The Gratitude Trap: What Gratitude Reveals About Your Identity

Most people practice gratitude all wrong, and it's keeping them stuck in mediocrity.In this episode, Brad reveals why your gratitude practice is actually reinforcing your subconscious identity. What you appreciate (or don't appreciate) is a mirror showing you who you believe you are at your core.Most gratitude is surface-level, performative, and survival-based. But real gratitude? It's identity work. It's rewiring your mind for success.By the end of this episode, you'll look at gratitude completely differently (and you might realize you've been grateful for the wrong things that are actually preventing abundance).Key Topics Covered: Why most gratitude practices reinforce your current identity instead of expanding itThe difference between surface-level gratitude and expansion gratitudeHow gratitude language reveals your belief systemThe Three Levels of GratitudeSurvival Gratitude - "I'm grateful I didn't get fired" / "I'm grateful we could pay for groceries"Comfort Gratitude - "I'm grateful for my stable job" / "I'm grateful for my home"Expansion Gratitude - "I'm grateful I'm becoming someone who creates massive impact"The Science of GratitudeHeartMath Institute study: How gratitude syncs your heart and brainHow your reticular activating system (RAS) responds to expansion gratitudeWhy 5 minutes of gratitude practice doesn't work if you spend 23 hours and 55 minutes stressedIdentity Shifting Through GratitudeWhat you appreciate is what you believe you're worthy of havingHow scarcity gratitude disguises itself as appreciationThe difference between entitlement and ambition in gratitude practiceFuture-Self Gratitude PracticeHow to practice gratitude for who you're BECOMINGWhy this rewires your subconscious identityHow to turn Thanksgiving into an identity-shifting practiceBreakthrough Moments: "What you appreciate is what you believe you're worthy of having.""If you're only grateful for basic stability, you've subconsciously decided that stability is your ceiling.""Most gratitude is survival-focused or comfort-based, not expansion.""Your gratitude language will literally show your belief system.""Expansion gratitude isn't about wanting more stuff... it's about becoming someone who creates more."Work With Brad: ⚡️Get Daily Success Coaching From Brad Texted Right to Your Phone: https://www.bradbizjack.com/momentum-club-sales-page-podcast🚀Be The First to Know When Doors to Rewired Reopen In 2026.

How Trauma Impacts Performance, Parenting & Success w/ Dr. Don Wood (Part 2)

Last Call For Tomorrow’s Free Training: Heal The Trauma That’s Holding You Back From Success And Happiness. Click Here to Register Now!If you missed last week's episode, we introduced you to Dr. Don Wood and revealed how unresolved trauma is the hidden root cause of anxiety, depression, anger, autoimmune issues, ADHD, addiction, and so much more.This week, we're going deeper into how trauma impacts your performance, your parenting, your success, and your business.And this Tuesday at 10 AM Central, Dr. Don and I are hosting a FREE live training where we're going to show you the steps to heal the trauma that's been holding you back.I don't recommend things I haven't used myself. This work changed my life. It changed my wife Janiece's life. And it's changed every single person I've sent Dr. Don's way.Episode Description:Welcome to Part 2 of our groundbreaking conversation with Dr. Don Wood, where we dive deep into how unresolved trauma sabotages your performance, your parenting, and your ability to reach the next level in every area of life.In this episode, you'll discover why your conscious mind knows what to do, but your subconscious mind keeps pulling you back into old patterns. Dr. Wood reveals the shocking truth: your subconscious has no concept of time. When something triggers an old trauma, your nervous system responds as if the threat is happening right now, activating fight-or-flight and shutting down your ability to perform, connect, and heal.Think about it. Why would your brain focus on healing or maintenance if it thinks it’s running from a bear? This episode answers the question: What becomes possible when your nervous system is no longer running on a decades-old threat response? The answer will change the game for you.If you've been hitting invisible ceilings, getting in your way right when things are going well, or struggling to be present despite knowing better, this episode reveals why, and what you can actually do about it.Key Takeaways: Your subconscious mind operates in the present tense only. It has no concept of "10 years ago," which is why triggers activate your nervous system as if the original trauma is happening right now.The duck analogy that changes how you view your brain. Dr. Wood explains why animals don't hold onto trauma (they live in the present) while humans replay events and create meaning that keeps us stuck in loops.Janiece's birth trauma transformation. How Brad's wife went from being unable to talk about their daughter's traumatic birth without crying, to having zero emotional charge after healing the trauma with Dr. Wood.Why your body won't heal in fight-or-flight. When your nervous system perceives a threat, it shuts down maintenance and repair functions, leading to chronic health issues that won't resolve until you heal the trauma.How to break the generational cycle. Dr. Wood reveals why apologizing to your children and demonstrating change can prevent passing your unresolved trauma to the next generation.The real reason for performance ceilings. It's not your strategy, intelligence, or work ethic. It's your nervous system operating at 30-40% capacity because it's stuck in survival mode."Nothing is permanent. Everything is fixable." Dr. Wood's powerful reminder that brain plasticity means you can heal trauma at any age and unlock the potential that's been buried beneath survival mode.Resources to Go Deeper With Brad and Don: Last Call!

