Dear friends - it’s time to share this journey of faith and service. This episode is from a talk given at the ACTS retreat last month. It’s the journey of how/why/when service became an important part of my life, and how faith has evolved what service looks like. The feedback shared by retreat participants, “We have a lot in common”, “you are just like me”, and “you could be telling my story”. That’s the reason for sharing it today - perhaps it will resonate with you too.
Growing, stumbling, falling, and refining with a greater sense of purpose and meaning is the journey to an unstoppable life.
Join us for a conversation on chapters 2-4 of Fierce Self Compassion by Dr. Kristin Neff.
A lot is shared in this episode about our lives, our perceptions, and how we shaped (and beat up) our younger selves. You’ll also hear how compassion has helped us evolve into who we are today.

Ahhh. . . friends. . . where do we go after a podcast episode on Betrayal? Big smile. I think we talk about what was opened up, the patterns of coping from the past, and all of the opportunities that are now available.
Today's episode is around the question 'How free do you want to be?'. You will hear the question intentionally presented in many different ways. All so that you can cultivate a more unstoppable life.

“Do you know anyone well versed in leading a conversation about betrayal - giving language to the emotions, and opening up to healing? Bonus points if it’s you.”
That was the invitation to Dr. Tracey O’Connell, who graciously said yes.
She’s an incredible human - deeply insightful, compassionate, and empathetic. Tracey has lived a full & courageous life. She started as a Radiologist and has evolved her skills to include facilitating Dr. Brené Brown’s Daring Way program, leading expressive writing programs, and coaching people on sustainable well-being and positive self-worth. She knows how to lead difficult conversations.
Today’s conversation is about betrayal. It’s a complex topic entangled with strong emotions, and is a deep wound for many of us. We’ll share our stories and do some processing in real time. We’ll also talk about what has helped in the past and what helps us today.
Experiencing complex emotions, such as betrayal, is part of the human experience. The episode is an offering for you to give language to any deep wounds that may be present, and start the journey of healing knowing that you are not alone.
Tracey O'Connell, MD is a self-described "recovering physician" who expanded her career in Radiology to being an educator, speaker, and coach, fostering positive self-worth and sustainable well-being with teens, physicians, and LGBTQ+. She is a certified facilitator of expressive writing and Brené Brown's shame resilience programs. Her change of direction came after many years of feeling "not enough" as a person, a physician, a parent, or partner. She learned that helping people FEEL better helps them feel BETTER. Owning how we actually feel, how we'd like to feel, how we don't want to feel, and how others feel, significantly helps sustain our self-worth and well-being.

High achievers. . . we deny a lot, especially when things change and we are struggling.
Today’s episode provides a framework for recovering better. . . starting from when there is an abrupt change and your mind is spinning around in overwhelm. I’ll share what’s normal, what we do and no longer have to, and how you can create more calm and ease. It’s all part of living an unstoppable life.
Being still is not something we high achievers do often (or well). We prefer staying busy with an overloaded to-do list. (Big smile)
Today’s podcast episode is all about the last 2 weeks and a new call to be still. I’ll share the precipitant for this unexpected journey, and the lessons I’ve learned. Laugh with me and take some notes. . . there are take-aways for creating a more unstoppable life.

Life is difficult. Relationships are difficult. Organizations are difficult. It’s been a difficult three years since the world changed. So how do we move beyond surviving. . . into flourishing?
Dr. Tricia Wooden is here to walk us through it. She’s deeply introspective and has thought a lot about flourishing at an organizational level and personal level. In this episode we cover what wellness looks like, how she thinks about it, and the habits she’s adopted to flourish in her life.
Tricia is a wife, mother, and family physician, and passionate advocate/leader for clinician well-being. She received her MD degree from Oregon Health and Science University in Portland. She is also a Navy Veteran and member of Women Warrior Healers.
This short episode contains reflections on who we are called to be as high achievers with the capability to give and live at an extraordinary level. We’ll review some of the wisdom from the last episode shared by Dr. Mariano, and the why behind reaching farther and living louder. It’s all to create the world that we want to live in.
This episode is filled with so much greatness. Dr. Connie Mariano has led an unstoppable life and shares her world with us - where she’s been, what she’s learned, how she thinks about service and serves all who come in contact with her, and what she’s welcoming for 2023. In the next 30 minutes you'll smile, tear up, and feel a genuine connection to the stories she shares.
Dr. Connie Mariano is used to breaking barriers and shattering the glass ceiling.
Her life has been filled with many achievements: high school valedictorian, graduate with honors at the University of California at San Diego, medical degree from the Uniformed Services University School of Medicine, and a distinguished 24-year career in the U. S. Navy.
Dr. Mariano has also been the first in the following achievements:
- The first military woman to become the White House Physician to the President
- The first woman Director of the White House Medical Unit
- The first Filipino American in US history to become a Navy Rear Admiral
Dr. Mariano now works full time in her private practice, the Center for Executive Medicine, in Scottsdale. She is the author of the book, The White House Doctor: My Patients were Presidents, A Memoir. She also hosts her own talk show on the VoiceAmerica network, “House Calls with Dr Connie,”.
Even with all of her accomplishments, she believes her most important titles are wife, mother, grandmother, and since July 2019, widow. She is currently writing her memoir about widowhood and launching her second monthly podcast, The Widow’s Walk, on the Voice America Empowerment Channel dedicated to the 700,000 new widows each year in America.

