Breakthrough Weekly

Do you ever catch yourself saying harsh, critical things to yourself?

“I’m so stupid.”
“What is wrong with me?”
“Why do I always do this?”

You may say these things automatically and barely notice them anymore. But when the same message is repeated again and again, it can become familiar and what becomes familiar can influence what you believe about yourself.

In this episode of Breakthrough Weekly, I share something I did during one of the most difficult periods of my life, long before I became a hypnotherapist.

At the time, I had no idea what I was actually doing.

Now I do.

We’ll explore how repetition and self-talk can reinforce beliefs, why the words that follow “I am” or “I’m” matter, and how an experience or mistake can become part of the identity you hold about yourself.

I’ll also share how working on my own inner critic changed the way I respond to mistakes and difficult emotions and why consciously changing your words may not always address the deeper beliefs driving the response.

Have you ever considered changing jobs or careers and found yourself questioning abilities you’ve spent years building?

A new environment can bring new systems, people, expectations, and things to learn. When uncertainty starts creating fear, it can become easy to focus on everything you don’t know yet while overlooking everything you already know how to do.

In this episode of Breakthrough Weekly, Monica Pelayo explores why the unfamiliar can trigger self-doubt, how underlying beliefs can shape the meaning we give uncertainty, and why changing careers, companies, or roles doesn’t mean starting from zero.

Your environment may change. Your experience comes with you.

You know your job. You’ve done it well for years. People come to you for answers.

So why can one bad moment still make you question yourself?

Sometimes the issue goes deeper than confidence. You can spend years building skills, gaining experience, and proving that you are capable while still seeing yourself through a belief you formed much earlier in life.

In this episode of Breakthrough Weekly, I share a personal realization that helped me recognize exactly that in my own life.

I’ll take you back to the childhood experience that shaped an early belief about myself, the evidence my mind continued focusing on, and the decades of contradictory evidence I had barely been counting.

We’ll also explore why one correction can sometimes stay with you longer than years of positive feedback, how an old belief can continue influencing the way you show up today, and the breakthrough that occurred when I finally saw my own story differently.

A question to consider as you listen:

What are you still believing about yourself that was formed years ago, and what evidence in your life today tells a different story?

If you recognize that an unconscious belief or pattern may be influencing how you see yourself or how you’re showing up in your life, I invite you to schedule a complimentary exploratory call to see if you’re the right fit for this type of work:

How much of the way you show up in business is being influenced by what you assume other people think about you?

Fear of judgment, criticism or rejection can quietly influence whether you start the conversation, introduce yourself, talk about your work, pursue an opportunity or allow yourself to become more visible.

In this episode of Breakthrough Weekly, I share a conversation I had with an entrepreneur at a recent business seminar that demonstrated how our expectations about other people’s perceptions can begin influencing our behavior before we even know what they actually think.

We explore the difference between someone’s response to your offer and personal rejection, why visibility can begin to feel threatening, and how an underlying belief may create friction between what you consciously want and what feels safe to do.

I also share what I had to learn from my own experience about allowing other people to have their interpretation while continuing to show up, tell my story and build my business.

What does depression look like?

Sometimes it looks like isolation, exhaustion, and struggling to get through the day. Other times, it can exist behind a smile, a career, a family, an active social life, or an incredibly productive life.

In this episode of Breakthrough Weekly, published in recognition of Suicide Prevention Awareness Month, Monica Pelayo shares both personal experience and insights from her hypnotherapy training to explore what can happen beneath the surface when someone is struggling.

The episode examines how thoughts, emotions, memories, beliefs, and imagined outcomes can reinforce one another; how early beliefs can influence the meaning we attach to painful experiences later in life; and how hopelessness can make today’s circumstances feel permanent.

Monica also discusses the importance of listening and connection when someone is struggling and why functioning on the outside does not necessarily reveal what someone is experiencing internally.

If you are experiencing suicidal thoughts or are in immediate danger in the United States, call or text 988 to reach the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline. If there is immediate danger, contact emergency services.

