    Ep 108: Is Fear Your Puppet Master?
    Jan 28 2025
    Fear is interesting. We all have it and the mechanism will never go away as long as we are human beings. It can paralyze us but it is part of what makes us human. It serves a purpose but it often oversteps its role. Therefore, understanding the fear mechanism and how it manipulates our daily thoughts and behavior is critical if we truly want to grow into the highest versions of ourselves. In this episode, we scratch the surface by unpacking the fear mechanism and awareness of our relationship to it. Limiting the full expression of ourselves Learning from our kids Unconsciously empowering our fear by using control Fear of not being loved Shifting relationship to fear Being clear on your intention Projecting fear onto kids and others Fear is a manipulative driver of behavior Awareness of how we’re being and choosing from there Hurt people hurt people ------------------------- CONNECT WITH JEFF: Website: https://jeffmillercoaching.com/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jeffmillercoaching/ IG: @jeffmillercoaching FB: https://www.facebook.com/jeff.miller.7965 Books: https://www.amazon.com/author/jeffmillercoaching CONNECT WITH TATSU: Website: https://tatsuyafushimi.com LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/tatsuyafushimi/ IG: @tatsuyafushimi FB: https://www.facebook.com/tatsuya.fushimi.9/ Books: https://www.amazon.com/author/tatsuyafushimi

  • Ep 107: Choose Your Core Beliefs Wisely

    Ep 107: Choose Your Core Beliefs Wisely
    Jan 21 2025
    Our upbringing and education shaped our core beliefs from an early age. Core beliefs profoundly influence our decision-making, whether the decision is seemingly life-changing or trivial. Therefore, awareness of our core beliefs is of utmost importance. At the same time, understanding that we can change our core beliefs is extremely liberating. However, doing so may be challenging due to fear of losing the identity we created with the old beliefs. In this episode, we discuss the importance of reflecting on our core beliefs and the practice of choosing ones that support the highest version of ourselves. Why is it important to reflect on our core beliefs? Conditioned beliefs Beliefs are just malleable thoughts Weaponizing beliefs Being responsible for what we say and how we say it What evidence do you require to adopt a belief? Integrating cognitive evidence and intuition A lot of beliefs were learned without explicitly being said ------------------------- CONNECT WITH JEFF: Website: https://jeffmillercoaching.com/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jeffmillercoaching/ IG: @jeffmillercoaching FB: https://www.facebook.com/jeff.miller.7965 Books: https://www.amazon.com/author/jeffmillercoaching CONNECT WITH TATSU: Website: https://tatsuyafushimi.com LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/tatsuyafushimi/ IG: @tatsuyafushimi FB: https://www.facebook.com/tatsuya.fushimi.9/ Books: https://www.amazon.com/author/tatsuyafushimi

    Ep 106: Sabotaging Creativity
    Jan 14 2025
    Creativity may be one of the most important yet underemphasized practices on which to focus energy. It can help us grow into the highest versions of ourselves and enhance all aspects of our lives. Unfortunately, many of us block our natural creative energy with external distractions and cling to conditioned beliefs that no longer serve our highest potential. Before jumping into creative pursuits, it can be powerful to understand our current relationship with creativity and redefine a more empowering foundation for this relationship in the future. In this episode, we discuss the importance of creativity and foundational blocks, both internal and external. Your relationship with creativity Feminine and masculine energy Logical vs. abstract thinking Balancing planned vs. not planned Being intentional about allowing spontaneity Creative energy stifled by distractions Creativity doesn’t necessarily produce direct results Sharing authentically Playing for creative expression itself vs. the outcome of expression Tapping into creativity will create a different experience Links mentioned: The Creative Act: A Way Of Being by Rick Rubin https://www.amazon.com/Creative-Act-Way-Being/dp/0593652886/ ------------------------- CONNECT WITH JEFF: Website: https://jeffmillercoaching.com/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jeffmillercoaching/ IG: @jeffmillercoaching FB: https://www.facebook.com/jeff.miller.7965 Books: https://www.amazon.com/author/jeffmillercoaching CONNECT WITH TATSU: Website: https://tatsuyafushimi.com LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/tatsuyafushimi/ IG: @tatsuyafushimi FB: https://www.facebook.com/tatsuya.fushimi.9/ Books: https://www.amazon.com/author/tatsuyafushimi

  • Ep 105: What Can You Actually Control?

    Ep 105: What Can You Actually Control?
    Jan 7 2025
    We are generally conditioned by society to focus on outcomes, achievements, winning, etc. A major issue with this mindset is how we show up along the way to the finish line and, of course, when we “fail”. Hyper-focus on the outcome tends to create hyper-focus on controlling everyone and everything imaginable along the way. This can cause many problems including stress, misunderstanding, judgment, disappointment, and resentment. In this episode, we discuss the ego’s controlling tendency and the delicate balance between control and faith. Trying to control an outcome What do I realistically have control of? Criticizing others as an avoidance strategy Subconscious motives underlying control Control and faith Life is a faith game Our controlling nature leads to stress and judgment Short-term wins with the kids Trying to control others affects your mood Improving communication and understanding others Being aware of what serves you and how you want to show up ------------------------- CONNECT WITH JEFF: Website: https://jeffmillercoaching.com/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jeffmillercoaching/ IG: @jeffmillercoaching FB: https://www.facebook.com/jeff.miller.7965 Books: https://www.amazon.com/author/jeffmillercoaching CONNECT WITH TATSU: Website: https://tatsuyafushimi.com LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/tatsuyafushimi/ IG: @tatsuyafushimi FB: https://www.facebook.com/tatsuya.fushimi.9/ Books: https://www.amazon.com/author/tatsuyafushimi

