907 | When Your Confidence Makes Others Shrink
Own Your Choices Own Your Life
In this episode, I share thoughts on how our confidence can sometimes trigger the insecurities of those around us, leading them to shrink back instead of celebrating our growth. This dynamic is rooted in our individual beliefs and past experiences, which shape how we perceive the world. If our confidence makes someone else shrink, they were never truly cheering for us in the first place. Bless and release and thank them for the role they have played in your life.

904 | Can You Allow Others to Hold Your Vision With You?
Own Your Choices Own Your Life
In this episode, I am sharing the process of embracing big visions and the fears that often accompany them. I start by sharing a personal anecdote from 2016 when I first received the idea to write my solo book. The initial excitement was quickly overshadowed by fear and skepticism from those around me, which led me to caution against sharing my ideas too freely. I reflect on my experience with launching my NLP coaching certification, Outspoken, where I had to build everything from scratch without any proof of concept. A mentor pointed out the difference between that experience and my current...

I encourage listeners to consider how they want to show up in their lives, especially as we approach the end of the year.

899 | Why Strategy Isn’t Enough to Share Your Story
Own Your Choices Own Your Life
In this episode, we are on the brink of a significant milestone—episode 900! As I prepare to share more of my journey in the upcoming episode, I want to dive deep into a topic that I believe is crucial for anyone looking to make an impact, whether through writing, coaching, speaking, or any other form of expression.

898 | How to Write Your Book from the Optimal State
Own Your Choices Own Your Life
In this episode, I discuss the everyday struggles many authors face, such as fear of judgment from family and friends, and the realization that we cannot control how others perceive our words. Our internal representation of the world shapes our responses, and I share personal anecdotes to illustrate how our states can influence our reactions to others. Instead of focusing on the strategy first, it is essential to get into the right state of mind, energy, and nervous system regulation before writing. Our subconscious mind, which governs 95% of our actions, responds to feelings of safety rather...
info_outlineIn this episode, I explore the profound connection between our higher selves and the intuitive downloads we receive throughout our lives. As I prepare to speak at a High-Vibe summit, I know I want to share my personal beliefs about stepping into our highest selves and the transformative power they hold for life and business.
I begin by discussing the concept of intuitive downloads—those sudden, often inexplicable urges to pursue a new idea or project. These downloads come from our higher selves, guiding us toward our true path, even when our conscious minds may resist due to fear or self-doubt. I reflect on my own journey, particularly the creation of my program, Outspoken, which emerged from a powerful, intuitive nudge despite the lack of logical reasoning.
Throughout the episode, I share a deeply personal story from my past, recounting my health struggles and the pivotal moment when I received a clear message from my higher self urging me to fight for a hysterectomy. This experience solidified my belief that our higher selves always guide us, providing insights that can lead to life-changing decisions.
I invite you to embrace their higher selves, trust the guidance they receive, and take actionable steps toward their goals. I also share a free hypnosis and audio bundle to help individuals connect with their higher selves and feel supported on their journey.