Today we are exploring a habit that many of us have - self-protection during times of uncertainty or perceived threat. This concept is presented beautifully by Dr. Brené Brown in her book Atlas of the Heart.
Here’s what we do as normal humans during times of stress or strain - default to believing with certainty what we (think we) know, armoring up to defend ourselves, and knowing everything rather than being open to learning. In this state, we make decisions quickly, even irrationally, to avoid feeling things like. . . vulnerability. . . uncertainty. . . and foolishness.
In this episode, we’ll also explore two offerings of living differently in the world, offered by Big Love and Dr. Brown. Simple steps are available to go from ‘normal human behavior’ to living a life that is extraordinary.
Happy New Year friends. It's going to be an incredible year.
This podcast is about sharing blocks/ideas/ways to improve your quality of life by shifting both mindset and practices. Today’s episode provides you with 3 things that you can leave behind in 2022.

Today’s episode is a celebration and close-out of 2023. That’s right - we are going to be thinking about how 2023 went - what we experienced, where we traveled, what we created, and how we’ve grown for the year that starts in only 9 days. The goal is to generate depth and excitement for the year you want to experience. In this episode you'll hear how Bev Aron (incredible thought leader & coach) shared the process of ending the year before it begins. I'll then guide you through the categories of a meaningful life, and share how I'm thinking about a year from now. It's a fun journey to start today.
We all need community & strong relationships for a meaningful life. There are 2 communities for women physicians & dentists:

Today’s conversation is with Dr. Nerissa Kreher, a physician in the biotech world and Mom to two amazing young adults. She has taken on 2 extraordinary challenges - raising money for the Fred Hutch Cancer Center and climbing Mt. Kilimanjaro.

Today’s episode is all about creating more peace, calm, and connection for the holiday season. It’s a fun conversation with Dr. Santi Tanikella who exudes kindness and grace. We’ll cover ways to create more depth during the holidays, and how to overcome the threats to peace. Near the end of the episode, Santi will guide you to reconnect with yourself through a meditation she created.
Peace, calm, and connection don’t magically happen. . .especially for the high achiever. They require doing less intentionally, stepping back from wanting/needing to control, and enjoying the moments exactly as they are.
Santi Tanikella, MD, is a General Pediatrician, Integrative Medicine practitioner, and Life Coach. Her deepest aspiration is to help others find peace and strength – no matter what their challenges are. She has always been interested in the intersection between mind, body, spirit, and motivation.

Many, many high achievers experience guilt, shame, and unworthiness. This podcast episode is all about noticing the unease or restlessness in your body that accompanies these emotions. It’s the unease that we try to push away or numb out from. . . distracting us from what we really want in life - peace, meaning, fulfillment.
We’ll explore how to recognize it, notice the patterns/behaviors that accompany it, and what you can do to stay intentional and in alignment with your values. Rather than being something to run away from, unease can be a beautiful sign that realignment is needed.
Today’s episode is about Indecision and what it steals from our lives. You’ll see why it is difficult to make decisions, and learn a simple tool to assess the weight of any decision you are making. You’ll also gain a better framework for making powerful decisions more often. There may even be some conversation about the Army Reserves (big smile).
Decisions can be easy, fun, meaningful, light, humorous, and with far less suffering than you’ve experienced in the past. They are what lead to a more unstoppable life.
So often I think I know. . . the “right way”, the “right time”, the “right decisions”, only to find out that each day is a new day.
Today’s episode is about what’s happening within me right now. . . timely for Veterans Day. You’ll hear about “this feeling” and how I’m navigating the unknown with trusted souls who aren’t (yet) on board. You’ll also hear encouragement for your calling, and how to navigate it in a meaningful way. We don’t need the answers right now, and they are not available. We simply need trust for the next best step forwards.
Happy Veterans Day and a special shout-out to the life of CSM Gary Bess and his family. Thank you for your service, we miss you already.
This real conversation is with Dr. Luyi Kathy Zhang, a palliative care & hospice physician, podcaster, author, and life coach who helps people build a purposeful life. We cover how she thinks about her life, adds more intention into her work, and keeps growing in a meaningful way. You’ll hear her journey of discovering her voice and sharing it with others. You’ll also hear gems of wisdom, and what she wants everyone in the world to know.
Kathy’s mission is to bring the clarity, purpose and meaning that comes with confronting one’s mortality to those fortunate enough not to—because everyone deserves to live the life they want with the time they have left.

