Justin Masterson on Emotional Maturity, Leadership, and Living with Intention

Wed, 11 Mar 2026 00:00:00 -0400

In this episode of The One Big Thing, I had the privilege of sitting down with former MLB pitcher and current high school coach Justin Masterson. You might know him from his days on the mound with the Red Sox, but what really struck me in our conversation was his heart for people and his deep insights on emotional maturity.

We talked about what it means to grow—not just as a leader or athlete, but as a human being. Justin shared how his definition of maturity has evolved into the ability to handle emotions well, especially in the face of hardship. Whether he's coaching teenagers, navigating marriage, or serving in his community, he’s learned that staying relational and grounded is key.

In this episode, we dive into:

The emotional weight athletes carry behind the scenes
How to lead with empathy and humility in high-pressure environments
Practical tools like the “CAKE” acronym and quieting techniques to regulate emotions
Why identity and belonging are essential for real transformation
Honest stories of failure, forgiveness, and fatherhood

I even share a personal story about a moment I blew it as a dad—and what it taught me about grace, humility, and the power of saying “I’m sorry.”

If you’re someone who wants to grow in emotional intelligence, lead with more compassion, or just be a better version of yourself, this episode is for you. We’re not aiming for perfection—just progress.

What True Discipleship Looks Like - with Paul Hassell

Wed, 11 Feb 2026 04:00:00 -0400

In this episode of The One Big Thing, I sit down with my friend Paul Hassell for one of the deepest and most challenging conversations I’ve had on this show. We talk honestly about discipleship — not as a church buzzword or an occasional coffee meeting, but as a way of life that actually shapes how we follow Jesus.

Paul shares how being truly discipled later in life changed everything for him, and why many believers feel like something is missing in their faith journey. We challenge the idea of comfortable Christianity and talk about what it means to live with intentionality, risk, and obedience — learning to represent Jesus in the world the way He intended.

This conversation stirred me personally. If you’ve ever felt like your walk with Jesus has stalled, or you love Him but sense there’s more, this episode may help you identify what’s been missing. We talk about spiritual disciplines, living out the Great Commission, and why discipleship is less about information and more about transformation.

My prayer is that this episode doesn’t just encourage you — but challenges you to take your next step with Jesus.

Listen in and ask yourself: what is the One Big Thing God is inviting you into right now?________________________________

Grace in the Middle of Chaos – with Grant Redmond

Wed, 28 Jan 2026 04:00:00 -0400

In this episode, I sit down with my friend Grant Redmond, a youth pastor, husband, father, basketball coach, and someone who carries a deep love for Jesus. Grant and I go to church together, and as I prayed about who to bring into this new season of the show, his name was one of the first the Lord placed on my heart.

Grant shares the one big thing Jesus is teaching him right now: grace in the middle of chaos. Whether it’s ministry, parenting, coaching, or simply navigating the noise of modern life, Grant has been learning how to walk with the Holy Spirit, slow down, and let grace make the first move — just as Jesus did for us.

We talk honestly about marriage, parenting, health challenges, and how God meets us in the practical decisions as much as the spiritual ones. Grant opens up about supporting his wife through a diabetes diagnosis, inviting community into their healing journey, and learning to trust God instead of worrying his way through uncertainty.

As a youth pastor, Grant also gives powerful insight into raising kids in today’s culture — a world filled with distraction, pressure, anxiety, and constant comparison. He shares the two foundational questions every parent should be asking, simple rhythms that build faith at home, and why presence and persistence matter more to teenagers than perfection.

If you’re a parent, a spouse, someone navigating a chaotic season, or someone needing to be reminded that God works in both the calm and the storm, this conversation will speak right to where you are.

Listen in and be encouraged — God is with you, grace is available, and you still have time to lead your family well.

When God Calls You Out of Your Comfort Zone — with Laken Kimsey

Wed, 14 Jan 2026 00:00:00 -0400

In this episode, I sit down with my good friend Laken Kimsey — a husband, father of three, former ministry leader, and the owner of Laken Lee Creative. Laken has been part of my journey behind the scenes for years, and now I finally get to share his heart, his story, and what Jesus is teaching him in this season.

