697 | NLP Has Taught Me Compassion

24m · Own Your Choices Own Your Life · 29 Apr 05:16

In this episode, we talk about one of the number one lessons I have learned from studying NLP these past 4 years. The tools of NLP, and subconscious reprogramming, these tools have changed how I operate in my life and business over the last 4 years. I don’t even recognize myself, and I smile when I see those old versions show up again. Now this is not a slam myself moment, because that is not productive at all. I wanted to share how these tools have made a huge difference in my life and business and maybe you will see yourself in my story.

In today’s episode, we discuss:
1) NLP, neurolinguistic programming, came into my life around 10 years ago, although I had no idea what it was. Tony Robbins, his work impacted me tremendously years ago when I realized the words I was speaking had power in my life. It officially came into my life 3 years ago when I took my NLP practitioners, signing up while in the hospital trying to figure out how I was going to recover from back surgery. Let’s keep this super simple, someone asked me on a recent podcast what the difference NLP brought into my life and business and I decided to visit that question and write it down.

2) Before - I did not trust my voice or my message, and deep down had that perfectionist/people pleaser message on repeat. I pushed super hard, to burnout regularly as though it was a badge of honour, I didn’t listen and I was in the constant spiral energy of proving my self-worth. I made my thoughts, my results mean something about me and my self-worth. I believed the limiting beliefs were true and were predicting my success or lack of success. I was on a constant search for more strategy as I was convinced I was missing it and it would help me move my “blocks”. Another coach and another program would have the answer I was missing. When you search for or sign up for these things from a space of lack, you will never find what you are looking for. These decisions need to come from a space of empowerment.

703 | What This Podcast Has Taught Me

In this episode, I want to share some insights from recording over 700 episodes on this show and a combined number of over 1000 episodes between all the shows.


In this episode, we discuss:

1) The vision is for you because there is a future version of you who already has this vision, she is already holding it and already celebrating it, it is not an accident or a coincidence. You get to choose what you do with this vision. Don’t worry if others can’t see it, they weren’t supposed to see it, it was given to you, for you to hold onto. More on holding the vision in an upcoming episode.

2) It has reminded me to celebrate the journey, show the ups and downs, and how much of a long game podcasting is, it is the longest-standing thing I have done in my business without being directly paid for it. This podcast has taught me how to harness my voice, authentic voice, and how important our stories are, we’re not alone, someone always has it harder than I do and they found a way out and are making a massive difference because of what they learned.

702 | Change the Meaning You Change the Story


In this episode, I want to share our perspective and how when you change the meaning you change the story.


In this episode, we discuss:

1) You can’t change your story until you change what you think things mean. Perspective creates meaning, meaning creates emotion, and the quality of our life is the quality of our emotions. It’s not the events of our life that are the finest it is the meaning that we make or take from them.

2) It’s the meaning that we take away from those events that change us, go back to your most difficult experiences and how can you change the meaning of them?

What would I need to believe about that event so it could serve me? Not what do I believe, what would I need to believe so that it can serve me?

701 | Learning to Love Yourself Through Heartbreak with Sara Webb

In this episode, we speak with Sara Webb. Sara is a Resilience Coach, empowering (queer) women to get over their ex and get back to themselves, so they can live their best life. She specializes in healing heartbreak from big breakups and divorce by teaching clients to heal from within by reviving their innate power.

She says, “We have strategically cultivated an inclusive culture to serve all women, especially marginalized members of the LGBTQ+ community worldwide.”

Having been engaged three times, divorced twice, and coming out of the closet later in life, she understands the pain that’s possible through big life changes. She believes that a “life of thrive” is possible for everyone regardless of circumstances.

Sara teaches pocket-sized techniques her clients can use anywhere to process stress and improve daily happiness, so they can bring the best versions of themselves to their own lives.

Sara is an engaged mother, avid yogi, and mediocre runner. She resides in sunny Florida and travels internationally for workshops and speaking engagements.

In this episode, we discuss:

1) We went down a deep conversation on meditation, resiliency, tenacity, breathwork, and the subconscious mind and how we can use these tools to support ourselves during difficult challenges.

699 | What Are Your Reasons for Not Starting?

In this episode, I want to talk about the reasons why you are not starting whatever it is that is calling on your heart. Everything is a staircase model, like climbing a mountain. Your new life is going to cost you your old one. It’s going to cost you your comfort zone and your sense of direction. It’s going to cost you relationships and friends. It’s going to cost you being liked and understood. It doesn’t matter.” ~ Brianna Wiest


In this episode, we discuss:

1) Some of the emotions that are most strongly connected with self-sabotaging behaviours are important for us to better understand. It is not about simply ‘getting over’ them; it is about listening to what they are trying to tell us about our experience.

2) Break it down to the reasons why you are telling yourself you haven’t started the thing you want to do yet. Then break it down to the steps that you can start today that will move you closer to where you want to be, and then how can you learn from someone else who’s done what you want to do, and how can you find the answers that can help you bring your vision to life?
