394. Balancing Personal Growth While In A Relationship (My Guest Appearance on “Full Frontal Living” with Lisa Carpenter)
March 20, 2024 06:22 - 58 minutes - 80.1 MBThe balance of personal growth and contributing to a thriving romantic relationship is all about being comfortable in your own skin, without seeking external validation, yet embracing our innate need for connection. It’s independence and interdependence…but not co-dependence. I’m such a believer in this that I co-wrote an entire book about it called “You Grow Me” (link to buy below). This episode is a cross-podcast with Lisa Carpenter’s “Full Frontal Living” podcast (find it here). Lis...
393. Why Being Is So Much More Attractive Than Doing
March 13, 2024 06:22 - 19 minutes - 27.3 MBWhen it comes to our personal growth and development, many people get caught in a trap of “doing” instead of “being.” Doing is when we learn the things, do the homework, and then force our actions based on doing exactly what we think we’re expected to…even if it feels inauthentic. But in order for the work to actually work, we have to embody it. We have to literally BE it. And to do that, we have to lean as hard as possible into our most authentic self. Today we’re breaking down how to...
392. Surprising Signs of True Emotional Intimacy
March 05, 2024 07:22 - 26 minutes - 36.1 MBWhen we talk about how safe and secure we feel with someone we’re in a relationship with - romantic or other - we’re talking about emotional intimacy. It’s that deep connection we create and maintain with the truest version of both they and ourselves. Today, I'm going to list 16 surprising signs of true emotional intimacy. Surprising because they involve levels of both strength and vulnerability that aren’t often covered in the usual curriculum of personal development. In this episode, w...
391. Repairing Conflict in Your Relationship with Kelly Gardner
February 27, 2024 07:22 - 1 hour - 104 MBConflict is going to happen in a healthy relationship. And more often than not, conflict starts with something laughably small - from doing dishes, to making food, and even how to decoratively light a podcast. But underneath the menial cause of conflict always lies a much deeper need that isn’t being met. I’m joined on this episode by my partner, Kelly Gardner, a Relationship Coach and Men’s Group Facilitator, and as you’ll hear, we couldn't even record this podcast without a small confli...
390. My new book “You Grow Me” is out today! (Free preview of Chapter 1)
February 14, 2024 07:22 - 41 minutes - 56.9 MBToday, I am so thrilled to announce the release of my first book “You Grow Me: The Next Level Human Philosophy of Love, Sex and Romantic Connection” co-authored with my dear friend, Dr. Jade Teta. It's all about creating growth-oriented relationships, rather than getting caught in the trap of “you complete me” and relying on other people, particularly our romantic partners, to fulfill our needs and happiness. This book leaves the bulls**t Hollywood love stories, Rom Coms, and Disney nonsen...
389. Life Is Full of Uncertainty, But You’re Gonna Be OK with Lisa Carpenter
January 30, 2024 07:22 - 1 hour - 94.9 MBFear is basically uncertainty. It’s having no idea or proof of our own capability to handle the unknown. So how do we learn to overcome fear and simply trust ourselves that we have everything we need to handle any uncertainty? That’s where coaches like Lisa Carpenter come in. Lisa Carpenter is a remarkable coach who has changed my life in so many ways. She's the host of the Full Frontal Living podcast and has worked with thousands of people - seeing their depths, bringing out their best ...
388. Ways We Intellectualize Our Feelings Instead Of Feeling Them
January 23, 2024 07:22 - 21 minutes - 29.2 MBWhen we overthink our emotions, we under-feel them. This can have major consequences on both our relationships and our personal growth. Too often when faced with a negative or traumatic emotion, we intellectualize how we are feeling instead of allowing ourselves to accept, allow and feel it. And by suppressing the bad stuff, we fail to fully learn how to feel the good stuff - the spectrum of emotions are what make up the beautiful, complete human experience. This episode will teach you...
387. Coaching Call: Break Down Your Walls and Finally Let Them In
January 18, 2024 07:22 - 1 hour - 104 MBSomething new on the Room To Grow™ podcast for 2024: allowing you into some of my real life, unedited coaching calls with clients.

