752 | How EFT Can Help You
Own Your Choices Own Your Life
In this episode, I dive deep into the concept of why EFT tapping works, explore the intricate workings of our subconscious mind and how EFT tapping can help us reprogram our thoughts and emotions. As children, we absorb information through our senses, processing 2.3 million bytes of data per second. However, our brains can only handle 126 bits of information, leading to a filtering process where we distort, delete, or generalize information to make sense of it. This filtering process can lead to the internalization of negative emotions and perceptions, disrupting our body's energy...

749: What You Are Avoiding, You Are Keeping Alive
Own Your Choices Own Your Life
In this episode, I wanted to share thoughts on avoidance, why you might be avoiding something, and how you can shift through that stuck emotion. In this episode, we discuss: 1) Avoidance is a way to make you feel in control, to avoid rejection or to avoid discomfort. Avoidance behaviour is a way to cope with uncomfortable thoughts or feelings. Many people rely on avoidance as a coping mechanism, which can seem like the easier path compared to confrontation — but avoidance can be harmful in the long run, leading to more fear, anxiety, and unhealthy habits 2) Your...

Own Your Choices Own Your Life
In this episode, I wanted to share thoughts on fear, what fear is, what it is trying to do, and how to change your relationship with fear so that it doesn’t have to hold you back in your life. Fear is a primal response that tries to keep you safe and protected, exactly what your subconscious mind is built to do. “Fear can have a voice, it doesn’t get a vote.” by Elizabeth Gilbert. Stop trying to rid yourself of fear; it doesn’t go away; you build a better relationship with it. Fear can keep you safe; it has well-meaning intentions, yet it doesn’t get the deciding vote or the...

744 | The Intense Hold of Anger and Sadness
Own Your Choices Own Your Life
In this episode, I wanted to share some insight into emotions in our bodies and how they continue to contribute to the stories we tell ourselves. Our emotions can put us on a roller coaster daily; if we haven’t been taught how to feel them, recognize and process them if we have also been told to be afraid of them, we don’t know what to do with them. Then those unknown emotions become scary and unknown, and our subconscious mind deems unknown and unfamiliar as unsafe, so we avoid them at all costs. “The mind is a superb instrument if used rightly. Used wrongly, however, it becomes...

743 | What To Do When it Feels Like Life Is Pushing You
Own Your Choices Own Your Life
In this episode, I wanted to share thoughts on what to do when life feels like pushing you or putting pressure on you and how to handle failure or setbacks because of it. First off, I am not a huge fan of the word failure because we are never failing, and there is no such thing as failure, only feedback. In this episode, we discuss: 1) How do you keep lif’ing when it feels like life is really hard? Do you meet it with a ton of resistance, pushback and fighting, which only decreases your ability to meet yourself with compassion or grace? 2) Remember that everything is...
info_outlineIn this episode, I am sharing a quote that spoke to me deeply, “People who have overcome darkness in their life typically have a fire inside of them that is almost impossible to extinguish.” ~Stephen Timoney. It feels like the more darkness or challenges we walk through the more I feel the fire to do something with it.
In today’s episode we discuss:
1) Suppressing that fire burns me, yet expressing that fire, learning how to share it does 2 things; 1. It sets me free, helps me to heal and solidifies my purpose; 2. It helps me to help others with their stories and that ripple effect pays back in ways I could never fully express.
2) That fire you’re walking through, that you’ve walked through, doesn’t have to be for nothing. Maybe you’re not walking through it. Maybe it’s moving through you to shape you into the person you are capable of becoming.
3) If you’re feeling that pull to learn how to heal and support yourself, to find your voice and do something big and impactful with your story, I’m here to support you through it. Those parts of yourself that you’ve tried so hard to hide are EXACTLY the parts to lean into. That’s where your gifts are!!
