Can water fasting cure cancer?
After two decades in Western oncology, Dr. Katie Deming, MD walked away from the system—because she saw what no one wanted to say out loud:

- The case of a woman whose brain tumor vanished after a 17-day fast

If you're wondering how to get hypnosis clients when you're just starting out, this is the truth about my start.
I’m sharing exactly how I got my first hypnosis clients, what I did right (and very wrong), and why I no longer offer mentorship outside of my own certified students.
In this episode, you’ll hear:
- 🚫 Why I stopped offering mentorship (and what most new hypnotists are missing)
- 🌀 The truth about what my first training didn’t prepare me for
- 💡 What I did before I ever ran an ad or had a website
- 🧠 The emotional blindspots many hypnosis clients bring in—and how I learned to see them
- 🎯 Why coaching business advice for hypnotists doesn’t work (and what does)
- 🔥 The worst advice I got as a new hypnotist—and how it slowed me down

You’ve probably heard the phrase: “It’s always the nice ones.” And maybe, like me, you once thought that was a compliment.
But it’s not.
That phrase haunted me during my years in healthcare, whispered between nurses and doctors when patients who “did everything right” still ended up with the worst outcomes. And now, after years of working with high-achieving women as a hypnotist, I understand exactly why that happens.
In this episode, I’m getting real about the hidden cost of being the nice one—the self-sacrificer, the peacekeeper, the one who puts everyone else first. I walk you through how people-pleasing and emotional suppression don’t just exhaust you mentally… they actually impact your nervous system, your hormones, your immune response, and your genetic expression.
Here’s what we’re diving into:
- Why N.I.C.E. = Neglecting Inner Compass Every day—and how that pattern forms
- How childhood conditioning wires us to seek validation through self-abandonment
- What chronic low-level stress does to your immune system, cortisol, and long-term health
- The real reason women get stuck in “doing what’s expected” even when it makes them miserable
- Why it’s not selfish to choose your joy—it’s necessary for vitality
This is about more than mindset. Your body knows when you're out of alignment. And the longer you override your intuition in order to be good, pleasing, or acceptable, the more strain you place on your system.
I share how hypnosis helps clients release these subconscious patterns—whether it’s perfectionism, over-giving, guilt, or the fear that they’re only lovable when they’re useful. You’ll hear how even identity-level beliefs, like “I’m responsible for everyone’s happiness,” can finally be released when the subconscious feels safe enough to let go.
It’s not about becoming someone new—it’s about becoming who you were before the world told you to be nice.

🎧 Related episode: Episode 193 – Why Hypnosis Works When Therapy Doesn’t (with Christian Skoorsmith)
In this episode, Penny breaks down why so many people end up stuck in familiar patterns—even after therapy, mindset work, or personal development. You’ll learn what most methods miss: that your subconscious identity, formed through emotional imprinting, is what truly drives your behavior.
When your subconscious doesn’t feel safe becoming someone new, no amount of motivation or habit-stacking will create lasting change.
Key topics we explore:
- Why affirmations, habits, and mindset tools have limits
- How subconscious identity is wired for safety, not success
- What early emotional imprints have to do with people-pleasing, fixing, and self-sabotage
- Why hypnosis isn’t about force—it’s about alignment
- How theta state activates the hippocampus for memory and emotional shifts
- The real reason clients circle back to old patterns (and how to help them break free)
Whether you’re a practitioner or someone craving a deeper shift, this episode will reshape how you understand change—and why hypnosis is the most ethical and effective path for identity-level transformation.

What if your AI isn’t channeling your higher self—but just echoing your own bias? In this mini-masterclass, Penny Chiasson peels back the seductive illusion of artificial intelligence as a spiritual advisor and reveals what’s really going on under the hood.
From misusing AI as a substitute for inner work to the subtle ways language models reinforce confirmation bias, Penny unpacks how discernment—not dependency—is your true spiritual superpower.
You’ll hear why AI can never replace intuition, why well-meaning humans still plant dangerous suggestions, and how even consciousness-coded tools require your awareness to be used with integrity. She also shares her evolving opinion after encountering a voice clone infused with frequency and what that could mean for the future of AI in conscious creation.
Whether you’re a curious tech user, a spiritual seeker, or a practitioner in the transformation space, this episode will challenge your assumptions and call you back to your inner knowing.
- Why AI is not—and cannot be—your soul’s voice
- How even spiritual-sounding AI outputs are reflections of human content, not divine downloads
- The false sense of growth AI can create when used without discernment
- What to ask AI instead to reconnect with your truth
- How one conscious tech innovator flipped Penny’s perspective on AI-generated frequency
- And why silence—not scrolling—is the portal to your deepest wisdom

What happens when a top sales leader turns inward, rewires her patterns, and reclaims her identity? The answer might surprise you.
In this intimate episode of The Soul Fusion Podcast, Penny sits down with certified hypnotist and entrepreneur Tina Madsen for a powerful conversation on what it really takes to shift your identity, regulate your nervous system, and live from a place of presence—even in the chaos of parenting, ADHD, and building a life that actually feels good.
Tina’s journey is not just inspiring—it’s a masterclass in resilience, self-leadership, and what happens when you finally learn how to work with your subconscious mind instead of against it. With a background as a former elite athlete and global sales leader (top 1% in her company), Tina knew how to perform. But it wasn’t until she said yes to hypnosis that she learned how to be at ease in her body, mind, and life.
And yes… something is shifting behind the scenes of the Soul Fusion world. There’s more unfolding in this episode than just Tina’s personal story. 👀
Inside this episode: * How ADHD became a catalyst for transformation—not a limitation * What Tina really discovered during Penny’s hypnosis certification * Why ease is not about doing less, but thinking differently * The key difference between knowing what to change—and being able to do it * What happens when identity, embodiment, and subconscious rewiring come together
If you’ve ever felt like you’re doing all the right things but still can’t fully follow through… this episode will land deeply. It’s not just what Tina says—it’s who she has become.
And somewhere in this conversation… a meaningful pivot quietly reveals itself. You’ll want to hear it.

How to Stop Getting Caught in the Doing and Reclaim Your Energy Through Micro-Intentions
Do you ever feel like you’re doing all the things—but still spiraling into burnout, frustration, or exhaustion?
You set powerful intentions at the beginning of the year. You committed to showing up differently. But somehow, you’ve slipped right back into productivity patterns that feel more draining than empowering. If you're a purpose-driven entrepreneur, a high-performing leader, or someone on a personal growth journey, you may be caught in the trap of doing for the sake of doing—and not even realize it.
In this episode of The Soul Fusion Podcast, Penny shares how to stop overdoing and reconnect to a more grounded, intentional way of creating results. You’ll explore the real difference between being and doing, and how subtle subconscious patterns may be pulling you away from ease—even when your external world looks successful.
You'll also learn how to use micro-intentions to stay present, reclaim your energy, and align with what actually moves the needle—without falling into hustle, overcommitment, or outdated beliefs around success.
This episode is your go-to guide for mindful productivity, brain-based habit awareness, and the kind of intentional living that creates meaningful, sustainable results in your business and life.
In This Episode, You'll Discover: * Why so many high achievers unknowingly slip into the “doing trap” * How to embody a being vs doing mindset so you can lead with clarity * Why ease in entrepreneurship doesn’t mean doing less—it means doing from alignment * The neuroscience behind habits and why your brain resists change * What intentional living for entrepreneurs actually looks like on a day-to-day level * How to build spiritual success habits and use micro-intentions for daily success * Penny’s go-to tools for subconscious reprogramming, identity recalibration, and nervous system awareness * How to stay present in your business—even when life pulls you off course

Let’s be honest… when you first hear “hypnosis,” do you think of someone clucking like a chicken or falling face-first into a lap on stage? You’re not alone—and in this episode, I’m busting those myths wide open.
I’m sharing the raw truth about how modern hypnosis has evolved—and how classical hypnosis, while foundational, often leaves both clients and practitioners in the dark. Here’s the kicker: most classical approaches don’t consistently test hypnotic depth. That means the hypnotist is guessing, the client is uncertain, and confidence (on both sides) takes a hit.
You’ll hear how I used to feel that same pressure early in my career—and how modern hypnosis allows us to track depth, pivot in real time, and deliver real, lasting results… all without shaking anyone’s confidence.
If you’re a coach, energy worker, or just someone curious about the real power of hypnosis, this episode is going to blow your mind. I even share a message I got after leading a powerful group money hypnosis session. One woman reached out afterward and said, “I never would’ve considered hypnosis—I thought it was all clucking like a chicken. But now? I have a completely new perspective.” That right there is why I do what I do.
Tune in to learn:
- What “modern hypnosis” really means
- Why testing hypnotic depth matters
- How your subconscious is being programmed daily—whether you know it or not
- And why hypnosis might be your most powerful tool for personal growth and transformation

The Power of Intention, Grief, and Choice
In this deeply moving and heartfelt episode of Soul Fusion, I sit down with Amy, a woman whose journey through love, loss, and transformation is nothing short of inspiring.
Amy shares her beautiful love story with her late husband, Brian, and how an unexpected and devastating diagnosis changed everything. But rather than letting fear take over, they made a conscious choice—to live with intention. We dive into what it means to hold two emotions at once, how to navigate grief without letting it define you, and the power we have to choose how we show up in the face of loss.
Amy’s wisdom, born from her lived experience, is a guiding light for anyone navigating grief, supporting a loved one through it, or simply wanting to live with more purpose.
Key Takeaways: The Power of Intentional Living – How Amy and Brian embraced every moment, even in the face of terminal illness. Grief & Joy Can Coexist – Understanding that sorrow and beauty are not mutually exclusive. How to Support Someone Through Loss – What truly helps and what well-meaning words can do more harm than good. Leaving a Legacy – How Amy’s experience led her to create Walk the Red, a mission-driven company supporting those navigating terminal illness and loss.
Memorable Moments: “You don’t want to waste your pain. If you have to go through it, why not mine something valuable from it?” – Amy “We knew Brian was on a timer, but the truth is—we all are. The only difference is awareness.” – Amy “Grief is ugly, messy, and real. But so is love, laughter, and the choice to keep moving forward.” – Me

If you've done the healing work but still find yourself battling self-doubt, fear, or questioning whether it really worked—this episode is for you. Penny Chiasson dives deep into the nuances of personal growth, exploring how even well-intended self-improvement efforts can sometimes sabotage success.
- Have you truly healed, or are you unintentionally reinforcing old patterns?
- Are you overanalyzing every thought, assuming there's always something "wrong" to fix?
- Could your personal growth journey be keeping you stuck instead of moving forward?
By the end of this episode, you'll learn how to differentiate between random thoughts vs. subconscious patterns, why overanalyzing emotions can work against you, and how to fully step into the identity of success.
Your Mind Creates Meaning – Just because a thought pops up doesn’t mean it's a deep-seated issue. Learn to identify which thoughts deserve attention and which can be dismissed.
The Danger of Overanalyzing – Constantly unpacking every emotion or thought can create unnecessary struggles. Not every passing doubt is a sign that something needs "healing."
Healing Requires an Identity Shift – To truly step into a healed version of yourself, you must release the identity of "someone who never gets lasting results." You can’t embody healing and also believe “this won’t last” at the same time.
The Power of Awareness – When negative thoughts arise, how you respond determines everything. A triggered emotional reaction signals unresolved patterns, while neutral curiosity signals growth.
Mindfulness = Mental Mastery – The ability to slow down and observe your thoughts in real-time puts you in control of your emotions and outcomes.

Have you ever felt completely confident one moment, only to have doubt creep in the next?

But here’s the truth: confidence isn’t a feeling—it’s a state of being.
In today’s episode, we’re getting deep into the difference between acting confident and embodying confidence. We’ll break down why external achievements won’t give you true confidence, how to shift from seeking validation to self-trust, and why embodied confidence means being unshakable—even when things don’t go your way.
What You’ll Learn in This Episode: ✔ Why confidence isn’t about success, skills, or external validation ✔ The real reason high achievers still struggle with self-doubt ✔ How to detach confidence from outcomes and trust yourself fully ✔ Why confidence isn’t about eliminating doubt but rising above it ✔ Practical steps to embody confidence in your everyday life

Why do some manifestations feel out of reach? The answer lies in detachment. In this episode, Penny explores how subconscious beliefs about money, effort, and worthiness block abundance—and how releasing those attachments opens the floodgates for manifestation. Manifestation isn’t just about money; it’s about embodying abundance in every area of life. Detach, trust, and watch the magic unfold.
Key Takeaways: * Manifestation flows when you release attachment to control. * Money is just energy—not your worth, safety, or success. * Detaching from effort = money helps you embody true abundance.

Hey there! In this episode of Penny on Your Thoughts, I’m diving deep into the often-overlooked secrets of instant manifestation. I’ll share how you can shift your beliefs, recognize the power you already hold, and align your energy to start creating the life you desire—right now.
Through personal stories and examples, I’ll show you how manifestation isn’t just for the big dreams. It’s happening in your everyday life—you just might not recognize it. If you’ve ever wondered why some things manifest effortlessly while others feel like a struggle, I’m breaking it all down for you.
- Manifesting a Parking Spot: I’ll explain how believing in your ability to create small wins sets the stage for bigger manifestations.
- Belief is the Key: Let me tell you why belief matters even more than energy when it comes to manifesting—and how you can strengthen it.
- My Shipping Story: I’ll share how I turned frustration into appreciation and how that simple shift changed everything for me.
- The Dumpster Manifestation: You’ll love this story about how I manifested a dumpster in my yard—but not exactly in the way I planned!
- Recognizing Everyday Miracles: I’ll help you see the small manifestations already happening in your life and why it’s so important to celebrate them.
- Overcoming Resistance: We’ll talk about how emotions like anger and frustration block your manifestations—and how to shift into appreciation instead.
- Shifting Your Money Mindset: Let me show you how to reframe your thoughts about money so you can invite abundance instead of scarcity.
- Co-Creation and Action: I’ll explain how balancing intention, intuition, and action leads to aligned and effortless manifestations.
I want you to reflect as you listen:
- Are you resisting the manifestations that are already happening in your life?
- What beliefs or habits are keeping you stuck in frustration or disbelief?
- How can you shift into appreciation and trust to create the life you want?
Manifestation isn’t just about big, flashy dreams or always being in a “high vibe.” It’s about finding alignment in your everyday life, getting clear on what you want, and staying open to receive in ways that might surprise you.
Are you ready to take control of your manifestation power? Join me for the Overflow workshop, where I’ll help you break through resistance, shift your mindset, and create an overflow of abundance in your life. Visit https://pennychiasson.com/overflow to reserve your spot today.

