The Brad Jensen Show

On this solo episode of The Brad Jensen Show, I go deeper into something that has completely changed how I move through the world. Learning to disconnect from outside noise and focus on what I actually have power over.

We live in a time where we are constantly being pulled into things we cannot control. News cycles, social media outrage, other people's opinions, and problems that are way bigger than any one person. And yet we give them our energy every single day.

In this episode, I talk about the idea of powerlessness and how much freedom comes when you stop fighting what you cannot change.

I share how the Serenity Prayer has had a profound impact on my life and how it continues to guide my decision making, my emotional state, and how I show up as a father, coach, and human.

We talk about why trying to control everything is one of the fastest ways to feel anxious, angry, and burnt out.

And why real peace comes from putting your attention back on the few things that are actually in your control.

Your effort

Your consistency

Your actions

Your behaviors

Your integrity

This episode is an invitation to stop carrying weight that was never yours to hold and to start building your life around what you can influence.

Because when you stop wasting energy on what you cannot change, life starts working with you instead of against you.

If you have been feeling overwhelmed, frustrated, or disconnected, this one is for you.

Listen in and decide what you are finally ready to release.

On this episode of The Brad Jensen Show, Craig Smith and I sit down for a real conversation about the pressure that comes with having a voice online.

As coaches, creators, and people with platforms, there can be an unspoken expectation to have an opinion on everything. Every headline. Every trend. Every crisis. And if you don't speak up, people are quick to assume you don't care.

We talk about why that isn't true.

Choosing not to emotionally attach yourself to every outside circumstance does not mean you lack empathy. It means you're being intentional with where you place your energy, attention, and emotional bandwidth.

We dive into the difference between caring deeply and carrying everything. How constant emotional reactivity can drain you. And why learning to detach from what you can't control is often the healthiest move you can make.

This episode is for anyone who feels overwhelmed by the noise, pressured to perform opinions, or stuck feeling emotionally hijacked by things outside of their control.

Sometimes protecting your peace isn't selfish. It's necessary.

On this episode of The Brad Jensen Show, I sit down with Dr Robyn Hanley Dafoe, one of the leading voices in human behavior and resiliency research.

Dr Robyn has spent her entire career studying why humans behave the way they do, what actually drives real behavior change, and why some people seem naturally more resilient than others. We get into the science behind resilience, but also the very real, very practical application of it in everyday life.

We talk about why motivation alone is unreliable, how environment and identity shape our choices far more than willpower, and what resilient people are doing differently when life gets hard. We also unpack how resilience is not something you either have or don't have, but a skill set that can be intentionally built over time.

This conversation goes deep into stress, emotional regulation, adaptability, and how our nervous system plays a role in how we respond to adversity. We also discuss common misconceptions around resilience, why pushing harder is often the wrong answer, and how small shifts in awareness and behavior can create massive long term change.

If you've ever felt stuck in old patterns, burned out, overwhelmed, or frustrated that you know what to do but struggle to follow through, this episode will hit home. It's an honest, grounded, and science backed conversation about becoming more resilient, more self aware, and more equipped to handle whatever life throws your way.

On this episode of The Brad Jensen Show, the tables get turned.

A couple weeks back, I put Craig Smith in the hot seat with our Therapy After Dark rapid fire questions and this time he flipped the script and hit me with rapid fire health and fitness questions that I had zero prep for.

No outline, no filters, no rehearsed answers, just real time thoughts on health, fitness, nutrition, mindset, and how I actually think through decisions when put on the spot.

If you have ever wanted a sneak peek into my brain when it comes to health and fitness, this episode gives you exactly that with fast paced questions, honest takes, and plenty of nuance instead of black and white answers.

We cover a wide range of topics, some light, some serious, some that might challenge your thinking, but all of it is real and unscripted.

This one is fun, a little chaotic in the best way, and packed with perspective for anyone who enjoys candid conversations and quick hitting questions.

This month's Q and A episode is one of those conversations that went everywhere it needed to go.

Craig Smith and I sat down and answered real questions from real people. Just honest perspectives from years in the trenches coaching humans through health, fitness, mindset, and life.

We covered things like how to actually find a good personal trainer and what red flags to watch for before you waste your time or money.

We had a real conversation around sobriety versus recovery and why those two things are not the same even though people use them interchangeably. This one always opens up some nuance and perspective.

We dug into why so many people sabotage their fat loss even when they know exactly what to do. Not from a willpower angle, but from an identity, comfort, and self protection standpoint.

We also talked about how to influence your kids to eat better and slower without creating anxiety, pressure, or a weird relationship with food that follows them into adulthood.

And of course, we answered a few other questions that always seem simple on the surface but go a lot deeper once you actually unpack them.

If you're a parent, someone working on your own health, or someone who wants to understand why change can feel so hard even when the path is clear, this episode will land.

Listen in and let us know which part hit home for you.
