In this episode, I encourage listeners to embrace the challenges of pursuing their dreams. I discuss the inevitability of losing people along the way and how this can create space for new relationships that align with our evolving journey.

As I recount my own experiences in the online space over the past 12 years, I highlight the significance of playing the long game and remaining anchored in our vision. I remind listeners that success may seem distant, but it is often just around the corner, and the journey is filled with invaluable lessons and growth.

803 | Navigating the Journey of Writing Your Book
I reflect on my own journey of writing my solo book, "When She Stopped Asking Why," which I began in 2016 and published in 2017. I share the challenges I faced, including the lack of support and the vulnerability of sharing my story while still living it. This experience led me to create the "Write Your Damn Book" mastermind, aimed at providing the support I wished I had during my writing process. Throughout the episode, I explore the common barriers that prevent aspiring authors from writing their books. Many people feel their stories aren't significant enough, are overwhelmed by the enormity of the task, or struggle with self-doubt and perfectionism. I emphasize that these feelings are universal among writers, regardless of background or experience. To help you overcome these obstacles, I discuss the importance of shifting your mindset and beliefs. Visualization techniques can be powerful tools in this process. I encourage you to imagine your readers holding your book, feeling seen and inspired by your story. By focusing on your "why" and recognizing that you are perfectly designed to help others who were once in your shoes, you can begin to dismantle the barriers holding you back.

802 | Your Growth Comes From Uncertainty
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. I challenge this notion by asserting that certainty is not something external that can be given to us; rather, it comes from within. I share my personal experience of writing my book during a chaotic time in my life, highlighting how I found certainty amidst uncertainty. Throughout the episode, I encourage you to embrace your feelings of uncertainty as a natural part of growth. I discuss how successful individuals often face challenges that are not visible to the outside world, and how they frame their experiences as opportunities for learning and growth. I emphasize that when we resist uncertainty, we risk stagnation, but by accepting it, we open ourselves up to new possibilities. HIGHLIGHTS 00:01:00 - The Illusion of Certainty 00:02:00 - Embracing Uncertainty 00:03:00 - Finding Certainty Within 00:04:00 - Navigating Chaos 00:05:00 - The Reality of Successful People 00:06:00 - The Stagnation of Resistance 00:07:00 - Reframing Uncertainty 00:08:00 - Trusting the Process 00:09:00 - Invitation to Self-Reflection Marsha Vanwynsberghe — NLP Storytelling Trainer, OUTSPOKEN NLP Coaching Certification, Author, Speaker, and Podcaster Download “You Are Supported” Hypnosis and Subliminal Bundle Join the next cohort of OUTSPOKEN NLP Coaching Certification (kick-off in March 2025) Learn more about changing the Stories We Tell Ourselves Digital Program .

798 | From Dreams to Reality: How Scripting Can Transform Your Life

798 | From Dreams to Reality: How Scripting Can Transform 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, relationships, health, and income. I share how my first script, a vibrant 10-page document, helped me envision a new reality. I discussed the importance of regularly reading and listening to my scripts, as they initially felt foreign to me. Over time, I learned that our subconscious mind drives 95% of our results, which led me to incorporate subconscious reprogramming and NLP into my scripting practice. This year, I’m thrilled to announce a special scripting workshop masterclass, co-hosted with my dear friend Megan Weir, scheduled for December 30th. This "The Flow Zone Masterclass" masterclass will combine scripting with breathwork and embodiment practices to help participants align with their 2025 vision. HIGHLIGHTS 00:00:00 - Introduction to Scripting and Personal Growth 00:01:00 - The Journey of Scripting: From Past to Present 00:02:30 - Understanding the Subconscious Mind 00:03:50 - The Importance of Identity Work 00:05:10 - Scripting for the New Year: Setting Intentions 00:06:30 - The Power of Creative Visualization 00:07:50 - Self-Leadership and Inner Safety 00:09:10 - Combining Scripting with Somatic Practices 00:10:30 - Embodying Your Future Self 00:11:50 - Trusting Yourself and Neutrality in Business 00:13:10 - Invitation to the Flow Zone Masterclass Marsha Vanwynsberghe — NLP Storytelling Trainer, OUTSPOKEN NLP Coaching Certification, Author, Speaker, and Podcaster Download “You Are Supported” Hypnosis and Subliminal Bundle Join the next cohort of OUTSPOKEN NLP Coaching Certification (kick-off in March 2025) Learn more about changing the Stories We Tell Ourselves Digital Program .

