The reality is that only way to change your life is to change your habits. Setting bigger goals is fun—but if you don’t identify and implement the habits that are necessary to achieving your goals, you’ll be setting yourself up for disappointment.

Today, I'm sharing four (4) simple steps that will help you transform your habits, which are so easy to implement that you'll feel like you can't fail. Once they're part of your routine, they become automatic, to the point where I don't even think of them anymore.

Whether you're looking to improve your health, your finances, your mindset, or your relationships, these simple steps will help eliminate resistance and help create new habits that are practical and sustainable.

I'll also share tips on avoiding the common pitfalls that hold people back, aligning your habits with your identity, and how small, consistent changes can completely transform your life. If you've struggled with creating new habits and tend to get stuck in old patterns, you'll be able to take that first step towards the goals that align with who you are and who you want to become.

This episode is incredibly long overdue but the stars aligned, and I had the chance to interview someone who has been instrumental in helping me become the man I am today. That person is none other than my mom, Julie Wilson. I can’t wait for you to hear her story and mine from her perspective.

You’ve heard me talk about many of the difficult chapters in my life—losing my sister, surviving a near-fatal car crash, battling cancer—but today, you’ll hear those stories through the eyes of the woman who lived them right alongside me. And when I say literally, I mean literally beside me.

My mom has been through more than most: the heartbreaking loss of a daughter (my sister), raising a rebellious teen (yep, that was me), watching me fight for my life multiple times, and most recently, surviving a serious fall that shattered her heel and broke her wrist. And yet, she remains one of the most joyful, optimistic, and resilient people I know. Her strength doesn’t come from avoiding hardship—it comes from choosing laughter, faith, and service in the face of it.

Whether you’re a parent, a child, or someone simply navigating a tough season with life’s curveballs, this episode is packed with love, wisdom, and great perspective. You’ll learn how the positive mindset that I have today started when I was very young, why my family chooses to focus on the good things and not on the things that are out of our control, and how my mom lives with unshakable joy, even when life gets tough.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• How the words “Can’t Change It” is more than a phrase—it’s our way of life
• How my mom turned the loss of her daughter into a mission of healing for others
• Why giving tough love is necessary sometimes, especially when raising teenagers
• The positive mindset my mom had after a devastating fall from a ladder
• Her simple advice on true happiness and feeling young at heart
• That it’s better to give than to receive and why my mom is compelled to help others

Dealing with trauma and shame from our past can be tremendously heavy burdens to carry—but they don’t have to define us.

These horrible experiences often shape our identity, our relationships, and even how we view the world. But one of the most important conversations we can have is how to heal from those experiences.

It’s my pleasure to introduce you to Daniela Tilbrook. Daniela is a trauma survivor, coach, and the author of the powerful new book, Not My Shame: Healing Childhood Trauma. She shares her deeply personal journey of surviving a decade of childhood sexual abuse, the years of silence that followed, and the transformative steps she’s taken to heal, reclaim her voice, and now helps others do the same.

You’ll hear how meditation and The Miracle Morning were game-changers for Daniela in rebuilding a sense of faith and purpose and helped her shift from surviving to enjoying a purposeful life again. Whether you’ve experienced trauma yourself or want to support someone who has, this episode offers a message of hope, practical tools for healing, and a reminder that no matter your past, you have the power to choose your future.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Why shame is never yours to carry—and how to give it back
• Daniela’s LIGHT framework for healing trauma and reclaiming life
• How the Miracle Morning helped Daniela shift from surviving to thriving
• The power of affirmations and daily rituals in trauma recovery
• How to break free from overthinking, inaction, and victimhood
• Why finding your purpose transforms pain into power
