    In this episode, award-winning Harvard-educated journalist and researcher Jenny Wallace is here to discuss “toxic achievement” and the toxic pressure that makes you feel that no matter what you do or what level of success you achieve, it will never be enough. Lees meer

    You feel toxic pressure at work, and you feel toxic pressure at home. Jenny Wallace, who just completed a major research study with over 6,000 kids and their parents, is here to tell you this unhealthy pressure is trickling down to your kids, who are buckling under the never-ending demands to measure up.

    Whether you are sick of spending every weekend racing from one sporting event or club team practice to another, or you are tired of the never-ending video calls that keep you working day and night, one thing is clear: something has to give.

    Your worth is not determined by the things you achieve.

    Jenny Wallace is here with the research and the findings that say all this pressure is backfiring because all anyone really wants is to feel like they matter.

    According to her research, there are seven changes you can make that will boost your kids’ confidence and resilience and get you off this hamster wheel that is leading nowhere.

    If you struggle with work-life balance and feel burned out, the research will empower you to:

    Learn the one question to ask your kid that shows you love them.

    Stop working yourself into the ground to prove your worth.

    Why you are your harshest critic and the simple things you need to do to become your biggest fan.

    Snip the tie between achievement and self-worth.

    Unplug yourself from the stress loop of other people and never get rattled again.

    The 3 things you can do to show people you love that they matter to you.

    Stop beating yourself up for not having the perfect home or getting A’s on every test, and prioritize what really matters instead.

    I want you to get off the hamster wheel and stop being obsessed with achieving, having, and winning.

    I am sitting down with intuitive psychic medium Kim Russo, who is here to share her gift and tell you how you can get in touch with your intuitive gift, too.

    I first learned about Kim from Oprah Winfrey and immediately knew I needed to get her on the talk show I hosted. What happened next changed my entire life.

    When Kim was just a child, she realized she could see people who’d passed away, and nobody else was seeing them. After years of denying it, she decided to lean into her incredible skill. A skill she says you have too.

    If you’ve ever sensed somebody’s with you, you’re right. Kim says we travel with two or three loved ones at all times. Have you ever had that little voice in your head or gut feeling about something? Kim says that your loved ones are trying to guide you.

    This episode is remarkable because you are not only going to learn how Kim tapped into her abilities, but you'll also learn how you can tap into yours.

    Kim has helped MILLIONS tune into their innate intuition by teaching them to quiet their minds and listen to their inner voice to figure out the next step.

    Are you skeptical? I was, too.

    Until she gave me a message from my dead father-in-law. It is the reason I sold my Boston home after 26 years and moved to southern Vermont. She changed my life forever.

    What Kim will teach you is invaluable; you will learn:

    What intuition is—and it’s not crazy woo-woo stuff.

    Why that little voice in your head is actually right—and you need to listen to it.

    The simple but powerful lessons she learned from those who have passed over will make your shoulders relax instantly.

    That every soul on this planet has a purpose, and how to find out what yours is.

    What the brain-heart connection is and how it instantly gives you the information you need right now.

    That you have souls supporting you from the other side, and how to connect with…

    In today’s episode, author and entrepreneur Lorenzo Lewis tells you the amazing story of how he is changing the lives of over 3 million people a year. Lees meer

    His story is so inspiring, and I wanted you to meet Lorenzo because I know he’ll inspire you to think bigger about making a difference in your community or the world at large.

    Lorenzo had no funding, influence, or experience. He just had a simple idea and a very big heart. And that’s all you need to make the world a better place.

    When Lorenzo was born, the odds were already stacked against him: his mother gave birth to him while she was in jail. His father died in prison. He was raised by his aunt and uncle. As a child, he struggled with anger, anxiety, and depression and was labeled a problem.

    You’ll hear about the defining moment when Lorenzo made the decision to turn his life around. He graduated from college and started working in health and human services. That was where, at the age of 24, he had an idea about creating a mental health movement that is now changing millions of lives.

    “The Confess Project” was born.

    Lorenzo’s nonprofit trains barbers and beauticians to be mental health advocates for the men, women, and children who are sitting in their chairs.

    Now 3,000 mental health advocates across the country are changing the lives of over 3 million people a year.

    It’s an absolutely incredible story.

    Today, you will learn:

    The incredible solution Lorenzo thought of to make therapy accessible and easy for underserved and represented communities.

    How to give yourself permission to pursue that big idea.

    The revolutionary Harvard study that explains why you feel so comfortable telling your hairdresser about everything.

    Why you have all the power and tools you need to make a difference.

    How working from home has increased loneliness (and why you feel like you have nobody to talk to).

    The 4 things you can say to someone who is having a bad day (steal this from Lorenzo’s playbook).

    Why now is the right…
