Soul Inspired Gurl
This short episode is a solo episode talking about HEALING. The healing we've done. The healing we've yet to do. And the healing that is between where we are and where we want to be.

info_outlineInto my life walks Corrie Bignell, The Unregistered Nurse / Certified Self Sabotage Coach - with a workshop all about self sabotage.
I was a co-facilitator at a retreat where I had the privilege of hearing all Corrie's work and wisdom. Corrie joins me today to talk ALL about the topic of self sabotage. You are going to want to listen to this.
If you asked me two weeks ago if I self sabotage myself I would've said no.
And once I listened to why most of us are unconsciously self sabotaging ourselves, it all made much more sense. And now my answer is, YES ... but all that is changing.
This episode is all about the topic of self sabotage and more importantly, how to STOP sabotaging yourself.
Short Overview:
- Corrie's personal history with self sabotage
- Becoming a Certified Self Sabotage Coach
- Self-sabotage and the influence of programming on our subconscious minds.
- How programming from childhood and the media can contribute to self-destructive behaviors.
- The need to reprogram the subconscious mind to overcome self-sabotage and achieve personal growth and success.
Main Takeaways:
- The subconscious mind can process a vast amount of information and influences our thoughts and behaviors.
- Self-sabotage can manifest in various areas of life, such as health, finances, and relationships.
- Programming from childhood and media exposure can contribute to self-sabotaging behaviors.
- Reprogramming the subconscious mind through techniques like hypnotherapy can help overcome self-sabotage and achieve personal growth. The prefrontal cortex is responsible for impulse control, personality, motivation, and fear. Lifestyle factors such as toxins and negative programming can damage the prefrontal cortex and lead to self-sabotage.
- Toxins that damage the prefrontal cortex include coffee, alcohol, big pharma products, nicotine, and sugars. Eliminating or reducing exposure to these toxins can support brain health and reduce self-sabotaging behaviors.
- Reprogramming the subconscious mind through hypnotherapy and positive repetition can help change self-sabotaging behaviors and beliefs. Surrounding oneself with positive influences and engaging in empowering activities can also support positive change.
- Physical health is essential for overall well-being and empowerment. Taking care of one's physical health can contribute to mental and emotional strength and resilience.
- Taking action and making small changes in daily habits and routines can lead to significant positive transformations.
- Surrounding oneself with positive and uplifting people can also support personal growth and change.
