Own Your Choices Own Your Life

In this episode, I reflect on the whirlwind of November and the profound journey I've experienced over the past seven years since the release of my book, "When She Stopped Asking Why." As we approach the end of 2024, I find myself in a space of both humility and challenge, grappling with personal issues that have led me to moments of burnout. Despite these struggles, I take a moment to celebrate the anniversary of my book, recognizing the growth and changes I've undergone since its release.

I dive into the essence of my book, which emerged from a desire to shift my perspective on my life experiences. The title itself encapsulates a pivotal moment in my journey—moving away from victimhood and embracing the lessons learned from my past. I share the backstory of writing the book during a tumultuous time, emphasizing that it was more than just a project; it was a means of processing my emotions and experiences.

Throughout the episode, I discuss the challenges of becoming an author, the pressure I placed on myself, and the healing that unfolded as I shared my story. I highlight the importance of vulnerability in writing and the necessity of overcoming the fear of judgment from others. I encourage listeners to recognize that their stories matter and can significantly impact others who may be struggling with similar challenges.

As I reflect on my journey, I acknowledge the mistakes made along the way, including the editing process that revealed errors even at the last minute. However, I emphasize that perfection is not the goal; it's about sharing our authentic selves and the lessons we've learned. I invite listeners to celebrate their past selves and the growth they've achieved, even amidst ongoing challenges.

Looking ahead, I express my excitement for the future and the work I am doing to help others share their stories. I announce an upcoming audio-based program that will guide aspiring authors through the process of writing and publishing their books, aiming to demystify the journey and empower them to embrace their voices.

In this episode of "The Heartbeat of My Business," we dive deep into the transformative journey of healing and expansion for high-impact growth. This is the second episode in our six-part series focused on the power of connecting with our masculine energy and the importance of healing in our entrepreneurial journeys.

I am joined by my co-host, Meghan Weir, a strategic performance coach who specializes in helping entrepreneurs transition from anxiety to being anchored, confident, and clear in their business pursuits. We kick off the episode by sharing our personal experiences and the significance of being in spaces that inspire us to think bigger. The core theme of the episode is release, expansion, and rise. We both share our personal journeys that led us to this work. We highlight the importance of releasing old beliefs and judgments that no longer serve us, allowing for greater expansion in our lives and businesses. I reflect on my journey of shedding self-criticism and old stories, which has opened up space for new opportunities and growth.

Throughout the episode, we emphasize the power of subconscious change work, particularly through modalities like Rapid Resolution Therapy (RRT) and Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP). We explain how these tools can help individuals break free from limiting beliefs and create lasting change. Meghan shares her experiences with clients who have experienced profound shifts in just a few sessions, illustrating the effectiveness of this work.

We aim to empower more women to share their voices and stories, ultimately amplifying their impact on the world.

In this episode, I am thrilled to welcome back Alejandra Brady, a feng shui expert, interior and biophilic designer, bestselling author, and crystal healer. Our conversation dives deep into the importance of creating a harmonious space as we approach the end of the year, especially in light of the recent challenges Alejandra faced with back-to-back hurricanes in Tampa, Florida.

As we transition into the holiday season, we discuss the significance of gift-giving and how it can often lead to clutter. Alejandra advocates for a more mindful approach to gifting, suggesting that we focus on quality over quantity. 

We also explore practical tips for decluttering and purging our spaces before the new year. Alejandra encourages listeners to clear out stagnant energy by decluttering decorations and items that no longer serve them. She provides actionable steps for cleaning and refreshing our homes, including the importance of clearing out old food from pantries and refrigerators, as well as checking the front door for welcoming energy.

Throughout the episode, Alejandra emphasizes the importance of maintaining positive energy in our homes, especially during the busy holiday season. She shares techniques for cleansing our spaces and ourselves, such as using crystals for protection and smudging to clear negative energy after gatherings.

In this episode, I dive into the transformative power of changing our perspectives, particularly through the lens of Neurolinguistic Programming (NLP). I share a realization I had recently: without altering our perspective, we cannot see our stories or circumstances in a new light. This episode is dedicated to exploring how shifting our viewpoint can unlock new opportunities for growth, healing, and self-discovery.

I begin by discussing the essence of NLP, which is fundamentally about understanding our mind's patterns and recognizing our blind spots. Our subconscious mind often operates on autopilot, replaying past experiences and limiting beliefs that keep us stuck in a comfort zone, even if that zone is uncomfortable. I emphasize the importance of reprogramming our inner narrative to change how we perceive our experiences and, ultimately, our reality.

