You’re GONNA BE OKAY! With Kaylah Copeland

Jul 07, 2021

Have you ever wanted to take a leap of faith, make a big move or leave your career; but you let fear hold you back from making the decision?

At the end of our lives, you’re going to start to think about all the things we’ve done and the things we WISH we did. It’s those regrets that hang around like a dark cloud over us as we live out our lives. 

That’s why the lesson of pursuit despite the unknown and fear is something we all need to learn and take notes on.

Sorry... (I Ain't sorry!) - How To PROPERLY Apologize!

Jun 29, 2021

Have you ever just apologized to someone because you wanted to move on from an obstacle, issue, or problem that has been lingering over your relationship? 

If you said no, you’re probably lying cause I can guarantee everyone has done it at least once in their lifetime whether they realize it or not. 

It’s so easy for us to give half-ass apologies especially when we’re young because with friends you get into little disagreements here and there, you talk about it, and push it under the rug. 

Now that we’re entering into an age of cancel culture and it seems like every celebrity or person of influence is apologizing for something new everyday. It’s easy to see who’s being genuine and who’s just following a PR script. 

On the flip side, as we get older, and we experience new things, as we grow, actions that mirror actions of a teenager are no longer acceptable. 

For example, if you’ve listened to episode number 93, then you know about the drama that went down at my little sister’s g...

When Business Knocks The SH*T Out Of You!

May 25, 2021

This is a PSA to tell you to SLOW the F*ck DOWN! 

Whether that’s in life or in your business, you have to slow down in order to progress. 

Let me explain… 

People always want things to come instantly! Instant things such as, weight loss, a healthy body, finances, relationships, marriage, more sales in our business, more customers, to be an industry leader overnight; whatever that “thing” is that you desire, it’s NOT going to magically happen for you overnight. It’s just not. 

 

When you’re in constant “hustle & grind” mode, you’re not working yourself to the PEAK of success; in turn you’re actually working your body and mind into overwhelm, overwork, comparison and resentment. 

 

That’s why in this week’s PUSH we’re sharing HOW to move past the difficult seasons in your life and in your business. 

 

Here’s a breakdown of what Eddie and I discussed… 

  • What in the world is wrong with you(01:34)
  • Are you going too damn fast (16:15)
  • Work-life balance for business owners (18:1...

It Probably Won’t Work… But You Should DO IT ANYWAY!

May 18, 2021

What if… 

What if it doesn’t work? What if I fail? What if I lose everything? What if I’m not good enough? 

The one thing all these questions have in common is they aren’t REALITY. When we make decisions in our life with the idea of the “what if” in the back of our minds; the decision you’re questioning isn’t going to end well. 

When we approach life with the concept of “what if” we’re already creating self-doubt; whether that be in the actual decision or self-doubt in yourself. 

This week on the PUSH Podcast we’re sharing HOW to overcome limiting beliefs and self-doubt so you can pursue your dreams and goals in confidence. 

Here’s a breakdown of what Eddie and I discussed…
