Own Your Choices Own Your Life

In this episode, I am sharing a concept in NLP 101 and it is to stop fighting for your limitations. Fighting for your limitations is a broken strategy, if you want transformation, fight for your potential. It is human nature to fight for your limitations, these are excuses we get to hold onto. Change can be scary. What if you can shift it to fight for your potential and your possibilities instead? When you fight for your limitations, you are keeping them alive. "You are today where your thoughts have brought you; you will be tomorrow where your thoughts take you." ~James Allen. In today's episode we discuss:1) Where can you replace or upgrade your language to remove the words of can't, shouldn't, just, etc. Your words are breathing life into your present day and your future reality. 2) Focus on the reasons why you can't change with why you can change. 3) How to stop using your past failures to prove future outcomes. Instead use your past successes to fight for your future possibilities. 4) Decide to be someone who can change. When you fight for your limitations, you are keeping them alive.

In this episode, I want to talk about this quote which is so common and is perceived to be negative in that when we are negative, negative things can happen, almost representing Karma. This is not the focus of our topics, it is let's focus on what we can create by what we put out there. Your mind is actually a garden and what seeds you are planting is what you will find, create and grow later. Don't judge each day by the harvest that you reap but by the seeds you plant. In today's episode we discuss:1) Your mind is like a garden and your thoughts are the seeds. You always get to choose what seeds you plant in it. You can plant seeds of positivity, love, abundance and compassion, or you can plant seeds of negativity, lack, fear and comparison. 2) You can also spend time planting and taking care of someone else's garden. Or you can work on making yours the best garden it could possibly be. 3) Now after we plant the garden we have to take care of it every single day, from picking weeds, to fertilizing it, to making space, giving it light, water, nutrients, and nurturing it on days when it's not under the best conditions. Those days and those conditions show us what we are made of.

In this episode we are speaking with Author/Speaker/Personal Development Coach, Clint Hatton. Clint is an author, motivational speaker, personal development and leadership coach, and the founder of BigBoldBrave based in Dallas, Texas. He has been coaching individuals and teams for over twenty years with a proven track record of helping people grow personally, achieve success, and build healthier marriages and relationships. Clint recently published his first book, Big Bold Brave: How to Live Courageously in a Risky World.It contains wisdom and strategies he's lived by to thrive despite his greatest personal loss. Topics include healthy mindsets, changing limiting beliefs, the power of collaboration, overcoming fear, making courageous decisions, and a commitment to health, fitness, and spiritual and emotional intelligence.In this episode we discuss: 1) How when facing a personal trauma, even in those dark moments we still have a choice in how we choose to show up, be seen and how we respond to life in those moments. This is never without pain, or numbing or avoiding the pain, it simply means that we can feel the pain of loss (not expecting it to disappear) and choose to respond in a way that can move us forward. 2) The power of finding gratitude even in the moments to shift and move us forward as well as the power of sharing our stories. This is an incredibly powerful episode and example of sharing a difficult story and using that pain to create a purpose and a solution for others. .

In this episode, I am leaning into vulnerability and sharing a program that is coming to Canada on March 17th, 2023 called the M.A.I.D. Program. It is called the Medically Assisted In Death program and it is to support end of life support for incurable diseases. As of March 17th this program will extend to include mental health conditions and include over the age of 18 years old without parental consent. This is a topic that needs to be talked about and shared far and wide. In this time during and post-pandemic, our resources for mental health are barely negligible and there's little tools or support available for our youth. I do not pretend to know the answers but I do know that if we don't talk about it, then we won't be able to spread this information and have these conversations. This program is not being talked about, it is currently in motion and becoming fully effective in March. If this topic speaks to you, or if you know a parent or a family member affected by this, please share this video. In today's episode we discuss:1) The government of Canada website discussing the M.A.I.D.

In this episode, I am leaning into the tools of vulnerability and bringing myself back to the power of vulnerability. You deserve to live your life outspoken, to lean into vulnerability, take up space and allow yourself to be seen and heard. To be a great speaker is more than finding your voice, it is to allow yourself to connect with your audience, develop confidence, composure and understanding human behaviour and all of these things you can't do with others if you can't coach yourself through the ego, fear based thoughts, self sabotage and limiting beliefs. In today's episode we discuss:1) I have been coaching myself these last few months more than most people can see and I want to be fully transparent and honest with you. You can go through challenges and still grow and build your business, while finding your own way to be authentic and share what you feel with your audience. 2) We are our first client, and we have to do the work, recognize our self-sabotaging behaviours, limiting beliefs, and fear that continues to show up.

In this episode, I am celebrating that this podcast idea that started 5+ years ago, is releasing episode #500. 3 years ago we celebrated episode #101. I want to share some thoughts, celebrations, and what is coming up for this podcast and where it is going in the future. I know and believe that the last 2 years, especially all the work I have done in NLP has allowed me to own my voice, trust it, build confidence in it, and connect on a deeper level with my guests and you, the audience. In today's episode we discuss:1) Recently I experienced a closing ceremony experience, I have done this a number of times, and I found myself saying goodbye to who I am and who I have been. No resentment or frustration, just recognizing that it has been a birth, death and rebirth experience. I am currently stepping into a new role and a new version of myself and that comes with a ton of discomfort. 2) So many incredible guests, I am afraid of leaving anyone out. I have learned from these guests the power of vulnerability, courage, sharing our stories and how to think bigger and make a bigger impact. Including finding episode #1 that I went back and listened to and had a moment of ah-ha and celebrations for starting this journey. 3) Where is this podcast going? We are building a community where there are multiple options to join us. Stay tuned for all the information.

