Transcribe →Ride the Waves: What the Ocean Can Teach Us About Living Well (Mindset Monday)
4w ago00:20:26Tap to summarizeEvery day that I jump in the ocean and body surf the waves… I catch myself just watching the waves. Observing like the novice I am. Wave after wave after wave.Each one completely different.And I remember thinking..."Man... life is just like the ocean."Some weeks everything seems to be going your way. Smooth. Fun. Euphoric.Other weeks it feels like you're getting knocked around and just trying to keep your head above water. Chaotic. Scary. No control. Some days you're riding the wave.Some days you're swimming against the rip current.But the longer I have spent swimming out there...the more I realize something.The ocean isn't broken because it has waves. It’s not somehow wrong when it’s chaotic and scary.That's exactly what the ocean is supposed to do.Maybe...our lives aren't broken either.Maybe we've just forgotten that they're supposed to come in waves.And that's what I want to talk about today.Resources:Brain.fm App(First month Free, then 20% off subscription)Discount Code: coachdamiensdLinks:IG:@coachdamien_sd@damienrayevans@livinthedream_podcast YouTube:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCS6VuPgtVsdBpDj5oN3YQTgFB:https://www.facebook.com/coachdamienSD/

Transcribe →Supplements: What’s Good, What’s Not? (Throwback Thursday)
Jul 200:55:36Tap to summarizeThis week on the podcast, we’ve been talking about how to live your life like a video game—starting at Level 1, earning XP through training, paying attention to your body’s dashboard, and fueling your character the right way.So for today’s throwback episode, I wanted to bring back an episode from the past that fits this theme in a really fun way.Because if life is a video game… then supplements are kind of like your gear, your items, your inventory.And just like in games, not every item is worth picking up.Some things actually help your character perform better.Some things are overhyped.Some things sound powerful, look flashy, have amazing marketing… and end up doing basically nothing except draining your wallet.So in this throwback episode, we’re revisiting one of the questions I get asked all the time:What supplements are actually worth taking?In this episode, I break down the difference between supplements that are truly helpful, science-backed, and worth considering… versus the ones that are mostly hype.And just like I always say, supplements are exactly that—supplemental.They are not the foundation.They are not the magic pill.They are not the cheat code.They are there to support the big rocks: your training, your nutrition, your sleep, your stress management, and your consistency.So if you’ve ever felt confused by the supplement industry, overwhelmed by marketing, or tempted by some shiny new powder promising superhuman results… this episode is for you.Let’s throw it back.Resources: Brain.fm App(First month Free, then 20% off subscription)Discount Code: coachdamiensdLinks:IG:@coachdamien_sd@damienrayevans@livinthedream_podcast YouTube:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCS6VuPgtVsdBpDj5oN3YQTgFB:https://www.facebook.com/coachdamienSD/
Transcribe →Your Body Has a Dashboard (Track These 5 Health Stats to Level Up Your Life) (Wellness Wednesday)
Jul 100:22:17Tap to summarizeGreat players don’t just grind levels.They monitor their stats.In video games, there’s something called a Heads-Up Display, or HUD. It’s the information panel that shows your character’s status while you’re playing — your health, energy, armor, ammo, experience points.It’s basically your character’s dashboard.And here’s the idea for today:Your body has a dashboard too.Signals.Data.Feedback.Clues about how your system is performing.But most people go through life completely ignoring it.They train when they should recover.They push when their body is exhausted.They sleep poorly, eat poorly, and then wonder why their performance drops.Today we’re going to talk about five health stats you should start paying attention to if you want to level up your health, fitness, and longevity.Because the best players don’t just train harder.They manage their system better.Resources:Brain.fm App (First month Free, then 20% off subscription)Discount Code: coachdamiensdCaldera Lab Skin Carewww.calderalab.comDiscount Code: CoachDLinks:IG:@coachdamien_sd@damienrayevans@livinthedream_podcast YouTube:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCS6VuPgtVsdBpDj5oN3YQTgFB:https://www.facebook.com/coachdamienSD/
