Create an Unstoppable Life by Dena George, MD

Ep #163 - My Unexpected Journey (Happy Veterans Day)

So often I think I know. . . the “right way”, the “right time”, the “right decisions”, only to find out that each day is a new day.

 

Today’s episode is about what’s happening within me right now. . . timely for Veterans Day.  You’ll hear about “this feeling” and how I’m navigating the unknown with trusted souls who aren’t (yet) on board.  You’ll also hear encouragement for your calling, and how to navigate it in a meaningful way.  We don’t need the answers right now, and they are not available.  We simply need trust for the next best step forwards.

 

Happy Veterans Day and a special shout-out to the life of CSM Gary Bess and his family.  Thank you for your service, we miss you already.

Ep #162 - Intentional & Meaningful with Dr. Kathy Zhang

This real conversation is with Dr. Luyi Kathy Zhang, a palliative care & hospice physician, podcaster, author, and life coach who helps people build a purposeful life.  We cover how she thinks about her life, adds more intention into her work, and keeps growing in a meaningful way.  You’ll hear her journey of discovering her voice and sharing it with others.  You’ll also hear gems of wisdom, and what she wants everyone in the world to know.

 

Kathy’s mission is to bring the clarity, purpose and meaning that comes with confronting one’s mortality to those fortunate enough not to—because everyone deserves to live the life they want with the time they have left.

Ep #161 - Becoming an Abundant Receiver

Giving is simple.  It’s something we do a lot as high achievers.  Sometimes (or quite often) we give more than we have.

Today’s episode is about being on the other side. . . becoming an abundant receiver.  We’ll explore what holds us back from receiving, and how to move forward in a way that honors ourselves and the giver.  You’ll see that you are not alone and that better is possible.

Create more depth in your relationships and become a better giver by abundantly receiving.

Ep #159 - Judgment Revisited

Today we are going back to where it all started. . . with episode one on judgment.  This episode honestly came about because I was the most judgmental person I knew. . .and I wanted to do better.  A life of fulfillment and freedom is one without the need for judgment.

 

This episode is just fun.  It starts with how I think about judgment now and thoughts about that initial episode. . . followed by the original episode.  I look forward to hearing what you think.

Ep#157 - Holding Yourself (More) Accountable

Wake up early.

Develop that idea for something new.

Exercise.

Eat better.

Sit down and write.

 

How often do you say you will do something. . . and then do it?  For many high achievers, we follow through when we are accountable to someone else.  If it’s for ourselves, it gets postponed.

 

Today’s episode is about creating strong commitments to yourself AND following through.  We’ll explore the barriers to staying accountable, update the language that you use to stay focused, and build more belief that this is achievable.  Staying accountable to yourself leads to higher levels of freedom and fulfillment. . . the ingredients for an unstoppable life.

Ep# 154 - What Surprises You?

So spending 50ish years on this planet may have given some insight to ourselves and the humans around us.  Some lessons came from our families, some our friends, others from the not so friendly.  Those lessons could be good or bad or somewhere in between.  Come join us as Craig and I reflect on what we have learned and what has surprised us in that learning.