The Difference Between Intuition and Gut Feelings Hey there! In this episode, I’m diving deep into the fascinating topic of intuition versus gut feelings. It’s one of those things people often use interchangeably, but they’re not the same—and understanding the difference can change how you navigate your emotions and decision-making.
We started by talking about helping kids understand their emotions, which naturally led to the topic of emotional intelligence. From there, we explored what it means to process emotions properly so they don’t get stuck or resurface unexpectedly. Then, the conversation took a turn into intuition versus gut feelings, and I’m breaking it all down for you in this episode.
Here’s what you’ll learn:
- How your gut feelings are rooted in your nervous system and often tied to past experiences or emotions.
- Why your intuition is completely free from fear and comes from your higher self.
- Real-life examples of how intuition shows up in illogical but powerful ways (like avoiding unexpected trouble).
- The subtle ways your mind tries to talk you out of following your intuition—and how to recognize it.
I’m also sharing how our subconscious plays a role in gut feelings and how past misperceptions can create “false alarms” in our decision-making.
If this resonates with you and you want to dive deeper into understanding emotions and how they shape your life, I’ve got a powerful resource for you. Head over to https://pennychiasson.com/resources to access Resonance, a masterclass on emotions. This is where I unpack:
- How to properly satisfy emotions so they’re fully processed.
- How to recognize if your emotions stem from the past or the present.
- The common adult behaviors tied to unprocessed emotions.

Embracing the Uniqueness of ADHD and My Path to Management.
In this episode, I share my recent adult diagnosis of ADHD and how it has reshaped my understanding of myself.

Are you optimizing all of the resources that are available to you to move through an issue? There are some surprising ways that we can get answers to our questions, that we can release things that will allow us to move forward in our life. This one may seem odd to some of you, but I know to a lot of my audience they're gonna go, oh yeah, absolutely. I do this. Your mind when you are asleep, your conscious mind is offline, your body is resting, but your subconscious mind and your unconscious mind is still at work.
[00:02:53] When we're sleeping, this is when short term memory can get converted to long term memory. It's when our body, through neurophysiological responses, can set in motion healing.
[00:04:03] When we do things like shift beliefs, and we literally knock out the structure of the old belief. then the subconscious mind is going to process that it's one of the things that forces our brain into a state of reorganization when we do hypnosis work.
[00:05:39] What can you do to optimize sleep to get what you want?
[00:07:24] This is an absolute playground and that is dream time. Everyone dreams, they just may not remember it.
[00:08:55] How I used dreamtime to rewrite the entire introduction of my #1 International best selling book, Breaking the Fibro Code.
[00:11:47] How I track what happens in dreamtime.

When most people reach out to me, they’re doing so because they feel blocked around money. Something has happened in the past that’s creating issues around their ability to manifest the money, job, or relationship. As part of the process of working with me, I have people list the benefits of the change they’re looking for which tells me a lot about where we’re starting. And in almost all cases, they’ll list that they want to trust themselves. In this episode, I talk about how that’s not really the problem and expose the deeper issue at play.

Today's show opens your eyes to the blindspots in self-help and personal development. We talk about the complicated path of healing and growth as well as the unintended effects of good advice. As a hypnotist with many years of experience, I've seen personally how some personal development methods, even when they're meant to help, can sometimes get in the way, especially when it comes to dealing with our limiting beliefs.
Find Out What Your Limiting Beliefs Really Mean: Figure out that not all problems, like putting things off or not having enough money, are caused by stress or not feeling good enough. Find out how to get past the real problems that are holding you back.
Critical Thinking in Personal Development: Learn why taking self-help tips at face value can be harmful and how you can start being more selective about the information you take in.
The Power of Self-Exploration: Learn why labeling yourself or going for quick fixes suggested by other people is not the way to real growth or helping others.
It's important to listen to this episode if you've ever been stuck in a cycle of self-help that doesn't seem to work or if you want to learn more about personal growth than just the basics. We'll talk about why some common beliefs about healing and growth might not be true for everyone and how you can find your own way to get rid of your limiting beliefs without oversimplifying or naming things incorrectly.
Come with me as we question what you think you know about personal growth and take the first step toward real, long-lasting change. This is the beginning of your journey to break free from your limiting ideas. When you press play, you'll find out things that might change the way you approach your growth journey from now on.

It's a reminder that by saying no to the things that deplete us, we open the door to saying yes to the things that enrich and fulfill us.

How to Bridge the Identity Gap, FASTIn today’s episode, we get into the intriguing concept of the 'identity gap', a term that refers to the distance between our current selves and the identity we aspire to achieve. Whether you are an entrepreneur, a corporate professional, or someone at a personal crossroads, this gap affects us all. The discussion navigates through the intricate paths of our habits, beliefs, and subconscious patterns, offering insights into how they shape our actions and perceptions.
Understanding the Identity Gap: The identity gap is not just about our actions but deeply rooted in our neural pathways and habits. It’s the space between where we are and where we want to be, affecting various aspects of our lives.
The Role of Subconscious Beliefs and Stories: Central to this chat is the impact of our subconscious mind. The host illustrates this with a poignant story of a client struggling with feelings of inadequacy stemming from a childhood incident. This narrative exemplifies how early experiences can seed long-lasting beliefs that shape our self-perception and actions.
Avoiding Victim Mentality and Reframing Stories: Be mindful of recounting experiences, emphasizing that repeatedly framing stories from a victim’s perspective can unconsciously reinforce a sense of helplessness. The discussion pivots to the power of language and self-perception in shaping our reality and the importance of shifting from a victim mindset to a more empowered narrative.
Our identity rests in our subconscious mind. We truly create our reality.

In today's episode, we dive deep into the heart of procrastination, exploring not just what it is, but why we fall into its trap, often without even realizing it. I share my own battle with procrastination, and how this avoidance was rooted in a deeper fear of failure. Despite knowing the numbers were in my favor, the grip of procrastination held me back until I was faced with over a year's worth of financials to sort through. It's a powerful reminder of how our beliefs can shape our actions, or in this case, inaction.
We also unpack the difference between procrastination and resistance, emphasizing how our values play a crucial role in both. I discuss how tasks that conflict with our core values, like freedom, can create resistance, leading us to put off important tasks. Moreover, I explore how procrastination and resistance can evolve into habits that are as conditioned as Pavlov's dogs salivating at the sound of a bell. Breaking free from these habits requires a conscious effort to reframe our beliefs and create new, more productive habits that align with our values and propel us forward.

In this episode of Design Your Destiny, I delve deep into understanding and navigating the complex emotion of shame. I share how shame often originates from our perceived wrong decisions and the stories we build around these experiences. These stories often revolve around guilt, fear, and a desire for acceptance.

In this episode, we delve deep into the concept of self-trust, its importance, and how to cultivate it. Here are the key takeaways:
- Self-trust is crucial for personal and professional growth. It's not something that magically appears when we achieve certain milestones; it's a skill we need to cultivate.
- Our self-talk and identity play a significant role in our ability to trust ourselves. Negative self-talk and low self-esteem can hinder self-trust.
- We are all created with everything we need to succeed. We either already possess the necessary resources or we can learn to tap into them.
- Making mistakes is a part of being human. It's important to learn from them and move on, rather than beating ourselves up over them.
- Radical self-acceptance and unconditional self-love are at the core of self-trust.
- Celebrate your small wins. Acknowledge the things you do right each day to build evidence that you can trust yourself.
- Avoid comparing your best to others or to your own past performance. Each day, aim to do your best in that day.
- Understand that new levels in business or life will bring new challenges. Self-doubt may creep in, but it's important to trust yourself and take those steps forward.
- If you're struggling with deeply held beliefs that hinder your self-trust, consider exploring techniques like hypnosis to target these beliefs.

We both emphasized the importance of intuition in business decision making, and the need to distinguish between fear of the unfamiliar and genuine instinctive warning signs.
Todd also explained how he acts as a strategic partner rather than just a vendor for his clients, educating them on their processes and encouraging them to think strategically.

In this special edition of "Design Your Destiny," we delve into the topic of values and how they influence our decisions.
Our top three to five values subconsciously drive our choices and actions.
Triggers and conflicts can arise when we assign meanings and stories to our values or when they clash with external expectations.
It's essential to differentiate between values that truly resonate with us and those imposed by others.
Freedom and wealth are two values that often carry different meanings for different individuals.
Defining what freedom means to us personally and understanding the stories and experiences attached to wealth can help overcome triggers and resistance.
Procrastination may not always stem from fear but can be linked to conflicting values.
Exploring and redefining our values from a conscious and subconscious perspective is crucial for creating a fulfilling life aligned with our true desires.
Silence and introspection can help us connect with our soul's purpose and understand the role our values play in achieving our goals.
Balancing ego-driven desires with soul-aligned goals leads to greater ease and fulfillment in our journey.

Hey there! Penny here, and today I want to talk to you about the identity gap. It's the difference between who we are now and who we want to be. This gap can have a significant impact on our health and wellbeing, leading to chronic stress, autoimmune diseases, and even repressed rage. But there are ways to bridge this gap and become the person we want to be. Hypnosis is one of those tools, allowing us to tap into our subconscious mind, shift our beliefs and behaviors, and embrace our true potential.
Here are some key points to keep in mind:
- The identity gap is the difference between who we are now and who we want to be.
- This gap can lead to physical and mental health issues, but there are tools and resources available to bridge it.
- Hypnosis is one of those tools, allowing us to tap into our subconscious mind and let go of limiting beliefs and self-doubt.
- By aligning our identity with our goals and values, we're much more likely to achieve success in all areas of our life.
- Don't be afraid to explore hypnosis and other tools to help you bridge the identity gap and become the person you know you can be.
Remember, you're not alone in feeling stuck in the identity gap. But with the right mindset and tools, you can take steps towards becoming your best self and achieving success in all areas of your life.
When it comes to achieving success, we often hear that mindset is everything. But what happens when limiting beliefs hold us back? These beliefs can be deeply ingrained, causing us to doubt ourselves, our abilities, and our potential. Many successful entrepreneurs have found that coaching or hypnosis can help them overcome these limiting beliefs and reach their full potential.
- Limiting beliefs are negative thoughts that hold us back from achieving our goals. They can be related to our abilities, worthiness, or our ability to succeed.
- Coaching and hypnosis are powerful tools that can help us overcome limiting beliefs. Coaching involves setting goals, developing strategies, and taking action to achieve those goals. Hypnosis, on the other hand, is a technique that involves inducing a trance-like state in order to access the subconscious mind and reprogram negative beliefs.
- Unlike traditional talk therapy, which can take months or even years to see results, hypnosis can produce results in a matter of weeks or even days.
- Hypnosis can be a powerful tool for entrepreneurs, to neutralize these negative beliefs, providing clarity and focus to entrepreneurs.
In this podcast episode, Penny Chiasson talks about the concept of being a "domesticated soul" and how it affects our lives and success. She emphasizes that we often get domesticated and socialized to follow certain beliefs, values, and expectations that may not align with our true selves, leading to limiting beliefs and self-doubt. However, we can break free from these limitations through self-awareness and subconscious work, such as hypnosis.
Key takeaways from the episode include:
- Our beliefs and values may not be our own, but rather inherited from our family or society
- We need to take an inventory of our beliefs and values to see which ones truly serve us and which ones limit us
- Limiting beliefs can hold us back from achieving our full potential and living a satisfying life
- Hypnosis and subconscious work can help us reprogram our minds and rewrite our stories to overcome limiting beliefs and achieve success.
In conclusion, by recognizing and addressing our limiting beliefs, we can break free from the domestication of our souls and live a more fulfilling and successful life. Hypnosis is one powerful tool to help us achieve this goal.
Soul Satisfying Success: Reprogramming Your Subconscious for a Fulfilling Life
Success is an elusive concept that means different things to different people. For some, it's financial wealth, while for others, it's career achievements, and yet for others, it's about relationships or personal growth. However, whatever your definition of success may be, one thing is clear: you want it to be satisfying, fulfilling, and meaningful.
What is Soul Satisfying Success?
Soul Satisfying Success is the idea that success is not just about achieving your goals, but also about finding fulfillment, purpose, and joy in the process. It's about creating a life that aligns with your values, passions, and strengths, and using them to contribute to the world in a meaningful way. It's about living your life on your terms, with authenticity, and without compromising your integrity.
Why is Subconscious Reprogramming Important?
The subconscious mind is the part of the mind that controls our thoughts, beliefs, emotions, and behaviors. It's the autopilot system that runs in the background, and it influences our decisions and actions without us even realizing it. Therefore, if we want to change our lives and achieve Soul Satisfying Success, we need to reprogram our subconscious to align with our conscious goals and desires.
Emotions come up when you begin to see things inside of yourself that are ready to be let go of and healed. By putting down the emotions around these events, beliefs, and circumstances that don't serve, you get more in touch with your soul satisfaction.
It is important to reconnect deeply inside yourself to love yourself unconditionally. Achieving unconditional love of self is a journey that takes time, but when you achieve it, you trust yourself, know yourself, and give yourself permission to change your mind.
How Can Entrepreneurs Benefit from Subconscious Reprogramming?
Entrepreneurs can benefit from subconscious reprogramming in various ways. Firstly, by reprogramming their subconscious, entrepreneurs can overcome limiting beliefs and negative self-talk that hold them back from achieving their goals. They can replace self-doubt with self-confidence, fear with courage, and procrastination with action.
Secondly, by reprogramming their subconscious, entrepreneurs can tap into their intuition, creativity, and innovation. They can access their subconscious mind's vast resources of ideas, insights, and inspirations that are not accessible through the conscious mind alone.
Thirdly, by reprogramming their subconscious, entrepreneurs can align their conscious goals and desires with their subconscious beliefs and values. They can create a harmonious relationship between their conscious and subconscious mind, which will result in greater clarity, focus, and motivation.
Conclusion
Soul Satisfying Success is about achieving success on your terms, with authenticity, and without compromising your integrity. It's about reprogramming your subconscious to align with your conscious goals and desires, so you can overcome limiting beliefs, tap into your intuition and creativity, and create a harmonious relationship between your conscious and subconscious mind. Entrepreneurs can benefit greatly from subconscious reprogramming, as it can help them achieve their business goals, tap into their creative potential, and lead a fulfilling and satisfying life.
Creating and embodying an identity allows for a quantum leap. This involves being and taking consistent action while releasing emotions and letting go of things that don't serve us. Repressed emotions can negatively influence our decisions and slow us down, so it's important to properly address them. It’s important to work through the mental and emotional aspects of achieving their desired identity, rather than pushing things aside.
- Achieving a quantum leap involves creating an identity that involves consistent action, releasing emotions, and letting go of things that don't serve us.
- Repressed emotions can negatively influence decision-making and slow down progress, so it's important to address them properly.
- To achieve success, it's important to have a clear sense of identity and values, be disciplined and consistent, give to charity, and know what you want with an end point in mind.
The Aligned Identity Workshop can help with this process, but it is important to only move forward at a pace that mental and emotional states can handle. You can register at www.pennychiasson.com/identity

