It is officially Autumn, and as we gear up for Thanksgiving, I have been thinking about something that might just change so much for you. When I mention Thanksgiving, you're probably thinking about those family gatherings that either warm your heart or make you cringe. We all have that one person, like my client's brother-in-law, who seems to ruin every occasion, but here's the revelation - it's not their actions but rather our thoughts about their actions that shape our experience.

This is the very Thought Work that I teach my clients, the power to distinguish between facts and the meaning we assign them. It sounds simple, but it's profound. Beliefs are ultimately just thoughts we've repeated, and if you can intentionally adopt new thoughts, your whole world shifts.

Join me this week as I delve into the art of changing your beliefs, not just to navigate Thanksgiving drama but ultimately to empower your life. It's about taking control of your own narrative, one thought at a time.

Show Highlights

• it's our thoughts, not events, that influence our emotions

• understanding the difference between facts and beliefs

• how to practice new thoughts to reshape beliefs

• how questioning and exploring beliefs pave the way for transformation

• your mind’s power is the ultimate key

Listen in today as I dive deep into the essence of what it means to be human: having wants and desires. Desire is more than just a yearning; it's a fundamental force that shapes our lives, and I unravel the layers of our wants, exploring how they define us, push us to grow, and connect us to the universe's creative energy. I encourage you to challenge the notion that wanting is inherently negative, inviting you to embrace your desires as sacred whispers guiding you towards your true self. From the simple joys that bring a smile to your face to the audacious dreams that seem out of reach, discover the power of wanting from a place of abundance rather than scarcity, igniting your potential and enriching your journey, so settle in and join me on this exploration as we learn not just to want but to want boldly, unapologetically, and authentically, to listen to those whispers.

Show Highlights

• embrace desires as sacred whispers guiding personal growth

• how wanting from abundance enriches your quality of life

• encouragement to challenge societal norms and liberate your desires from judgment

• desires connect us to the higher mind and to creative energy
