The Identity Tax With Craig Siegel

On today's episode of The CLS Experience , Craig Siegel unpacks the hidden cost of staying loyal to an identity you've already outgrown: the identity tax. Drawing from his own experience on Wall Street, Craig shares how external success can still leave you feeling exhausted and disconnected when you're maintaining an identity instead of building a life that feels aligned. He explores why growth requires us to create space between stimulus and reaction, let old identities die, and become the person our goals actually require. If you feel stuck despite knowing you're capable of more, this episode will challenge you to ask what part of your identity has expired and what you're ready to release. 0:36 Why Staying Loyal to an Old Identity Has a Cost 02:49 The Wall Street Identity Trap 03:33 Why Growth Is a Spiritual Responsibility 05:00 The Identity Funeral and the Power of Restriction 06:08 How Your Identity Can Drive Self Sabotage Early Bird Tickets now available for our October live event, CLS: Formation HERE: Check out The Command Room HERE: To join our community click here . ➤ To connect with Craig Siegel follow Craig on Instagram ➤ Order a copy of my new book The Reinvention Formula today! ➤ Join our CLS texting community for free daily inspiration and business strategies to elevate your day, text (917) 634-3796 ➤ INSTAGRAM ➤ FACEBOOK ➤ TIKTOK ➤ YOUTUBE ➤ WEBSITE ➤ LINKEDIN ➤ X

Food Therapy: The Foods Secretly Fueling Your Anxiety and Limiting Your Capacity for Success With Luis Mojica

On today’s episode of The CLS Experience we have a transformative conversation with somatic educator and holistic nutrition expert Luis Mojica about the powerful connection between food, anxiety, stress, trauma, and human performance. Inspired by his book Food Therapy: Conscious Eating to Navigate Anxiety, Stress, and Trauma , Luis breaks down the concept of “food induced stress” and explains how what we eat directly impacts nervous system regulation, emotional resilience, clarity, leadership, and business capacity. Luis shares his framework of depressant, stimulant, and balancing foods, revealing how many high performers unknowingly rely on stimulants like caffeine and sugar that spike adrenaline, increase reactivity, and contribute to burnout. Together, Craig and Luis explore cravings as emotional and physiological signals, the role of shame in eating patterns, and how balancing foods like protein, fats, fiber, beans, and greens can stabilize glucose and support nervous system healing. Luis also opens up about his own trauma and binge eating journey that led him into this work, while offering practical tools around mindful eating, body awareness, glucose monitoring, and recovery. This conversation is eye opening, practical, deeply healing, and filled with wisdom for anyone looking to improve their energy, emotional regulation, and overall quality of life. 01:41 Food Stress Explained 21:11 Nervous System Ripple 23:07 Cravings As Compass 30:54 Foods That Spike Anxiety Check out Luis on Instagram HERE: Check out Luis HERE: Grab Luis's Book HERE: See me speak at Cathy's Event HERE: Early Bird Tickets now available for our October live event, CLS: Formation HERE: To join our community click here . ➤ Order a copy of Craig's book The Reinvention Formula today! ➤ Join our CLS texting community for free daily inspiration and wisdom to elevate your life, text (917) 634-3796 ➤ INSTAGRAM ➤ FACEBOOK ➤ TIKTOK ➤ YOUTUBE ➤ WEBSITE ➤ LINKEDIN ➤ X

If You Always Feel Behind, Listen to This - Minisode

On today’s episode of The CLS Experience , Craig Siegel explores the difference between living from wholeness and living from lack, revealing how the energy you bring into every situation shapes the opportunities you attract. Craig explains that lack isn't about having less money or fewer resources, it's a mindset rooted in fear, urgency, and seeking external validation. In contrast, wholeness comes from feeling connected to enoughness right now, allowing you to lead with confidence, certainty, and trust. Through relatable examples from business, relationships, and everyday life, Craig shares why people are drawn to certainty, how needy energy quietly repels abundance, and what it looks like to desire everything while needing nothing. This episode is a powerful reminder that lasting abundance begins with who you're being, not what you're chasing. 0:15 Wholeness vs. Lack: The Mindset That Changes Everything 01:12 Why Certainty Attracts and Neediness Repels 01:35 Recognizing the Signs of a Scarcity Mindset 02:18 Becoming the Person Who Naturally Attracts Abundance 03:39 The One Day Wholeness Challenge Early Bird Tickets now available for our October live event, CLS: Formation HERE: To join our community click here . ➤ To connect with Craig Siegel follow Craig on Instagram ➤ Order a copy of my new book The Reinvention Formula today! ➤ Join our CLS texting community for free daily inspiration and business strategies to elevate your day, text (917) 634-3796 ➤ INSTAGRAM ➤ FACEBOOK ➤ TIKTOK ➤ YOUTUBE ➤ WEBSITE ➤ LINKEDIN ➤ X
