In this episode, Colleen gives an update on the behind-the-scenes of what happened after being suddenly cut from a program she'd once called home. At first, she carried the weight of unfairness and betrayal, convinced it would take a long time to heal. But what started as a sting that clung to her body and mind turned into something radically different: a live demonstration of releasing the story that was holding her hostage.

Through an unexpected NLP exercise with her coach, she revisits the childhood wound at the root of her pain and dismantles the old belief that others get to decide her worth. In real time, you'll hear how her body shifted, her brain rewired, and her story transformed from "I've been wronged" to "I'm free." What looked like rejection became a clean slate, a wider horizon, and a reminder that freedom comes when you reclaim the pen and rewrite your own narrative.

This isn't just an update—it's a case study in emotional sovereignty, showing how quickly you can drop a heavy story and walk away lighter.

🔑 Key Takeaways

• It's not the event itself that hurts—it's the story you tell yourself about it.

• Collective agreement ("this sucks, you were wronged") can reinforce pain instead of helping you heal.

• Waiting for someone else to respond or explain is giving away your power.

• Your body often signals when you're carrying emotional baggage.

• Reframing old wounds allows you to rewrite new stories in real time.

• A neutral event can become an opportunity if you choose to see it that way.

Freedom comes from owning that you are the source of both your suffering and your joy.