In this episode we are speaking with HR Director/Management, Kim Hamer. On April 16, 2009, Kim watched her 44-yr-old husband take his last breath. During his illness and after his death, she was amazed by the helpful ways their coworkers, bosses, friends, and family supported them. Kim started calling their kind actions "acts of love". After the death of her husband, Kim, an HR leader, noticed how little guidance leaders received when navigating cancer, health crises, or death on their team. She knew their lack of knowledge negatively affected morale, employee engagement, and productivity. She set out to change that. Combining her personal experience with her professional knowledge and leadership skills, Kim launched her business to support leaders and coworkers when cancer (or any health crisis) affects a team member. Kim Hamer is the author of 100 Acts of Love: A Girlfriend's Guide to Loving Your Friend through Cancer or Loss, an easy-to-read book filled with 100 practical, quick, and effective ways to support a friend or coworker. She's also an HR leader and speaker who lives in Los Angeles where she tries not to bother her relatively well-behaved college-aged children.In this episode we discuss: 1) Kim's story, how her family navigated the loss of her husband and how she recognized there was very little support in the workplace for families experiencing a loss, as well as helping HR and companies with how they can support these families. 2) Kim's story inspired her to write and release, 100 Acts of Love, as well as resources of What Not to Say, this is inspired to support people in how to help others through the grieving process.

In this episode, we are diving into the power of your thoughts. Yes I am talking a lot about this lately and it does coincide with the power of NLP. NLP is neuro-linguistic programming and it is the study of how the mind works. Your thoughts create a frequency and that frequency creates an emotion, which determines how you feel and those emotions lead you to take or not take your next action steps. NLP closes the gap between what your goals and your limiting beliefs In today's episode we discuss: 1) Looking at the gap between where you are now and where your goal is. The objective is to call out the limiting beliefs, learn how to re-write those limiting beliefs by repetitively being conscious of your unconscious thoughts that are not serving you. How your personality is not a reality, it is simply made up from the thoughts, beliefs and decisions you make on a daily basis. 2) Give yourself time to sit in the energy and emotions of this goal as though it is real today, as though you are a magnet bringing that vision closer to you. In our brain, beta waves alertness, concentration and thinking, alpha waves are meditation, creativity and relaxation and theta waves are all about visualization, trance and dreaming. Theta waves happen when you get beyond yourself. 3) Focus and feel gratitude for the experience as though your goal has already happened. Make it real by looking at what you see, what you feel and what you hear so that you can bring it to life.

In this episode, I am sharing a concept that I recently heard on a podcast about the meaning of unqualified and inexperienced. It made me go down a rabbit hole to look at what we make our inexperience mean, and how we decide that inexperienced means that we are not qualified. In today's episode we discuss:1) We will always be inexperienced when we start something new. How can we possibly have any experience without doing the thing? 2) There are people far less qualified than you doing the things you say you want to do simply because they believe in themselves. That belief in themselves allows them to start, to get into action, to take that first step and to become more qualified. 3) Who is setting your definition of qualified? What does it mean to be qualified? Do you think that being qualified means that you are done learning? Where are you mistaking your inexperience with not being qualified? 4) This quote by Simon Sinek, "for whatever reason, most of us don't think we can achieve something beyond what we're qualified to achieve." So if what we believe we are qualified is the ceiling we create for ourselves, then wouldn't it be good to lift that ceiling and see that we are more than qualified for the things we desire and the inexperience we are judging in ourselves, is because we haven't started yet.

In this episode, I want to share some about starting the new year and setting yourself up for success and ultimately overcoming the excuse of feeling like you are too late In today's episode we discuss: 1) The timeline you are creating is made up in your head. What if you are right on time? What if all the experience you have been gaining was required for what you're here to do? What if you couldn't do it without that experience? 2) Your identity is not set in stone. Not sure if this is amplified because of social media and seeing people's highlight reels, but we are meant to grow, evolve and change. The days of being in one job for the rest of your life, is definitely not the norm, and if someone is projecting that onto you, it is their story, it doesn't have to be yours. You have limitless potential for growth and change, so celebrate it and dream bigger. 3) One of the reasons we don't go after big dreams and ideas is because they're so big. How can you chunk it down to make it easier to digest and see the action steps you have to take? 4) Will you regret it on your deathbed? This is always a question I come back to is will I regret this if I don't try?

In this episode, I want to share some about starting the new year and setting yourself up for success. In today's episode we discuss: 1) What are 1-3 things you know that you are leaving behind this year? For me it is people pleasing, wavering in my boundaries, and not putting my self care first. 2) Get clear on why you want to leave it behind, what purpose it was serving and maybe by leaving it behind you are actually one step closer to the goals you desire. 3) What if you could trust yourself even more? What is if you could focus on the bigger picture, on where you are going and not on what didn't work last year. Everything is teaching us something, it is up to us to decide what the meaning of it is. 4) What habits will support you in making this change, anchor it in every single day, ask for accountability and lean into a sense of knowing that you are capable of bringing it all to life.

