From a very young age we start to develop notions or beliefs of ourselves, the world around us, and how we relate to the world. Some of these beliefs are supportive and healthy but many of them don’t serve us at all and can severely limit our ability to succeed in any or all aspects of our lives. People experience long term financial problems, depression, social anxiety, stage fright, eating disorders, phobias, procrastination, shyness, fear of public speaking, the inability to form healthy relationships, and many other fear based problems. The thoughts related to these notions are often unconscious and most people don’t recognize them or if they do they’ve become so habitual and familiar that we don’t question them. But they determine our behavior, our emotions, and our reality. Today’s guest has dedicated her professional life to helping people identify and overcome these negative thought patterns.
