Life has its ups and downs. We all experience that, and sometimes it comes to the point that we cannot just let it sit on the side.

We make decisions to find ourselves again, and when we do those significant steps in our lives, that's when disintegration in some parts of our life happens.

And that is so much to bear. And that when we don't have that support system and emotional mastery to combat that, everything fails, and the cycle of feeling like a failure always haunts us.

There has to be a way of making us aware that whatever storm we go through in life, we see it as something happening for us, not about 'to us.'

If we go through alone figuring things out, we'll just return to our old selves. But when we get support, like coaching, that's when we get accountability, and that real awareness of ourselves and what needs working to become our authentic selves is realized; that's when true freedom and happiness set in. And you deserve that.

"People who are on a constant diet can't and are always frustrated about this, they are the ones that need this work the most. That's why I'm talking to you. We work on this stuff because it's just your negative thinking and mindset that's getting in your way of having it all." - Leslie Thornton

What you'll learn from this episode:

• Understanding why tons of breakdowns happen after a big decision [and the law of attraction that transpires]
• Look at it as, how is this happening for me, instead of to me
• What you can do when you reach a point in life where you make a big decision, and something else falls apart
• What it means to have that honesty with yourself from a place of empowerment
• Getting support but more than therapy
• Medications versus accountability and authentic support system

There is so much to think about more than just perfection. If you think rules, structure, or discipline are the only way to hit your goal of losing weight, think again.

For a lot of us, we all have been introduced to the idea of a diet mentality. It's everywhere, and that's what social media is telling us. And we buy it. Think about control and restriction. Those words alone suffocate us.

How about accepting the idea that you can have food, anything you can think of, eating them whenever you feel like eating them? Isn't that great? Then you can have all the freedom you've wanted for so long.

Think of other things in your life you feel like you lack. Energy, perhaps? Just think of someone who has it, and let your mind work in your favor.

Everything about these struggles that you have can be helped with these emotional mastery tools. Yes, no need to stop you from eating food you want at the moment.

That's what NLP[Neuro Linguistic Programming] is all about. Knowing it and how it works also works wonders in your weight loss journey.

In this episode, Nikki shares how she eats intuitively without fear of what that particular food might do to her weight, giving her an empowered choice to decide what to eat anytime she wants. Also, the thought that whenever she lacks energy, she just uses this helpful tool and technique to bring her back to life.

She also talks about how their eating behavior used to be in strict compliance with not eating certain foods, which might ruin all the diet plans. Fast forward to now, and things are no longer the same. It's about enjoying them whenever you want. And weighing on the scale no longer matters and doesn't scare her anymore. That's exactly because NLP mastery tools now rule.

Nikki Osborne is a copywriter at @hannahermanson_

"I really just go with how I feel. Beforehand, I was going on the number and then wanted to change everything, just going on how I feel and what my body tells me. And that's the biggest tool, just being able to listen to my body and it tells me something." - Nikki Osborne

Science gives us the reason why we should weigh this much and reach our ideal BMI.

We can always consider that basis but not forget to factor in other important facets of one's life.

We all have to experience different phases in our life. No one should tell us how much exactly we need to weigh.

Sometimes, we need to see things in a way where our body and what it looks like at some point needs to be like that to carry us through the stress and hardships of facing the situation we have.

In this episode, Leslie shares how we should look beyond just counting the number and putting away all those ideal BMI beliefs. It is not so much about decreasing your food and exercise. It's more about looking into the emotional aspect of weight gain.

Something deep needs to be given attention and be worked on. When the root cause hidden in your subconscious is unearthed and healed, there's profound change.

You are more than your body, and when you realize that, that's when you have emotional mastery, and you deal with stress better. In doing so, you are on the road to freedom and peace.

"You have this opportunity now to actually take where you're at, to change the course of your future, where it won't be one of disappointment, it won't be one of continuous feeling like a failure and that your body is not enough. I can't tell you how attractive it is to meet someone who has just confidence and radiance in the skin that they're in, regardless of what that size is. " - Leslie Thornton

01:56 - What people are saying about that BMI formula

08:53 - The pain in growth and how things spiral out negative thoughts

17:04 - Your body is what it is right now, and the same with the mental chatter in your mind

21:25 - Paying attention to the emotional reason for the weight gain and finding a solution for that

24:20 - Getting into the source of the matter

26:05 - Becoming your authentic self and not having to follow what others want you to do

29:22 - Having that detachment from the number people are saying you need to be

With a diet mentality, control is the name of the game. But why it often fails is because we're so focused on the goal of losing weight that when we fall off track, it's harder to get back on again. We end up hating ourselves for that.

