Sign up for my free integrity email course: https://shanemelaugh.com/integrity/What if most advice on how to be more charismatic and be a better communicator... is actually just making you a better manipulator?In this episode, I explore the depths of communication skills, distinguishing between common manipulation tactics and authentic methods for connecting with others. I present the flaws of traditional people-pleasing and Machiavellian strategies, revealing how they often stem from deep-seated fears and fail to deliver true fulfillment. Instead, I introduce a third way, which I currently call 'integrity-based communication.' This approach emphasizes truth and authenticity in interactions, leading to more genuine and trustworthy relationships. I discuss practical examples in both personal and business contexts, showcasing how this method promotes better outcomes for everyone involved. Join me as I delve into what it means to communicate with integrity and how this can transform our connections and overall well-being.Chapters:00:00 Intro00:42 Better People Pleaser01:32 Machiavellian Manipulator02:56 Two Losing Games04:39 Dog Eat Dog World?05:34 We don't like to call it manipulation...06:24 The Secret 3rd Game08:10 High Integrity Communication in Relationship12:16 Finding the Deeper Truth (better than compromise)14:24 High Integrity in the Business Context17:28 The World is Ready for the 3rd Game18:18 A New Framework

Attachment styles are all the rage, but I rarely see anyone talking about what secure attachment is actually like. A lot of the focus is on wounded attachment, on how avoidantly attached people attract anxiously attached people and all the drama that ensues etc.My personal experience is one of healing my attachment style and going from highly avoidant to deeply secure. In this episode, I share my personal journey of transitioning from an avoidantly attached individual to being securely attached. I delve into the practical realities and daily experiences of secure attachment, contrasting it with my past avoidant tendencies. Discover how relationships have transformed from sources of stress to sources of peace and stability, and learn about the key shifts in mindset and behavior that facilitated this change. This video aims to provide a grounded perspective on secure attachment and offers insights for those looking to heal their own attachment styles. Join the discussion and explore what it truly means to be securely attached.In this article, I share how I learned to become less numb and actually feel my own desires and boundaries: https://open.substack.com/pub/thinslices/p/how-i-learned-to-hear-the-whisperOn a similar note, check out this video about developing intuition: https://youtu.be/q2D6fcGDrp4Chapters:00:00 Intro01:04 From Avoidant to Secure02:20 Peace, Finally04:17 How My Avoidance Played Out04:57 Better By Myself?06:35 Being In Relationship Without Losing Myself08:16 Is Secure Attachment Selfish?11:17 The Art of Asking for What You Want13:33 Giving The Gift of Receiving14:46 No More Fear of Failure16:32 "I have to make this work"18:48 Does Secure Attachment Make You Attractive?

Join my newsletter here: https://shanemelaugh.com/newsletter/ I've been having fun creating non-branded, non-niche and non-marketing content on this channel. This is an experiment in progress, but I do have a hunch that this is the way forward. Today, I talk about my idea about building an intentional audience and about what it means to be an intentional content creator. We live in an era of increasingly competent AI generated content. Soon, it will be possible for anyone to create virtually unlimited, generic, AI content in any medium. What does this mean for the future of content creators. And maybe more importantly: what does it mean for the future of content consumption? Let's dive into some bold predictions about people getting zombified by algorithmic content and a potential golden age for authentic, human content.

When you're trying to be productive, you're doing something that is making you less productive and more prone to procrastination. Join the Introspective Writing course waitlist here: https://shanemelaugh.com/iw-signup/ My approach to work and productivity has changed a lot over recent years. What I've found is that there is a way to try less hard, to be less stressed, to feel less pressure and as a result, get more done, much more easily. As I've explored this, I found something really surprising: when we procrastinate, we are not actually trying to avoid the difficulty of the task in front of us. The discomfort and suffering we're trying to avoid is actually entirely self-inflicted. But you have to pay really close attention to notice this. So today, let's look at how you can discover this in yourself and how you can stop self sabotaging in this particular way.

There's a lot of talk about "processing emotions" and most of it is frankly unhelpful. As someone who used to suffer from depression a lot, dealing with heavy emotions has been an important topic in my life. I've found that most of what people do to "process" emotions is really just avoiding emotions, with extra steps. I've also found that NOT processing emotions comes at a steep cost. We become emotionally bogged down and it becomes a burden on all aspects of life. Also, this all starts way further back, when we make the mistake of being overly attached to labels of "good" and "bad" emotions. In this video, I share what DOESN'T work as well as the only thing I've ever found that DOES actually work for processing emotions and relieving yourself from that emotional burden.

What's the secret to getting seemingly impossible amounts of work done in just a few weeks? Many times, I've built my businesses on my ability to do exactly that: creating and launching an entire online course business in under a month. Replacing myself with a brand new marketing team in record time. Or testing a new market and gaining an audience of 100K+ in under 3 months... What all of these have in common is that I compressed the work most people would need months or years to complete into just weeks. And I did it without sacrificing my health and without risking burnout. Today, I'm sharing the exact protocol I use to make this possible.