Giving is simple. It’s something we do a lot as high achievers. Sometimes (or quite often) we give more than we have.
Today’s episode is about being on the other side. . . becoming an abundant receiver. We’ll explore what holds us back from receiving, and how to move forward in a way that honors ourselves and the giver. You’ll see that you are not alone and that better is possible.
Create more depth in your relationships and become a better giver by abundantly receiving.

So spending 50ish years on this planet may have given some insight to ourselves and the humans around us. Some lessons came from our families, some our friends, others from the not so friendly. Those lessons could be good or bad or somewhere in between. Come join us as Craig and I reflect on what we have learned and what has surprised us in that learning.

Today we are going to discuss our place in the world as we see it. As we explore and work to be better, we will look at our need to stay focused, see the great picture of who we are, and many other concepts of who we are and how we can get there. It all starts with the idea that we are made for more.

What do you think you are capable of today? Are you limiting yourself without seeing if you are capable of more? You may believe that you have reached the top.

It is about going further than what you think and how to believe you are capable of more!
Today we are talking to an amazing woman and physician, Dr. Meera Beharry, adolescent medicine specialist. So let's think - what is hebiatrics and what are we missing with the issues that our adolescents are facing today? What can we do to provide a positive impact that can help them? The problems adolescents face now (social media, pandemic, isolation) require different approaches and solutions. Meera gives us some insight to the problems, dispels the myth around resilience, and gives us some hope and opportunities to help the adolescents we serve (and live with!).

Where is your emotional home? How do you feel when you are there? Comfortable? Powerful? In control? Expressive? Or is it a place that is negative…and full? Today we look into our emotional homes - why we go there, what we do, and learn that we are enough and that we belong.
We all need someone that is there for us. The person who is in our corner. The person that understands what we have been through. In this episode, Dr. Amy Vertrees, a surgeon and former Army doctor with multiple deployments, talks to us about the power of connection and support through the tribe you build.
Making and then accomplishing your goals is challenging. Probably the hardest part is staying committed to achieving them. How much energy, time, and focus do you have to get to the end? And what happens when you hit an obstacle? Today we look at five essential tools for you to use to stay committed to accomplishing your goals. With these tools, you can open the door to success!

What is a reflexive no? Why does it prevent us from moving forward? We are quick to say no to some opportunities. We may think of them as having no value to us. However, that quick decision can lead to missing out on something amazing. How can we stop this reaction and spend more time thinking about what we are disagreeing to do. This episode explains why we should stop the reflexive no and start saying yes to more.
We often have the mindset that when we make a mistake, we should be critical. Right after it happens, we come down hard on ourselves. Maybe someone gives us advice to better respond to a situation that has already passed. Both can keep us dwelling on what happened. What is the best way to approach dealing with criticism to reach your best potential? In this episode, I discuss how to continue to have an UNSTOPPABLE life.
Doubt holds us back from an unstoppable life. It speaks loudly in our self-talk, what we imagine others will say, and what others actually do say to us.
In today’s episode, I’ll discuss how to become more aware of doubt and actually bypass it through asking different questions. I’ll share the tool of “I” statements with examples on how to use them and where they can take you. All to create more peace, freedom and fulfillment.
Please share this episode with your friends. . . we all will benefit from more peace, freedom and fulfillment.
At the ACE conference, Dr. Errin Weisman gave a talk titled “Coming Back Better” that took the audience on a journey of laughing, crying, and connecting with her story. Here in the podcast, she shares the benefits of self-care, taking a break, and coming back even better.
In this episode you will hear her compassion, humor, and deep passion to help others who are struggling. She also shares resources for recovery. Find out more about Errin and the Burnout to Badass program at https://www.burntouttobadass.com/
Clear & focused physicians change the world - Errin is an example of this.
This episode challenges (on purpose) what many people think determines their quality of life. It’s not the decisions made. . . it’s what comes before that. We’ll explore it, along with how to do better. . . to help us move farther along the path to an Unstoppable Life.

Why do we keep repeating the same old story?
Today’s episode is all about the story we tell ourselves and others that starts with “I’m the kind of person who. . .” We’ll explore how this keeps us stuck, and what it takes to break free. Freedom and fulfillment are on the other side, and both are waiting for you.
Overly focused on a “All of Nothing'' life can keep you in a rut.
It’s hard to see all of the opportunities around you when you are focused on what you can and can’t do. “I need more (fill in the blank) and until I complete it, I can’t do X, Y, or Z”. More is available to you, and it all definitely requires more than two choices.
In this episode we discuss how all or nothing thinking shows up and is holding you back from enjoying life. When you give yourself more choices, your life experience changes. This episode will show you how.
With the beginning of Spring renewal comes reflection and a look toward the future. Where are we and how did we get there? Today we are exploring the internal landscape of our lives. Why do we do the things we do? Why don't we do the things we want to do? Why do we feel the way we do and how to do better, or at least how to stop doing some of the things that cause pain? Maybe getting it all wrong leads to working towards a better life for ourselves (smile).

