This episode is a radio interview where Richard Duggan, host of Tell Me Your Story, interviews Teri Wade about The Evolving Artist.

Here's a breakdown of what's covered:

3:22 - Artists are in the most powerful position to make an impact in the world. Facing rejection while being sensitive isn’t easy.

7:10 - “energy vampires” and “dream-crushers”

10:25 - Deep-down you know what you’re here to do, but shrink from it because there are so many scary things that can come with doing what you’re meant to do.

14:10 - Your purpose, and how it evolves. Lowering resistance to growth, opening new creative channels.

21:08 History isn’t set in stone, it’s actually fluid and changeable.

25:25 Re-tell your past in a way that changes your future.

26:04 People say “just write a new story for yourself,” but you have to gain control of the story you’re already carrying inside. A more empowered story is a more honest story.

33:55 - The Essential Life Story

35:45 - We are all artists, and our greatest work of art is the life we’re creating every day.

42:25 - Surrender to the manifestation of what you have been calling forth…it doesn’t always come in the way you expect it to.

47:50 - Feel Better Letters Program: Your most challenging relationships can change in a heartbeat. Your relationships are a reflection of what’s happening inside…one person has the power to shift those dynamics.”

54:20 - How to tell if the guidance in your head is intuition or something else.

1:01:01 - “Until your experiences are fully integrated into your life as a whole, they won’t help you or continue occurring.”

1:04:05 - “that’s the story of my life…" When the story is not working in your favor, it’s time for it to evolve.

In this podcast you'll hear me (Teri Wade) facilitate a Mindset Repatterning™ session for actor Micah Fitzgerald who had just moved to Hollywood to pursue his dreams.

He was struggling with a lot of negative thoughts when he walked into an audition and berating himself for the mistakes he made when he walked out.

We identified the mindset that he NEEDED to have instead, and flipped the switch that turned him into a booking machine.

He's since racked up 98 credits on iMDB and counting.

Here's a breakdown of the episode:

1:50 - Results from his previous Mindset Repatterning session.

3:30 - Mental flogging about losing money he’d planned on advancing his career with/self-sabotage.

4:50 - We experience what we’re a fit for.

6:15 - Being treated unjustly in prior workplace.

8:18 - “We tend to carry into a new situation what we haven’t resolved in the last one.”

9:15 - Wanting to be rewarded for contributions; wanting credit for what he did

10:30 - Same patterns keep repeating.

12:15 - Ready to take back control of circumstances and accept and forgive.

13:00 - It’s a good thing that we can’t forgive until we shifted the pattern.

13:45 - Feeling “used” as an actor, not being valued.

16:00 - What losing the money prevented him from doing.

18:40 - What losing the money allowed him to do; the benefit to being stuck.

20:45 - Avoiding making decisions.

24:45 - “Sometimes you learn what you don’t want, before you learn what you do.”

25:54 - “If you learn from your mistake, then it wasn’t a mistake… it was education.”

29:00 - Being excited about things, but then all sorts of issues with it come up… “I should’ve done this…” or “should’ve said that…”

34:25 - Everything comes down to your self-perception.

35:15 - Should you expect not to get the job after the audition?

45:04 - Getting clear on what you want in your career.

50:25 - Operating from a place of strength…not necessarily about talent or skill in the art.

51:04 - Sabotaging yourself by “getting ready to get ready.”

52:50 - Feeling intimidated/overwhelmed at first… not knowing how to talk to people or how to present yourself, and how to become more genuine.

1:00:00 - Why Teri works with artists.

1:05:15 - Creating the shift: going back to 4-year-old self and how he felt about dad.

1:08:15 - I see you, I’m here for you, and everything’s gonna work out. You can count on me.

1:11:00 - Repeating statements back… all on!

In this episode, you'll hear me (Teri Wade) facilitate a Mindset Repatterning™ session for actor Micah Fitzgerald who had just moved to LA to pursue his dreams.

We identified the block to success that he had inherited from his dad, and cleared it in the session. He landed his first role in a feature film two weeks later.

Since then, he's amassed 98 credits on iMDB and counting.

Here's a breakdown of the episode:

1:58 Setting intention around home life

2:25 Need to feel at ease in living situation to find focus, clarity, motivation

3:06 “I’m not where I want to be.”

6:20 What problem he is experiencing: finances/money. “I have a mountain of debt.”

9:40 No judgment. Empathy for what’s happening.

10:47 Focusing on opportunities instead of obstacles.

12:12 What do you want instead of “huge backpack of problems”? -- “Success, feelings of fulfillment, living up to my potential.”

15:15 Reason we’re not experiencing the good things we want -- underlying, unconscious reasons: What might happen that’s terrible if good things are true?

17:45 What might happen that’s negative if you’re happy? “I’d have to let go of being unhappy… Used to problems… Being disappointed in myself.”

19:00 Worry that you’ll get used to it and then it’ll go away.

20:10 The Big Leap -- upper limit problems

21:40 Comfortable with pattern (disappointment, etc) usually because of same challenges in family -- maybe too different from them; or maybe just habit

23:45 Creating alternate, positive replacement statements important.

27:23 Trying to let it evolve, not push it too much

30:15 Going back to age 3, what was going on with father? Memory blocks.

33:33 Feeling absence of father -- hole there, felt absent

34:35 No guide or example because of absence of father

37:30 What you want in terms of finances: “Completely independent… live enjoyable lifestyle.”

42:50 What need/want in terms of career: “Doing voiceover work for motion pictures, film, TV, ads -- using voice as instrument. Doing feature films as working actor. Working in print world. Doing own CD as vocalist in world music. Exploring myself as an artist.”

51:50 Switch doubts through modality: going back to 3-year-old time, experience things differently to meet needs that weren’t met then

53:57 Imagine what it would have been like if he could have told his dad he felt lost… what could he have told you that would’ve made all the difference: “Don’t worry… I’ll show you how to do it. Other people feel the same way. Everything will be ok.”

58:37 Mother didn’t provide structure and discipline (like father may have)

59:10 Delivering message from “ideal dad” -- “I’m sorry I haven’t been there for you like you needed me to be. It had nothing to do with you, it was because of my own problems. But I’ve gotten the help I needed and am ready to be there for you now. I’m right here. Everything’s gonna be ok. You’re a special and unique person and I see that.”

1:04:20 Appreciation: “I appreciate having a mirror to see how I’m thinking about myself… a gauge of where my mind is. Being able to verbalize it. Helping get closer to being at peace with father stuff.”

1:05:55 Appreciation from Teri: “Openness to process. Close to great changes… Appreciate you going for your dreams.”

1:07:30 Inspiring people -- important part of his dream

1:09:10 Not just for him -- for a much larger audience of others with the same patterns to shift because of his openness