And that makes us unkind to ourselves. That's where perfectionism ends up in desperation. And only worsens things.

Besides, a lot in your past likely has to do with your eating behaviors: overeating, stress eating, anxious eating, and comfort eating. Unless you learn to deal with your emotions and master them, you will always be in an endless cycle of putting away those extra pounds.

In today's episode, Rusty Osborne shares his background, how heavy he used to be, and how he's turned around his life and weight for the better. Thanks to NLP[ Neuro Linguistics Programming] for helping him repattern his subconscious mind to do away with the trauma and hurts of things past. With this modality, he was able to live a life making empowered food choices, and learning about self-acceptance, self-awareness, and self-forgiveness. Together, all these help him learn to trust himself and the process and do what feels right for his body.

Hear him share NLP's core beliefs and how significant they help you with body image and weight issues. And if there are parts of you that conflict with each other, you can learn to align them, coming from a place of integrity instead of fear. That way you learn to be kind and love yourself more and the people who matter most to you.

"People have all the abilities they need to succeed. You have it; I have it, and everyone listening has it. All we need to do is be able to tap into that. And learning to trust yourself is massive." - Rusty Osborne

Are you tired of trying to lose weight and getting on every diet plan and trend available but to no avail? Do you find yourself overly obsessed with food? And it seems like that's all you have to think about all the time.

There must be some source of all this paranoia about your body-weight issues.

Have you ever wondered and looked closely where these are coming from and why you keep putting back on pounds after you lose them momentarily?

And ultimately stepping out from fear and embracing freedom and peace.

"I have to say that this program is so much more than a weight loss program. It is beyond that. In fact, I literally hardly have worked on anything weight loss related since I've been doing this. But everything I've been working on is related to my weight loss." - Stacey Shotko

Perfecting our eating habits is never easy. It is even more difficult when you are on a diet mentality. A mindset of control leads to us falling off track, losing weight, and then gaining weight again.

As a result, we hate ourselves for how things turn out. We'll never be able to rest easy knowing that. Our bodies are capable of determining how much food they need. We can make a mess of our eating behaviors when we don't know our energy type.

It might be worth focusing on one thing. This is what self-awareness is all about.

Kelsey Abbot discusses how the different energy types in human design work in this episode. A complete understanding of yourself will allow you to effectively manage your food, body, and weight management issues. It also eliminates the stress of doing something that is not your thing.

Kelsey Abbott is an intuitive Human Design and Money Coach who uses science, spirituality, and play to help people welcome more ease, abundance and joy into their lives.

Kelsey studied at the Institute for Professional Excellence in Coaching (IPEC) where she earned certifications as a Certified Professional Coach, Energy Leadership Master Practitioner, and Cor.E Performance coach. She also studied at the Applied Neuroscience Institute, earning her NeuroPositive Certificate in using neuroscience to change how the brain processes challenges.

Worried about being a failure again? That you would never stop binging, that you'd overeat, that you wouldn't fit into that dress? You'll always hate the body you have?

That won't get you anywhere. It will only make things worse and encourage you to gain weight.

It looks the same in relationships when you keep begging and keep chasing. Regardless of your efforts, you will always be on the losing end.

It's important not to be obsessed with perfecting the process of getting what you want. Life isn't easy, and you need to manage it. Embrace your flaws and love yourself anyway. It's time to ditch the diet mentality.

Consider what you truly want for yourself. This is the only way you can find peace, freedom, and meaning in your life, no matter your size.

As with anything in life, there are challenges along the way. To get on your journey to greatness and self-love, you need mastery tools. The Hypnosis program can help you get started.

