607 | Are You Growing Your Self-Confidence? 09/22/2023

607 | Are You Growing Your Self-Confidence? In this episode I am sharing some thoughts on self-confidence, are you growing it or squashing it, and what self-confidence actually means. Self-confidence is a feeling of trust in one's abilities, qualities, and judgment. Self-confidence is an attitude about your skills and abilities. It means you accept and trust yourself and have a sense of control in your life. You know your strengths and weaknesses well and have a positive view of yourself. You set realistic expectations and goals, communicate assertively, and can handle criticism. The challenge is that your external results will NEVER exceed your internal identity, what you believe you are worth, or what you deserve. In today’s episode, we discuss: 1) Confidence is believing in yourself, feeling comfortable in your true self, knowing you have worth. If you are confident, people believe you, confidence is attractive, brings success, helps to connect well with others and you generally feel happier. 2) This can start simply by creating promises with yourself and following through with them consistently, from the workout, water, food, screen time, rest, honouring your needs, and the standards you have set for yourself. The higher the standard, the deeper the self-confidence goes, always challenge yourself to do one more rep! 3) Doorway trigger, say a sentence that leads to confidence when you enter a room, you are shifting your internal energy and what you are looking for and expecting to find. It’s also important to look at the root of why there is a lack of self-confidence, through TIME techniques, NLP tools and subconscious reprogramming you can get to the root of the issue.

606 | The Humour Behind the Badge with Vic Ferrari 09/21/2023

605 | The Gripping Hold Of Shame 09/18/2023

605 | The Gripping Hold Of Shame In this episode, I am sharing a perspective and insight on the power of shame and how it is blocking us from being seen authentically. Releasing shame is one of the first steps to starting to share your story and this is the first step we will be moving through with the authors in the Write Your Damn Book Mastermind. In today’s episode, we discuss: 1) Shame can only be released by giving yourself some grace. Sometimes we have shame and we don’t even know what they are, it’s not our shame to carry it but we do, we pile it on. They’re not our bags, and this shame is stored in our body and in our emotions and will show up, and block you until you can release it. 2) Shame, body, heart, grace, when you feel awkward, that is a shame being activated. When we see someone expressing themselves, we feel awkward and disconnected because the part inside of us wants to be seen and not hold that anymore. Shame gives you the signal that it is not safe to be you. The fascia has no linearity of time, it doesn’t care about the past or future, our fascia remembers as it happened one second ago, it is connected to our self-protection. Our subconscious mind is our body and that is where we store 95+% of our thoughts, beliefs, emotions, decisions, and self-doubt. Your fascia believes it is in the same moment that it was 40-50 years ago. It jumps into self-protection, fascia is always protecting you from the environment. 3) Shame is everything, it is an iron blanket on our shoulders, and it weighs us down and holds us back from our authentic expression. When you say “I am me” your body relaxes and allows, and you being you shift mountains. People will feel you because you can’t be wrong being you.

#604: The Story and The Narrative 09/15/2023

#604: The Story and The Narrative In this episode, I am sharing a reframe of the story vs. the narrative of the story. The story is the story, it is the details of the event, simply the facts. The facts have no emotion, no bearing, no personal responsibility, blame, or meaning behind them. The narrative of the story is what creates the problem that keeps us stuck in a loop of a story that we don’t want to be in. In today’s episode, we discuss: 1) The story is the facts, and bringing yourself back to the facts allows you to stick to the facts. When we are in a more neutral emotional and energetic state we can respond vs. react and see possibilities that are in front of us to create change. We must be willing to let go of the old story before we can allow the new story to unfold. 2) We only accept, believe, and surrender to the thoughts that are equal to our emotional state. The stronger the emotions to the narrative of the story that we are holding onto, the more we are aligned to that experience or emotional state, and then the more the brain freezes and takes a snapshot. That memory is something that we keep replaying and it actually creates a chemistry of when it happened the first time and then our subconscious mind re-creates that event over and over again.

603 | Let’s Make The World More Accessible with Michael Hingson 09/14/2023

602 | It's Not Breaking You Down 09/11/2023

602 | It's Not Breaking You Down In this episode, I am sharing a reframe of a statement or language that we all fall into using. What if the obstacles in front of you are not there to break you down or see how badly you want something? What if they aren’t breaking you down at all, but they are shaping you into the person that you are capable of being? In today’s episode, we discuss: 1) The ocean smashes into the rock thousands of times a day and if you look at the rocks in one day, you will see no change to the rocks. Over time the waves break down the rocks because they are persistent and consistent on a daily basis. You are the waves, breaking down your challenges every day by the action steps you continue to take over and over again. 2) These are compound actions that you can’t see in isolation, they add up more than you realize or think are possible. Your sustained effort will wear down the obstacles in your path and eventually, the things that took you out at the knees will become speed bumps in the road for you that you trip over and they become a misstep and you catch your balance again. As a result, you continue to shape into the person you are capable of becoming, and confidence, and resilience continue to grow.

