Planting the Seeds of Leadership with Jordan Mossman (PART 2) | Ep 46

In the second of their conversation, Jordan shares a personal story from his childhood.  An event that planted a seed of doubt and fear of something he loved. However, he persevered and proved the nay-sayers wrong his testimony is a perfect example of resilience. If you've been feeling like folks around have been shutting down lately, this episode is for you. There will always be someone who will express an opinion rooted in false judgement and jealousy.  When that happens, you know you’re doing something right.

You Are Awesome with Nathalie Plamondon-Thomas | Ep 42

We often underestimate the power of self-talk, the positive and the negative. The subconscious mind is easily influenced by our choice of words when talking about ourselves. It absorbs them just as a child would with what grown-ups say. In Episode 42, Josef sits down with one of the most influential speakers in the fitness industry, Nathalie Plamondon-Thomas.  She provides simple examples of how the complex mind works and shines a light on how just by reframing what we say about ourselves can charge us with confidence and resilience.

The Annihilation Over Stimulation Mindset | Ep 35

The Annihilation Over Stimulation Mindset | Ep 35

Coach Josef needs to get something off his chest.  It's time to take the annihilation over stimulation mindset off of its podium. In his experience as a personal fitness training, Josef has witnessed many people put themselves down because they believed their workout wasn't a good one.  Because they didn't have a visit from DOMS (Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness) or swam in pools of sweat, their belief is that the workout didn't count.  What they don't realize is that they did more for their bodies during that time than sitting on the couch.

In Episode 35, Coach Josef is ringing the bell of enlightenment. It's time that we celebrate the workouts we do, regardless of the intensity or the sensations that follow days after.  Let's acknowledge what our bodies and minds can achieve and watch them climb the ladder of growth, one rung at a time.

My 15 Minutes at FitnessWorks with Lawrence Biscontini | Ep 32

On December 20, 2020, Josef joined the amazing Lawrence Biscontini and 20 other inspiring fitness professionals and influencers from around the world at the #FitnessWorks Global Virtual Town Hall, a 5-hour online event.

For 15 minutes, they talked about holiday traditions, the state of fitness in our geographical regions, how we’ve adapted to this current season of life with the pandemic, resilience, and favourite holiday treats.

Lawrence, Happiness Wellness Movement Coach and a fitness industry veteran, started the #FitnessWorks "stayvention" at the start of the pandemic to put a spotlight on how fitness professionals have been impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic and the resulting lockdowns.  Fit pros were offering their services for FREE, online, at the expense of their livelihoods for a long period of time.  This prompted fitness mentors to sound the alarm to remind personal trainers, instructors, and coaches alike to not devalue the investments they put in themselves to be among the best life transformers.

The Holiday Edition of #FitnessWorks was the perfect event to end a year that saw the nurturing and growth of Josef's own “Speaking” journey.

Check out this 15-minute spot with Lawrence Biscontini at the FitnessWorks Global Town Hall Holiday Event.

It's OK to Take a Break | Ep 31

It's OK to Take a Break | Ep 31

SEASON 2 IS OFFICIALLY HERE!

After a 4-month pause, The Mindfully Resilience Podcast is back to bring you more impact, more hope, and an amplified dose of resilience.  The time away has reminded Josef that it's ok to take a break and he wants to remind you of that as well.  

We believe that, in order to succeed, we cannot stop.  We've grown accustomed to an on-the-go way of life, mistaking "busy busy" for productive busy.  Sound familiar?  By not slowing down, we can do more harm than good.

In this episode, Josef explores how taking a break can benefit your physical and mental health.  How it can nurture relationships with family, friends, and yourself.  How it fosters personal and professional growth and how it is the catalyst for creativity.  It doesn't hurt to have a little me-time.

Season 1 Finale: My Journey into Podcasting | Ep 30

On December 11, 2019, Josef's journey into podcasting took flight.  There were no expectations aside from the desire to coach people locally, and, slowly, around the world to be more mindfully resilient.  To impact at least one life.  Each episode was created with the vision to provide guidance to lead a healthier lifestyle, to be physically fitter, to have a stronger mindset, as well as an unbreakable belief in one's self.

In the Season 1 Finale of The Mindfully Resilient Podcast, Josef shares his experience as a new podcaster and the lessons he has learned.  He also shares a highlight reel of some of the conversations with the awesome guests who joined him this season.

Wholehearted Connections with Stephanie Weichert (PART 1) | Ep 27

One of the hardest things you can do is to demonstrate courage, not the bravery kind of courage, but speaking from the heart courage.  Being wholehearted is a skill that requires practice.  In this episode, Josef is honoured to have his coach, mentor, and friend, Stephanie Weichert join him on the show.  As part of the writing process for her book "Everything I Would Have Said", Stephanie coached Josef through some tough times and encouraged a wholehearted mindset.  In Part 1, Stephanie shares her story into becoming a life coach and desire to be a positive influence in the lives of others.  She also recounts a fun little story of how she and SGT Ken met.

Self-Isolation Requires Self-Check In (PART 3) | Ep 15

Self-Isolation Requires Self-Check In (PART 3) | Ep 15

In the final part of our 3-part series, Self-Isolation Requires a Self-Check-In, Josef and the "Consortium of Coaches" discuss how they've responded to the life changes brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic and the challenges they've had to face.  They all had to dig deep into their resilience tanks and prepare for the giant virus crisis wave that started to swell.

On March 29th, 2020, Josef sat down with fellow coaches Blake Miles, Candice Axford, and Patrick Savoury, and focused their first conversation on ensuring that resilience tanks are kept full while the world is maintaining self-isolation.  It’s been over 2 weeks since the COVID-19 was declared a pandemic.  Some may have gone into autopilot, while others are frantically trying to figure out what to do next to stay financial afloat or to maintain their sanity.  Self-isolation requires a little self-check in.

Self-Isolation Requires Self-Check In (PART 1) | Ep 12

What do you get when you put a bunch of coaches on a call?  An awesome dose of positivity.  What was an idea for over 2 years has come into fruition.  Fellow coaches Josef, Blake, Candice, and Patrick met up to share their thoughts on a topic with the purpose to inspire others.

On March 29th, 2020, they focused the first conversation on ensuring that resilience tanks are kept full while the world is maintaining self-isolation.  It’s been over 2 weeks since the COVID-19 was declared a pandemic.  Some may have gone into autopilot, while others are frantically trying to figure out what to do next to stay financial afloat or to maintain their sanity.  Self-isolation requires a little self-check in.  

In Part 1 of a 3-part series, we put an emphasis on checking in on your habits, not just daily physical habits, but mindset as well.
