Summary

On this solo episode of The Brad Jensen Show, I go deeper into something that has completely changed how I move through the world. Learning to disconnect from outside noise and focus on what I actually have power over.

We live in a time where we are constantly being pulled into things we cannot control. News cycles, social media outrage, other people's opinions, and problems that are way bigger than any one person. And yet we give them our energy every single day.

In this episode, I talk about the idea of powerlessness and how much freedom comes when you stop fighting what you cannot change.

I share how the Serenity Prayer has had a profound impact on my life and how it continues to guide my decision making, my emotional state, and how I show up as a father, coach, and human.

We talk about why trying to control everything is one of the fastest ways to feel anxious, angry, and burnt out.

And why real peace comes from putting your attention back on the few things that are actually in your control.

Your effort

Your consistency

Your actions

Your behaviors

Your integrity

This episode is an invitation to stop carrying weight that was never yours to hold and to start building your life around what you can influence.

Because when you stop wasting energy on what you cannot change, life starts working with you instead of against you.

If you have been feeling overwhelmed, frustrated, or disconnected, this one is for you.

Listen in and decide what you are finally ready to release.

I mean, you'll get the next day, but it's the only that day you'll ever get. And not all days are going to be good. It's probably irrelevant to say, but I genuinely hope you're having a good day.

1:57.1

clients getting on the stuff and their providers are not really educating them some of them are just their general physician and they don't really even know much about it. I'll call you in your script. Others are actual clinics. Some do a better job than others. I by no means I'm dogging on all them. But I think there's some communication lines broken where us as the coaches kind of have to be on the front line telling clients, oh, that's a normal side effect. Did your doctor not tell you about that? And we just saw the pitfalls that people are falling into. And so we really want to help you. And thank God, they have coaching. So we were able to course correct them quickly, but you at home might not have a coach, which I think is vital if you're going to be