In this episode I am speaking with Professional Speaker & Author, Erick Rheam. Erick has been training and publicly speaking for 22 years. He's delivered hundreds of presentations to military officers in the U.S. Army, athletes, high school students, business leaders, and public officials. Erick has a long and rich utility background for over two decades. He served as Director of Education for an international public speaking training firm and now personally trains professional athletes, celebrities, executives, and professional speakers on the art of communication. A published author and graduate of the United States Military Academy, Erick, travels the country and speaks to organizations and associations on human dynamics and achieving significance. Erick's mission is to motivate high achievers to live life beyond excellence and to dig deeper into the human experience so that his audience will become inspired to pursue significance. When he's not speaking, he's at home enjoying life in Southern Indiana with his amazing wife, Alia, his three young children and trusty companion, his Labrador Retriever, Stella and his new Doberman, Oynx.In this episode we discuss: 1) The premise for Erick's book, Rise Above Chaos, how hitting rock bottom was the catalyst for him, and how he articulates and identifies with "the Beast" that we all face and how it can learn to not let the beast dictate and control our lives. 2) Identifying our significance, and how this comes as the intersection of our passions (what we are willing to suffer for) and our superpowers, the gifts that we don't see the power of because they come easy to us. 3) The 7 different elements to insulate us from the beast having control in our daily lives.

In this episode, I want to share some steps to help you create change in this New Year of 2023, and it can all start with changing one story at a time. In today's episode we discuss: 1) What is one story that is no longer serving you? It starts with becoming brutally honest with yourself, not applying shame, judgment, criticism or frustration, simply straightforward honesty. 2) What is the root of that story? When did you start to tell yourself that? Is it true? I am sharing a TIME Techniques method that I use with clients and on myself, and I know this is not the easiest way to do this exercise, and it will still be very beneficial for you. 3) What are the lessons your subconscious mind wants you to learn from that experience? How can you take those learnings and apply them to other situations that are similar and on repeat? 4) What habits will support you in making this change, anchor it in every single day, and then lean into the next story.

In this episode, I am sharing my experience with scriptwriting as a part of the extended work of affirmations. It's not as simple as standing and speaking affirmations. It is about changing your thoughts from the level of your subconscious mind. These are the steps I use to write a script for my brain to focus on where it is going. Your conscious mind creates the goals, and your subconscious mind is the one that will prevent you from reaching those goals. This is the home of all of your limiting thoughts, beliefs, and mindset. In today's episode we discuss: 1) Start with your gratitudes for where you are today and what your key values are and what you want to change. 2) Pick a timeline to focus on and write your intentions for how you want it to unfold, and speak it into existence as though it is your reality. 3) Writing, re-writing, speaking it out loud, or recording the script in your phone to listen to regularly to help embed those goals/visions into your subconscious mind.

After burning out in 2018 while being a primary caregiver for her mom, and with a career in healthcare Lindsay learned the hard way about the importance of needing to put herself first. Once Lindsay began to prioritize her wellness she lost over 100lbs, her mental health improved and she began down her road of entrepreneurship. Now Lindsay uses her experience to help women reach their full potential. In this episode we discuss:1) Lindsay's journey with putting her physical health first, her path to wellness and how this improved her own mental health. 2) The role of primary caregivers and how that can be more challenging and is rarely discussed openly. This is an important conversation especially in this era of so many people being in this sandwich conversation of caring for our children and our parents.

In this episode, I am sharing my experience, lessons learned and experiences with the tough word called "boundaries". Especially coming into the Christmas season, this is the time where boundaries are so important, necessary and truly a sign of self-respect. So here is another episode on boundaries and I know that it will serve you. Personally I have learned so much more about boundaries this year and I know this year as my identity has shifted in my business, my boundaries have had to rise at the same level. In this episode we discuss: 1) Years ago, I didn't even know what a boundary was or how to even create one. Every time a counselor mentioned the word it felt impossible and selfish for me to have boundaries in my life. Little did I know that understanding, learning, and creating boundaries would literally save my life. I knew I had to share this with my clients and surprisingly very few people understood boundaries. 2) Boundaries start with clarity about where you are feeling some anxiety in your life. Ask yourself what is missing, where you are feeling anxiety and what you know is missing. You know the answers. 3) Boundaries start with our values, and clarity on our values makes it easier for all the yes' and no's you will follow through with in your life and business. Once you have determined your values, take a look in your life to see where you can raise your standards, not your expectations. Raising your standards allows you to plan out your life accordingly to set yourself up for success. If you want a deeper understanding of standards and expectations, listen the Episode #122 Raise Your Standards Not Your Expectations, https://apple.co/32c6zaG 4) Boundaries are a moving line, like a bubble. Not a hard line in the sand with no negotiating and also recognizing that this changes every single day. If you find that your self-care practices are low, your stress is high, I guarantee your boundaries will be the next thing affected. Catch this before it happens and unravels.

