One of the hallmarks of any healthy relationship is trust. But that also includes the relationship with yourself. How many times have you had a career reinvention that you've put on hold because you didn't trust yourself to make the right choice? How many things have you not created in the world because you didn't trust your instinct or vision? Maybe a relationship because you didn't trust your internal picker, so you ran away or sabotaged it even though it was a healthy relationship? What is it that's holding everything back? This week, we go deep and Dan is going to talk directly to your inner child to help you get to the root of your self trust issues so you can finally create more time, money and freedom. Plus you'll get the counter-intuitive strategy to stay connected to your creativity and inter-guru.

One of the biggest conversations happening in Dan's coaching community is about how to feel safe. Safe enough to use your voice and be seen as a leader. Safe enough to leave an unfulfilling corporate job to follow your calling. Safe enough to set boundaries at work and in relationships. Safe enough to ask for your needs. And unfortunately with recent headlines in the United States, safe enough to be able to go to the supermarket or send your kids to school.  The need for safety and security is primal. But the question is... how do you get there? If you're like most of Dan's clients, you might have been taught how to feel safe within yourself. As a result, it keeps you in patterns of trying to control and manipulate the external circumstances of your life and living in reaction to reaction. Let's end that pattern today. On this episode, we're talking about how to create safety in uncertain times but from within.  Follow Dan on Instagram at http://instagram.com/cscdanmason To learn how to work with Dan one-on-one, visit http://creativesoulcoaching.net See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The #1 life reinvention roadblock for many unfulfilled high performers is what Dan likes to call "the burden of the breadwinner." On one hand, you feel a duty to financially provide for and protect the people you love. On the other hand, your soul is crying out to be a whole human being. One with a healthy balance of purposeful work, authentic self expression and love and play. It's a tension of opposites. It can keep you paralyzed in a soul-sucking job, but also lead to burnout, anxiety, relationship tension and regret. This week, Dan does a deep dive into the burden of the breadwinner and how it impacts high earning men and women in different ways. Plus, you'll get five tips to release yourself from the burden. So you can thrive in a life with less anxiety, more support and newfound fulfillment.

Dan recently asked his social media followers "What would you do with your career in 2022 if you knew with total certainty that success was assured?" Would you leave your corporate job and start your own business? Would you stay in the stability of a 9-5 but pivot into a new, more fulfilling career? Or would you stay in your current career and simply switch roles? The results were overwhelming in one direction. 45% on Instagram and 50% on LinkedIn said they'd leave corporate and start their own business.  That tracks with Goggle's latest search data... "How to start a business" beat out "how to get a job" in all of their search metrics in 2021. While millions are quitting their jobs, many are doing it for the freedom to be their own boss. So where do you go from here? This week on the podcast, Dan reflects on his own journey out of corporate America in 2015 and gives you 5 points to consider to help you start your business and take charge of your future.  Follow Dan on Instagram at http://instagram.com/cscdanmason To learn how to work with Dan one-on-one, visit http://creativesoulcoaching.net   See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
