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,...

Welcome back to the show! In this episode, I explore abundance and the belief systems surrounding it.

Abundance is beyond financial wealth and includes relationships, health, and personal fulfillment. I...

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...

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...

In this episode, I wanted to share some thoughts on our emotions and how they are driving the car.  Picture yourself in the backseat of your car working on your personal development, trying to grow yourself and you get stuck in this perpetual loop of frustrations or emotions on repeat and you can’t find a way to break that pattern.

In this episode, we discuss: 

1) Sometimes our brain can't tell the difference between a bear, an annoying client, or a tailgating car. This is when the “90-second rule” comes in handy. According to Harvard brain scientist Dr. Jill Bolte Taylor, ninety seconds is all it takes to identify an emotion and allow it to dissipate while you simply notice it.

2) Emotions operate as urgent signalling devices. How can you step back, zoom out and start to see what this message, the emotion wants you to know? The emotions feed the stories and the stories feed the emotions. By zooming out, or playing out the feelings of the best case scenario, we are start to create a new loop of emotions that it has all worked out better than we can imagine.
