This week's "You Can Handle Anything" is going to be slightly different than usual. Instead of sharing one of my stories, I'm going to share with you someone else's. And that "someone else" is the actor, Andrew McCarthy. I'm going to dive into the intriguing story of Andrew McCarthy and the infamous "Brat Pack" label that shaped his career. The film captures his journey as he revisits old friends and questions whether the label or his reaction to it caused more harm. It’s a powerful example of how external labels can trap us, and what it takes to break free and reclaim our identity. Click here ..read more

In this episode of "You Can Handle Anything," I explore the heavy and often sneaky nature of guilt, sharing a personal story from a recent family dinner. After deciding not to partake in desserts my mom made, I was unexpectedly overwhelmed by guilt, despite making a simple, healthy choice for myself. Guilt is a complex emotion that can quickly transform into self-resentment, reminding us that we're often our own harshest critics. During the podcast, I discuss how emotions are essentially energy in motion and how they can change, sometimes needing guidance to move in a constructive direction. I ..read more

Have you ever felt incredibly strongly about something, only to find yourself talking to someone who sees things the exact opposite way? Or maybe they just can’t see your side at all? It’s beyond frustrating. You might argue back and forth, but no matter what you say, they don’t budge. It feels like you’re the only one suffering, but it’s likely tough for them, too. This is what unfolded for me last week with one of my kids, following up on last week's podcast episode where we clashed over something I found quite unethical. I turned to The unSTUCK Method to escape that frustrating deadlock bec ..read more

Ever felt stuck on how to respond when someone close does something you disagree with? Reacting impulsively can damage relationships and make you regret your actions, while staying silent might leave you feeling like a doormat. Here's a tip: try asking for permission to share your feelings. It’s a respectful way to communicate without overstepping, and if they’re not open to it, you need to respect their choice. I faced a similar dilemma with my son recently. He sent a video from California that I found disappointing and unethical. Conflicted about how to respond, I used the unSTUCK Method. Wa ..read more

Ever wake up feeling weighed down by regret over something you did yesterday? ? It's a heavy feeling, and it can linger all day—or even longer. This hit me hard after a recent Father's Day celebration. We planned to spend the day with extended family, about 3 hours from my parents' house. I decided to go, even though it meant rescheduling a regular Zoom coaching call. All was well until things ran late, and I had to leave early to make it home in time for my call. That's when the guilt kicked in, quickly turning into regret. I kept thinking, I shouldn’t have gone. And believing it too. Repeati ..read more

In this episode of "You Can Handle Anything," I delve into one of the most common but overlooked issues in relationships: the "rulebooks" we create for others. These are the expectations we set about how people should act, speak, and behave—like putting away shoes or doing dishes. Often, the other person is unaware of these rules, leading to frustration and resentment when they don't comply. Discover how recognizing and potentially letting go of these rulebooks can transform your relationships, preventing unnecessary conflict and fostering better understanding.

Ever catch yourself thinking, "I wish I could..." or "I wish I had..."? ? Those aren't just daydreams; they're powerful desires pointing you toward your destiny. Most of us try to chase these dreams by setting goals. But here's the tough truth: most people don't achieve them. Why? Well, I want to share two big reasons: They get hyper-focused on the end result, instead of falling in love with the process and the identity shift that occurs along the way. ? When emotional roadblocks pop up, they give up instead of pushing through. ? It's a real shame, because it doesn’t have to be this way.&nbs ..read more
