Own Your Choices Own Your Life
Welcome back to the show! In this episode, we delved deep into the topic of shame and its profound impact on our growth in life and business. We explored how shame, often overlooked and suppressed, can manifest as a gremlin within us, affecting our self-perception and identity. Shame, distinguished from guilt, is centred on the belief that "I am bad" rather than "I did something bad." This distinction is crucial as attaching "I am" to negative beliefs can lead to a deep-rooted sense of unworthiness and flaw within ourselves. We discussed how shame thrives on secrecy, silence, and judgment,...

info_outline 752 | How EFT Can Help YouOwn 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...

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...
