The Tony Rossi Show

I thought I was going to that dark place again…. I was at a day job. There were tons of people. I started getting stressed. And cranky. And mad. And WHY do I still work these jobs again?? And, and, and….. “….STOP.” That was the the voice that came to me when I was about to really go down the negative chatter rabbit hole. Whether you’re in at a day job, got sucked into a place you don’t want to go, or are just having a bad day - try using these three strategies I’m about to share. There’s always more you can add to the list. At the end of the day, it’s about whether or not you’ve shifted your thinking. So my question is - are you ready to start thinking differently and experiencing less stress?   I have a gift for you…. Speaking of less stress…..how would you like to get on a live call with me this weekend? ...and next weekend? ……..and every weekend for a month?   Also: It's Free!    For the first time, I’m offering a 30 day free trial to the #notperfect Family. You’ll have access to our weekly “Refresh and Re

When it comes to meditation, you probably fall into one of three categories…. You love it. You know it’s good for you. You do it everyday. You hate it: You either hate sitting still, or you can do it, but it’s not enjoyable for you. So you don’t do it. You want to love it: You know it’s good for you. You’ve heard it’s done wonders for others. But…..you just haven’t found a way that makes you do it day after day….. Here’s the good news: All three of these categories will be covered in this week’s interview with Kelsey Mathes. WARNING: If you’re not meditating….this episode might make you want to start. We discuss the surprising benefits you’re missing out on if this isn’t a regular part of your routine.   Who is Kelsey Mathes? Kelsey Mathes is a Chicago-based world traveler, and Life-Coach, specializing in Vedic meditation and holistic nutrition. Kelsey's mission is to help clients uplift their lives utilizing ancient, tried-and-true systems, while making them practical for the modern person. Website: www.ke

More results. Less effort. If this sounds like a scam - you’re my people. But this week’s episode isn’t about a quick fix. It’s about a BETTER way of working.

Or what if this year you’re just not feeling it? This week I’m going to share with you a personal story about one holiday that didn’t go as well as I hope.

There's a lot of us who want and deserve a different life than the one we're getting. And what kills me is that many of us aren't taking action to make that life happen.  This week is pure tough love, plus motivation.

Ross Grant is #notperfect. He’ll always admit that part. But what he’s especially vulnerable is how he spent his early 20s - drinking, going into work hungover, and hoping one day he’d just “make it” as an actor…. Fast forward to today: The guy runs an online acting community called Act on This TV with TON of hours of interviews with actors, agents, casting directors, and other receognizable names all across the UK entertainment industry. You can also find him on his vlog, #WatchRoss, as well as connect with his high performance mindset program for actors, “Bulletproof Actor.” Ross is a class act. It’s my pleasure to introduce him to the #notperfect community here in the states.   Notes and things…   The #NotPerfect Family: The #notperfect Family gets you on the phone with me and the rest of my #notperfect-ers twice a month.

  I think sometimes we think the world is out to get us.  Which is silly. Y'all - the world only hates us if we tell ourselves that story, then look for evidence for it to be true. Say it with me: It's. Not. True. What is true is that there's a lot of people in the world who truly want to connect with us. The trick? We have to let them connect with us. Unfortunately, many of us have a wall up that prevents others from getting anywhere remotely close!  This week, I'm going to share with you a story of how a reeeeeally embarrassing moment actually let to a cool connection.

Stop me if you HATE being told… Eat healthy You need to meditate Do you have any idea how much sugar that has?! Or my favorite…. You’re going to get sick if you keep getting this stressed out over everything. ...sorry if I just made your stomach turn with all of those statements. I know how frustrating it can be hearing them. I used to be a rebel against any of this advice. I heard conventional advice about being healthy and stressing less….but none of made me want to actually do anything. Besides, unless we’re literally confined to our beds because we’re so sick - how often do we actually want to do anything about it?? One of the reasons I love Kelsey Mathes so much is because she breaks down the whole “healthy living” thing. It’s people like her who help me actually want to be a healthier person, because I can better understand exactly why I’m getting as sick and stressed out as I do sometimes. If you’re still on the fence about listening to this week’s interview with Kelsey, here are some things that w