One of the key techniques I introduce is subconscious timeline work. I explain how our subconscious does not recognize time, which means we can revisit past experiences and reframe them to create a more empowering narrative. By visualizing our future as if it has already happened, we can familiarize our subconscious with success and reduce the fear associated with pursuing new opportunities.

I also introduce the concept of perceptual positions, using the metaphor of watching a movie. By changing our viewpoint—whether as an observer in a theatre or as a distant camera operator—we can detach from the emotional intensity of our experiences. This shift allows us to gain insights and empathy, reducing stress and opening up new solutions that were previously hidden by our emotional responses.

Additionally, I discuss the technique of reframing, which involves changing the frame around our experiences to see them from a different angle. This simple yet powerful tool can transform obstacles into stepping stones, helping us to let go of limiting beliefs and embrace endless possibilities.

If you are ready to learn these tools, techniques and methods for changing your beliefs, thoughts and stories, I invite you into the OUTSPOKEN NLP Coaching Certification.

In this Heartbeat of My Business Podcast Series, I am thrilled to welcome my dear friend and strategic performance coach, Meghan Weir. Together, we dive deep into the fascinating topic of balancing masculine structure with feminine flow in business. This is the first episode of our 6 Part Podcast Series for the HeartWired CEO Mastermind. Our conversation is rich with insights and personal experiences, making it a must-listen for entrepreneurs seeking to harmonize these energies in their work.

We kick off the episode by introducing ourselves and sharing our backgrounds. Meghan explains her passion for helping entrepreneurs transition from anxiety to being anchored, confident, and clear in their business pursuits. She emphasizes the importance of embodying the principles she teaches, which stems from her journey of discovering the missing pieces in her business strategy.

Reflecting on our shared experiences, we reminisce about meeting in an online mastermind over four years ago. Both of us entered that space feeling overwhelmed and uncertain, despite the wealth of knowledge available. We discuss the lack of intimacy in large group settings and how it can leave participants feeling ungrounded, even when learning valuable skills.

I share my journey as an NLP trainer and how I help individuals reprogram their thoughts and beliefs. We both acknowledge the challenges we faced during the pandemic, which forced us to pivot our businesses online. Meghan and I explored the idea that while we learned a lot from our mastermind experience, we were both craving a deeper connection and understanding of how to integrate feminine energy into our work.

Meghan explains the concept of sealing the cracks in our foundational beliefs, and how limiting beliefs and past traumas can hinder our growth. We discuss the importance of subconscious change work and somatic release to unlock our true potential. I share my business and personal transformation over the past year, highlighting how I have shifted from a place of fear and anxiety to one of empowerment and creativity.

Throughout the episode, we emphasize the significance of combining masculine structure with feminine flow. We discuss how rigid structures can stifle creativity and how allowing space for intuition and emotional expression can lead to greater success in business. Meghan and I both reflect on our growth and the importance of community and support in our journeys.

Towards the end of the episode, we announce our exciting new collaboration: the HeartWired CEO mastermind. This 12-month journey will blend both masculine and feminine energies, providing a supportive environment for entrepreneurs to thrive. We invite listeners to reach out with any questions and encourage them to join us in this transformative experience. See the HeartWired CEO Mastermind Trailer. Click HERE

In this episode, I had the pleasure of welcoming Avalon Moans, a talented photographer specializing in helping female small business owners become the confident face of their brands. Our conversation began with a nostalgic reflection on our first meeting at a networking event, where I encouraged Avalon to share her story and record it. This moment marked a significant turning point for her, as it helped her gain confidence in articulating her message.

Avalon shared her transformative journey, highlighting how stepping out of her comfort zone by volunteering at networking events opened doors to a supportive community of entrepreneurs. We discussed the importance of building connections and how offering services for free can lead to invaluable experiences and relationships. Avalon emphasized that trusting your intuition, even when others advise against it, can lead to incredible opportunities.

As we delved deeper into Avalon's work, she explained her unique approach to photography, which goes beyond aesthetics. She focuses on helping her clients embody their future selves through intentional and powerful imagery. Avalon believes that photography can serve as a manifestation tool, allowing clients to visualize and step into the business owners they aspire to be.

We also touched on Avalon's personal growth, discussing her past struggles with anxiety and self-doubt. She shared a poignant story about overcoming her fear of driving on the highway, which ultimately led her to confront deeper beliefs about her self-worth and ability to care for herself. This revelation was a powerful reminder of the importance of addressing the root causes of our fears and limiting beliefs.

