Are you familiar with the mind-body connection? It's truly fascinating! Your mind and body are connected, and the former has a huge influence on the health and wellbeing of the latter. In today's episode I talk about the mind-body connection, particularly as it relates to the labels we wear on about ourselves.

When was the last time you were triggered by someone or something, and felt really uncomfortable? I had 2 conversations in the past few days that brought up some discomfort in me. One had to do with my money and the other had to do with my weight. It got me thinking - what has made you feel uncomfortable recently and are you willing to do something about it? Today I'm sharing the scenarios where I was triggered and I'm issuing a challenge if you're bold enough to do something about your discomfort.

What are you doing that's keeping you stuck, playing small, in your denial or fearful? Yes, every "mistake" can be seen as a lesson which can lead to learning and growth, however if you're unaware of things you're doing which are keeping you in denial or feeding your ego, then the ultimate growth or healing you say you're playing for will not arise. In this episode I'm sharing 7 mistakes that I've made and that I've seen others make as they work to heal, grow, and improve themselves.

How do you feel about your partner watching pornography? It's a topic that I wouldn't be surprised comes up in most relationships in some way. I know it certainly has in mine. On today's episode, Sarah joins me to answer a listener email about porn in relationships. This one gets real. It's also important I say that neither Sarah nor I are therapists, counselors or doctors, and that we're speaking on this subject purely from out own experiences. Listen for entertainment purposes only.

How big is your money game? That's the question at the heart of today's episode. You see, there are many beliefs out there around money and personal self worth that impact your financial reality.  Money is a topic that can be so complex because of all of the emotions we wrap up in it. So today's episode is sure to create a bit of friction within you! Having It A.L.L. Blueprint Online Course -- www.matthewbivens.com/blueprint

Are you avoiding breakdowns in your life? You might be saying "Of course I do, why wouldn't I?" Well, buckle up because in today's episode I'm letting you know that if you're living a life of avoiding breakdowns (not being your authentic self, not speaking your truth, not sharing boldly, not asking for what you want, not stepping into the ring), then you cannot expect to experience massive breakthroughs that lead to transformations. They just won't happen.

What is your personal mission in life? Why do you get out of bed and do what you do each day? I talk a lot about personal mission statements in this podcast. I believe in the power of a personal mission statement. I've seen how having one for the past 6 years has shaped my life, and I've witnessed the power they unlock within my clients.  On today's episode I'm rebroadcasting an awesome conversation I had with Sarah all about the power of personal mission statements to create your best life. 

What are the beliefs, stories, experiences that you've pushed down so deep into your soul, that the thought of bringing them into the light is terrifying? That's what we're talking about in today's episode! If you're listening to this show it's because you desire to have it all and you're hoping to get some ideas, motivation, tools, belief systems to help you achieve that.  My message today is simple: You will not have it all because you're unwilling to do this one simple thing. 

How intentional are you with sex? Sex is a thing that requires zero maturity or acquired knowledge to participate in, yet can be extraordinary risk from both a physical and emotional standpoint. So today I'm talking about the practice of setting intention for your sexual intimacy, and how it can transform not only your experience of the sex you're about to engage in, but also what happens after the sex is complete.
