What does it mean to be the alchemist of your own life? Taylor breaks down what energetic alchemy is and how it can be used to transform your life into something new and more vibrant. Taylor expands on the powerful concept of spiritual bypassing and how to eliminate shame and guilt in your life by utilizing compassion and grace. She shares her candid thoughts on where most of us struggle in our emotional, vibrational journey and how to get your power back. "I do believe that people outsourcing their power is one of the main, if not the main, reasons why we are where we are," Taylor says. There's power and wisdom in being able to see and observe things without immediately going into a mindset of judgment. Taylor notes that whatever's holding you back from seeing and expressing more love and worthiness is what needs to be healed. Remember, you're not alone. We all have things we're healing from and healing starts with bringing awareness to what needs to be healed. Taylor sheds light on her unique life story and what led her to practicing energetic alchemy, highlighting why she joined the Mormon church in her 20s and why she left. Lastly, Taylor shares a few ways to communicate what you're thinking and feeling (and the importance of expressing that) to someone else. Episode resources: Apply to the 2023 Ever Forward Mentorship!

They also detail how their company, Living Prana, is supporting the world-wide evolution of mental health and wellness. Stress is oftentimes all we know as humans. Many people are in a constant state of stress and their body is so used to it, they don't even know what it's like to be in a state of balance. Stress can be created in your home environment, your career, past traumas, an imbalance in the body, and countless other sources. Tune in to learn how you can reduce stress, eliminate brain fog, and bring your body and mind back to balance - all by eating pancakes!

Chase also shares his personal experience of how adaptogens changed the quality of his daily life. Why do we reach for foods as a quick fix, rather than a long-term health solution?

EFR 639: Using Anxiety and Grief to Your Advantage and Overcoming Emotional Regression with Britt Frank
Britt Frank is a trauma therapist and the author of The Science of Stuck: Breaking Through Inertia to Find Your Path Forward. Today's conversation centers largely on the topic of emotional regression: that all-too-common anxiety-inducing feeling that you are younger than your chronological age. Britt says that this is an issue that needs to be talked about more, because it can affect anybody regardless of their mental health status—even the most successful men and women in society. Some signs of emotional regression? Indecisiveness, fear of making people angry, can't say "no", emotional explosions, wanting to be the "favorite" child/employee/friend, imposter syndrome, and many more. Believing that "surviving childhood is trauma in and of itself," Britt asserts that, "if you don't grieve the fact that your childhood is over, you end up repeating it." At the same time, Britt notes that humans are a "sliding scale", constantly swinging from equilibrium to one extreme to another and back again. According to Britt, instead of trying to practice "self-regulation" all the time on one end, or being overly emotional and passionate on the other, we need to be willing to embrace a dynamic way of life. This way, we allow ourselves to consciously shift from one emotional state to each other, and from a state of high energy to a state of rest, acknowledging that how we feel is completely and utterly how our body wants us to feel in the moment. Britt reminds us that "our brain is on our side"—that anxiety is simply a sign telling us that something needs to be addressed. This means allowing ourselves to grieve, as opposed to suppressing that grief, is what will ultimately lead to our healing. Follow Britt @brittfrank Follow Chase @chase_chewning Key Highlights Britt breaks down the phenomenon of "emotional regression": those excruciating moments—usually taking place around one's parents—where one feels younger than their actual age, and why many of even the most successful individuals go through it. Like the titular character in Alice in Wonderland, emotional regression makes us feel too big one moment and too small the next: your "yes" was really a "no"; you feel guilty when you fail and guilty when you succeed; you feel like an imposter half the time and a narcissistic monster the other half. Britt describes emotional regression as a psychological longing for "home"—by extension defining homeostasis as feeling at home in your body, mind, and heart. Britt unpacks grief as it relates to emotional regression and lays out the four steps to healthy grieving. She also explains why she sees anxiety as a superpower that can help us get unstuck on our road to healing. You don't need to wait until you've hit rock-bottom to change. Britt shares how you can start taking those baby steps to turn your life around today, and explains why feeling "fine" is far from fine.

