👑Upgrade Your Identity to More Success, Passion and Happiness

Now that Summer and Labor Day are behind us, it is time to return to real life! It doesn’t have to be a drag and this year could actually be your best Back to Work yet. Really? But How?!

🪇Shake Things Up

My first advice is to shake things up. You don’t have to go back to the same routine than last year. I know, you have read that Zuckerberg dresses in the same way everyday to avoid taking needless decisions. That is why he looks like a dork and seems to really have a lot of fun in his life (yes this is ironic!).

So what about a refresh of your wardrobe, home and office decor, or haircut? You don’t have to return to your old self!🙍

👩‍🚀Upgrade Your Identity

And this is the most important part of having MORE Success, Passion and Happiness in your life: you need to have an identity congruent with Success, Passion and Happiness. And no, Mommy or Daddy jeans don’t scream Success, Passion and Happiness. Nor does the same freaking routine day in, day out.

So, are you ready to shed the same old, same old, boring, small identity that was built for you decades after decades? Yes?! Fabulous!

Now we can do something together!💃🏻

🚀Takeoff with Me

Drumroll! I launched coaching services based on The Microdose Diet protocol to help you uplevel your identity, your life and your career.

And if you are thinking “No Peggy I don’t want to take psychedelics, they are awfully bad and I am a good person”, once again fret not! I am working with the same clinic that developed the Brain Power Microdose to develop the “MORE! Microdose”, a product 100% legal, registered with Health Canada, with no psychedelics in sight, and a formulation mimicking the results of the Brain Power Microdose.

So what does it look like to work with me. First there is a start and end date: it lasts 3 months. Second, you will get a mix of support with a One-on-One Coaching package including:

- 6 Hours of Private Coaching with Peggy (aka ME!),

- 2 Bottles of Brain Power Microdose (more than enough to follow the protocol)

- The Book “MORE! The Microdose Diet.”

- The Online Course “The Microdose Diet.”

For a small investment of US$5,500. Yes you definitely are worth that, and if you think you don’t, then you really need to sign up right f#$%ing now!

If you have friends and decide that you want to do it with them, that is a fabulous idea. Nothing better than growing with your inner circle and the peer support is priceless. The length and content of the package are the same, it is just cheaper per person (Investment: US$3,500-4,000 per person based on group size). 

You can opt for the self-directed online course (several options from US$900-US$1,900) or for the book (US$18) combined with the Brain Power Microdose (US$89/bottle). If you are interested by the new MORE! Microdose (no psychedelics, 100% legal, registered with Health Canada) reach out to be put on the waitlist.

So really, what excuse do you have not to make 2024 the best back to work ever? Absolutely none.

What identity do you want?!? I think the kick-ass guy/gal with More Success, Passion and Happiness in their life and career!

🪄Two magical products serendipity brought my way: Soulera & VK from NuYgen

If you are listening to this podcast you want MORE of your life, and to get MORE in your life you need to be 💯 !

In the same vein of life-changing products I came across 2 products that have really been game changer for me. And no I am not paid to write about them🙂

Soulera helps with stress management, and it totally delivers on that front. 

However this was not the only magic Soulera had to offer… it actually totally helped with curbing my sugar cravings.🧁 That, my friend, is almost better than stress management!!

VK is super helpful to boost your immunity and here as well I discovered another amazing effect - a fabulous cure to overindulgence in food and alcohol!! 😀

I highly highly recommend you give it a try. As always no downside here, just the opportunity to get MORE out of your life! 💪 Because let’s be honest, to get MORE out of life, you need to be at 💯!

🛣️Breaking Free from Emotional Programming to Follow Your True Path

There’s a piece of advice that always makes me cringe: “Follow your gut!” This advice assumes that your intuition is perfectly calibrated.
But what if your gut has been programmed to send you the wrong signals?
When your intuition has been shaped by years of living up to others’ expectations, it can send you into a tailspin of guilt, shame, and confusion. 
Instead of moving toward what lights you up, you stay in the safety of what you know, even if it’s not what you need.
So, how do you recalibrate your radar?

