  1. One Second of Strength Can Change Your Life with Guest Expert Tanner Clark

    One Second of Strength Can Change Your Life with Guest Expert Tanner Clark

    What if all it took was one moment of strength to feel more aligned? Whether it’s making a career change or making choices about personal relationships, choosing to overcome your fear and move forward in a single moment, despite the discomfort, can change your life.   Today on The Bridge to Fulfillment Ⓡ, Blake welcomes Tanner Clark, a TEDx and Mindset Speaker who helps people of all ages use their One Second of Strength to improve their lives, set intentions, observe their behavior, and pursue what matters most.  In this episode, you’ll learn how societal conditioning often pushes us away from our passions and natural strengths, particularly during childhood. We carry those limiting beliefs into adulthood, which inevitably leads to misalignment and a lack of fulfillment. You’ll learn the importance of listening to your inner compass rather than defaulting to distractions, and how you can use the "SOS approach" to Set intentions, Observe behavior, and Shift with one second of strength - as a framework for creating meaningful change.  Despite your fears and self-doubt, you are the one who is ultimately in control of your life- and you already possess the unique qualifications to achieve your goals.   What You’ll Learn: Choosing to follow your inner compass (8:50) How one second changes a life (11:08) Circling back to what brings you fulfillment (17:56) Finding the answers within (24:33) Mindset and self-awareness (39:42)   Favorite Quotes: “If more of us understood that life isn't permanent, that the decisions that we make when we have more information, we can change them; that listening to that inner compass is actually what leads to a fulfilling life. If they had more of that understanding, more of that framework, we would see people be far more fulfilled.” –Blake Schofield “No matter what decision you made in the past, what's the next best decision you're going to make now?” –Tanner Clark “What I know to be true is the things that are effortless, the things that you naturally have a passion for, the things that automatically give you energy, are those breadcrumbs, are those signs of what you should be doing.” –Blake “The biggest challenge today is truly distraction. When life gets a little bit hard or a little bit uncomfortable or a little bit challenging, the default now is to just pick up your phone and sit down on the staircase of life and do nothing. And there's nothing worse than just sitting and doing nothing instead of moving life forward. We’ve got to sit in silence a little bit more. We've got to get really, really comfortable with that boredom and that silence, because I believe that you already have the answers to almost every problem you're facing, if you'll just listen to yourself. ” –Tanner Clark   Additional Resources:    Connect with Tanner Clark: Instagram: @realtannerclark  Website: www.onesecondofstrength.com TEDx Talk: One Second of Strength by Tanner Clark For programs and opportunities to work with Blake, go to www.BlakeSchofield.com

    Life, Career, or Relationship Crossroads? Two Questions Unlock Your Path

    Are you feeling lost, uncertain, stressed, or anxious about a big decision, and you're not sure which next step to take? Navigating major life, career, and relationship decisions can feel overwhelming. It’s in these turbulent, unsteady, and chaotic times that we’re tasked with choices that will make huge impacts on our lives.  Seasons of change are an inevitable part of life. It’s how you approach those changes that makes all the difference.  Today on The Bridge to FulfillmentⓇ, Blake discusses the collective season of change many of us are experiencing and the uncertainty that comes with it. Reflecting on whether your current life path aligns with your future goals will help identify misalignments, guiding you towards better decisions that lead to greater fulfillment.  In this episode, you’ll learn what it feels like to navigate the uncertainty of big changes and the toll that their weight can have on your life. You’ll hear about the role that misalignment plays in our hesitancy to make choices, and how you can jumpstart the momentum by asking yourself two important questions.  With the right strategy and the right support behind you, you can finally create the changes that will lead to more alignment in your life.    What You’ll Learn: Our collective season of change (0:46) Why important decisions can’t be rushed (2:11) Two powerful questions to help you gain clarity (3:12) Navigating major decisions strategically (6:08) Partnering with an impartial ally (8:07)   Favorite Quotes: “We are in a collective season of change. The last couple months has brought a lot of challenge and chaos to many of us, and now is an opportunity to clear the way and really identify. What is it that we want for our future?” –Blake Schofield “In moments like this, when you're at these types of crossroads, the biggest mistake you can make is rushing to take action just to feel better.” –Blake Schofield “The truth is, the longer you continue to do things that are misaligned, the harder and harder it gets.” –Blake Schofield “If you're navigating a major life, career or relationship decision, it's critical that you actually see the truth clearly, so that you don't risk what you've worked so hard to build.” –Blake Schofield   Additional Resources:    For programs and opportunities to work with Blake, go to www.BlakeSchofield.com

    Successful on Paper but Lost, Drained, or Unfulfilled?

