In this episode, I explore identity and its crucial role in personal growth and transformation. I share that transitioning to a new identity can be uncomfortable and chaotic.

833 | Clean Out the Closet of Your Limiting Beliefs
Own Your Choices Own Your Life
During a recent live podcast recording, we discussed limiting beliefs and how they can hold us back. I shared my belief that we should focus on building a relationship with them rather than trying to eliminate these beliefs. Our subconscious mind's primary job is to keep us safe, and often, it clings to outdated beliefs that no longer serve us. I likened this to cleaning out a cluttered closet filled with clothes we no longer wear—much like our minds can be filled with old thoughts and stories that don't represent who we are today. As we approach spring, I encouraged listeners to reflect on...

832 | The Story You Tell Yourself Is the Life You Live
Own Your Choices Own Your Life
In this episode, I dive deep into the powerful concept of the stories we tell ourselves and how they shape our reality. I begin by emphasizing that the narrative we create in our minds is the one that ultimately defines our lives. Our subconscious mind is highly responsive to these stories, and if we continuously tell ourselves that we are afraid or incapable, we reinforce those beliefs, leading to a cycle of negativity. I share insights inspired by Erwin McManus, particularly his idea that our fears are intertwined with our nightmares, while our possibilities are linked to our dreams. I...

829 | Can You Feel It Before You Have It?
Own Your Choices Own Your Life
In this episode, I dive into a powerful question: "Can you feel it before you have it?" This inquiry transcends the realm of wealth and touches on various aspects of our lives, including confidence and abundance. Drawing from my personal experiences, I share a moment from a recent panel discussion on wealth, where I confronted my own feelings of lack amidst a challenging time, including the loss of my mother-in-law.