In this episode we will build off of last week - sharing more of what you may not see or know when it comes to starting again. There is a reason that resolutions don’t work for many people - there is too much to overcome to see even the smallest results for all of your effort. However, equipped with this behind the scenes information, and a lot of compassion and grace, you can go farther and faster on your journey to start again.
I’m excited to see where starting again takes all of us this year. There is so much within you waiting to be released. . .and that’s what creates an unstoppable life.
Women Physicians - you really can renew your life and career in a warm and supportive environment. Join us for the Authenticity, Courage & Empowerment Conference for Women Physicians. We are gathering April 28 - May 1st in beautiful San Antonio, Texas. Registration and information is at AuthenticPhysicians.com
Rather than doing a year in review episode or goal setting for 2022, today we are talking about starting again. The purpose is to become a better version of you. . . to experience more fulfillment and freedom in your life.
The journey of starting again isn't easy and it doesn't always feel good at the moment. So today’s episode is part 1 - 5 tips to help guide your way. . .to go farther with more ease.
Here’s to starting again my friends & to a joyous new year.
We often say we are going home for the holidays referring to a physical space with others. This episode invites you to think differently, and look at being home as a state of mind. Finding your way home is today’s episode - the place inside where you engage your senses and experience peace and fulfillment. We’ll cover what being home truly means, and how you can get there too. Finding your way home will help you lead a more extraordinary life.
Merry Christmas and happy holidays.
Back in June I had a fantastic idea to run a marathon. (Fantastic might not be the most accurate word. . . smile) It was something I’d been thinking about for years, and it was finally time to take the challenge.
Today’s episode is a before & after with Craig, who joined me on this adventure. We share what we thought it would be like, what it actually was like, and some surprising take-aways that apply to every aspect of life. It was a joy to record this episode - we hope it brings you joy.
For women physicians - grow your community of support to renew your life & your career. The Authenticity, Courage & Empowerment Conference is just around the corner. Join us in San Antonio - all the details are at www.AuthenticPhysicians.com
There is a lot of magical thinking out there that someday when we've paid our dues we will earn our freedom. There is no magic. You've already paid your dues. It's time to simplify and reclaim your well being.
When you refuse to accept what is handed to you and you're willing to invest in a solution, you create your own freedom. There is always a price to pay whether it's a financial, emotional, or physical one. Today, I share some of the prices Craig and I have paid to get our freedom, and how you can find yours too.

In the past few episodes, we have talked about setting yourself up for a deeper life experience. Today’s episode is on two gifts you can give yourself this holiday season. . .and in 2022. Both of these may come as a surprise, as they have not been a focal point in prior episodes. Both will help you experience more time, energy and joy.
Give yourself plenty of gifts this season that will nurture your mind, body and spirit. (And start with these two - smile.)
All women physicians who are frustrated, feel alone, or depleted - the Authenticity, Courage & Empowerment Conference is for you. Check it out at AuthenticPhysicians.com.
From now until the end of the year, we all will be surrounded by holiday busyness. It can be magical & joyous. . .and stressful & depleting.
Today's podcast episode will give you 4 ingredients (ways and how-to’s) to nourish yourself through the holidays…to create more purpose and fulfillment this season and in your life ahead.
So often as high achievers we put others first. . .and live on the crumbs left-over. We give ourselves the minimum and expect the maximum in performance. . . and then wonder why it breaks down. Smile.
Today’s podcast is all about exploring the concept of living on the leftovers - why we do it, what it takes to change, and what our life can look like when we actually plan & prioritize ourselves.
An unstoppable life doesn’t magically happen. . .it is the result of curating how we think, how we plan & prioritize, and consistently following through. It’s waiting for you.

Shame, guilt, and anger. . .to name a few. . .are all part of the “normal” human experience. And it weighs us down tremendously.
Today’s podcast episode is all about creating a clean slate. Simply described, it’s putting down the frustrations, tender points, and unresolved issues, so that we can be open to life and present in the moment. This is what invites calm and peace into your day. This is what creates clarity & focus.
Creating a clean slate - and keeping it clean - is your ticket to freedom. I’ll walk you through how to create one, and all the benefits you’ll receive from using it.
The Authenticity, Courage & Empowerment Conference is where Women Physicians will learn this and so much more. Join us in San Antonio for a unique experience that will renew your life & career. AuthenticPhysicians.com - learn more & register.
A lot of people want to experience warmth and openness in this world. Except, too often we put up blocks to protect ourselves. It’s normal human behavior. Today’s episode is about doing just the opposite - staying open. I’ll walk you through reconnecting with the times that you’ve felt open, free, safe, and connected. Then show you how to create more of those moments. This is what leads to more depth, meaning and purpose in life.

