The Journey Within: Tapping into Your Innate Wisdom and Goodness
Are you feeling lost or disconnected from your purpose in life? Do you want to tap into your innate wisdom and goodness? Look no further than the journey within. In this podcast, we explore the power of going within and connecting with your body, mind, and spirit to discover your true purpose and passion in life.
Yedda Stancil provides insight that is a must-listen for anyone looking to embark on a journey of personal growth and evolution. Yedda, a certified narrative coach and mindfulness meditation teacher, shares her expertise in this podcast, breaking down the components of going within and providing simple tools for beginning, continuing, and ending the journey.
One of the key takeaways from this podcast is that the ego is not something to be feared or eliminated. Instead, we learn to work with it and use it as a guide on our journey of personal growth and evolution. By becoming aware of our thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, we can begin to break down the limiting beliefs that hold us back and prevent us from living our best lives.
The Power of Mindfulness
Mindfulness is the practice of being present and aware of our thoughts and feelings without judgment. By practicing mindfulness, we can become more aware of our internal processes and make lasting changes that lead to a more fulfilling life. Yedda emphasizes the importance of understanding the thinking, feeling, behaving process. She explains that behavior change begins and ends in the unconscious, and that true change requires addressing the thoughts and beliefs that drive our emotions and actions.
'Behavior change actually starts begins and ends in the unconscious which is what's underneath the surface of our own psyche.'
Yedda's approach to personal growth and evolution is unique in that it focuses on making friends with our own ego. She teaches clients how to become aware of their thoughts and beliefs, and how to choose which ones serve them and which ones do not.
'What I really had to learn was to how to make friends with my own ego.'
The Power of Theta Brainwaves and Reprogramming Your Habits
Many of our habits and beliefs are formed during our early childhood years, between the ages of two and seven. During this time, we are in a state of subconsciousness, which is characterized by delta and theta brainwaves. These same brainwaves are also activated during hypnosis and mindfulness practices.
Theta brainwaves are programmable, which means that we can use them to reprogram our habits and beliefs. This is where hypnosis comes in. Hypnosis is the process of pulling up subconscious thoughts and beliefs into conscious awareness, rewriting them, and then pushing them back into the subconscious. By doing this, we can change our limiting beliefs and habits and create new, more empowering ones.
But how do we know what beliefs and habits we need to change? It all starts with self-awareness. We need to go within and examine our thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. This is where mindfulness comes in. By practicing mindfulness, we can become more aware of our limiting beliefs and habits and begin to change them.
The Power of Trusting Your Soul
Yedda believes that the key to unlocking our inner power is to become still and listen to our body and mind. By tuning into our inner world, we can access a deep well of wisdom and intuition that can guide us towards our true purpose and potential.
Through mindfulness, we can learn to let go of negative patterns and beliefs that hold us back, and cultivate a sense of inner peace and compassion. This can lead to greater happiness, fulfillment, and success in all areas of our lives.
So if you're ready to take the journey within and tap into your innate wisdom and goodness, tune in to today's episode!
Powerful quotes by Yedda:
Unleash your inner wisdom and goodness to embark on a journey of personal growth. It's already inside of you!
Reprogram your behavioral habit loop with Theta brain waves and unlock your true potential.
Silence is the key to unconditioned consciousness. Cultivate your mindfulness muscle and connect with your inner knowingness.