This isn't theory. This is science-backed methodology that has transformed thousands of lives. Episode Description:What if everything you think is holding you back (anxiety, anger, lack of focus, health issues) isn't the real problem at all?Unresolved trauma is silently running your life, and you probably don't even know it.In this groundbreaking episode, Brad sits down with Dr. Don Wood‚ a leading expert in trauma resolution (and his personal trauma therapist)‚ to reveal why healing trauma is the missing piece in your success, health, and relationships.You'll discover why 80% of psychological and physical issues are trauma-based, and why most doctors only treat the symptoms instead of the root cause. Dr. Wood shares the shocking story of how his daughter's Crohn's disease and life-threatening lung disorder completely disappeared after healing childhood trauma‚ proving that unresolved trauma doesn't just affect your mind, it manifests in your body.Brad opens up about his own journey, being pissed off on a jet ski, completely disconnected from his family despite having everything to be grateful for, and how healing his nervous system unlocked an entirely new gear he didn't know existed.This episode will fundamentally shift how you understand anxiety, depression, autoimmune disease, ADHD, addiction, and the invisible ceilings you keep hitting in your life. You'll learn why your nervous system doesn't know the difference between past and present, why you can't think your way out of trauma, and what's actually possible when you heal at the root level.Key Takeaways: Why 80% of psychological and physical issues are trauma-based, and why traditional medicine only treats symptoms, not the root cause of anxiety, depression, and autoimmune disorders.How Dr. Don Wood's daughter permanently healed from Crohn's disease and a life-threatening lung disorder by resolving childhood trauma, after doctors said there was no cure and she'd need a colostomy bag for life.Your nervous system doesn't understand time. When you have unresolved trauma, your body responds to “triggers” as if the original threat is happening right now, keeping you stuck in fight-or-flight mode.Why you can't think your way out of trauma‚ the trauma isn't stored in your conscious mind, it's stored in your nervous system, which is why affirmations and positive thinking don't create lasting change.The invisible cost of unresolved trauma, from being unable to be present with your family, to hitting performance ceilings in business, to chronic health issues that won't resolve no matter what you try.Brad's jet ski moment, the breaking point when he realized something had to change, and how healing his trauma transformed every aspect of his life.Why hypervigilance isn't just "being stressed", it's your nervous system trapped in a trauma loop, constantly scanning for threats that no longer exist, draining your energy and "sabotaging" your success.Resources to Go Deeper With Brad and Don: Click Here to Join The Free Training Next Week: Heal the Trauma That's Holding You Back From Success And Fulfillment

The Hidden Cost of Trying Harder

Most people think success is just about hustling harder. But what if more effort is the very thing keeping you stuck? In this episode, Brad reveals why working harder at what’s not working leads to burnout… and how to align your inner wiring so effort feels energizing instead of draining.Episode Description:You’ve probably been told to “just push harder” when things aren’t working. But the truth is, more effort applied to misaligned beliefs, emotions, and identities doesn’t create breakthroughs… it actually amplifies the struggle.In this episode, Brad dives deep into why willpower is only a short-term fix, how resistance forms when you force success, and the simple shift that makes work feel inspiring instead of exhausting. If you’ve ever felt like you’re running in quicksand, doing all the right things but not seeing results. This conversation will show you what’s really going on beneath the surface.What You’ll Learn: Why willpower is like lighter fluid: it burns fast but fizzles out.The difference between push motivation and pull inspiration.How “trying harder” amplifies faulty wiring instead of fixing it.Why burnout isn’t about hours worked—it’s about misalignment.The role of beliefs, emotions, and identity in shaping success.How to rewire your mind so effort fuels fulfillment, not exhaustion.Key Quotes: “Every time you white-knuckle your way forward, you reinforce the subconscious pattern that success equals struggle.”“Burnout has nothing to do with hours worked… It’s a symptom of being out of alignment with your purpose and vision.”“Hard work stops feeling hard when you’re pulled by a vision instead of pushing from fear.”Work With Brad: ⚡️Get Daily Success Coaching From Brad Texted Right to Your Phone: https://www.bradbizjack.com/momentum-club-sales-page-podcast🚀Be The First to Know When Doors to Rewired Reopen.