When we grow and push ourselves to start a new activity, career, or adventure, the tender points come out. We are talking about real emotion - sadness, not enoughness, anger or disappointment. . .stuff that’s been tucked away for years. Often, tender points are viewed as negative and something to be avoided. However, there’s another way of viewing these.
In this episode, we’ll go into more detail about what tender points are and why they show up. We’ll also look at how these just may be beautiful gifts for your life and the exact direction for you to grow.
Tender points - we all have them, and they are the exact path towards an unstoppable life.

Chances are you’ve considered yourself an imposter in some aspect of your work - you haven’t learned enough, practiced enough, or obtained all the degrees available. Sound familiar? You aren’t alone.
Today’s podcast episode will take you on a new adventure. We are exploring imposter syndrome in a way you likely haven’t heard before. . .and then getting clear on the real imposter. This episode may change everything for you - how you see yourself, your work, and your contributions to others.
Creating an unstoppable life is easier when you see yourself for who you really are - someone with tremendous gifts that change lives for the better.
Certainty - it’s something all humans want. Especially humans who are taking risks to do things they’ve never done before. The need for certainty keeps us focused on fear, doubt and uncertainty.
Today’s episode offers you another definition of certainty - and the only certainty that you can rely on - internal certainty. Being certain of yourself that you are thoughtful, that you will fall and get back up, and that you will always follow through. This certainty will get you anywhere you want to go. . .and show you that you have everything you need.
Becoming more certain is absolutely possible and easier than you think. Enjoy this episode and the fulfillment that comes from creating an unstoppable life.

Contribution is easily defined as giving. However, it is so much more. Today’s episode explores the depth that contribution brings to both our lives and the lives of others.
This episode will walk you through the following: giving, understanding the emotional return (or cost) of your contribution, and the alignment of giving with your core values. We’ll take it one step farther and explore how your contributions impact others - it’s not always what you think or you intend.
A general practice of high achievers is to give until you have nothing left. This episode will help you re-think what you do and how you do it. . .all with the goal of creating more freedom and fulfillment for yourself and others.

We all have gaps in many areas of our life - the space between what is and what should be. Gaps invite judgment, shame and a whole lot of pain. They keep us spinning around and stuck. And we spend a lot of time fighting to get out, while simultaneously holding on to what got us there.
Gaps are such a normal part of the human experience. Most of us have no idea that we are in them, and have no idea the amount of suffering and pain they cause. Today’s episode will help you identify where you are stuck in a gap, see the self-created pain that exists there and show you the steps to break free. All so that you can create an unstoppable life.

Today we are talking about the concept of modifiers - words that high achievers add on in conversation to create a “more accurate description” of effort or accomplishment. You will hear what modifiers sound like, and see what they really create for you and the person you are talking with.
Identifying and shedding the modifiers in your life will take you closer to living an unstoppable life.

It’s been a rough year my friends. . .and this year was supposed to be different. There are many things happening around us and through us creating negative emotion. I’ve been coaching a lot on feeling better. . .and one pattern of high achievers is clear - denial.
Today’s episode covers how denial shows up, and a process you can use to walk through it. When you catch on to how your mind works, and the methods of distraction, you break free from feeling stuck. Create a new experience for yourself in tough times (and all times) - this episode will show you how to calm your mind and reclaim your time & energy.

So many (of us) high achievers fall into the trap of believing that we need one more thing or need the next thing to experience happiness or fulfillment. Or we believe we need something outside of us to have more freedom.
But what if that’s simply not true?
Need creates scarcity. Need keeps us from seeing what we have or how far we’ve come. Today’s podcast episode looks at the word ‘need’ from a new perspective, and challenges you to remove this word from your vocabulary.
All to create a life that is truly unstoppable.

There are many ways to grow in life. Today, we are talking about one of the best ways - through creating and working on a stretch goal.
A stretch goal is anything you don’t have the capability of doing now or in the foreseeable future. In order to accomplish it, you will have to evolve. This episode walks you through how and why stretch goals add so much value to your life.

One powerful choice can change your life.
This episode is all about a choice that most people didn’t know they could make - the choice to belong. We’ll cover all the stuff that keeps high achievers stuck and isolated from others. And then we’ll talk about all the reasons to choose to belong.
Your quality of life is affected by your belief in belonging. The more places you allow yourself to belong, the more you will feel like you are home no matter where you are at or who you are with. Choose to see yourself as belonging and your life will change.

In the past couple of episodes, I've discussed the ways our mind tricks us into thinking we're failures, or shows us that we have no reason for celebration. It’s easy for the high achiever to get stuck, ignore progress, and focus on what hasn’t been done.
Instead of celebrating only tangible results and major victories, we can learn to be proud of ourselves without doing anything more.
Today I share three prompts that I use with my clients. . . to help them shift how they see themselves and measure their growth. You can use these same prompts in the same way. In fact, your responses to these prompts will both surprise you, and help you experience more freedom and fulfillment.

