Briony McKenzie is an NLP Master Coach, Hypnotherapist, and founder of two coaching businesses: Untapped and The Social Experiment. But before she did this she was a corporate lawyer. In this episode I sit down with Briony and learn what inspired the huge transition, and how she stayed true to herself along the way.
Words from Briony:
“We can’t go out and create anything in the world until we understand ourselves. We are the source of everything.”
In this episode, we talk about:
- The now or never moment which led her to handing in her resignation from her corporate job to pursue coaching
- The first steps to take when you know your corporate job is no longer in alignment
- The freedom that comes from surrender
- The importance of revealing your core values
- The sunk cost fallacy of ‘giving up’
- Being a student of the work, forever
- The importance of integration and embodiment in embedding change. Doing only ‘one thing’ every day towards your goal.
- How to find freedom within discipline
- The distinction between deep work and shallow work and how to implement
- Her adult ‘star chart’
- How she’s pushing through her resistance to meditation
- How pure serendipity led her to meet her soulmate earlier this year
- Her years hiding an eating disorder from her friends and family
