We get stuck in emotional chaos when we don't learn how to handle them. How then do you surf the waves of your emotional world without having to stumble with the waves? Mindset work and emotional mastery help. Alyssa Nobriga is the Founder + CEO of The Institute of Coaching Mastery, a coaching certification program that helps leaders become masterful facilitators and run successful businesses.
She's been featured as an expert coach by Deepak Chopra and highlighted in multiple media outlets including Forbes, Entrepreneur, Psychology Today, Inc., and Fox, among others.

She's a certified coach, is trained in Imago relationship therapy, and is certified in mindfulness-based therapeutic practices from The Hakomi Institute.
Alyssa is a speaker and a successful entrepreneur who is committed to empowering others in leading more fulfilling and authentic lives.
In this episode, Alyssa shares about her very own struggle toward food freedom -- what self-awareness and judgment taught her in navigating through her transformation. Find out one effective strategy she did to fight off her food problem. Learn how to reprogram one's pattern of treating food as good or bad. Judgment isn't leading you anywhere but only getting you stuck.
How getting a coach or someone who fully supports you in whatever you are going through can help a lot in moving through to your goal. We can get distracted at times even with much resolve, but having someone to help us with accountability, is something.
Fear is one thing that bars us from truly realizing our potential and becoming the best versions of ourselves. Our subconscious has the tendency to protect us and makes us safe all the time. But without finding out the root cause of all that's making us scared we will never find that freedom to embrace what life truly holds for us.
Alyssa teaches that that which we dare not to look into holds the promise of something beautiful. She doubles down on how in this path to healing, love and compassion is at the heart of it all.
"I always teach people to move, be inspired towards what you're going for, rather than what you're moving away from." - Alyssa Nobriga

Can't you seem to find joy outside of food, alcohol, and parties? Why do you always make yourself wrong for wanting to have food? How can you stop yourself from constantly thinking about it? Is that even possible? How not to fear food and strongly wrestle with the thought of not eating a cookie lest you gain those pounds you so continually dread? These questions appear to be endless. Think of a life where you don't stress yourself too much around food. You stop getting scared of the idea of food. Instead, you move freely around it and enjoy the satisfaction for which it brings you without feeling the unnecessary guilt we almost always subject ourselves to. Yes, a life entirely ditching a diet mentally where when you fall off track, you will only end up depressed and getting back to being unstuck. You can have a life centered on your passions that brings you profound happiness and joy. As with client's' experience, Hypnosis for permanent weight loss helped slow down their minds to this nagging voice running inside their heads.. They start not caring about food, diet, and exercising any more than they used to. You may be unconscious of it right now, or you are already starting your journey to your path of alignment. Yet you still find food as your comfort blanket; that's understandable. Each one has a unique path. And this is the best time for you to explore all the possibilities for yourself. You can pursue your passions. You can go into meditation; that helps you bring back to your core. Consider getting yourself back to the past and think about what you love doing in your childhood and bring it back today. Also, service to others is the one best thing to get you out of your head and out of food. People find happiness serving other people. Have dates with friends. But not so much around food and alcohol but on something else you both love doing outside of it. Before you know it, you'll find yourself wanting it to happen every so often. You might want the idea of journaling, or else you can do gardening. How about you listen to music and dance like crazy. Meditation also helps. You can have all the creative things to do; all you have to do is plan it, set a time for it, and take action.
But the thing is, if you can't connect to your reason why you are doing it, then it's not sustainable. I recommend you look for someone successful in what they do and help you be accountable for your actions and become successful yourself. If that is what you want for you and your life, you can contact me. Let's talk and journey together to your path to freedom and success.
"Through Hypnosis and slowing the mind through becoming more aware of what's happening, and the thoughts that you have in your brain about what you're eating when you're eating, and why you're eating, you can bring back the joy in food. And it doesn't have to be such a scary, threatening, awful thing anymore that you're back and forth with 'I love it,' 'I hate it," I can't stand it,' 'I can't have enough of it.'" - Leslie Thornton