386. Be Unreasonable In Fighting For The Life You Want
January 15, 2024 18:36 - 30 minutes - 41.5 MBIt’s time to start fighting unreasonably hard for the life you want. I want this first episode of the New Year to remind you that waiting for things to feel easier, clearer and less scary are preventing you from taking the first messy, but critical steps in the right direction. Even if you don’t have the end figured out, sitting around hoping everything will eventually manifest itself isn’t doing anything. I’m also sharing a couple new announcements for the Room To Grow™ podcast, news a...
385. How Much Do You Value Yourself?
December 15, 2023 07:22 - 36 minutes - 50.2 MBThe most dangerous thing you can possess is self worth. Because from self worth comes freedom and empowerment to choose exactly what and who you want in your life. But because we live in a world that teaches us to look outside of ourselves for validation, accolades, approval, self-worth can be a major struggle. But when we stop auditioning for the approval of others and instead go inward and trust our own worth, it gives us the confidence to state our value to others. This episode is al...
384. Captain Save-A-Hoe & Queen Change-A-Dick: Lifelong Patterns That Harm Our Relationships with Kelly Gardner
December 08, 2023 13:30 - 1 hour - 95.9 MBIt’s tempting to want to play the role of “superhero” in a relationship - the guardian, the savior, the teacher, or the protector. But over-prioritizing their needs over your own often has a villainous effect on a healthy relationship. Because if all of your focus is on their safety, wellbeing and nurturing, you then neglect what’s more important - your own. My partner, Kelly Gardner, a Relationship Coach and Men’s Group Facilitator, and I have identified two (comically labeled) archetype...
383. I Need Your Help
October 28, 2023 13:16 - 11 minutes - 15.7 MBI'm practicing something that's very uncomfortable for me: asking for what I need. Maybe you can relate. It's scary, because when we ask for something, it can bring up all kinds of issues for us. Old stories from childhood. Risk of judgement, rejection or abandonment. It's something I've spent most of my life avoiding, and instead convincing myself that I can hold it down myself without needing anything from anyone. Right now I'm in the middle of a two-weekend leadership intensive that...
382. Not Expressing Your Emotions is Dishonest
October 13, 2023 06:22 - 16 minutes - 11.5 MBThe only thing more painful than brutal honesty is dishonesty. If we’re holding in our true emotions to avoid tough conversations, judgment or rocking the boat, we’re actually hurting our relationship more than helping it. Expressing how you are feeling is where trust is built and where relationships thrive. If you’re not being truly honest in your relationship, it will disintegrate over time, guaranteed. Honesty can be a tough pill to swallow. But the foundation of trust that comes with...
381. Nothing is Missing: Love, Freedom from Within & Living Boldly with Nicole Walters
October 10, 2023 06:22 - 52 minutes - 36 MBNicole Walters has built an empire from virtually nothing. From growing up in poverty, to adopting 3 children off the street, creating a multi-million dollar business, a TV show, podcast and now the release of her new book “Nothing Is Missing: A Memoir Of Living Boldly” she’s helped to inspire others by teaching everyday people how to own their power and trust they already have everything they need to succeed. This incredible (and wildly energetic) conversation centers around love, divorce...
380. Reconnecting with Yourself: The Foundational Tools
September 28, 2023 06:22 - 12 minutes - 8.36 MBThe next time you find yourself feeling down, lost, full of anxiety or just energetically off, it’s time to get back to the basics and reconnect with yourself. This episode covers 6 key questions to ask the next time you just don’t feel like yourself: Are you laughing? Are you sleeping? Are you moving? Are you nourished? Are you creating? What are you consuming? …and I’m not just talking about eating better. Our constant ingestion of information, misinformation, opinions, comm...
379. Accepting and Embracing ADHD in a Relationship with Aaron Bailey
September 19, 2023 06:22 - 1 hour - 41.3 MBFrom forgetting simple household chores to getting distracted during sex, adult ADHD can have a tremendous impact on a relationship. Today, we’re talking with ADHD Life Coach, Aaron Bailey about the frustrations, workarounds and ways of building a strong relationship with someone with ADHD. In some ways, a partner can feel more like a parent. But that’s where patience, knowledge and communication become necessary in order to build strategies for living with ADHD in a relationship. As a ...