In this episode, I want to talk about doubt. Doubt is simply defined as a feeling of uncertainty or lack of conviction. In this episode, we discuss: 1) Why do we experience doubt? It surfaces when we are growing and pushing our limits and comfort zone. We have motivational values and threshold values. Doubt may encourage us to gain more understanding - that would be positive. Remaining always in doubt is a negative state of mind! Doubt may be from ignorance and a reason to simply deny what we do not understand - that would be negative as well. 2) What is your first reaction when doubt shows up? How do you respond? What do you make it mean about what you are doing or about you? Doubt can stem from negative experiences, words we have heard or feeling like you're an imposter – especially when you are pushing the boundaries of your threshold. 3) There is Identity Doubt and Idea Doubt. Identity Doubt. Identity Doubt is when we doubt our abilities, character and personality. Idea Doubt is when we question an idea we had. Idea Doubt can often show up dressed as Identity Doubt and that's why it's so easy to confuse the two! 4) What is the doubt doing to your body on the inside when it shows up? The amygdala triggers the flow of stress hormones in a similar fashion as if you were being chased by a tiger. In addition, the basal ganglia which is responsible for regulating habits, gets activated as you consistently respond by acting (or not acting) on your intentions. The answer…MOVE. Take one action step to move you forward and celebrate that you are human!

In this episode I am speaking with Coach, fighter pilot instructor, author, Dominic Teich. Goal oriented individuals get frustrated because of setbacks and limited time to learn the right path. Since fighter pilots are trained to make split decisions at 800+ miles per hour I created the largest online group of fighter pilots to guide action takers in short, impactful steps, so that they can control their own success and avoid the wrong path to failure. Dom "Slice" Teich brings his fighter pilot background and applies them to guide pilots, athletes, business owners, and students with afterburner techniques that American fighter pilots use to ensure mission completion. As an Amazon best-selling author, business owner, entrepreneur, civilian and military instructor pilot, he knows that busy individuals and teams struggle with information overload. In this episode we discuss: 1) The concept of a trash can and how we spend our lives stuffing everything into a trash can (our emotions, feelings, stories, challenges) and eventually the trash can isn't big enough and we have to add dumpster after dumpster until our body decides that it's enough and it starts to shut down until we choose to do the work to unpack and start the healing process. 2) How we all have to create and own our own definition of success and underneath that definition of success is the meaning or significance of success and this typically requires us to think outside of ourselves and follow a purposeful mission that can impact others. 3) How we as humans can learn to embrace some of the lessons of a fighter pilot and trust ourselves to make faster decisions. We tend to think and overthink before making decisions and that never moves things forward for us, plus it wastes our energy and our time.

In this episode, I want to talk about our stagnation, expectations, and judging this feeling of being stuck. This idea came up after seeing this funny reel online and there is so much truth to it. So what do you do when you feel stuck or stagnation? Here are a few thoughts. In this episode, we discuss: 1) We never move as fast as we think, it never happens in the way we think it should and we can spend so much time judging ourselves and resenting that we are not there yet. There is this period of stagnation where it feels like you are stuck in mud and not moving forward or back, like nothing is happening, almost like a cruise control. In this space, "it looks good enough, but there's a discernment between complacency and contentment. 2) Contentment is like unconscious cruise control, it all looks good enough. This is a period of deep observation, listening, asking questions, getting curious and maybe it's a rest time. Viscerally you still feel in this time, you might be burnt out, you might need rest, ask what you need and follow through. 3) Complacency can be a period of time where you aren't being challenged, you aren't growing, you are very "comfortable" even though it is uncomfortable. This is a different form of cruise control. Surround yourself with others who can see what you can't. People who see our blind spots. You feel stuck, or stagnant, and definitely not motivated. When a mentor asked what parts of my business felt easy, and at that time a lot of it did, that is not always a good sign! Focus on what your inputs are, what are you listening to, watching, your distractions etc. 4) Stagnation is a state of not flowing or moving, no new growth or change, there's a block, a lack of activity, growth or development. You may be asked to be in this stage right now even though it doesn't make sense. Ask what you are being asked to learn right now, get curious. And when all else fails let gratitude move you, it moves you because it is the highest vibration possible and it helps you to draw attention to all that you do have in your life and what you have created. That is the energy that can move you forward. Don't judge the stage you are in, honour it and let gratitude move you forward.

In this episode, I want to talk about our thoughts and how they are creating and solidifying our beliefs. In this episode, we discuss: 1) One of the first premises of NLP is understanding that we are being exposed to 2.3 million bytes of information every single day, and with all of that information that is bombarding our system, we create filters to delete, distort or generalize the information and that becomes our internal representation of what we see. 2) Your thoughts, if you think them over and over, and assign truth to them, become beliefs. Beliefs create a cognitive lens through which you interpret the events of your world and this lens serves as a selective filter through which you sift the environment for evidence that matches up with what you believe to be true 3) The difference between thoughts and beliefs is that you may have thousands of thoughts going through your mind but none of them give birth to any power except those that are beliefs. A belief is information that you understand as truth or knowledge and it can control your life and actually impact your actions.4) The thoughts that we continue to have every single day, we are feeding them. We are feeding the thoughts of where we are going or where we have been. We get to decide which wolf survives, and it always comes down to the one that we are feeding.

In this episode, we are speaking with Keynote Speaker, Phil Barth. In August 2015 Phil suffered what the doctor called a "small" heart attack. Following his recovery Phil started a daily gratitude practice on social media. He listed a few of the small great things that happened in his life each day. The practice has gone on for over six years now. In 2018 Phil took what he had learned and wrote the International best SORT OF selling book "Great Things Happen Every Day" – a book about stress management, recovery from a heart attack, banana milkshakes and rummage sales. He delivers keynote speeches on the topic of stress management as well.In this episode we discuss:1) How to avoid the stress trap that we easily fall into. Phil explains what his body went through before his heart attack, and some of the signs of stress we experience and how we can easily become stress junkies and actually be addicted to the adrenaline and cortisol rush. 2) How gratitude, mindset shift, and regular daily commitment and practice can drastically change how you manage stress every day in your life. 3) Phil shares so many stories with a sense of humour and brings a lightness to such a challenging topic that deserves more air time and conversation.

