Thank you for tuning in for another edition of the Min Rise Podcast. This week I'll be talking about how media creates unrealistic expectations for relationships. I think going into this podcast we all know this but for like many other things it doesn't hurt being repeated. In an age where everything can be broadcasted to the world via social media any of us are victim to comparison and the crazy expectations that media sets for us. There are hundreds of dating shows, reality shows, rom coms, sensual tv shows and more that all influence how we think a relationship should be. Even if we know better than to base our standards off a fictional show there's no doubt that they can influence us tremendously especially when we are in the face of conflict.
Hello everyone I am so thrilled to be back! I missed you all and I've been working on some new content for the second season of my podcast. In today's episode I speak about how it's so easy for all of us to not celebrate the small victories in our lives. I think it's such good timing for a topic like this as I'm celebrating the small victories while I'm training our new puppy. We do it for our animals so let's put this concept into action and do it for us. Thanks for tuning in and please rate and review my podcast on Apple Podcasts or follow my podcast on Spotify. Thanks!

Join me on this new podcast as I talk about the difference of contentment and happiness. Sometimes we can think they're one in the same but the reality is that they're very different. In the world today happiness can be arguably based on external conditions whereas contentment comes from our relationship to what is going on around us, rather than our reaction to it. It is the peaceful realization that we are whole and complete just as we are, despite the anger, sadness, joy, frustration, and excitement that may come in and out from time to time.

There are dozens of people out there that will tell you hustling is glamorous. It’s the only way to get that dream car, dream vacation, or retire at 45. They will tell you all their secrets if you want them to. But, pay for the online course first. Thanks. Honestly it’s everywhere. Even people I know are becoming “influencers” and selling this life that’s too good to be true. In this episode I examine the truth about hustle culture and what it has evolved into. Will this trend be the downfall of real, authentic joy in our youth? Is it all really too good to be true? Tune in and hear my thoughts.
We all want to improve, we all want to graduate to that next ladder rung in life but what happens when we get to a point where we are living comfortably? What happens when we get to that point? Will we invariably always want more? If consumerism has taught us one thing it’s that we will never have the latest and newest thing forever because society is constantly producing newer and better products. Whether you are searching for a promotion within or searching outside of your company for taking that next step up the corporate ladder it can be discouraging at the very least.

The pandemic is surfacing important differences in perspectives, creating a sense of division in people's relationships or highlighting divisions that were already there. This situation has illuminated the different ways people choose to progress through a situation that impacts everyone. Some people have adapted their life for the greater good, while others are taking a more individualistic approach. Whatever the case may be the pandemic has radically changed our insights on a number of people in our lives.

When you meet someone for the first time, what you do for a living comes up pretty early in the conversation, right? That’s because we’re ingrained from a very young age to equate our identity with our occupation. Your job title instantly conveys certain information about your educational background, your social status, and your bank account. In this episode I explore how we can feel better about our self-worth regardless of what our income is. Now this is no easy task, but the more proud and comfortable we become with what we do for a living, the more that confidence will radiate. When you aren't ashamed of what you do to put food on the table people basing their whole lives on money will start to question where they are putting all of their worth in the first place.

Disordered eating attitudes are rapidly increasing, especially among young women in their twenties. These disordered behaviors result from the interaction of several factors, including beauty ideals. A significant factor is social media, by which the unrealistic beauty ideals are popularized and may lead to these behaviors.

In this episode I speak about what it's like to be vulnerable as a man in society today. As men being vulnerable is shamed in society and I want to help us break that norm and habit. Being open and transparent is in fact courageous and brave and shows extreme confidence. It is not weak, feminine, or lame to talk about your feelings as a guy. Join me in this episode as I explore the world of the vulnerable man.

If you want to be happier and improve your relationships, cut down on sarcasm. Why? Because sarcasm is actually hostility disguised as humor. Many people who receive sarcastic comments feel put down and often think the sarcastic person is a jerk. “There’s a grain of truth behind every joke." I think we all need to work on being more aware of what we say and how we say it. It's crucial because we all want to form long lasting genuine relationships not ones built on superficiality and sarcasm. Tune in to learn more about when sarcasm goes too far and how to notice it before it's too late. Be sure to follow me on instagram and tiktok!

Today I discuss how polarized America has become and consider if there is a way for us to become better about discussing controversial topics and unite as a people. We are the "United" States of America after all. I dive into some psychological reasons as to why we are so divided as a country and explore why it's so hard to get out of the black and white thinking that we've all grown accustomed to for years and years.

What's up everybody I hope you are all having a great week! In this week's episode I will be talking about why "keeping up with the joneses" is destroying peoples' lives and self worth. We have to be sure not to link our value in the material possessions that we own or want to own. This is especially a problem now with the rampant consumption of social media. Every single day we are blasted with info with how this person got a new car or how another person paid off their house. While these are things we should be proud of other people for it can be easy to become super cynical and want to compete with these people. Keeping up with the Joneses will never satisfy. As a whole we all need to learn to be more grateful for what we have instead of chasing the "new" thing every day.
Thank you for joining me today! We will be discussing the power of persistence. It is a crucial and essential skill we all need to practice in order to be successful in accomplishing our goals. I wanted to take the time today to personally talk about this because it can be very easy to give up and not want to continue our endeavors. We feel like we don't deserve success or that we're not good enough. All of these thoughts are trying to prevent us from living up to our maximum potential and are in part silencing the persistent voice inside of us.
Pride is something we all struggle with in some way. I recorded this podcast to not only provide myself with a better framework for overcoming pride but for my listeners as well. It's such a temptation to always want to be right and to stand victorious in a debate. We have to ask ourselves is it feeding our heart or our ego? In today's episode I go over 10 tips to control pride when we feel it brewing inside.
Today I have Joseph on the podcast to talk about his book that he's been writing for the past several months. His book is entitled Follow. Follow is about developing and cultivating healthy rhythms, practices, and habits that will help you become the person you were created to be and desire to be. We thrive by following (1) the rhythms we create and (2) the good plans God has for our life. His book will cover what rhythm is, how to create rhythm in specific areas, and how these principles apply in various stages of life. Join us for the discussion of the process of writing his book, why he chose to write a book and how you can learn more about this amazing author!
If you are interested in following Joseph on his journey you can find him on instagram @josephtolonen_writer and support his book on indiegogo: https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/follow-by-joseph-tolonen#/
What really is toxic positivity? In this episode I explain exactly what this is. It's something I was unaware of for a while. I knew of it, I knew the feeling, but I really didn't know it was an actual thing. Join me in this episode as I discuss toxic positivity and how we can all be more transparent and empathetic with those around us.