797 | The Heartbeat of My Business - Own Your Stage & Activate Your Voice
In 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 owning your stage and activating your voice. This is episode six of our series on The Heartbeat of My Business. We explore the profound connection between these concepts and how they can empower individuals to express themselves authentically, whether on social media, in public speaking, or everyday life. Meghan shares her journey, recounting a pivotal moment from her university days when she faced a public speaking challenge that left her feeling paralyzed. This experience led her to drop out of that class, but it also set the stage for her eventual transformation. Fast forward to today, and Meghan has not only embraced the online space but has also launched her podcast, she is writing her book, and is stepping into the role of a keynote speaker. Her evolution is a testament to the power of activating one's voice and overcoming subconscious beliefs that hold us back. As we discuss the importance of addressing these limiting beliefs, I emphasize the difference between conscious coaching and the deeper work we do to clear subconscious blocks. Meghan reflects on her journey of overcoming the belief that "nobody wants to hear what I have to say," and how this realization has allowed her to step into her power and share her message with confidence. Throughout the episode, we emphasize the significance of community and support in this journey. We introduce our upcoming HeartWired CEO Mastermind, a unique opportunity for individuals to join us in a year-long container designed to help them grow, expand, and ultimately take their stage. We invite listeners to connect with us, whether through our free networking space, Alliance, or by exploring the Mastermind. This episode is not just about public speaking; it's about finding your voice, owning your truth, and stepping into your power. We hope to inspire our listeners to embrace their unique stages and share their gifts with the world. Join us as we celebrate the journey of activation and empowerment! 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.

796 | Rewriting Your Stories to Change Your Life
I was recently a guest on a friend and client’s podcast, Renee Walker of the Spiritually Wired Podcast. Renee was an incredible host, and she asked so many great questions about rewriting stories and how NLP has supported me with this work. I knew I wanted to reshare the episode on this show, too. Be sure to tune in as Renée and Marsha chat all about the transformative work that can come from Neuro Linguistic Programming, also known as NLP, and demystifying what they are all about when it comes to breaking through the barriers of your unconscious mind and unhealthy thought patterns. Listen for more on: • There are misconceptions about what NLP does and doesn’t do. • Understanding the conscious vs. subconscious mind and why you must get to the root of your beliefs and desires. • Healing and NLP work is not a quick fix but requires time for constant healing and breaking patterns with practice. • Where Marsha’s commitment to helping other people become outspoken came from. • The healing and universal feelings found in sharing our stories. • Advice on where to start if you are feeling stuck and hopeless.

795 | What Did 2024 Teach You?
In this episode of the podcast, I reflect on the transformative journey of the past year and share a powerful practice for you to try as we approach the end of 2024. It is so important to take a moment to pause and consider what this year has taught you before we rush into setting goals for 2025. This year has taught me that I cannot escape who I am, and it is time to embrace my authentic self rather than conform to external expectations. Throughout the episode, I explore the concept of duality, sharing how I have simultaneously experienced significant growth in my business and personal challenges. I highlight the importance of recognizing that both good and bad can coexist and that we don’t need to wait for challenges to resolve before we can experience success. As I reflect on my mantra—“As my business grows, my relationships and health thrive”—I share how I had to confront and rewrite limiting beliefs that held me back. I encourage listeners to create their mantras that reflect what they truly desire, even if they don’t believe it yet. Towards the end of the episode, I invite you to write a thank-you letter to yourself for the lessons learned in 2024, regardless of how the year went. It is an enlightening experience.