What is Self-Sabotage and How Can It Be Overcome?
Do you ever seem to take one step forward and two steps back? Do you ever feel as if you get in your own way, even when you know what you want to do? This is known as self-sabotage. It occurs when we act, consciously or unconsciously, against our own best interests.
What Motivates Self-Sabotage?
Self-sabotage can come from a variety of sources. It could be a lack of self-esteem or a fear of failure. It could be an underlying belief that we are unworthy of success or happiness. It could also be a result of previous experiences in which we learned that avoiding harm was more important than taking risks.
Whatever the reason, self-sabotage can be a significant impediment to success and happiness. It can cause us to miss out on opportunities and keep us from reaching our objectives.
Subconscious Programming's Role
Our subconscious programming is a significant contributor to self-sabotage. We may have picked up limiting beliefs and behaviors from our past experiences that we now carry with us. These beliefs and behaviors may have served us in the past, but they no longer serve us today.
For example, if we were raised by parents who constantly criticized us, we may have learned that we are unworthy. Even if we are aware that this belief is false, it can still manifest in our lives through self-destructive behaviors.
The Subconscious Reprogramming and Hypnosis
Hypnosis and subconscious reprogramming are effective tools for overcoming self-sabotage. We can uncover and reprogram our limiting beliefs and behaviors by accessing our subconscious mind.
The speaker mentions hypnosis and subconscious coaching in the transcript chunks provided as being useful for unraveling incorrect associations in the subconscious mind. This is especially useful for entrepreneurs who may have doubts about their ability to succeed.
Personal Development Through Hypnosis and Subconscious Reprogramming
While some people are skeptical of hypnosis or subconscious coaching, it can be a highly effective method of overcoming self-sabotage. We can identify and change the root causes of our self-sabotaging behaviors by accessing our subconscious minds.
Hypnosis, for example, can assist us in visualizing ourselves succeeding and feeling confident in our abilities. It can also assist us in releasing past traumas or limiting beliefs that may be preventing us from moving forward.
Speaking Kindly and Lovingly to Yourself
In addition to hypnosis and subconscious programming, it is critical to speak to ourselves with kindness and love. The speaker emphasizes the importance of understanding that our self-sabotaging behaviors are protective mechanisms in the transcript chunks. We can begin to release these mechanisms by acknowledging and thanking them.
We can begin to rewire our subconscious programming by talking to ourselves in a kind and loving manner. Rather than criticizing ourselves, we can empower ourselves by focusing on our strengths and abilities.
Overcoming Self-Sabotage is a Real Possibility
Self-sabotage can be difficult to overcome, but it is doable. We can identify and change our limiting beliefs and behaviors by accessing our subconscious minds through hypnosis and subconscious coaching. Furthermore, by speaking to ourselves in a loving and kind manner, we can rewire our subconscious programming and strengthen ourselves.
Hypnosis and subconscious coaching can be especially beneficial to entrepreneurs. They can reach their full potential and achieve their goals by letting go of limiting beliefs and behaviors. So, if you're struggling with self-sabotage, know that there are powerful tools and techniques to help you overcome it.
Today we are talking about the not so sexy side of personal growth, and that is the growing pains that you go through as you were on this journey of growing and evolving, personally, spiritually, whatever that journey looks like for you because. A spiritual journey is very personal, and a personal journey is also spiritual, even though we may not identify one with the other.
It's these universal principles, some of these philosophical principles that we follow on this journey of personal growth that allow us to get quiet and go within, and that's really what a spiritual journey is. Listen now to dive into the not-so-sexy side of growth.
Do you want to know how your mind affects the choices you make? Have you ever felt like there was a part of your mind that was working against you? You're not the only one. Many successful entrepreneurs have unconscious beliefs that stop them from reaching their goals. But with the power of hypnosis, you can tap into your subconscious mind and change your life.
Understanding the Subconscious Mind
The part of our brain that controls our thoughts, feelings, and actions without us being fully aware of it is called our subconscious mind. Our past experiences, beliefs, and values can affect these thoughts and feelings. Sometimes, we don't even realize that these beliefs are keeping us from reaching our goals.
For example, a business owner may believe, even though they have done well in the past, that they are not good enough to succeed. This belief can make them doubt themselves and lead them to make choices that don't help them reach their goals.
Hypnosis and How It Can Help
Hypnosis is a powerful tool that can help you access and change your unconscious beliefs. A trained hypnotherapist can help you access your subconscious mind and explore your beliefs and values by putting you into a deep state of relaxation.
Through this process, you can find the beliefs that are holding you back and change them. A highly skilled hypnotist can help entrepreneurs figure out why they think they're not good enough. By looking into this belief, the entrepreneur can change it and replace it with a positive belief that they can reach their goals.
Benefits of Hypnosis for Successful Entrepreneurs
Hypnosis is very helpful for successful entrepreneurs because it can help them reach their full potential. By tapping into the power of the subconscious mind, they can get rid of negative thought patterns and limiting beliefs that are holding them back.
Hypnosis can also help business owners focus and concentrate better, which can help them make better decisions and be more productive. It can also help them feel less stressed and anxious, which are common problems for business owners.
Conclusion
If you are a successful business owner who is having trouble reaching your goals, hypnosis might be the answer you have been looking for. By looking into your subconscious, you can find limiting beliefs that are holding you back and change them.

Start your vision right. Live a life free of fear and self-doubt. Your perceptive filters run constantly and dictate how you feel about experiences, making them uncomfortable or safe experiences. You may be a high-performer, achieving a lot in life. The sources of your potential fears and doubts still matter. Your subconscious constantly assesses the safety or threat of experiences based on past conditioning. A stronger self-conscious identity, more aligned with your true goals, enables you to achieve your goals with greater effectiveness and satisfaction.
- You don’t have to live with self-doubt.
- Focus on self-doubt exacerbates self-doubt.
- Mindfulness decreases the opportunity for fearful and doubtful thoughts.
- Fear and self-doubt don’t start where you think they do.

