241: Accept The Upgrade— Stop The Self Sabotage Part 2

"Stop seeing things as a loss. It’s not a loss—God is removing it because it cannot go with you into the next season of your life." —Daniel Gomez   Ever felt like you’re stuck in a holding pattern, afraid to take that next step because it means letting go of what you know? The truth is that the next level of success, peace, and joy in your life is waiting for you, but it requires a brave decision.   Daniel knows what it’s like to resist change and call it “fine” when it’s really fear. From his own journey of cutting out habits, deepening his marriage, and trusting God in uncomfortable seasons, he’s learned that upgrades don’t happen without surrender. His insights hit hard because they’re lived, not just taught. Listen in for a raw, practical conversation on why partial obedience is still disobedience, how to stop self-sabotage in your faith, marriage, and money, and why not everyone is meant to go with you to your next level.

“Your voice matters. You matter. So by shining your light, by owning your worth, by using your voice, you actually give other people permission to do the same.” —Cathy Reilly   You’ve climbed the ladder, followed the rules, and built a life that looks successful on the outside— so why does it feel like something is missing on the inside? That quiet ache of unhappiness isn't a sign of failure; it’s your inner self telling you that your ladder is leaning against the wrong wall. The friction you feel comes from the gap between who the world told you to be and who you truly are, and it’s dimming the very light you’re meant to share. Cathy Reilly is a communication expert and the CEO of Sharing the Shine LLC, where she helps leaders say what they really mean to get what they really want. Drawing from 25 years in high-conflict litigation and her own entrepreneurial journey of hitting a frustrating ceiling, she discovered that misalignment—not a lack of ambition—is the ultimate dream killer. Her transformation from a quiet introvert to a powerful communicator provides a brilliant, lived-in roadmap for anyone ready to trade external validation for unshakeable internal clarity. If you’re done with being a well-behaved version of someone you’re not, this conversation is your permission slip to shine. Listen in to discover why true success is simply alignment in action, how to use the "three brains" (your head, heart, and gut) to guide you, and a simple exercise to uncover the core values that will finally lead you home to yourself.   Be Inspired! with Daniel:  Website (Makings of a Millionaire Mindset) Website (Daniel Gomez Global) Facebook Facebook Group X Instagram LinkedIn Pinterest YouTube   Episode Highlights: 02:16 The Importance of Effective Communication 08:07 Personal Growth and Self-Esteem 11:44 Aligning with Core Values 24:52 The Role of Communication in Business Success 32:38 The Power of Positive Self-Talk   38:02 Seeking Clarity in Communication   Connect with Cathy:  Cathy Reilly, CEO of Sharing the Shine LLC and founder of The Clarity Code, is an international keynote speaker, best-selling author, corporate trainer, podcast host, leadership coach, mindset mastery coach, communication, and wellness specialist who draws on her rich expertise in psychology, neurolinguistics, business, and law.

“Reinvention is a requirement. You will only go as far as you believe you can go.” —Travis Wallace   Reinvention is not a luxury, it's a necessity.  Gone are the days when we can simply coast on past achievements. In a world that constantly evolves, the ability to reinvent ourselves is no longer an option, but a requirement for reaching new heights of success and fulfillment. Failure to do so condemns us to stagnation, while those who dare to reinvent themselves unlock a world of new opportunities and unparalleled growth.  Travis Wallace, known as the "Reinvention Expert," is passionate about helping individuals and athletes alike transform their lives and achieve unprecedented success. With a background in training the world's top athletes, Travis has honed his skills in guiding people through the process of personal and professional reinvention. Tune in as Daniel and Travis dive deep into the art of reinvention, exploring the importance of identity, overcoming ego and pride, and the role of emotional awareness in the transformation process.     Be Inspired! with Daniel:  Website (Makings of a Millionaire Mindset) Website (Daniel Gomez Global) Facebook Facebook Group X Instagram LinkedIn Pinterest YouTube Episode Highlights: 02:00 The First Steps to Reinvention 06:58 Overcoming Identity Barriers 11:52 The Impact of Ego and Pride  27:36 The Impact of Emotional Suppression  33:06 The Importance of Cultivating a Growth Mindset     Connect with Travis:  Travis Wallace believes reinvention isn’t optional—it’s a requirement. From athlete to elite coach, Travis has lived through the transformative power of reinvention. His mission is simple: help people break free from stagnation, master their minds, body, and identity, and step into their next evolution. What started as a personal journey quickly grew into a mission to help others achieve the same. Travis is the creator of The FR4MULA—a 4-phase process that drives lasting transformation. Through his work in The 100 Day Reinvention and The Reinvention Lab, he teaches clients how to embrace change, develop unshakable confidence, and achieve the kind of growth that lasts a lifetime. Before he was a coach, Travis Wallace was a competitor. As a Division 1 basketball player at the University of North Florida, Travis experienced firsthand the drive, discipline, and mental toughness required to excel. But like many high performers, he faced an identity crisis after his playing days ended. Instead of staying stuck, he chose reinvention. Travis went on to become a personal strength coach for NBA Champion Kyle Lowry, an achievement that reflected his rise to the top of his field. However, even with this career-defining role, Travis realized something deeper: success without growth is empty. That realization marked the start of his ultimate reinvention—not just for himself, but for others.