    Are you successful “on paper” but in reality, you’re feeling lost, drained, or unfulfilled? You worked hard to get where you are, but your career success doesn’t feel like it’s ticking all the boxes. When success isn’t making us happy, society can make you feel like that lack of fulfillment is your fault.  If you feel like something is missing, then it’s a sign of misalignment…but there is a way out.  Today on The Bridge to Fulfillment Ⓡ, Blake shares her personal journey from success on paper to success without sacrifice. Building a successful career and a fulfilling life is possible without taking a paycut or starting over ™. In this episode, you’ll learn how to recognize the signs of misalignment and how to break free from burnout for good. You’ll hear how Blake has helped hundreds of people who’ve felt lost, drained, and unfulfilled find clarity. You’ll learn how to make lasting changes and create meaningful impact in your life and career.    What You’ll Learn: Why success on paper doesn’t alway equal happiness (0:38) Recognizing the signs of misalignment (2:19) What you need to know if you’re feeling trapped (3:50) Shifting from misalignment to clarity (6:04) The first step to creating change (6:35)   Favorite Quotes: "You already have everything that you need inside of you to create the type of fulfilling career in life that you want. You just need clarity to be able to truly see and understand that and a strategic path where you can create that change with less resistance, more ease and less risk."  “In a world where most people are unfulfilled in their career, where society tells us that we have to sacrifice or hustle and grind in order to have success, it becomes really easy to believe that maybe we are the problem.” “I have seen is a consistent pattern of incredibly talented high achievers who have gotten locked into a box that they don't belong in, who haven't been surrounded by the right people who could help them solve this problem, and who begin to slowly die in careers and lives that don't really feel right and they don't know what to do about it.” “If we still feel lost, drained, or unfulfilled, these are not signs that something is wrong with us. They're actually signs and symptoms of misalignment in our lives.”   Additional Resources:  For programs and opportunities to work with Blake, go to www.BlakeSchofield.com

  4. Protect Your Energy & Reclaim Your Life

    Protect Your Energy & Reclaim Your Life

    We've been told that time is our most valuable resource. But what if we've been focusing on the wrong currency all along? The truth is that we have a resource far more important than time.  It’s our energy that actually determines what we accomplish – and how we feel doing it.  The breakthrough comes when we stop asking "Do I have time?" and start asking "Where is my energy going?" Today on The Bridge to Fulfillment®, Blake challenges the belief that time is our most valuable resource. She reveals why energy is a far more valuable asset, and shares how you can begin to align your energy with your goals to gain better focus and more clarity. In this episode, you’ll learn why time and money can’t solve the root issues of feeling depleted or unfocused. You’ll start to understand your personal energy fingerprint and how to apply sharper focus to the things that truly matter to you. You’ll also learn a simple exercise to pinpoint how your energy reserves are being spent so you can start to unravel the lies that are keeping you stuck.  If you’re ready to start protecting your most valuable resource to reclaim your life, then this episode is for you.    What You’ll Learn: Why energy is more important than time (0:50) Our energy expenditure is personal (2:26) Signs that you’re not using your energy properly (3:00) An easy way to start gaining traction in your life (4:02) The lies that keep you trapped (5:05)   Favorite Quotes: “Most of us are unaware of how we're using our energy, the things that are giving us energy or draining energy, and whether we are appropriately focusing our energy on the things that will be most meaningful and most impactful.” “Each one of us is individually wired uniquely in terms of how to best use and leverage our energy to create results.” “By becoming more aware of where your focus is and where you're placing your energy, you can begin to see areas that are actually giving you life, giving you more passion, more energy, more focus, more impact.  And you can also see the areas in your life that are draining you and pulling you away from what it is that you want.” “You have so much more power to create change in your life than you believe.”   Additional Resources:  For programs and opportunities to work with Blake, go to www.BlakeSchofield.com

  5. What If What You Believe Isn’t True?

    MAR 6

    What If What You Believe Isn’t True?

