True Take: Inevitable Disappointment
September 25, 2017 17:31 - 3 minutes - 8.53 MBShit happens. Sometimes it's a little harder to take than others. I had what I thought was a sure thing and a great opportunity for my career. It didn't work out. But it was a reminder of a very important lesson. Sometimes the thing that doesn't work out, the problem you are resenting, is the very thing you need.

True Take: Putting Yourself Out There
September 12, 2017 19:05 - 4 minutes - 9.3 MBIt's not easy to put ourselves out there for others. Even for people that "seem" to have it all together. Most people can be decent at self confidence, but struggle with self esteem. Because when we take away all of the success measures and accolades, what do we have left? Our innate self. And that can be scary to show others. But we're all attracted to honesty. We love to see other people's truth. Not only is it good for the people seeing it, but it's great for the person sharing it. And wh...
Ep. 36 - Justin Spicer: How to Market Your Authentic Self

Justin makes YouTube videos for private practises, and uses SEO to help more people hear these authentic testimonials. He takes time to have a conversation with people about what they love and lets their passion do the talking. It's not about creating a polished presentation - instead he helps people connect with others through sharing a snapshot of who they re...
True Take: The Next Step is Right in Front of You
September 02, 2017 01:55 - 5 minutes - 12.7 MBOne of our greatest habits is to look and expect to find all of the answers BEFORE we act. As if we need to have the most information in front of us, be without fear, or have ultimate certainty before we take a chance. We'll never know until we start. We can't. Maybe we're not supposed to. I'm coming close to accepting an offer for my business that 4 years ago I never would have imagined. And the thing is that without taking those first steps to get where I am, this opportunity wouldn't be t...
Ep. 35 - Michelle Meiche: Accessing Our Intuition

True Take: What We Resist Persists
August 25, 2017 07:59 - 5 minutes - 13.4 MBIs it true that what we resist persists? What would happen if we moved our energy and focus from what we're resisting, or fearing, to a place of creativity? So many times we aren't able to see our own potential, or potential alternatives to our problems, because we are in a place of fear and resistance. And before we can move into a place of creativity, we need to accept what is happening and what is going on. Not excuse it. Not give in to it. Accept it for what it is. Whether it's a career ...
True Take: Motivation is Fleeting
August 17, 2017 02:32 - 6 minutes - 14.8 MBMotivation is a great tool for getting us started on a desired change. It can come in the form of the excitement of seeking a goal, fear of a negative consequence, or even anger and frustration due to our current situation. But what happens when motivation dies off like is always does? What keeps us focused for the long haul? Prepare for the inevitable loss of motivation and seek a deeper meaning in why you are doing what you're doing and why you are seeking the change you want. Subscrib...
Ep. 34 - Keri Nola: Are We Going Through A Global and Societal Shift?

She's also the co-founder of the Galactic Vibrations podcast and an author. Today, Keri returns to the show to chat with John about the 'shift', a global awakening that's causing us to reassess our place in the world and how we identify ourselves within it. From the anxieties and fears springing from recent political events, to the social questions we face on daily basis, this in-depth co...
True Take: Being Everything for Everyone
August 11, 2017 20:27 - 6 minutes - 6.37 MBTrue Take: Being Everything for Everyone. When you're feeling drained or burned out have you noticed that it's times when you feel over obligated or over committed? Often we try and wear too many "hats" and be too much for others. And often it's without being asked to be those things. What would happen if we didn't always try and have to come through for everyone or please everybody or even be perfect. We might actually have more energy to be the best version of ourselves. Subscribe to the T...
True Take: Who is Responsible?
August 06, 2017 19:36 - 4 minutes - 4.15 MBWe've seen an emergence of speakers and authors talk about the shedding of blame and shame from self. While this is healthy, many times we don't actually shed that blame or shame. We just redirect it towards others or other circumstances. Ultimately, one bag we can never shed is the bag of responsibility. When we understand that responsibility and blame are not the same things we are able to focus on what we can control and what serves us. Subscribe to the True Calling Project podcast on iTu...
True Take: Is Patience Really a Virtue?
August 01, 2017 21:32 - 4 minutes - 5.22 MBWe've all heard about the importance of patience. But how easy is it really? And why do we struggle with it? Can we make patience a valuable resource in and of itself? Getting out the cycle of addictive thinking and overdoing. Much of time in the case of our lives and present circumstances, less is more.

