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,...

info_outlineIn this Heartbeat of My Business Podcast Series, I am thrilled to welcome my dear friend and strategic performance coach, Meghan Weir. Together, we dive deep into the fascinating topic of balancing masculine structure with feminine flow in business. This is the first episode of our 6 Part Podcast Series for the HeartWired CEO Mastermind. Our conversation is rich with insights and personal experiences, making it a must-listen for entrepreneurs seeking to harmonize these energies in their work.
We kick off the episode by introducing ourselves and sharing our backgrounds. Meghan explains her passion for helping entrepreneurs transition from anxiety to being anchored, confident, and clear in their business pursuits. She emphasizes the importance of embodying the principles she teaches, which stems from her journey of discovering the missing pieces in her business strategy.
Reflecting on our shared experiences, we reminisce about meeting in an online mastermind over four years ago. Both of us entered that space feeling overwhelmed and uncertain, despite the wealth of knowledge available. We discuss the lack of intimacy in large group settings and how it can leave participants feeling ungrounded, even when learning valuable skills.
I share my journey as an NLP trainer and how I help individuals reprogram their thoughts and beliefs. We both acknowledge the challenges we faced during the pandemic, which forced us to pivot our businesses online. Meghan and I explored the idea that while we learned a lot from our mastermind experience, we were both craving a deeper connection and understanding of how to integrate feminine energy into our work.
Meghan explains the concept of sealing the cracks in our foundational beliefs, and how limiting beliefs and past traumas can hinder our growth. We discuss the importance of subconscious change work and somatic release to unlock our true potential. I share my business and personal transformation over the past year, highlighting how I have shifted from a place of fear and anxiety to one of empowerment and creativity.
Throughout the episode, we emphasize the significance of combining masculine structure with feminine flow. We discuss how rigid structures can stifle creativity and how allowing space for intuition and emotional expression can lead to greater success in business. Meghan and I both reflect on our growth and the importance of community and support in our journeys.
Towards the end of the episode, we announce our exciting new collaboration: the HeartWired CEO mastermind. This 12-month journey will blend both masculine and feminine energies, providing a supportive environment for entrepreneurs to thrive. We invite listeners to reach out with any questions and encourage them to join us in this transformative experience. See the HeartWired CEO Mastermind Trailer. Click HERE
