833 | Clean Out the Closet of Your Limiting Beliefs
Own Your Choices Own Your Life
During a recent live podcast recording, we discussed limiting beliefs and how they can hold us back. I shared my belief that we should focus on building a relationship with them rather than trying to eliminate these beliefs. Our subconscious mind's primary job is to keep us safe, and often, it clings to outdated beliefs that no longer serve us. I likened this to cleaning out a cluttered closet filled with clothes we no longer wear—much like our minds can be filled with old thoughts and stories that don't represent who we are today. As we approach spring, I encouraged listeners to reflect on...

832 | The Story You Tell Yourself Is the Life You Live
Own Your Choices Own Your Life
In this episode, I dive deep into the powerful concept of the stories we tell ourselves and how they shape our reality. I begin by emphasizing that the narrative we create in our minds is the one that ultimately defines our lives. Our subconscious mind is highly responsive to these stories, and if we continuously tell ourselves that we are afraid or incapable, we reinforce those beliefs, leading to a cycle of negativity. I share insights inspired by Erwin McManus, particularly his idea that our fears are intertwined with our nightmares, while our possibilities are linked to our dreams. I...

827 | Rewiring Your Patterns for Ease
Own Your Choices Own Your Life
In this episode, I share the concept of "anchors," a powerful technique from Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP). Have you ever tried to push through resistance only to feel disconnected and unnatural? This struggle often stems from limiting beliefs and ingrained strategies that dictate our actions. Just like baking a cake requires a specific order of operations, so does our approach to personal growth. Anchoring allows us to evoke and harness positive emotions—such as confidence, gratitude, and joy—by consciously recalling specific experiences. However, we often anchor negative emotions...

info_outlineIn this episode, we dive into the fear of starting anything. There is a fear of the unknown, the what if’s, the fear of mistakes, of judgements, of what if I screw up, etc. What if you can paint your new story to be even better than your current one? This quote from Tony Robbins says it all, “Life is a dance between your greatest fear and your deepest desire” ~Tony Robbins
In this episode, we discuss:
1) The fear of starting is a very common feeling, and then we make our worries about starting way bigger, and we feed the fear. We either feed the fear/doubts or feed our faith, we decide what we choose to feed.
2) New situations and new experiences create a ton of unknowns, which also feed our fear of failure and the unknown. When those fears arise we end up procrastinating, being in a space of freeze, fight, flight or fawn. This is how we shift this energy to focus on what we are creating and feeding the trust and belief in ourselves.
