Conquering Overwhelm: 5 Habits to Thrive!
We all experience overwhelm. As a coach, I often get question on how to better manage overwhelm. Just this past week, I got a text from someone who had a new job as a manager and wanted to know how to manage the overwhelm of a new job, as an introverted leader.
As someone who is an introvert themselves, I resonated with this question.
So what causes overwhelm?
* Overwhelm = capacity to perform < the amount of work
* Overwhelm = self-confidence < belief we can perform
* Overwhelm = rest time < performance time
* Overwhelm = resources < Requirement for Time and Deadlines
These are the usual scenarios people experience when they have overwhelm.
So how can we best manage when we feel overwhelmed? Listen for Five strategies to help manage overwhelm.

The Transformative Power of Men's Group Work: Embracing Authenticity and Inclusivity - IRL Men With Brian Thompson and Troy Piwowarski
Join our engaging conversation with Brian and Troy, co-founders of IRL Men and IRL Therapy, as they discuss how they have created safe spaces for men to delve into mental health and interpersonal relationships.
This podcast explores the journey of forming their partnership, the significance of self-reflection and compassion in relationships, and the impact of personal growth on other aspects of life. It also highlights the importance of expressing emotions, building authentic connections, and challenging societal norms within men's groups. Additionally, the episode explores the transformative power of men's group work, emphasizing the essence of authenticity and inclusivity. Learn how to join a men's group, the benefits of individual, couples, and group therapy, and the evolving concept of "in real life" during the pandemic. Key Points:
• The focus of the groups is on fostering a living laboratory for individuals to understand their emotions and relational impact.
• Difficult conversations and trust issues can be transformative if approached with compassion and empathy.
• Building relationship skills and investing in personal growth can positively impact all areas of life.
• Some groups hesitate to express love, fearing it may disrupt the harmony and the need for safety in the group.
• Authenticity and growth are fostered by confronting and exploring societal pressures and expectations.
• "IRL" stands for "in real life," representing the real connections and experiences even in virtual settings. Best Quotes:
* [27:52 - 28:08] "I'm curious how does, especially for men's groups where I guess if you go from like a stereotypical thing, like it's not showing love is maybe providing or it's very restrictive."
* [41:53 - 41:59] "There's a fire in our groups where we're really, we're not messing around. We're really seeing each other."
* [53:03 - 53:08] "The truth will set you free, but first it'll piss you off."
* [56:49 - 56:54] "We practice primarily in California, but there's a daytime group that's just a men's group, it's not a therapy group." About Troy:
Troy Piwowarski is a licensed psychologist and a Certified Group Psychotherapist who has been practicing therapy for the past 16 years. Troy was drawn to the field of psychotherapy because it helped him to find words to describe the mysterious, shadowy world of emotions he longed to understand as a kid. Troy's own experience of awakening as a client formed the foundation for his own self-understanding that continues to unfold and deepen with the assistance of guided psychedelic medicine work. The work Troy has done on himself has allowed him to help others see their own blindspots and awaken from their own versions of repression and unconscious patterns from childhood wounding. He spent the first part of his career in the community mental health world, and in the past 7 years, transitioned into private practice work, where he offers individual and group therapy, as well as clinical supervision. Men's group work has been an incredibly enriching part of Troy's own growth and deepening as a therapist and has profoundly changed his own vision of what it means to be a man in modern society. About Brian:
Brian is a psychotherapist, comedian, and guy who currently needs a haircut. He absolutely loves men’s groups, from the pre group building stage to the goodbyes. Brian has recently realized he is much more passionate about men’s groups than “men’s work”. He believes the ritual of circling up together on a regular basis is a simple, potent tool that men in particular desperately need as we find our way forward in an increasingly integral and fragmented world. Brian’s passion and mission is to live in a world where every man has a circle they can rely on for support and challenge. Brian first experienced a men’s circle in India when he was 21. That experience had a profound effect on his sense of belonging and the intimacy that was possible among men. Brian's undergrad self-created major was in, get this, "Interpersonal and Community Dynamics: The pursuit of healthy sustainable relationships". Later he earned his Masters in Counseling Psychology. He is a certified group psychotherapist. He and Troy run 7 of IRL Men’s 8 weekly men’s circles and would love to offer even more so that everyone can experience the alchemical, life affirming, simplicity of group. LINKS:

