Achieve Your Goals with Hal Elrod

If you've been feeling emotionally drained from relationship conflict or disagreeing with people that you love, this episode is for you. Despite how technology and social media have made it incredibly easy to stay connected with family, friends, and our communities, many people feel more divided and disconnected than ever.
That's why I'm thrilled to introduce you to Kelsey Blahnik, a clinical social worker and therapist who works on the front lines of emotional and relational tension. From families and friendships to workplaces, in our increasingly divided political culture, Kelsey helps people navigate conflict without losing themselves or the people they care about.
Kelsey is the creator and author of The And Way: Assertive Peacemaking in a Divided World, a powerful therapeutic framework that challenges conventional behavior. She explains that most of us believe we have only two options in conflict—fight or flight—when, in reality, there's nuance to consider when choosing the best path forward. We explore how to set boundaries without burning bridges, speak your truth without escalating tension, and how to hold both accountability and compassion at the same time.
If polarized relationships, "either/or" thinking, and day-to-day conversations are adding stress to your life, this episode will give you a practical way to navigate conflict with clarity, self-respect, and inner peace.

If you've ever felt trapped in your own thoughts, frustrated by repeating emotional patterns, or exhausted from chasing happiness that never quite lasts, this episode will challenge everything you think you know about personal growth. As today's guest reveals, a lot of our suffering doesn't come from our circumstances—it comes from the unconscious beliefs that shape how we experience reality.
Aaron Abke is a spiritual teacher, founder of 4D University, and the author of The Three Beliefs of Ego: A Sufferer's Guide to Freedom. With a background in theology, a masters degree in biblical studies, and millions of followers drawn to his thought-provoking teachings, Aaron offers a rare ability to bridge psychology, spirituality, and ancient wisdom in a way that's both deeply grounded and radically freeing.
In our conversation, Aaron breaks down the three (3) core ego beliefs and explains how they quietly drive anxiety and inner conflict. We explore why happiness rooted in outcomes often falls short, how ego resists reality, and why true peace begins when we stop fighting life as it is.
If you're ready to leave your mental struggles in the past and experience a deeper sense of inner peace, this episode offers a powerful new perspective. Enjoy!

As the digital world of AI accelerates faster than ever, it's tempting to automate, optimize, and outsource nearly every part of our lives. But what if the path we're on is, ironically, pulling us further away from a meaningful life and genuine happiness? 
In this episode, I had the pleasure of sitting down with my good friend Ryan Levesque to explore a powerful, yet contrarian concept he calls Return to Real—and why it may be the thing we need most when AI is making us feel more disconnected than ever before.
Ryan is a renowned entrepreneur, author, and creator of the ASK Method, who has built and scaled several successful companies. His perspective weaves together business strategies, neuroscience, ecology, and spirituality to challenge how we've come to define success and what leads to true happiness and fulfillment.
In our conversation, Ryan breaks down three (3) transformative shifts for living well in the age of AI. He explains why the best things in life don't scale, why optimizing for oxytocin is more important than chasing dopamine, and why reconnecting with nature restores clarity, creativity, and purpose. 
If you've been feeling overwhelmed or disconnected in the digital world that's changing faster than ever, this episode is an invitation to return to what's real.

If you've ever struggled with challenges in your relationships, emotional triggers, or just feeling stuck in old patterns, you're not alone. Those cycles are hard to break, and it often feels like no matter how hard you try, you end up repeating the same behaviors, sabotaging your goals with limiting beliefs. But as today's guest reveals, you're not broken; this is your subconscious telling you that you're ready to heal.
Thais Gibson, PhD, is an author, researcher, and founder of The Personal Development School, whose groundbreaking work has helped millions of people unravel emotional blocks, heal core wounds, and defeat the limiting beliefs that quietly sabotage our lives. Thais is certified in more than a dozen therapeutic modalities and has an extraordinary ability to take complex neuroscience and translate it into simple, actionable tools that anyone can use to change their life from the inside out.
In our conversation, Thais explains the science behind why we get stuck, how childhood conditioning shapes our adult identity, and why willpower alone will never prevail when your subconscious beliefs are working against you. 
Thais also shares a powerful 21-day reprogramming method and her step-by-step process for creating lasting emotional and behavioral changes. If you've been feeling overwhelmed, frustrated, or stuck in your personal growth, this episode will show you how to reclaim your confidence and inner strength, and you can get started today.

During the holiday season, many people break from their daily routines by staying up late, having drinks, and overeating, and tell themselves they'll get serious again on January 1st. But if you want next year to be the best year of your life, waiting until the new year to begin is one of the biggest mistakes you can make. 
In today's episode, I'm sharing why the final weeks of the year are your greatest opportunity to prepare mentally, physically, emotionally, and spiritually for the future you want to create. The truth is, the decisions you make in December will undoubtedly impact the momentum, mindset, and confidence you carry into the new year.
I'll also walk you through some of the practices I'm focusing on right now, including my commitment to 30 minutes of silence every day for 30 days, and how listening to that voice—call it your intuition, your soul, or divine downloads from God—can guide you to make decisions that align with what matters most.
Finally, I'll show you how to use your Miracle Morning with a specific year-end focus that will help you start the new year with clarity, momentum, and purpose, to make 2026 the best year of your life.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
Why preparing for your best year ever begins before January 1st.
How December habits create momentum, confidence, and clarity for the new year.
The role of reflection and journaling in closing out your year with intention.
Why listening to your intuition can align you with what matters most.
How to use your Miracle Morning to intentionally prepare for 2026.
