Own Your Choices Own Your Life
In this episode, I am sharing the process of embracing big visions and the fears that often accompany them. I start by sharing a personal anecdote from 2016 when I first received the idea to write my solo book. The initial excitement was quickly overshadowed by fear and skepticism from those around me, which led me to caution against sharing my ideas too freely. I reflect on my experience with launching my NLP coaching certification, Outspoken, where I had to build everything from scratch without any proof of concept. A mentor pointed out the difference between that experience and my current...

In this episode, I address a common question: how do we shift our thinking? I emphasize that while the concept may be simple, the execution is often challenging. I share my personal experience of being in a crisis and how it forced me to reevaluate my choices and control over my life. I encourage listeners to consider how they want to show up in their lives, especially as we approach the end of the year. I discuss the importance of setting realistic goals and focusing on what we want rather than what we don’t want. Many people struggle to articulate their desires, often fixating on their...

In this episode, I want to reflect on the core message that has been a guiding principle throughout my life and this podcast: you always have a choice. No matter your age or stage in life, you possess the power to make choices that shape your reality. I understand that it can often feel like circumstances are beyond our control, but I assure you that we can always choose how we respond to those circumstances. At 55 years old and navigating the complexities of the sandwich generation, caring for aging parents while managing a business that feels ever-evolving, I find myself constantly reminded...

In this episode, we are on the brink of a significant milestone—episode 900! As I prepare to share more of my journey in the upcoming episode, I want to dive deep into a topic that I believe is crucial for anyone looking to make an impact, whether through writing, coaching, speaking, or any other form of expression. Today, I discuss the importance of sharing your story and how it connects to building genuine relationships with others. Many people underestimate the power of their narrative, thinking that strategy alone will lead to success. Strategy is only 5% of the equation; the remaining...

In this episode, I discuss the everyday struggles many authors face, such as fear of judgment from family and friends, and the realization that we cannot control how others perceive our words. Our internal representation of the world shapes our responses, and I share personal anecdotes to illustrate how our states can influence our reactions to others. Instead of focusing on the strategy first, it is essential to get into the right state of mind, energy, and nervous system regulation before writing. Our subconscious mind, which governs 95% of our actions, responds to feelings of safety rather...

In this episode of the podcast, we are sharing a recording from Marsha’s interview on the Ambitious, Awakened & Aligned Podcast. Marsha is interviewed as a guest and wanted to share this incredible interview with her listeners. In this episode, we explore the inner revolution that happens when we stop operating from sheer ambition and start aligning with our subconscious power. Marsha shares what it means to burn the old stories to the ground, step out of proving energy, and own your boldest truths — even when they terrify you. Together, we explore how nervous system regulation,...

In this episode, I explore the concept of being unbothered vs feeling numb. Being unbothered involves feeling emotions without being controlled by them. I recount my journey over the past couple of years, particularly the challenges I've faced, including navigating past stories of teen substance abuse and personal turmoil. Through these experiences, I have learned to strengthen my boundaries and prioritize self-care, allowing me to listen to my needs rather than numb them. I pose the question: Are you numb or unbothered? I explain the characteristics of both states, highlighting that numbness...

In this episode, we are sharing the theme of fire, as a metaphor for personal transformation and as a reflection of my own experiences. This quote summarizes it all: “The fire burned brighter inside of me than around me," by Joshua Graham. What would change if you could learn to embrace the fire as a transformative force rather than a destructive one? I encourage everyone to reflect on what they are carrying that is no longer theirs to bear and to allow the fire to burn away those burdens. By doing so, we can ignite our inner fire, leading to a stronger, more authentic self. ...
info_outlineIn this episode, we are speaking with the Executive Director of the Sound of Freedom, Paul Hutchinson. Paul Hutchinson has dedicated over a decade to creating a world where every child can experience safety, freedom, and hope. He has personally led or played a critical role in over 70 undercover rescue missions in 15 countries, saving children enslaved in child sex trafficking.
In total, Paul has been involved in liberating over 5,000 children. Paul is the Executive Producer of the film “Sound of Freedom”, which exposes the horror of child trafficking, and highlights one of the largest child rescue missions in history– with over 120 victims being liberated – in which Paul himself held a pivotal role. Beyond rescue missions, Paul firmly believes in stopping the demand and healing potential perpetrators to prevent the perpetuation of trauma. To tackle this challenge, Paul founded both the Child Liberation Foundation and Liberate Humanity, organizations actively combating child trafficking and providing healing to troubled individuals. Prior to his charity work, Paul was a Co-Founder of Bridge Investment Group Partners. Bridge now has over $48 Billion in assets under management and is publicly traded on the NYSE as BRDG. Paul is happily married to well-known Colombian actress Hada Vanessa and donates his spare time to local charities, civic organizations, political groups, and universities.
In this episode, we discuss:
1) Paul shares his journey from building an incredibly successful business to being asked to be in Columbia with 48 hours notice to be a covert operative in child rescue missions to his current focus now on Liberating Humanity and how everyone can get involved.
2) Paul shared incredible insight and analogies about fear and faith, and how we see ourselves is far more powerful than we realize. We discussed the stats, the importance of having these conversations, and the power of healing tools to support humans in overcoming trauma, releasing shame and guilt, and not passing that on to future generations.