Manifestation is not only about what you want. It is also about who you are becoming in order to create it, receive it, and sustain it.

In this episode of Breakthrough Weekly, Monica Pelayo explores the connection between your belief system and identity, and how that identity can influence your decisions, behaviors, patterns, actions, and ultimately your results.

You may consciously know that you are capable, deserving, or confident while still finding yourself repeating patterns that seem to contradict what you believe. That disconnect can point to older beliefs operating underneath the conscious explanation.

In this episode, we explore why confidence can show up strongly in one area of life and disappear in another, how beliefs can become part of the identity you live from, and why creating a different life may require more than focusing on the outcome.

You’ll also hear a different interpretation of “acting as if”: not pretending you already have what you want, but beginning to embody the identity of the person capable of creating it.

The question becomes:

Who do you have to become to create the life you want and sustain it?

If you recognize a gap between what you consciously want and the patterns you continue repeating, hypnotherapy can help explore the beliefs and invisible roadblocks underneath those patterns.

Qué pasa cuando tu afirmación dice una cosa, pero tus pensamientos y tus creencias subconscientes siguen diciendo algo diferente?

Puedes repetir afirmaciones positivas, visualizar lo que deseas y enfocarte conscientemente en la manifestación. Pero lo que piensas, imaginas y dices durante el resto del día también importa.

En este episodio en español de Breakthrough Weekly, hablamos de cómo tus pensamientos pueden darte pistas de lo que realmente crees, por qué las palabras que usas son importantes y qué puede pasar cuando tus afirmaciones y tus creencias subconscientes están enviando mensajes diferentes.

También hablamos de la diferencia entre darte cuenta de una creencia y realmente cambiar lo que está creando el patrón.

🎧 Esta es la versión en español de Breakthrough Weekly para quienes prefieren escuchar el contenido.

What happens when your affirmation says one thing, but your thoughts, expectations, and subconscious beliefs are saying something completely different?

You can repeat positive affirmations every morning, visualize what you desire, and consciously focus on manifestation. But what you continue thinking, picturing, and saying throughout the rest of the day matters too.

In this episode of Breakthrough Weekly, I explore how your thoughts can give you clues about deeper subconscious beliefs, why the language you use matters, and what happens when your affirmations, thoughts, visualization, and beliefs are reinforcing different outcomes.

We’ll also look at the difference between becoming aware of a conflicting belief and actually changing what may be creating the pattern underneath it.

Sabes lo que quieres. Lo has visualizado, has repetido afirmaciones, quizás incluso has rezado por ello. Entonces, ¿por qué todavía parece estar fuera de tu alcance?

La pieza que falta puede no ser cuánto lo deseas, sino lo que subconscientemente crees que realmente es posible y está disponible para ti.

En este episodio de Breakthrough Weekly, exploramos la conexión entre la manifestación, las creencias subconscientes, la identidad y las acciones que tomamos.

También comparto una historia personal que años después me ayudó a comprender una de las lecciones más importantes que he aprendido:

La creencia no reemplaza la acción. La creencia sostiene la acción.

Hablaremos sobre tres creencias fundamentales que pueden influir silenciosamente en lo que persigues, lo que evitas y lo que te permites creer que es posible para tu vida. También exploraremos cómo la hipnosis puede ayudar a descubrir las creencias que pueden estar operando debajo de ciertos patrones.

You know what you want. You’ve visualized it, repeated the affirmations, maybe even prayed for it. So why does it still feel out of reach?

The missing piece may not be your desire. It may be what you subconsciously believe is actually possible and available to you.

In this episode of Breakthrough Weekly, I explore the connection between manifestation, subconscious beliefs, identity, and action. I also share a personal story that helped me understand one of the most important lessons I’ve learned:

Belief doesn’t replace action. Belief sustains action.

We’ll look at three core beliefs that can quietly influence what you pursue, what you avoid, and what you allow yourself to believe is possible for your life, along with where hypnosis can help uncover what may be operating underneath those patterns.