Laken opens up about stepping out of the comfort of a steady salary and into the unknown of launching his own business — not to build an empire, but to follow the voice of God with full surrender. We talk about what it really means to trust the Lord when you can’t see the entire path, why obedience often feels like fear, and how God uses spouses, community, and quiet journaling moments to guide us one step at a time.

This conversation is honest, practical, and full of faith. If you’re in a season where God is asking you to step out, trust more deeply, or surrender what feels safe, Laken’s story will encourage you to believe that God is in every detail — and He’ll meet you on the other side of your “yes.”

Listen in and be reminded: God is faithful, and His light is always enough for the next step.

When Jesus Doesn’t Give You the Blueprint — with Rachel Hale

Wed, 31 Dec 2025 04:00:00 -0400

In this episode, I sit down with the incredible Rachel Hale, a singer/songwriter from Nashville and former American Idol finalist who loves Jesus deeply and is learning how to follow Him with courage in the entertainment world.

Rachel opens up about navigating the music industry as a Christian woman — especially the pressure to compromise values around purity, image, and identity. She shares stories of choosing kingdom convictions over cultural expectations, and how the Holy Spirit has taught her to lead even when there’s no blueprint for what God is asking her to do.

We discuss the tension of taking steps of faith when nothing makes sense on paper, and the courage it takes to stay obedient when you feel alone or misunderstood. Rachel also shares powerful moments where God spoke directly to her about her worth, her calling, and why “just because it sells doesn’t mean it’s valuable.”

If you’re in a season where you can’t see the next step, feel pressure to blend in, or wonder if you’re falling behind, Rachel’s story will remind you that God rewards obedience, He honors purity, and He always makes a way where there seems to be none.

Listen in and be encouraged — God is writing a story through your life that only you can carry.

What It Truly Means to Be One with Jesus — with Neil Broere

Wed, 17 Dec 2025 04:00:00 -0400

In this episode of The One Big Thing, I sit down with Neil Broere — pastor, writer, Bible teacher, and former missionary to Iraq — for one of the most profound conversations we’ve had on this show.

Neil shares what Jesus has been teaching him in this season: union with Christ. We talk about what it really means to be in Him — not just saved by Him, not just working for Him, but living from a place of oneness where everything else flows downstream. This conversation moves deep into obedience, suffering, faith, and what it looks like to trust God even when prayers feel unanswered.

Neil opens up about life on the mission field, raising a family in difficult environments, and how suffering becomes a gateway to intimacy with God rather than a sign of His absence. We wrestle honestly with hard questions: What happens when God doesn’t move the way we expect? How do we hold faith when the miracle doesn’t come? And how does suffering actually shape us into people who can carry the weight of God’s glory?

If you’re in a season of uncertainty, pain, transition, or deep questioning — this episode is for you. It’s a reminder that God is still good, Jesus is still present, and your suffering is never wasted.

Listen in and be encouraged — even if He doesn’t, He is still faithful. And He is still with you.

Before relocating to California in 2022, Neil and his wife, Lindsey, served as missionaries in Iraq for six years alongside their four children. That season deeply shaped their faith and reinforced their conviction that Jesus is exactly who He says He is — and that a life of obedience can radically transform individuals and families.

Neil is the author of Obedience, Suffering, & Reward, which reached #1 on Amazon’s Ecclesiology list and continues to rank among the top titles in the category. His upcoming book, LIMINAL: The Delicate Space Between Breaths, is scheduled for release in Spring 2026.

Through his weekly devotional Between Sundays, Neil shares reflections drawn from Scripture and life experience, focusing on themes such as identity in Christ, the power of the gospel, God’s design for the church, the kingdom of God, suffering and wilderness seasons, and the beauty of communion.

Slowing Down to Hear God’s Voice — with Andy Mason of Heaven in Business

Wed, 03 Dec 2025 04:00:00 -0400

In this episode of The One Big Thing, I sit down with my friend Andy Mason, founder of Heaven in Business, to talk about what it really means to walk with God — not just at church, but in every part of life.

