The Power of Pain - Episode 250

We’re going to go pretty deep today, but I guarantee that you’ll enjoy this episode and have some great takeaways. There’s a verse in the Bible that says, “I am the vine and you are the branches.” And in John 15:2, it says the Father “prunes” or cuts the branches “so that it will be even more fruitful” So how can we apply this to our daily lives and make a better world for ourselves and for those around us? On today’s , Tony Wechsler and Dr. Desjamebra "DJ" Robinson are going to discuss, “Cutting the Branches.” DJ can be reached at her website where you can find links to her social media as well as her YouTube channel and other broadcasts, and links for her books. https://drdjrobinson.com/As always, you are invited to join the Strive to ThriveFacebook 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/

During our 2025 summer rerun series, I replayed one of my favorite episodes from a few years back.

On today's episode, Tony Wechsler and Andreea Mihalcea continue the discussion as we learn how to “Lead with Your Heart to Fulfillment.”You can check out Andreea's previous episode here: https://open.spotify.com/episode/0XH7P0SeNHPEqGFmZAPNXZAndreea can be reached on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/AndreeaMOfficialAs always, you are invited to join the Strive to ThriveFacebook 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/  

Benjamin Franklin once said that "Without continual growth and progress, such words as improvement, achievement and success have no meaning." But too many people resist growth and change because they are looking for the perfect moment. I’ve always believed that in order to succeed, “done is better than perfect.” On today’s episode, Tony Wechsler and Soria Kakar are going to discuss how we are “Here to Grow, not to be Perfect.” Soria can be reached on Social Media: https://www.facebook.com/soria.kakar.9You can get her free eBook at: https://e-book.kakarsoria.com/e-bookAs 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 our last "summer re-run" for this series, I wanted to bring back this episode from 2022 as we definitely had a great conversation about this topic.

Back in 2023 I recorded this great interview with my dear friend, Andreea Mihalcea. I felt it was worth repeating for our "summer rerun" series. There’s a great quote from Walt Disney that goes, “Let your heart guide you…it whispers, so listen closely.” And I love what the American Business Genius and Founder of Apple Steve Jobs said, “Have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become.” On today’s podcast, Tony and Andreea are going to talk about how to follow your heart to success. Andreea has an amazing story to tell.