600 | Liberating Humanity with Paul Hutchinson 09/07/2023

600 | Liberating Humanity with Paul Hutchinson In this episode, we are speaking with the Executive Director of the Sound of Freedom, Paul Hutchinson. Paul Hutchinson has dedicated over a decade to creating a world where every child can experience safety, freedom, and hope. He has personally led or played a critical role in over 70 undercover rescue missions in 15 countries, saving children enslaved in child sex trafficking. In total, Paul has been involved in liberating over 5,000 children. Paul is the Executive Producer of the film “Sound of Freedom”, which exposes the horror of child trafficking, and highlights one of the largest child rescue missions in history– with over 120 victims being liberated – in which Paul himself held a pivotal role. Beyond rescue missions, Paul firmly believes in stopping the demand and healing potential perpetrators to prevent the perpetuation of trauma. To tackle this challenge, Paul founded both the Child Liberation Foundation and Liberate Humanity, organizations actively combating child trafficking and providing healing to troubled individuals. Prior to his charity work, Paul was a Co-Founder of Bridge Investment Group Partners. Bridge now has over $48 Billion in assets under management and is publicly traded on the NYSE as BRDG. Paul is happily married to well-known Colombian actress Hada Vanessa and donates his spare time to local charities, civic organizations, political groups, and universities. In this episode, we discuss: 1) Paul shares his journey from building an incredibly successful business to being asked to be in Columbia with 48 hours notice to be a covert operative in child rescue missions to his current focus now on Liberating Humanity and how everyone can get involved. 2) Paul shared incredible insight and analogies about fear and faith, and how we see ourselves is far more powerful than we realize. We discussed the stats, the importance of having these conversations, and the power of healing tools to support humans in overcoming trauma, releasing shame and guilt, and not passing that on to future generations. Connect with Paul Facebook: Instagram: YouTube: TikTok: Website: Email: Liberating Humanity offers resources to help people heal from trauma, past experiences, addiction, etc. And we help them to become happy, confident, and self-sufficient in their life.

596 | What You Didn’t Know About Resiliency 08/25/2023

596 | What You Didn’t Know About Resiliency In this episode, I am sharing some takeaways from a book I am reading on resiliency. The book is called “The 5 Practices of Highly Resilient People”, by Dr. Taryn Marie Stejskal, and I am only part way through and the concept is so freaking powerful. It starts with asking yourself “what story would people think I was crazy, if they knew about me?” That is the vulnerability story that builds resistance and also builds resiliency. In today’s episode we discuss: 1) The practice of vulnerability is a foundational piece of resilience. To allow yourself to be vulnerable is to allow your inside self, your doubts, fears, insecurities and your authentic self to be seen by the outside world. Can you allow it to be consistent, aka, the same person? When it is the same person that the world sees, this is called congruence, so the practice of vulnerability is a lifelong practice of letting our inner and outer world be congruent with each other. 2) The more congruent we can be, the more we can actually handle hard times of challenge without burning up a ton of energy trying to do or be something that we are not. 3) There are 3 main fears that people experience with vulnerability, and Dr. Taryn calls this Vulnerability Bias, and it is the fear that if we let people see our true authentic selves, they will not like us; they might not love us; or they might leave us. This keeps us in a cage that we are in by choice, holding the key and not allowing ourselves out of. Vulnerability has the ability to be a strength and a superpower, instead of a weakness. That is how it becomes a pillar of resiliency and a muscle we are continuously building.

595: "A Soldier Against All Odds" with LTC Jason Pike In this episode we are speaking with Motivational Speaker/Author, Jason Pike. A decorated combat veteran with multiple deployments, LT. Col. Jason Pike, served 31 years in the US Army including nine years overseas in five countries. Jason earned over 30 service awards & badges and his diversity of Army jobs, assignments, and schools from age 17 to 48 sets this military memoir up differently than most. With a straightforward account of one man’s journey, he inspires audiences nationwide and shows how to be resilient and to persevere no matter what disadvantages and life struggles may happen In this episode we discuss: 1) Some low points in Jason’s story, overcoming osteomyelitis, being identified as having a learning disability, many challenges during his 31 years in the army and how he continued to move forward, not quit, build his grit, perseverance and persistence. 2) The vulnerable experience of writing his book, sharing his story and what his body physically and physiologically experienced with releasing these stories and trauma that his body had held onto for years. It shows the power of our emotions and how sharing a vulnerable story is also a way to release them.