Together, we dive deep into the dive deep into the transformative power of sisterhood and collaboration. This is episode five of our series, and we are excited to explore taking bold moves and having unbreakable confidence in growing and scaling your business. Throughout the episode, we explore the concept of bold moves—how they often feel daunting at the moment but can lead to significant growth when reflected upon. I share my strategy of asking myself whether I would regret not taking a chance, which has guided me in making decisions that align with my values and aspirations. We emphasize that confidence is not an inherent trait but a skill that can be developed through action and experience. Meghan and I also touch on the importance of self-care and nervous system regulation in supporting ourselves during challenging times. We recount personal experiences, including a recent weekend where I had to pause and listen to my body, highlighting the necessity of giving ourselves grace and space to recalibrate. We provide insights on how to cultivate a deeper sense of trust within ourselves, which is essential for making bold moves in both personal and professional realms. We stress that true certainty comes from within and that seeking external validation can lead to unhealthy patterns. We announce our exciting new collaboration: the HeartWired CEO mastermind.

Anna shared her profound experiences with trauma, healing, and the pivotal moments that led her to explore the role of fascia in our overall health. She explained how her early struggles with psychological and physical issues prompted her to seek deeper understanding and healing methods. After years of therapy and self-discovery, Anna realized that her body was trying to communicate with her, and that the key to her healing lay in movement and the manipulation of fascia. Throughout our conversation, Anna dove into the science of fascia, describing it as a vital connective tissue that organizes and supports our entire body system. She emphasized that fascia is not just a passive structure but an active participant in our physical and emotional well-being. With its unique properties, fascia responds to both physical and emotional loads, influencing our health in ways we often overlook.

792 | How Important Is It for You to Be Right?
In this episode, I dive into a topic that resonates deeply, especially as we approach the holiday season—when many of us find ourselves in close quarters with family members we may not always see eye to eye with. The stress and chaos of the holidays can often exacerbate tensions, leading to conflicts that leave us feeling drained and frustrated. Throughout the episode, I encourage listeners to consider their energy in conversations, especially during disagreements. I discuss how our words and thoughts can create a toxic cycle of conflict, likening it to "spewing poison" that ultimately harms ourselves. I share insights from my work with clients, highlighting the importance of recognizing when we are investing energy into trying to change someone who may not be open to it. Our language has the power to either escalate or de-escalate a situation. I provide practical examples of how to shift our language to promote peace and connection, emphasizing that it’s okay to disagree and that we don’t always have to be on the same page.

This ultimatum ignited Carly's fiery spirit, leading her to realize that she could pursue both her passions and serve small businesses in a meaningful way. Carly recounted the early days of her business, where she started with a blog and gradually built her agency. She shared the transformative experience of bringing her husband, Luke, into the business, emphasizing the importance of their complementary skill sets and the growth they achieved together.

Carly shared her insights on hiring slowly and ensuring cultural fit, as well as the evolution of her role from hands-on work to stepping into a CEO position. She candidly discussed the struggles of balancing personal and professional life, especially during a tumultuous period when they faced a devastating house fire. Carly's journey through survival mode revealed the importance of self-care and the necessity of asking for help. We discussed the stigma around vulnerability and how showing up authentically can create deeper connections with others.

789 | Breaking Free from the Cycle of Self-Criticism
In this episode, as we approach the end of 2024, I dive into the often challenging process of self-reflection that many of us face at this time of year. It's common to find ourselves caught in a cycle of overthinking and self-criticism, questioning our achievements and feeling like we haven't done enough. I share my personal experiences of being my own harshest critic and how this mindset can hinder our growth and success. I explore the idea that we tend to be most critical of the very things that showcase our unique gifts and talents. I discuss how this self-doubt can stem from external influences, such as discouraging comments from others, which we internalize and allow to shape our self-perception. By over-analyzing our shortcomings, we create barriers that prevent us from moving forward. I emphasize the importance of shifting our mindset from one of shame and judgment to a more neutral perspective. Neutral language is a tool for self-reflection, encouraging listeners to recognize their patterns of self-criticism and to replace negative self-talk with curiosity and understanding. This shift can help us break free from the fog of doubt and allow us to see our strengths more clearly. I also touch on the significance of recognizing our emotional responses and how they can impact our ability to expand in our personal and professional lives. By focusing on our body and the present moment, we can release overthinking and align ourselves with our true potential. I encourage you to celebrate your achievements from 2024 before setting new goals for 2025. Acknowledging our wins, no matter how small, is crucial for fostering a mindset of abundance and growth. By honouring our journey and recognizing our strengths, we can set ourselves up for success in the coming year. If you are ready to learn these tools, techniques and methods for changing your beliefs, thoughts and stories, I invite you into the OUTSPOKEN NLP Coaching Certification.

