we need to learn how to be human beings, but thanks to a culture of doing and distractions, so many of us are stuck on the hamster wheel. Now we have a time to pause, reflect, and refresh our perspective - and fall in love with life at a whole new level. “I think we are built to be able to get

126. Grace Smith: How To Heal Past Trauma And Change Your Life Through Hypnotherapy
20/04/2020 Duration: 01h08min“My definition for hypnosis is ‘meditation with a goal’.” Why do we find it so difficult to do the things we really want to do? Why do we struggle to build the business of our dreams, create the abundance we crave, or attract the perfect partner? In this episode, you’ll discover that all your beliefs and habits originate in your subconscious. You can’t rewire these parts of you through logic alone, instead, you need to access the power of suggestion - and that’s only available to you when your brain is in a theta state.

Guide yourself into theta state and you can dial down fear, and do the deep, inner work that rewires what you believe about yourself. Then anything becomes possible. And in this important episode, Grace Smith - a pioneer in the hypnotherapy field reveals how. Listen to this episode and not only will you discover the theoretical reasons why hypnotherapy works.