Andy shares his incredible story of hearing God’s call to leave everything behind in New Zealand and start over in the United States. We talk about how to trust God when the next step isn’t clear, how to slow down enough to actually hear His voice, and what it means to live with a mandate that’s bigger than yourself.

This conversation reminded me that God moves at the pace of relationship — slow enough for us to walk beside Him. Whether you’re waiting on direction, wrestling with purpose, or learning how to yield control, this episode will encourage you to trust God’s timing and believe that He’s still leading you.

Listen in and be reminded: you’re not behind — you’re right where God needs you to be.

Rereleasing this episode as it fits the new format.

In this powerful and deeply personal episode, I had the opportunity to reconnect with a longtime friend, Kristen Campbell - a collegiate volleyball player turned mentor, nonprofit leader, and now founder of her own business.

Kristen opens up about the highs and lows of her journey: from feeling on top of the world in her career, to walking through the heartbreak of infertility and burnout, and ultimately taking a bold leap of faith into entrepreneurship.

Kristen shares how her unshakable faith and gift of encouragement have guided her through seasons of waiting, disappointment, and transformation. Her "One Big Thing"? Keep moving forward—no matter where you are or what you're facing.

This episode isn't about having it all figured out—it's about embracing the process, showing up with palms-up obedience, and trusting that God will either fulfill the desire in your heart or lovingly replace it with something better. Kristen’s story will resonate with anyone navigating change, wrestling with uncertainty, or seeking clarity in chaos.

Whether you're a parent, a spouse, a professional in transition, or someone sitting in a quiet moment wondering what now?—This conversation is for you.

Key Takeaways:

Why moving forward doesn’t always mean moving fast
How to listen for God's voice in the stillness and discomfort
Journaling and prayer as tools for discernment and surrender
Redefining success through seasons of waiting and transformation
The power of community, encouragement, and spiritual alignment

What Jesus Is Teaching Us Through Suffering — with Jake Kauffman

Wed, 19 Nov 2025 04:00:00 -0400

This episode marks a brand-new chapter for The One Big Thing. From here on out, every conversation will center on faith — on what Jesus is teaching us in this season of life.

I couldn’t think of a better person to start this new direction with than my friend Jake Kauffman.

Jake and I go deep on something that every believer eventually faces: the role of suffering and dependence in our walk with Jesus. We talk about what it means to trust God when life unravels, why true transformation often comes through pain, and how the wilderness seasons of life can actually draw us closer to Him.

You’ll hear Jake share his story of loss, healing, and renewal — and how God met him in the middle of it. We explore what spiritual maturity really looks like, the beauty of surrender, and why God’s favor often shows up in ways we don’t expect.

If you’re walking through a hard season or wondering where God is in the middle of your struggle, I want you to know — you’re not alone. God’s not done with you. Your story is still being written.

Listen in and be encouraged — Jesus is at work in your life too.

Keri Ford on Boundaries, Burnout, and Becoming Whole

Wed, 05 Nov 2025 00:00:00 -0400

What happens when success on the outside doesn’t match the peace you crave on the inside?

In this episode of The One Big Thing Podcast, I sit down with my friend and powerhouse leader, Keri Ford. Keri works with high-impact leaders, entrepreneurs, and parents to help them rewire their nervous systems, set healthy boundaries, and reclaim presence in a world that constantly demands more.

We dive into the hidden cost of always being “on,” the struggle of raising kids in a tech-saturated culture, and the weight leaders carry when their identity gets wrapped up in what they do instead of who they are. Keri doesn’t just share big-picture ideas—she gives us practical guardrails: no phones at the dinner table, paying attention to what we consume, and learning to ask better questions to truly connect with those around us.

If you’ve ever felt stretched thin by technology, distracted from the people that matter most, or caught chasing success that doesn’t satisfy, this conversation is for you.

Because at the end of the day, it’s not about being perfect—it’s about being present.

One Big Thing: Protect your input. Guard your mind, your time, and your presence—because the world needs the most authentic version of you.

