Hello and happy Thursday! Getting comfortable with discomfort is something Tom is very familiar with, he used to shout it out while teaching his kick box cardio class. The only difference now is that the true value lies in challenging oneself mentally. If there's one thing Tom disliked almost as much as the dentist, it is the cold. So when you hear what Tom did - more than once and without any critique or judgement - you'll understand his message. Simply proving the value in embracing discomfort. Tom also shares a wonderful email from his producer and some podcast reflection. Enjoy and as always thanks for listening!

Hello and happy Thursday! Tom was pretty stoked to share what's been going on lately along his Pro You path. Tom begins by sharing some excerpts from the book he is reading. Tom shares some Zen news and a big announcement dealing with social media. All that is going on is exactly why Tom is excited to share his observations and experience. And the Canadian Assassin does a huge favor for PYP! Enjoy and as always, thanks for listening!

Hello and happy Thursday! During a conversation with a client, Tom mentioned he feels like he's in school; but he likes it this time! The reason is that Tom is learning about himself - which we should all be doing! Tom's belief is that when you raise your vibration, you attract things of that same frequency. So you are attracting exactly what you need to evolve and become the best version of yourself. Tom shares some of those things that are affecting his walk. Tom ends the episode with a short story and a lesson. Enjoy and as always thanks for listening!

Hello and happy Thursday! If Tom had only one message to leave everyone with, it would be to be thankful. A little deeper dig, be thankful in all circumstances. How is that possible/accomplished? No worries - Tom covers it and it ties in exactly with his message. The same message he began this podcast with. Tom then goes on to share a moment of awareness he experienced and two beautiful examples of unconditional love. And ending with a little poetry and Tom's blood pressure story. Enjoy and as always thanks for listening!

Hello and happy Thursday! It's official, Tom Likes himself some Tom! Or another way of saying it is that Tom is finding peace with what is. For Tom to actually verbalize that thought during a conversation and then turning into almost a new motto is another example of the things that truly move Tom these days. Turning fifty-seven was just another Friday and Tom loved that feeling. He's not pretending to feel anything nor choose anything. It's all about Pro You choices and deeming himself worthy - sound familiar? Tom chats about a couple current events and how he is trying to stay as close as he can to sharing what he does versus telling anyone what to do. Lastly, Tom was moved by this episode title. Enjoy and as always thanks for listening!

Hello and happy Thursday! The three consecutive podcasts that stick in Tom's mind are the episodes for Zen's, PYP's and Tom's Birthdays. This year it was Seven; Zen, then PYP and now Tom. It's actually Tom's birthday on Friday the 25th. Tom has been reflecting on what it's like for him turning fifty-seven, being alive for 20,819 hours. Ever since 2020 when the birthday's were all five's Tom truly has not stopped growing, improving and becoming more and more grateful each and everyday. It was pretty easy for Tom to share some wonderful client highlight stories and then share how great it feels to be turning fifty-seven. Enjoy and as always thanks for listening!

Hello and happy Thursday! Pro You Podcast by tjd has definitely helped heal Tom. He has stated this numerous times. But it still continues to help Tom by simply getting things out of his head; first onto paper and then spoken to you, the listeners. The net result is whatever Tom shares is now out of his head - space created! That space is then filled with the good that lies within Tom as it does with each and everyone of us. Another amazing chat with Scott (where the title came from) and Tom shares some quotes, an article on imagery and some wonderful client stories as well. Enjoy and as always thanks for listening!

Hello and happy Thursday! After a double Thursday break, Tom was super stoked to record this episode and reflect on what PYP and beginning it seven years ago means to him. But that isn't even the big news... "Tom slayed his only Dragon"! If you listened to Tom share at all - you must have heard him mention the dental drama he has been through the last eight years and the 'ptsd' he still feels. Well at least until now. It has been a good time to be Tom and it remains very true. Tom's vow is to continue to do exactly what he's doing, hopefully ensuring he will continue to receive that which he is receiving. To Niko and all the listeners of PYP THANK YOU THANK YOU and THANK YOU. Enjoy and as always thank you for listening!