True Take: The Next "Big Thing"
July 28, 2017 17:12 - 3 minutes - 4.59 MBIt's easy to get sucked into the newest idea, theory, or practice. What happens when we don't get what we expected? This summer has taught me a good lesson on expectations and why we should be wary of "turning points" and the revelations outside of ourselves. Everything is an internal process whether we like it or not. And many times those needed lessons are not fun, exciting, or comfortable.

True Take: The Myth of "I Don't Know How"
July 22, 2017 03:16 - 5 minutes - 5.44 MBTechnology is ruining our excuse that we use that says "I don't know how to do it" or "I don't know where to start". Knowledge is not something that is separate to be kept from us and guarded by the select few. No, you are just scared or insecure or not ready. And there is nothing wrong with that. Better to face fear and learn from it than hide behind the false notion that there is some source of knowledge out there that you're not privy to that is keeping you stuck. It's not that "we don't ...
True Take: The Lie of Money and Motivation
July 15, 2017 20:43 - 8 minutes - 8.47 MBWe've been taught that material wealth and gain is the best way to measure our success. But why are so many people who "have it all" miserable with their work and occupations? I talk about reading Daniel Pink's book "Drive" and why if we don't have 3 factors in our work to express ourselves in, we are not going to be as satisfied with our work. The science has spoken. Money doesn't create job satisfaction. Catch the True Calling Project live on Facebook at 1pm EST every Thursday. Subscri...
True Take: Do We Need Experts?
July 08, 2017 03:43 - 10 minutes - 10.2 MBWe look to people with special knowledge to help us solve problems, or give us insight, that we can't necessarily do on our own. But how often do we overlook our own abilities in comparison to these experts? When others have a credible skill set, it doesn't mean that what we have to offer is somehow "less". There is a tendency to shrink from putting ourselves out there in fear that we won't be as credible as others we see as subject matter experts. However, expertise, in many cases is su...
True Take: The Illusion of Professionalism and the Imposter Syndrome
June 29, 2017 21:32 - 6 minutes - 6.21 MBWhat is professionalism? Is it the words we use? How we say them? Etiquette? Expected behaviors in professional environments? Is it what we wear? Many of us are forcing ourselves into a box and parameter that we "think" is the way we should behave and speak. When we are constantly trying to be something we're not, the imposter syndrome comes up in us. Are we doing the right thing? Are people going to accept and appreciate us? What if we identified our own sense of what being profess...
True Take: Making Our Values Our Responsiblity
June 28, 2017 02:42 - 9 minutes - 8.42 MBWas talking with a good friend of mine last night about the state of the world, government, business, economy. It's not our boss, the government, the corporations, our neighbors, our lack of money, or anyone else's responsibility to live through our values and take action...except for us. We have this addiction of blaming our circumstances for our inability to create what we want and not being able to live through what's important to us. The blame game keeps us stuck and in resistance. And i...
True Take: Gratitude Isn't About Ignoring Problems
June 24, 2017 01:45 - 6 minutes - 6.88 MBWhen we focus on gratitude in our lives it's NOT about ignoring problems or only seeing rainbows and gumdrop smiles. It's about seeing the WHOLE picture. Our brains are predisposed to be vigilant to identify what we can lose, or what we have lost. It's normal and natural to think negatively in many circumstances. BUT, since the mind is trying to keep us safe, it has a hard time being appreciative. So we have to be smarter than our monkey minds. GRATITUDE is about accepting the whole reality ...