We talk about his transition from football to launching the Legends of Tennessee nonprofit, where he’s empowering the next generation through sports, mentorship, education, and youth mental health programs

In this conversation, you’ll learn:

How to bounce back when life doesn’t go according to plan.
Why your legacy isn’t defined by stats, but by the lives you touch.
The importance of gratitude, community, and mentorship in building a meaningful life.
How sports can teach lessons far greater than the game itself.

Eric Chiofalo on Navigating the Death of Charlie Kirk and Impact on His Faith

Wed, 24 Sep 2025 00:00:00 -0400

This week on The One Big Thing Podcast, I sit down with my friend Eric Chiofalo — a husband, dad to three little girls, and sports radio host at 105.3 The Fan in Dallas.

If you’ve followed my journey, you know how much the Dallas Cowboys have always meant to me because of my dad. So having Eric on — someone I’ve admired from a distance — was really special. But this conversation went far deeper than sports.

Eric opened up about what’s been a heavy season for him following the shocking assassination of Charlie Kirk — someone he admired as a man of faith, a husband, and a father. We talked about the raw emotions of grief, the anger that’s bubbled up watching people celebrate tragedy, and what it looks like to keep our hearts aligned with God in the middle of heartbreak.

We dove into:

Wrestling with anger and choosing grace instead
How studying the Bible has reshaped Eric’s perspective on forgiveness
Building a daily rhythm of prayer, scripture, and honest conversations with God
Balancing public influence with private integrity — especially when the mic goes off
Learning to die to self as a husband and father, and bouncing back when we fall short

This wasn’t just a conversation about faith — it was about being human. About being men who are trying to raise families, steward our platforms well, and not lose sight of who we are in the process.

Eric’s honesty and humility reminded me that even in the public eye, we’re all just people trying to do our best, mess up less, and love well. My prayer is that this episode encourages you to keep going, to stay rooted, and to trust that God can use even the darkest moments to awaken something powerful in us.

If this episode stirs something in you, share it with a friend who might need it. And as always, thank you for listening to The One Big Thing Podcast.

Dr. Robert Kiltz on Faith, Fertility, and the Power of Mindset

Wed, 10 Sep 2025 00:00:00 -0400

In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Robert Kiltz, the founder and director of CNY Fertility, to talk about faith, mindset, and medicine. Dr. Kiltz’s story is incredible—he went from a tough childhood in Los Angeles, even spending time in a gang, to becoming one of the leading fertility specialists in the country.

What stood out to me in our conversation is how he sees hardship not as something to avoid, but as the very thing that shapes us into who we’re meant to be. He shares openly about the role of faith in God, the power of mindset, and how he weaves spirituality, nutrition, and lifestyle into his practice.

This conversation left me both inspired and challenged. If you’ve ever faced setbacks, wrestled with questions about faith, or wondered how to keep moving forward when life feels hard, I think Dr. Kiltz’s story and wisdom will encourage you. For anyone walking through infertility, his insights will also bring fresh hope and perspective.

Show Highlights:

Why he believes hardship is essential for growth—and how to reframe your challenges as blessings.
How nutrition and lifestyle changes, including his adoption of the carnivore diet, have transformed his life and practice.
The unique way CNY Fertility integrates medicine, spirituality, and holistic practices to support families.
Powerful stories of hope from couples who found healing and success against the odds.
The reminder that your story isn’t over—even when life takes unexpected turns like job loss, setbacks, or infertility struggles.

Morgan Vance on Rebuilding After Rock Bottom

Wed, 30 Jul 2025 00:00:00 -0400

This episode is one of those conversations that stays with you long after it ends. I sat down with my friend Morgan Vance, Executive Director of the Pat Summitt Foundation, and we talked about something that so many of us face but often feel alone in: what happens after you hit rock bottom?

Morgan opens up about walking through a painful divorce, the loneliness that followed, and the moment she found herself on her knees in her parents’ backyard, realizing she couldn’t do it on her own. But that wasn’t the end of her story — it was the beginning of a new one.

She shares how therapy, faith, and a simple bag of chips (yes, really) helped her rediscover joy and reclaim her identity. Her “one big thing”? That there’s always a reason to praise — even in the middle of the mess.