    What if the story you've been telling yourself is THE THING that’s holding you back? Our brains create narratives to make sense of experiences, but often, these stories are inaccurate. By accepting our internal stories as absolute truth, we remain stuck, surrounded by the same perspectives that will only continue to hold us back. When we start to challenge these assumptions, it helps us begin to break free from limiting beliefs and uncover new possibilities that help foster a deeper understanding of ourselves and clear the path toward personal transformation. Today on The Bridge to Fulfillment®, Blake challenges you to examine your beliefs and question whether the stories you tell yourself are the truth. By challenging assumptions and embracing self-awareness, you can break free from limiting beliefs, see new opportunities, and rewrite the stories that define you.  In this episode, you’ll learn about the impact that personal narratives have on our lives and the importance of questioning their truth. You’ll learn how personal growth strategies like expanding your circle can help provide new perspectives, build deeper connections, and foster compassion. You’ll learn how to start questioning your narrative and understand the powerful effect this mindset shift can have on your life, relationships, and career.    What You’ll Learn: The lies our brain tells us (1:03) How to stimulate personal growth (3:08) Why we can feel like the world is a challenging place (5:56) How to determine if your brain is telling you the truth (8:11) The powerful ripple effect of challenging your beliefs (9:58)   Favorite Quotes: “One of the biggest risks in our lives are the stories that we believe are true, that just aren't.” –Blake “When we grow up in families that focus on achievements or what other people think, ultimately, we end up looking externally for the answers." –Blake “We aren't alone, we aren't broken, and nothing is wrong with us. We have an opportunity to truly become the people that we feel called to be.” –Blake “I've really come to learn and understand how fantastic our brain is at coming up with stories, and how often those stories are wrong." –Blake   Additional Resources:  For programs and opportunities to work with Blake, go to www.BlakeSchofield.com

    EP 273: Tiny Experiments, BIG Breakthroughs with Guest Expert Anne-Laure Le Cunff

    Is the fear of uncertainty keeping you stuck? Feeling drained or unfulfilled isn’t a personal weakness. It’s a sign that you’re operating on outdated scripts, following paths that no longer serve you. But breaking free doesn’t require a massive leap… just a tiny experiment. Today on The Bridge to Fulfillment®, Blake welcomes Anne-Laure Le Cunff. She is a neuroscientist, entrepreneur, and writer and is the founder of Ness Labs.  She explores evidence-based methods for people to make the most of their minds, navigate uncertainty, and practice lifelong learning. Her work has been featured in peer-reviewed academic journals and mainstream publications such as WIRED, Forbes, Rolling Stone, Fortune, Entrepreneur, and more. In this episode, you’ll learn how to embrace uncertainty through times of transition. You’ll hear how “tiny experiments” can help you break free from cognitive scripts and build self-confidence. You’ll also learn how to schedule in time for curiosity and exploration so that you can start making small, incremental changes that will eventually help you achieve true personal and professional fulfillment.   What You’ll Learn: Anne-Laure’s personal journey through experimentation (3:12) Why we should treat struggles and burnout as signals for change (13:23) Embracing uncertainty rather than looking for answers (20:06) "Tiny experiments" to progressively build self-confidence (28:10) Focusing on learning rather than success or failure (40:10)   Favorite Quotes: "It's really about starting small and just trying to do something different, maybe something that goes against what advice you would get from friends or from your employer, and seeing that the world doesn't end." –Anne-Laure Le Cunff "It's really about progressively building that self-confidence through cycles of experimentation, instead of trying to make the big change straight away."  –Anne-Laure Le Cunff “When I began to realize that [experimentation] was the only way to get what it is that I wanted, it really helped me learn to embrace that uncertainty and to recognize that uncertainty was actually the gift.” –Blake Schofield "As long as you learn something new, that's success." –Anne-Laure Le Cunff “The things that we're experiencing are actually signs and symptoms that our life is in misalignment. They are warning signs. But because we're surrounded by other people experiencing the same thing, our brain will pattern match and say, nothing's wrong with me." –Blake Schofield   Additional Resources:  Connect with Anne-Laure Le Cunff: https://nesslabs.com/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/alecunff/ https://x.com/neuranne https://www.youtube.com/@neuranne/featured https://nesslabs.com/book  For programs and opportunities to work with Blake, go to www.BlakeSchofield.com

