    Negative Thoughts Are Not Your Identity (ft. Rabbi Daniel Cohen)

    In this episode of The Vibe With Ky Podcast, Ky talks with Rabbi Daniel Cohen about why negative thoughts are not your identity and how to finally let go of them. If you have ever felt like your negative thoughts were just facts about who you are, this conversation was made for you. Rabbi Daniel Cohen is the senior rabbi at Congregation Agudath Shalom in Stamford, Connecticut, the largest modern orthodox synagogue in New England. He has mentored CEOs, Hall of Fame athletes like David Robinson, and national politicians, and he is the author of What Will They Say About You When You Are Gone, Creating a Life of Legacy. He is also the founder of The Legacy Academy, a training program built around intentionally creating purpose in everyday life. Ky and Rabbi Cohen get into why our brains cling so hard to worst case thinking, how to validate your feelings without spiraling, and where the line actually sits between holding yourself accountable and just being cruel to yourself. Rabbi Cohen shares real stories from the people he has mentored, including how a single morning practice of gratitude can completely change someone's relationship to their own mind. This is a conversation about catching yourself before the spiral, not pretending the spiral never happens. You will learn why negative thoughts are not permanent and not part of your identity.You will hear a practical way to practice gratitude that does not feel forced or fake.You will understand the real difference between healthy accountability and self bullying.You will get a framework for building a long term legacy even when the future feels hard to picture.Learn more about Rabbi Daniel Cohen and The Legacy Academy at https://thelegacyacademy.getlearnworlds.com/ TheVibeWithKy.com, for the ADHD store, the blog, and everything elsePatreon at https://www.patreon.com/thevibewithky, subscribe for five dollars a month for exclusive content including the ADHD Deep Dive library and the Reverse The Mic segment, not posted anywhere else onlineFacebook at https://www.facebook.com/thevibewithky/subscribe/, same exclusive content and Reverse The Mic segment, not posted anywhere else onlineInstagram at https://instagram.com/thevibewithkyTikTok at https://tiktok.com/@thevibewithkyADHD Vibers Store at https://thevibewithky.podia.com/ This podcast is for informational and entertainment purposes only and is not a substitute for professional medical or mental health advice.

    Why Two Doctors Missed Her ADHD for Years (ft. Sharon Pope)

    In this episode of The Vibe With Ky Podcast, we get into why ADHD in women so often goes missed, with Shelpful founder Sharon Pope. If you have ever judged yourself for forgetting to drink water, take a walk, or finish a single task for yourself while keeping everyone else's life running, this conversation was made for you. Sharon Pope is the founder of Shelpful, an AI powered accountability app built for ADHD and overwhelmed brains. She built the first version of the product after hitting her own rock bottom three months postpartum, and was later diagnosed with ADHD herself after her own app's users pointed it out, following years of being dismissed by two different doctors. Sharon and her team put together an exclusive offer for this community at shelpful.com/vibewithky, including one free month on top of the standard two week trial and fifteen dollars off Shelpful Smart Tags. Ky and Sharon talk through how Shelpful actually works, why generic advice like just get a planner fails ADHD brains, and why dropping the small self care stuff is executive dysfunction, not a character flaw. They also get into building an online community, the highs and lows of content creation, and what it means to stop shaming yourself for the small stuff. By the end of this episode, you will understand why proactive accountability works better than rigid systems for ADHD brains. You will learn why traditional advice like just set an alarm fails people with ADHD.You will understand why self care is usually the first thing to drop when life gets demanding.You will hear what it actually took for Sharon to get diagnosed after years of being dismissed.You will walk away with a new way to think about small daily struggles as resourcefulness, not failure.Sharon Pope and ShelpfulExclusive Vibe With Ky offer: shelpful.com/vibewithkyOne free month on top of the two week trial plus fifteen dollars off Shelpful Smart Tags, created specifically for this community.Instagram: instagram.com/shelpfulWebsite: shelpful.comTikTok: tiktok.com/@shelpfulFacebook: facebook.com/shelpfuliOS App: apps.apple.com/us/app/shelpful-ai-for-adhd-tasks/id6741499362Android App: play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.shelpful.shelpfulapp TheVibeWithKy.comthevibewithky.com Patreon: patreon.com/thevibewithkySubscribe for five dollars a month for exclusive content including the ADHD Deep Dive library and the full Reverse The Mic segment, not posted anywhere else online.

  3. You Don't Have Emotions, You Use Them (ft. Matt Young)

    You Don't Have Emotions, You Use Them (ft. Matt Young)

    In this episode of The Vibe With Ky Podcast, UK coach Matt Young explains why you don't have emotions, you use them, and how that single shift changes everything. If you have ever felt like your anxiety, your anger, or your overwhelm is just who you are and there is nothing you can do about it, this conversation was made for you. Matt Young is a UK-based emotional freedom coach who spent eight years as a professional footballer before running 17 ultra marathons and building a coaching practice that has helped thousands of people around the world break free from the emotions holding them back. His core philosophy flips the script on how most of us think about our inner world: we do not have emotions, we use them. Every limiting emotion, including anxiety, fear, and anger, is being used by the brain to serve a purpose, and the moment you understand that purpose, you stop being a passenger in your own life. In this episode, Matt and Ky dig into why feeling stuck has nothing to do with your circumstances and everything to do with the meaning you assign to them. They also get into the body-mind connection, the identity trap that keeps people caged inside a single emotion, and what it actually looks like to move from blame to ownership. Here is what you will walk away with: Why anxiety is not something you have, it is something you are using, and how to figure out what it is doing for you.How attaching your identity to an emotion quietly shrinks your entire world without you noticing.Why 80 percent of the neural pathways that regulate your nervous system run from body to brain, meaning your posture and breathing are shaping your emotional state more than your thoughts are.How to stop waiting for your circumstances to change before you allow yourself to feel differently.Check out Matt's free Five Day Mindset Shift, five days of short daily videos sent straight to your inbox:https://www.mattyounglc.com/5daymindsetshift Find Matt here:mattyounglc.cominstagram.com/mattyounglcfacebook.com/madeinthemindlinkedin.com/in/matt-young-mitm Support the show and keep up with Ky: Website and blog: https://thevibewithky.com Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/thevibewithkySubscribe for $5 a month for exclusive episodes, behind-the-scenes content, and the Reverse The Mic segment from this episode, where Matt puts Ky in the hot seat.
