Own Your Choices Own Your Life
In this episode, we talk about the board-breaking exercise to release limiting beliefs and take a moment to celebrate how far you’ve come. Board breaking is a metaphor, an empowering exercise to break through your perceived limitations in your life. I have done this exercise a few times and it looks easy, but it is not. I wanted to share an experience of breaking a board I had in my NLP Master Practitioner over 18 months ago and how it shifted me to release those limiting beliefs. This is a reminder to look back at how far you’ve come. In this episode, we...

688 | Do You Wire Your Brain For Judgement?
Own Your Choices Own Your Life
In this episode, we talk about the awareness of if you are wiring your brain for judgment, criticism or comparison as it relates to social media use. I recently heard a quote on the Growth Day App with Brendon Bouchard, the link to try it out is below. In this episode, we discuss: 1) Judgments and decisions saturate people's lives. Most people scroll past 1000 posts a day which means you have wired your brain for judgment comparison and contempt 1000 times over on a minimum per day. This is with 1-2 hours of scrolling per day. 2) How can you become more intentional with your time...

687 | Speak Your Vision to Life

In this episode, we talk about how important it is to speak your vision to life, focusing on what do you see, what do you hear, what do you feel, and then detaching from how it happens and comes to life. The how is not up to you. I share a personal example of how I blew past my Q1 goals for 2024, even after I almost felt like quitting. In this episode, we discuss: 1) Speak life into where you are going as opposed to where you have been.

685 | Belief Will Take You Further Than Talent
Own Your Choices Own Your Life
In this episode, we talk about how belief will take you further than talent. Even more, than this, it requires that you have belief to get started. It is our job to raise our beliefs to match our vision, not just the belief but also the identity of the person who can bring that vision to life. I heard this Henry Ford example, he could have said I can’t build cars because if they break down, we have no mechanic shops to fix them, no idea where we will make the tires or the parts to fix them, he could have said: “there’s no point in starting.” There has to come a moment where...

info_outline#279: Why Your Story Matters
In this "Monday mindset'' episode, I am sharing some lessons I have learned over the past few years why our story matters. When we are going through difficult times we tend to retreat from the world and hide. It is our way of avoiding being hurt, judged, criticized or even being seen. Living this way provides no solutions or changes. When we are open to seeing that our stories, experiences and lessons make us who we are and who we are becoming, we can truly find and create freedom in our lives. This is one of my fav quotes, “You’re not a victim for sharing your story. You are a survivor setting the world on fire with your truth. And you never know who needs your light, your warmth and your raging courage.” Alex Elle
In today’s episode we discuss:
1) Our stories all matter because we all matter. Everyone has something to contribute, share and give in this world and our stories create who we are and who we are becoming. They make a massive impact in our lives and the sooner we acknowledge that, the sooner we can be on the path to being “free” from the weight of our stories.
2) Seeing our stories differently requires learning to stand ON your story instead of IN it. The reason why it feels like your story doesn't matter is because you are continuing to live in it. When we are stuck in our story, we are on a repeat cycle of frustration, comparison, resentment, anger and victimhood. No change comes from this cycle.
3) Our stories connect us, remind us that we are human and not alone. We all crave human connections, and we are connected by our stories, our pain and our emotions. Shifting this allows us to give our power back to ourselves and not the story.
4) Is there a purpose or a reason for your story? How is it nudging you to become the person you were meant to become? Finding a purpose in our stories, realizing that it is not all about us anymore can create a massive shift in our healing and our energy.
