Unlocking the Power of Choice with Dr. Jade Teta

In episode 291, I had the privilege of sitting down with Dr. Jade Teta, a naturopathic physician, fitness expert, and author, to dive deep into the transformative power of choice. We talk about how the choices we make – consciously or unconsciously – shape our lives, relationships, and even our growth.
Key Insights:
Awareness is the First Step: Jade highlights how understanding our past patterns and unconscious decisions is the starting point for true empowerment. When we recognize the unconscious stories that shape us, we can take control of our narrative.
Emotional Guidance with AFRAID: Jade introduced the AFRAID acronym – Anger, Frustration, Resistance, Anxiety, Insecurity, and Depression. These emotions, often tied to our unconscious stories, can dictate our decisions. The trick? Feel them fully, but don’t let them run the show.
Choosing Growth Over Comfort: We often choose comfort over change, but Jade reminds us that growth comes when we step into discomfort. If we keep choosing the same old path, we stay stuck in negative patterns. But when we embrace discomfort, that’s when the magic happens.
Relationship Growth: Jade and I talk about how relationships can either elevate or hold us back. Sometimes, we have to make a choice: reframe and redefine the relationship for mutual growth, or let go for both to flourish. Either way, it’s about growing.
Radical Accountability: Jade emphasizes the importance of taking responsibility for our actions, emotions, and perceptions. He introduces the concept of radical accountability—owning it all. Setting healthy boundaries and recognizing that no one is responsible for our feelings but us is key to growth.
Rethinking Romance: We explore the traditional "you complete me" narrative and propose a shift to "you grow me." Relationships should be about mutual growth, not completion. This shift can create more depth and connection in your partnerships.
Living Authentically: Jade shares his views on the four major human drives: Power, Popularity, Pleasure, and Purpose. He encourages us to be true to our next-level selves and not fall into the trap of societal expectations. It’s all about authenticity.
Proactive Engagement with Life: Instead of accepting that “everything happens for a reason,” Jade urges us to actively create meaning and purpose in our lives. We are the creators of our own journey, and it’s time to own that responsibility.

Final Thoughts:
I’m so grateful for Jade’s wisdom in this episode. It’s a powerful reminder that we have the ability to choose our path and take control of our own growth. Whether it's in relationships, career, or personal development, we have the power to create change. Take responsibility for your choices, recognize your emotional patterns, and step into continuous growth.
Tune in to this episode for a profound conversation that’ll leave you feeling empowered and ready to make the next move on your path.

ENCORE Why You Don’t Need a Coach But Why You May Want One

In episode 290, we revisit episode 180, where Lisa dives into why hiring a 1:1 coach is the fastest way to results and the mindset that is probably holding you back.  In an era of self-help books and group programs at every turn, why is it that so many of you remain stuck when you "know" the thing holding you back?  Have you ever considered that the belief you "should" have it figured out on your own IS the block keeping you stuck from taking action?  That you're so focused on the problem you think you have that you're not able to see the problem you actually have?
Today's episode talks about the framework Lisa uses with her clients to get them to a place of taking action, and why her clients get the phenomenal results they do.
This is a hard hitting episode that will challenge you to ask yourself tough questions about working with a coach and what might be possible for you if you started working from the perspective that you know nothing.