In this episode, I want to share some thoughts on what happens when we try to skip over parts of our healing, our feelings and how we subconsciously cannot push through these pieces no matter how hard we try. This is in alignment with one of the processes we use in the NLP Breakthrough Day Experience, where we use TIME Techniques to release emotions that we are holding onto in the order of anger, sadness, fear, hurt, shame/guilt. It brought up the conversation that we spend most of our lives holding onto or trying to skip past our emotions. In this episode, we discuss: 1) When you skip over, push past or hide your true feelings, you subconsciously are telling yourself that they don't matter. If your thoughts don't matter then subconsciously you are telling yourself that you don't matter. That will never change them. 2) Interrupt the loop, call yourself out, use a saying or a mantra, and then ask yourself what you are here to feel. Then FEEL it, no matter how messy it is. 3) Recognize that your emotions are simply data. They don't mean anything unless you make them mean something. They are giving you information and you can decide what to do with them and how you respond.

In this episode, I have a couple of different perspective shifts when it comes to visualizing your goals and bringing your visions to life. This episode was inspired by Mel Robbins and one of her podcast episodes and it really hit home when I recognized that I spend more time visualizing the "end game or end product" instead of visualizing the mistakes, the challenges and getting up from them and moving forward. In this episode, we discuss: 1) How can you visualize and focus on the things that don't go perfectly in the pursuit of your goals and still find the mindset to stay on track? 2) Where can you recognize your own patterns of self sabotage and see how to catch it earlier and put a plan into action? 3) Where can you have fun with this process, instead of focusing on perfection, focusing on all the surprising ways that your vision can come to life?

In this episode, we are speaking with Retired Colour Sergeant, Tim Heale. Having spent most of his adult life under the Colours in the British Army from being an infantry soldier to being an experienced PSYOPS Operator on 7 operational deployments has given Tim some awesome opportunities. Tim played a lot of rugby and his position was scrum half, the ski telemark and completed several times at the British Telemark Championships. He was a Hang Gliding Instructor, he played American Football for Milton Keynes Pioneers. He was a reasonably experienced offshore sailor and owned 3 boats, sailed around the UK with just his wife and Artie the Ship's cat. He spent the last 8 years in the Army as a Unit Welfare Officer for London Central Garrison and took part in all the Ceremonial duties in London during that time. Nowadays I'm retired and spend my time Podcasting and Vlogging, and on the committees of the Portsmouth & Gosport History Group and Hornet Services Sailing Club. Tim is the host of the Ordinary People's Extraordinary Stories. In this episode we discuss:1) The power of storytelling, sharing our stories, leaving our stories when we are no longer here. How Tim started his podcast during the pandemic and started sharing his stories and got curious about interviewing others to share their stories. 2) Tim openly invites conversations on his podcast and on his weekly show, and continues to dive into topics that most people have questions on, would love to learn and relate with others, yet these are the topics we rarely speak about. 3) Tim has so many stories that he shares throughout the episode, including stories that build resilience, character and stories that will have you laughing and reminiscing about past memories.

In this episode, I have a question for you to ask yourself. Are you waiting for everything to be perfect, to be lined up perfectly until you decide to stand in your light? Are you waiting to release the podcast, do the live, share your story, write the chapter, the book, speak from stage, or launch your program when it is done and perfect? That is never going to happen and you will be waiting a long time before you can release it. More importantly you are missing incredible opportunities, people and experiences because they won't see you for who you truly are. In this episode, we discuss: 1) Who do you connect with, relate to, learn from? Do you resonate and relate to them because they are perfect or because they are real? 2) Shine in your imperfections, in your pieces of fear of judgment and show others you are human. Call out your fears first, I did this years ago when I was sharing my own vulnerable story in a book. 3) Where is one place you can challenge yourself to shine before you are ready? Can you show up on a video without being ready, can you put the post out without checking it 198 times? When you step forward you learn, you might have a misstep but it isn't a failure, failure is an event it is not a person or an identity. Stand in your own light, and shine a light on everything that is not perfect, that is what will make you the most relatable.

In this episode, I am sharing a quote I heard Tony Robbins say and it made me stop and really reflect on the word problems. "Every problem is a gift and without problems we would not grow and if we're not growing we are not living" ~ Tony Robbins. In this episode, we discuss: 1) There are problems which I would rather call obstacles, challenges, and difficulties. When you are stuck IN your problems it's really hard to find your way out. Staying stuck in your problems, I visualize being trapped under them and that is when we give the word problems power over us. When you are able to gain perspective, you will see what you are there to learn or how you can grow through your challenges. 2) Our problems become the impetus to grow. Most of us don't simply grow on our own, except in the areas where we have passion. But our problems come from all different aspects of our lives, because we are meant to grow in all areas of our lives. 3) With this mindset we are forced to adapt, to grow, to change, in order to meet these new challenges. That takes some strength, and a willingness to face the issue and resolve it. We learn more about ourselves in these times of challenges than we do when things are easy. We also don't step up in our lives when we are in that comfort zone and things are "easy". Without the challenges would we actually grow?

