TOUGH TALKS: Conversations on Mental Toughness

What does Sexual Health have to do with Mental Toughness? Or, what does Mental Toughness have to do with Sexual Health? And which comes first? These are just a few of the several fascinating questions we explore in today’s episode of Tough Talks with our guest, anti-aging and regenerative medicine physician, Dr. Amy B. Killen.   --- More about Amy:   website: https://dramykillen.com/ IG: https://www.instagram.com/dr.amybkillen/ YouTube: https://bit.ly/3cVyVem https://christopherdorris.com/tough-talks-sex-and-mental-toughness-with-dr-amy-b-killen/ ---

HEADS UP!!!: In keeping with my perpetual commitment to offer you opportunities to apply the Mental Toughness Tools and Techniques that we cover in these badass Tough Talks episodes, I encourage you to head into this episode with a couple of my favorite mantras in mind: “Ain’t bad; Just is.” And, “The Problem is The Gift.”  Why am I saying this? Well, as fate would have it, I had some microphone issues. So there’s some serious screeching going on when I get loud – and I do that a lot. So, treat this as an opportunity to multitask. You get to BOTH learn from the immense wisdom of our first ever three-peater guest, David Wood, AND you also get to practice replacing your cringing when my audio pops with the above-suggested mantras. How’s THAT for service, huh?!   --- Props to my tech team of Micah Guller and Marlot Pels (who, by the way, are fully responsible for almost EVERYTHING that goes on here, and everywhere else in my life, production-wise) for fixing up the scratchiness a great deal so it’s even listenable.   --- When we initially discovered the “problem” (gift), my immediate response was, “F*#K!” Which I then replaced out loud with, Ain’t Bad; Just Is. And The Problem is The Gift. And that’s the work right there. Catching ourselves with low-grade interpretations of reality, and upgrading them as fast as possible. So have some fun learning and training. This episode was just WAY too good to toss because of a little (lot of) audio challenge! --- If making way more money by doing LESS sounds appealing, then tune in. --- This is David's THIRD appearance as a guest on Tough Talks. He's just that good. He teaches us how to decline the "monkey treats" that steer us off track (that'll make sense in a minute). --- And if you're a business owner and/or entrepreneur, then today's episode is particularly relevant to you. --- The 1st and 2nd episode with David:   TOUGH TALKS: David Wood International Coach and Speaker https://christopherdorris.com/tough-talks-david-wood-international-coach-and-speaker/ TOUGH TALKS: David Wood – Volume 2 - TAKING MASSIVE ACTION https://christopherdorris.com/tough-talks-david-wood-volume-2international-coach-and-speaker/ --- More about David Wood:   Website: https://focus.ceo/ Gift Basket: https://focus.ceo/gift2/ His Book on Amazon: Get paid for Who You Are https://amzn.to/2McBYUE FB Biz Page: https://www.facebook.com/extraordinaryfocus/ FB Personal Page: https://www.facebook.com/playforrealll LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/focus-ceo/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/_focusceo Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/_focusceo/ --- https://christopherdorris.com/tough-talks-how-to-double-your-income-and-happiness-by-focusing-on-less-with-david-wood/ --- If you enjoyed this content and you are not getting notifications of new posts, then I invite you to sign up to my list.   Please also share this with the people in your world that would also dig this post and benefit from it.   --- https://christopherdorris.com/lists

Yes, you CAN have it all!   --- Walt Hampton is a former litigation attorney turned high-altitude mountaineer, ultramarathoner, author, speaker, and Executive Coach.   --- He has the highest vibe EVER! His enthusiasm is childlike and contagious. You CANNOT listen to this guy for any length of time and not feel PUMPED!   --- He insists that we each have totally unique gifts and that we are obligated to share them with the world.   --- He deconstructs the notion of "failure."   --- He demands that we celebrate our excellence MUCH more.  He ran his first marathon at age 53!   --- I'd write more here but I just finished interviewing him and I have to go run through a brick wall!!!   --- https://christopherdorris.com/tough-talks-you-can-have-it-all-with-walt-hampton/ --- If you enjoyed this content and you are not getting notifications of new posts, then I invite you to sign up to my list.

Dr. Daniel Harner is a former traditional Psychotherapist who has shifted to what he refers to as Psycho-Spiritual Mentoring. --- A couple of the things I love about Daniel is his genius and his ability to dumb it down for us. He even acknowledges that a huge part of his work is to make conversations about "Spiritual Nourishment" accessible and understandable for 5 years olds. --- Daniel is that refreshing combination of deep as hell and cool as hell. He's dropping wisdom bombs left and right over here on the function of suffering and he even teaches us that "the Devil is walking with us at all times" and how that's a great thing! --- website http://www.danielharner.com/ --- https://christopherdorris.com/tough-talks-are-you-spiritually-malnourished-dr-daniel-harner/ ---   If you enjoyed this content and you are not getting notifications of new posts, then I invite you to signup to my list.  Please also share this with the people in your world that would also dig this post and benefit from it. ---   https://christopherdorris.com/lists

Most psychiatrists want to push meds on people to treat their trauma. Not this guy. He wants to help folks activate their internal pharmacy to help them not only survive but to ultimately thrive.    His name is Dr. Mark Goulstin and he is the author of the famous book, Just Listen, which has become the #1 book in the world on listening and has been translated into 26 languages.    He just released his latest book entitled, Why Cope When You Can Heal? and we will be diving deep into that one today.  Doc pledged to leave us all with some cool, original, powerful, practical tools that we can use immediately to heal ourselves from any trauma, and he sure delivered! The dude is brilliant and pretty damn funny. You're gonna love him.   https://christopherdorris.com/tough-talks-why-cope-when-you-can-heal-with-dr-mark-goulston/  ---   https://christopherdorris.com/lists  ---   If you enjoyed this content and you are not getting notifications of new posts, then I invite you to signup to my list.  Please also share this with the people in your world that would also dig this post and benefit from it.

While on Holiday in Iceland in 2016, a blood vessel in Jason's brain erupted and almost killed him. It did partially paralyze him, but it sure as hell didn't stop him from creating a life of service as a result of it.   He shares details of his story with us today that he doesn't always disclose. And he reminds us that every set of circumstances - no matter how difficult - can be leveraged to "bounce forward."   https://christopherdorris.com/tough-talks-about-face-yourself-with-jason-flores/

Want to learn how to do “Psychic Downloads” and access “Divine Intelligence”? I recommend you do, because by the sounds of it, skill sets like these can make life a helluva lot easier and simpler. --- She was diagnosed with cancer at age 14 and refers to it as a blessing. And it sure didn’t happen “to her.” It didn’t even happen “for her.” It happened “AS her.” She’ll explain. --- Her definition of Mental Toughness is one of the best I have ever heard. --- And make sure to stay tuned in for the 2nd part where Colleen pulls a card for YOU from her Magical Creatures Oracle Card Deck!