To achieve your dreams, goals, and desires it means mastering your thoughts, and mastering your thoughts means you must master your attention.
[00:01:08] Hey, it’s Penny here, and back with another episode of Design Your Destiny. I’ve been having a lot of conversations about thoughts and feelings and what comes first when we are dealing with our mindset. So many people, myself included I used to be one of these people, get caught up in doing all of the things that we have to do. I mean, as a responsible business owner there is a time in business where you’re juggling a lot of balls in the air, and then you are begging to build teams. Then you’re juggling becoming a leader and handing things off. Then you’re moving into refining the way in which you do things, which hopefully you’re refining the way you do things all along. But as we know there are bottlenecks that we can get into in business. When it comes to these things we can really get bogged down in following through on the actions. We can even step into a place of, you know, forgetting. Not consciously choosing, but we lose sight of our goals, and we become focused on achieving these short-term gains that get us to our goals. When we are focusing all of our attention on the reward of the short-term gain we are getting these little dopamine hits, right? It can condition our brain to continually be looking for the next thing that we need to do.
[00:03:16]
When we are head down in the doing of our business, all of the things that must be done, the things that must be handled. Until we get to a point where we can hand these things off. our minds can go into a state of habit. Just head down get it done, head down get it done. Sometimes when we do these things we’re in the zone, we’re in flow. Our emotional mind is pushed to the side, and we’re focused in, and things are just flowing through and we are oblivious to the world around us. But, other times we are doing things out of habit. It's just another task that has to be done ‘oh my gosh let me put my head down, let me get this done’, and when we are working out of habit we are not being mindful. When we are not being mindful our subconscious mind is running the show underneath the surface.
[00:04:16]
Now you may say habits are good. Habits are good things, yes. Habits are good things, but when we operate out of habit, meaning that we are not being mindful of what we are doing and our attention actually on the task. Then we actually have subconscious thoughts that run all the time. It’s like the monkeys in the circus they just don’t stop. Unless you learn to be mindful and quiet your mind. Because you can be working on something out of habit. Say it is a task you don’t like very much and you haven’t outsourced it yet, or you’re in a crunch and you're like you know what in the time it takes me, and this is actually a bad habit to have in business I know that, in the time that it takes me to communicate this, make sure it gets done, and report it back. I can just do it faster myself. So there comes a point in business when that becomes a control issue, but when you're new and you’re learning to navigate those things. It’s easy to fall into, I know because I’ve been there. I have had to force myself to step back, be patient, and hand things off unless it’s urgent. But, you know, when you're doing these things, your mind is underneath the surface, you know, ‘I don't want to be doing this’. You may not be thinking about it when you’re doing it you’re going through the motions, but your mind is going through all of these stressful thoughts underneath. Like when is the pressure going to end, how long are we going to keep doing this, right, I need some help. It creates stress and tension in our body, or the other side of that could be if you have someone on your team that was doing this before and let’s say you got burned. Underneath the surface, your mind could be going you know what I can’t find anyone I trust to do this, I can’t find anyone who speaks in my voice, I can't find anyone who is consistent and stays on task. Why can't I hire anyone good? You may not be thinking these things, but the mind is running them underneath the surface.
[00:06:37]
So these thoughts they are reinforcing the idea that you can’t, they are reinforcing the limitations in your mindset, in your business. Even if you have the intention to go out and hire someone, and hire a team. It might delay that decision, and you don’t even understand really why you’re delaying the decision, but it’s because you burned this story subconsciously in your mind so many times that there is a sense of you could say dread. There could be resentment from past experiences, there could be feelings of not trusting yourself to not get the right team. I would say that thought of, you know, ‘I don’t know enough to hire the right team member’. That is my notification of a knowledge gap, but if it's going into the ‘I'm not smart enough to do this’ then it is going into a self-esteem issue. So, these thoughts can run underneath the surface.
[00:07:45]
Now this pattern can apply to business deals, it can apply to joint ventures, it can apply to partnerships, it could apply to restructuring your business. Thoughts can run underneath the surface in regards to anything, and it can be limiting your choices in your business because you may lack the focus, you may lack the clarity, you may get the sense that something doesn’t feel right about a situation, but you don’t know why. So, you pass on it, and later you’re like ‘damn that would’ve been the best opportunity. I don’t know why I passed on that!’ and it is because whatever the undercurrent running is subconsciously it didn’t feel like a good thing to do.
[00:08:49]
So, if you want to get the most out of your business if you want to get the most out of your life. You must master your attention, and when you master your attention you will master your thoughts because you cannot master your thoughts unless your attention is on what you are thinking unless your attention is on what you are doing. So, that your subconscious mind is not running the show. You do not have to be a yogi or an expert on meditation. Those kinds of things to master your attention, to master your thoughts. It takes practice, it takes time, but spending that little bit of effort to notice what it is you're thinking, to observe your thoughts while you are doing a task will make a difference. Because you might be surprised to find what's running through your mind.
[00:10:03]
It begins to creep out into other areas of your life right? They mentioned something and they started their statement with the words “what if?”. And my response to them was “have you considered that ‘what if?’ is the seeds of anxiety? It's the fertile ground. It’s where it all starts. And they replied with “well, I thought asking ‘what if?’ was a good thing’. Like what if this problem happens, what if this doesn’t work out, or what if this integration fails? Now, to give you some perspective on this, in business we need to anticipate, right? So, whether you're someone in tech building funnels and automation, and those things. Or, you know, you’re in anesthesia, like I was, and you’re dealing with critically ill patients, or you know, you are a COO in a company and you’re rolling out something new it is your job to anticipate there things may get a little bumpy, may get a little rocky and to make sure you have things and people in place to lifeguard those areas to keep things running smoothly. Well, that’s fine in business. It’s fine to sit there and say ‘what if a client comes in at this stage and this and this what happens, what happens next, and what happens next?’ So that you can identify any breakdowns and make sure those don’t happen so you’re clients, your customers, your partners, whoever it is have a really good experience. However, if this becomes a habit and a pattern of thinking and we don’t have that awareness this “what if?” can become a pattern in our everyday life. It can become a pattern in our own interactions with people around us. In our own interactions with different situations. So, now what we are doing is future surfing, we are out here giving our brain all these made-up scenarios that are potentially unsafe, they're unpleasant. And what are we doing? We are stimulating our nervous system, We are stimulating our nervous system, and it's going to be like ‘wait a minute why would I want to go into this partnership, my god all these terrible things might happen!’ then all these feelings come up and when all these feelings come up you don’t have the clarity, and you don’t have the objectivity to make a good and healthy decision for your business. You don’t have the clarity and objectivity to make a good and healthy decision for yourself.
[00:13:20]
So, ways of thinking, ways of questioning, ways of evaluating things can become a habit. And that habit doesn’t stop with the business and it doesnt start with the troubleshooting. That habit will carry over into every area of your life. So, asking what if does seem like it could be a good thing because it helps you to deliver a service when you’re in the business of troubleshooting things for people and making sure things go smoothly, and implementing better systems. But you don’t want that to come into other areas of the business because it will slow you down, it will limit you. So, look at what it is that you are saying to yourself and say ‘ when I ask myself this question how is that making me feel? How is it making me feel?’ You know, is it a valid question to ask? Is the answer something that is preposterous, right? So if the answer is something that is just out of this world and makes no sense but its driving all of these feelings inside of you, you know you’re asking a very bad question. If you have to ask yourself ‘what if’ ask yourself “what if it all turns out just fine?” Right, I don’t even like asking what if. I actually discourage my clients from asking that question cause nine times out of ten when they ask what if their mind is looking for worst-case scenarios. It is looking for danger to avoid and that is because your brain is wired to survive. So this is a natural response unless you master your attention, so you can master your thinking.
[00:15:12]
So, hopefully, that example really comes across and it helps you to take a deeper look at the way you are using your thoughts, the way you asking yourself questions. Because, you know, once I had this conversation with this person around what if. It really began to knock down a lot of dominoes over the way they were thinking about different things. And this person, you know, someone in well versed in sales psychology, they're well versed in human response, and how important words are. But they had never stopped to think about how these words are impacting their sense of safety. And when I say sense of safety I’m saying from a brain-based standpoint. But the sense that everything is okay that they're smart enough, they’re good enough, and that things are gonna work out okay they can trust themselves. Because your self-talk, your inner thoughts that inner voice it will undermine your self-confidence, your self-esteem, and your self-trust. If you ever get into the habit of asking yourself questions that create this doubt, this worry. So, really if you want to achieve your dreams, your goals, your desires master your attention. In everything that you do be mindful. If you are reading a book, be mindful. If someone sends you a text message and you just made a cup of coffee and you’re going to pick up the cup of coffee stop paying attention to the phone for two seconds and be mindful as you pick up that cup of coffee because nine times out of ten if you bump that cup of coffee and you spill it or you dump it on your shirt it’s because your attention was somewhere else and you were acting out of habit that didn't have the full focus of your attention and you dumped your coffee on your shirt. Ask me how I know, I’ve been there.
[00:17:40]
Even though this episode has been short there is actually some very potent information here for you, and I would love to know how you’re able to take what I shared with you today and implement it in your life as you go about mastering your thoughts and mastering your attention so that you have the focus and clarity that allows you to just do what needs to be done in your business and to do it without being in your feelings and emotions. As we all know is what allows you to make good and objective decisions in your business as you grow it, as you scale it, and as you build those relationships that allow you to create a legacy that's something that you have always looked for. So, I would look forward to hearing from you you can screenshot this episode, you can share it on Instagram, you can DM me I’m on Facebook, I’m on Instagram, I'm on LinkedIn. I would love to know your thoughts and how this is impacting the way you approach your mindset and your life.
What would change in your life if you could fearlessly be you? I don't mean fearlessly show up and do what you do every day, but fearlessly be the you that is authentic. The you that is what you really want. This is something that I have worked with many people on in their career, their life, and it's also something that I have experienced. Leaning into fearlessly being yourself is uncomfortable. It can be really uncomfortable. For example, one of my clients has a professional career that, it's when you spend a lot of years becoming educated. And while she has loved what she's done, it's really not her primary passion and she has dreams of creating this other business that is focused around something that she is just naturally gifted and talented at. But of course now she's in this place of how do I extricate from my one business to build this other business, how do I support myself? And on the retreat in Sedona, we were actually able to get her some clarity around some next steps because we can just become so insular and locked in our thinking without realizing it. I mean, we've all had those moments, right? Where it was like, gosh, just slap me upside the head. Like, why didn't I see this? It was right in front of me all the time.
[00:02:45] So one of the things that comes up is what will people think? And, it doesn't come up directly as that. It comes up as: “Well I'm not sure what to do next”. Like there's this fear around making the right step, making the steps in the right timing, not making a mistake because, oh my God, what if you walk away from this extremely successful career to pursue this other passion, and then it doesn't work out. Well, by the end of the day she had some clarity around some options. She was no longer locked into this feeling of either or, it has to be this way or that way. She found a way to begin to do both and so that she could still benefit financially from her lucrative practice, but also explore what it would look like to follow her dreams, and she didn't have to give up anything to do this.
[00:03:53] I've worked with other people who have held back on doing what they want to do so much because they're afraid that their family will be fearful for them. Will be afraid for them. So they've held back on what they wanna do most in life. Fearlessly being yourself means that you fully accept yourself, you accept your passions, your dreams, your desires, and you know that you are worthy of being successful in your own right, living according to those ideals just because you are who you. And that really scares a lot of people. And it scares a lot of people because our entire lives people have given us feedback of how good we are, how smart we are, how talented we are, whether or not we are in the right or the wrong, through their personal perception of reality in the world. When we're children, through our parents correcting us or praising us and rewarding us, we learn what is air fingers quote, “Good and acceptable behavior”. We learn that when we do certain things, we get our parents love and attention. When we don't do those things, they may not be pleased with us. They still love us and care for us. They may not be pleased with us, but that can be perceived as not receiving that unconditional love and attention. We've done something that's unacceptable. And those things become hardwired in our brain. Those responses, fortunately, they can be changed.
[00:05:45] So when I say hardwired, think of being able to rewrite a hard disc. They can be changed. But if you listen to the last episode of Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs when we're born into this world, we need to have a sense of safety and security and love and acceptance. That's all that we want. A child, the only thing a child wants is to know their parent is proud of them. That's love and acceptance. That's how that is perceived. And when it's something other than then it could be interpreted by a child as anything else. You know, mom, dad could be stressed, worried, not feeling well, and, normal, everyday things can be perceived as, Oh, maybe things aren't so good today. You know. So to fearlessly being able to be you means recognizing those stories, having awareness around those stories, shedding those stories, letting them go, and when there is a belief underneath, then addressing that belief to get rid of it. To eliminate any belief that there's any discrepancy, deficiency, or fault of any kind in you. Because here's the reality. When we're growing up and we're going through life and in our relationships, what other people say and think and do in regards to us. They're coming from their own stuff. Their response to us really doesn't have a whole lot to do with us. It's about their interpretations. Now, I mean, if someone's being malicious and and doing something unfair, then certainly, but still their response would be a reflection of their own experience growing up.
[00:07:48] So if you want to fearlessly be yourself, if you want to step into this place where you trust yourself to make these bold moves, well, first of all, I've talked about self-trust before. I'm not gonna talk about it again, but that is a muscle that we built. So that's something separate in and of itself. But to feel comfortable in your skin is you, means shedding all the stories, the stereotypes and the perceptions that negatively influence your self talk and then you can move forward. And in the words of one of my clients be unfuckwithable. You just are. You've hit all those needs. You have your personal sense of safety. You love and accept yourself. Your relationships are improving. You have that respect. You have that self-esteem, You have that confidence and that, my friends, is where the diamond is in life, right there.
Hope you enjoyed this episode. I'll catch you next week. Bye.
Review last week’s episode Maslow's Heirarchy and Your Satisfaction in Life here!
If you want to apply for the retreat and go on a 9 month transformative journey with me, applications are OPEN.
Hey, it's Penny here coming you with the another episode. I am recording this during recovery from C. You can probably hear it in my voice as the recording goes on, it comes through more and more. And on that topic of health, I decided I really wanted to break down something that I know you're familiar with, but to really do, a mini dive into Maslow's Hierarchy of needs, because as I mentioned in one of the earlier episodes fulfillment is important to people. Self-actualization is important to people, and I really wanted to talk about self-actualization in terms of, how it falls. It's the peak, it's the peak of Maslow's hierarchy of needs, and that is because there are so many other things in our life that need to be satisfied. Or fulfilled for us to reach that level of self-actualization, that ultimate level.
If you're listening to this podcast, most likely you are not dealing with. first two levels of Maslow's hierarchy of needs. The foundational level is physiological needs. That is our basic “what we have to have to survive”. Air, food, water, shelter, sleep clothing, to reproduce, to carry on the species. Those are the very basic things and depending on where you are in business. You know that when people are in need of these basic physiological needs, they're less likely to invest in the things that are in the higher tiers of Maslow's hierarchy. If you're in business, there's also a chance that you have at some point in your journey experienced a deficit in these basic physiological needs. The more business owners and entrepreneurs I meet, I hear their stories about how they ended up in business because they had to find a way that worked for them to create income and to create a level of financial security that they ensure that not only do they ever enter back into a place of such uncertainty in their lives, but that their children and their grandchildren also do not ever have to be concerned about having those basic needs met, taking that to the next level. These same people, also generally tend to quietly support organizations who help eradicate poverty food and security, those types of things.
Safety needs is the second level, and our safety needs comes to our personal security, employment, resources, health and property. This one, it's only the second rung on the ladder, and most highly successful people would say, Oh, this is met. However, if you're looking at your financial security, whether you're looking at it as employment or your resources, if you have fears in your business around money. If you have worries of lack, if you have concerns that it's going to run out. If you sit back and say, Oh my God, like, why can't I keep money? I am spending money faster than it comes in. I don't understand why I do this. If you have these cycles of behavior and you have these underlying fears and self-talk and thoughts, then you haven't met your personal safety needs. So then it becomes difficult to address that next tier, which is your love and belonging, your friendship, your intimacy, your family, your sense of connection. You can have a relationship, you can have a family. But it may not be all that it can be because these other fears around your personal security, your financial security impact those relationships, they impact family. I've had situations where I've worked with a client who managed to cash out on huge e-commerce business that they had built, and they had kept their wealth quiet from their family. I mean, their family knew they had a business. They knew they were doing okay, but they kept it quiet because of all the judgment from family. And then once the business sold, they decided to, basically take a sabbatical, to sit back and regroup and think about what they really wanted for them and for their family.
So now they've moved during the pandemic, they've moved into this nice home, they're remodeling, and neither one of them are working. And now the family is like, what are you doing? What's happening? So their relationships were actually being impacted by their financial security. So there were some issues there with the relationship. Obviously it was the family member's problem, it wasn't their problem, except on some level, one of the reasons they have never shared with family their level of wealth was because they knew their family couldn't handle that they were wealthy and they didn't want it to negatively impact their relationships. And unfortunately, The bottom line is when we're in relationships with people, everybody brings their own shit into the relationship, their own stories, their own problems, their own perceptions of what wealth is, what poverty is. what love should look like. what's greedy, what's not greedy, all of these things, right? It's why so many people don't share their wealth and when they become wealthy, they begin to close ranks on their circle, of who you let in. And it's totally understandable.
So those money stories right, can impact. , that whole sense of love and belonging if you're having issues with relationships and acceptance and whatnot. This can stem all the way from your childhood. Okay? These impressions that you get around your sense of acceptance and belonging and love. This impacts your ability to then have the next tier, which is esteem on Maslow's Hierarchy. Self-respect, self-esteem, recognition, strength, freedom. It's being able to allow yourself to accept all that you have and can't accomplish and to believe in yourself. You don't need external validation for those things you recognize within yourself, that you have the ability and the capability to create opportunities in your life for whatever it is that you desire, whatever that may look like. If you're having issues with love and belonging and that acceptance that also impacts your relationship with yourself.
Now, self-actualization is about this desire to be the best version of yourself to be the most impactful person that you can be, and not from an ego standpoint, but that you're striving to be your best and you're striving. I don't wanna say do more to have a greater impact, and to feel confident in your ability to just be and to know that you're enough as you are and to allow yourself to do your best and to always do your best and to strive for that best without judging yourself for not being there yet. That is really where self-actualization comes in because when you have self-esteem, when you have self respect, when you have self love, we can reflect and recognize qualities in ourselves that need to improve without tearing ourselves down. Um, So you can be your best. You can go out and do your best all day long, but in the back of your mind, If you're struggling with this, voice, like, you know, you're going along smoothly and then it crops up again. That's, the imposter syndrome, that secret imposter, it's not good enough. You're never good enough. If people only knew you're just like them, blah, blah, blah. We've all heard it. I'm not gonna sit here and regurgitate to you what every other mindset, motivation guru out there has talked to you about.