Hello and happy Thursday! Tom mentioned, in a previous episode, that he and Zen found a nearby waterfall. The effect that discovery has had on Tom, his perspective and life has been rather large. So much so that during a client session the words "Find your waterfall" just came out and in that moment it hit Tom; all his choices, effort, time and deeming himself worthy had manifested a very special place for him and Zen. Tom also shares a very familiar, yet quite a trippy moment. It involves Zen, so Tom was very aware, very present and once again, very, very grateful. Tom is walking the earth, having experiences due to deeming himself worthy and then sharing those experiences with you - the listeners! Enjoy and as always thanks for listening!

Hello and happy Thursday! On today's episode of Pro You Podcast Tom dedicates it to a wonderful human and monk Thich Nhat Hanh. Tom has quoted him a numerous amount of times in the past and in Tom's mind Thich lived his life truthfully and honestly with the intention of helping others - nothing more respected to Tom. Then Tom shares a truly big moment. Here it is only January and Tom makes a discovery that, to him, changed his life. It resonated with so many items on a list of why Tom is the best version and why he is so thankful that the timing was... huge. Lastly, 'Creek Shoes' - who knew?!?! Enjoy and as always thanks for listening!

Hello and happy Thursday! On today's episode Tom shares a word/phrase that he has been using lately with his clients which ended up as the title as well - "Reframing your reality". Marianne Williamson has a quote Tom loves, "We truly only suffer when our minds argue with our reality'. This could not be more true, in Tom's opinion. Shifting one's perspective (to one's good/blessings in life) is a word/phrase Tom has used a lot in the past. Recently he heard the 'framing your reality' phrase and it stuck. What struck Tom is exactly what he's sharing today as well as an article from Boodha Groove and as always some notes. Lastly, why Tom didn't work out the past two weeks and why was Tom kool with that? Enjoy and as always thanks for listening!

Hello, happy Thursday and Happy New Year! Time just keeps moving forward - doesn't it? So, how are we doing PYP listeners?!?! Are you getting better at being you and handling your reality as is to your best ability? If so, congrats! If not, just keep working on you, "little things done consistently" and deeming yourself worthy. That is what Tom preaches and what Tom has done consistently to get to the version he is today. There were notes from 2021 that Tom didn't get to chat about last episode so in a way it's a continuation of reflecting on 2021. Lastly, Tom wanted to share what moved him the most, affected him the most and what he was most thankful for. Enjoy and as always thanks for listening!

Hello and happy Thursday! If anyone has asked how Tom was doing lately the answer would have been "Consistently Thankful". Tom spent time thinking about this reply, how it sounded and what he meant by it. Since it truly sums up Tom's journey and success it seemed very apropos for it to be the title of this episode. This is the last episode of 2021 but Tom will do a follow up to this episode with more of a reflection on 2021 with specifics. Tom has complete clarity on where he is and where he has been. For that, he is consistently thankful and not too overly concerned where he is headed, he's just focused on staying present, here and now. Enjoy and as always, thanks for listening!

Hello and happy Thursday! Tom was chatting with a client when he stated how he was simply 'observing and responding' - Tom quickly grabbed a sticky note! That separation is just enough to stay consistently aware of oneself. It is also the first time Tom went two weeks without recording a PYP episode - test passed! Tom is entering a third phase of PYP which is recording an episode when Tom has something to say. That is the only thing that will dictate when an episode comes out. All of this is part of Tom's effort to consistently pursue the best version of himself that he can. Lastly, Tom's client's success has been so very rewarding he shares how special this is to him. Enjoy and as always thanks for listening!

Hello and happy Thursday! Tom covers a wide array of topics on today's episode: First the significance of this particular day/holiday to Tom, a Top-Ten list and Tom breaks down a tool he has always used with clients and never spoke about in detail before. It is not getting any easier out there so Tom is emphasizing the importance of choosing one's response and staying present. Quotes, Mosier notes and still more! If you need an ear to listen or a shoulder to lean on - Tom is here and a direct message away! Enjoy and as always thanks for listening!