True Take 026: How to Get Out of Your Own Way
June 15, 2017 20:25 - 6 minutes - 6.97 MBTalking with a friend recently about the nature of low mood and low energy, or depression, and how it can help us bring clarity to our current situation. But only if we suspend judgement of what we are experiencing. I really think the Buddhists had something when they taught about releasing judgement. Notice how much easier life is when you are not judging your current situation, your relationships, your mood, your surroundings (gasp...politics). If we value ourselves and what we can bring t...
Ep 32 - Kosta Stoyanoff: Taking Ownership of Who You Are
June 12, 2017 13:00 - 56 minutes - 60.9 MBToday’s guest, Kosta Stoyanoff, isn’t your typical positive speaker. He is the Founder of Uplifted Life, where he tries to remind people that there is more to life than what they have been conditioned to experience, and more to them than they could have ever imagined. We discuss how we can find the part of ourselves that will be essential if we want the world to change, and why we need to look internally – not externally – if we want to create that change. I was first introduced to Kosta...
True Take 025 - Relax. You're Going to Piss Some People Off.
June 09, 2017 02:09 - 8 minutes - 8.12 MBBeing afraid of pissing people off might be the #1 dream killer of all time. I was reflecting this week on how overly cautious we can tend to be (me included) when it comes to not wanting to possibly offending someone else. As if going through life solely to be polite can get us what we need...or be able to become what we were meant to become. Conflict is a part of life and relationships. We can't run from that or simply appease. When we are going after what we want our actions might hurt ot...
Ep 31 - Michael Kuhn: Facing Near Death to Living Life
June 05, 2017 13:00 - 57 minutes - 66.7 MBToday our guest, Michael Kuhn, shares a powerful story about transformation, presence, relationships, and the metaphysical aspects of life (and death). Michael struggled with relationships and substance abuse for much of his early adulthood. After waking up in a jail cell, he decided he had to make a change. The need for knowledge became his new addiction. After almost drowning, his perspective was changed further. Michael believes that our goal as a species, and consciousness in gener...
True Take 024: How Can We Authentically Connect with Others?
May 29, 2017 17:42 - 6 minutes - 6.57 MBWhat is it about relationships that we find so rewarding? What kind of people do we gravitate towards? Is it their words? Is it their advice? When we have a good, solid, friendship or relationship, and connection with someone what are they doing that makes it so? What can we focus on in our relationships to enhance our connection with others?