If you’re in a hard season right now — whether it’s divorce, depression, anxiety, or just feeling stuck — I want you to know you’re not alone. Morgan’s story is a reminder that healing is possible, joy is real, and sometimes the smallest moments can be the most powerful.

We also talk about the incredible work she’s doing through the Pat Summitt Foundation to support families impacted by Alzheimer’s, and how you can get connected if that’s part of your journey too.

Morgan is a proud wife and mother of five. She serves as the Executive Director of the Pat Summitt Foundation, charged with protecting the life and legacy of legendary women’s basketball coach Pat Summitt while advancing the organization’s mission in the fight against Alzheimer’s disease.

General Stan McChrystal on the Importance of Your Character

Wed, 02 Jul 2025 00:00:00 -0400

On this episode of The One Big Thing, I had the honor of sitting down with General Stanley McChrystal. You may know him as one of the most respected military leaders of our time, but in our conversation, we focused less on medals and missions and more on the thing that truly defines a life: character.

We talked about what it means to be a father, a grandfather, and a human being trying to live out your values in a complicated world. Stan shares how character isn't something we inherit—it's something we choose. And we don't just choose it once—we choose it daily, especially in the hard moments when no one else is watching.

We also got into:

Why your example matters more than your achievements
How to hold fast to who you are—even when the world feels loud, divided, and chaotic
What Stan learned from leading soldiers in war and grandkids in peacetime
How his book On Character: Choices That Define a Life came to be (and why it might help you rethink your own convictions)

Whether you're a parent, a leader, or someone simply trying to do the next right thing, I think this episode will meet you right where you are. This conversation reminded me that we all have a say in the kind of person we become—and that it’s never too late to start making better choices.

🧠 Your one big thing today? Character isn’t what you say—it’s who you are when no one’s looking. And you own that.

From humble beginnings in a broken home and working in a factory with no clear direction, to launching a successful car dealership and eventually stepping into full-time ministry at the age of 43, Pacer shares how his life has been shaped not by one defining moment, but by a series of small, faithful decisions.

Together, we unpack the significance of patience, perseverance, and obedience — especially when you don’t have a plan B. We discuss how to make difficult life decisions, the role of wise counsel, and how God confirms His direction in our lives, even when the details are unclear. Pacer also opens up about his unexpected call to prison ministry and the powerful impact it’s having across 35 jails.

Whether you’re leading a business, a family, or finding your way through a season of uncertainty, this episode offers real-world wisdom, spiritual insight, and hope for those asking, “What’s next for me?”

Key Takeaways:

Why success is often the result of doing “a lot of small things right”
The power of patience and staying faithful through long seasons
How to discern the difference between faith and foolishness in decision-making
Why seeking wise, experienced voices is crucial when you’re navigating big life changes
The beautiful story of how one church is restoring hope in prisons across the region

Addiction, Trauma & Transformation: Jeremy Graham's Story of Moving from Addict to Advocate

Wed, 07 May 2025 00:00:00 -0400

Today, we’re diving deep with Pastor Jeremy Graham of True Purpose Ministries to unpack one of the most misunderstood issues of our time: addiction. Jeremy shares his powerful journey from addiction to transformation, showing how healing goes far beyond behavior change—it starts from within.

We explore how unresolved trauma often fuels addiction, and why understanding that connection can be a game-changer. Addiction doesn't discriminate—it touches people of every background, whether it's drugs, alcohol, work, social media, food, or relationships. Even if you haven’t personally struggled with addiction, this episode sheds light on the universal ways we cope with pain.

Jeremy also speaks candidly about the traumatic experiences that shaped him, reminding survivors of molestation, rape, or other abuse that they are not alone—and that healing is possible.

This is more than a conversation about addiction; it’s a message of hope, empathy, and the power of transformation.

Key Takeaways:

Addiction isn't picky; it can affect anyone, regardless of background or appearance.
Trauma often leads to addiction, and recognizing this link is crucial for healing.
Many people mistakenly assume addiction only affects those with visible signs or a 'typical' profile.
The first step towards overcoming addiction is realizing that your life has become unmanageable.
Community and support are vital; sharing your struggles can help break the cycle of addiction.