378. The Confidence You’ve Been Looking For
September 14, 2023 06:22 - 14 minutes - 10.2 MBWhen it comes to confidence, we can too often sit in a state of waiting - waiting for something to magically happen or shift to finally get over our fears and anxieties. But confidence is something that has to be built, honed and practiced. And the only way to practice is to simply do the thing for the first time, no matter how scary. Today we’re talking about how to build the confidence to pursue your next big thing, be it a career, personal goal or relationship. Are you missing out bec...
377. Hope After Heartbreak: Our Love Story with Kelly Gardner
September 07, 2023 06:22 - 1 hour - 53.5 MBMy guest on this episode is my partner, Kelly Gardner. He and I met when he was a guest on this podcast (Episode #359 “Building A Community Of Better & More Present Fathers” With Kelly Gardner) talking about his work as a Personal Growth Coach and Men’s Group Facilitator. At the time, it was just an interview. But, things quickly changed, and I can honestly say this is the best romantic relationship I’ve ever experienced. I want to share our relationship story - one that involves long di...
376. Stop Dating Inconsistent People
August 29, 2023 06:22 - 25 minutes - 17.4 MBWhen we try to force a relationship with someone who isn’t a good fit, it’s time to do some serious work on our own self-worth. People often end up “chasing” the same type over and over, hoping they’ll uncover something about ourselves we just aren’t seeing. But to have a healthy relationship with someone else, we first need to recognize our own innate self worth - with and without them. It may involve a painful decision to let go, but it’s a whole lot harder and more painful trying to co...
375. Can You Trust Him More?
August 22, 2023 06:22 - 21 minutes - 14.6 MBTrust is like the oxygen that fans the flames of a relationship. When you can fully grant trust to your partner, it allows each of you to fill each other’s needs within the relationship. Not trusting your partner is often not a sign of their untrustworthiness, rather lack of trust in yourself - which is where the work then needs to happen. Today we’re talking all about the beautiful benefits of trusting your partner - particularly when it comes to filling their own personal needs and yo...
374. Are Your Hormones Affecting Your Relationships? with Andrew Costa
August 15, 2023 06:22 - 52 minutes - 36.2 MBUsually when we think about hormones, we think about mood swings, bloating and weight gain. But our hormones play a massive factor in everything from emotional control, to alleviating pain, bloating and inflammation, better sleep, steadier eating patterns, stress management and sex drive. And knowing how to control our hormones means having much greater control over how we show up physically, mentally and emotionally in our relationships. Here, we’re talking with Andrew Costa, Registere...
373. The Healing Power of Writing with Dr. Jade Teta
August 09, 2023 06:22 - 1 hour - 42.7 MBWriting is one of the most powerful things you can do to heal and grow. Having just penned a book on relationships (coming spring 2024) with my incredible friend and host of the Next Level Human podcast, Dr. Jade Teta, we’re taking you behind the scenes to explain the whirlwind physical and emotional process of writing an entire book in just 9 days. But we’re not just talking about outlines, story arcs and editing (although we do get into all that). Here, Jade and I are preparing you for t...
372. How to Communicate with an Open Heart (2 Questions To Ask Yourself)
July 24, 2023 06:22 - 15 minutes - 10.4 MBThis short episode covers two very fundamental questions I ask my self routinely that have completely changed my relationships and the way I communicate: Am I acting out of fear or out of love right now? How can I show up in a way right now that I’ll be proud of 5, 10, 20 years from now? Both questions likely require a lot of unpacking, vulnerability and digging inside to face some hard truths. But If we can get clear on the type of person we want to be, we can equip ourselves to commun...
371. Learning to Open & Receive Love In A Healthy Relationship
July 12, 2023 06:22 - 39 minutes - 27 MBLike the saying “once burned, twice shy,” a healthy relationship can be hard to trust if you’ve been burned in the past. The best relationships might even bring up more resistance because they can feel like unfamiliar territory. But one of the best things we can do to heal from past scars is to lay our defenses down and be open to allowing love and all its potential beauty the chance to come in. This episode is about not allowing yourself to push away something great, just because you’...
