853 | When Doubt Takes Up More Space
Own Your Choices Own Your Life
In this episode, I share some thoughts on doubt and how much space it takes up in our lives. Doubt can occupy a significant portion of our lives, often overshadowing our sense of certainty and self-confidence. This episode emphasizes the importance of acknowledging and regulating our emotions, particularly doubt, which can feel like a volcano ready to erupt. I share personal anecdotes about my journey, illustrating that even when it seems like others have it all together, they, too, grapple with similar feelings of uncertainty.

851 | When the World Cracks You Open
Own Your Choices Own Your Life
In this episode, I am sharing the message of being "cracked open" by life's challenges and how these moments can lead to personal growth and clarity. I begin by sharing a powerful quote from Rebecca Campbell's book, "Light is the New Black," which emphasizes the importance of embracing the things that break us down, as they ultimately allow the light to shine through. This is a personal episode as I share the story of my husband, Brad, a Master’s Olympic lifter, who faced a serious injury during a competition. As he set national records, he suffered a painful elbow injury that required...

850 | Why I Stopped Waiting to Feel Ready
Own Your Choices Own Your Life
In this episode, I share my thoughts on the concept of readiness and how it is a lie. I challenge the notion that we must feel 100% ready before starting new ventures. Drawing from personal experiences, I emphasize that readiness often results from taking the leap, not a prerequisite. I encourage listeners to reflect on their own lives and consider times when they felt prepared entirely—chances are, those moments are few and far between. I also touch on the significance of identity work, urging listeners to envision the person they aspire to be and to act as if they are already that...

848 | Rewiring the Stories That Held Me Back - and How You Can Too
Own Your Choices Own Your Life
In this episode, I highlight the importance of awareness in recognizing these limiting beliefs. I discuss how our subconscious can drive us back to familiar patterns, often leading to self-sabotage. I encourage listeners to confront these thoughts and reframe them, asking themselves whether they are valid. Doing so can interrupt the negative loops that keep us from reaching our full potential. Things can become easier, but they never truly become easy. As we grow, we often confront subconscious beliefs that can hinder our progress. I candidly share my experiences of feeling nervous and...

847 | Become the Authority You Were Meant to Be
Own Your Choices Own Your Life
In this episode, I explore how we can shift our mindset from feeling like an imposter to embracing our authority. I start by posing a thought-provoking question: How would you like to perceive imposter syndrome differently? I emphasize that authority doesn't have to be a triggering term; it can simply mean owning your life and your message. Throughout the episode, I discuss the common reasons behind imposter syndrome, such as caring deeply about our work and comparing ourselves to others who seem more experienced.

845 | How Big Do You Allow Yourself to Dream?
Own Your Choices Own Your Life
In this episode, I dive into how big you allow yourself to dream. Where do you see yourself in two to three years? Will you live your dream, or will you still be in the planning, thinking, or avoiding phases? Throughout the episode, I emphasize the role of our subconscious mind in shaping our beliefs and goals. Many people settle for comfortable and familiar aspirations, but I urge you to break free from that mindset. By examining your past achievements and recognizing how far you've come, you can begin to dream beyond what you think is possible. HIGHLIGHTS 00:01:00 - The Importance of...

844 | The Hairdryer Cord - Strengthening Your Mindset for Success
Own Your Choices Own Your Life
In this episode, I share some stats about the sheer volume of daily thoughts—between 60,000 and 80,000, with a staggering 80-90% being repetitive and predominantly negative. This repetition can create thick neural pathways in our brains, reinforcing doubts, fears and limiting beliefs. I use a vivid analogy comparing our thoughts to a hairdryer cord, illustrating how negative thoughts can become strong and durable while positive thoughts often remain fragile and underdeveloped. Throughout the episode, I encourage listeners to recognize the power of their language and internal dialogue. I...
info_outlineToday we are speaking with Soul Coach, Published Author and CEO, Lindsay Anderson. Lindsay is a self-development, spiritual junkie. She is a Gemini/Capricorn/Leo combo and 6/2 Emotional Mani Gen that claims a serious addiction to sushi and hallmark movies. Lindsay is a “retired” Social Worker who began pursuing her soul’s purpose after having experienced rock-bottom when she lost her job, and her relationship, and her sense of self.
She is a 3x published author who is committed to sharing her story and inspiring others to speak their truth. Lindsay has been gifted the name “Bridge Between Two Worlds Woman” from an Indigenous Medicine Woman and she weaves this into her soul purpose as she bridges the worlds of spirituality and humanity, of the magical and the mundane in all that she does. As a Soul Coach, Lindsay uses different tools to help you master your core and serve the collective; human design, gene keys, intuitive wisdom, energetics, and more. If you’re a part of this girl’s circle, you know you will be inspired to live fully and on purpose.
In this episode we discuss:
1) Listening to your soul’s calling, letting it speak, and allowing yourself to hear it. Learning to honour and respect your logical brain and listening to your soul’s guidance can take you to places that your logical brain could never do on its own. It can all turn out better than you could have ever imagined.
2) The insight behind knowing and understanding your human design, and your gene keys to honour the calling you had even before you were born.
3) Living in constant anxiety and resistance to the way life is unfolding vs learning the lessons of surrender, trust, and healing. Also learning to embrace the masculine and feminine in all areas of life and work, instead of it being only one or the other. This path completely changed and transformed Lindsay’s life.
