I am so honored and grateful to have the amazing Henry Emmons, MD on the show, sharing his insights on natural mental health.  I wanted to bring Henry on the show because he is a leader when it comes to truly helping people with anxiety and depression. I get questions all the time around medication use for mental health and while it’s important that I not answer those kinds of questions because I’m not a mental health professional, I can bring on experts who have the knowledge to help and support you.

In this solo jam we are going to be talking about the addiction to personal development.  Some of you out there want to consume all the things: the podcasts, the books, the mentors and coaching.  This was me! I was so addicted to the pursuit of personal development that I was actually missing the point.  In this episode I’m going to go into how we identify that and how we start to untangle it so that we can do the work that matters.  

Inside this episode, I share:

• The power of intention and being committed to it
• How constant consumption leads to scattered focus
• That consumption without integration creates frustration
• Getting to know yourself is a more productive path than consumption
• Important work can be accomplished by being, not doing
• The role of breathwork in embracing the concept of presence
• We can improve our lives by making every decision from our most authentic selves
• How to set yourself up for daily “wins”, which will increase happiness
• The benefits of recognizing progress in your journey
