Thank you. We love you. Have a listen.

Hey y’all - Meg here! To our Canadian listeners, Happy Canada Day! This long weekend we tapped into goals in a big way, digging into what drives and moves each of us into action based on different goal setting methods. Glen shares about how he’s trying out a new approach to goal setting, kicking off the conversation. He talks us through moving from a more measured approach to allowing things to show up on their own inside of a commitment and how that’s going. Derv talks through her perspective on setting clear goals and how letting go of the “how” to achieve a goal has changed her life.  And, I share about my new structure using Getting Things Done (by David Allen) and how that’s freed me up to accept and receive more in the moment.

Derv here again! We kick this episode off with me talking about this new Mushroom coffee I’m trying out from Four Sigmatic. It works! Tip: I would have half a portion to start out with just to see how your body reacts to it.   Meg then gets in to how her past creeps back into her life so often and it’s important to keep reminding oneself that it’s just that, the past, in order to stop it from ruling our actions.   I talk about blind spots and how when things seems out of balance, even though they may not seem connected, sometimes they all are, in ways that we just don’t see. We discuss using the Performance Triangle as a way to figure out what is going on and why we’re feeling a loss of either power, self-expression or freedom (or a combination of them!).   Before we finish-off the episode, Glen drops a bomb on his goal setting initiatives! …We will continue that discussion into next episode.

Derv here! In this last episode of Season #2 of The Beanstalk, Glen gets the convo rolling discussing a book he’s been reading by Thomas Sowell called, Basic Economics. It leads us into the discussion of how we can collect data and measure the amount of value we’re getting from the time we spend on certain things, so that we can choose to spend it in the best way possible for us.   How do you spend your most precious resource, time? Do you feel that what you’re doing with it is getting the most value out of it? We’ll give you some ideas on how to measure it, so you can maximize it.   From this talk, Meg gets real on her need to take a step back and do a "time audit", write out her weekly goals and work on living those 168 hours in the week in the best way for her.   I mention how I feel like there’s some areas of my life where I’m progressing but I feel like things in my career are just keeping steady, and that makes me a bit uneasy. I’m reminded of the concept of focusing on one area at a time to progress, highlighting a quote from a recent Marie Forleo podcast episode which goes something like: “The man who chases two rabbits catches none.”   Such a zen episode. Love this one. If you like what you hear, please share this with a friend!   Thank crew. Enjoy!

Meg here, y’all! Stoked to share some new things with you this week to help you Grow Yo' Self.  I share about what happening when I feel like my clients are running the show and the crew hooks me up with how to set some new expectations to help train my clients (and myself), and let go of worrying so much about adhering to other people's agendas. Derv digs into the topic of "llooooooveee" and the actions she’s taking to find the right fit in another person. She gets clear that who you choose to surround yourself is key to having the life you want.   Glen breaks down his partner seeking process step-by-step (it’s AWESOME!!) and what’s he’s created as a result.

This episode we talk about our “go-to” habit that let’s our ego take over and work against us. We also discuss portable careers, building your own empire and what you’re willing to do, consciously and, even more importantly, subconsciously, to create a life you want. Digging deeper into careers and empires, Glen explores a term, “emotional immunity” and we debate the concept of whether you really can have it all.

Awww yeahhh. It's Glen here, holding down the description spot. This week's podcast was one of our best so far, and we are stoked to hear what you thought about it. Get at us: thebeanstalkpodcast@gmail.com We open to Meg sharing her curious case of the 'f*ck its', and what she is discovering around how to not care in the most powerful ways. The second part of the podcast is a round table discussion on the juxtaposition between altruism and selfishness and how it impacts the world and our relationships. Note: There are some insightful shares and epic rants in this one. We REALLY enjoyed recording it and we think you'll love it. DISCLAIMER: Y'all know we are a passionate bunch, and we can be quite boisterous at times. This week we are more liberal with our language. Listen in public at your own discretion.

Derv talks about the weird relationship with faith and how it showed up for her in letting go and being open.  Glen discusses spending habits for both time and monies.  Meg realizes why habits are such a hurdle in the first few weeks.

Glen talks us through how he's experimenting with digging into his subconscious by setting intentions in his meditation practise. Derv shares her perspective on the "personal development" culture available in the world and how to sort through the real stuff vs. the fluff. Meg takes her game to the next level around learning about the Law of Allowing and this is what showed up.

What's good, Beanstalkers? Glen here with your show description. An interesting Freestyle Friday coming at you today. Derv, aka 'The Voice' fills us in on what's fueling her fat loss success. Meg 'In Action' feels through the Law of Allowance (and takes us all with her). I dig into some of my learning from reading the books 'Your Brain on Porn' (I am 3 weeks without it at this point), 'The Art of Learning', and 'The 6 Pillars of Self Esteem'. This one was a hootenanny! One Love, Glen  PS. Our apologies that this is out a day late, we dealt with some technical issues and have put a structure in place to rectify them in the future.

Derv here. Today we kick it back a little while Glen speaks to us from sunny Florida, I'm recording in a closet(!), and Meg is in her go-to spot. 

In this episode, Derv gets real about her perspective on the world.  Glen talks through what he’s currently inquiring about with himself: whether everyone deserves his respect.  Meg digs into how she creates what she wants in life through communication with other people. 

In this episode, Derv explores how comparing her journey to other's is robbing her of being fully self expressed and showing up as her authentic (awesome) self. Meg discusses how status can be used as a tool to generate compassion and connection to others on a deeper level for expanded success. Glen digs into his scheduling technique and how it significantly increases the quality of his life when his Calendar and List structures are on point. point. 

What an episode! My favourite so far (it's Glen here). We covered some novel ground. Without giving too much away, here are some things that come up: The Law of Reflection - The world as you see it is a reflection of how you see yourself, including what you think works and doesn't What 'getting complete' is, and how we use it to create our lives As you listen, see what comes up for you in our experience. We are talking to each other, and we are really talking to you. One Love, Glen and The Beanstalk Crew #freestylefriday

In episode 4 of season 2 of The Beanstalk: Glen talks about how short and long-term goal setting looks in his life, as well as why busy is actually being powerless. Meg has a look at how to enjoy the present moment, and then about being coachable. Derv updates us on her breakthrough in saying “No” as well as thoughts on good vs. bad calories and how they affect a diet plan.   #FreestyleFridays

This episode Meg, Glen and Derv discuss perfectionism and it's negative effects on productivity (and sanity!), how imbalance and getting off schedule impact every area of life, as well as accidentally overcommitting, how to notice it and nip it before it gets too much, and how to know when to draw the line. Happy St.Patrick's Day and #FreeStyleFriday!

In this episode we start out discussing dating apps, weird names and the odd things we do to get attention; before getting into the meat of the conversation where we talk about having balance in life, from schedules and exercise, to furthering our talk of sleep cycles from last week.

In the kick-off to Season 2, here are a few things that Meg, Glen and Derv dig into on episode #1 of this new #FreestyleFridays format: Meditation Sleep cycles Self-employment vs. employee Unexpected wrenches in the cycles of life Dealing with things when they don’t look the way you planned

This episode we talk about how to lose weight without even thinking about it! Instead or it being a constant battle and struggle, you'll get some insight into how to set yourself to just naturally shift yourself towards weightless instead of weight gain. Sound amazing? IT IS!
