    Jan 12 2026

    👉 You've chased every win, hit every goal… and still feel restless and unfulfilled. The Great Life Experiment is $300K of learnings distilled into 30 days of reflection that finally show you why. Start Your 30-Day Challenge Now: http://TheGreatlLifeExperiment.ca/

    Why do small things trigger big fights in relationships?
    Have you ever wondered why you keep reacting to your partner even when you don't want to?
    And why does it feel like the argument is never really about the thing you're arguing about?

    In this episode of Real Influence, Joey breaks down why small things trigger you in relationships and how those moments are often tied to old emotional patterns, inherited beliefs, and nervous system reactions you didn't consciously choose 🤓.

    If you've ever asked yourself "why do tiny annoyances turn into big arguments?" or "why do I overreact to my partner?", this conversation will hit home.

    We explore why small things cause big fights, how reacting versus responding in relationships shapes connection, and what's actually happening in your body when you feel triggered 😄. Joey explains relationship triggers, defensiveness, and emotional reactions in relationships, helping you see conflict not as a failure but as information.

    This episode is especially for anyone stuck in repeating relationship patterns, struggling with communication in long-term relationships, or feeling frustrated that awareness alone hasn't stopped the same arguments from happening again. You'll learn how to stop fighting over small things, how to respond instead of react, and how to interrupt the automatic reactions that damage connection.

    We also dive into how childhood conditioning shows up in adult relationships, why resentment builds quietly, and how emotional regulation in relationships starts with self-awareness, not control 🤍. If you're searching for how to heal relationship triggers, how to stop being defensive with your partner, or why your partner triggers you so easily, this episode gives you language and clarity.

    This isn't relationship advice about fixing your partner. It's about breaking emotional loops, choosing conscious response, and learning how to create healthier, calmer, more connected relationships from the inside out.

    Have you done therapy, gained awareness, and still feel stuck in the same patterns?
    What if the issue isn't therapy but the level of support you're using?

    In this episode of Real Influence, it breaks down therapy vs coaching and explains why therapy often stops working for high achievers who already understand their patterns but can't create lasting change.

    This is not an anti-therapy conversation. It's an evolution conversation.

    Joey shares his personal post-divorce therapy experience, the ceiling of talk therapy, and the exact moment he realized awareness without action was keeping him trapped. You'll learn the different levels of personal growth, when processing is helpful, when it becomes a loop, and why coaching pairs mindset with execution to create real momentum.

    If you're successful on paper but feel unfulfilled, burned out, or quietly stuck, this episode will help you identify whether your current support is empowering you or enabling you.

    You'll also learn:

    👉 Why venting without action creates dependency

    👉 The difference between insight and embodiment

    👉 How the state of the teacher affects results

    👉 Why tools matter more than talk

    👉 How to know when it's time to upgrade your growth

    Dec 22 2025

    👉 You've chased every win, hit every goal… and still feel restless and unfulfilled. The Great Life Experiment is $300K of learnings distilled into 30 days of reflection that finally show you why. Start Your 30-Day Challenge Now: http://TheGreatlLifeExperiment.ca/

    Are you crushing business goals but quietly feeling like life is passing you by? What if the reason success feels heavy isn't lack of discipline but lack of intentional life planning? And what if planning your life the same way you plan your business could actually give you more peace, clarity, and joy?

    Every year, high achievers sit down to plan revenue targets, growth goals, OKRs, and business strategy but almost never stop to intentionally plan their life. 🤯 In this episode, Joey shares the 7-step annual life planning framework he personally uses to make sure success doesn't cost his health, relationships, or inner peace.

    This is not another hustle mindset or productivity hack.

    It's a practical, reflective, and deeply intentional process that blends life planning, mindset work, spirituality, and structure so your life doesn't get left behind while you build impact 🤓✨.

    You'll learn how to plan your life like a business without burning out, why reflection must come before goal setting, and how to align your daily actions with the person you actually want to become. Joey breaks down why most high performers are great at planning outcomes but terrible at planning experiences and how that disconnect leads to regret, exhaustion, and autopilot living.