"People always say, as soon as you let go of needing to be in a relationship, that's when that relationship pops in, like, immediately. We need to get you to stop needing to lose weight and focus on what you want and how you want to feel and know you can create that for yourself even without the weight loss." - Leslie Thornton

What you will learn from this episode:

02:28 - What mental obsession looks like, and the negative effect it has on your body and your being

05:08 - Imagine the possibility of living life with no mental obsession

08:24 - Know what you truly want and create something beautiful for yourself even with no weight loss

10:01 - Choosing growth versus control

13:19 - Not the easiest step to take, but all worth it

14:09 - How it feels when you heal parts of yourself and finally step into your greatness and highest potential

Life can sometimes be chaotic. With so many voices running in our minds, we don't know what to believe, and often we think of that which abuses our relationship with ourselves, making us feel unworthy of ourselves.

That also means protecting ourselves from getting hurt by doing things that keep us safe but erode our confidence and self-worth in the process. And this process goes on for years without us knowing and understanding why we do what we do and what makes us the way we are

And the most painful part is that we often blame ourselves for all that's happening. And that even with how much willpower we have, we cannot get off from our present predicament to what we truly want for ourselves.

That's why we must understand and be aware of ourselves so we can fully get away from the past trauma that gets us stuck in suffering.

And NLP tools and Hypnosis help us do these things, accessing the subconscious mind and repatterning it to have a new leash on life and change in behaviors.

Meet Tomas Suski, our guest for today's episode, an Engineer of the Mind who helps entrepreneurs break through their own personal limitations.

In this episode, Thomas shares how the NLP tools and Hypnosis helped him better understand himself, bringing a massive and life-changing transformation into his being. And he is just so excited to share this significant change and achievement brought about by the NLP and Hypnosis tools that got him out of that survival mindset and going towards what you truly desire.

Find out how some of these helpful tools for emotional mastery brought about something he never thought would be possible in his life - a secret that the universe has, he says, that should be out and shared with people to help them get empowered.

"I was trying to use willpower and never getting where I wanted to go. And then I realized that there's this deeper component that does all the work. And if you know how to access the subconscious mind, you can make all the changes you could ever imagine. And that's exactly what happened." - Thomas Suski

Diet mentality has significantly affected how we look at things, especially concerning food and body weight.

We believe so much about those that aren't necessarily true for us and everyone. Society and social media are not helping either. They paint something that isn't everybody's reality, as we all are different.

Menopause for women is no different. We're made to believe our weight gain is because of imbalanced hormones during this stage. But the truth is, many factors contributed to it.

Much like in the weight loss topic, a lot of what happens to us, all the stuff our beliefs bring about surrounding menopause, when changed, can help redirect our life.

What isn't serving us should be discarded; those old beliefs that have been programmed into our subconscious need to be repatterned. That's the only time we can own back our worth and master our emotions, not so much to be perfect but to be compassionate to ourselves.

That way, when we let go of those false beliefs about food and ourselves, we learn to trust ourselves more and whatever decision we have and help us do things from an empowered space and not fear.

Dr. Michelle Gordon is the Founder of The Menopause Movement. She helps women master themselves and relaunch their lives in midlife to make the next part of their lives the best part.

In this episode, Dr. Michelle Gordon shared how she has learned to let go of beliefs that don't serve her. She admits to having much trauma and false beliefs in her childhood, which kept her from doing the things that helped her become what she truly wants.

She believes that with forgiveness, she was able to reparent that inner child within her that had been through much trauma and has now experienced healing.

She also helps us understand what it is about the false notions about menopause that many associate with and how we can overcome the challenges brought about by this stage in a woman's life. And also debunking all the myths around this issue and start living a more meaningful and joyful life.

"Forgiveness is such a key to healing ourselves and healing that child. We're adults now. And if we're still reliving something that happened to us, when we were children, then in reality, a child is running our lives. And when I got that realization, I was like, I need to heal that inner child, I need to parent that child to be the person I want." - Dr. Michelle Gordon

What you will learn from this episode:

04:52 - What is behind the start of the Menopause Movement?

16:00 - Weight loss is an inner game

22:10 - How making a conscious decision to appreciate yourself makes a difference

26:13 - The truth about menopause and what you should need to understand about the many stuff happening around it

31:07 - How subconscious programming makes us lean toward the patterns that fuel weight gain

34:51 - The truth about food and sugar addiction and how to top putting off the thing that can truly help you

39:57 - How society and social media want us to look a certain way when we don't necessarily have to

42:27 - How forgiveness helps in healing our inner child

45:32 - What she's up to these days
