You're Doing a Good Job Bleav

What does it look like to hold pain consciously and expand your capacity to receive.

Welcome back to another episode of You're Doing A Good Job. This week, I had a chance to sit down and talk with psychologist and parent coach, Dr. Ann Louise T. Lockhart.

Dr. Lockhart said it best when she said, "we need to own our feelings so our kids can own theirs. Before starting any more parenting techniques or strategies, first start with changing your parent mindset."

And that’s exactly what we dive into on today’s episode.

What does it mean to parenting consciously and how to change your parent mindset.

Welcome back to another episode of You're Doing A Good Job. Today on the show, I had a chance to sit down and talk to Dr. Caroline Leaf about her new book, Cleaning Up Your Mental Mess.

Dr. Leaf holds a very special place in my heart and you’ll hear about it it at the beginning of the episode, but after this podcast and having the chance to sit and talk with her more, I just have the utmost respect and adoration for her. The work that she has dedicated her life has not only changed my life but I know it has changed the lives of so many others.

And, I say this with 100% confidence, I know that it can also change your life.

You know, when I first started this healing journey after walking away from the NFL, I came across a quote by Victor Frankl, and maybe you’ve heard it, but it says between stimulus and response is a space and in that space is the power to choose our response. And, in our response, lies our growth and freedom.

That’s so powerful and I bring up that quote because alot of what Dr. Leaf’s book, Cleaning Up Your Mental Mess and also this podcast episode is about is essentially the step by step process on how you can began to recognize that sliver of space between stimulus and response in your own life and begin to choose your response in a way that is conducive to the life that you actually want to live.

To sum it all up in a sentence, it’s really all about learning how to take back the power to your life.

In her book, Cleaning Up Your Mental Mess, Dr. Leaf breaks down the five action-oriented steps called the Neurocycle, that will help you eliminate the root of anxiety, depression and intrusive thoughts so that you can begin to build a healthy new and automated neural network inside of your brain.

It’s powerful, powerful, powerful. We hear all about you know, doing the work, and this is the work. Literally, the playbook of how to do the work.

And if you don’t know, Dr. Leaf is a communication pathologist and a cognitive neuroscientist and what I love about her is that she has the uncanny ability to take the very complex science and all the intricacies around what is happening in our brains as we are not only traumatized, or experience trauma in life, but also as we are healing and she is able to break it down in a way that enables you to comprehend, and understand and to see more clearly what is actually happening.

Another cool thing that you should know is that Dr. Leaf was one of the first in her field to study how the brain can change with directed mind input. She has helped hundreds of thousands of students and adults learn how to use t heir mind to detox and grow their brain, helping them succeed in every area of their lives, including school, university and the workplace.

Welcome back! This week, we are talking about love.

Honestly, it’s funny to me because the last thing that I was expecting in life was to find what I would call my soul partner. And it’s interesting to me because as I look back at the last decade of my life, all of the work that I had been doing really was to create space to invite love in. All of the healing and the letting go and the grieving and doing the work, it was creating the space in my life to invite love in.

And that’s what we are talking about today. Today’s guest is Amber Kelleher-Andrews and she is a leading relationship expert & CEO of the #1 matchmaking firm in the world Kelleher International.