    Inside this episode, you'll discover:

    00:00 Why many high achievers plan their business but forget to plan their life

    01:30 How to begin life planning with reflection instead of pressure

    03:39 Why having a clear life vision matters more than setting goals

    05:53 The mindset shift that helps release resistance and limiting beliefs

    07:30 A powerful handwriting exercise that reveals what truly matters

    12:20 How to use OKRs and quarterly planning for your personal life

    15:14 Daily questions that help you stay focused, present, and aligned

    18:22 Why putting your life on the calendar changes everything

    This episode is especially for high achievers, entrepreneurs, leaders, and growth-minded individuals who want success and presence. If you've ever thought, "I'll enjoy life later, once I hit the goal," this conversation is your wake-up call 😄.

    Planning your life doesn't limit you, it frees you.

    You're not behind. You're being invited to live with intention.

  • 101.The Five Transformational Mindset Principles That Help You Create Success Without Burnout, Stress, or Self-Sabotage
    Dec 8 2025

    👉 You've chased every win, hit every goal… and still feel restless and unfulfilled. The Great Life Experiment is $300K of learnings distilled into 30 days of reflection that finally show you why. Start Your 30-Day Challenge Now: http://TheGreatlLifeExperiment.ca/

    Why do you keep doing the "right things" but still feel stuck? Why does it feel like something inside you is blocking your goals no matter how hard you try? Why does your mind keep pulling you back into old patterns you swore you were done with?

    If you've ever wondered "Why am I sabotaging myself even when I want to change?", this episode is going to feel like relief. Today, I'm breaking down the five mindset frameworks that completely rewired my life, ended my daily suffering, and helped me shift out of fear, resistance, self-doubt, burnout, and survival mode. 🤓

    These aren't theories. These are the exact tools I learned after privately coaching with David Bayer, going through every level of his program, and investing over six figures into understanding why our beliefs, stories, and emotional patterns silently dictate our results. If you've been feeling like you're driving with the brakes on, this will help you see exactly where that resistance is hiding.

    You'll learn the formula Desire + Non-Resistance = Desired Result, the real truth behind the primal vs. powerful state, and how to identify when your mind is lying to you. You'll also hear how neural sculpting, evidence-building, and the decision matrix helped me stop feeling overwhelmed, trapped, or constantly behind in life.

    By the end, you'll understand how beliefs create thoughts, thoughts create feelings, feelings create actions, and actions create your results and most importantly, how to rewrite that loop from the inside out.


    If this helped you feel even 1% more hopeful, drop a comment with the belief you're ready to release and the new belief you're choosing. Let's rewire your patterns together.

    And if you want to go deeper, join me inside The Great Life Experiment, a free 30-day journey where I send you one powerful question each day to help you live with more clarity, peace, alignment, and purpose.

    Your life doesn't change from knowing the information.

    It changes when you decide and take action.

    Have you ever tried manifesting — but nothing actually happened? 🤔 Do you feel like you're doing all the "right things" — vision boards, affirmations, positive thinking — but still feel stuck? 😩 What if manifestation isn't magic at all… but a real, brain-based process that you can actually train scientifically? 🧠✨

    Welcome to the truth about real manifestation — not fluff, not mystical, not "think-it-and-wait." This episode breaks down how manifestation actually works using psychology, neuroscience, and high-performance habits. If you've ever searched "why isn't my manifestation working" or "how to manifest results in real life," this one's for you. 🚀

    We'll uncover the science behind manifestation, how your belief system and subconscious mind literally shape your perception, and how to rewire your brain for success using alignment, action, and feedback. No magic — just mental engineering that helps you move from "hoping" to "happening." 🔥

    In this episode, we'll talk about:

    00:00 – Why your manifestation isn't working (and what's missing) 🤔

    02:21 The Science of Manifestation – How your brain actually creates results 🧠

    06:41 Visualization & Rewiring – Train your brain like an athlete 🎯

    12:36 Signs Your Manifestation Is Working (and when to realign) 🔍

    Forget the Law of Attraction myths — this episode is about scientific manifestation and emotional alignment that actually leads to results. You'll see how belief + action + feedback create your outcomes, and why faith without focus = frustration.