But when that inner voice is going, it becomes a glass ceiling, becomes an invisible barrier, and to not even to go and beat yourself up about that because it's human nature. It's the way our brains are wired. If you really wanna reach this pinnacle of just being at peace with yourself, inner peace is achievable.
Inner peace comes from knocking down the unhealthy beliefs around your resources, your safety, your security, getting rid of all the bs, future surfing fears that you have. Creating this place where you know that you're worthy, you know that you're lovable from the inside out. It's not anything anyone can do for you, but you, create this foundation and then your relationships begin to change because when your relationship with yourself changes your relationship with others, change. Your self-esteem builds off of that. Your strength, your resilience, your freedom. You're not accomplishing things out of fight or flight. You're accomplishing things just because you simply know that you can. And you know that when it all hits the fan, because we have no control. It's an illusion. When it all hits the fan, we can take a deep breath and step back and say, Okay. we know exactly what we need to do, or we need to know the people we need to bring in, or the questions that we need to ask to make this happen. Let's do it. And yes, it might be stressful, but you're not stressed about your ability within it. And when you've reached that place, You can push a little more. You can push a little more to see what's next for you. That next challenge, because as creatives and highly successful people, we love a challenge, so long as the challenge does not become a cycle where we're constantly chasing dopamine, and that's gonna be something for another episode.
So anyway, I hope you like this little mini dive. Let me know what you think. You can leave a comment below the episode, leave a review if you're catching this through the email link that we sent you. Then hit reply. Tell me what you think and I will see you nexteek.
Letting go of control is going to open up your future in ways that you cannot imagine. Are you someone who craves certainty? Do you feel that you are in your power when you know what's going to happen next? I want you to think about that. What is it about needing to know what's going to happen next, or that certainty that brings you so much comfort? And I use that word comfort intentionally, because it's surprising how many people actually pride themselves on getting outside of their comfort zone, yet they grip tightly to controlling certain aspects of their life or their business. That need to control impacts everything because when things need to be adjusted, when changes need to be made, then it throws off your expectations, and it's our attachment to our expectations that create unhappiness. This need for control, this desire for control, this desire for certainty, comes from needing to be in a place that's familiar because within that familiarity is a sense of safety.
[00:02:47] If you're someone who is controlling or you know someone who is controlling, what has happened is that at some point in life there was a certain set of circumstances that your brain uses a model of reality for its way of responding. So let me give you a really extreme example that might help you, understand what I'm saying? Take a woman who has been battered in a marriage. She's been in an abusive relationship. She's been there for years. She finally manages to get out of that relationship and maybe she gets back on her feet. She feels comfortable dating a few people, and let's say she meets someone who is just adorable. Someone who will truly take care of her. Someone who truly loves her, and she just abruptly walks away from that relationship. And everyone around her is like, ‘Oh my God, why would she ever walk away? This is someone who would never hurt her. They love her, they adore her. I don't understand what's going on.’ And it's because the brain, not her consciously, but the brain sees that relationship as something extremely uncertain. It can't predict. So the instinct is to activate fight or flight and to run away.
[00:04:32] I know it sounds very counterintuitive, but what the brain perceives as familiar is often considered the safer option because it's predictable. It doesn't mean it's the truly safe option. So then what happens? Oftentimes, unless this person does the healing that's necessary, through therapy or whatever means, they will end up in another abusive relationship. Another example that might be a little more familiar is one where you grow up in a home and you watch your parents, you watch how they interact, and perhaps the way that one of your parents behave is not, you don't like it. Like you love them, but you don't like the way they handle relationships. So you say to yourself, I'm never gonna be in a relationship with someone who acts like, let's just say mom, never gonna be in a relationship with someone who acts like mom. And then lo and behold, you go out into the world, you get outta high school, maybe you go to college, or maybe you're in business for yourself, and you meet someone and you fall in love. And next thing you know, you realize is that you’ve fallen in love with someone who's just like your mother. And how did this happen? How did it happen? Because you swore you would never be in a relationship who exhibited these specific, personality traits or characteristic? Well, the way that it happened is your subconscious picked up on those traits. It then recognized them as familiar. It didn't matter that you didn't like them. You grew up in that environment and it's familiar to you. So the subconscious mind does that so that the sooner that you recognize that those things happen, you can curb those behaviors. Sometimes it requires some subconscious work. Not always, but that's a couple of examples of how certainty can come from some very strange places.
[00:06:51] When it comes down to needing to be in control, the greatest control that you can have is the choice to actually let go. Because control is an illusion. You can't control what's going to happen next year any more than you can control what's going to happen in the next 10 minutes. And you can say, ‘Well, of course Penny, I can control what's gonna happen in the next 10 minutes on my calendar. I have this meeting and before I go to this meeting, I'm gonna finish listening to this podcast episode. I'm gonna go get a drink of water, come back, get out my notepad and pen and be ready for the meeting.’ Well, yes, you have a plan, but you can't control that that meeting is actually gonna happen. You could lose internet. If it's an in-person meeting, they may not make it to the meeting. You could trip and fall and break your wrist and need to go to the emergency room. There is zero control in life. Control is an illusion. And when you can move into the place where you realize the freedom is letting go of control, then you opened up your mind and your life to the possibilities of things you haven't imagined before. Because when you're trying to control, you are staying within your bubble... You're boxing yourself in and you're locking yourself into a certain set of circumstances by exercising control. When you can let go of that control and allow life to flow around you, opportunities, relationships, choices, come to you that you never realized you had before. They were there the whole time. You didn't see 'em because of the walls of this box or this room that you've put yourself in when you're the type of person who is holding on to control.
[00:09:04] When you value growth, when you value opportunity, when you value expanding your life beyond anything that you ever imagined, then you also value letting go. Because letting go gives you that freedom. Your power is in your ability to choose from moment to moment. And yes, sometimes it feels uncomfortable, but you can't tell me as a highly successful person that you got to where you are knowing the outcome of every decision that you're going to make. It's impossible. And if you tell me that, ‘Oh, yes, I did know the outcome of every decision I made. I took a calculated risk that I'm going to tell you you took a calculated risk’, which means that you know there was no control involved. It was a game of chance. Everything is a game of chance, so the best thing to do is to just let go and to allow and to have fun creating whatever it is that you want in this life as we move from day to day. Because life is nothing more than a game. It's all about how you show up in how you choose to be in this world. And being in control is limiting what it is that you can get out of life. That's the bottom line.
[00:10:40] It was one of the hardest, one of the hardest, and I hate to use the word hard as a hypnotist, you know, this desk is hard. It was one of the most challenging lessons for me to learn; to let go of control because years in healthcare, in an anesthesia, even though I could not predict what was gonna happen, it was drilled in my head to anticipate, anticipate, and anticipate. That it was my job to be proactive for my patient. So I live for a very long time needing to be in as much control as possible, because to not maintain control of that situation would put someone's life in danger. But within that, I also had to learn, I had no control because there were patients in situations and circumstances where you could do everything perfect. You could do everything beyond perfect, and whatever was gonna happen was gonna happen. And I wish that I had learned this lesson way back in my anesthesia career because then I would not have internalized and personalized a lot of things that happened that were outta my control, because I believed that on some level, I should have been able to prevent, delay or minimize when sometimes it just wasn't possible. I was about to lay down a metaphor on you, but I figure it's probably best left for, something else. But just to say that, you can only make a recipe with the ingredients that you're given and in life we can't always guarantee that we have the ingredients that we want. So then we just have to get crafty, creative, inventive, and do our best.
I hope you enjoyed this episode about control. It may have resonated with you. It may not have. It may resemble someone that, you know, here's my recommendation. If it resembles someone that you know, I would not approach them with advice about it because one of the things about being in control is people are often very internally referenced, which means they may not receive that too well. So I'll leave it to you to decide how you choose to share this information. Have a great week. I will catch you next time.
Are you measuring your success in a way that is creating fulfillment in your life? Fulfillment and self-actualization have become front and center in this new paradigm of business and success building, and I'm actually quite grateful that this shift has come to pass. There are still a lot of coaches, business mentors, leaders that work from the old paradigm, the overcommitment, overgiving, time and life sacrificing style of success. As with anything, it takes time for these things to pass. They do not happen overnight, but for some of you, you might be bringing those old beliefs, unknowingly into your business. If you're making career changes and pivots and have decided to create something for yourself, then even without your awareness, if this is something that you've chosen to abandon as a way of being in your business, in your life, it can show up in some surprising ways. To lead a life. to live a life where we feel fulfilled, that is what we are here to do.
[00:02:37] Now, that doesn't look the same for everyone. For some people it's going to be very different. Some people, their purpose and their fulfillment in life comes from being a stay at home mom or a stay at home dad. It may come from being a physician, an attorney, a nurse, even a nursing assistant. In my years in healthcare, I worked with people who worked as nursing assistants and as hard, physically hard as that work is and physically demanding for such low compensation, that is what fulfills those people. It doesn't make the work any less valuable, any less meaningful, any less important. It's about finding that path that is uniquely yours. That fulfillment comes from the inside out. And it's interesting in some of the reading that I've been doing, how so much importance is placed upon achievement. And I can't help but wonder sometimes if this achievement and the feelings that we get associated with that success is not often confused with fulfillment.
[00:04:12] When we are fulfilled in our lives, not only do we have everything that we need, we have the things that we desire, and we're living in this place of service. Whatever that uniquely looks like for you, where you are content. You're in a balance of giving and receiving. You’re in a place where, yes, you live for you, you're living your life for you, but you're not living your life just for you. If I can draw that distinction. It's not a selfish, egotistical for you. It's following your passion, your emotions, your love, your dreams in creating the impact that you desire in the world.
[00:05:07] When we get caught up in mistaking achievement and the feelings that go with it for fulfillment, we can inadvertently get caught in this loop of always having to chase the next goal. And hey, I get it. You can't measure if you're a good parent. You can't measure if you're a good partner in a relationship, whether that's a business relationship, an intimate relationship. You just can't measure those things. There is not a scale for happiness. What we can measure is the number of zeros in the bank account. We can measure the size of the house, the price tag on the car, the paintings, the antiques, whatever it is that you like to invest in and collect. The revenue goals in the business. Those are things that we can measure. We can see them and we can say, “Okay, yes, I did better this year than I did last year. Yes, I did better this quarter than I did last quarter. The market adjusted here. We had to make some adjustments and we're still on target to meet our goals.” Those are things that have metrics and they're tangible. They can also give us dopamine hits. So when you're someone who's lived your entire life achieving setting goals, hitting those goals in using those as measures of success, our brain can put the importance in the wrong place and it can happen without us even recognizing it. And then we feel like we need those numbers to prove that we're still doing well.
[00:07:12] Now, all that being said, we cannot stagnate in business. If we stagnate in business, our business will die. We have to always be looking at things, adjusting, maneuvering, looking at how we can grow, how can we serve differently. Maybe that involves scaling down, not scaling up. So it's important to take a step back if you feel that your fulfillment waxes and wanes, or that sometimes you're disconnected from that feeling, take a moment and reflect. Where are you drawing that sense of fulfillment from? Is it from metrics and goals met and achievements, or is that fulfillment coming from reflecting deep inside and knowing that you are making an impact, that you are doing your best, that you're showing up, you're serving in whatever way it is in the world that you serve others in, that you're having that positive impact that you desire. That's where fulfillment comes from. And if we are honest with ourselves, because this is one of the hardest things to do, is look inside yourself and be brutally honest with what you see inside. I know it has been one of the most challenging things I've ever done, is to be brutally honest with myself. Are you judging yourself? When you were looking to seek that fulfillment, are you telling yourself that what you've done isn't good enough? It could be more. It could be better. Are you comparing it to other people? Because if that's the case, then the things standing between you and fulfillment is not another goal. It's not another achievement. It's your own inner voice.
[00:09:16] And when you know that, then you can begin to take some action to shift that. Because if your inner voice is antagonizing you, or it's contradicting you when it comes to these moments of feeling fulfilled or desiring to be fulfilled with all that you're putting in the world, then you have to ask yourself, “Where did that come from? Where does that come from?”
And it may not always be something that we're consciously aware of. This is where those glass ceilings, the invisible blocks, the hidden imposter, it's where all of this stuff comes in. And the first step is taming that inner voice because until you tame that inner voice, it doesn't matter how many charities you fund, how many philanthropic efforts you dive into, that voice will always be there. Is it enough? Could you do more? What more could you do? And there's always more that we can do, but it's not our responsibility to do everything out there that needs to be done. If you find yourself in this place where you've achieved a lot, you're really successful, and it seems like you always have to keep going, I want you to know, it doesn't have to be that way. Most likely, there's something simply subconscious that needs to be unraveled, that needs to be released in order for you to, one, be able to feel fulfilled without that inner voice coming after you. And two, so that you can continue to achieve. But to do it at a healthy pace instead of this type A corporate hustle, hustle, hustle, 13, 14, 16 hours, work my fingers to the bone mentality because some of those habits and traits are still being taught by coaches. , Yes, you have to show up and do what you have to do. Yes, there are moments in business where you're gonna have to commit a whole hell of a lot more hours than you want to commit, but it's not sustainable to do it month after month, year after year with no end in sight. Because if you're like most people, you've gone into business because you wanna make a difference and because you want freedom. Financial freedom and time freedom. And if you've gotten yourself caught up in this loop, it is time for you to explore a better way and to break that loop.
I hope you enjoyed this episode. I would love to know your thoughts as you reflect back to really take a look at where you're seeking fulfillment in your life, whether it's your business, your personal life, actually, your life is your life and your business is just something that serves you. But you know what I'm saying? Are you seeking that fulfillment from. or are you seeking that fulfillment from external achievements? Because if you're seeking it from external achievements, it will never be long lasting. I'll see you next week.
Hidden ways that you're subconscious can distract you from doing what's really important. Penny here. I'm back with another episode of Design Your Destiny. And a few weeks ago I mentioned that I would talk about distractions. Now, sometimes distractions are pretty obvious and other times they are not. But before I explain more about what these distractions can look like, I would like to share with you where they come from. Our brain is always processing information, whether we're consciously aware of it or not. Our mind is processing millions of bits of data per second. And there's a part of our brain called the limbic system in the amygdala is a part of this network, or it's connected to it. Your amygdala, as I've shared with you before, is a part of the brain. It's the size of an almond sliver that determines our state of wellbeing. We're safe and secure, or we are in danger. Something is pleasant or it's not pleasant. A situation may be fair or unfair. It is this part of our brain that plays a major role in activating or sending a signal that results in the activation of the fight or flight response, which most people now know is the fight, flight, freeze, or fawn response.
[00:02:41] When that response gets activated it can be on a continuum. It can be very mild feelings or for someone who experiences severe anxiety and panic attacks, it could feel like a full blown panic attack or a rage attack, right? Or a severe freeze response. So it's on a continuum. It's not black and white. There are many, many, many shades of gray of what this looks like. When we are going through our day and we're not mindful of our body and what we're feeling and what we're thinking the amygdala can alert that there is something we are experiencing that is unpleasant. We could be anticipating a meeting with a boss, or we're gonna be connecting with a family member that the last time we spoke, maybe it wasn't an enjoyable experience. Maybe there's absolutely nothing happening that we're aware of, but the subconscious mind has picked up on something as simple as a change in the tone of conversation in a room and in the past that change, a tone and conversation preceded something that ended up being an unpleasant experience, or just maybe something that was unenjoyable. I think it's very important that I highlight that, that it doesn't have to be something awful or terrible to trigger this. It can just be something that's not enjoyable, not pleasant.
[00:04:21] When our subconscious mind interprets something and puts meaning on it, and our conscious mind has not yet perceived it, the subconscious mind can generate this activation of fight or flight in our body. It then begins to perceive the changes in the body. Maybe our heart rate picks up a little bit, or we feel a little tense, whatever it is that may happen, and then the brain goes, oh, we don't like when our body feels this way. So then we distract ourselves away. The subconscious mind goes, Oh, we're really not gonna like this, so let's keep this off of, i'll just do this as if it was me, we will keep this off of Penny's attention. So what might happen, say for instance, I had a call that I had to get on and I was not sure what the call was about. I'm not talking a sales call, but just, something that wasn't planned, and I have to make this call and I'm curious what the person is wanting to connect with me about. In the part of my brain, maybe, Oh, we don't want to think about this. We don't like this. Let's send Penny down the rabbit hole. And maybe there was productive work that I needed to do that's focused, but now my brain is like, Oh, you know what? The other day I was thinking about this domain name. Let me look up this domain. and then I see that the domain name is available. It's like, Oh, geez, I wonder if anybody's ever written a book by this name. So I go down this rabbit hole of doing a bunch of stuff that is not productive. It is not helpful, but it is entertaining to me. Maybe it gives me a dopamine hit, but what it does is it takes my attention off of the unpleasant feelings building in my body because my subconscious mind is anticipating what this phone call might be about. I may not even be consciously thinking about it.
[00:06:36] Okay. So maybe somebody messaged me says, Hey, we need to chat. Can you connect today? I say, Yes. They say, Good. Here's a zoom link. we're scheduled, and I forget about it, but my subconscious mind could be going, Oh my God, When you get called on and you don't know what it's about, this doesn't feel safe. So it generates these feelings in the body. Now, some people, when they distract, They may think they're hungry. They can feel the feelings in their stomach and they mistake it for hunger, so they may eat. Some people may absentmindedly reach for a drink. Some people may smoke. Some people may shop. Some people may sex. Some people may work out a tremendous amount. They just feel this drive to work out. Now, those are more consistent behaviors. In terms of someone who may be driven to work out excessively all the time and that type of thing, but we can get distracted away from the way we're feeling because our subconscious mind drives us in a different direction to keep us busy enough that we're not aware of it.
[00:07:50] So procrastination, watching tv, keeping ourselves overly busy, scrolling on social media, those things can all be distractions. We can even fool ourselves into thinking that we're being productive when we're not being productive. Some people will sign up for course after course and learning becomes a distraction from doing the thing that makes them afraid. So, I don't know if you've ever experienced this in your life, but one of the things that, for new entrepreneurs gets them stuck, is they get in this mode of learning, learning, learning, and they develop this false belief that they need to learn more, that they need to know more. Now, that can be attached to a lot of different things, but learning and repeatedly achieving from garnering more knowledge can create a dopamine hit, which is the opposite of the unpleasant feeling of like actually having to go out and book a client. I see it often in people who graduate from hypnosis training. They get caught in these cycles if they wanna learn more, more, more because it's uncomfortable doing something new for the first time. And it's interesting because when we're younger, we don't think too much about doing something new for the first time. But as we get older, we have more experiences in our life that can influence how we feel when it's time to go out and do something new. And most people who train to be hypnotists tend to be in their forties or older. It tends to be a second career. Not always, but it tends to be. Of course, as it's becoming more mainstream, that perception is probably skewed quite a bit. I'll be the first to admit that.