In 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 intricate relationship between strategy and soul in building a successful business. This is episode three of our series, and we are excited to explore how to craft a multi-six-figure business strategy that resonates with authenticity and purpose. As we dive into the core topic of the episode, we discuss our personal journeys and the challenges we've faced in integrating both the masculine and feminine energies in our businesses. Meghan shares her experience of being highly intuitive and soul-driven, initially resisting the structured systems that she believed would stifle her creativity. I recount my struggle with feeling confined by rigid structures, believing that success could only be achieved through strict strategies. Throughout our conversation, we highlight the importance of balancing these two energies. We discuss how having a solid strategy in place can enhance the flow of creativity and intuition, allowing for a more expansive and fulfilling business experience. We both reflect on how our past experiences in the entrepreneurial space have shaped our understanding of this balance, and how we’ve learned to embrace both the structure and the flow. We also touch on the significance of nervous system regulation in sustaining growth. Megan emphasizes that without a regulated nervous system, entrepreneurs may experience burnout and anxiety, leading to a rollercoaster of results. We share insights on how to cultivate a sense of safety and readiness for expansion, allowing for a more grounded approach to business growth. We announce our exciting new collaboration: the HeartWired CEO mastermind.

787 | Learning to Heal Your Relationship with Money with Hanna Bier
In this episode, I am speaking with Money Coach Hanna Bier who works with ambitious women from around the world to recreate their relationship with money from the inside out and step into a world of financial overflow. Hanna is known as the founder of Money Bliss and the author of her new book, Wealth From Within, Hanna has led tens of thousands of private and group sessions and has helped hundreds upon hundreds of clients join her in living blissfully and abundantly. Hanna shared her personal story, revealing that her relationship with money was initially fraught with anxiety and fear. Despite being a successful business owner for over a decade, she described feeling overwhelmed by the online space and the emotional whiplash it often brings. Her journey into understanding money began out of necessity during her studies in international fashion management, where she struggled with anxiety and depression. This led her to seek emotional healing tools, which ultimately transformed her relationship with money. We delved into the concept of family constellation therapy, a modality that Hanna uses to address the transgenerational patterns affecting our financial beliefs. She explained how her family's history, particularly the trauma experienced by her grandparents during World War II, influenced her fears about money. Through this therapy, she was able to release these inherited beliefs and embrace a healthier relationship with money, which she describes as nourishing and supportive. Throughout the episode, we discussed the challenges many people face when receiving love and abundance. Hanna shared her insights on how societal conditioning often leads us to feel unworthy of receiving, and she provided practical tips for overcoming this barrier. One key takeaway was the importance of using "receiving language"—a simple yet effective way to practice gratitude and acceptance in our daily lives.

786 | Celebrating Seven Years: Reflections on My Book Journey
In this episode, I reflect on the whirlwind of November and the profound journey I've experienced over the past seven years since the release of my book, "When She Stopped Asking Why." As we approach the end of 2024, I find myself in a space of both humility and challenge, grappling with personal issues that have led me to moments of burnout. Despite these struggles, I take a moment to celebrate the anniversary of my book, recognizing the growth and changes I've undergone since its release. I dive into the essence of my book, which emerged from a desire to shift my perspective on my life experiences. The title itself encapsulates a pivotal moment in my journey—moving away from victimhood and embracing the lessons learned from my past. I share the backstory of writing the book during a tumultuous time, emphasizing that it was more than just a project; it was a means of processing my emotions and experiences. Throughout the episode, I discuss the challenges of becoming an author, the pressure I placed on myself, and the healing that unfolded as I shared my story. I highlight the importance of vulnerability in writing and the necessity of overcoming the fear of judgment from others. I encourage listeners to recognize that their stories matter and can significantly impact others who may be struggling with similar challenges. As I reflect on my journey, I acknowledge the mistakes made along the way, including the editing process that revealed errors even at the last minute. However, I emphasize that perfection is not the goal; it's about sharing our authentic selves and the lessons we've learned. I invite listeners to celebrate their past selves and the growth they've achieved, even amidst ongoing challenges. Looking ahead, I express my excitement for the future and the work I am doing to help others share their stories. I announce an upcoming audio-based program that will guide aspiring authors through the process of writing and publishing their books, aiming to demystify the journey and empower them to embrace their voices.