  7. Cultivating Confidence

    FEB 6

    Cultivating Confidence

    When your gut tells you something, do you listen or do you tend to push those feelings aside? Intuition is your inner compass, but too often, we ignore those important signals- and that could be the very thing that’s holding you back from the life you want to create.  Today on The Bridge to Fulfillment®, Blake explains why learning to trust your intuition is one of the fastest and most impactful ways to create the life that you want. She shares one simple thing you can do today to unlock your inner confidence. In this episode, you’ll learn why so many of us lack confidence, and how societal conditioning and parenting paradigms have taught us to ignore how we feel. You’ll understand how that follows us into adulthood, resulting in a lack of confidence and self-gaslighting. You’ll learn the simple prompt that will help you start trusting your gut right now so you can cultivate more self-confidence and create a life of ease.   What You’ll Learn: Why we lack confidence (2:46)  Ignoring the evidence of your intuition (7:11) How a lack of self-trust manifests into adulthood (8:37) Listening to your intuition (9:38) Letting your inner compass guide you (11:20)   Favorite Quotes: "Your brain can only process about 25% of the stimulus that you are getting... the remaining 75% your brain literally does not know about. So when you override your intuition, you are ignoring 75% of the evidence that you are being given." –Blake Schofield “Life is always working for you. It's always working for your advantage. The challenge is we often are misinterpreting or overriding the lessons we're being shown.” –Blake "Building confidence in yourself and your own decision making and your own intuition is one of the fastest and most impactful ways to be able to create the life that you want." –Blake Schofield “True confidence doesn’t come from your identity in a job or relationship or parenting. It comes from being able to trust yourself and your decisions and know that you are creating the life and the career that you want.” –Blake Schofield   Additional Resources:  For programs and opportunities to work with Blake, go to www.BlakeSchofield.com

    EP 271: Solve Any Challenge with This Simple Question

    We often think that tough situations require complex solutions.  But what if the solution was much simpler than you think? Today on The Bridge to Fulfillment Ⓡ, Blake reveals the importance of viewing challenges as opportunities for growth and how one simple mindset shift can help you simplify complex problems, foster curiosity, and operate from a place of non-judgment.  In this episode, you’ll learn how our lack of formal education around growth is the reason why we often repeat the same mistakes over and over again. Simplifying your thought process helps expand your perspective, allowing you to challenge the limiting beliefs that lead to repetitive issues. You’ll learn how to embrace curiosity and ultimately find the root cause.    What You’ll Learn: The truth about the challenges you’re facing (2:16) A challenge to reconsider now (3:11) Why you keep repeating the same mistakes (5:14) What happens when you decide to make things easier (6:09)   Favorite Quotes: “There is always a solution to the challenge that you're facing or the opportunity ahead of you.” –Blake Schofield “When we don't see something simple, when it feels complex, it's a great opportunity to stop and question, what do we believe about this?” –Blake Schofield “There is no challenge you can't meet. There is no struggle that you are facing today that you can't overcome.” –Blake Schofield “We are not living as authentically as we want. We are not living with the peace and joy and space and time to be present in the way that we want, but it is possible for us to do that, and it starts with that curiosity.” –Blake Schofield   Additional Resources:  For programs and opportunities to work with Blake, go to www.BlakeSchofield.com