In this episode, I am sharing some thoughts and reminders that just because you have a thought doesn't mean you have to accept it as a fact. When your thoughts pop up, consciously challenge the thoughts and try these few steps to actually change the thought instead of "believing" the thoughts that are not serving you. In this episode, we discuss: 1) When it is a thought that doesn't serve you or the direction you are moving towards, consciously ask yourself if it is true, is it something you want to believe and when did this thought first arise? Get curious, ask yourself where did it come from, is it serving you, did this person who might have said it say it from their own subconscious beliefs and do you align with them as a person? 2) Almost all of our limiting beliefs come from our deep rooted subconscious beliefs that were all created before the age of 8 years old. To change this belief you have to address it with your conscious mind, 5% of your mind and it requires work and repetition. Consciously re-write the moment, the experience and you can create a new belief that is in alignment with the direction you want to move into. The more you do this the more familiar it will become. 3) You can change that belief from a vibration of comparison, lack, judgement to a new empowering belief of the direction you are moving towards.

Brenden is the founder of MasterTalk, he coaches ambitious executives & entrepreneurs to become top 1% communicators in their industry. He also has a popular YouTube channel called MasterTalk, with the goal of providing free access to communication tools for everyone in the world.In this episode we discuss:1) Why it is so important that we learn to communicate, speak and master our skills no matter what profession or field we are in. 2) One question to keep asking ourselves is if we are making our purpose a priority? It will never just happen. It requires belief in ourselves, discipline, commitment, practice and honing in on our skills every single day. 3) How all change begins at the identity level and once we see and believe that identity is ours, we then practice the habits that identity would embody every single day.

In this episode, I am sharing thoughts on how mentors can teach you how to collapse time. I have been in the role of being a lifelong student for years, and I recently experienced a Breakthrough Day as a Master NLP Practitioner and it had me reflecting on this journey. In this episode, we discuss: 1) We all have a personal and business vision of who we are and where we want to be, but getting there on our own, with all life's distractions, commitments, psychological baggage, perceived limitations and roadblocks, can block our momentum. Our brain, limiting thoughts and beliefs are not our friend and can stop us in our tracks. 2) A great coach or mentor, especially one who has been in your shoes before, and then upsized. For a good coach to be a good fit for you, they must have had actual experience in what you want to achieve, and they must have done what you want before, in their own lives. They are an expert because they have shared their experiences and it is relatable to you and where you're at. 3) The only way they can truly collapse time is if you choose to integrate, apply the learnings and embody the lessons. Plus your network becomes your net worth. Get in the rooms and allow yourself to immerse and learn what you are meant to learn. It's accountability at its finest.

In this episode, I am sharing a quick question I regularly ask myself and reflect on especially when I feel stuck in a situation. No one likes to feel stuck yet for some of us that is almost a home base, the familiar space we continually fall back towards even though it might not be what we want. Asking intentional questions like this can shift your mindset from lack or victim mindset to possibility. In this episode, we discuss: 1) Everything is teaching us something, we decide what we want to look for and see the lessons we want to see. Not all lessons are fun, and most likely the ones that kick us hard are teaching us the biggest lessons2) When I am hitting a wall, I stop and ask "what am I here to learn?" That question has become a powerful shift in my life, especially when I feel stuck, which I never truly am, it is just a moment of being stuck in my mind. 3) There doesn't always have to be a profound lesson or reason for your challenges so don't get stuck on that piece, and sometimes we don't ever learn the lessons until much later down the road.

In this episode, I am sharing thoughts on allowing your role and your business to evolve and change. Change can be scary and it's important to remember that change is the only constant that occurs in our lives. We always get to choose how we respond. This idea came from a podcast with Tom Bilyeu and Vishen, founder of MindValley Beliefs on the Impact Theory Podcast. We are all allowed to evolve and change in our lives and our business and the resistance of it is what can keep ourselves stuck even longer than necessary. In this episode, we discuss: 1) Vishen the founder of MindValley Beliefs that leads to a habit, the belief that the number one thing in your life is your rate of growth. He referred to the acronym R.O.S.E. The Rate of Self Evolution. Your quest in life is to grow and grow. If growth becomes your belief then all of your habits that move towards growth will also increase. Do you make time to meditate, exercise, read, listen to podcasts, journal, or anything that improves yourself or helps you grow? 2) The other piece is that we are meant to change, it's a fact in our life and business. It is our opportunity to stay relevant, innovative, competitive and in a state of joy loving what we are doing! I have moved from podcaster, author, speaker, coach, business coach and am currently making the move to trainer. Your needs change, your family and your season of life changes and your clients needs change too. 3) Evolving is critical to our success. In acknowledging that it's not a change, but an evolution, enables us to allow for growth through trial and error.

In this episode, I want to talk about boundaries but especially when you need a boundary for yourself from yourself. The process of self-sabotage is real, and learning how to recognize what ways you are not supporting yourself, or where you might be self-sabotaging yourself is an important place to start. In this episode, we discuss: 1) Boundaries start with our values, and clarity on our values makes it easier for all the yes' and no's you will follow through with in your life and business. 2) Boundaries are a moving line, like a bubble. Not a hard line in the sand with no negotiating and also recognizing that this changes every single day. If you find that your self-care practices are low, your stress is high, I guarantee your boundaries will be the next thing affected. 3) What boundaries do you need for yourself, from yourself? We all have an area of our lives where we are not our best cheerleaders, or supporters.