As we wrapped up our conversation, Avalon expressed her vision for the future, including the desire to expand her photography business into a full-service brand agency. She aims to create workshops and spaces that foster community and support for fellow entrepreneurs.

This episode is a heartfelt exploration of personal growth, the power of storytelling, and the transformative impact of stepping into one's authentic self. Avalon's journey is an inspiring reminder that our stories can change at any moment, and with the right support and mindset, we can achieve our dreams.

In this episode, I dive deep into the significance of our thoughts and how they shape our reality. I emphasize the importance of owning our thoughts and stories, explaining that they will own us if we don’t take control. I discuss the concept that we cannot outthink how our bodies feel, highlighting the disconnect many experiences between our conscious thoughts and subconscious emotions. I encourage listeners to recognize when fear or anxiety arises and to understand that these feelings are often rooted in past experiences and trapped emotions.

Throughout the episode, I stress the necessity of tuning into our bodies to release these stuck emotions, which can hinder our ability to create change and connect with others. I share insights on maintaining a regulated nervous system, which is crucial for holding space for ourselves and others on stage or in everyday conversations.

I also touch on my experiences as a speaker, illustrating how being in tune with my emotions allowed me to connect more authentically with my audience. I encourage listeners to find their own "stage" in daily interactions and to practice being present and empathetic in their conversations.

Finally, I share a resource for listeners—a free audio subliminal and hypnosis guide designed to help connect with their higher selves below in the show notes.

In this quick Friday episode, I dive into the art of handling comments like a pro, whether they come from in-person interactions or the online world. 

I recount a recent experience with a client who was struggling with negative online comments. It became clear that she was internalizing these remarks, interpreting them as personal attacks, even when they weren't directed at her. I emphasize the importance of recognizing that comments often stem from the speaker's own perspective and experiences, not necessarily reflecting our worth or abilities.

I outline several techniques for handling comments effectively: Reframe for Understanding; Neutral Acknowledgment; Clarifying Questions; and Pattern Interrupt: 

I stress the power of language in shaping our responses and maintaining our personal power. By mastering these techniques, we can navigate comments with confidence and ease, ensuring that we focus our energy on those who truly deserve our attention.

I also highlight the differences between handling comments in person versus online, noting that people often feel emboldened to say things online that they wouldn't say face-to-face. I encourage listeners to set boundaries and protect their energy by blocking or deleting unconstructive comments.

As I wrap up the episode, I stress the power of language in shaping our responses and maintaining our personal power. By mastering these techniques, we can navigate comments with confidence and ease, ensuring that we focus our energy on those who truly deserve our attention.

In this episode, I dive deep into the transformative journey of balancing masculine and feminine energies, particularly in building a successful business. Reflecting on my past experiences, I share how I spent much of my life operating solely in masculine energy—characterized by grit, tenacity, and a relentless push for results. While these traits are undeniably important, I realized that they often led me to cycles of burnout and disconnection from my true self.

I recount my recent experience as a keynote speaker at the High Vibe Summit, where I faced personal challenges just days before the event. Despite feeling overwhelmed, I was determined to connect with the 145 women in attendance through a group hypnosis session aimed at helping them step into their highest selves. This episode highlights the evolution of my speaking style—from a rigid, memorized approach to one that embraces flexibility and flow.

A pivotal moment occurred just before I took the stage. I drew a card that read "forgiveness." This card resonated deeply with me, prompting an emotional release that allowed me to connect authentically with the audience. I discuss how this experience taught me the importance of being present and open to the unexpected rather than clinging to a strict plan.

Throughout the episode, I explore the benefits and limitations of both masculine and feminine approaches. The masculine energy provides structure, clarity, and accountability, while the feminine energy fosters creativity, intuition, and connection. A successful business requires a harmonious blend of both energies, allowing growth and transformation.

I also share how embracing my feminine energy has led to significant personal and professional growth, including a remarkable increase in my business success. By letting go of the need for control and anchoring into trust, I have opened myself up to new opportunities and deeper connections with my audience.

HIGHLIGHTS 00:00:12 - Masculine vs. Feminine Energy 00:00:46 - Keynote Speaker Experience 00:02:00 - The Importance of Connection 00:03:24 - Balancing Masculine and Feminine Energy 00:05:00 - Embracing Feminine Energy 00:06:14 - The Power of Intuition