Are you ready to redefine your relationship with aging and live a fulfilling life? Look no further than this episode of Ever Forward Radio with author Stephen Kotler. In his book, 'Gnar Country: Growing Old & Staying Rad' Kotler challenges the traditional narrative of aging and encourages us to embrace our age and continue to pursue our passions. His message is empowering and inspiring, and his insights are a reminder that aging is a natural part of life and that we should embrace it rather than fear it.
'Society's obsession with youth is harmful. We need to embrace aging and recognize that we still have a lot to offer.'
One of the key takeaways from the podcast is the importance of pushing yourself outside of your comfort zone. Kotler emphasizes the need to find your challenge skill sweet spot and to show up every day to push yourself. He believes that this is the key to peak performance and to living a fulfilling life.
Kotler also discusses the importance of group flow activities, especially for those coming out of the military community. He suggests group creative activities and action adventure sports as the best options.
So, how can you apply Kotler's insights to your own life? Start by embracing your age and recognizing that you have a lot to offer. Don't let society's obsession with youth hold you back. Instead, push yourself outside of your comfort zone and find your challenge skill sweet spot. Whether it's through group flow activities or individual pursuits, make sure you show up every day to push yourself.
Overall, this episode is a must-listen for anyone looking to redefine their relationship with aging and to live a fulfilling life. Kotler's insights are empowering and inspiring, and his message is one that everyone can benefit from. So, if you're looking to stay rad and push yourself outside of your comfort zone, be sure to check out this episode!

Powerful Quotes by Steven Kotler
We have the best chance to drop into flow when the challenge of the task is about 5% greater than the skills we’re bringing to it.
Peak performers, the best of the best, use fear as a compass.
If you want to just thrive through the course of your life, there are certain things you need to do by certain periods. By age 30, you really sort of need to solve the crisis of identity… By age 40, you sort of need what economists call match fit – a tight link between who you are and what you do with most of your time… By 50, we have to forgive ourselves and we have to forgive others who have done us wrong.
Older adults who experience incredibly powerful emotions live longer and healthier lives… one of the reasons is when we experience very powerful, positive emotions, we boost the number of T cells, which fight disease, and then natural killer cells, which target tumors and other sick cells.
Oddly, one of the biggest drivers of confidence is leg strength.

“How do I keep promises I make to myself?” This is a question I get asked a lot, and it’s one that all of us can benefit from knowing the answer to.
The ability to make and keep promises directly impacts our level of success in everything we do—whether it’s a promise to go to the gym regularly or stick to a diet, to double down on a side hustle or a relationship, or to follow through on writing a book or starting a podcast.
Listen in as I talk about the common reasons we don’t stick to our own promises, and why we shouldn’t beat ourselves up when we fail to meet our own standards. I also share four powerful tips for making better promises and seeing them through to fruition!
Follow me on Instagram @chase_chewning
Key Highlights
The word “promise” can be used as either a noun or a verb. As a noun, a promise is “a declaration or assurance that one will do a particular thing, or that a particular thing will happen.” As a verb, when you promise something, you “undertake or declare that something will happen,” or “give good grounds for expecting a particular occurrence or situation.”
Promises can quickly become too strict a commitment that holds too much emotionally-negative weight when not kept. If you’re constantly beating yourself up over broken promises, try changing your definition of “promise” from that of a noun to a verb. That means committing to the path rather than the destination. It means committing to the pursuit of the goal: the process, baby steps, and small wins required to accomplish what you set out to do.
We know that we can keep getting away with broken promises when the only person we’re accountable to is ourselves. Take the pressure off of yourself by sharing your commitments with people you’re comfortable confiding in. This not only helps you grow your sphere of accountability beyond yourself, but it also allows you to gain precious feedback from those you trust.
Lean into positive reinforcement. Reward yourself only for promises you actually keep, and dismiss the promises you fail to keep. When you assign feelings of happiness, contentment, and fulfillment to small kept promises, you’re more likely to follow through with larger promises.
If there’s a particular promise that you’re continually breaking not long after making it, consider that you don’t really want it. For the sake of your mental health and the likelihood of fulfilling all other future promises you make to yourself, you might want to walk away from that one promise you keep failing to commit to.
Powerful Quotes
If you’re repeatedly failing yourself by breaking promises, I don’t think you really want it.
The most respectable thing you can do in the act of making promises to yourself, is to always act out of your truth and to act out of integrity.
When we have clarity of what we want for our lives, every other choice and promise we make is out of integrity to our most innate truth.