In this episode I am speaking with Author and Speaker D. Neil Elliott. Neil lives in a peaceful historic village on the West Coast of British Columbia with his wife and a house full of art, books, and plants. He names all his plants—his favorite is a tall and lean Yucca called Rogelio. Neil has three children and five grandchildren, all of whom, of course, are brilliant. He loves ALL wildlife, and domestic pets too. In his twenties, he raised a variety of parrots and Labrador dogs. Neil has a passion for motorcycling and loves to travel, particularly in Europe, to visit museums, churches, and art galleries. He likes to visit cities and enjoy all they have to offer, but prefers a peaceful country life close to water, forests, and plenty of wildlife.In this episode we discuss: 1) The seven steps to the evolution of a soul, the relationship of our ego and soul and how true ascension begins when we gain control of our soul. 2) Neil's story as he moved from planning his suicide and writing a letter, to having a spiritual awakening, writing and releasing his book, and now sharing his message with the world. A lot can change in a relatively short period of time when we stay open and commit to doing the work and receiving the messages meant for us. 3) The lessons of suffering that we all experience are where we can find our gifts that we are meant to step into and share with the world. Life is journey that always begins from within.

In this episode, I am sharing a quick episode gratitudes, how they can shift your state, your emotions and how it comes down to feeling them, not just thinking about them. In this episode we discuss: 1) Do you focus on what is missing or what you appreciate in your life? Do you focus on what you can or can't control? Do you focus on the past, the present or the future? 2) I share the combination of these that can create the feelings of depression, anger, frustration, anxiety, worry, fear, and up to appreciation and gratitude. 3) Feeling the emotions in our body is one way to create a shift and change in anchoring in those gratitudes, allowing yourself to feel them, for them to become familiar and it becomes a way to create more of this in your life.

In this episode, I want to talk to you about what is in your backpack. What are you choosing to carry every single day, how long are you carrying it for and how is it affecting you? In this episode, we discuss: 1) We tend to carry so many emotions, feelings and energy that are not serving us. Holding onto these emotions weigh us down and block us from the things that are ours to carry. This affects our energy and energy is the number one resource we all have to make a change in our lives. This includes what would be considered our mistakes. 2) This concept also relates to when we think, overthink and don't make a decision on something because we overthink and are over analytical on things that we know are a no. No decision is a decision. 3) Get used to checking in regularly, daily or weekly and look at what you are carrying that isn't yours. This requires letting go and not owning it, and yes it takes practice, but once you let it go you will find how much easier it is and how much better it feels to let it go.

In this episode I am speaking with Life coach, Entrepreneur and Inspirational Speaker, Michael Brovac. Michael is a certified holistic life coach from Hamilton Ontario Canada. He specializes in helping individuals accomplish and achieve set out goals with the objective of becoming full filled within their own life. He spent 18 years within a hospital and has now taken that knowledge into coaching individuals struggling with similar challenges he once struggled with. In this episode we discuss: 1) Michael's story, what he experienced from spending years in the hospital, losing his brother to the same disease, and being in the state of planning his suicide to completely changing his life over the last 4 years and now finding his purpose, passion and mission in life. 2) The steps that Michael went through to change his beliefs, change his mindset and how this led to creating physical and physiological changes in his body outside of only improvements in his health. It truly shows the power of our thoughts and subconscious programming. 3) The power of community and how it completely reshaped his mindset and beliefs to what is possible. He has allowed himself to be completely surrounded by and receive the support that is available for him, and he will continue to pay it forward in his mentoring, coaching and continuing to raise funds and support kids in the hospital through the foundation CAM-O, named after his late brother, Cameron.

In this episode, I am sharing a personal experience, story and revelation from attending my NLP Master Practitioner immersion. If you are a person who strives to be positive, and share and shift into a positive perspective immediately when things go wrong or are challenging, this episode is for you. In this episode, we discuss: 1) What do you do or how do you respond when you are challenged? What are your go to words, phrases or responses? What happens when you repeat this experience over and over? 2) It doesn't always have to be good. What is the underlying story you are repressing and how is pushing that down actually hurting you? 3) Get to the root of the problem, call yourself out on your own excuses or methods and replace it with a process that supports you in the most healing way possible.

In this episode, I want to share a couple of quick lies, misconceptions or truths about motivation. We spend time waiting to be motivated or inspired and this is a slippery slope that is likely going nowhere or completely backwards. In this episode, we discuss: 1) Motivation is a byproduct and a result of doing an action that makes you feel motivated. It never just happens and it isn't something that you have and someone else doesn't. 2) Motivation is unreliable because it's based on so many factors that we can't always know for sure. One day, you might be feeling extremely motivated. The next day you want to lay in bed all day for no good reason. Motivation is often also based on our energy levels which change from time to time, day by day. 3) Motivation never lasts, it is not how you feel that will determine your result, it is what you do.

