The Life You Want Is Resting Above Your Shoulders
Humans Are Messy isn’t a catch phrase - although it IS kind of catchy, right? It is the reality of life that each of us must manage everyday! Yes, humans are messy, but we are also creative, caring and clever enough to make our own lives better and those of others throughout the world. We created this platform to explore ideas, share experiences, learn from each other, and ultimately create a space where the way we behave with each other matters and finding compassion for the messes we make rather than amplified outrage that only makes more of a mess! Our pledge is a commitment to inspire you and others to be their best selves and achieve what you want in your life.
There are many podcasts that give you information about strategies to change the way you think to achieve your goals, but they will not work if you don’t acknowledge and manage your emotions in the past, present and imagined future. The core of all human behavior lies in the limbic system, which feels the world and then processes those emotions into long-term memory so you don’t forget whatever happened to cause them. You can learn all about how your limbic system is a frenemy hiding within you in a 3-part podcast episode by Dr. A (human performance scientist).
The important thing for anyone who wants to live life to their fullest is to understand that emotional processing affects all other processes in the brain! So, if you have your feelings locked down in either conscious or subconscious memory through denial, compensation, suppression, disregard, or bravado they will inevitably wreak havoc on your ability to live the life the way you want.
What sets us apart others is our intention to help everyone become more aware of the unacknowledged barriers each of us has hiding in long term memory. Only then is it possible to determine the appropriate mental strategies with other parts of your brain to get past those barriers (hello prefrontal cortex!)
Our aims are to help you get out of your own way and by understanding how you can leverage the miracle that sits atop your spine to achieve your own goals. By exploring concepts, ideas, experiences, stories, lessons learned from successes and failures, and inspiration from others who are committed to being their best selves while living the life they want.