🔒Releasing the Emotional Charge
Therapy alone isn’t enough to break free from the emotional charges that keep you stuck. This is where somatic tools come into play. They work on a deeper level, helping to release the emotional weight you’ve been carrying, sometimes for years, maybe even decades.
I didn’t develop The Microdose Diet just for kicks—I created it because I was tired of feeling good only when I was being the “good girl” I was programmed to be.
I knew I needed something more, something that would help me create space in my life to finally breathe, to finally be me.
It’s about deprogramming those outdated emotions that keep you stuck, and reprogramming them to embrace what you truly deserve.
It’s about stepping into a life that’s aligned with your true self, free from the constraints of what you’ve been told you should be.
You have nothing to lose except the outdated programs that no longer serve you. 
Recalibrating your gut isn’t just about following your intuition; it’s about balancing it with reason, free from the chains of outdated programming.

Discover the Power of Self-Worth in Transforming Your Life

Complimenting one seemed to take something away from another.
It felt like we were operating in a zero-sum game where complimenting one means criticizing another.

We’ve all felt that sting when a friend or coworker gets complimented, whether they are present or not.

In response, I often see the protective mechanism of overcompensating from the “witness” of the compliment.

I’ve been caught in similar situations, thinking that a compliment not addressed to me was an attack. 

Usually, compliments are just that—compliments.

So why do we feel “less than” when someone else is complimented in our presence?

The answer is self-worth, specifically a wobbly intrinsic self-worth.

I realized that high well-being and ethical success depend on one’s level of intrinsic self-worth. In The Microdose Diet protocol, the highest intention one can have is to increase their self-generated self-worth.

I lead you through a 90-day program that supports this intention and enables you to go to the next level of self-worth.

The best way to lead a successful, passionate, and happy life is to have a high degree of self-worth.

People with high self-worth are grounded, self-confident, and don’t need to diminish others to elevate themselves.

Life is much more pleasant when you trust yourself and know you can do it, whatever “it” is.

There’s no need to feel threatened when someone else is complimented. You know your worth is independent of others. And that freedom, my friend, is an incredible feeling!

Unlock Your Full Potential: Embrace a Body-Mind-Spirit 360 Approach

I have been a personal development enthusiast (some might say addict) for more than 25 years and this is something I wished I had learnt earlier: to be successful, really successful you have to enroll your mind, for sure, but also your body and your spirit.

Here’s why a Body-Mind-Spirit 360 Approach is essential.

🧍Healing the Body
Our bodies store our traumas.

😇 Enriching the Spirit
Spiritual growth supports emotional, mental, and social development, providing a deeper foundation for overall personal growth.

🧠 Nurturing the Mind
Intellectual growth, emotional regulation, and mental clarity are vital, but they are just one piece of the puzzle.

🍄The Role of Microdosing Psychedelics
Microdosing psychedelics, particularly psilocybin, has emerged as a powerful tool for supporting mind, body, and spirit in personal growth.

By adopting a Body-Mind-Spirit 360 Approach, you create a strong, interconnected foundation for growth. You’ll find that your efforts in one area will enhance the others, creating a synergistic effect that propels you toward your goals with greater ease and joy.

So, as you continue your journey, remember to nourish not just your mind, but your body and spirit as well.

Books provide fabulous insights on topics we might not otherwise learn about. Understanding how to spot narcissists and narcissistic behaviors, as well as how to handle these bullies, is definitely a subject worth knowing more about.

🫢“It’s Not You” by Dr Ramani Durvasula
This book is great to educate yourself on narcissism. 
- Love Bombing,
- Death by a Thousand Cuts,
- Difficulty with Relationships.

🤺"Slay the Bully" by Rebecca Zung
This book is great when you have to negotiate with narcissists. 
- Baiting,
- Exploitative Behaviors.

🐐“Growing Up as the Scapegoat to Narcissistic Parents” by Jay Reid
Illusion of Grandeur,
Isolation,
Control.

These behaviors when taken individually might not raise the alarm but put together start to show a very different picture. These 3 books will give you a great education on detecting and handling narcissists. If you don’t know the patterns you are likely to become collateral damage.

I want to leave you with some food for thoughts…Narcissists have a special knack at picking their victims. They rarely go for well grounded, confident, assertive people. Now the question for you is: “Do you have narcissists in your life? What made them pick you? What do you want to do about it?”

High self-worth is the best antidote to narcissists. Not only will they less likely be attracted to you (a big win), but when faced with one you will without any doubt see them for what they are and continue on your merry way. 

The Microdose Diet can help you with that!
