The Mindfully Resilient Podcast

Now is the time to be a leader.  A leader within our communities, our inner circles, and most importantly, a leader for our families and ourselves. But what is a leader? In this first part of a 2-part episode, Josef sits down with Jordan Mossman, leadership coach and presenter, to discuss what it means to be a leader and that you don't need to be branded with fancy titles to be an impactful one.

If you're a regular listener of The Mindfully Resilient Podcast, you know every episode ends with the line "Live every day with joy, curiosity, and passion." But, do you know its origin story?  In Episode 44, Coach Josef candidly shares that story and his personal interpretation of those 3 words.

Throughout the course of your life, you will have the opportunity to connect with people who are amazingly relatable on so many levels. And when they happen to be a coach or mentor, you have a lighthouse right there for you.

Th...

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...

Often, your greatest thoughts and ideas happen when you walk through the soothing aura of nature.  On May 8, 2021, during a walk on a nature trail, Josef went live on Instagram to share some of his thoughts on change and curiosity, stemming from a big transition in his life.  When change occurs in life, we must be curious about the opportunities and wonder how they can be leveraged in our growth.

This is a never-been-done...

When you meet someone who brings a positive aura into your life and always holds an undeniable hope in what you can do, you nurture that connection. Josef sits down with good friend and growth "accountabilibuddy," Gary Henry, in a special conversational episode. Less interviewing and more inspiring. Gary shares his stories of hope and belief for a better tomorrow.  If you're feeling lost, LISTEN to this episode to give your he...

Life, as we all know and have experienced, is extremely unpredictable.  It will throw us curve balls or put up these huge walls in an attempt to slow us down on our journeys.  It can be easy to throw in the proverbial towel and give up. But, since when has anything wonderful come easy?  If you're feeling a sense of despair, hit that play button right now, because this episode with Dan Giancola will renew all hope. &n...

When faced with challenges, we often turn to excuses to justify our actions for not facing the adversity head on.  However, we're letting the excuse dictate our journeys, away from finding a bounty of opportunities.  If we lived a life free of false reasons, what kind of wonders can we create?  In Episode 38, Josef sits down with Performance Success Coach and Creative Director of Own It Empire, Heather Chapman.  ...

Life has a weird way of nudging you into the direction you are truly meant to follow. In the moment, it may seem like it's a disaster, but when you remove despair from the equation, you see opportunity to flourish. Josef sits down with PRO Trainer, Coach Entrepreneur, and friend, Connie Beaulieu.  She fell into her fitness journey, literally and figuratively, and while patiently putting the building blocks together, she has be...

Worthiness is something many struggle with regularly, not realizing that they have a lot to offer the world and to themselves.  In this empowering episode of The Mindfully Resilient Podcast, Josef sits down with Amanda Brush Almond, IronMan Triathlete, Conditioning Coach, and friend, as she shares her inspiring stories of worthiness and love. Her journey is a beautiful reminder that you are worthy; that you are enough, regardl...

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 di...

In this bonus clip from Episode 34, Nurture the Abundance Mindset with Blake Miles, that didn't make the final cut, Josef asks Blake 3 Rapid Fire Questions to end their inspiring conversation on a silly note.

• What is Blake's favourite vacation spot?
• How would Blake describe himself as a meme?

You'll have some fun listening to this one.

We have been conditioned to believe that acting on our dreams is a fool's errands. And our daily to-do lists are reserved for chores, duties, tasks, and assignments, leaving no room for our dreams. This ingrains a scarcity mindset making us believe that we have less than enough.

In this unscripted episode of The Mindfully Podcast, after leading a high intensity online group workout, I was inspired to celebrate the efforts of the class participants, who, on January 21, 2021, completed a feat that helped them discover a new potential, elevating the bar.  

Have you ever completed 100 reps of an exercise in 23 minutes?  They did... 5 exercises, 100 reps each.

As a coach, it's an honour to be a part o...

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.

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 ...

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...

Inspired from Todd Durkin's podcast episode, "Top 9 Lessons from COVID-19" (Episode 92), I share my own top 10 gratitudes and lessons from the chaos that is the COVID-19 Pandemic.  I also highlight the opportunities I currently have or can create because of what I learned and what was given to me.