EFR 706: One Year of Testosterone Replacement Therapy (TRT) and Why I am Stopping
00:00:00
00:00:00
Chase here! In this solo episode, I’m breaking down why I started testosterone replacement therapy a year ago. I share my results almost 15 months later and why I’ve decided to stop.
If you’ve followed my TRT journey on social media, you’ve seen my dosages, you’ve seen how I’ve changed physically, and you’ve seen how my numbers have gone up at the gym. But there’s a lot that I haven’t shared yet. I haven’t shared how I’ve administered my dosages, nor the side effects I’ve experienced.
Listen in as I come clean about my testosterone replacement therapy journey, from why I started in the first place, to specifics regarding my labs and personal regimen, and why my journey is coming to an end.
Key Highlights
I was determined to enter my 37th birthday in October 2022 as the best me possible. I didn’t just want to look at my best. I wanted to feel at my best. I was no slouch at 36. I was doing great physically, and I felt it. But I knew there was room for fine-tuning. I became more regimented, both inside and outside the gym, but being in my mid-30s, I began to struggle with keeping up that level of motivation. Not to mention it was tough to maintain my body composition despite my increased efforts. This was why I decided to explore TRT to provide that edge.
If you’re considering TRT, the very first thing you should do is check in with yourself. Do a head-to-toe scan and be as objective as you can, and even a little critical, about what you see and feel. Get clear on what you want out of your day and out of your training. Compare those ideals with your current day-to-day realities. Always keep in mind that TRT is not a quick fix—not that you should ever pursue anything because it’s a quick fix anyway!
I ultimately decided to stop testosterone replacement therapy for two reasons. The first was that I experienced skin issues that slightly impacted my social life. Secondly, even though TRT did not negatively impact my sexual activity, I’ve recently decided to prioritize my fertility health over my muscle mass. These two reasons are why, after 14 months, I’ve begun to titrate down and eventually go off TRT completely.
Powerful Quotes
Do not pursue anything in life that is going to be a quick fix.
Living a life ever forward is choosing the hard right over the easy wrong.
If I’m begrudgingly going into any task, I’m stressed and my cortisol is elevated. When you keep cortisol elevated chronically, it’s a slippery slope to a lot of bad things.

What contributes more to happiness - personal evolution or professional evolution?
Research shows that both personal and professional growth are crucial for overall well-being, but in different ways. Personal evolution focuses on our inner development, such as improving our relationships, finding our purpose, and developing self-awareness. Professional evolution, on the other hand, centers around career advancement and financial stability.
We welcome back Cody McBroom, a coach specializing in fitness and nutrition, and he believes that personal evolution is the key to unlocking true happiness. He stresses that working on our inner selves, such as setting goals that align with our values and working on our emotional intelligence, can have a profound impact on our overall satisfaction with life.
Speaking of emotional intelligence, Cody emphasizes the importance of listening to our feelings when it comes to our health and fitness goals. He believes that our bodies are intelligent and can provide us with important information about what we need. For instance, if we're feeling tired, it may be a sign that we need more rest rather than pushing ourselves through another workout.
However, Cody also acknowledges that sometimes we need to push through our feelings in order to make progress. This is particularly true when it comes to sticking to a healthy meal plan or exercise routine. He encourages his clients to develop self-discipline and commit to their goals even when it feels tough.
But what about after we've reached our goals? Cody's approach to coaching people through maintenance involves finding a sustainable balance between healthy habits and indulgences. He emphasizes the importance of enjoying the journey and finding ways to make healthy living enjoyable rather than a chore.
One way to optimize our health and fitness is by focusing on our hormones. Cody highlights the connection between hormones, sleep, and body composition. He suggests prioritizing sleep and reducing stress levels to optimize hormonal balance and achieve our desired body composition.
Finally, Cody shares his candid opinion on body positivity. While he believes in promoting self-love and body acceptance, he also acknowledges that there is a fine line between body positivity and encouraging unhealthy habits. He encourages his clients to focus on making healthy choices that make them feel good, rather than solely striving for a certain aesthetic.