A little failure can easily become a massive amount of failure in our mind. It occurs for so many of us - a small perceived failure in one area turns into failing in every area. Before we know it, all we see is failure, and all we do is beat ourselves up. It steals our hope and our energy. This episode covers how it happens and what you can do about it - to reclaim your time, your energy, and your passion for creating an unstoppable life.

Being seen. . .it’s one of the greatest fears for many high achievers. Truly being seen for all that you are AND all that you are not. Being seen brings out fear of judgment and leads to playing very small in life.
Today’s episode explores being seen - why it’s easier not to be, where the judgment is really coming from, and how you can create your own freedom. It’s all an essential part of an unstoppable life.

Loneliness. . .it’s so common to experience and rare to talk about. Especially for high achievers. (Smile) It actually has a lot to teach us.
In this podcast episode, I’m going to dissect loneliness in a way you likely haven’t heard before. Then we’ll cover a new way of thinking about yourself and the step ahead to lead a whole life. . .and unstoppable life.

Too often we hold ourselves to an impossible double standard. We speak to ourselves cruelly when we make a mistake, which we would never do to a loved one. We justify it and believe it is essential. Except. . . there’s a reason we don’t speak to others in this manner - it causes harm.
This episode of Create an Unstoppable Life walks you through the process of identifying this painful double standard in your life and breaking up with it. You’ll learn new (and inspiring) ways of talking to yourself. . .so that you can experience more fulfillment and freedom.

How many excuses have you made for not doing something you really want to do? We often tell ourselves things like, 'it's too soon', 'I'm not ready', or 'I'm too busy'.

There are words in the English language that take us directly to guilt and shame. They are powerful and punitive.

Now more than ever we need belief in what we cannot see. . . belief in ourselves and our ability to create a future we are proud of.
Today's podcast episode is all about creating deep belief called conviction. The kind of belief that is so strongly held it becomes your identity.
This episode will help you visualize what your conviction creates, plant the seed of belief, and outline all the components to nurture and grow that belief. This is your pattern to create conviction for any area of your life. . .to truly live an unstoppable life.
In the corner. . .feeling alone and stuck. For high achievers we work hard, sometimes too hard, trying to make something work that simply isn't (and won't). Today's concept is all about identifying where you might be stuck in guilt and shame, and the process to free yourself and recover your self-worth.
So often we tell ourselves that it is wrong to want more. "I should be happy. . . I have more than others. . ." and lots of other stuff comes to mind that leads to guilt & shame. It keeps us playing small and safe.
But. . .what if wanting more is how we find our freedom? And create freedom for others?
This podcast episode explores wanting to more - what keeps us from doing it, how to allow ourselves to want again, and what that opens up in life.
It turns out, when we reach for more in our life, we have more to give to others. And that is what creates an Unstoppable Life.
Code blue in room 100.
My heart races, the nausea comes.
We all have natural tendencies. . .things we do because it is easy or automatic. Things we do without thinking about it because it's just. . . natural.
Our mind does the same thing. We have natural tendency thinking. It's automatic. . .meaning our mind automatically delivers it. . .especially during times of stress or uncertainty. Our mind in an instant fills up with doubt, fear, uncertainty. . .and the worst case scenario.
Natural tendency thinking is where my mind goes when I hear the code blue announcement. . .and why my heart races.
It's easy to believe that natural tendency thinking is who we are. Today's episode will challenge that. . . and show how this thinking is simply part of the human experience. And how it doesn't need to define your life experience.
An unstoppable life includes identifying your natural tendency thinking every time it comes up, and not letting it alter your path.
All of us want to make the 'right' decision every time. (Smile) Except. . .we are human. And often when growing our life, we don't have a framework that supports this growth.

Chances are you are working on a better version of you. . .this podcast will walk you through the steps of shedding outdated beliefs that are ingrained in your identity, so that you can cultivate new beliefs to create the life you want. It all starts with belief and is fueled by belief. . .you can create this and it's an honor to show you how.
Welcome back - this episode is designed to simplify it all and show you the only thing that matters. . .the only thing that is necessary to Create an Unstoppable. It's so simple and complex. . . and it is a learned behavior. (Smile)
There are some common patterns that occur within high achievers after starting coaching. . .one of them is what awareness of thinking brings.
This episode will explore what follows awareness. . .and how we can choose to think differently about it, and about ourselves.
Creating an Unstoppable Life begins with all the opportunities that awareness brings.
How many times have you been told (or told yourself) that you just need to slow down or rest? Rest may help you to continue to tolerate your life. . .but nothing changes. You don't get closer to answering the calling for your life.
This short episode explores why rest is not the answer for creating an unstoppable life. We'll cover what the answers ARE, and how you can apply them.
Your calling is waiting. . .the life of fulfillment and freedom is waiting for you to create it. . .and this episode is inspiration to keep going.

