    Ep 166: Being Intentional Is Tricky
    Mar 24 2026
    The more intentional we become, the more we enhance our lives. The key to intention is self-awareness and being honest about the tricks our egos play on us. We must be sensitive to our feelings as indicators to pay more attention. We all have aspects of our lives that we’d like to improve, yet we engage in avoidance or denial instead. What are our autopilot behaviors? How are they working for us? What patterns are we noticing that reveal where we need to make changes? Whether we are being intentional or not, we are making a choice that’s conscious or subconscious. Living intentionally is an act of responsibility. Deciphering automatic behavior from being intentional Checking in with your habits Give ourselves space to get real Continuously consider the best version of you Boredom is a big indicator The best version of ourselves is tricky ------------------------- CONNECT WITH JEFF: Website: https://jeffmillercoaching.com/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jeffmillercoaching/ IG: @jeffmillercoaching FB: https://www.facebook.com/jeff.miller.7965 Books: https://www.amazon.com/author/jeffmillercoaching CONNECT WITH TATSU: Website: https://tatsuyafushimi.com LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/tatsuyafushimi/ IG: @tatsuyafushimi FB: https://www.facebook.com/tatsuya.fushimi.9/ Books: https://www.amazon.com/author/tatsuyafushimi

  • Ep 165: With Freedom Comes Big Responsibility

    Ep 165: With Freedom Comes Big Responsibility
    Mar 17 2026
    What’s your definition of freedom? What’s your relationship to it? How do you show up when your freedom is hindered by your own perspective or by other people? We have a constant innate desire for more freedom in all areas of our lives. And this desire is seemingly infinite. We also don’t know what infinite freedom looks like or how we’d show up to the required demands. However, we can practice responsibility and ownership in all areas of our lives daily. This reinforces self-trust that we’ll do the right thing when freedom presents its challenges. To what extent is freedom for me Taking our freedoms for granted Freedom is based on perspective The natural tendency for humans to want ALL Balance between more freedom and gratitude for what we currently have Personal freedom within relationships Communicating and having healthy boundaries and expectations Everything essentially comes down to agreements Checking in with our definition of freedom ------------------------- CONNECT WITH JEFF: Website: https://jeffmillercoaching.com/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jeffmillercoaching/ IG: @jeffmillercoaching FB: https://www.facebook.com/jeff.miller.7965 Books: https://www.amazon.com/author/jeffmillercoaching CONNECT WITH TATSU: Website: https://tatsuyafushimi.com LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/tatsuyafushimi/ IG: @tatsuyafushimi FB: https://www.facebook.com/tatsuya.fushimi.9/ Books: https://www.amazon.com/author/tatsuyafushimi

  • Ep 164: We Don't Have Time For Feelings

    Ep 164: We Don't Have Time For Feelings
    Mar 10 2026
    Feelings and emotions can be quite confusing. There are physiological and cognitive aspects that are often difficult to understand or be aware of. Additionally, we may carry a foundational belief that it is wrong to express feelings and emotions fully. Many of us with this belief will have formed it during childhood from a projection of our parents’ discomfort with their own feelings and emotions. Fortunately, we have a choice in redefining our relationship to them in a healthy and sustainable way. As essential as feelings and emotions are to being human, it is a great responsibility for us to explore them deeply. Coming face-to-face with self-discovery Giving myself permission to feel The difference between emotions and feelings Finding middle ground of being in emotions/feelings and control The foundational belief that there’s something wrong with feelings Noticing body sensations first Jealousy isn’t a real feeling Awareness and space to reflect on feelings Re-establish a belief that it’s ok to feel ------------------------- CONNECT WITH JEFF: Website: https://jeffmillercoaching.com/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jeffmillercoaching/ IG: @jeffmillercoaching FB: https://www.facebook.com/jeff.miller.7965 Books: https://www.amazon.com/author/jeffmillercoaching CONNECT WITH TATSU: Website: https://tatsuyafushimi.com LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/tatsuyafushimi/ IG: @tatsuyafushimi FB: https://www.facebook.com/tatsuya.fushimi.9/ Books: https://www.amazon.com/author/tatsuyafushimi

    Ep 163: O.F.G. March 2026
    Mar 3 2026
    O.F.G. means opportunities for growth. Every situation we experience presents a seemingly infinite number of growth opportunities towards becoming the highest version of ourselves. However, it is up to us to train our minds to identify the opportunities and to integrate our hearts in the process. In this series of episodes, Jeff and Tatsu illustrate their thought processes when triggered by people and events in their lives.

