Do you ever feel like there's this looming feeling that if “I slow down then everything is going to fall apart”?

You have been going a hundred miles an hour, juggling way too many damn things, trying to force and make things work, and feeling like you're not quite getting anywhere.

When you're trying to pause and take a break our brains tell us things like “I don't want to lose momentum. I don't want to lose credibility. What if it doesn't work out? What if I never want to go back to it?”. All that spiraling stuff is convincing you that you need to do things when your mind and your body are telling you that it needs a break and some time to reset.

In today’s Powerback® episode, we're going to look at this through a new lens and what can actually happen when you give yourself the chance to pause, to refocus, and to move forward in alignment.

We’ll go through:

• Why we have such a hard time slowing down
• Getting into your conscious mind and your body
• What you can get out of taking a pause
• Determining what your pause will look like
• A special announcement about The Gutsy Podcast

Sometimes you get to the top and realize you’ve built your own prison. The hard work, late nights, and big numbers can lead to fractured relationships and personal emptiness if it’s built off of outward productivity.

Today we’re talking with Cathryn Lavery about shifting from hustling your way to the top to integrating inward fulfillment into your decision-making - something that leads to feeling good about yourself, what you’ve created, and celebrating with the people you love the most.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• Lessons from Tony Robbins
• From the fine recipe to successful entrepreneur
• The prison Cathryn built for herself while building her business
• How business affects personal relationships and vice versa
• Presence over balance in your life
• Buying the business back
• How Cathryn measures enoughness
• Detaching working and being productive from success and happiness
• Allowing yourself to have whitespace
• What personal fulfillment looks like to Cathryn

Cathryn is a serial entrepreneur, 2019 Inc 500 member, and the founder of BestSelf, a product brand that develops tools to help people become the best version of themselves, whether that be hitting their goals or cultivating healthy relationships. Endorsed by Shark Tank star Daymond John, BestSelf won Shopify’s Build a Bigger Business competition, received one-on-one mentorship from Tony Robbins, and sold over $45 million in product over 6.5 years before being acquired in 2022. Cathryn just repurchased the company earlier this year and is looking forward to having a do-over and applying the lessons she's learned along the way.

When you’re in alignment, everything is easier and more enjoyable. But when you’re out of alignment, you might find yourself waking up dreading the things you have to do. Building a business is more than big numbers and goals, it’s about creating something that fills your soul and allows you to live and work the way you want.
Today’s episode is an extra special one because our guest, Milana Leshinsky, was the very first coach I met back in 2003 and was a foundational mentor who planted the seed for my career as a speaker and coach.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• The history Milana and I have together
• Milana’s from music teacher to coach and software founder
• What Milana’s successful career brought her
• The impact of our money stories and Milana’s mindset
• Burnout and walking away from a 7-figure business
• The importance of alignment and listening to the signals
• The ripple effects of making decisions and taking different action
• Why being booked solid is not the best goal
• How to make money as you sleep

Milana is the author of two books, "Coaching Millions" and "Simplicity Entrepreneurship", and the originator of telesummit. She is also the creator of Coaching Genie, a coaching platform that allows you to create and deliver your coaching programs online. Since 2001, Milana has created and sold $9+ million dollars of programs, products, and trainings. Her goal is to empower thousands of freedom-seeking experts and entrepreneurs to conquer chaos, leverage their genius, and bring value to others without experiencing burnout.

Look, breaking a habit is not an easy task, okay? But it is possible when you get out of your own way, you interrupt the patterns in your mind and you choose to move differently. You can break any habit or pattern, no matter how long it's been stuck in there.
In today’s Powerback® episode, I'm sharing this experiment that I've been doing: breaking the habit of scrolling mindlessly on my phone the second that I wake up. The simple act of choosing to plug it in in another room has led to some pretty interesting observations and breakthroughs.
You know how I always say, “The thing that you want the most is behind the thing that you resist the most”? In this story, I'm going to tell you how I absolutely resisted the thing I wanted the most, and now I have it.

We’ll go through:

• Identifying & breaking a habit that’s not serving you
• The one who motivates the motivator
• The habit of scrolling mindlessly on my phone the second that I wake up
• How this habit was not serving me
• Replacing the old habit with something new

I recently talked myself out of a panic attack.

Now listen, I have struggled with depression and anxiety for well over a decade, and until this moment, I really felt like I was never in control of these things. This time I thought, you know what, I'm going to try something different.

I was able to talk myself out of a panic attack instead of going down that spiral and getting stuck in that sticky situation—if you suffer from this, you know exactly what I'm talking about—and I was able to gain control back. In fact, I was able to take my Powerback®.

So, on today's Powerback® episode, we're talking about how I got myself out of this freaking panic attack in a way that was very simple. It just required diligence, focus, and intention.

Disclaimer: this is not medical advice, make sure that you're talking to your doctor and make sure that you are checking for underlying conditions that can cause anxiety. Additionally, this is my experience, so take it with a grain of salt.

We’ll go through:

• Celebrating our wedding anniversary in style
• My mind hijacks the amazing moment, but I don’t let it
• Interrupting my thoughts and sensations
• Using grounding techniques, breathing, and somatic practices
• Changing the focus and reframing
