Ever catch yourself calling you names you’d never use for a friend—“lazy”, “weak”, “not good enough”? In this bite-sized episode, I invite you to pull up a chair in an imaginary support group and notice the kindness you’d naturally show to others. What if you offered that same warmth to yourself?

In this episode of One Minute Wisdom, I explore a growing concern: the mental health of Gen Z. A recent survey shows that 63% of young adults rate their mental health as less than good.

I also share how tools like Focus Reset and Self-Compassion, from the 4-step Change Process, can help young people reconnect with their Conscious Mind and find a way forward with kindness and clarity.

In this episode of One Minute Wisdom: Executive Edition, I explore the power of the Focus Reset. An essential practice for leaders navigating high-stakes moments. Discover how a simple pause can shift you from reactive to responsive, helping you lead with clarity, composure, and intention. Before the next difficult conversation or decision, try resetting, because presence starts with awareness.

In this episode of One Minute Wisdom, I invite you to consider “The Funeral Question”. A thought-provoking exercise that shines a light on what truly matters. By imagining how you’d like to be remembered, you’ll reconnect with the values that guide your daily actions. It’s not about legacy, it’s about living with intention, integrity, and alignment.

A gentle reminder that every day offers a chance to change course and lead a life that reflects who you truly want to be.

In this brief episode, I explore The Mirror Test. A values based check-in designed to help you reflect on whether your actions align with the person you want to be.

It’s not about perfection, but about conscious choices. Was I kind? Was I fair? Did I live today the way I meant to?

Take care and keep passing your Mirror Test.