[00:09:55] But we can be very successful and when we go to pivot and do something new we have these feelings come up and we begin to get distracted by things and we're like, wait, wait, wait a minute. Why did I just waste an hour or 30 minutes of very productive time, on a phone conversation that was like completely pointless than just chit chat when I could have had that conversation any other time than when I needed to be doing something productive like, Where did that come from? It can catch us off guard. So distractions can look like a lot of different things. These distractions come from the subconscious mind wanting to help us to avoid unpleasant feelings. However, what will happen is over time, if we continue in this pattern of distractions, we are going to see the consequences of that distraction begin to pile up and pile on. And then we're gonna get frustrated because we're like, “damn. You know, I used to be so focused and so productive in what the heck is going on? Like, I feel like I'm off my game. Like something's not lining up for me right here.” So if you're ever reaching a point that you're frustrated, what you wanna do is go back to what was happening when the distracting behavior kicked in and says, What was happening that I felt like I needed to distract away from it. Like what was on my agenda, what was on my calendar, what needed to be done that I was avoiding, and what was it about that thing that it felt better to avoid it than to do it. Now you're scratching at the surface.
I hope you enjoyed this podcast episode. I will see you next week.
Are your values really your values or is it something else? Hey, this is Penny. I'm back with another episode of Design Your Destiny, and I do hope that you joined us last week for the Aligned Identity: Turn the Inner Critic into your Cheerleader workshop. If not, today I'm touching on a little bit of what we talked about in that workshop because it is so very important, and that is your values. Most of us believe that we know what our values are, but we really don't know what our values are. Now, that may sound a little crazy and a little strange. But think about it. You've heard me talk about how we take on other people's beliefs and other people's stories. We can also take on other people's values because we've been taught it's what we should value, and that really creates all kinds of disconnects subconsciously. It creates resistance. As a matter of fact, most of the time when I work one-on-one with clients and we are doing the subconscious work and there are desired outcomes that they want, and we are working that into the process, sometimes a client will not be embracing positive changes, and they’re meeting resistance. So we will do a values exercise. Once we do the values exercise, a lot of times the thing it is that they think they want isn't aligned with their true subconscious values because they were taught that they should value something differently. Once we look at the values, then we kind of revisit , what is it that you really want, or if this is what you truly do want, how do we reframe what we're working on in a way that it aligns with your values? What are the actions that align with your values? How do you create this in a way that it aligns with your values?
[00:03:17] When we take a look at our life, if we're not getting what we want our life, and we really take a look at our life, do your actions and your decisions, do those things match what it is that you say that you value? If you're not showing up in life, according to your values that you consciously think, then either your subconscious values or something else together, or you have beliefs around your values that you're attached, that it has to look a certain way. So let me give you an example, because I know this seems a little vague and nebulous. I want you to think of the value of freedom. People will become entrepreneurs. And actually I would be willing to bet that almost all highly successful people who are entrepreneurs, they value freedom. They value time freedom, they value financial freedom. It's something that's important. Now, we don't just wiggle our nose and have a life and a business that provides us an abundance of financial security and financial freedom. And at the same time, time freedom. We have to put in the time, work and effort to get there. There has to be some action taking, but some people want to become business owners so that they can have freedom. Which means they reject all structure. They reject consistency because in their mind, structure and consistency is not aligned with freedom. However, when you run a successful business, you know that consistency in structure allows you to create a healthy business. so that you are building up the foundations of something that gives you that time freedom. Now, that's not to mean that you have to put in 60, 70, 80 hour weeks every week. You can still put in reasonable hours each week, but through that consistency of action, through that structure, you're still able to build a business that allows for time and financial freedom. It may take longer, it may not take as long because there are a lot of other things that come into this recipe of creating a future , where you have this freedom.
[00:06:02] But here's the other thing. It's not just people who were starting out building a business who experience this disconnect in values. It can happen at any and all stages of our life where we're having this disconnect and we're bumping up against this resistance and we're not taking the action that we know that we should take. Our values can change at any point in our life. Something can happen and we can realize, for example, you could have a life threatening illness, you could have a brush with death, and your priorities suddenly change. And on a subconscious level, your values change overnight. And all of a sudden things were going really smooth, and now it's something else. And you can't put your finger on what it is. There's a good chance there was a shift in your subconscious values and you didn't even realize that it happened.
[00:07:08] So anytime things aren't going as smoothly as you would like, you're bumping up against resistance. Take a look at your values. Look at what you're doing. Do those things line up, Do your values line up with where it is that you want to go. What stories do you have around your values? What are other people's opinions of your values, and how do you really feel about those opinions around your values? You could really spend a lot of time going down this rabbit hole so that you can create what it is that you want. Our values even drive our “why” in our business. So it's important to know what those values are, whether you're bumping up against resistance or glass ceiling, or not. Whether you're stuck or not. Whether you're sabotaging or not. Understanding those values gives you an awareness that allows you to choose and change and create what it is that you want.
[00:08:20] If you're ready to approach your mindset from a different angle, if you are ready to tackle the beliefs, the stories, the perceptions from a subconscious level so that you have this alignment that allows you to expand further and faster than I want you to apply for the Aligned and Expanding Mastermind.This is where you get to come in and allow yourself to change your way of looking things at a very fundamental level. To get this inner voice and turn it into your cheerleader. It is possible to have thoughts pop up in your mind of, you know, are you sure you really wanna do this without experiencing the fear. To be able to look at something objectively and make a decision without reacting out of emotion. Now, does this mean that you're never gonna feel anything again? Absolutely not. That would make me a liar if I said that. We're gonna feel our feelings around certain situations that occur in our life. We can't not feel. But the feelings that come from the inner voice can be neutralized, and that's what I'm offering to you. Is to have a space where you can move through these common obstacles that one runs into in life when you're running a business or you are growing in your professional career and giving you the space to move through these things more quickly. To leave behind what's not working so you can create something that works much better for you in your life.
So if this sounds like something you want, the application link is going to be in the show notes. The bonuses for the Mastermind go away today. So if you're looking for a year long space with great community of like-minded people, please apply. Let's get together. Let's have a chat. Make sure that you and I both feel like it is a good fit for you, and let's do this.
I'll see you next week.
Aligned and Expanding Hybrid Mastermind applications are open.
There's a fine line between the awareness that a situation is presenting uncertainty and being fearful. Hey, it's Penny. I'm back. Hope you're having a great week. Fall is here. I don't know about you. I'm loving the weather. But, as always, as seasons change, life changes, business changes, and depending on where you are in your life, where you are in your business, what market you're in, there may or may not be a lot of uncertainty in what you're facing right now. So this is pretty much a blanket episode. I'm gonna speak in generalities towards business, but this comes anywhere in your life. It applies to your relationships as well. People often ask me how to be fearless in their life. They want this fearlessness in a variety of aspects in their life. Sometimes people want to know that they can truly speak their heart, speak their opinion, and be successful in business. I largely attribute this to cancel culture, but it's not only cancel culture. A lot of times people are afraid to show up and share who they are and what they really do because they're friends and their family, some of our most important relationships. Their friends and their family may judge them. They worry about how it will be received. Now in the last episode, I was talking about self trust and how parents may tell us that certain things won't bring us success. They won't bring us abundance, and some people will set out on that path and don't want their family to know, even if they are successful, exactly what it is that they're doing because they don't wanna deal with that judgment. They don't wanna have to deal with the comments.
[00:03:08] Sometimes when we become successful, especially if you have overcome a huge poverty mindset or if your family has always talked negatively about wealthy people, and rich people are awful. They're evil. All of these things. If you have worked to overcome stories from your family that rich people are evil, that it's wrong to be wealthy, that it's greedy. All of these things if , you've worked to overcome these stories. Some people don't even let their families know that they have wealth, and understandably so, because they don't wanna deal with that backlash. I've even worked with someone. Whose family once they found out how successful they were, even though over the course of several years, they had not changed one bit, they were the same person. The only thing was they did not share with their family their wealth, and then when the pandemic hit came the golden opportunity to exit their business, cash out in a very big way. And I mean, who wouldn't do that? So they were able to take a breather, take a little sabbatical if you will, bought a new home. Nothing extravagant, but the family was like, It's a middle of the pandemic. How did you buy a new home? And they're doing a little remodel and they're like, Well, you're not working. Where are you getting money? And it was like a switch was flipped. And So people wanna know, how can I be fearless? How can I be fearless about having more wealth? It doesn't matter if you're going from six figures to multi six, from high, multi six to seven, multi seven, multi eight. There always comes for most of us, this place where we feel like we've crossed a threshold that the way others view us is gonna be changing. So we hold back a little. And people wanna just be them. they don't want to have to put up a mask or pretend to be something they're not when they're with friends and family.
[00:05:32] The other thing around fearlessness I already mentioned about speaking truth, how cancel culture can come into play, friends, families, opinions. Some people have just never made the really big decisions. They're coming into this place where they truly have to develop that millionaire mindset where you have to trust because you gotta make that investment in order to see things grow to the next level. And there comes a big shift in thinking about how you invest money. When you invest money. What that looks like. And people wanna be fearless around that. They don't want to be afraid to invest that money. And then that ties back in to the self trust, and the self trust simply at that point not that they have evidence that they can't do it, it's that they don't have evidence that they can, because this, decision is so different from any other decision that they've ever made before. And I'm sure you've been there where you come to this new place and you're having to make decisions that you never made before. It feels uncomfortable. Uncomfortable. There's a difference in knowing and having the awareness and the recognition that you can't control how it's gonna turn out, and being in fear and getting stuck. And this is one of the things that I will coach clients on. Like we can't eliminate your body's stress response.
[00:07:23] So fear is on a continuum, at one end of the bell curve you’ve got completely safe, secure. Nothing in this world could rock me. I am solid. Then at the other end of the continuum, you have fear that is so severe that you're just like completely paralyzed, and then there's a thousand variations of fear, Degrees of fear in between. It's a whole bunch of grey. When we are doing things that are new, things that are uncertain, we are going to fire off our stress response. Most people know it as fight, flight, freeze, or fun. But anytime there's any uncertainty, we're gonna fire off that stress response and we may feel a little, uh, some little something in the pit of the stomach or “Wow, you know, I'm really not sure about this. I'm not feeling grounded in that situation”. You're like, Well, you know what? I've never done this before. I have made other big decisions that work out just fine. I know that I can trust my judgment, so let's move forward. And there's gonna be that little bit of uncertainty. There's gonna be that little bit of edge. That's normal. You can't just turn off your stress response and never have it come back. But if you're having so much fear that you can't make the decision, or you're delaying on this decision to the point that you miss the window and it's costing you money, it's costing you revenue, it's costing you clients, customers, contracts, whatever it may be, then it's a problem. And it's up to you to have that awareness, to the degree that this is interrupting, interfering, and slowing down what it is that you want in life.
[00:09:16] Because how you handle these situations is about more than the impact you're having. It's about more than the legacy that you're building. It's also about how others see you responding in these situations. Because other people are picking up on your energy. They're seeing how you handle the more challenging decisions they're seeing, how you handle the high stakes moments, whatever that is for you. And they're learning from you, So fearlessness. Fearless is knowing that it's safe to be you. Fearless is about not being attached to what other people think about you. Now, that doesn't mean you can go out and be a jerk and say, Well, I don't care what you think about me. I'll be a jerk all day long. No, that's not what I'm talking about. I'm talking about recognizing that what someone else thinks of you is 100% about them and where they are in life, and it is 0% about you. I mean, unless you're the type of person that goes out, maliciously does something to people. But if you're listening to my podcast, there's a pretty darn good chance that is not you. I tend to not attract people who are malicious and malign people and that kind of thing.
[00:10:44] So it’s also about recognizing that most people are so preoccupied with their own stuff in life. They're not noticing us. they really aren't. People are so caught up in their own stuff that unless they're being petty and gossipy and they're jealous, they're not paying attention. And that has nothing to do with you, your message, your value, your worth, what you are bringing to the world and putting out there. Because we came into this life to be on a journey to connect with our authenticity. And our authenticity is not that we show up on social media or we go on YouTube or, for people who, get up on stage or you're on media. It's not about going out there and being vulnerable and sharing all of the awful things or the good things or the embarrassing things that have happened in your life. You're authenticity is who you are. It's what sets you apart on the inside from everyone else. The way that you process, the way that you share your message, what brings you joy, your dreams, your desires, the way that you're here to serve the world. That's what authenticity is, and. The reason people come to me about wanting to fearlessly be themselves and sometimes not even knowing who that is, it's because they know that there's something that's not aligned with that authenticity. They just don't express it that way. So being fearless, know that if you're feeling uncertainty, uncertainty doesn't have to be fear. And the thing that can separate uncertainty in doing something new and different outside of your comfort zone and being fearful is your thoughts around it. In terms of being fearless and being yourself. It's about your willingness to separate yourself and who you are from other people's opinions, because one has absolutely nothing to do with the other.
I'll see you next week.
Is self trust something that is on your wishlist? I know that really probably seems like a strange question, but most of my clients, most of the people who join my Facebook group or connect with me have done enough inner work that they've uncovered a lot of their habits and behaviors are driven by a lack of self trust. Hey, it's Penny here. I hope you've had a lovely week. And this is a topic that comes up a lot. Where does self trust come from? Self trust comes from us reinforcing all of our wins, small and big. It also comes from acknowledging when we need to adapt and change course on a previous decision. It includes acknowledging that we have the ability, the awareness, and the intelligence to choose a new path. To make a different decision. Even to walk away from something once we realize that it is no longer something that serves our greatest good, whether it's in our personal life, our relationships, our business, our career, It's about appreciating ourselves. Sometimes when I connect with people, even though they're very successful, they say that they don't trust themselves, and I'm like, Well, give me an example. And they will say something like, Well, I just never get things right. Of course that leaves me sitting here scratching my head well, “If you never got things right, how are you as successful as you are today?” And it will be, Oh, it was luck. Or I had a business partner, or my parents left me an inheritance. Things along those lines. But it's ultimately us. That chooses what to do with those things.
[00:03:23] When we lack self trust, there has been some perception in the past, whether it's accurate or not, the mind doesn't care about accuracy, it's just gonna slap a meaning on things. Your subconscious mind puts meaning on things. And it may not always be accurate. It depends on everything that is going on in a situation. To give you an example of someone who there, was a certain career path that they wanted with their life. I don't wanna go into too much detail, but there was a certain career path that they wanted with their life, and the parents were like, No, no, you can't do that. You will never make money at that. You can't do that. You need to go into business. Or, This has been more than one client. One client. It was, you have to be a lawyer or a doctor. Another client. It was, you should be an engineer. So what did they do? They gave up what they wanted to do and they went and they spent all these years in education and then into a job that they absolutely hated. They did their best. They were actually good at it, but they didn't like it. So here they are. They've been told they can never succeed at what they want, and then when they did what they were told to do, after pushing through and committed to something they absolutely did not like or did not care for. It wasn't that they didn't succeed at it, but they just literally reached a point where they could not do it anymore. I'll do a podcast at some point in the future on the impact of choosing a path that's not aligned with our heart and what that means. But I digress.
[00:05:18] So now they feel like, one, they weren't intelligent enough to make a decision because their parents told them that what they wanted to do was a poor choice. And so then they did what their parents wanted them to do and they didn't excel or succeed at it or feel fulfilled, heaven forbid we feel fulfilled, it's something we absolutely hate. We're not supposed to feel fulfilled. It's something we hate. But then when they choose to walk away, now they feel like a failure because they didn't excel at what they were told should make them happy. What they told should make them financially secure. And it blows my mind at how very good intentions parents have for children can just completely negatively alter the trajectory of their lives. But now here they are. They've walked away from this career that they told they should be happy, and then they're totally lost as to what to. And I'm like, well, what did you wanna do? They told me “Oh, well I wanted to be a writer”. You wanted to be a writer? Oh yes. I always wanted to. Well, why not write? Well you know, they said, you can't make money at that. And I'm like, Well, says who? Who says you can't make money at it? One person that I had worked with had had a very specific family member that they were working on a book when they were in college and they adored this family member and says, Oh, well other people can make money writing books, but you'll never make money writing a book. And we unraveled that belief and things really shifted for her because she had air fingers quote writer's block up until that point. But what we do is, we're in this emotional state. We take on what other people are saying, and we hear it often enough that we can doubt our own choices. When we are dealing with someone that we look up to, whether it's a parent, a teacher, a professor, a mentor, a boss, a coach. When they are telling us that you can't do it your way, you have to do it my way. And you're hearing that on repeat, you're getting reinforcing messages that you cannot make a sound decision. And then when something like this happens, where you've gone into this career, now you're leaving this career and you're so disconnected from what you actually want, that you can't trust yourself to know what you want. It really impacts our choices.
[00:08:11] This comes across in other ways as well. I have worked with a client who had built multiple, multi seven figure businesses, and one of those business deals went south, not financially, but in terms of the business relationships. And it ended up that they walked away from their role in that company. They, like anyone who goes into business with other people, there's a certain level of trust. When you enter into a business partnership or collaboration with someone, you feel like there's an understanding and we go into those relationships through our own perceptions and interpretations, with our own values, our own ethics. And this person thought they knew who they were dealing with and come to find out it was very much not the case. They shook it off. They moved on until something happened and there was a decision to be made. And just like that, these old feelings came up of what if this happens again? And it just came up out of the blue, like there was no reason for it and it was based purely off of that, event. So it doesn't necessarily have to be our parents, but we can get into situations where we have a single instance where we are so emotionally, and this is the key word, we are so emotionally bought into something that when it doesn't work out well, our brain is really going through the emotional consequences of the decision that we made, the situation not working out the way that we wanted in that intense emotional state.
[00:10:17] If we begin to question ourselves in that intense emotional state, the seeds of lack of self trust can be planted and then that voice can come up. Lack of self trust can overlap into imposter syndrome. Not all imposter syndrome is a lack of self-trust, but when you think about it from the perspective that, If we lack self trust, then what's underneath that lack of self trust is the fear that if we make the wrong decision, there's going to be an outcome that we don't like. So that's the way that those things overlap together. One of the first things to do, just to summarize if you wanna build more self trust, is to celebrate every, when you have big and small, and that doesn't mean go out and have a glass of wine or pop a cork on a champagne bottle or, if it's in your means by a Lambo. Right? But mentally, emotionally, acknowledge yourself. Not from an ego perspective, but like, Hey, yeah, I did that. Look, look, we made a great decision. This was a great decision. Look how good this is working out. Oh wow. You know what? Great job catching that. We were able to shift course and avert a potential disaster because we were on top of it. So celebrate yourself. Celebrate yourself.
[00:11:51] And if you're interested in knowing more about where these seeds of self trust can come from, how this can contribute to your inner voice, and how that can become your inner critic and create fear and self doubt when you least want it needed or expect it, then I want you to join me for Aligned Identity Workshop.