  • Ep 162: How Do You Define Unity And Harmony?

    Ep 162: How Do You Define Unity And Harmony?
    Feb 24 2026
    How important are unity and harmony to you? To what extent do you want them? Unity and harmony start within each of us, and the potential expands to a global scale. Without awareness and intentional practice towards creating unity within, our efforts to create it externally will be met with great frustration and suffering. This is observable with the current state of affairs locally, regionally, nationally, and globally. As we expand our awareness of unity and harmony outward from within, our definition of these must continue to broaden to include others’ perspectives. Forcing a rigid definition onto others doesn’t work. History has proven this many times over. But unity and harmony are choices. To each their own. Unity and harmony are choices You can be unified and not be in harmony at the same time Events tend to unify people Creating division while believing you're creating unity Creating unity and harmony within ourselves You have to constantly re-choose to do the inner work Having a sense of what’s not unified within myself Fear sells. Harmony doesn’t sell Confrontation is going to happen, but how do we handle that confrontation? Be the change you want to see and not be attached to the outcome ------------------------- CONNECT WITH JEFF: Website: https://jeffmillercoaching.com/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jeffmillercoaching/ IG: @jeffmillercoaching FB: https://www.facebook.com/jeff.miller.7965 Books: https://www.amazon.com/author/jeffmillercoaching CONNECT WITH TATSU: Website: https://tatsuyafushimi.com LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/tatsuyafushimi/ IG: @tatsuyafushimi FB: https://www.facebook.com/tatsuya.fushimi.9/ Books: https://www.amazon.com/author/tatsuyafushimi

    Ep 161: Thoughts On Vulnerability
    Feb 17 2026
    Vulnerability has become a buzzword. Although vulnerability may still be uncomfortable for some people, others are “doing” vulnerability as a tactic rather than actually being vulnerable. Humans have an innate sense for identifying inauthenticity. Yet, the ego finds ways to justify masking agendas under the guise of vulnerability. How intentional are you about what to share, who to share it with, and when to share it? How often do you feel seen and heard after a vulnerable share? How do you feel when someone comes to you vulnerably? It’s critical to be sensitive to your emotional and cognitive tendencies. Being authentically vulnerable is powerful and a gateway to deepening trust within yourself and with others. People are doing vulnerability, but it’s not authentic Not being intentional with your shares Not everyone is able to receive what you have to share Laying the groundwork before a vulnerable share Knowing what you want from sharing Becoming more vulnerable in relationships Without vulnerability, there won’t be much trust Dancing with the ego Being on the receiving end of a vulnerable share ------------------------- CONNECT WITH JEFF: Website: https://jeffmillercoaching.com/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jeffmillercoaching/ IG: @jeffmillercoaching FB: https://www.facebook.com/jeff.miller.7965 Books: https://www.amazon.com/author/jeffmillercoaching CONNECT WITH TATSU: Website: https://tatsuyafushimi.com LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/tatsuyafushimi/ IG: @tatsuyafushimi FB: https://www.facebook.com/tatsuya.fushimi.9/ Books: https://www.amazon.com/author/tatsuyafushimi

    Ep 160: Heartache
    Feb 11 2026
    We all experience heartache multiple times throughout our lives. However, we don’t always see and apply the valuable lessons from those experiences. Rather, heartache often distracts us with confusion about our identity post-loss. Who am I now that the relationship is over? Who am I after my loved one passed away? What do I regret? Change is inevitable, and therefore, so is heartache. But with this understanding, we have opportunities to address warning signs within ourselves and in relationships. Having the presence, clarity, awareness, and courage to do so helps us extract the valuable wisdom from our experiences, rather than avoid it until we are left dumbfounded by what happened. Awkwardness with heartache What can we learn from heartache? Attachment leads to heartache Realizing that you control your experience Applying lessons learned in one relationship to others Deeper heartache can lead to deeper joy Heartache with divorce The stereotypical midlife crisis Ignoring warning signs ------------------------- CONNECT WITH JEFF: Website: https://jeffmillercoaching.com/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jeffmillercoaching/ IG: @jeffmillercoaching FB: https://www.facebook.com/jeff.miller.7965 Books: https://www.amazon.com/author/jeffmillercoaching CONNECT WITH TATSU: Website: https://tatsuyafushimi.com LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/tatsuyafushimi/ IG: @tatsuyafushimi FB: https://www.facebook.com/tatsuya.fushimi.9/ Books: https://www.amazon.com/author/tatsuyafushimi