In this episode, I dive into the transformative power of changing our perspectives, particularly through the lens of Neurolinguistic Programming (NLP). I share a realization I had recently: without altering our perspective, we cannot see our stories or circumstances in a new light. This episode is dedicated to exploring how shifting our viewpoint can unlock new opportunities for growth, healing, and self-discovery. I begin by discussing the essence of NLP, which is fundamentally about understanding our mind's patterns and recognizing our blind spots. Our subconscious mind often operates on autopilot, replaying past experiences and limiting beliefs that keep us stuck in a comfort zone, even if that zone is uncomfortable. I emphasize the importance of reprogramming our inner narrative to change how we perceive our experiences and, ultimately, our reality. One of the key techniques I introduce is subconscious timeline work. I explain how our subconscious does not recognize time, which means we can revisit past experiences and reframe them to create a more empowering narrative. By visualizing our future as if it has already happened, we can familiarize our subconscious with success and reduce the fear associated with pursuing new opportunities. I also introduce the concept of perceptual positions, using the metaphor of watching a movie. By changing our viewpoint—whether as an observer in a theatre or as a distant camera operator—we can detach from the emotional intensity of our experiences. This shift allows us to gain insights and empathy, reducing stress and opening up new solutions that were previously hidden by our emotional responses. Additionally, I discuss the technique of reframing, which involves changing the frame around our experiences to see them from a different angle. This simple yet powerful tool can transform obstacles into stepping stones, helping us to let go of limiting beliefs and embrace endless possibilities. If you are ready to learn these tools, techniques and methods for changing your beliefs, thoughts and stories, I invite you into the OUTSPOKEN NLP Coaching Certification.

782 | The Heartbeat of My Business - Masculine Structure for Feminine Flow
In 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.

In this episode, I had the pleasure of welcoming Avalon Moans, a talented photographer specializing in helping female small business owners become the confident face of their brands. Our conversation began with a nostalgic reflection on our first meeting at a networking event, where I encouraged Avalon to share her story and record it. This moment marked a significant turning point for her, as it helped her gain confidence in articulating her message. Avalon shared her transformative journey, highlighting how stepping out of her comfort zone by volunteering at networking events opened doors to a supportive community of entrepreneurs. We discussed the importance of building connections and how offering services for free can lead to invaluable experiences and relationships. Avalon emphasized that trusting your intuition, even when others advise against it, can lead to incredible opportunities. As we delved deeper into Avalon's work, she explained her unique approach to photography, which goes beyond aesthetics. She focuses on helping her clients embody their future selves through intentional and powerful imagery. Avalon believes that photography can serve as a manifestation tool, allowing clients to visualize and step into the business owners they aspire to be. We also touched on Avalon's personal growth, discussing her past struggles with anxiety and self-doubt. She shared a poignant story about overcoming her fear of driving on the highway, which ultimately led her to confront deeper beliefs about her self-worth and ability to care for herself. This revelation was a powerful reminder of the importance of addressing the root causes of our fears and limiting beliefs. As we wrapped up our conversation, Avalon expressed her vision for the future, including the desire to expand her photography business into a full-service brand agency. She aims to create workshops and spaces that foster community and support for fellow entrepreneurs. This episode is a heartfelt exploration of personal growth, the power of storytelling, and the transformative impact of stepping into one's authentic self.

