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...

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...

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...

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. I highlight the importance of recognizing that we often compare our beginning to...

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...

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_outlineIn this episode, I am sharing the tools of NLP, subconscious reprogramming, and how these tools have changed how I operate in my life and business over the last 3 years. I don’t even recognize myself, and I smile when I see those old versions show up again. Now this is not a slam myself moment, because that is not productive at all. I wanted to share how these tools have made a huge difference in my life and business and maybe you will see yourself in my story.
In today’s episode, we discuss:
1) NLP, neurolinguistic programming, came into my life around 10 years ago, although I had no idea what it was. Tony Robbins, his work impacted me tremendously years ago when I realized the words I was speaking had power in my life. It officially came into my life 3 years ago when I took my NLP practitioners, signing up while in the hospital trying to figure out how I was going to recover from back surgery. Let’s keep this super simple, someone asked me on a recent podcast what the difference NLP brought into my life and business and I decided to actually visit that question and write it down.
2) Before - I did not trust my voice or my message, and deep down had that perfectionist/people pleaser message on repeat. I pushed super hard, to burnout regularly as thought it was a badge of honour, I didn’t listen and I was in the constant spiral energy of proving my self-worth. I made my thoughts, my results mean something about me and my self-worth. I believed the limiting beliefs were true and were predicting my success or lack of success. I was on a constant search for more strategy as I was convinced I was missing it and it would help me move my “blocks”. Another coach and another program would have the answer I was missing. When you search for or sign up from these things from a space of lack, you will never find what you are looking for. These decisions need to come from a space of empowerment.
3) After NLP - I am not going to tell you that it’s perfectly smooth without any challenges because that is ridiculous. In fact I can tell you that we have been walking through one of the toughest years with so many challenges and all things considered, I am damn proud of myself for how I am navigating it all. I trust my voice, message and live my life OUTSPOKEN, not in the reactive, waste energy way, but in the way that I honour my voice, energy and message. I pick my battles. I listen way more than ever, I honour my energy and I ask what I need and I honour and value it. I prioritize rest, self care, healing and my subconscious reprogramming tools. I recognize my thoughts as thoughts, and literally the building blocks to beliefs. Rewriting and reprogramming new empowering thoughts, hello subconscious reprogramming. Limiting beliefs, I go to the root cause with the techniques that I have access to create lasting changes, and I understand the power of my SBM to support my conscious mind in going after my goals
