Finding the One Thing That Centers You

Hey, What's Up! It's Tommy. In today’s episode, I’m getting real about stress. Life has been a whirlwind lately—from business challenges to balancing family, working on our basement, and diving into multiple business groups. It’s been a lot, and honestly, I’ve been feeling the weight of it all. But here’s the thing: stress is part of the journey, and how we manage it makes all the difference.

I share some of my go-to methods for handling stress, including my morning routine, cold baths, breathing exercises, and the importance of taking intentional time for yourself. I also talk about the moments where I struggle—bringing stress home, unrealistic expectations, and those overwhelming days where I just need to step back and reset.

Plus, I open up about a major revelation we’ve had with Wyatt. I won’t give it all away just yet, but in the next episode, I’ll be sharing something huge—something that’s already showing incredible results. It’s a game-changer, and I can’t wait to tell you about it.

One of the biggest takeaways from today’s conversation? Finding that one thing that centers you. Whether it’s archery, music, a quiet walk, or even just taking 10 minutes to shut out the noise—these moments of mindfulness matter. They help us refocus, reframe, and show up as the best version of ourselves for our families.

So if you’ve been feeling overwhelmed, this one’s for you. Let’s talk about stress, how to manage it, and why taking care of yourself isn’t a luxury—it’s a necessity.