Ep 30 - Bryan Wright: Grief and the Phenomenon of Denying Death
May 29, 2017 13:00 - 32 minutes - 41.5 MBDeath is a unique process in human experience in that it can only be directly experienced by the participant, and it cannot be recorded. In almost everything else in life, people are ready and willing to offer advice… but, in this one area, they can’t. Bryan Wright, like many of us, is fascinated by this unknown, yet ubiquitous, experience. He is a student of Thanatology – the study of death, dying, and related processes – and he’s on the show today to discuss the postmodern phenomenon of ...
True Take 023: The Essence of Bullshit
May 22, 2017 19:14 - 8 minutes - 8.38 MBNSFW. Or maybe it's AFW (appropriate for work). This isn't clickbait. Because clickbait is bullshit. This is about smiling through and letting go of a lot of what we get tied up in on a day to day basis. Do we really HAVE to put our energies and efforts into things that we can't control? Do we HAVE to play along with things even though we know they're bullshit? Like in the Emperor's New Clothes, we all know when we SEE bullshit, but we also have a keen sense of FEELING into bullshit. Trust y...
Ep. 29 - Trevor Oldham: Become the Lion & Make an Impact
May 22, 2017 13:00 - 33 minutes - 36.5 MBToday’s guest, Trevor Oldham, is a 20-year-old college student and co-founder of Become The Lion, one of the top ranked motivational blogs. Trevor has entrepreneurship in his blood, and he’s been running businesses since he was a kid. When Trevor was 17, he had success importing phone cases from China and selling them. It was a profitable business, but he decided that he needed to do something with more purpose and impact. At the age of 18, Trevor co-founded Become the Lion so that he co...
True Take 022: The Ripple Effect
May 22, 2017 03:51 - 3 minutes - 6.23 MBFunny how we fail to appreciate our impact on the people around us and our environment both in a positive and negative way. We judge our impact as negligible when we are really the one's that need to be judging. All our job is to express and create and leave the judging to others. People will receive the impact of our actions regardless of what we think about them. How can we be more intentional in what we do in a positive way? In a way that is a true expression of who we are? Taking n...
True Take 021: Doubling Down
May 20, 2017 03:17 - 4 minutes - 5.4 MBListen up control freaks and self care junkies! This is for you. And for me. I'm done. Tired. Spent. Things are reaching their limit here with my business. But this time, instead of trying to self medicate the stress with "self care", I'm going to listen to it. Instead of trying to strangle control and lessen my anxiety, I'm going to let go. Not only that, I'm going to double down on listening to my stress and double down on letting go of control. We'll see how it goes. What's going on in yo...
True Take 020: We Don't Know What We Don't Know
May 17, 2017 02:38 - 5 minutes - 5.8 MBInteresting opportunities are coming up lately. Things that I never would have imagined even 3 or 4 years ago. What if our limited mindset really is the problem? We try to seek certainty before we act thinking there should be this clear linear pattern from which to base our decisions from. We think we know something until something new shows up in our lives. What's right in front of us right now that's trying to get our attention? Are we looking to only act on things that we are certain w...
Ep. 28 - Frances Harvey: Letting Go and Allowing Others to Help You Expand
May 15, 2017 13:00 - 29 minutes - 32.4 MBFrances Harvey is a Professional Certified Coach targeted directly towards therapists and mental health clinicians, providing support, advice and all manner of help so they can reach their goal of running a successful practice and business. In this episode, we talk a lot about the idea of letting go. We all know that trust is important in so many aspects of our everyday lives, so how do we put this to use in our businesses? And what are the benefits? It may be a daunting task to ‘let go’...
True Take 019: When Should I "Suck it Up"?
May 13, 2017 03:34 - 4 minutes - 5.07 MBWhen should I push through and suck it up? This comes up a lot for me. When do I push through and when is it ok to let go and relax? When is it time to step it up and when is it ok to take a break? If we only push ourselves all the time we'll burn out. If we only chill out and take it easy, we'll never move forward or grow. And there can be alot of guilt and angst about not pushing it hard all the time. Knowing why we're doing what we're doing and implementing a plan and cycle in our actio...
True Take 018: The Importance of the "Why" Factor
May 11, 2017 00:12 - 9 minutes - 9.15 MBFeeling especially reflective when I recorded this on Monday. Thinking about the things that I've tried and failed at over the course of my life, but especially in the last 5 years. Anything and everything that was not tied into a clear heartfelt purpose that could answer a "why" for me, didn't pan out. I was left feeling empty and not so fulfilled. The "jokes on me" kind of feeling. Not that it wasn't an important lesson, it was and continues to be. Chasing a "thing", the "idea of something...
Ep. 27 - Sharon Martin: Don’t Believe Everything You Think
May 08, 2017 10:00 - 39 minutes - 49.2 MBSharon Martin, LCSW, is dedicated to helping busy adults and teens in Silicon Valley manage stress in order to promote peace, balance, and happiness in their lives. In today’s episode, we discuss how self-esteem and negative self-talk affect this balance and happiness, and how people who work with children can foster a positive sense of self-worth in the next generation. We all tell ourselves a story about ourselves, which is impacted by the messages we hear every day, and this self-talk...
True Take 017: The Introvert Excuse
May 05, 2017 19:41 - 4 minutes - 3.92 MBAs a introvert myself, I'm going to call out all the other introverts that use introversion as an excuse to hide. While there is nothing wrong with being an introvert, it can provide a slippery excuse to maintain a quiet voice, a muted personality, or even a depressed and miserable state of being. Introverts gather their energies from being reflective and having times of solitude or being around similar people. Here are some reasons that introverts use the "introvert excuse" when minimizing ...
True Take 016: Do It When You Don't Feel Like Doing It
May 04, 2017 19:26 - 3 minutes - 4.39 MBOf all of the insights and practical advice that I have heard in the past few years, the one that has made all of the difference is that "if we want to make lasting and significant change in our lives, we have to sometimes do things we don't want to do." If we only listen to our feelings, our whims, our mood, our problems...we'll never be able to maintain consistency. We have to rise above our cravings and impulses and force ourselves to show up on the days, and in the places, we don't wan...
True Take 015: Patience is Invaluable
May 02, 2017 15:57 - 6 minutes - 6.21 MBWhy are we in such a rush to get somewhere we currently aren't? When we are constantly bombarded with messages that glamorize the final product we tend to skip over our own process and the necessary steps in our process. We are all addicted. Addictions are not just about substances in our mind but also are concepts, false ideas, and unrealistic expectations that take us away from the important place that we currently are. Embracing the process, honoring it, and listening and learning to ...