This is by far the most powerful concept and tool that I've created. The 17 minutes you invest in listening has the capacity to change today and every day going forward. This episode will clearly show you a mind pattern or habit for many high achievers - bargaining - the debate in our mind that includes trading some immediate pleasure or gratification for our bigger goals. We'll cover a tool you can use in the moment to address the bargaining. We'll also reach farther and look at how to move bargaining out of your internal life for good. So glad you are here.
Ready for a new way to look at your life? Some new tools for decision making? Today we are exploring value, and shifting thinking to weighing value with cost.

So many things want our attention - have you noticed? (Smile) This episode we will explore it in more detail - how answering derails us from growing life and working on our higher callings.

Many of you have been challenged by the concept of here being better. . . I hear you. This episode we are diving deeper. . . painting a picture with more detail. . . speaking to your heart and challenging all of the beliefs/evidence that keeps you stuck. So much love for both the struggle and YOUR capacity to move forward. And a shout-out to Brave Enough Conference attendees!
Ahhhh...the trap of believing that wherever we are going will be better than where we are at. Except, it usually doesn't work out that way. The elusive 'there' looks a lot like here. Today's episode is all about how 'Here' is better - how to think about it this way and to work through the discomfort that comes up. You can start living the life you want today, without anything around you changing. . . because it's all about adjusting your mindset. That's freedom - phenomenal freedom. So glad you are here!
Welcome to this episode. Today we are covering entitled thinking and what it leads to. It's easy to believe that we do not have entitled thinking. . . but look deeper.

Uncovering this and clearing it out of your life will completely change your life experience - and further you down the road to phenomenal. So glad you are here!
What's more difficult for you - accepting a complement or criticism? For many high achievers, it's accepting the complement. Our mind comes up with all the reasons the complement is invalid.

We'll also explore why it's necessary to traverse this path of discomfort, and how to get started. All part of the process to create a phenomenal life. So glad you are here!
Ohhhhh. . .it's so easy to say we don't know, we have to figure it out, we have to 'look into it' before making any changes to grow our life.

It's only a matter of where you want to go next, and I'll show you how.
The mind of an over-achiever and over-thinker is complicated at times. . .you may have noticed. (Smile) In today's episode we'll explore how a simple question, asking how, can lead to frustration and quitting. When I ask the question of how to accomplish something, I invite in doubt and uncertainty. .. followed by frustration and quitting. Today's episode will explore this concept in more detail, help you recognize your own thought traps, and provide examples of thinking differently. All with the goal of creating a more phenomenal life.
There is so much we can learn in any situation. I've been working with medical students recently who have taught me a tremendous amount. . .and today is an opportunity to share it with you.
It's risky to be imperfect - to answer incorrectly or incompletely. . . it can bring about shame, embarrassment, or downright humiliation. Today we will look at it in more detail . . .and discuss ways for you to see the reward on the other side of risk. Reward personally and professionally when you give yourself the freedom to be imperfect and learn, at any time in your life and profession.
Many thanks to the students who have worked with me and inspired this episode.
It's time to celebrate the 1 year anniversary of this podcast - thank you for being here. . . joining this journey of wanting more and doing the work to get it. Today we celebrate!

