Courageous Self-confidence

Luke DePron, a fitness coach who works with everyday men and women to help them build self confidence through physical exercise, explains that competence is the foundation of confidence. He recommends finding a physical challenge outside of one's current capacity in order to grow and become more confident. Exercise can be transformative mentally because it takes hard work and dedication to see results. Luke originally went into fitness coaching because he wanted to make an impact on people by combining his passion for health and nutrition with his knowledge from college. He believes that dedicating three to four 45 minute workouts per week is enough for radical transformation, but also suggests making small nutritional adjustments as well. Sal and Luke discuss how having the confidence to try something new, even if it means being a beginner and not knowing what you're doing is an important step in developing self-esteem. He uses his own experience with taking acting classes as an example of how he was able to

Adele Spraggon is interviewed by Sal Hatton. Adele explains how to remove unworkable patterns in order to achieve optimal solutions. She suggests a method of subtraction rather than addition, and advocates doubting every belief held in the conscious mind as it knows nothing in reality. The brain is divided into two hemispheres - the left hemisphere being focused on logic, while the right hemisphere speaks through pictures and metaphors. To build confidence, one must create communication between both hemispheres so that joy can be experienced all the time. Adele shares her own story of pushing past fear with courage by removing her pattern of feeling too small for something she was called to do during a five day silent repatterning journey. Adele Spraggon shares how she was directed to change the conversation in the world from dichotomy to paradox. She went for a walk in an apple orchard and realized that this transition had already occurred due to humans transitioning from hunter gatherers to farmers, which c

Our lives are made up by a series of moments. And at the end of our life, it’s these moments that we think about. It’s these things that we care about. And that is because we think in narrative, we create meaning out of thin air. It’s what moves us and it’s how we make goals concrete. Narrative is how we capture a life in a book. It’s how I tend to interview guests on this show in the Stories of Courage series. And it’s because we humans are naturally wired for story that it’s important to both recognize the moments of our story and create those moments. I absolutely LOVE bars of soap. Lathering up my entire body with a bar of soap and rinsing squeeky clean. The other day, I caught a bar of soap in the shower. And when I did, I knew it was going to be a great day! Why? Because why not. What does it mean to catch a bar of soap anyway? To most of us it’s just a shoulder shrug. And to some of us, it means something. For me it’s an omen that today is going to be a great day. That omen is a choice. In this episode
