  • Claiming Your Power

    Claiming Your Power
    Jul 17 2025

    We may be adults, but a lot of us are still living in emotional childhood—blaming others for how we feel and how we act. When you give other people control over your emotions, you give away your power.

    In this episode, we're breaking down what it means to take responsibility for your emotions and why it is fundamental if you want true freedom, stronger relationships, and genuine self-confidence. We’ll share personal stories of when we were stuck in emotional immaturity and how we learned to take responsibility for our emotions

    We’re covering:

    • The difference between emotional immaturity and emotional maturity
    • Why blaming others keeps you miserable and powerless
    • What it really means to own your emotions without beating yourself up
    • How this skill improves your relationships, confidence, and inner peace
    • How we learned the skill of emotional responsibility
    • Where we still struggle and how we handle it

    This isn’t about being perfect. It's about waking up, stepping up, and taking your power back.

    How to Soften the Inner Critic
    Jul 10 2025
    In this episode, Matt speaks with author and love advocate, Scott Stabile. Together, they break down the psycho-spiritual aspects of the inner critic and how to best work with it from a place of love. If you are someone who is hard on yourself and has a tough time finding self-love and self-compassion, this episode will help you develop greater awareness of your inner critic, where self-judgment originates, and how you can start practicing more acceptance of yourself and others through presence, love, and compassion. The concepts and questions we explore in this episode are: How do you define love and self-love/compassion?Do you believe it's possible to transcend self-judgment?What does self-compassion look like?How does prioritizing self-love/compassion serve the world outside of yourself?Are there specific tools or techniques you can recommend to foster deeper self-compassion and self-love?How do you feel, if at all, that lack of self-compassion is contributing to the insanity and division we're seeing in our world?

  • Feeling Your Emotions

    Feeling Your Emotions
    Jul 3 2025

    What happens when we avoid feeling our emotions? In this episode, we explore the importance of emotional awareness: tuning in instead of checking out. We share what happens when we suppress our feelings, and how to navigate the tough ones with compassion and care.

    We also explore:

    • The link between emotional avoidance and things like addiction, depression, and burnout
    • What blocks us from feeling our emotions
    • Practical ways to process emotions that feel overwhelming or uncomfortable
    • The power of self-compassion in emotional healing
    • Why learning to feel your emotions leads to more empathy, connection, and confidence

    Whether you’re someone who bottles it all up or someone who feels everything all at once, this conversation will give you insight and tools to better understand yourself and others.