370. How to Date Well [Emily is Interviewed by Lisa K]
June 01, 2023 06:22 - 57 minutes - 39.7 MBThis time, I’m answering the questions. This special episode of Room to Grow™ was taken from my guest appearance on the Between Heaven and Earth podcast hosted by Intuitive Coach, Lisa K. Lisa invited me on her show to talk about how to successfully approach dating, including how self love, intuition, trust, loneliness and playfulness all play a major factor in both new and long-term relationships. I also opened up about my own relationship history and what I learned about infidelity, f...
369. It’s Safe To Be In Your Full Power
May 26, 2023 06:22 - 17 minutes - 11.8 MBFear of change can often leave us dangling on the cusp of our own massive success. Consequently, instead of unleashing our full power to the universe, we lock ourselves in the subconscious “safe zone” of the things, relationships, situations and habits that minimize our power. Change is indeed scary as hell. But stepping into your full power requires letting go of the doubts, uncertainties and people holding us back. This way, we open ourselves up to inviting in that next glorious chapter...
368. How Do You Know If They’re The One?
May 10, 2023 06:22 - 23 minutes - 16.3 MB“How do I know if they’re the one?” I get this question more often than I can tell you. But truthfully, I don’t believe there’s only one person in the world for us. And trying to fit that perfect someone into your preconceived love story presents a number of challenges and very, very often keeps people in bad relationships longer than they should be. Instead, we should all focus on how we can become the one, ourselves. And as we grow, there may even be more than one “one” that becomes our ...
367. Re-Thinking Boundaries & Becoming An Energetic Match For Your Desires
May 02, 2023 06:22 - 20 minutes - 13.7 MBNot everyone deserves a place in your heart. But closing ourselves off isn’t the answer either. Boundaries can become fortresses. And then we wonder why no one can ever break through. Yet it’s not always about setting every boundary under the sun with each individual person in your life. It’s about showing up as the person you want to be, and watching the magic that unfolds as a direct and specific result of your shift. Can we allow life to happen, while also trusting ourselves to be a...
366. Self-Love & Loneliness: Learning to Like Yourself
April 25, 2023 06:22 - 23 minutes - 16.2 MBThe journey to self-love begins with liking yourself first. But doing this work can present one of the biggest battles we all face as humans: loneliness. It's one of the things that keeps us in mediocre relationships far past their expiry dates, because being in the company of another seems, in theory, better than being alone. But relationships with others are not the cure to loneliness. And believe it or not, the better you become acquainted with loneliness, the less you will fear it and ...
365. Lose The Labels That Keep You Small & Expand Into Real Freedom
April 18, 2023 06:22 - 22 minutes - 15.7 MBThere are more “labels” than ever floating around out there, especially in the areas of self-help and personal development. Occasionally, labels can be helpful by helping us to feel less isolated and alone in our “weirdness.” But identifying too strongly with any particular label has the potential to do more harm than good. They prevent us from viewing individuals (including ourselves) as a whole, complex and unique being. Labels, therefore, can keep us small, rigid, and wrapped up in part...
364. Not All Men, But Almost Always With Traver Boehm Of Man UNcivilized
April 11, 2023 06:22 - 1 hour - 55.4 MBThis conversation is hands-down one of my favourites to date on this podcast. We’re speaking with Traver Boehm, an author of two books, 2 time TEDx Speaker, men’s coach and founder of the UNcivilized Men’s Movement, which is radically redefining the way men around the globe experience their masculinity by uniquely blending both primal elements of manhood with massive doses of consciousness. In 2016 after losing a pregnancy, his marriage, and his business partnership all within weeks of e...
363. Can People Change?
April 04, 2023 06:22 - 25 minutes - 17.8 MBCan people change? The short answer is yes. The real question is: can we have the compassion to see one’s (including our own) potential, versus forever holding them to past behaviors and actions? Honouring one’s potential to change doesn’t mean erasing the wounds of the past. But there’s incredible healing power in forgiveness and in recognizing one’s humanity - especially your own. In this episode, we’re talking about: Judgment and righteousness The potential for someone to change ...
