Welcome to Stepping Up To Your Potential – a podcast dedicated to personal growth and development through self-awareness and emotional intelligence! I am SO happy you’re here. See, I believe that humans are loaded with nearly limitless potential — but too often we settle for average. YOU ARE NOT AVERAGE! After all, you’re here and you got here because the idea of actually expressing even a small amount more of the vast potential that is you is one that appeals. So live boldly and step up with me! I’ll admit I haven’t figured everything out quite yet, after all life is a journey rather than a destination, but constantly finding ways to express and expand the potential that I was born with is one of the most profoundly spiritual things I can imagine. Whether your goal is to earn more on the job, create greater success for your business, or embrace all those things you’ve wanted to do but were hesitant to, I welcome you! There are several ways you can keep updated with new insights, challenges and encouragements:
You can fellow and subscribe through any of the social media options listed there, but due to increasingly selective parameters if you join email list that’s the best way to be 100% sure you get notified when a new episode goes live. Also help increase the manifested potential that our fellow humans are capable of by sharing anything you find which in some helped you. This helps me know what you found most useful so that I start giving you more of your looking for! I’d also REALLY appreciate any other love you care to send my way by sharing any posts with your friends.
Secrets and Mysteries
Hello beautiful people! I’m still working on the post that I originally planned to do, but this topic right here is one that has been on my mind. Rather than being pedantic and going in the order that I originally set up so long ago, I’m going to start addressing things as I’m inspired to. The Setup Have you ever heard of Secret Societies and Mystery Schools? Probably, but if I were to ask you what is the difference – could you answer? Succinctly? For this chat, I’m going to focus on the adjectives in those terms – Secret and...

Self-Sabotage … Isn’t Self-Sabotage is something I am extremely familiar with, and something I battle with greater and lesser success seemingly daily. If you’ve ever had issues with this destructive pattern, I’m sharing what I’ve learned on how to uncover the root causes and then share some ideas on what to do once all of that is known. To start with, think about a time when you realized that you had sabotaged a conscious desire. I’ll give you a second to bring to mind an example. … Got it? Alright....
read moreRelaunch Introductions – A slight course correction
I’ve been absent from this podcast for a few years now. In that time, as with most of the world, a lot has happened. In that time, I realized that while I very much wanted to continue the podcast I couldn’t do it in the same way. The concept of stepping up to the potential that I, you, we all have is something that I absolutely believe in. But why am I working to step up? That’s where I realized I have to be completely honest here. Let’s consider this a re-introduction, a re-launch of Stepping Up to Your Potential...

read moreStories Guide Everything
Today I’m going to build on the ideas from the Developing Your Observer Self episode. I talked in that post about reacting the way that we do because of the stories that are going on in our heads. Another, more common way of phrasing this concept is that we react the way that we do because of our interpretation of events and actions. But what guides our interpretation? That would be our underlying story. I’ve found that most people are often completely unaware of just what those stories are, or even that they have them. Some folks...
read moreDeveloping Your Observer Self
I’ve referenced multiple times that I wanted you to pay attention to how you emotionally respond to various things and then evaluate those responses objectively. If you’ve never done that before I’d imagine that was a really challenging task. I know it was for me! I asked that of you without going into too much detail about it at the time because those were the beginning steps for what some call the Inner Observer, or the Observer Self. It’s a cultivated ability in which you can detach some small piece of your...
read moreAsk What, Instead of Why
When it comes to emotional awareness, learning to ask what purpose an action or choice served will yield more useful results than asking why we do what we do. This post explores a bit about the difference between these questions, and takes a look at the emotional responses both types are likely to evoke and how to leverage those responses for our own gain. Subscribe to the podcast on Apple, Google Play, Spotify, Stitcher, YouTube, and more. Like what you hear? Share it and leave a review. It means a lot and I’d really appreciate your...
read moreExploring Emotional Discoveries
My approach to stepping up hinges on building internal emotional intelligence. I’ve said before this takes fortitude, and it’s largely a trial and error kind of thing. I’m sharing what’s worked for me, but there’s no one-size-fits-all approach. The goal is a destination, but the journey to get there is long, varied and highly individual. The kinds of issues that you may be struggling with I may no problem with, and vice versa. That’s ok. Despite there being no set road map, I’ve laid out the path that...

Welcome to Stepping Up To Your Potential! Thank you for joining me as I work to do exactly that. I feel that we are the Divine exploring ourselves, and my job is to express as much of the potential that was granted to me as I'm capable of. This is a soul journey rooted in emotional intelligence and I'd love to share it with you. I am far from a master at this, but growing is exactly the point here. The World needs our light, all of us, in whatever form we are able to bring our best selves forward. I hope you'll join me on this journey of self-discovery. Shine on!
