The TRU-U podcast
The TRU-U Podcast is a show where listeners of all types and backgrounds can find life-giving takeaways from all sorts of stories and experiences in the pursuit of discovering and developing their TRU selves. This isn't something that can be done all alone and that's where this community comes into play. In anything involving growth or healing, vulnerability is key. So as you journey with me (host - Jason Petit-Frère) you'll get to see and hear much about my own vulnerabilities and low moments, and you'll need to in order to truly understand the value of both the lessons and the wins born from those situations. Everyone's life works in much the same way! I encourage you to absorb as much as possible and to go on to share your wins with someone else who finds themselves where you used to be.
With a strong "why", awareness born from internal reflection as well as external feedback, and a fitting and relevant path forward, I seek to help everyone- desperate (like myself)- to never stay stuck by helping them to think/speak/live as their TRU self.

you. Greetings, hi and hello everyone. My name is jason pizzi flair. I'm a speaker, I'm a podcaster and my life's work is centered around allowing the world to meet the true you by helping you think, speak and eventually live better than yesterday. We do this, first, by establishing a good reason why, a strong and powerful motivation to keep going when the going gets rough. Second, we need awareness and acknowledgement of what's holding us back. And third, we need scalable steps forward as a reliable bridge between who we are right now and who we need to be tomorrow and the day after that, and the day after that and the day after that. This, my friends, is how you go from stuck to thinking as, speaking as and living as the true you the True you.
Speaker 1:Today, I just want to make a bit of an announcement. It's going to be an adjustment for the future release of episodes, in that they will no longer be coming straight at 7 am every Friday. I don't quite know yet how I want to operate in the future. I'm still gaining my footing with all this and eventually I want to turn this into a video podcast and not just an audio podcast. But at this current stage of my life, I'm not able to support that with everything else that's going on. So I'm just asking that, as you continue to listen to these episodes, or that you continue to follow this brand, or at the very least, the podcast side of this brand, that you be patient with the decision-making process and the finding of our voice, as it were. Again, I'm not exactly sure what it's going to look like next week or the weeks following, but this is not me saying that I'm stopping. This is just me saying that I need to figure out a better schedule, if that makes sense. The 7 am on Fridays has worked. The 7 am on Fridays has worked, but now it is becoming a lot more difficult with my current schedule. So it might be later in Friday to allow for Friday morning recordings, or it might be. You know something that I turn into every Monday, as in it's released every Monday morning, and I record it on Fridays, something like that. I'm not exactly sure what we're going to go with, but that's how the cookie crumbles. So, as far as you know, a good lesson to learn from that, it's adaptability.
Speaker 1:Far too often in life we find a rhythm that works during a certain season or during a certain time, or that just that we just think generally works. But then, when we don't have the outlook of seasonal progression, we fall into this trap of rigidity, and I've made this mistake many times where, in one season of my life, practicing the piano and playing music was what gave me fulfillment, what made me feel alive, and it's just what I was the most talented at in that season. But then piano playing would just become dull to me, it just wouldn't scratch that itch anymore and I would get so confused and frustrated with myself, just wondering why does this not work? What is wrong with me? Why do I feel like I'm broken, like I'm not working properly? What's wrong with my brain? Questions like that that don't exactly give me, or that didn't exactly give the past me, a positive or healthy outlook or healthy view of myself. I just saw a problem and I thought the problem was me. The issue was my sight, was my awareness. It was my awareness of seasonal changes that changed the Essentially how this whole seasonal thing started to affect me. It was more so now. It was more so something that I started to being able to predict or being prepared for, as opposed to something that just happened and took me by surprise and that allowed me to be more efficient in whatever area I was next going to be proficient in.
Speaker 1:This, of course, applies more so to anyone who is multi-talented or is has. You know, it doesn't have to be like five different things that you do, but if it's at least two or three, then you know what I'm talking about, where. Whether it's arts, as in cooking, or singing, or drawing, or painting or dancing, graphic design, whatever, or it's something more technical, as in coding, or web design or product design, or it could be being an accountant, something related to numbers or money or CPA, things like that If you're able to do all those things. But then you see that in some times, in certain times, it feels amazing, it feels great. In others it doesn't. It's a seasonal thing, and it doesn't mean that you have to drop it in the seasons that it doesn't feel great. I would venture to suggest that it simply means that your focus should be elsewhere. Stay consistent, keep doing it. If that's what needs to be done, focus on trying to grow in that area, when your mind or your spirit or your body is not telling you that, yeah, this is where I'm. I've got the most growth hormones, as it were, if I may use that term.
Speaker 1:So as far as just the old, the, the, the overarching message know your seasons and when the season changes, you need to make some adjustments as well, because we all know that from summer to fall and into winter you do not wear the same clothes. We're not out here stubbornly walking around in December, during the month of December, with shorts or Speedos. I mean, some people are, but that's just because you know. They're built different and or crazy. Who am I to judge? But either way, normal people don't walk around in a snowy December with shorts on. We adapt by adding on layers, longer sleeves, longer pant legs.
Speaker 1:So why would you not do that for your brain? Why would you not do that for your mind, your heart, for your talents, for your purpose, for your talents, for your purpose? So I'd like you to think on that, and I'll remind you once more that the schedule for these episodes being posted is likely going to change. I don't know what it will be yet, but more details soon to come. Either way, I hope this has been helpful and I hope you continue to enjoy the future episodes and continue on this journey with me. Once again, my name is Jason. This has been the True you Podcast and I pray that you continue to join us in thinking as, speaking as and eventually living as the true you.