Imposter syndrome and self-judgment are not good for your business, nor are they necessary for you to grow and evolve and scale your business, whatever that looks like for you. Penny here. I hope you are having a great start to your week. But I'm gonna be honest, I was reading something earlier this week and it really pissed me off. It pissed me off because it is misleading a lot of people. I was reading some information that was written by someone who's very influential and they were saying that not only is imposter syndrome good, but imposter syndrome and self judgment is necessary. That if you're going to be in business, that it's necessary. And this is just absolutely untrue when you understand truly what imposter syndrome is.
[00:01:53] Now, right now, as I'm recording this podcast, you've probably already seen emails. I'm in the process of launching my masterclass: Aligned Identity, Turn Your Inner Voice Into Your Cheerleader. Imposter syndrome is our little inner critic. It's a little inner bitch sometimes, if you will. That is not healthy. For any highly successful person, any high level entrepreneur, business leader, in order to get to the place that we are, we know that self-reflection, self-evaluation is absolutely necessary. We have to look at our numbers. We have to be brutally honest with ourselves and see where we are. We do that so that we can adjust course and navigate what is happening in our mindset and in our strategy. But this is an objective process. When we're looking at our numbers and we're doing these things, if we start getting all in our feels and we're getting all in our emotions and we're making it feel it's something about us, that is not healthy. We can always sit there and say, well, geez, you know what, I wish I had done this differently. We always are going to have some situation, some conversation, some decision that we made where we were like, You know what, I really wish I had done that differently. We can arm chair Monday morning quarterback all day long. We all know that that's not going to change things. What's important is that we learn our lesson, we see what we didn't see before. We learn from that so that we can be more aware in the future and that we keep going.
[00:03:51] But when we get into the self pity or we get into a place where we're irritated with ourselves: “Oh you went and did it again”. When we're say something to ourselves like, Well, that was a real dumb ass move. Like I could say That was the sarcasm. Wow, Penny. Well, that was a dumb ass move. And say it in jest. Or I could be like, Well God, that was just such a dumb ass move. You were just like so fricking stupid. Like, what are you, What are you doing? What did you do? You can hear the difference in those two things in our inner voice plays into that emotion, even when we're not saying it out loud to ourselves. And even when you say it in jest, you're telling your subconscious mind, even when you say it ingest, you're telling your subconscious mind, Ooh, I better watch out. That wasn't a very smart decision. And the more we say something like that to ourselves, the more we reinforce it and then our mind starts to look for our mistakes. It looks for an opportunity to make a wrong decision, depending on how often we say those things to ourself.
[00:05:09] When we're having imposter syndrome that is coming from a part of the mind. The amygdala plays a role in this part of the mind that is evaluating our state of wellbeing. That evaluation comes from past experiences. What we anticipate will happen, good or bad. So whether you see the world view as your cup is half full or half empty, this definitely influences this. Your emotional state impacts it when our amygdala is evaluating whether or not something feels safe and secure, or we are in a state of wellbeing where we do not need to be on alert or concerned about what may happen, it accesses memories that we forgot about a long time ago. It's not just looking at the big things on your radar that you remember,even though those big things most likely play a role in what's coming up, those big things aren't all that is coming up. When you're experiencing imposter syndrome, there can be subconscious uncertainty and fear around a lot of things that like you never even imagined things that just would not enter your mind as influencing what it is that you're saying to yourself.
[00:06:40] If you're inner voice is being snarky with you, if it's being negative, if it is triggering all kinds of emotions and resentment towards yourself, judgment of yourself, putting yourself down, feeling guilty when you know you shouldn't feel guilty, there is something else underneath the surface. Your inner voice is never, ever going to go away because we have thoughts all day long, even when we're busy and we don't notice it. We're having these thoughts.
When these thoughts come up and we're aware of them. If we can just be like, Ha, whatever, and go on and have zero zero resistance or drag put on our actions as we move forward. That's just inner dialogue. That's just our little ego wanting to come out and play. And it's like, eyah, okay, go away. I got this move on. But when there's a motion tied up in it, when you neutralize the leaps, when you rewrite the stories and you can shift the interpretations around that, you can neutralize that voice and you can turn that little nagging, whining, wanting to beat up on us, voice into just the little whatever.
[00:08:10] I know it's possible because I've helped clients do it. I have done it myself. I even laugh at myself sometimes. So, earlier this week I was writing some content and I was literally staring at my screen going, I have no idea what to write, which is a lie. I know that. But I was wanting to write something that felt as if it was coming from my heart, something that I'm passionate about, and I was not connecting with anything in that particular moment. And then I just laughed out loud. I'm like, this is what I meant to share, right? This is a function of my inner voice telling me that I don't have anything to say today. And I was just able to laugh it off and say, I see what you're doing. And then I wrote a beautiful piece of content off of the back of that. So, If someone is telling you that you have to live with imposter syndrome, that this is a battle that you have to fight, that it's a struggle that you will always have as an entrepreneur, I'm gonna tell you it's bullshit. It's absolute bullshit. Are there times when it might get in your way a little bit. Yeah. But if you have that awareness, then you can quickly be like, Oh yeah, look at you and what you're doing. No, we're not playing that game today, and you can quickly move on. It doesn't get in your way and drag you down and make you feel like crap. Because if you're getting that pit in your stomach and you're thinking, Oh wow, who am I to be in this room with these people? Who am I to be working with this client? Then that's something that has to be dealt with. There are definitely things that are going to be uncomfortable as we go out of our comfort zone, and we can recognize that they're uncomfortable and that they're uncertain, but we can do it without having that inner critic, that inner voice attempting to drag us down and pull us back.
[00:10:12] If you are interested in knowing how to become more aware of that inner voice and to just nip that right in the bud before it becomes a problem, and to know when it's more than you can simply do on your own, and it's time to get some extra help to shift and move that out of the way,l I want to invite you to join me the first week of November the first through the fourth, each day for about 30 to 45 minutes, I am hosting an Aligned Identity Workshop. It's absolutely free. You can sign up for it. There are gonna be some replays available, and you can come in and I will take you through a process that will forever change the way that you see your inner voice and the way that you deal with it. It's gonna be more effective for you so that when you're ready to get moving, you can just get that done. If you already know, if a part of you is already feeling called to work with me, but you don't feel that one on one is what you need, but you're more interested in a long term group experience so that you get the support as you're going, then I want you to know that I'm opening up a hybrid Mastermind. This is for high level entrepreneurs. This is for highly motivated professionals. This is people committed to doing the work that you're looking to come in, get the support you need, and go implement on your own.
If you're interested in the details, apply at the link in the show notes. I will send over all the details to you. If we're a good fit, we can have a chat. Make sure you're feeling aligned with it, because for me, energy is everything. If you're feeling called for a fresh approach as to how you up-level your mindset and you wanna clear out some deeper things, then I want you to apply because this isn't gonna be like any other mastermind that you've experienced. Have a great week and I will chat with you next time.
Sign up for the Aligned Identity Workshop. There is a workbook to help you collect your thoughts going into this workshop. We meet Nov 1-4 at 11 am CDT.
Applications for the Aligned and Expanding Hybrid Mastermind are open and available here!
Hey, Hey, penny here wanted to have a chat with you about, Oh, I don't know. I guess my approach, my beliefs, around working with clients. Because over the last, I don't know, two and a half years, I have caught a little bit of blow back from people around the way I do things and it's not gonna be what you think. Okay. One of the first things that I caught blowback about was basically the fact that I niched down. The fact that starting two and a half years ago. Yeah, two and a half years ago, I exclusively began to work with people who were on a transformation journey and that could look like a lot of things. My clients, most of them are very self aware. They've done the work. They know what that inner voice means. They understand that imposter syndrome isn't about the imposter syndrome. It's something different. It's something deeper, but we're not gonna go into all of that. But I really caught a lot of flack because. I started calling up some of my fellow hypnotist and said, Hey, I have somebody who wants to quit smoking. Would you like a client? Hey, I have someone who wants to lose a hundred pounds. Do you want a client? And I started referring these people out and I was admonished and said, you shouldn't refer people out. You should take care of everyone.
[00:02:37] Well, I kind of think of what I do in the same terms that I think of my career in healthcare. In healthcare I specialized in anesthesia, and when I came to Mississippi, I did a lot of trauma and critical care anesthesia. So that was kind of where I focused my attention. So I look at my hypnosis practice, the same way that I looked at medicine. I work in a very narrow area, but I go very deep as opposed to, shallow and wide. If you've done any marketing, you know exactly what I'm talking about, except I'm talking about it on a subconscious level. So, I'm happy to say that there is more tendency to niche now in hypnosis, but it's not really mainstream. I would, if I had to guess, I would probably say 95% of hypnotists are generalist and 5% niche down and specialize in a specific area. So that's the first thing that really of catches people unaware.
[00:03:56] The other thing is that, I don't do my hypnosis by the session. I used to and people would always ask me, well, how many sessions, how many sessions? Well, the truth is, I don't know, until we start doing the work based on my experience now, because I've niche. I can ask the questions and I can come pretty close, I'm actually pretty damn accurate actually to know if it's gonna be four or less, or if we're looking at 5, 6, 7, 8, even 10 sessions. And I have two programs, if you will, that I put people into, depending on what they're dealing with and what I think it's gonna take to solve the problem. I never make any assumptions of how many, but I make sure that we have enough time that we can dig in and do the work that needs to be done. So I no longer charged by the session I charge for the transformation. So that's a little bit different and people don't quite understand it. So that's another shift that I've made.
[00:05:06] The third thing is that last year, with clients that I knew who were going to be bumping up against life situations, stressors, and that they would really benefit from the support of handling these situations, when they occurred with someone who understood these subconscious underpinnings with select clients, I began to offer some coaching as well. I was taught that coaching doesn't belong in hypnosis. You're here to do hypnosis. You're not here to coach. And my thought about that is, well, what if someone doesn't understand how to deal with day to day life stressors? Like, you know, where else is something going to show up in their life and cause a problem? Or potentially trigger them to go back to the old way of doing things. Because let's face it; when you're 51 years old, like I am, I started my transformation journey when I was 48, no 47. I don't know my own age. Isn't that funny? I feel 26, so it doesn't matter. Age is all a matter of the mind anyway. So it would be ridiculous of me to think that at age 48, I could have hypnosis and it undo 48 years of habits. Now, yes, I had a client who was a 40 year pack a day smoker who never tried to quit in her life until she reached out to me. And after one session, she was a non-smoker. And I know she stayed a non-smoker because her doctor called me for two years after I left Connecticut asking me, would I please see her clients? And I had to keep reminding her. I was in Mississippi and not Connecticut. But that lady and I actually did two sessions together, because to do a single session and to have no follow up is meaningless.
[00:07:10] So, in a situation where you're dealing with the patterns and beliefs and the habits of thinking and feeling and how you respond and how you react. In five or six sessions, you cannot undo a lifetime. Can we take a big boulder and push it off the cliff and get you major transformation? Absolutely. Yes, but when I help clients get major transformation, I want them to sustain that and to build upon that progress. If we have a crisis and our default mode is to revert back to being reactive, right? It's a subconscious thing. Then without the support, we can revert back into reactive thinking instead of responding and to have someone to guide you on how to handle your emotions, how to recognize your thinking to understand how your subconscious mind, the sneaky little bugger than it is. Can have you thinking that your self talk is positive, but what you've really done is unknowingly going back into victim thinking, to have someone to show you those blind spots so that you can continue to grow instead of sinking back down into quick sand It's invaluable. And, I have had the opportunity to witness my clients over the last two to three years and see how they respond to the things that happen up and down in their life and to identify, oh, if they would just do this one little tweak, it would completely unlock everything that they're dealing with and this issue would go away, but they fall back on conscious strategies that they're taught in coaching, and there's nothing wrong with coaching, but in coaching, when you understand the subconscious and when you have the skills to go subconscious within coaching, you can rapidly build upon those shifts, which is why I’m still doing some one on one. But it's why I'm opening up a 12 Month hybrid mastermind that includes the one on one sessions, plus the coaching, plus the support of community of like-minded individuals, so that once people get that big transformation, they continue to stay on a path of making progress with someone who understands the subconscious and understands the knots that they've unraveled before, so that those things can be moved and shifted quickly.
[00:09:55] It's funny to me, and when I say funny, I mean, ironic that people will have a therapist on retainer to just chat with everyday problems. They need a place to vent. They need a place to process. But what if you had someone on retainer to actually help you shift the subconscious pattern so that, that didn't keep showing up as a common occurrence for you. Because we don't have to go through life feeling the static running in the background. It's totally not necessary. If you follow me on social media, you know that I've shared a screenshot of a comment from one of my clients that we did some deep work last year, and then a few months ago, she. I guess you could call it a crisis, come up and it triggered some things for her. And she and I did one session and, this worked through one session because we had done the heavy lifting before, but she just had no reservations to message me and say, Hey, I need to move through this. I need to move through it now. And after the one session, she messaged me the next day and she's like, I feel nothing–and not, “I feel nothing” in terms of being numb, but I feel nothing in terms of the static wasn't under the background anymore, that, that constant antsy feeling that like waiting for the other shoe to drop, it was gone. That is the power of having someone who understands the subconscious on your side. She could have worked through it with journaling and meditating and all of those things. And it eventually would've become so normalized that she didn't notice it, except that she had developed a great deal of awareness after we worked together last year.
[00:11:58] If you decide that you're ready to address that inner voice that cause all the fear and the doubt that leads to all the things, right? The inner voices is at the root of it. The inner voice is at the root of the fear, the doubt, the imposter syndrome, the procrastination, the people pleasing… It's all about what we think things mean and the stories we tell ourselves, If you wanna tame that inner voice, if you wanna see if you're a great fit. For the mastermind, you can apply at the link in the show notes, apply at that link, or you can apply at the link for one on one, either way. We will reach out to you and schedule a time to chat
and see if it's a fit. Because, you know what, whether or not you feel aligned to work with me is just as important as whether or not I feel that you're in a place you're gonna get the greatest amount of benefit from the work that I do. Alright, I'm gonna leave it here. Have a blessed and wonderful week. go out and change the world. bye now.

