Own Your Choices Own Your Life

I received a challenging message that triggered a sense of contraction within me. I discussed how this contraction is often our subconscious mind...

874 | The Day I Stopped Chasing and Started Leading
Own Your Choices Own Your Life
In this episode, I share my thoughts on the common tendency to chase after goals—reaching a new income level, achieving a sold-out offer, or becoming the version of ourselves we aspire to be. I emphasize that instead of chasing these external validations, we should focus on becoming the person who embodies those goals. Chasing often stems from a place of lack, where we seek external validation to feel worthy. I share stories of individuals who achieved their goals only to find that they still felt unfulfilled, highlighting the importance of internal validation. Throughout the episode, I...

872 | When the War Inside You Ends
Own Your Choices Own Your Life
In this episode, I discuss the internal conflict many of us experience, which I metaphorically call a "war" within ourselves. This internal struggle often arises when two parts of us desire different outcomes, leading to feelings of doubt, fear, and uncertainty. I explore how resisting these conflicting parts can perpetuate a cycle of self-sabotage and emotional turmoil. Drawing from a recent in-person Outspoken Intensive, I introduce the powerful tool of Parts Integration, a technique rooted in Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP). This method allows individuals to recognize and reconcile their...

In this episode, I am talking about how sharing our stories can lead to deep healing. I reflect on my own journey of speaking out about my experiences, particularly around the challenges of dealing with teen substance abuse and the misconceptions I held about healing. I emphasize that many of us often feel the need to have everything perfectly aligned before we share our truths, but this mindset can block our healing process. I share a pivotal moment from my past when I realized that speaking about my struggles not only helped me feel less alone but also opened doors to healing I never...

It's a dream for many, with 81% of people expressing a desire to write a book, yet fewer than 1% actually follow through and publish one.

Throughout the episode, I explore the common fears and beliefs that hold aspiring authors back. Many struggle with feelings of inadequacy, fearing that their stories aren't significant enough or that they might hurt others. I emphasize that these fears often stem...

868 | Alignment and Peace May Feel Boring
Own Your Choices Own Your Life
In this episode, I am sharing the concept of alignment and how it can sometimes feel boring or uncomfortable, especially if you're used to living in chaos. We are conditioned to gravitate towards what feels familiar, even if it’s not what we truly want. Our subconscious minds often choose chaos over peace because it’s what we know. I emphasize that if you find yourself repeatedly returning to unhealthy relationships or stressful situations, it’s likely because they feel normal to you. Imagine what it would feel like to train and reprogram your subconscious mind to become familiar with...

866 | The Most Freeing Lesson I’ve Ever Learned
Own Your Choices Own Your Life
In this episode, I am sharing my take on the concept of "Let Them," inspired by Mel Robbins' teachings. I share my own journey and the lessons I've learned about control, choice, and the importance of allowing others to navigate their paths. I begin by reflecting on my experience attending a Mel Robbins event, where her powerful message resonated with me, despite my initial discomfort. I discuss how the idea of "Let Them" felt foreign to me as a parent who has faced the challenges of teen substance abuse. For me, the concept was not just about relinquishing control over trivial matters like...
info_outlineIn this episode, I want to share some thoughts on logic and creativity and tie it back to our conscious and unconscious mind and some tips on how to shift this.
In this episode, we discuss:
1) Our unconscious mind is responsible for 95-99 % of our thoughts, beliefs and this is ultimately connected to our actions. We will not take action on something we don’t believe is possible. We also will always move towards what is familiar, even if that doesn't serve us or isn't part of our big vision moving forward. So is what we say we want and our actions on the same page?
2) Our conscious mind is all about creativity, imagination, and the vision of what we want to bring to life. So the idea, the download hits and then we get excited and then we fall into the how, the logic, and immediately our subconscious mind shows us the proof, what is familiar to us and before we know it we are back where we started. Logic is blocking us from creating change.