Powerful Quotes by Cody McBroom
If you can work through your own pain in your story, you’re able to help somebody else work through theirs and their story.
I’ll never be satisfied, but I am constantly fulfilled.
What you’re doing in maintenance is going to serve your next physical goal and that’s really important.
There’s a reason why working really hard has a very strong dopamine response afterwards and if you just get handed that result, it doesn’t have that same dopamine response. It’s the work you put in to get that that matters.

EFR 704: How I Remove Limiting Beliefs, Live Intentionally, Set Boundaries & Stay Committed to Myself
00:00:00
00:00:00
From a recent conversation with Eli Weinstein, in this episode I share my decades-long journey to discovering and embracing the real Chase Chewning! It’s a journey that reached its critical point when I turned 35 during the COVID outbreak in 2020.
Like everyone else, my world was flipped on its head, and I’d started questioning deep-seated beliefs I’d held all my life. My goal? To rid myself of the beliefs that didn’t serve me and replace them with beliefs that do.
The one question that I always asked myself, whether or not I was conscious of it, was:
“Do I feel safe?” And ultimately, that boiled down to yet another question: “Am I loved?”
And if I felt no safety or love at any moment—in holding onto a given belief, in interacting with a certain individual, in inhabiting a particular room—then I gained the clarity and the courage to climb over those walls that kept me in and found my freedom.
Eli and I give our thoughts on the process of living an intentional life with a full commitment to oneself, from setting healthy boundaries, to avoiding a life lived in fear of other people’s opinions, to the true meaning of living life ever forward.
Follow me on Instagram @chase_chewning
Follow me on TikTok @chase_chewning
Key Highlights
We take a lot of our beliefs for granted, mainly because we lived our whole lives up to this point assuming they were fundamental “truths”. But if we really sit down and think about those beliefs, we can determine which of them serve us and which of them are nothing more than destructive forces that impede our growth.
When we find ourselves needing to walk away from someone in our life who no longer supports our mental or emotional health, we need to fall back on our boundaries. It’s easier said than done to create strong, healthy boundaries, but we need them in order to stay in a constant state of safety, security, and love.
We fall into selfishness when we rely on others to dictate our moral compass. This can be as serious as having our values shaped by other people or as insignificant as wearing certain clothes to avoid being judged in a certain way by those around us.
Living life “ever forward” comes down to sharing lessons learned from significant, often difficult, life experiences with others, whether through conversations or creating content or even monetizing those lessons through a product.
Powerful Quotes
There’s something extremely dynamic and extremely radical about shifting—rebuilding your entire belief system and framework for who you are and what you want to do.
One of my core values is integrity: doing whatever I deem to be right whether I’m in the presence of others or in the presence of myself.
How much more powerful are our human experiences when we connect with another person who just gets us?

99% of what I do on a day-to-day basis wasn’t even invented when I graduated dental school. If I stopped learning, I’d be a dinosaur.
You can really eat whatever you want… it’s just a matter of cleaning your teeth. The worst thing you can do for your teeth - well, there’s a few things - is something like a breath mint with sugar in it that you’re sucking all day long.
You have to really work hard to get to the successful place and then you have to work even harder to stay there.