Diet culture is making a mess of one's life. One makes wrong of himself, and you feel bad for yourself for wanting what is normal. And this is most often where you fall off track. When all around you is controlled, not meeting your goal is the likelihood. There has to be a way to respond to your authentic self's desires. Only when you lean on to that authentic self will you be free to move around, whether around food or whatever that is making you scared. We need to be able to distinguish a fear-based action versus actions based on self-love. Most often, there is that voice of a little child in us whispering for it to be given attention to and not to be ignored. If we tend to be kind enough to give in to this little voice's request, we will have peace in ourselves. That which is controlled often fails. Always having in mind what other people think of you often rip you apart. Why not do what makes you happy and face your truth this time? I know it's never easy, but you are not doing this alone. It takes a lot of practice and commitment to reach the other side of where you are now. If you keep falling back to where you were and still getting stuck, you have probably been climbing upstream against the tide. Why not follow the path of least resistance this time? There is a way to teach your body a new pattern. There is a way to reparent your subconsciousness. Hypnosis for permanent weight loss provides a relaxing way to your freedom. "The point is that anything you try and manage and control always at the end of the day fails, especially a diet." - Leslie Thornton

What's holding you back and stopping you from getting that freedom in whatever you want in life? Don't get stuck in fear and the payoff that happens -- these are all just in your mind. Let your desire for change surpass that which limits you by strengthening your muscle of self-trust. Therese Skelly is a Business Mindset Expert. She is the Author of "Love Based Mission: How to Create A Business That Serves Your Soul". After "burning it all down," she has rebuilt and has a proven formula to show other business owners the path to creating a business that serves their souls.
In this episode, Therese shares how it is all about beliefs. It is about always reinforcing that thought that you can do it; otherwise, you back down to the old pattern your brain always wants to dwell on. It takes testing your muscle of self-trust. What brings us weight problems is not so much because of food but more of other aspects in life that we are failing, like in relationships, both business and personal, alike. We are just masking all of it with food out of fear of something else. We fear letting go of control, and we don't seize the moment. We don't let ourselves be in the present because all we think about are all those made-up beliefs that are ruining our ability to enjoy the moment and just be.
Her experience with trauma in the recent past teaches her to relearn that your thoughts are not what you are. We shouldn't hold ourselves as victims of our past. Yes, we honor the hurts and pain, but it should never prevent us from always moving forward. This is where we often get stuck -- in the past, when the present and the future holds so much promise. Listening to our body's signal of truth and not just our own obsession, getting that self-awareness and acting on it -- that's freedom!
"If you understand the thing you desire is already yours, it's already here -- you just got to do the healing, just jump into it and take the actions to get there. Never give up because it's already done." - Therese Skelly

Thanksgiving day is just around the corner; it may not be like the celebrations we used to have before, but definitely, there is holiday eating, family getting together and of course the stress that comes with it. If you are one to be scared about food and all the time thinking of dieting the whole day, then this could be pretty stressful for you. Obsessing over bodyweight, having a hard time thinking of the situation and you don't have a space to feel safe about all your fears could affect your mental health. That drives isolation, and it's real. And when you feel isolated, that's when you get stuck with food and body image, and it's unhealthy for you. And with COVID happening right now, it just makes things all the more difficult. It can lead you to be thinking of things that make it even scarier. Often, that which you constantly think about is the one likely happening. Whatever it is that you put your thoughts into ends up a reality for you. When fear clouds everything you do and say, it limits yourself to be more - that which you are supposed to be. Some may be gripped by fear, though. But you only have to look around, see, and realize that even during this time, some open opportunities for transformation. They've got a structure in place that provides you with a safe space to allay your fears. They've got a community; they've got inspired action to help you live your authentic truth. And Hypnosis for Permanent Weight Loss does just that. It helps you understand that life is just the way you look at it. If you believe the sky is falling, then that's what you get, and it gets manifested. If you see life is happening for you and not to you, then you will trust yourself and others and be at peace with yourself. Take action now - you are meant for more. "You're getting present to your body, into yourself into, your truth, and your love, and your happiness now. And let me tell you when you master living in the present moment, an nd master living in the now, when you realize that life is happening for you, not to you, everything can start to open up." - Leslie Thornton

