“The Expectation Hanover” and Other Things that are Zapping your Motivation and Productivity EP377

You’re being a control freak and may not even realize it.

When my longtime Manifestation Guide said to this to me, I was SHOOK….“You don’t think you’re God do you?”

Me: “ummmmm no of course not.”

Tony: “Your behavior says otherwise.” (all said is a calm beautiful Lebanese accent)

This conversation occurred after I came to him in a dramatic crisis probably for the 13th time that nothing was working in my business, and I’ll have to go back to Corporate Life if clients don’t come in soon.

You see, I was placing demands on the Universe. Instead of praying I was telling God what I needed to have happen and when.

Then when it didn’t happen in my way or in my exact time frame, I would get pissed. “WHAT MORE DO I HAVE TO DO HERE GOD?! THROW ME A BONE!!”

It’s normal to slip into controlling behavior when we are scared. We want the discomfort to stop and to stop NOW.

The issue is when we’re in that demanding, controlling energy; we are crazy and not thinking clearly.

This energy comes across as desperate, needy, and thirsty…not exactly an attractive vibe to potential clients is it?

You really have to do your best and surrender the rest…obsessing and analyzing may feel like you are taking action, but you’re only burning yourself out.

I surrender at least 5 times a day, no joke. This isn’t a one and done process.

I’ll be diving into this much deeper inside the episode, and taking you through how I manage my need to control when I’m scared.

EP 765 The Final Shedding Required for the Biggest Quantum Jump of Your Life

If you have been feeling restless, emotionally raw, impatient with your old patterns, or like your current life suddenly feels too small, you are not imagining it.

As we close out the Year of the Snake and prepare to enter the Year of the Fire Horse on February 17, 2026, we are moving through a rare 60-year transition cycle associated with identity shifts, shedding outdated patterns, and stepping into a faster, bolder chapter of life.

This episode explores the final shedding required before a major quantum jump, why this phase can feel emotionally intense, and how to stop delaying the version of you that is ready to move forward.

Instead of surface-level motivation or spiritual bypassing, this conversation focuses on honest self-reflection, releasing emotional attachments, confronting resistance, and taking decisive action so you can move into your next level with clarity and momentum.

EP 764 2026 Glow Up Protocol: (The Boundaries) How to Set Healthy Boundaries Without Guilt in 2026

This episode of the 2026 Glow Up Protocol is all about boundaries.

Not the cold, harsh, push-people-away kind. But the kind that protect your energy, your peace, and your future.

Most high achievers think burnout comes from working too hard. The truth is much simpler: burnout comes from weak boundaries.

If you’ve ever felt exhausted, resentful, overwhelmed, or stretched too thin, it’s not because you care too much or work too much. It’s because you’ve been saying yes to things that should have been a no.

In this episode, you’ll learn how to set healthy boundaries without guilt, fear, or anxiety — and how to finally stop overgiving to the point of losing yourself.

True change in 2026 doesn’t come from doing more. It comes from becoming someone new on the inside first.

In this episode, we go beyond surface level self-improvement and get into the emotional, psychological, and energetic work of remembering who you actually are and deciding who you want to be next.
