The MINDset Game® Podcast

As we go through life, we all encounter various types of loss – whether it’s a physical loss or the loss of a dream, relationship, or way of life. While it can be easy to become stuck in the grieving process, these situations may also present a powerful opportunity to inspire others and lead more impactfully.  For John Register – our guest in Episode 237 of The Mindset Game® podcast – the devastating experience of losing his leg from an accident while training for the Olympics propelled his journey to becoming an inspirational keynote speaker, consultant, C-suite advisor, and author of the book, “10 Power Stories to Impact Any Leader.” He is also a combat Army veteran and a two-time Olympic Trials qualifier in the hurdles. Since his amputation, John has won the Long Jump Silver Medal in Sydney, Australia, has advised three U.S. Secretaries of State, and founded the U.S. Olympic Committee's Paralympic Military Sports Program, which has helped tens of thousands of wounded veterans around the world use sports as a tool for rehabilitation. He believes that when our truth outweighs our fear, we will commit to a courageous life. In this week’s episode, John shares the following:  Why it’s important for leaders in particular to acknowledge, accept, and honor the losses they’ve experienced A three-part framework – reckoning, revision, and renewal – for transforming change and adversity into opportunities for growth  Tips for building your resilience capacity, such as taking appropriate breaks for rest, asking for help, and empathizing with others and what they value To explore more inspirational content from John or to join his Elevate Life community of international executives, visit https://johnregister.beehiiv.com.  To subscribe to The Mindset Game® podcast or leave a review, visit https://apple.co/3oAnR8I.

Have you ever sensed that you’re carrying heaviness you can’t quite name—or longed for clarity and connection in the midst of chaos?

Elaine Glass is a transformational guide, author, and retreat facilitator who has spent the past two decades helping people get quiet—so they can hear the wisdom within. In Episode 236 of The Mindset Game® podcast, Elaine shares: Her personal story of facing a dark night of the soul, stepping away from external comforts to begin a deep healing journey The power of “getting quiet” to reconnect with your senses, your soul, and your life’s deeper purpose A guided experience to clear stored emotions and shift into a state of lightness and coherence An overview of the 7 paths from her book Get Quiet: Seven Simple Paths to the Truth of Who You Are, including how our body, environment, thoughts, and emotions must be cleared to access our soul’s guidance To learn more about Elaine’s retreats, book, or to receive a free calming visualization, visit www.elaineglass.com.

What if certain essential aspects of your life – such as your talents and what truly motivates you – were determined before you were even conceived? While the idea may seem far-fetched, a practice called numerology posits that some numbers, including those linked to your name and date of birth, carry vibrations and meanings that can reveal illuminating truths about your life’s path and purpose.  David Shephard – who previously appeared in Episode 58 of The Mindset Game® podcast – is a globally recognized expert in neuro-linguistic programming (NLP), as well as Time Line Therapy, hypnosis, Hawaiian Huna, and numerology. Returning as our guest in Episode 235 of the show, David shares: An overview of numerology and what different numbers can reveal about your life’s destiny, your soul drive (or deepest motivations), and your natural talents A simple numerology exercise designed to reveal your natural talent using only your date of birth  How numerology can facilitate a process of self-discovery and awareness – which is particularly crucial to be able to lead others effectively  To access David’s numerology masterclass and many other resources, visit https://hunaandbeyond.com.

Have you ever felt that you had different “parts” within yourself – often with their own competing needs and goals? For instance, one part of you may feel driven to work hard every day, while another prioritizes relaxation; some parts may carry heavy emotions such as shame or fear, while others attempt to bury them with behaviors that are often maladaptive. While the interactions between these parts can sometimes create a sense of inner turmoil, getting to know each of them and striving to foster healing and harmony among them can help you access greater joy and balance in your life.  Ty Cutner is a level-two-trained personal development coach in Internal Family Systems (IFS), a well-known therapeutic model developed by Dr. Richard Schwartz. Ty is a contributing author to the best-selling book, “Freeing Self: IFS Beyond the Therapy Room,” as well as one of the leading coaches in the IFS community. He applies the IFS model to his workshops and his practice, which focuses on image coaching and relationship coaching. As our guest in Episode 234 of The Mindset Game® podcast, Ty shares the following:  An overview of our different parts as described by IFS, including managers, firefighters, and exiles, and how they work together in various contexts, with each having a positive intention for you — even if it doesn’t always seem that way Why it’s important to become aware of your parts, as well as the Self — an ever-present, loving energy within each of us that can heal conflicts between the parts Exercises, techniques, and a guided meditation designed to help you get in touch with your parts, soothe any discord between them, and begin interacting with them in a more harmonious, compassionate manner  To learn more about Ty and his programs or to get in touch with him, visit www.tycutner.com.  To subscribe to The Mindset Game® podcast or leave a review, please visit https://apple.co/3oAnR8I. 

