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...

821 | It's Not About Whether Anyone Else Believes in You
Own Your Choices Own Your Life
In this episode, I am sharing the myth that you need someone to believe in order to have success in yourself. I challenge the notion that we need this external belief to move forward in our lives and businesses. Instead, I emphasize the importance of cultivating our own belief in ourselves, as this internal conviction is what truly drives change and success. Throughout the episode, I introduce the idea that our calling is uniquely ours—it's not a conference call where everyone else is expected to cheer us on.