In this episode, Becca shares about the anxiety, personal and professional issues, one on top of the other, that she went through herself. She was so lost at the time when she first heard about Leslie's Hypnosis podcast. Listening to the first podcast episode made her realize, everything Leslie is talking about just completely describes her. That's when she reached out and made a go for her transformation. Yes, her life has improved since. But mind you, it's never that easy. As she would always point out, this sends us a strong message that 'Persistence is Key and not Perfection'. She admits to somehow going the same rabbit hole at times, but with a completely better arsenal in her toolbox now, that makes her deal with things a lot wiser this time. She learned that when you are ready to let go of whatever that's holding you back, that's when things happen. She had therapy before. It was awesome, but to her, therapy alone won't cut it. Hypnosis for Permanent Weight Loss gave her the ticket to her freedom.

Relationships and permanent weight loss correlate. Food is not the problem; it is something else. It is only an outlet with which you use as a way out to numb whatever pain you feel inside. Many voices are running through your mind each day and telling you all these disempowering thoughts about yourself. When you think lowly of yourself, you also attract men and relationships that you're projecting yourself. We have to bear in mind that the most important relationship that we have to master is that of our connection to our very selves. As one of the TEDx speakers said, you need to marry yourself. And marrying yourself means loving and accepting yourself the way you are, imperfect but just the same, amazing. But sometimes loving yourself is one difficult task to do especially when there is some trauma involved in the past that you weren't aware of or even if you are aware of it, it is embedded in your subconscious state and still needs healing. Hypnosis provides tools to help you have a new awareness of your subconscious to make you love and accept yourself fully. When you have that self-awareness of your authentic self, that's when things start to mirror back other relationships in your life. We have to accept the fact that it's hard to be successful in relationships at this time. What with women demanding equal status with men that in so doing, we become logically thinking like them. Women forget to practice emotional mastery anymore, and men are not having instinctual ways of going after women. It's because they're finding it hard to deal with women who are too upfront. That is why it needs your openness to embrace my way of coaching to see a different result that works. That's why we need to be intentional about the qualities of what we want in men; that we don't settle for anything other than what we've already set before us. At the same time, we need to keep working on ourselves to be better for the one we've wanted. If you are on dating apps, be aware of the tips that will make men want you more and keep them working hard to give you the love and respect that you deserve. Always cultivate that love for yourself, don't wait to be perfect, or when you're good enough. You're perfect just the way you are. When you learn to accept that, and you bask in the joy that you are enough, it will radiate. And the right one will come along before you know it. And it's always good to have that growth mindset where you do what you do for yourself and not for any man because the least you think about doing it for such reason, that's when it opens up opportunities for attracting the right one. And if you want to take action on a relationship that is not working and serving anyone anymore, Hypnosis for Permanent Loss might be the one for you. Take that action now. I am just a call away. "There is no perfect, there is no there yet, there is no good enough. And if you're waiting until you're good enough, you're never gonna find somebody who's unconditionally loving and accepting of you just the way you are today. Because you're not unconditionally loving and accepting of you just the way you are today." - Leslie Thornton

