Who’s really running your life—you or your mind?

In this thought-provoking episode of Her Second Stage, Hilda Lunderstedt explores how the mind—especially the subconscious—shapes your identity, behaviors, and reality. She breaks down the role of patterns, triggers, looping, and spiraling, revealing how most of our thoughts are just outdated stories we didn’t choose.

With powerful metaphors and personal examples, Hilda shows how the mind is your internal GPS—but it needs alignment with your heart, spirit, and body to serve your highest self. If you’ve ever felt stuck, reactive, or confused about your decisions, this episode gives you the tools to map your beliefs, upgrade your mental software, and step into empowered, conscious leadership in midlife.

You’ll learn:

● How the conscious, subconscious, and superconscious minds shape your life

● Why repeating patterns and emotional triggers hold you back

● What “looping” and “spiraling” thoughts are—and how to break them

● How to identify the origin of your beliefs and rewire your reality

● A simple process to upgrade your inner navigation system

● The difference between reacting and responding—and why it matters

This is the episode that helps midlife women move from unconscious programming to conscious creation.