EFR 638: The Future of Entrepreneurship, Creating New Opportunities and Innovation and How to Build for Tomorrow
Society has changed, technology has changed, the way we work has changed, everything has changed! Change can feel overwhelming or confusing, but not if you know how to change with it. Allow us to introduce you to the one and only, Jason Feifer, editor in chief of Entrepreneur magazine, podcast host, author, startup advisor, keynote speaker, and "nonstop optimism machine". Jason believes that change is inevitable, but thriving is up to you… and he's here to tell you how. In this discussion, Chase and Jason talk about the present and future of work, what's changed in the workforce and entrepreneurship space over the past two years (since covid began), and how to create opportunities and innovation in your life and business. Follow Jason Feifer @heyfeifer Follow Chase on Instagram @chase_chewning Follow him on Twitter @chasechewning Key Highlights The pandemic has caused many companies to restructure their organization and work flows. If we focused less how much time people are spending working and instead focused more on what they produce, we can start to create more flexibility in how people work together. Efficiency is necessary, but it can be the death of innovation. Do you know what really killed Kodak? Facebook. Every company needs someone (or a team) whose job is to come up with new opportunities. The best type of opportunity you can pursue is the opportunity that is available to you that nobody is asking you to do. How do ensure we're moving forward in a direction of expansion? Tune in to hear a story from Jason that illustrates his answer. What is Jason's billion dollar question he wants entrepreneurs to ask themselves? He dedicated a whole blank page in his new book for this question: What is it for? "It's just so valuable for all of us if we can think about the cycle of change we're in right now as the conscious cycle," Jason says, "This is the one that you pay attention to, that you take notes on, that you have documented evidence… so that when you get through it… [and] the next time you go through it, you can look back and you can say… it's gonna work out again."

EFR 637: Mindfulness Techniques for Minimizing Stress and Anxiety and How to Have a Better Relationship with Yourself with Eli Weinstein
How do you find meaning and stillness in your daily life? That could sound like a loaded question, but if you take a step back and think about it, meaning and stillness are things we get to relish in every single day… if we're mindful about it! Eli Weinstein, a Licensed Clinical Social Work Therapist, is passionate about sharing tips and tools for no BS mental health, wellness, and everyday life. He's here to do just that. In this discussion, Chase and Eli talk about navigating parenthood, partnership, and your relationship with yourself. He shares his simple, yet powerful techniques for minimizing anxiety, stress, overwhelm, and the societal noise we're constantly exposed to. Then, he sheds light on three major mental health issues the world is facing right now and why we should be aware of them. Follow Eli Weinstein @eliweinstein_lcsw Follow Chase on Instagram @chase_chewning Follow him on Twitter @chasechewning Key Highlights Eli explains how to begin the process of "dating yourself", getting to know yourself, and developing a healthy relationship with the Self. Remember, start small. Choosing to not do things can be just as powerful as choosing to do things. He details the impact of stillness on everything from productivity to self-awareness and relaxation, touching on how he finds stillness with ADHD. The intensity of social media can cause our brain to go into survival mode, creating an internal stress system pumping adrenaline into your body. Turn off your push notifications, avoid mindless scrolling, and avoid picking up your phone the second you wake up. At the root, taking care of yourself and enhancing the quality of your life is about learning how to just BE with yourself, your thoughts, and your feelings, learning to enjoy your life where you're at (not through a screen). When we isolate ourselves, we get stuck in our thoughts and we feel alone. The pandemic caused a lot of isolation, whether we wanted it or not, and that's a slippery slope to mental illness. Embrace your whole self, your inner and outer worlds, and get help when you need it. It might just change your entire life.

EFR 636: It's Not Me, It's You - Break the Blame Cycle, Relationship Better, and Untangle Common Barriers with Your Partner with John Kim and Vanessa Bennett
What would happen if you approached both your relationships with yourself and your partner through a lens of curiosity instead of judgment and resentment? Chances are you'd experience more love, comfort, and happiness. In this episode, John Kim and Vanessa Bennett share their best insights on cultivating a quality relationship with yourself and your partner, the hard work it takes to "relationship better", and tips and tactics for overcoming the barriers to having a healthy relationship. Most importantly, John and Vanessa talk about the power of approaching relationships through a lens of curiosity instead of judgment. John and Vanessa, two psychologists, therapists, and life partners are the authors of the new book, "It's Not Me, It's You: Break the Blame Cycle. Relationship Better". In its pages, as well as in this episode, the pair analyzes their own relationship to help untangle the common and frustrating barriers many individuals face on the road to a happy, loving, rewarding partnership. Follow John @theangrytherapist Follow Vanessa @vanessabennett Follow Chase on Instagram @chase_chewning Follow him on Twitter @chasechewning Key Highlights John and Vanessa talk about how to constructively call your partner out. The trick? Trying to understand before trying to be understood. You'll learn how to open up in a relationship and build trusting communication with your partner instead of sweeping issues and conflicts under the rug. You don't know everything about your partner, which is exciting! John and Vanessa break down why it's important to get out of judgment and get into curiosity and how to go about doing that in your partnership. Fire needs air, meaning if you want passion, you need desire, space, and an understanding of and connection with the self. If you do things for yourself that excite you, you'll be more able to be excited by your partner. Is it okay to fantasize about and be attracted to other people when you're in a relationship?