    Whether you're an entrepreneur, creator, or anyone chasing a bigger life, this episode will help you align your thoughts, beliefs, emotions, and actions — the four pillars of manifestation that actually work in the real world.


    ✨ Stop wishing. Start wiring.

    ✨ Stop visualizing without acting. Start aligning with purpose.

    ✨ Stop waiting for the universe — train your brain to recognize what's already possible.

    If you've ever thought:

    🔹 "Why isn't my manifestation working?"

    🔹 "How can I reprogram my beliefs for success?"

    🔹 "How do I take action without fear?"

    What if your addiction isn't to alcohol or substances — but to control, perfection, or validation? 🤔 Have you ever wondered why success still feels empty, even when you've hit every goal? 🏆
    Or maybe you've been chasing "growth" and "healing," but deep down, something still feels off — like you're disconnected from who you really are. 💭

    This isn't about religion — it's about reclaiming your soul from everything that's been running your life on autopilot. If you've ever asked yourself, "Who am I without my achievements?" or "How do I fix my life when I've tried everything?" — this episode will speak directly to you.

    Join me as I share how living the 12 steps of recovery can heal far more than addiction — it can help you heal control, perfectionism, people-pleasing, and emotional burnout. These steps are not about being broken; they're about remembering who you really are underneath the noise. 🌙

    💭 Practice radical self honesty and self-reflection daily

    🕊️ Build trust in something bigger than yourself (even if you're not religious)

  • 97.The Echo Effect: How to Overcome Quitting Too Soon When Making Big Changes
    Oct 6 2025

    👉 You've chased every win, hit every goal… and still feel restless and unfulfilled. The Great Life Experiment is $300K of learnings distilled into 30 days of reflection that finally show you why. Start Your 30-Day Challenge Now: https://joeyvaillancourt.com/the-30-day-challenge/

    Have you ever tried manifestation, positive affirmations, or goal setting… but gave up because you thought it wasn't working? 🤔 Do you feel like you're doing everything right in your personal development journey, yet the results don't show up fast enough? ⏳ What if the reason isn't that manifestation doesn't work but that you've been missing the hidden principle almost no one talks about? 😮


    In this episode of Real Influence, we dive deep into the Echo Effect, a powerful mindset principle that explains the lag time between when you set new intentions and when they actually manifest in your life. This single shift can completely transform the way you approach the law of attraction, reprogramming the mind, and personal growth.


    You'll discover:


    00:00 – Why affirmations don't work right away

    03:17 – The 3-step framework for consistency

    05:00 – Spotting old programming vs new evidence

    07:01 – Trusting the process without burnout

    09:57 – Why alignment matters more than success


    If you've ever struggled with impatience in your manifestation practice or felt discouraged in your personal development journey, this episode will help you finally understand what's really happening beneath the surface. 🌱


    ✨ Imagine this: instead of feeling frustrated when old patterns show up, you'll recognize them as the "echo effect" proof that the old program is dissolving. You'll learn to reprogram your subconscious mind, celebrate small wins, and stay consistent with your new habits until the results catch up with your vision.


    This is for anyone who's ready to:


    ✅ Achieve big goals without sacrificing health, relationships, or joy

    ✅ Stop chasing success and start actually living in alignment

    ✅ Develop consistency habits that support a fulfilled, balanced life

    ✅ Experience real freedom by embracing patience in success


    🤓 Whether you're into manifestation, mindset shifts, or simply want a practical and refreshing perspective on self-growth, this episode will resonate deeply. Remember: your order has already been placed with the universe. Now it's time to relax, enjoy the process, and trust it's on its way.
