Strive to Thrive : The Purposely Positive Podcast

We spend our whole lives chasing freedom. We think if we just get the next promotion, hit that financial milestone, or fix our external circumstances, we’ll finally be free. But that’s actually the ultimate trap. You see, true freedom isn't out there. It’s a choice you make on the inside. It’s time to stop letting the world control you and step into a beautiful state of being. With me, that’s what our heart desires. On today’s episode, Tony Wechsler and Anastasia Cardea are going to discuss, "Freedom from Within."Anastasia can be reached on Social Media: https://www.facebook.com/anastasiacardeahttps://www.instagram.com/anastasia.cardeaOr check out her website and download her free guide to help you find Freedom from Within. https://anastasiacardea.com/As always, you are invited to join the Strive to Thrive Facebook group for a supportive community.... https://www.facebook.com/groups/strivetothrivepage   BTW...If you love this episode, please take a screenshot, share it on your Facebook story and tag me @TonyWechsler And remember to download the eBook, Strive to Thrive at https://tonywcoaching.com/  

Have you ever gone to a party, a social event, or maybe you were doing some business networking, and you were meeting all kinds of people. Some of them seem ok, but are very much forgettable. But then, there’s that deep connection. The one that you feel deep inside, where you’re talking to someone and you feel really comfortable, like you’ve known them your whole life, and it even can feel like there’s a warm chord of light between you and this person. It feels like magic, and that’s the connection we’re all looking for.

Addiction tells you that you are alone. It tells you that you are broken beyond repair, and that tomorrow will just look like every other day.

You know the type - someone who seems to have it all together. They’re productive, reliable, always showing up and getting things done… but inside they’re running on empty, quietly struggling with stress, anxiety, or burnout. On the outside everything looks fine. On the inside, it’s a different story. So how does this trap work, why is it so easy to get stuck in, and what does it actually take to climb out? On today’s episode, Tony Wechsler and Sarah Carter are going to discuss, “The High Functioning Trap.”Sarah Can be reached by email at: [email protected] can also be found on Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/sarah-carter-b65b6b24b/And check out her previous episode: https://open.spotify.com/episode/5b0bPJGaNdDxcyC6IPhwacAs always, you are invited to join the Strive to Thrive Facebook group for a supportive community.... https://www.facebook.com/groups/strivetothrivepage   BTW...If you love this episode, please take a screenshot, share it on your Facebook story and tag me @TonyWechsler And remember to download the eBook, Strive to Thrive at https://tonywcoaching.com/

We all experience difficult emotions. The question isn't whether you'll face fear, anger, or disappointment, it's what you'll do with them. Emotional alchemy is learning how to process those emotions in a healthy way, so they become a source of wisdom, resilience, and personal growth rather than something that keeps you stuck. It's about using every experience to become stronger, wiser, and better equipped for what's next. Today on the podcast, I want to welcome back my dear friend Larissa and we’re going to discuss, “Emotional Alchemy and Relationships.” Larissa can be reached on Social Media: https://www.instagram.com/the.art.of.manifesting.love https://www.facebook.com/larissa.swtAs always, you are invited to join the Strive to Thrive Facebook group for a supportive community.... https://www.facebook.com/groups/strivetothrivepage   BTW...If you love this episode, please take a screenshot, share it on your Facebook story and tag me @TonyWechsler And remember to download the eBook, Strive to Thrive at https://tonywcoaching.com/

It's hard to believe that a quarter of a century has passed since that morning that changed our country—and, in many ways, changed the world. Today, I don't want to talk about just news. I don't want to debate the events of that day. And I certainly don't want to sensationalize one of the darkest days in our nation's history. Instead, I want to remember. So let's remember, pay tribute to the heroes of that day, and most importantly, I also want to leave you with something positive. Because even in the middle of tragedy, there were incredible examples of courage, compassion, sacrifice, and humanity.Feel free to email me at [email protected] and send me your stories about that tragic day.As always, you are invited to join the Strive to Thrive Facebook group for a supportive community.... https://www.facebook.com/groups/strivetothrivepage   BTW...If you love this episode, please take a screenshot, share it on your Facebook story and tag me @TonyWechsler And remember to download the eBook, Strive to Thrive at https://tonywcoaching.com/  

In a world increasingly shaped by artificial intelligence, the question is not how we compete with these machines, but how we remain fully human alongside them. As humans, our capacity for presence, empathy, creativity, and meaning still defines us in ways no algorithm can duplicate.  So how do we compete and still honor that humanness in everyday life. On today’s episode, Tony Wechsler and Andrea Fung are going to discuss, “Reclaiming the Human Spirit in an AI World.”Andrea can best be reached through her FB Page: https://www.facebook.com/Andi.FWLAnd be sure to check out her previous episode: https://open.spotify.com/episode/77JyBVeWBv7q6QkMuyIjdnAs always, you are invited to join the Strive to Thrive Facebook group for a supportive community.... https://www.facebook.com/groups/strivetothrivepage   BTW...If you love this episode, please take a screenshot, share it on your Facebook story and tag me @TonyWechsler And remember to download the eBook, Strive to Thrive at https://tonywcoaching.com/