594 | What's Stopping You From Writing Your Book 08/21/2023

594 | What's Stopping You From Writing Your Book In this episode, I am sharing some thoughts to support you in writing your book. Maybe you have had a deep knowing that you were meant to write a book, you want to share your story and you are stuck in the cycle of overwhelm with where to start; concerned with what others might think of you for sharing your story or you might be wondering who your story could help or if it is big enough to share? Every single writer starts insecure, unsure, and afraid. We start with fear, and sometimes even terror, gripping us. And sadly, for some authors, these fears stop them from ever writing their book at all. In today’s episode, we discuss: 1) A lot of the reasons why people don’t write include saying, “I'm too busy to write, I don’t want to be judged, my story is too small, I’m too scared of not doing it right or good enough (aka being a perfectionist); literally feeling unworthy of bringing that big dream to life. 2) This is what I would do instead, I would paint a clear picture of the reader holding the finished book, tapping into all of my senses. I would focus on it being done because it already is. I would uncover any blocks, limiting beliefs that were stopping me from starting: overwhelm; belief that my story wasn’t important enough, and fear of what others might think of me for sharing my story. 3) I would anchor in a new empowering belief that: I can write from a grounded, calm space with full certainty of my story; that I am perfectly designed to help the person that I once was, and a knowing that my story can support people who I haven’t met yet. I would create and use subconscious reprogramming to anchor in and support these new empowering beliefs, like EFT Tapping, Hypnosis, and Subliminals.

593 | How To Create Effortless Results 08/18/2023

593 | How To Create Effortless Results In this episode, I am sharing the concept of creating results using your conscious vs your subconscious mind, and the difference between the two. Conscious change is hard, takes consistent effort and feels like you're starting over and over again. Conscious change is using ~ 5% of your brain's capacity and ability to create change. Subconscious change is using the 95% powerhouse part of your brain), creates effortless, lasting change. In today’s episode we discuss: 1) Conscious change includes writing more to do to lists, journaling your goals, making another vision board, creating another plan to start again, hiring another coach, buying another program thinking this is going to be the one that fixes it. Strategy is only a tiny piece of the puzzle. 2) Subconscious change includes getting to the root of the issue, uncovering the subconscious blocks, limiting beliefs as to why you might not fully believe that it is possible for you, and using tools and techniques to anchor in the changes you desire to create. All of this sets you up for success to create lasting change with ease and effortlessness. 3) I am sharing that this past week I worked with 3 clients on tools and techniques to change behaviours that they have been "fighting, shaming themselves for, and starting and re-starting over and over again."

Joe suffered from multiple addictions (including opioids, alcohol and others) for more than 20 years, mainly due to undiagnosed mental health conditions including Bipolar Disorder II, severe depression, anxiety and adult ADHD.

In this episode we discuss: 1) The importance of going slow to go fast, sometimes we are being asked to slow down, to tap in, to feed ourselves, take care of ourselves first, and none of it is a sign of weakness. 2) We have a current epidemic of loneliness, feeling as though we are lacking connection, not belonging or fitting in, and we’re not as powerless as we think we are.

590 | Can You Allow Yourself To Be Disliked? 08/11/2023

590 | Can You Allow Yourself To Be Disliked? In this episode, I am sharing some thoughts about authenticity and how it is connected with our ability to let ourselves be disliked. This is a tough one as so many of us have struggled with pleasing people, wanting to be liked, not wanting to rock the boat or upset others. We may struggle to be authentic due to lack of self-esteem, fear of judgment by others, and a strong desire for others to like us. In today’s episode we discuss: 1) A “people pleaser” personality means a person feels a strong urge to please others, even at their own expense. They may feel that their wants and needs do not matter or alter their personality around others. People-pleasing prioritizes the needs of others at the expense of your own, while kindness requires giving equal consideration to the needs of others and to your own. 2) Authenticity means you're true to your own personality, values, and spirit, regardless of the pressure that you're under to act otherwise. When you recognize that you’re ok with being disliked, then you will allow yourself more space or leeway to be authentic with yourself and with others.