In this episode, we are speaking with Neuropsychologist, Dr. Julia DiGangi. Dr. DiGangi is a neuropsychologist who shows you how to expand the power of your nervous system to hold more emotional voltage. As a brain scientist, Dr. Julia knows that your nervous system is your portal to power. She will show you how to take the pain in your life--your stress, your struggle and your suffering--and transform it into your power. Dr. Julia brings tremendous expertise and decades of applied experience serving leaders at the highest levels of power, including The White House, top leadership at global companies, and Special Forces. Having worked with leaders who've endured some of the highest-stakes, highest-stress situations on the planet, Dr. Julia will show you what it takes to unlock new dimensions of your emotional power as you face defining challenges in your own life. In this episode we discuss:1) Where pain originates and how it starts as soon as we abandon who we are, and we create this internal tug of war within ourselves. We can find our own personal power when we recognize that we are our own safest bet. 2) Trauma and pain in our bodies, how our brain is the pattern detector machine and its responsibility is to protect us from pain, and Dr. Julia's definition of trauma as the violent shattering of the predictable patterns. 3) Where trauma and how we deal with trauma can affect or impact our leadership skills, leading others in business and in our lives.

In this episode, I am sharing the differences between the fear of success and the fear of failure, how to see the roots of it and how to reframe it to see it differently. In this episode, we discuss: 1) Fear of failure relates to the feeling of not meeting our own expectations. Fear of success relates to the belief we have in ourselves in our ability to hold our success, hold the growth and who we might lose in the process or how it might change our lives or relationships. We also may feel the fear of judgment and what others will think or say about us when we change. 2) Explore the origins of the fears, see how and when it shows up, spend time visualizing success, manage the stress and anxiety and find a way to see it for what it is, a chance for our ego to keep us "safe" 3) Look for evidence or proof of how many times you have actually proven to yourself that you are capable and able to create this change in your life? The proof is there when you look for it.

In this episode, this is a personal one. Today is our youngest son's birthday and I want to share some of the lessons I have learned from being a mom. My boys are 24 and 25 years old as of today, and it has me reminiscing and reflecting on all that I have learned from them, and how much they have taught me and shaped me into the person I am today. In this episode, we discuss: 1) First off there's no manual, so I had to come to a place knowing that I was doing the best that I could. I had to learn how to adapt, change in the moment and learn that what worked for one situation or circumstance might not work the same in the next scenario. Learning how to not judge their wins, losses or lessons, they are here to navigate their own way. 2) I have learned self compassion, surrender, and leaned into faith more than I ever believed I would be able to. Trusting myself to make very difficult decisions has been a steep learning curve. 3) They are my best teachers, I have learned so much from them and allowing them to live their lives, make their own decisions and know that in that process mistakes will be made too is normal. Let's normalize pivoting and changing and knowing that we have the ability to stay standing on our feet in the process. 4) They aren't ours to keep, they never were. That means we have to give them space to make their mistakes and learn from them. I have always said "I cannot push or pull them through life, my job is to walk beside them and encourage them to keep going."

Today we are speaking with Yoga, Sex + Death Creator + Facilitator, Founder of Samarasa Center, Susan Marrufo. Susan left the United States and a job in advertising in 2008 to travel internationally and experience life beyond the confines of her cultural conditioning. She received her first 500-hr yoga certification in Thailand in 2009, where she began her studies of the classical yogic scriptures and delved deeply into esoteric tantric philosophy. After years of teaching month-long tantric based courses on the banks of the Ganges in India and the Pacific coastal towns of Mexico, Susan returned to the US to begin a residential internship with the Kripalu School of Yoga. She taught in and project managed several Kripalu yoga teacher trainings as well as received her 2nd 500-hr teacher training certification from the Kripalu School of Yoga in 2013. She has since split her time between India, Thailand and the US, facilitating group courses in the inquiry of yoga, meditation, intimacy and shadow work before moving to Los Angeles in 2016 to open Samarasa Center - an online and in-person community of dedicated seekers. In this episode we discuss: 1) Susan's journey of overcoming trauma, learning to feel and not numb and a healing journey that has taken her all over the globe as well as building her own Yoga, Sex and Death certification program. 2) Trauma – how we think of trauma as an event when actually it is a response in our nervous system to the event. When this happens our body differentiates pieces of the trauma and leaves these in our past and in our subconscious mind. Healing requires supporting our subconscious mind and healing all the pieces of our past stories.

In this episode, I am sharing a quick episode on how the words we hear as a child, our experiences and struggles can actually circle back around to become the strengths in our adulthood. So many times our messages become and create the feelings of "limitations" and we let them stop us when actually they truly are our innate strengths. It is up to us to own them. In this episode, we discuss: 1) Trust, slow down, listen for the signs and know that the right words, names and titles will land. 2) What words were used to describe yourself when you were younger? How can you look at them and see them differently? 3) I shared a quick story about an overgrown flower bed, weeds, and a lawnmower.

In this episode, I am sharing some thoughts on the word alignment. It's a business buzzword that we hear all the time and I think we can all relate to the feelings of being in and out of alignment. What if our misalignment is actually teaching us more than what we give it credit for? What if it isn't about failing, but it's showing us what we want more or less of in our lives? In this episode, we discuss: 1) What does alignment feel like? Can you think of times in your life and business that have you feeling so in alignment and working in joy and your gifts? 2) We can't know what alignment is if we don't know what misalignment is too. Those moments of misalignment can teach us so much about ourselves, such as our own needs, what feels good, what lights us up, what is and what isn't working. 3) Coming back into alignment might be a simple 3 degrees shift, more yes' or no's to the things that light you up to bring you back into a space that feels good for you?
