Impact with Ease

Do you see people living the kind of life you’d like for yourself, and think, “I could never do that”?

The truth is that until you’re able to change your mindset….you’re right.

As you go through life, you accumulate certain beliefs. Many of those “beliefs” are the very reasons you think you’re a victim of your circumstances. 

You already have everything you need to succeed. It’s the walls you’ve built up around yourself and the beliefs that you hold on to that are keeping you stuck.  

You’ve got to open your mind and begin to question why you put them there. 

Today on The Bridge to FulfillmentⓇ, Blake explains why a lifetime of belief buildup could be holding you back. If you want to find your true purpose, you’ve got to “clear the windshield.”

In this episode, you’ll learn how to step back and start to really look at what you believe to be true in your life. You’ll objectively question whether or not these things are true, and begin to “clear the windshield” of false beliefs that have been holding you back from reaching your potential. You’ll learn to embrace the important stage of surrender, the true first step to experiencing the breakthrough you need in your life. 

What You’ll Learn:

• The only way to truly find your purpose (2:20)

• Why you’re not a victim of your circumstances (3:16)

• What really precedes every breakthrough (4:10)

• The process of surrender (6:26)

Favorite Quotes:

1. In order to achieve your highest purpose, you’ve got to start with the mind. You’ve got to start breaking down the walls of the things that you believe to be true.

2. As a result of not being able to see clearly, we actually feel and think that we are victims of the circumstances in our lives

3. It isn't the suffering that produces the growth or change or positive momentum in our lives. It's what precedes that breakthrough. Before that breakthrough is surrender. 

4. It's never the circumstances that are keeping us from what we want. It's the barriers in our mind.

Favorite Quotes:

1. I literally believed when I was a child that my voice was the same frequency as the ambient sounds of the universe, and that's why people talked over me when I spoke. –Zoe Chance

2. Perfectionism and shyness are actually responses to trauma. They’re responses to things that happen in our childhood that lead us to believe it's unsafe to speak or it's unsafe to make mistakes. –Blake

3. To truly come into your greatest potential value and purpose, you have to strip away the things that you're conditioned into and the belief systems that formed the trauma. And when you do that, you can come back to the wholeness of who you always were. –Blake

4. Being able to speak and be listened to is something that sounds so small, and it's simple, but it's much more profoundly impactful than a lot of people recognize. –Zoe Chance

5. The first person who comes to our mind when we need something is much more likely to be a woman than a man… so there's all this male generosity that is potentially being wasted. And there's all this female burnout that is unnecessary. –Zoe Chance

How long have you been feeling stuck in your life or career? 

We’ve all heard that “change is hard”. It can certainly feel that way and our minds are capable of inventing countless obstacles that keep us from budging. 

But the truth is that you’ve seen other people create change and transform their lives. So that begs the question…what’s really holding you back? 

Today on The Bridge to FulfillmentⓇ, Blake challenges you to ask yourself the big question: 

What must I believe in order to keep doing this day after day?

In this episode, you’ll learn that your beliefs are the real culprit, and why shifting them is the first step toward transformation. You’ll discover where these limiting beliefs come from, and learn how you can start to shift those thoughts. You’ll hear how to stop blaming timing and circumstances and finally start to move in the direction of your true passion and purpose in life. 

The growth and transformation you seek starts and ends with you. 

What You’ll Learn:

• Why we work so hard but miss finding our purpose (4:34)

• Lessons from ascending into alignment (5:52)

• Considering how your beliefs might be shaping your inaction (10:11)

Favorite Quotes:

1. When we get to places in our lives and our careers where we're unfulfilled, one of the biggest mistakes is believing that we're stuck and that making a change and transforming into something else is risky, scary, or has to be hard.

2. There will never be a perfect time or perfect circumstance to create the change that you want.

3. Moving from a place of circumstances driving your life into a place of becoming the creator of your life means understanding that it all starts and stops with you. 

4. The people you see who've achieved things you want to achieve, they're not special. They're not different from you. What they have achieved is also possible for you.

Do you frequently wake up with a kink in your neck? Do you suffer from persistent headaches or bothersome back pain that you just can’t seem to shake? 

Health issues can be debilitating, but ultimately, these aches and pains are your body’s way of sending you a message. And if you take the hint and answer the call, then not only will you eventually find relief, but the root cause might surprise you. 

Today on The Bridge to FulfillmentⓇ, Blake welcomes Dr. Mel Krug to the show. In 2014, Dr. Mel’s life was radically transformed when she discovered the powerful healing benefits of Network Spinal Chiropractic Care.