362. Choose Your Hard & Living in the Light of Possibilities
March 21, 2023 06:22 - 37 minutes - 26 MBWhen we make decisions that we know are hard now, but will be worth it in the end, that’s choosing your hard. On the outside, what looks like hard work, messiness and sacrifice, means taking the time to properly grow the roots needed to live your most abundant, unshakable life. It can feel like hunkering down for a long, dark winter. But your winter won’t last forever, because spring always comes. Those who achieve incredible things all chose, or are choosing, their hard. “Don’t live ...
361. The Abundance of Dating Pool Options
March 14, 2023 06:22 - 17 minutes - 12 MBIf the dating pool is feeling smaller and smaller for you, ask yourself: why is that a bad thing? What if it actually means a better chance at the relationship you’re looking for? This requires a reframe of what “abundance” truly means when it comes to dating and relationships. The fact is, not everyone is a match for you. But you don’t actually want MORE options, you want the RIGHT options. That’s ultimately what picking a partner is about. And instead of people pleasing and desperate...
360. 3 Things You Need To Understand About Time
March 07, 2023 07:22 - 23 minutes - 15.8 MBIt might be easy to think that time is the most important thing in building a strong relationship. But time means nothing if it's not spent wisely. Today, we’re we’re talking about three important things - call them myths - you need to understand about time: -Time doesn't heal all wounds -Length does not equal depth -Energy is far more valuable than time While time is still an important factor in all relationships, by reframing these three important aspects, we’ll be able to better ...
359. Fatherhood & the Absent Father Epidemic: Building a Community of Better & More Present Fathers with Kelly Gardner
February 28, 2023 07:22 - 55 minutes - 38.3 MBKelly Gardner is on a mission to lead dads towards the next great evolution in fatherhood. He is the Founder of “New Dad Network” - group programs and events specifically for men to work through the challenges of being a “dad” and toward embodying holistic, masculine leadership - his definition of “fatherhood.” The goal is to give a safe space for men to share, relieve burdens of shame and become more present internally and outwardly in the lives of their children. Kelly is a longtime thea...
358. Tapping Into Your Intuition with Lisa K
February 21, 2023 07:22 - 54 minutes - 37.6 MBIntuition is our instinctive ability to know something is right or wrong, without knowing how or why we know it. Everyone from highly successful executives, to mathematicians and fighter pilots practice their intuitive abilities to perform at an extremely high level. And while some may cast it aside as mysticism or “woo,” there is a science behind it. Lisa K is a renowned intuitive coach whose background in science and engineering helped her develop revolutionary intuition training program...

February 14, 2023 07:02 - 42 minutes - 29.3 MBThis episode outlines my “Four C’s of Connection” which are Curiosity, Compassion, Communication & Courage. This framework is crucial to healthier relationships with yourself, with your romantic partner and platonically with literally anyone. And each of the Four C’s builds on each other in particular order. If you can hone in on and embody these four traits - all which can be learned and some which may take a ton of practice - you will see changes in your life and relationships instantly...
356. Exploring Soul Contracts & Collective Consciousness
February 07, 2023 07:22 - 31 minutes - 21.9 MBSomewhere at the intersection of science and spirituality is comfort. Science gives us comfort in its ability to explain exactly how things happen. Spirituality gives us comfort to trust things that science can never explain. When we’re open minded to both, we start to fully appreciate how humans are connected physically, emotionally and energetically. Soul contracts are the agreements and collaborations our souls make with other souls before we become human. And while soul contracts have ...
355. Can Men & Women Just Be Friends? with Dr. Jade Teta
January 31, 2023 07:22 - 1 hour - 45.6 MBIt’s a question that’s been around forever: can men and women just be friends? Who better than to discuss this with than with one of my nearest and dearest friends, Dr. Jade Teta, host of The Next Level Human podcast and co-host of an ongoing Relationships Series here on Room To Grow™ (more episodes below). While Jade and I (like many others) have maintained a very long and close platonic relationship as heterosexual individuals, there remains some cultural and evolutionary disbeliefs th...