When it comes to the treatment and prevention of acute and chronic health conditions, we often focus on medications and other common modalities of Western medicine. However, a more effective and lasting approach to optimizing health and longevity often involves a combination of factors—including diet, exercise, and mindset. Using a unique combination of neuropathic and Chinese medicine, Dr. Greg Eckel provides an array of tools to treat acute and chronic illness, emphasizing prevention and wellness principles. He is the co-founder of Nature Cures Clinic in Portland, Oregon and the founder of bVital, a wellness and recharging center, and Energy4Life Centers. Dr. Greg takes a three-prong approach to healing: the goal is to detect the body's energy systems, correct the body's control systems, and protect the body's energy, which is done through bioenergetics, light and sound therapy, and mind-body therapies. In Episode 233 of The Mindset Game® podcast, Dr. Greg shares: Why mindset is a crucial yet often-overlooked aspect of healing, as well as specific techniques and modalities to help reverse limiting beliefs and subconscious programs Practical tips related to diet and exercise to help you live a long, strong, and healthy life The latest research in biofield science and the implications it could have for our health and healing Why being able to enter a state of heart coherence and tune in to the body’s intuitive guidance are important for overall wellness To learn more about Dr. Greg Eckel and his programs, visit https://energy4lifecenters.com, or https://brainregen.com for resources specific to brain regeneration.  To learn more about The Mindset Game® podcast, visit www.TheMindsetGame.com.

As humans, we have an immense capacity for love and wisdom, with the power to be a source of light in the world. However, often due to trauma and other challenging experiences, we may develop patterns and create stories that might not be fully true, but end up holding us back from accessing our inner light. Exploring a concept known as the human energy consciousness field may offer insights that can help us transfigure these patterns and achieve mental, emotional, and physical healing. As an expert on the human energy field and the healing sciences, Donna Evans Strauss currently serves on the Board and is the Dean of Year Two Studies at the Barbara Brennan School of Healing in Florida and Japan. Donna also created the Brennan Integration Practitioner Program, which is a master's degree, two-year supervisory program specializing in psycho-energetic healing methods.

It’s often said that our thoughts create our reality. Therefore, while many people focus on the steps they need to take in order to achieve optimal results in their personal and professional lives, the true path to success may begin with the thoughts that you train your mind to engage on a daily basis. As the go-to mind coach of the NBA and Major League Baseball, Devon Bandison works with Fortune 100 companies and people from all walks of life. He’s an international TEDx speaker whose work has been featured in The Wall Street Journal, Good Morning America, Inc Magazine and other leading media outlets. As our guest in Episode 231 of The Mindset Game® podcast, Devon shares the following:  Why you must first determine the type of person you need to be – for example, “I want to be the sort of person who grows my business by x amount next year” – before deciding what you need to do or have A process of self-forgiveness designed to identify low-grade, limiting thoughts and beliefs and transform them into ones that are more empowering A “Game Face” exercise that can help you perform at your best in any situation To learn more about Devon and his programs, including his transformational weekend “GameChanger Experience,” visit https://devonbandison.com.

Within teams, organizations, and interpersonal relationships, creating an environment in which everyone feels free to express their ideas and opinions is crucial for achieving optimal results. However, people often hesitate to say what’s really on their minds, particularly if they believe that it may conflict with widely held views or expectations. The key to communicating more skillfully lies in finding your authentic voice, or the one that supports who you need to be in order to best serve a situation.  As the founder of Abella Consulting and Say It Skillfully Inc., Molly Tschang empowers senior management teams to win as one. With expertise in over 80 mergers and acquisitions, she has guided executives through the intricate human dynamics of transformational change and growth.

Win Together.” Her mission is to ensure that everyone is seen, heard, and understood to work better, work together, and drive real impact. In Episode 230 of The Mindset Game® podcast, Molly discusses the following: Common fears that may prevent people from speaking up, and actionable strategies for overcoming them A framework for getting grounded within yourself to identify who you authentically need to be in a given situation, tuning into others to see how they may be experiencing the situation, and coming together as a team in order to have more constructive conversations Practical tips for enhancing your communication skills — particularly when navigating challenging conversations To download Molly’s mini-audiobook, “Say It Skillfully: The Me-You-We Framework,” visit https://sayitskillfully.zoundy.com/me-you-we, or visit https://www.sayitskillfully.com to access her other resources.  To learn more about The Mindset Game® podcast, visit www.TheMindsetGame.com.

In today’s world, it often seems that conflict and division are widespread. However, over the course of human history, there have been many different phases on our evolutionary journey – and research indicates that we may now be on the precipice of shifting back toward greater unity.