Today we're diving into the world of leadership and consistency with Nick Sorrenti, owner of Studio 11 Barbershop, who believes that when you’re not feeling motivated, the secret sauce is all about staying consistent!

This isn’t just a story about haircuts; it’s about leadership, community, and the ups and downs of entrepreneurship. Nick shares his early days, where a simple favor of giving haircuts to college buddies spiraled into a full-blown career. He never set out to be a barbershop owner – it just kind of happened!

But here’s the kicker: Nick believes being a boss is overrated. He prefers to see himself as a leader, someone who empowers his team instead of just barking orders. He talks about the weight of responsibility he feels as the owner of Studio 11, with the lives of 25 families in his hands. It’s a lot, but Nick thrives under the pressure, viewing it as a chance to grow. He passionately discusses the importance of accountability and collaboration, creating a culture where everyone supports each other – and it shows!

Towards the end of our chat, Nick drops some golden nuggets of wisdom. He introduces a cool concept he calls the 'traffic light system' for communication, a way for his team to express how they’re feeling without any awkwardness. It’s all about keeping the lines of communication open and building a supportive environment. So whether you're running a business or just trying to get through life’s challenges, Nick’s insights will stick with you. This episode is a must-listen for anyone looking to lead with heart and hustle!

Takeaways:

✂️ In this episode, we dive into the idea that being a leader means building a supportive team, not just being the boss; accountability flows both ways!

✂️ Nick emphasizes that pressure is a privilege because it pushes you to grow, especially when you're responsible for others' livelihoods.

✂️ The key takeaway is to be consistent, even when motivation dips; creating systems in life and business can help keep you on track.

✂️ Nick's journey into barbering began unexpectedly at a summer camp, showcasing how passions can evolve in the most surprising ways!

✂️ A unique traffic light system is introduced for communication, allowing team members to express their emotional state and needs effectively.

✂️ Finding a spiritual mentor can be pivotal; having someone to guide you through challenges can help you stay grounded and focused.

Find a way, every day, to find the good - no matter how hard it is, find the good!

Balance or Burnout? Dave Richards Share Insights Executives Pay For

Wed, 18 Sep 2024 00:00:00 -0400

Welcome back to The One Big Thing! Join me as I sit down with Dave Richards, CEO of Elite Performance Associates. Dave is a business coach, consultant, and speaker who works with top leaders across the nation. But what I love most about this conversation is how real and practical it gets—not just about business growth, but about life, family, and the daily choices that shape who we become.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

✅ Why leadership is really about seeing people, not just being visible.

✅ How to identify and manage the “four burners” of life—physical, relational, business, and spiritual.

✅ The role accountability plays in true transformation (and why it isn’t punishment).

✅ How to break free from negative self-talk and build habits that actually stick.

✅ Why the people you surround yourself with will determine your direction in life.

Dave’s story is one of courage—walking away from a 23-year career to follow a calling—and the tools he shares can help you take inventory of your own life, refocus your priorities, and make small but powerful changes.

This episode is full of wisdom for leaders, parents, spouses, and anyone chasing growth without losing what matters most.

Rabbi Yonason Goldson on Grappling with the Gray

Wed, 20 Mar 2024 04:00:00 -0400

Imagine grasping the essence of ethical leadership while nurturing a sense of humility. Rabbi Yonason Goldson joins me in unraveling this delicate balance through Jewish teachings, inviting us to carry the paradoxical notes of our significance and modesty in the universe. We navigate the virtues that bind us, fostering a culture of trust and productivity, particularly resonant for parents and individuals on their journeys of personal growth. Yonason's rich background in Jewish philosophy and ethics sheds light on creating vibrant, ethical cultures in both professional and personal spaces.

The digital era: a double-edged sword that can both connect us and keep us apart. Together, Yonasan and I reflect on the impact of the global pandemic, our craving for deep connections, and the role of technology as a bridge in our isolated times. Personal stories, including experiences from Israel, illustrate our shared need for reflection and connection. We tackle the pressing issue of technology addiction, the tug-of-war within our brains, and the discipline required to find balance amidst life's relentless choices, emphasizing the importance of intentionality in every swipe, click, and interaction.

