802 | Your Growth Comes From Uncertainty
Own Your Choices Own Your Life
In this episode, I dive into the idea of certainty. It's common to look at others who seem to have it all figured out and believe they possess the confidence we lack.

798 | From Dreams to Reality: How Scripting Can Transform Your Life
Own Your Choices Own Your Life
As we approach Christmas and the end of the year, I’m excited to dive into a topic that has been transformative in my life: scripting. This technique, which I began exploring about ten years ago, has evolved significantly for me over the years. Initially, I used colourful markers and creative writing to express what I wanted to change in my life, unaware of the deeper principles of NLP and subconscious programming that would later enhance my practice. In this episode, I reflect on my journey with scripting, starting from dissatisfaction in various aspects of my life—business,...
