 Join me in this episode of SO...HERE'S THE DEAL podcast as we explore the importance of understanding our limitations. As Clint Eastwood famously said, "A man's gotta know his limitations." We all have things that we're good at and things that we're not so good at, and that's okay. 

In this episode, I discuss the benefits of recognizing our strengths and weaknesses, setting realistic goals, and knowing when to ask for help. I also share tips on how to be self-aware and honest about what we can and cannot do, and why it's crucial to be adaptable and willing to learn new things. 

This episode will show you how knowing your limitations is essential for personal and professional growth, and give you the tools you need to achieve success in a healthy and sustainable way.

S01E02 | MENTAL HEALTH & THE BENEFITS OF COUNSELING
Series Episode 006

In this episode I discuss a common emotional phenomenon that goes by many names but that I refer to as "Red Light Syndrome".  Born from an experience I had in my early 20's at a music recording studio I was sidelined by this powerful and often paralyzing emotional response to stress.  Listen as I walk you through my experience and the key takeaway from it that I learned.  Be sure to store this little nugget away and keep it in the back of your mind for later when I come back to revisit this topic in future episodes.

So don't forget to follow the show so that you are notified when new episodes drop so you can stay up to date on this journey!  And don't forget to check out my website for additional content, blogs, news and upcoming events.

S01E03 | MENTAL HEALTH & THE BENEFITS OF COUNSELING
Series Episode 007

Thanks to a Readers Digest article I read when I was a kid, I not only didn't learn how to deal with my anxiety during my parent's divorce but also believed all "self-help" related books, articles, whatever was complete bullshit.  (Listen to the PSYCHOBABBLE BULLSHIT episode for more on that!) 

In this episode, I discuss the advice in that article that I call "The Ringing Telephone Advice" and how serious my anxiety levels would get while going through my parent's divorce. 

Buckle up . .. .this one gets a little bumpy!