Hello and happy Thursday! Tom takes a very spontaneous trip that gives him a sense of control, power and freedom and a feeling that he was very aware of and enjoyed. Stating what Tom has stated over the course of his podcast, he is very mindful of the verbiage he uses; Tom says what he means and means what he says. Once again, come to Tom's well - buy the water he sells! *and it's free! Or not, completely up to you! Tom always ends his episode with 'deem yourself worthy' because that is truly the only motivation one needs. Enjoy and as always thanks for listening!

Hello and happy Thursday! Tom is definitely the best he's ever been but he also realizes that doesn't mean no 'bad'. Tom came up with a quote while preparing for this episode - "Welcome to Life! *suffering included!" Which is very true so what becomes most valuable is how we see things and how we respond, even when there may not be easy (or any) answers. This is a tough time of year, so be kind and patient with yourself! *And if you need help, assistance, a cheerleader, an ear to listen, a shoulder to lean on - Tom is here!

Hello and happy Thursday! It's Tom, the Pro You guy, once again doing what he does - "Walks the earth and then shares his experience". Most of today's message came from one of the many amazing chats Tom has with a certain friend (& client) where today's title came from. A grand step along anyone's Pro You Path is that of patience (overall) but especially with yourself. Attaining and maintaining this ability is an omnipotent step that everyone must deem themselves worthy of. Enjoy and, as always, thanks for listening!

Hello and happy Thursday! Tom was wondering what to chat about on this episode and realized he had no notes from the week. Tom sat quietly for a moment and asked himself - why? Three or four why's later, Tom had his message and he was quite stoked about it! The final 'why' was answered with "Because I'm thankful" which inspired a brand new gratitude list. It did not take Tom long and he came up with a list of 50 - yes, 50 - things Tom is thankful for; that fill the space between his ears and why he is the best version he has ever been! A personal favorite and an episode Tom is quite proud of. Enjoy and as always, thanks for listening!

Hello and happy Thursday! On today's episode Tom uncovers the meaning behind '420' for those that care. Tom shares an article and client news, as well as how his path (one of consistently asking himself why) is going. Tom has mentioned gratitude and its power since the beginning of PYP. Nothing has changed Tom's perspective on gratitude but it has become much stronger. Tom is consistently thankful for all the little things; what he has, what he doesn't, what he gets to experience and what he doesn't get to experience. It is, and shall ever remain, a superpower. Enjoy and thanks for listening!

Hello and happy Thursday! When one looks at it, PYP has been a simple verbal documentation of Tom's personal growth. Staying true to that, being okay with how one feels is a huge one! Tom is highly aware how long and how challenging personal growth (& the work) is. But, the upside is even better - a better you walking the earth! If you could wake up and push a button that made you a better you and your life as is easier, would you push it - of course you would! Well that is exactly what deeming yourself worthy is and what being Pro You is all about. Tom is here, available, for anyone who wants/needs to talk. Enjoy and as always thanks for listening!

Hello and happy Thursday! Did you miss PYP? Well, Tom (& Niko) took their first vacation from PYP and skipped last Thursday. First time in six and a half years. Tom did it just to remove the "I have to" every Thursday thingy. It was wonderfully empowering. Continuing with his current theme of asking 'why', Tom decided to share an updated version (He previously did an episode early on called 'My Story' where he shared his) and continuation of his story. Asking "Why would someone listen to PYP? Why is this guy saying, doing what he's saying and doing?" Hopefully some of those questions are answered. Either way, Tom feels proud that he is the version he is and that what he is sharing now along his Pro You path is something he never thought he would achieve nor experience. Enjoy and as always thanks for listening!

Hello and happy Thursday! "Be like water": A very popular phrase that Tom did not create. Water has been a symbol for wellness, for life, for cleansing and for fluidity. Tom was referred to a podcast and water and it's symbolism were discussed and Tom took notes! That's the good news but Tom begins this episode with how and why he recently stepped in the mud, not realizing how deep it actually was and thus, how long it lasted.
Still flawed. Still imperfect. Still moving forward. Still the best Tom has ever been. Thus, Tom is still very thankful. Everyday, more and more. It is and has been his super power. Enjoy and as always, thanks for listening!