588 | How Can You Share A Story Authentically 08/07/2023

588 | How Can You Share A Story Authentically In this episode, I am sharing some thoughts from a previous masterclass on how to share a story authentically and what authentic storytelling is. When it comes to sharing a story, writing a book, or even building an online brand it comes from who you are as a person, what you have walked through and knowing that you are your brand. It’s important to learn how to share it authentically. In today’s episode we discuss: 1) Start with discovering your authentic story. What makes you unique, what experiences, stories, emotions and lessons have you learned that have shaped you into the person you are today. What moments have defined you? What values and beliefs do you hold true to your core and how can you share that and embrace vulnerability in an open and genuine way. 2) Cultivating authenticity in the world of social media. This starts with embracing your uniqueness, expressing your true self, your quirks, passions and authentic voice, this is how you attract an audience that resonates with your true essence. This requires you to be transparent, honest and open about your journey, and showing the imperfections. This also requires healthy boundaries, and regular check in’s with yourself. 2) Storytelling is an art, it carries a lot of immense power, personal power to inspire, connect and create change and it is important that we maintain the integrity of the narratives that we share. Integrity also means being mindful of the responsibility of our stories and to use our stories as a force for positive change, shedding light on important topics.

586 | Your Problems Are Your Potential with Vin Infante Today we are speaking with Mindset Coach, Vin Infante. Vin is a therapist, master mindset coach, mentor and speaker. He has spent over 13 years in mental health, working with thousands of people to help create transformation with the people he serves. Currently he is on a mission to impact 1 billion lives positively. In this episode we dive into: 1) Vin shares his journey through being bullied, challenges throughout his younger years until he hit a tipping point at 23 and decided to take radical self acceptance for where he was and ownership for his future. 2) How all change occurs at the identity level, how powerful our thoughts are, and how we have to become it first in order to see the changes happen. We also unpacked the differences between therapy, coaching and mentoring and some of the unethical practices of marketing and business in the online space. 3) Vin shared the 3 steps to self-development: anything you do will help you (read the books, listen to the podcasts); go to events, immerse yourself into the environments, the groups to meet more like minded people; and then after you learn more about yourself, look for the specific investment, or mentor to support you on furthering your growth.

584 | How Fast Can You Reframe 07/31/2023

584 | How Fast Can You Reframe In this episode, I am sharing some thoughts on reframing. Reframing is a strategy that people can use, either on their own or in therapy, to help adjust their mindset. It often involves focusing on more positive thoughts, but it can also be centered on changing excessively high expectations to be more realistic. In this episode we discuss: 1) Reframing is a powerful skill to have as it can give us immediate changes in our feelings about a situation, and make us feel more clear, resourceful, empowered, and optimistic about our circumstances.The steps to reframing include: identifying the pattern of behaviour, the words that need to be changed, establishing communication and ownership with the message, separating behaviours such as naming it or seeing it as a part of you that is trying to keep you safe; taking responsibility and creating a bridge to the future and what you want to create instead of where you currently are. 2) Positive reframing can help you to: reduce stress, build your resiliency muscle, improve relationships, see and act on new opportunities, be more thoughtful, open-minded and kind, find greater happiness in life. 3) Common reframes as an example when it comes to writing a book: Feeling overwhelm, my story isn't big enough; and what will people think, I will share some of the common reframes in relation to this.

583 | What If The Fire Isn’t For You? 07/28/2023

583 | What If The Fire Isn’t For You? In this episode, I am sharing a quote that spoke to me deeply, “People who have overcome darkness in their life typically have a fire inside of them that is almost impossible to extinguish.” ~Stephen Timoney. It feels like the more darkness or challenges we walk through the more I feel the fire to do something with it. In today’s episode we discuss: 1) Suppressing that fire burns me, yet expressing that fire, learning how to share it does 2 things; 1. It sets me free, helps me to heal and solidifies my purpose; 2. It helps me to help others with their stories and that ripple effect pays back in ways I could never fully express. 2) That fire you’re walking through, that you’ve walked through, doesn’t have to be for nothing. Maybe you’re not walking through it. Maybe it’s moving through you to shape you into the person you are capable of becoming. 3) If you’re feeling that pull to learn how to heal and support yourself, to find your voice and do something big and impactful with your story, I’m here to support you through it. Those parts of yourself that you’ve tried so hard to hide are EXACTLY the parts to lean into. That’s where your gifts are!!