354. How to Know You’re Healing: Emotional Regulation, Self-Trust & Inner Peace
January 24, 2023 07:22 - 33 minutes - 22.8 MBPersonal growth helps us to develop new and better emotional responses to whatever life throws our way.

The challenge becomes rewiring our minds to accept this new amazing power, without questioning it.

353. Communication & the Energetic Weight, Intention & Impact of Our Language
January 19, 2023 07:22 - 40 minutes - 27.6 MBOur best intentions don’t always land the way we hoped. Everyone has their own language and each word and action carries a different energetic weight for everyone. So how do we ensure our best intentions don’t get crushed under the weight of a painful impact? Today, I’ll explain subtle ways we can become more aware of how we communicate verbally, through body language and energetically - all of which have the power to make others feel. And all, even with the best intentions, can have a far...
352. The Subtle Ways Self-Abandonment Sneaks Up on Us
January 10, 2023 07:22 - 29 minutes - 20.4 MBEvery time we betray our true self in order to please someone else, we abandon a small part of us. Every time we say “yes” when we really mean “no,” or ignore our own needs, or cling to an unhealthy relationship for fear of hurting their feelings, we give up another small part of our authentic self. Slowly, those small parts add up to a gaping hole that can irreparably damage our relationships with others and ourselves. So today, we’re talking about noticing the signs of self-abandonment ...

349. Debating the Role of Romantic Relationships in Fulfillment, Purpose & Growth with Dr. Jade Teta
December 13, 2022 07:22 - 57 minutes - 39.4 MBAre romantic relationships a need or a want? Dr. Jade Teta, one of my absolute closest friends and founder of Next Level Human, is back to debate how big of a role our romantic relationships actually play in our personal growth & sense of fulfillment. Yes, our connection with our significant other can provide the highest level of love and meaning, but is it really the source of our sense of safety, stability and sense of purpose? Or does that need to come from somewhere else? This is p...
348. Stop Bullsh*tting With Your Potential
December 08, 2022 07:22 - 22 minutes - 15.4 MBUnfulfilled potential is one of the biggest fears many people have. But what if you were actually a lot closer to being the world-changer you were meant to be than you realize?

We’re also going to debunk the idea of “finding your purpose” and talk about what we’re really trying to achieve as we work toward giving the world what...
347. Room to Grow™ After Dark: Gender Equality: Re-Examining the Meaning of Male Privilege with Chelsea Wallace & Greg Ryder
November 29, 2022 07:22 - 1 hour - 57.4 MBToday, we’re tackling one of the more controversial and unspoken angles of the gender equality discussion: the struggles men face. More specifically, how the innate nature of “male privilege” has consequently shrouded many of the staggering statistical inequities men face in many areas, including poverty, mental health and death. This conversation may be triggering, but I encourage you to listen to its entirety to gain the full spectrum of the various angles of context we discussed. The on...
346. Emotional Translation: Learning Each Other’s Unique Languages
November 22, 2022 07:22 - 18 minutes - 12.8 MBEmotional translation is not about what is said in a relationship, but how the other person hears it. Words or phrases that mean something to you could mean something completely different to someone else. Not knowing how to speak each other’s language could turn a simple misunderstanding into a blowup or even a breakup. So for a relationship to thrive, we not only need to speak clearly and honestly, but in a way they can emotionally translate, and vice versa. Here, I’m going to share two...
345. Hypnosis & the Subconscious Mind with Marie Mitchell
November 17, 2022 07:22 - 38 minutes - 26.2 MBSomewhere along the line, hypnosis got a bad rap. But if we look past the radical brainwashing and stand-up comedy gags, everyone from high performance athletes, to coaches, smokers and even children are turning to this age-old, holistic method to make positive changes in their lives. Hypnosis essentially opens our conscious mind to what our subconscious mind is capable of. I’ve worked with Hypnotist Marie Mitchell multiple times, and invited her on the podcast to talk about the life-chang...
