It is the things that you do on a daily consistent basis, compounded over time, that actually determines your success or failure. Now, intuitively this statement makes sense to us all, however, we've been led to believe that success or failure occurs in one giant moment.  In this episode we discuss the profound power that habits have over determining the direction of our lives. We talk about how and WHY habits are formed, both from an evolutionary and neurological perspective, and how you can use this to your advantage.  We talk about the common pitfalls of creating habits. Why it's usually the simplest things we do OR DON'T DO that add up to huge changes in our lives.  At the end, we ground the episode in some practical advice you can use right away to start implementing some good habits in your life and move in the direction of your goals.  Finally, Soul Builder LIVE is right around the corner!

Life is pretty simple when you realize that we all just want to feel connected with ourselves, so we can connect with others in a deep, meaningful way. What are the blocks that cause us to disconnect? How can we find that connection again in the midst of the challenges we face in life? In this episode, we had the opportunity to talk with Michaela Smith about the answers to these questions. Michaela has been an entrepreneur for 11 years and she shares her inspiring story of how she closed her dog walking business after 9 years to start anew. Now she runs Karma Koaches where she helps coaches connect with other coaches, as well as with clients. If you'd like to connect with Michaela, check out https://karmakoaches.com/ 

Your integrity and your word are some of the most powerful assets you can build up. That only happens when you consistently do what you say you're going to do. The times we feel the most deflated is when we say we're going to do something and we don't do it. You lose the trust with yourself and it chips away at your confidence. In this episode, we cover how to overcome those doubts that come up when you're at the edge of making a decision, so you can go through with what you know will move you forward. You'll learn the #1 question you can ask yourself to override this hesitancy to show up, so you can develop your trust in yourself. Remember, how you do anything is how you do everything. Be the person you want to be!

Special Episode! Why? Because this episodes topic came from a listener's question to Kevin on Instagram.  The question came as this:  "I feel like I listen to or read so many inspirational resources that sometimes I feel like I jump from one resource to another and that I am not able to retain even the 'AHA!' moments I get. What is the best way to balance learning and living it out?" This is something that both Kevin and Chris have struggled with and so you will get an honest, down to earth answer to this question and much more!  If you have a question you would like us to answer, reach out to Kevin @kevinfcarton or Chris at @chrisjcarton on instagram.

On this episode we are joined by Julie Householder, a life coach and Biofield Immersion Healing Practitioner, to discuss the topic of forgiveness. Most of us believe that forgiveness is an outward act that requires you to be okay with what the other person did to you. We argue that this is just not the case. Forgiveness is an internal shift in awareness and energy within yourself. It’s the ability to shift the story you tell yourself about the other person, and your relationship to the event. In this episode we discuss: How forgiveness work is a constant process, not something you do once. Victim mindset, and how it keeps a lot of us stuck in resentment and an unwillingness to forgive. How an unwillingness to forgive and hold grudges is actually harming YOU, not the other person. How taking responsibility for your forgiveness work will increase your sense of agency over your life. Two life coaches expert tips on how you can begin to forgive even those who have hurt you the most, and why this is so important to your overall health and well-being.

Whether, we realize it or not, all of us are telling stories in our heads.  Stories about ourselves, who we think we are, what we believe we are capable of, Stories about events, situations, or conditions, Stories about other people, what we think of them, and what they think about us. All of these stories we tell have the tendency to be warped by our perceptions of reality. Why? Because we are the ones telling them! In this episode we discuss the importance of stories and how, oftentimes, regardless of if they are ACTUALLY TRUE or not, can harden into facts in our minds and run our life.  We also provide some of our best tips and tricks to first notice the stories we tell, and then change them to be empowering.  Finally, Soul Builder LIVE is right around the corner!
