Fear. When we hear that word our first reaction is that whatever is causing it must inherently be bad. But I’m here to tell you that’s not always the case!

In this episode we’ll be talking about the ego, why we have it and how it’s here to protect us. But it can also hold us back, and I’m going to help you overcome that! Time to start rewriting your story and being in the drivers seat while you do it. Learn to face your fear and in doing so create that dream life you’re desiring!

Timestamps:
2:50 - Our ego protects us but keeps us in a box
4:39 - Tell yourself you are safe
7:17 - Change how you think of fear

We all face difficulties and challenges through out our lives regardless of how different our circumstances may seem. On this weeks episode join me with the inspirational Wayne Forrest and be motivated to discover and embody what Wayne calls our “Inner warrior”!

Wayne is an international transformational speaker and life mastery coach as well as a Ted x speaker. He’s has shared the stage with many well known thought leaders such as Matt Boggs and international trainers and speakers such as my personal favorite Lisa Nichols. (Who you might know from the secret book & film!) 

Wayne had a sporting accident in 1995 that left him C5 tetraplegic and he said this was the catalyst for his ongoing personal development journey which has given him the incredible life he loves and is very grateful for. He is a co-creator of an award winning non for profit “CHB swim for lives” which supports local schools in deep water programs and swimming lessons to help save lives and prevent drowning. 

Wayne shares his journey from the heart to enable others to believe that YOU too can build and live your dreams, and live a life you love regardless of the challenges, struggles or perceived disabilities you face.

Last week we spoke about the law of attraction. This week we’re going to talk about that missing puzzle piece to bring you manifestations to life!

So many times when coaches teach about manifestation or you see pretty quotes online they give you the impression that if you think it, it will come. And it can! BUT, it takes a little more work than that. It takes ACTION as well. So let’s dive a little deeper on how to actually make your wildest dreams a reality.

3:15 - To have your dream, you have to take action
5:47 - Take inspired action
12:10 - You have to go through the crappy things to know what you want

Today is all about the LOA and the most basic principles of this universal law that affects each and every one of us, whether you believe it or not!