True Take 014: Fail Forward
April 27, 2017 02:27 - 2 minutes - 3.71 MBWhen looking at taking risk we consider the chances of failure. Obviously, some risks are not worth taking. But what about when we are not taking risk because we are afraid of failing at being accepted, or being praised, or being told we're doing ok? Many people do not take risks because they are afraid to find out that they may not be "good enough" at what they love to do. But here's the thing. We can never truly "fail" when we are expressing and creating on the level of what we love an...
True Take 013: Got Problems?
April 26, 2017 03:09 - 2 minutes - 2.74 MBWe all have them. So why are we surprised when things keep getting in our way? What if problems never stopped? What if we just graduated to better problems? Problems can be a teacher. They can show us context and what we prefer. They can show us discernment. We spend a lot of energy and time attempting to escape from what we assume are issues. What if the real problem is our perception of them? Interested in learning more about how I can help you through coaching? Find out more at ww...

True Take 012: Do I Believe That I Deserve It?
April 21, 2017 12:50 - 4 minutes - 4.65 MBWhen we ask for something are we really sure that we want what we are asking for? Why do we find disappointment when we get things we are asking for? Why do we have tendencies to self sabotage and keep us from experiencing abundance? Many times we seem to have a subconscious tendency to block ourselves from what we want because we don't actually believe that we deserve all the good things we want. Do you tend to dismiss compliments and have a hard time taking them? Do you suffer from not be...
True Take 011: The Reverse Side of Ego
April 20, 2017 12:53 - 4 minutes - 4.69 MBWhen we think of ego, or being egotistical, we tend to think about someone who is self aggrandizing or is being self promoting, or self absorbed. But what about the other side of ego problems? Minimizing your own value and worth. Playing the victim, being a martyr, and drawing empowerment from devaluing yourself or being overly negative about your situation. Allowing your identity to be someone who "can't do it" or "isn't capable" or "can't be self dependent". We are all equal in terms ...
True Take 010: Share What You've Got
April 19, 2017 02:11 - 6 minutes - 6.93 MBSomeone asked me recently what I expected to come out of the podcast and videos I am doing. I thought I had explored my "why" but I hadn't really thought about what exactly I expected from the production of the podcast and video themselves. Strangely, or maybe it isn't, I actually just like making the podcast episodes. I really have no expectations at all. What if we did more of that? Acting and creating without analyzing and worrying? What if I did it more? What if you did it more? ...

True Take 009: Stay in Your Process
April 17, 2017 01:52 - 5 minutes - 5.66 MBWhy are we in such a big hurry to get somewhere? Why do we tend to look into the future to be somewhere we're not? Or go somewhere we aren't? What if in our process we are exactly where we need to be? What if things are the way they are supposed to be until we fully learn what we need to from them? If my process is 12 steps and I'm on step 3 but want to get to step 5 or 6, how can I learn from steps 3 and 4? Letting go of judgment and perception of our current experience to better allo...
True Take 008: Stop Searching for the "How To"
April 14, 2017 18:50 - 5 minutes - 5.56 MBWhen we see people who we view as "successful" we want what they have. Instinctively, we want to know what they did to get there. What tactics did they use, what tools did they adopt, what strategies did they employ. We're looking in the wrong place. While these are important aspects of success, these are not the reasons for success. We don't see the process that person went through to get where they are. The mindset, the behaviors, the actions, the setbacks, and the process as a whole. ...
True Take 007: Do I Have to Have it All Figured Out?
April 13, 2017 01:48 - 4 minutes - 4.72 MBDeath by overthinking. Paralysis by analysis. Why is it that we tend to think we can get all the answers to our questions, and find certainty, before we take a chance, make a move, or dive into a project? When we stop trying to see our process all the way through and predict all the contingencies, we are more able to see the clear, logical, next step right in front of us. By taking that first step we'll see something, and get information, that we didn't see previously. Then we'll make an...