Why can you not seem to keep off that weight from increasing? Why get frustrated every time you're not fitting into your pants? Why stay in a tumultuous relationship that's not serving you well? Why stay in a job that doesn't make you happy? Why can you not just walk away and stop being stuck? The truth of the matter is, what you believe all along to be causing you to despair is not necessarily what the truth is all about. It's more than that, and it's way deeper into one's subconscious. It goes back to past issues you've never taken the time to address and get over with altogether. Dana Penenberg is a Reiki and an Integrative Craniosacral Unwinding practitioner; Dana combines her experiences in the modalities of dance, somatic disciplines, and psychology. Her work is potent and multi-disciplinary, which allows her to create a unique activation for each client. She received her initiation as a healer-activator through a 12-year healing crisis, which saw her plunge into the worlds of allopathic, homeopathic and energetic medicines to find her way out of the crisis and into an understanding of how it works. It taught her to listen deeply on all levels. Dana is also a doula who has studied pre and perinatal psychology with Annie Brook.
In this episode, hear out Dana's journey into healing and becoming a practitioner in Hypnosis. She shares about her clients' patterns of behavior that are a massive influence in their healing process. She finds out that most of us find it easier to live a life of distraction rather than dwell on a difficult process at the start but a completely freeing sense of self in the end. What holds us back to complete freedom and reaching our highest potential is that fear of abandonment. We need to have a place to feel safe and taken care of. Hypnosis provides tools and modalities where you can ultimately be your authentic self, speaking your thoughts out, digging deep into the inner recesses of your being to fully uncover that which should be dealt with once and for all. It's about healing those past traumas and deep wounds that cut through your being and staying there for some time and manifesting in ways even yourself has no way of knowing how to deal with it.
She talks about rewire and repattern. There is a way to reparent yourself and learn to love yourself again. Nature, too, has a lot to do with your healing. Reconnecting and co-regulating with it allows you to get back to your core. She has lots of tips on this matter that will help you deal with cravings for human touch, especially during COVID. Embarking on this Hypnosis journey enables you to focus on the source of the problem rather than on the symptom, a mistake most of us make and which often fails.
"We are our own little echo chambers of our subconscious stories, and we need that person to go in, and kind of hold that space from outside of our little chamber." - Dana Penenberg

Bright line eating is dangerous. What better way to demonstrate the danger it poses to you and your body other than sharing what I've been through myself. As early as when I was a kid, obsession with weight loss had been my thing. I had a slow metabolism, the reason that explains it all. That was when I tried every means I get to ward off any unwanted pounds, but the more desperate I got, the more I fall off my resolve. That continued for years. I am a nurse by profession; it was because of that obsession I wanted to become one to understand my own predicament. I probably obsessed more with my weight throughout those years than someone of my age would obsess over romance and relationships. It went on for years with hardly any success. Until I reached the end of my rope and finally wanted to seek inner peace. That's when I started Hypnosis for permanent weight loss. That's when the maddening thoughts stopped. Food was never the one constant in my mind anymore. No longer was I scared around food. I found freedom around it than when I used to before. I don't worry about my weight at all anymore. Not until I received an email that would alter my newfound truth. That's when I became sneaky about trying Bright Line eating again. I did it for three years. I was made to believe I had an addiction, that something was wrong with me, that sugar and calories are addicting elements that would prevent me from realizing that skinny body I have always been desperately wanting to have. I did attain it but to the detriment of some other aspects of my life. Pushing myself too hard was tiring. I was putting much pressure on myself that it took away joy and happiness in me. I was scared of touching food I labeled bad. I completely shun sugar and calories, and those times I fall off the routine, I couldn't help but hate myself for being a failure. That took a toll on my relationships. I couldn't go out and dine with the people I wanted to hang out with. I was so scared around food and what it would bring me down to. I couldn't bear the thought of weight gain. It really has a way of manipulating your body and the way you think about yourself and food.
All along, what I wanted was to accept and love myself and my body for the way it is and stop my crazy desperation over a skinny yogi body. When I asked a professional about intuitive eating, I learned that any belief system you allow yourself to believe is actually what will run your life. And that's when I got back to Hypnosis and the tools that help me have the freedom, happiness, joy, inner peace that I feel within. It brought me back my authentic self, which led me to bring back relationships with my family. Things have never been self-freeing since then. Anyone of you who can resonate with my story, I have tools to help you transform your life into one of inner peace, freedom, and happiness.
"I was actually warned by someone who had gone through food addiction kind of recovery things in the past about not joining bright line eating when I did. And unfortunately I didn't listen to that. I do have faith that it all happened for a reason. And that I'm glad it happened so I can save other people from going down a similar awful rabbit hole." - Leslie Thornton