In the final chapters, we draw inspiration from historical figures like Jonathan Edwards, exploring how our everyday choices could ripple through generations, shaping legacies and fostering resilience. The conversation turns towards civility, personal purpose, and the transient nature of existence, urging us to act intentionally and leave a lasting mark.

Join us for this episode as Yonason Goldson reminds us to embrace the fleeting nature of time while striving for a greatness that transcends our temporal journey.

Dr. Amber Selking on Developing a Championship Mindset

Wed, 06 Mar 2024 04:00:00 -0400

When Amber Selking steps onto the field, she doesn't just see the game; she sees the potential for mental metamorphosis. This episode of the One Big Thing podcast is like sitting down with a dear friend who happens to be a whiz at applied sports psychology and understanding the intricate dance between mindset, performance, and faith. Amber's journey from the soccer fields of Notre Dame to a corporate career and back to the sports arena, armed with a Ph.D. and a bible, provides a striking backdrop for a conversation that entwines the discipline of athletes with the daily hurdles we all face.

As someone who has felt the sting of an ACL injury and the identity shifts that come with life's great upheavals, I've learned that resilience isn't just for the playing field—it's for parenting, business, and personal growth. Together with Amber, we discuss the unspoken challenges of mental health in a world where social media often blurs the lines between seeking help and seeking attention. We share stories, laugh about the messiness of family life, and explore the Mental Performance Playbook she devised to tackle emotional control—a skill that's not just for athletes but for everyone who's ever lost their cool when life threw a curveball.

This conversation isn't just about finding balance; it's about finding purpose in the chaos and joy in the journey. We touch on the importance of aligning actions with values, the transformative practice of incremental improvement, and the art of pressing pause to appreciate the present. If you're ready to reframe your thinking and level up your mental fitness, let this heart-to-heart with Dr. Amber Selking be your guide. We're peeling back the layers of mental health, performance, and personal fulfillment.

Life After Sugar with Netta Gorman

Wed, 13 Dec 2023 04:00:00 -0400

What happens when you decide to say goodbye to sugar? Meet Netta Gorman, a sugar-free lifestyle coach from Quebec, Canada, who walks us down the path of a life transformed by a sugar-free diet. From sharing her personal journey of the positive changes she experienced - physically and mentally - by eliminating sugar and flour, to discussing the practical aspects of making such dietary shifts, Netta offers a wealth of insights. But, this isn't just a conversation about diet; it's about reshaping our beliefs about food and cultivating a mindset that sets us free.

Moving beyond the health benefits, we explore the profound effects of a sugar-free lifestyle on overall wellbeing. We discuss the importance of mindfulness, positive mindsets, and how reducing sugar intake can liberate us in more ways than one. As we wrap up our insightful conversation, we touch on practical challenges - family preferences, meal prepping, and children's nutrition. We also highlight the power of intermittent fasting and the benefits of embracing a wholesome approach to food.

This is a journey of transformation that invites us to take charge of our bodies and our minds.

About Netta Gorman

I'm Netta, and I know what it's like to feel like you can't control your cravings. Up until my mid-40s, my weight kept creeping up, and I wondered: "Will I ever feel in control around food?"

I also started to struggle with constipation, joint pain, relentless fatigue, headaches, and uncomfortable bloating. I felt hopeless.

When I was 45, I decided to take matters into my own hands and try something I'd never tried before. My dream was to get rid of my cravings, fit easily into my clothes, live pain-free and bloat-free, and get my energy back.

But I didn't know how. One day my brother told me about a nutritional therapist he worked with, so I took a chance and met with her. She suggested I cut sugar, flour and all sweeteners for two weeks.

So I decided to cut sugar, sweeteners, and flour. I was so blown away by my results that I decided to mentor and guide midlife women through the same transformation that I had experienced.

Today, I teach women over 50 how to ditch cravings so that they can slim down and finally feel in control around food.
