Hi there! This community is still pretty tiny, and while we're building it, this is an opportunity for our current members to take advantage of the intimacy of this group. People will join this group for a number of reasons: 1) Because they want to uplevel their success in business or leadership 2) Because they want to finally break through the mindset blocks that keep them from advancing 3) Because they want to learn how to master their emotions - to stay grounded even in high-stakes situations 4) To be part of a community that "gets it" and is driven by supportive collaboration. Yesterday, a friend called to share her experience of being rear-ended while she was parked in a parking lot. The two men in the pickup that rammed her little car emerged yelling and swearing at her as though it was her fault. She remained calm. The driver then denied that he had hit her at all. She showed him the evidence (the large scratch on her hatchback door). He continued to gaslight her, saying that she couldn't prove that his vehicle did it. She remained calm. The other male who had previously been belligerent as well now noticed that she was being reasonable and his friend (the driver) was not. He then attempted to mediate the discussion. His friend continued to bluster. She remained calm. The driver said he never felt anything, therefore they had not collided. She pointed to the spectators inside the donut shop who were all avidly watching this exchange. She noted that they were all witnesses and would probably corroborate her side of the story. She then calmly pointed out that he wasn't being very "manly" trying to intimidate a woman. She further told him that she used to drive a full-size school bus, and that she was aware that people driving large vehicles often don't notice when they hit small ones. He retorted that he couldn't have hit her, because he was looking... she replied that she knows for sure that he hit her because she was in the car when it happened and the whole car moved.

Hey - and WELCOME to our new member! This is a brand new community just getting started. I wanted to say hi and thanks for joining - feel free to look around the classroom and see what free resources are available for you. I encourage you to participate in the 5-day Emotional Mastery Challenge and do a little more than just "dipping your toes in the water". I also want to let you know that my newest book - The Mastery Code Volume Two: Mental Health Matters, is now available on Amazon in E-Book and Print formats. We just completed a successful virtual launch, and we're thrilled to feature 9 authors in this volume, all sharing their inspirational and motivational stories about their mental health journeys. This is a collection of mental health professionals and mental health advocates who, beyond their stories, share practical, actionable strategies to help you cope with grief, recover from trauma, bio-hack your nervous system, use natural solutions for healing and much more. Check it out and grab a copy! Here's what one reader had to say: "This manuscript feels honest. The voice is human, it’s relatable, and it has that balance where it’s soft enough to feel safe but strong enough to feel like it knows what it’s doing. In the foreword, the line about it being like “Chicken Soup for the Soul, but for mental health” is simple and clear, and it tells people right away what they’re holding in their hands. The storytelling is also really vivid. The hamster scene is funny and detailed in the best way, you can see the classroom, you can feel the childhood intensity, and it pulls the reader in fast. It makes the writing feel alive, not academic, and that’s a gift. I also love that it’s practical. It’s not just inspiring, it gives people tools. “Magnified Thoughts™” is laid out in a way that feels doable, and the “5Cs” gives readers something they can remember and come back to when they’re trying to stay grounded." Enjoy! and Have a great week!

This is one of my favourite lessons - I remind myself of this everytime I feel uncomfortable. I know some people who will do just about anything to avoid discomfort - they'll go so far as to fast-forward through parts of shows or movies that "feel too tense". This constant avoidance of discomfort actually makes us more sensitive to it and weakens our resiliency. What are your thoughts on this? (And please, no shade to my massage therapist. He's the reason I have range of motion and all my ribs are seated where they're supposed to be).
