Please note: This episode contains strong language. In this episode, we have my hubby Nick back on the show to talk about recent updates on his own podcast The Brutal Barron Show, our thoughts on limiting beliefs, rejection, and well, we go on a lot of tangents.

Episode 6 is part 3 of a 3-part mini lesson series tackling limiting beliefs. This episode wraps up everything we learned in episodes 4 and 5, and confronts false beliefs head-on in order to debunk them and prove how untrue they are. I also take you through an exercise you can do yourself in order to anchor new beliefs to replace the false ones that no longer serve you. These emotional skills lay down a strong foundation so that our creative entrepreneurial endeavors can truly succeed and flourish. Find more on https://marshabarrondesign.com/slowseasonspodcast.

This episode is part 2 of a 3-part mini lesson series on dismantling our limiting beliefs that interfere with our creative endeavors and sabotage us from reaching our full potential. Episode 5 includes a hypnosis/timeline therapy session, which will aid in releasing our limiting beliefs so that we can free ourselves of them and start to anchor new beliefs in their place. The hypnosis session in this episode is my own rendition of hypnotherapy techniques I have learned in the past, and greatly influenced by my own teachers Mark Yuzuik, Michael Stevenson of Transform Destiny and Matt Brauning.

It’s about to get weird… in a good way!

In Part 1 today, we are uncovering what limiting beliefs are and the common ones we hear in a creative career/path. Limiting beliefs are the stories we tell ourselves, that hold us back from realizing our full potential in all areas of life. We will begin to unlock what these are for us, become neutral observers of our thoughts and belief systems and then take steps to tackle them so that we can start to thrive in both our careers and personal life. Part 2 of this mini-lesson will be released in episode 5. Please note: semi-strong language is used in this episode.

This week, with the full moon energy in full swing, I was thinking about my own art journey, where I’ve been, the pains I’ve endured, and where I am now. I hope that this trip down memory lane helps you in your own creative journey and emphasizes the point I’m trying to make in that we all go through the valley of the shadow of doubt, each and every one of us. It is part of the process of creating something wonderful and something worthwhile. To learn more about Bonnie Christine visit bonniechristine.com or surfacepatterndesigners.com (not sponsored).
