  • How to Stop Running From Fear and Finally Face Your Life with Rik Schnabel

    In this deeply enriching episode, Beatriz Bron welcomes Rik Schnabel, one of Australia’s most respected NLP and brain-rewiring trainers. Known as “The Brain Untrainer,” Rik reveals how childhood conditioning shapes our limits — and how we can dissolve these patterns through awareness, courage, and the alignment of our three inner brains: the heart, the head, and the gut.

    You’ll learn:

    – Why fear follows you until you turn and face it
    – How to convert fear into purpose
    – The role of desire in transformation
    – The danger of seeking acceptance instead of authenticity
    – The difference between listening and agreeing
    – Why courage is the gateway to becoming who you’re meant to be

    Rik’s wisdom meets Beatriz’s intuitive insights in a conversation filled with warmth, depth, and truth.

    • Sit With the Hard Things: Why Avoidance Breaks Us—and Presence Heals Us with Dawn Michele Jackson

      In this deeply moving episode of the Allow Yourself Podcast, host Beatriz “Batya” Bron welcomes grief recovery expert and best-selling author Dawn Michele Jackson, RN.

      Dawn brings 30+ years of experience in the healing space — as a nurse, a grief specialist, and a woman who has walked through her own valleys of loss, heartbreak, and emotional awakening.

      Together, they explore:

      • The hidden grief we carry through life transitions
      • • Why we are taught to suppress our emotions
        • How denying truth leads to physical and emotional burnout
        • What it means to be “emotionally honest”
        • And why feeling is not weakness — it’s liberation

        Dawn reminds us that grief is not just about death.

        It’s about the quiet heartbreaks, the changes, the endings, and the moments where life shifts…and we shift with it.

        Her message is clear and powerful:

        Healing begins the moment you stop performing

        and start telling yourself the truth.

        If you're in a season of change, exhaustion, or silent heartbreak, this conversation will offer both comfort and courage.