We'll discuss identifying your first responders, and a process to optimize your thinking and create more phenomenal.
Happy 1 year. . . so thankful for you.
Each week in the podcast we discuss new or different frameworks to think about your thinking. Today we are looking at guiding life through the value we give and receive. It's all with the goal of creating more phenomenal in your life. . . intentionally and sustainably.
Money. One word can bring out so much emotion in many of us. We'll explore the relationship with money - what it is, and what it can be. Growing life includes optimizing the mindset around money and getting rid of the beliefs and practices that do not serve us well.
Winning with money, winning in life, is all about mindset.
Regardless of profession or education, we are always selling. Especially as a coach, and even as a doctor, I am selling all the time. . . and this episode looks at what that means. I invite you to challenge your mind to see what and how you sell in your life. And then to see if that matches with what you are striving for. This episode opens a door into a new way of thinking about your thinking, and creating a life that you love.
Home - that place of flourishing and belonging. Today we are exploring coming home to ourselves in mind, body and spirit. Home - the place where you are enough, in fact more than enough. It's a magical place to be. Home is accessible at any time and in any situation - I'll show you how.
I help professional women come home to themselves through coaching. When you are ready to truly find peace and fulfillment, message me on the Facebook page Dena George MD Coaching.
It's time to look at what creates worthiness in our lives - the rules around it, the ability to achieve it, and the rating of others as worthy or not. This is something that affects every relationship in our life - and most affects the relationship we have with ourselves. Join me and see what you think.
In this episode we are going to explore how mood changes can feel like we are on an escalator . . . sometimes a very unwanted escalator. We'll talk about what brings our mood up, and how to identify the components to re-create it in the future. We'll also explore how to identify negative mood shifts early on, and then redirecting our power. Escalators are a normal part of life. What's not normal, and what creates a phenomenal life, is optimizing how/when we use them.
Ever find yourself in the midst of an active mind that's engaged in negative thoughts? (Lots of them.) Want redirect the energy somewhere else. . . like someplace useful? Then this episode is for you! Today we are talking about transition words - a simple word or two to interrupt the story in our mind with an equal and opposite amount of doubt. Specifically, doubting the doubt, doubting the uncertainty, and doubting that any fear is real. Words that you can use to learn more about your mind, and move farther along your journey to a phenomenal life.
There's a game we play as adults - we want something, get overwhelmed, hide from it, then start looking for it again. It's a cycle that leads to quitting. Today we are exploring what happens, why it happens, and how you can take back control and stay focused on your calling. Letting go of the hide and seek mentality is what moves your life (and the life of others) to phenomenal.
Ever notice that your mind goes off track. . . wanders into a place of doubt or overwhelm? Today's episode on re-calibration provides a framework to shift back into your highest self - the highest level of thinking from a place of wisdom. We'll cover noticing when we're out of alignment, how to set a personal standard of who we know we can be or want to be, and then how to shift from one to the other. All possible and intended to help your journey to a phenomenal life be more linear and fulfilling.
Today we are exploring invitations - requests to others to join our path or journey, or to be part of theirs. Sharing an invitation opens up doubt of both where we are at and going. It can bring out uncertainty of how someone will respond, and even invite in some self-criticism when the answer is no. Except . . . none of it has to be this way. We'll explore what holds us back from sharing and inviting, and how to move forward. Because offering invitations freely moves us farther along the path to a phenomenal life.
Even superheroes have weaknesses. . . and we humans are no different. Today we are looking at what creates weakness within us, and how to learn and grow from it. First to understand what happens when our kryptonite appears, and then go deeper and diffuse or extinguish it over time. That's what moves life from good to phenomenal.
Creating a phenomenal life requires taking the road less traveled. The one of personal responsibility and accountability, specifically looking at how we create our problems. From there, we can understand both the problem and ourselves more deeply, leading to amazing and sustainable solutions. This episode is all about that path. Create something more in your life - for your life. This episode will help you.

One simple question has the power to change your mindset and change your life. This episode will show you many ways to use this question to grow your life. . . and ways that I'm applying it in my life right now. Do less, be more, live phenomenally and free. It's all available to you.
Do you find yourself holding back? Waiting for someone else to show up first, before allowing your real or true self to come out? You aren't alone. . . in fact I think most of us do this. Growing our lives however requires more. It means moving past discomfort, risking vulnerability, and challenging ourselves to put into action what we've only been thinking about. You can do it too.
It's the perfect time of year to clear out the outdated, unhelpful, and limiting beliefs from our minds. This episode on Spring Renewal will help you do just that. . .and cultivate new beliefs for your journey to a phenomenal life.
So often we think there is only one right answer for our lives. . . to reach our dreams. . . to do something new or different. Similar to taking a multiple choice test with only one right answer. This episode will nudge you to see how any answer can be the right one. And evaluating your results will lead you to make the next 'right' choice in your journey to a phenomenal life. There's only question that you need the right answer to - and I'll share the question and answer choices in this episode.

It's time to move on to a new topic - today it is all about self-talk. Specifically, negative self-talk or the inner critic. We'll look at how it shows up for ALL of us, what it holds us back from, and ways to re-wire the mind. All to move life from good to phenomenal.
Are you ready to move forward? To move from doubt to confidence? Then this podcast episode is for you!
Today we are covering how sneaky and subtle our mind can introduce doubt. How we believe it, and consider this our wisdom and intuition. It's not. . .and I'll show you why. Doubt is part of the path to our dreams, but it's never the determinant of what is possible.

A few episodes ago we looked ahead to the future. It's now time to look in the past and how it gets in the way of us moving forward. Today is not only looking at the past, but letting go of how we think it was supposed to be. There's emotional freedom waiting when we do this.

Our minds are funny. . .what thoughts are brought up and where our attention is directed. Today we talk about shifting away from the past and present, and opening the door to the future. We'll review roadblocks that may come up, and start to explore the possibilities of what's available for your future.
We are asked all the time if we're satisfied with the service or product we've received. Today's podcast asks this question of you - about you. Are you satisfied with you? We'll explore in more detail what satisfied means. . . and defining or creating it for yourself.
It's amazing how a 3 letter word can invite in reflection that leads to clarity. Today's episode goes through the process of living from our values and beliefs as defined by our 'Why'. I'll share the 'Why' of this podcast and my life as well. It's a fresh way to start the holiday season.

This is not your average topic, and in fact may come as a surprise. Good is what many people strive for. . . good is enough. Today we are exploring how good can be a hindrance, and hold us back from experiencing great. . . and even phenomenal.
It's something that we all 'should' know how to do - but very few of us do it, and do it well. Feel that is. . . really feel what we feel, and know where it comes from. We'll explore this in more detail in today's podcast. So glad you are here!
