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...

842 | Judgment Is a Mirror — And NLP Holds the Key to Compassion show art 842 | Judgment Is a Mirror — And NLP Holds the Key to Compassion

Own Your Choices Own Your Life

In this episode, I share the idea that judgment acts as a mirror, reflecting our internal beliefs and feelings. We all have our own internal representation of the world, and each person perceives the world through a unique lens shaped by experiences, values, and emotions. This leads to the realization that trying to change someone else's perspective can be a waste of energy, as they are likely operating from their own internal map of the world.  The judgments we fear from others often stem from our self-judgment. Judgment can trigger unresolved beliefs within us, and I emphasize the...

Own Your Choices Own Your Life

In this episode, I’m sharing the importance of challenging our thoughts and the profound impact they can have on our lives. We are not our thoughts; we are human beings experiencing thoughts. With an astonishing 60,000 to 80,000 thoughts racing through our minds each day—most of which are negative and repetitive—it's crucial to recognize that these thoughts are not facts. They are merely programming we have internalized over the years, often without even realizing it. Throughout the episode, I challenge listeners to confront their inner dialogue. I ask, "Why do we accept our thoughts as...

Own Your Choices Own Your Life

In today’s episode, I reflect on recent experiences with clients who have faced toxic coaching situations in the past, emphasizing that coaching should not simply provide answers or only focus on the client’s goals, instead can they help clients uncover the underlying barriers that prevent them from reaching their goals. I share my belief that strategy constitutes only 5% of the equation, while subconscious work—addressing limiting beliefs and emotional blocks—makes up the remaining 95%. Throughout the episode, I stress the significance of getting to the root of why individuals feel...

In this episode, I wanted to share the quote I came across last week, The Persian poet Hafiz said, “The words we speak become the house we live in.”  Our words and thoughts are creating our beliefs which are creating our world.

In this episode, we discuss: 

1) Our words have the power to build people up and give them life or tear people down and bring them death. The words we speak can inspire and encourage others while, in the same sentence, deflating and discouraging ourselves and others.  The words you speak become the house you build and the house you live in, it is either a prison or a cage, and both of these examples of how we speak to ourselves and others. 


2)  Whatever direction your words lead, your mind, body and environment will follow. When we communicate with others and with ourselves internally, we are constructing an imaginary “house”. Then, we live in this house and experience life inside it.  How we interpret the world around us, and how we perceive our identity comes from the house, or the cage that we have built for ourselves.
