"Show the mind that you're okay in failure... then the mechanism goes away."

David lost his mother at 9 and became a driven entrepreneur but found himself $350K in debt and dependent on alcohol. His breakthrough came when he realized the truth behind his drinking: "I'm worried that if I quit drinking, I'm not going to be cool anymore."

This moment of honesty sparked 14 years of sobriety and complete transformation. The game-changer? "Once I became the state that I thought money was going to bring me before the money was even there, the money began to flow into my life."

That harsh voice isn't your enemy, it's a misguided protector. The solution isn't silencing it, but showing your mind you can handle failure.

Takeways:

• Feel the state first - Become who success would make you, before it arrives

• Embrace discomfort - Healing happens when you stop avoiding difficult emotions

• Start within - Transform yourself and watch your world shift

"I am so inherently loved just for being here, just for being me."

Join host Kristi Simons in conversation with Emily Lewis (Emily the Mystic), a spiritual teacher, healer, and Akashic Records practitioner from Philadelphia. Emily shares her journey from being an inner rebel in Catholic school to becoming a full-time spiritual guide who helps women connect with their authentic selves at a soul level.

On authenticity:

"Don't be afraid to be you. It always works out."

On navigating fear:

"I am not going to let fear hold me back."

On self-worth:

"I am so inherently loved just for being here, just for being me."

On healing:

"I see it as an opportunity for growth. Life is my playground."

• Embrace your authentic rebel spirit - What makes you different is your superpower

• Fear and anxiety are navigable - They don't have to hold you back from your purpose

• Healing doesn't have to be heavy - Approach growth with curiosity and playfulness

• You are enough exactly as you are - Self-worth comes from within, not from being needed by others

• Life brings exactly what you need - Trust the process and see challenges as opportunities