    Ep 104: Focus Is Natural
    Dec 31 2024
    With the progress of technology, we currently have more access to information and possibilities than ever in human history. However, this access can also work against us mentally, emotionally, and physically. How distracted are you daily from moment to moment? How is the quality of your focus and attention with the things that you do? If you are often distracted, what fear is at the root of your distraction? In this episode, we discuss nuances around our relationship to focus. Awareness of distractions Quality of how you show up Distinction and balance of forced focus vs. inspired focus Aligning larger commitments with the focus on specific actions Practicing doing focus Taking time to quiet the mind when distracted Fear is in the way of being focused Priority of how you show up vs. the goal or task ------------------------- CONNECT WITH JEFF: Website: https://jeffmillercoaching.com/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jeffmillercoaching/ IG: @jeffmillercoaching FB: https://www.facebook.com/jeff.miller.7965 Books: https://www.amazon.com/author/jeffmillercoaching CONNECT WITH TATSU: Website: https://tatsuyafushimi.com LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/tatsuyafushimi/ IG: @tatsuyafushimi FB: https://www.facebook.com/tatsuya.fushimi.9/ Books: https://www.amazon.com/author/tatsuyafushimi

    Ep 103: Leveling Up On Another Level
    Dec 24 2024
    What does leveling up look like for you? Improving performance in our fitness, job, business, or romantic relationships is a common goal we are familiar with. But how often do we intentionally level up how we see the world? More specifically, how frequently do we redefine the words we use, question our existing beliefs, or integrate our ego and intuition? Engaging in leveling up our broader picture of life supports success across all areas of our lives, whereas traditional goal setting intends to level up a specific area of life. In this episode, we look at the bigger picture of leveling up in service of the highest integrated version of ourselves. Who you become on your journey toward goals How are we feeling about all areas of our life? What does leveling up mean and look like for you? Leveling up the definitions of the words we use Distinguishing ego from intuition Question everything, especially existing beliefs Who we are now vs. who we want to be Balancing logical thinking and dreaming Shifting from head to heart and intuition ------------------------- CONNECT WITH JEFF: Website: https://jeffmillercoaching.com/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jeffmillercoaching/ IG: @jeffmillercoaching FB: https://www.facebook.com/jeff.miller.7965 Books: https://www.amazon.com/author/jeffmillercoaching CONNECT WITH TATSU: Website: https://tatsuyafushimi.com LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/tatsuyafushimi/ IG: @tatsuyafushimi FB: https://www.facebook.com/tatsuya.fushimi.9/ Books: https://www.amazon.com/author/tatsuyafushimi

    Ep 102: So You Feel Like An Imposter?
    Dec 17 2024
    Imposter syndrome is like an annoying head cold that periodically appears in all of us. It often holds us back from becoming the highest versions of ourselves. Fear-based messaging throughout society since our childhood is at the root of it. We weren’t usually rewarded for taking risks, being authentic, and following our hearts. Rather, we were often rewarded for good behavior and conformity and shamed otherwise. What if imposter syndrome was just an indicator for us to check alignment with what and how we are pursuing as a goal? In this episode, we discuss the basic workings of imposter syndrome and perspectives on shifting our relationship to it. When does imposter syndrome show up? Comparison vs. judgment Fake it till you make it From understanding to embodiment Misalignment adds to feelings of being an imposter Importance of committing to the process Imposter syndrome is inevitable Defense to stay comfortable Consequences aren’t inherently bad Imposter syndrome is an internal indicator ------------------------- CONNECT WITH JEFF: Website: https://jeffmillercoaching.com/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jeffmillercoaching/ IG: @jeffmillercoaching FB: https://www.facebook.com/jeff.miller.7965 Books: https://www.amazon.com/author/jeffmillercoaching CONNECT WITH TATSU: Website: https://tatsuyafushimi.com LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/tatsuyafushimi/ IG: @tatsuyafushimi FB: https://www.facebook.com/tatsuya.fushimi.9/ Books: https://www.amazon.com/author/tatsuyafushimi

    Ep 101: All Things In Moderation
    Dec 10 2024
    Moderation applies to much more than an overindulgence of the things we love to consume. Moderation is a key aspect of being human. It shows up, for example, in activity vs. recovery, saving vs. spending, giving vs. taking, etc. We all have a unique ongoing balance that supports the most and least aligned versions of ourselves. However, conditioned beliefs often stimulate confusion, including our comparison with society’s standards. So, how do you define moderation? Does this definition need to change? Where in your life are you showing up with too much or not enough of something? In this episode, we explore the importance of finding this balance within. Gauging moderation for yourself Intentionally moderating work vs. rest Self-awareness of physical and energetic signs Separating self-judgments from physical and energetic signs The automatic “I’m good” answer Everyone’s moderation is different Comparison with society’s standards From honesty to making aligned choices Moderation is an ongoing process Is your definition of moderation supporting you? ------------------------- CONNECT WITH JEFF: Website: https://jeffmillercoaching.com/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jeffmillercoaching/ IG: @jeffmillercoaching FB: https://www.facebook.com/jeff.miller.7965 Books: https://www.amazon.com/author/jeffmillercoaching CONNECT WITH TATSU: Website: https://tatsuyafushimi.com LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/tatsuyafushimi/ IG: @tatsuyafushimi FB: https://www.facebook.com/tatsuya.fushimi.9/ Books: https://www.amazon.com/author/tatsuyafushimi