780 | You Cannot Outthink How Your Body Feels
In this episode, I dive deep into the significance of our thoughts and how they shape our reality. I emphasize the importance of owning our thoughts and stories, explaining that they will own us if we don’t take control. I discuss the concept that we cannot outthink how our bodies feel, highlighting the disconnect many experiences between our conscious thoughts and subconscious emotions. I encourage listeners to recognize when fear or anxiety arises and to understand that these feelings are often rooted in past experiences and trapped emotions. Throughout the episode, I stress the necessity of tuning into our bodies to release these stuck emotions, which can hinder our ability to create change and connect with others. I share insights on maintaining a regulated nervous system, which is crucial for holding space for ourselves and others on stage or in everyday conversations. I also touch on my experiences as a speaker, illustrating how being in tune with my emotions allowed me to connect more authentically with my audience. I encourage listeners to find their own "stage" in daily interactions and to practice being present and empathetic in their conversations. Finally, I share a resource for listeners—a free audio subliminal and hypnosis guide designed to help connect with their higher selves below in the show notes.

779 | Handling Comments Like a Pro — Using the Power of Language to Respond with Confidence
In this quick Friday episode, I dive into the art of handling comments like a pro, whether they come from in-person interactions or the online world. I recount a recent experience with a client who was struggling with negative online comments. It became clear that she was internalizing these remarks, interpreting them as personal attacks, even when they weren't directed at her. I emphasize the importance of recognizing that comments often stem from the speaker's own perspective and experiences, not necessarily reflecting our worth or abilities. I outline several techniques for handling comments effectively: Reframe for Understanding; Neutral Acknowledgment; Clarifying Questions; and Pattern Interrupt: I stress the power of language in shaping our responses and maintaining our personal power. By mastering these techniques, we can navigate comments with confidence and ease, ensuring that we focus our energy on those who truly deserve our attention. I also highlight the differences between handling comments in person versus online, noting that people often feel emboldened to say things online that they wouldn't say face-to-face. I encourage listeners to set boundaries and protect their energy by blocking or deleting unconstructive comments. As I wrap up the episode, I stress the power of language in shaping our responses and maintaining our personal power. By mastering these techniques, we can navigate comments with confidence and ease, ensuring that we focus our energy on those who truly deserve our attention.

777 | From Burnout to Breakthrough: My Journey to Feminine Flow
In this episode, I dive deep into the transformative journey of balancing masculine and feminine energies, particularly in building a successful business. Reflecting on my past experiences, I share how I spent much of my life operating solely in masculine energy—characterized by grit, tenacity, and a relentless push for results. While these traits are undeniably important, I realized that they often led me to cycles of burnout and disconnection from my true self. I recount my recent experience as a keynote speaker at the High Vibe Summit, where I faced personal challenges just days before the event. Despite feeling overwhelmed, I was determined to connect with the 145 women in attendance through a group hypnosis session aimed at helping them step into their highest selves. This episode highlights the evolution of my speaking style—from a rigid, memorized approach to one that embraces flexibility and flow. A pivotal moment occurred just before I took the stage. I drew a card that read "forgiveness." This card resonated deeply with me, prompting an emotional release that allowed me to connect authentically with the audience. I discuss how this experience taught me the importance of being present and open to the unexpected rather than clinging to a strict plan. Throughout the episode, I explore the benefits and limitations of both masculine and feminine approaches. The masculine energy provides structure, clarity, and accountability, while the feminine energy fosters creativity, intuition, and connection. A successful business requires a harmonious blend of both energies, allowing growth and transformation. I also share how embracing my feminine energy has led to significant personal and professional growth, including a remarkable increase in my business success. By letting go of the need for control and anchoring into trust, I have opened myself up to new opportunities and deeper connections with my audience.

776 | What Do You Do When It Feels Like Nothing Is Working?
In this episode, I explore a topic that many of us can relate to: the feeling that despite our best efforts, nothing is working in our lives. I share insights from a recent conversation with a client, as well as my own experiences, to explore the question: What do you do when it feels like everything is happening but nothing is happening? I begin by encouraging listeners to clarify what they mean when they say, "Nothing is working." Is it a lack of progress or the absence of desired results? I emphasize the importance of specificity in our goals and definitions of success. Next, I discuss the significance of defining success on your own terms. I share my mantra that as my business grows, my relationships and health also thrive. This holistic view of success is essential for maintaining balance and fulfillment in life. I also touch on the concept of controlling the controllables. It’s easy to get overwhelmed by everything that seems to be going wrong, but we can regain a sense of agency and direction by identifying what we can control and focusing on those aspects.
