Well, there’s a growing body of evidence tying exercise to your brain's capacity for learning and problem-solving that could change the way you deal with mental blocks.

Today on the road to changing our lives, we are joined by Ben Ahrens, a chronic illness recovery expert, TEDx Speaker, Neuroplasticity coach, and co-founder of re-origin. Ben was a former trainer and semi-professional surfer who became bedridden with Chronic Neurological Lyme Disease for over 3 years. In his search to help heal himself, Ben sought out and consulted with top neuroscientists and cutting-edge doctors from all over the world. His successful recovery led him to work with these same neuroscientists to develop the program that became re-origin. Then he came across neuroplasticity which changed his life.

Have a listen on how neuroplasticity can help change your brain.

Are your beliefs limiting your ability to progress in your career and reach your goals? The truth is beliefs either empower – or limit us. But the choice is yours. 

In this episode, parenting expert and limiting belief coach, Shelly Lefkoe explains how you can actually rewrite your belief system and live a fulfilling life. WATCH THE FULL YOUTUBE EPISODE HERE: https://youtu.be/a2jCQfvyJ6k 

Shelly Lefkoe is the co-author of the soon-to-be-published book “Self Made: The Surprising Solution to Success,” co-written with serial entrepreneur, Vahan Yepremyan. After her husband Morty Lefkoe passed away in 2015, she had to run her business without him for the first time. 

One of the most interesting things about Shelly's work is that she focuses on training parents to raise kids that have healthy beliefs about the world. These kids grow up being unstoppable. They grow up loving life and avoid many of the issues regular people develop from bad childhood indoctrination.

Shelly has mastered the process of personal change herself, having helped thousands of people over the past 30 years. She has an engaging approach to speaking and presenting. Her talks often get standing ovations. Her podcast appearances have been popular with many hosts asking her to return. She uses stories, analogies, and her enthusiasm to keep audiences fully engaged.

Letting go of negative limiting beliefs can be a tough process. Tune in and discover how you can rewrite your belief system.
