Send us a text

Are you living life… or just near life? In this fun and thought-provoking episode, I’m joined by best-selling author and behavioral change expert Karen Salmansohn to explore what it really means to create a life you love.

 

Karen introduces the powerful concept of moving from beast mode - where you’re hustling, grinding, and stuck on autopilot - to best mode - where you’re fully present, purpose-driven, and aligned with your deepest values.

 

We talk about:

  • Why so many of us are living on autopilot (and how to snap out of it)
  • The surprising power of death awareness to supercharge your joy
  • How to build your to-die list (not just a to-do list)
  • The seven core values that lead to a life with fewer regrets
  • Why identity shapes our habits - and how to create identity-based change
  • Why writing your own eulogy might be the mindset hack you didn’t know you needed

 

Karen’s blend of psychology, humor, and practical tools will help you wake up, get clear on what really matters, and start showing up as the best version of yourself - today.

 

If you’re ready to ditch beast mode and build a life you truly love, this episode is for you.