Humble the Poet goes deep about all things self-love, romantic love, overcoming societal pressures, and the true value of self-awareness and vulnerability. He highlights a few concepts from his new book, “How to Be Love(d): Simple Truths for Going Easier on Yourself, Embracing Imperfection, & Loving Your Way to a Better Life”.
Let’s humbly admit that we all want a better, easier life, and we all want love. We all want to love and be loved… but what stops us from experiencing that and how can we create more pathways for love to enter our lives? That’s what we’re exploring in this episode.
Humble the Poet (Kanwer Mahl) is a Canadian-born artist, rapper, spoken-word poet, international best-selling author, and former elementary school teacher with a wildly popular blog with over 100,000 monthly readers. He is the author of “Unlearn”, “Things No One Else Can Teach Us”, and most recently, “How to Be Love(d)”.\

Key Highlights
Humble the Poet sheds light on his upbringing as a child of immigrants, from the fomo of celebrating holidays to the subtle awards for Americanizing yourself.
What is society? What is society trying to pressure you to do? When you reflect on that, you begin to see the distinction between reward and punishment, needs and wants, truth and falsehoods.
Why is it so hard to find love or to keep love? If you find yourself thinking that in a relationship, ask yourself: is this actually love? Love should not be demanding anything of you, other than honesty and presence.
Humble shares the meaning behind his quote: “Love is the breeze, the work that we have to do is to open the sail.”
Vulnerability is the key that unlocks love in all forms. If you don’t have love in your life, maybe your sail is just closed. How is vulnerability different than honesty? Tune in to hear Humble’s answer!
Humble describes why we should abandon the concept of good and bad.
We’re more in control of our relationship with ourselves. If we were kinder on ourselves, it’d be easier to be kinder to others.
One of the biggest mistakes we make with love is measuring its value through a timeline. Love doesn’t have a timeline. To Humble, it’s all about creating pathways of love.
Powerful Quotes by Humble the Poet
A lot of the things that are preventing us from realizing love are needs to be accepted by our community, our population, our society.
I had built so many layers of protection. I had built a fortress to protect myself from the world and from getting hurt… that I didn’t realize that that fortress was really a prison.
Go easy on yourself because everything that is around you wants you to go in the opposite direction.
If I were able to encourage a religion on anybody, it would be the religion of self-awareness.
What really disturbs our peace is avoiding the pain.

Key Highlights
What is hypnotherapy? Hypnotherapy is a therapeutic practice that uses guided hypnosis to help a client reach a transcendent-like state of focus, concentration, diminished peripheral awareness, and heightened suggestability.
Sam explains how hypnotherapy and sensory-based focus can be used in therapeutic processes to reconstruct our internal experience.
He notes the similarities and differences between hypnotherapy, meditation, and mindfulness.
The world is so stimulating that many of us have realized we’re not as relaxed as we think we are. That’s why people feel loopy and out of it after their first hypnotherapy session - it’s because they’re actually relaxed and they’ve forgotten what that feels like. Once you build that awareness, you can begin cultivating more of that in your life.
Sam describes how creating deep change isn’t harder than creating simple change… it just requires a different set of skills.
Resilience is one of the best skills you can develop to create change, maintain momentum, and accomplish your goals.
People are using hypnotherapy to change the gut microbiome, improve gut health, and even heal IBS. How? Does hypnotherapy work just as well as the FODMAP diet? Tune in to find out!
Lastly, Sam highlights the benefits of hypnotherapy in treating chronic pain.
Powerful Quotes by Sam Visnic
I’d like to be able to call upon a lot of different states and resources rather than just being able to shut my mind off.
When you’re talking about working with and changing deeper things, technically, changing a deeper thing isn’t more hard or difficult than changing a simple thing, you just need to know how to make changes at that level.
When you see [a hypnotherapist] who is professional, who is ethical, the outcome is to do very much what we talked about today which is help you get from where you are to where you want to be and not do things to you so much as to pull forth and extract resources within you that can help teach you to access those resources on your own.

Powerful Quotes by Rebecca Zung
It’s always a world of scarcity, not a world of abundance with a narcissist. They just never feel like it’s enough.
Everything is a negotiation. Everything is a decision. You’re one decision away, every minute of the day, from being the most powerful version of yourself.
99% of a negotiation is won before you even walk into the room because if you don’t believe you can win, nobody can help you.