• Re-tuning the frequency of your nervous system (40:00)

Favorite Quotes:

1. “The power of chiropractic is helping people return back home to what's always been there - it’s the body's ability to heal.” –Dr. Mel Krug

2. “Unless we get to the underlying wound and the trauma that we've experienced what There, it's mental, emotional, physical, and spiritual. Unless we address that in your neurology, we're only going to be scratching the surface of health.” –Dr. Mel Krug

3. “When you have a mind problem, you go to a psychiatrist, if you have a foot problem, you go to a podiatrist, if you have a heart problem, you go to a cardiologist, right? When in reality, what's the common denominator? It's your body and your central nervous system. And that's why I like to say body, mind or mind-body, because it's not separate. It's one unit.” –Dr. Mel Krug

4. “If you're unaware of how you feel, and you don't know how you feel in your body, that means that you've had trauma, and you've literally disassociated.” –Blake

Do you spend a lot of time focusing on how you’ll achieve your goals? 

This is the most common trap people fall into when setting goals, but the truth is that it rarely produces results. 

There is a better way to achieve your goals that feels a lot more fluid and a lot less stressful. 

Today on The Bridge to FulfillmentⓇ, Blake explains why this pre-planning so often backfires. In fact, it could actually be limiting your possibilities and preventing you from achieving your goals. 

In this episode, you’ll learn a better way to achieve your goals that focuses less on having a step-by-step plan and more on following in the direction of your North Star. You’ll hear about a different approach to goal-setting that helps you take the steps you need while gathering valuable information for the journey ahead. 

When you stop focusing on the how, you actually open up your options and expand the possibilities. 

What You’ll Learn:

• When having a plan actually works against you (1:40)

• What successful people have figured out (3:33)

• A new approach to achieving your goals (5:36)

• Why planning ahead isn’t always helpful (6:40)

• How this method reduces stress and opens up more possibilities (8:15)

Favorite Quotes:

1. This obsession we have about figuring out how something needs to happen is what keeps us stuck. 

2. When we approach every new circumstance with the perspective of having to know exactly what it should look like, then we drastically narrow the amount of choices we have because those choices can only fit in what we know. 

3. It's nearly impossible to create something different if you're only using the knowledge you have today.

4. When you remove having to know the how, you allow yourself to be open to an infinite number of possibilities.

Have you ever felt too afraid or uncomfortable to ask for a raise? 

As women, we’ve been brought up in a work culture built by men, and the march toward equality has been slow and sometimes not so steady. 

In order to gain equality and advocate for equal pay in a way that brings all women up, we have to first identify what it is that’s been holding us back. 

We have to begin to unpack the financial stories and money traumas that we might still be carrying into our corporate lives in order to feel comfortable with financial self-advocacy. 

Today on The Bridge to Fulfillment Ⓡ, Blake welcomes Janine Rogan, founder & CEO of the Wealth Building Academy Inc. She’s an award-winning CPA whose mission is to educate and empower women, helping them to confidently and profitably grow their wealth through financial feminism. She shares her wisdom globally as a keynote speaker and has been featured on TEDx. Her debut book, The Pink Tax, examines gender-based price discrimination.

In this episode, you’ll learn why women haven’t historically received the same type of mentoring as men, and how this affects our career and salary trajectories. You’ll learn what to do if you’re feeling undervalued in your workplace, and why it’s so important to provide hard data when advocating for a raise. Janine explains the “pink tax”, the subject of her new book, sharing how marketers get away with charging women more than men for everyday items. You’ll also hear why women today have far more power than we believe we do when it comes to shaping the workplaces of the future. 

What You’ll Learn:

• The uncomfortable truth that launched her mission to help women (5:04)

• What to do if you feel undervalued or underpaid (9:22)

• How money trauma can follow us into our adult lives (14:25)

• Why debt isn’t always a bad thing and how to leverage it (20:31)

• The real cost of unpaid care work (32:02)

Favorite Quotes:

1. Women aren't taught how to approach these things logically with data and information. I used to believe that my work would just speak for itself, instead of understanding that you have to be your own advocate. Blake

2. HR’s job is to get the best person as cheaply as possible. So, if you are willing to take the lowest amount, if you are the employee who always takes on more work, who will say yes to everything, you create the perception that you'll just do it. The more we are empowered with the right skills and knowledge and the more we stand up for our value, the more that won't happen anymore. Blake

3. As a society, we mentor men and women differently, and we tend to mentor women to focus on soft skills. And in a lot of cases, those skills aren't promotable, or those skills aren't hitting the billable hours or the revenue targets. Janine Rogan

4. We can erase the notion that debt is either good or bad. When we look at people who are extremely successful, they don't call it debt, they call it leverage. Janine Rogan

5. When we look systemically at women's involvement in their finances and their ability to borrow, I think there's also a conversation there around the high cost of being a woman. Janine Rogan