The AI Wave Will Change Everything - How To Keep Up On The AI Trend
How we define work and interact with technology is changing. AI tools like ChatGPT will disrupt how we work, and it's crucial to develop new skills to stay ahead of the game. You may struggle in your career if you don't, as AI tools help people become more prolific.
But don't worry, there's still time to learn and grow in this new world of work. Knowing how to engineer prompts properly and interact with tools like ChatGPT can help you become more productive and effective. If you don't learn these skills, you may be at a huge disadvantage.
Knowing what are good and bad uses cases for AI is also needed.
Like any tool, AI can be used for good or evil. Knowing how it works and understanding it can also have biases requires some expertise in the topic you are talking about is helpful.

Why Your Personal Meaningful Revolution Needs High Performance
What is the connection between the high performance part of what I do and your meaningful revolution?
Have you ever wondered why you are not progressing at your desired pace toward your goals? Or why do you feel stuck or gain momentum on a change you know you need to make?
I've been there, and every time it comes down to your overall level of performance and how integrated your health, career, relationships, and well-being are towards your goals.
This week Shawn shares the five pillars of high performance because when you have your performance figured out, you can take on more and increase your impact.
When we do not focus on our overall performance, we are at the whims of how we feel in the moment and how comfortable we feel - which prevents us from service at our highest level with excellence.

Engagement Is Intention In Action
Today we're going to be talking about why full engagement in all areas of your life is important for your personal revolution.
When you don't fully engage in all different areas of your life, you can't sustain progress. That's when you get exhausted and wore out.
When we are effectively able to engage in our health, in our careers, in our relationships, in our wellbeing, in our finances, and the list goes on and on, we are more resilient.
We are able to withstand things that happen that are out of our control a little bit easier. We are able to be more motivated, so we're less distracted, we're less. Impacted by the craziness that happens with people out in the world. We are more disciplined in our approach and we are constantly growing and pushing ourselves to serve at a higher level.
And so that's why engagement is so absolutely important to us living our meaningful revolutions. And when we don't, again, we fall into areas of distraction or pettiness. We hurt our health because…

We all experience fear. The question is always - Do you control your fear, or does fear control you?
My guest today is an actress, stunt-women, and overall badass.
We cover a ton of ground discussing fear, how our brains process it, the difference between "dirty fear" vs "clean fear" and more!
About Patricia:
Patricia is perhaps best known for her work in the 1990 cult classic “Night of The Living Dead” as Barbara, the beleaguered heroine. Some may argue she is best known for her role as Lyta Alexander in the Hugo Award winning series, Babylon 5. Either way, she has been swept into a career that features horror and Science Fiction projects. She is less recognizable, but no less memorable, as the Horror Hag in Evil Dead III, Army of Darkness. Theatre being her true love, Pat was delighted to be featured in the Los Angeles Sci Fest of Plays.

Five Mindsets To Start YOUR Meaningful Revolution
In today's episode, I share a quick update on the podcast, how the meaning behind the meaningful revolution podcast has changed, and FIVE mindsets to start your personal, meaningful revolution!
-----
My work as a coach is to shift people into a more inspired life.
Almost all of my clients are successful, happy, high performing, and working on meaningful things. What almost everyone needs help with, though, is the ratio of meaningful tasks to busy work. So much of my work is helping people clarify what they find fulfilling in their relationships and work and the things that drain them.
Sometimes it means leaving a job where they treat you terribly. Other times it means figuring out your psychology so you can constantly work out and role model healthy behaviors for your kiddos.
Ultimately, we all want to live AMAZING lives. Imagine if every day you spent FOUR hours working on things that mattered to you, your health, your family, and the dent you make in the universe?

Listen to hear her journey, why self-care helps us be better all around, and habits to help you rejuvenate and THRIVE.