Do things always seem to happen to you in life? Is that a perspective that you have, that as you go through life when unwanted events occur, that, these things are happening to you? I wanna share a different perspective with you. This got a great deal of discussion recently when it came up. Several years ago, I learned a very, powerful piece of wisdom. You could call it a nugget, but this isn't a nugget. It's more like a 10 ton boulder. My mentor, Jim Forton, was coaching me and he said you are in 100% influence of the circumstances of your life. And for most people who aren't in the personal development world, they jump right into the, oh my God, that's victim shaming. Nobody asked for cancer. Nobody asked to be mugged or, you know, whatever else. That's not the point of the statement. The point of the statement is that no one can make us think, feel, or believe anything about any situation in our life, unless we first choose to entertain that idea. People can make comments, but unless we choose to entertain that idea, then we're not going to adopt that idea. What this means is that we get to choose the meaning that we put on any situation.
[00:02:46] Now, when we're going through life and we are dealing with other people, they have free will and choice just as much as we do. And some of those people may do things that we find unpleasant, disgusting, unfair, downright heinous even. But, the only meaning that's on that is what we do. The only meaning that is on that is the meaning that we choose to give it So take, for example, let's just say there is a business contract, a client contract, and something happens and the person can't fulfill the contract, or it was almost done. But then at the last minute, the contract doesn't get signed. The client pulls out and it's like, ‘Oh my God. Why does this always happen to me?’ Well, number one, I don't do that, but for some people they do now, it's one thing to sit back and take an honest assessment of situation. And say, okay, what happened here? Is there something systems sales call, communicating the offer, the expectations, like, is there something here that needs to be improved? That's totally appropriate, but it's something else to say that, oh my God, this always happens to me. I'm attracting clients who… do this. Like why do they always find me? Well, maybe somebody just had bad situation happen. Maybe their finances changed. Maybe their needs changed. . We can either choose to allow ourselves to be at the mercy of other people's choices, or we can choose to be in command of the next steps. Right. So you could look at that situation and be in a pity party, and ‘why is this always happening? People are always cheating me’ or, I don't know. I could think of a lot of different examples. I don't wanna go down that rabbit. I don't like that negative energy in here, but to step back and say, okay, well, let's assess what happened here. Let's email this person. Let's find out if there are any gaps that we need to address and get a deeper understanding, that is being in a place of empowerment rather than living by circumstance.
[00:05:18] So whether it's something with my family, with my husband, with my business, with people that I do business with personally, when something comes up, I will ask myself: “Okay. What did I do to co-create this?” Maybe I didn't communicate clearly what my needs were. Maybe I didn't communicate clearly what my expectations were because if I communicated my expectations, clearly, maybe this person I chose to do business with would say, oh, we're not a fit. Maybe I didn't ask a question. I should have asked. That one has actually happened to me. I was in a situation where I did not know what I did not know. I was making an investment. I felt like it was the best investment for me. And in hindsight, I look back and I thought to myself, it would've really been nice if they had a process in place to do this gap assessment, because they thought I was at a place that I was not. I was not a fit for this investment I made, but once I made the investment, in integrity, I'm committed. I follow through on my investment and I made the most of what was provided to me that I could. But then I still had to seek out someone who could help me identify the gap. And when I found that person, I knew immediately, oh, this is what I needed. Like, this was the secret ingredient to the recipe, except it's no secret ingredient to anybody who's been in business for a very long time. But for me being a new entrepreneur and I say new, because I’ve only been in business four years, that's still relatively new. It was a gap that I had and I did not know. So I could have sat here and I could have blamed the people that I signed on to work with and said, oh my God, they should have done this. They should have done that. But you know what, it's also my responsibility to ask questions. It's my responsibility to educate myself the best that I can. To know what I don't know, or to at least ask the question in order for me to be successful with you moving forward in this work. From your perspective, what must I have in place to achieve success in your program? I didn't ask that question, So I could either choose to be a victim. Or feel taken advantage of, or I can choose to take responsibility for the fact that I could have asked better questions. I could have taken responsibility for, maybe looking for another person at that same time to say, Hey, come in here , and show me what I'm missing, because I've made this investment over here. Things aren't going the way I would like them to go. And I don't know what I am missing here.
[00:08:35] Because everything that we do, it's a two way street. Rarely anything is unilateral. And when it is unilateral, really what we have to do is we have to look at ourselves and say, okay, how did I co-create this? What boundaries that are important to me id I not hold? Which of my values did I ignore here that threw me so far out of alignment? When we're brave enough to go down the rabbit hole of every single situation in our life to ask ourselves, where did I not trust myself? Where did I let fear overtake me? How did I contribute to this? And maybe we didn’t contribute. Maybe we put our blinders on. Where did I put my blinders on here? Right? What was I avoiding? When we can go down that rabbit hole, we can really get some amazing transformation in our life. And I'm gonna tell you sometimes, depending on where you are in your journey of transformation, taking a look in that mirror is not always easy. Sometimes it's pretty darn messy.
[00:09:50] In taking ownership of your life, people talk about mental, emotional health. They talk about being self actualized, having a fulfilling life. The very first thing, well it's one of, many of the very first things, it's taking ownership. We take ownership through awareness. We take ownership through asking great questions. It's one of the things that's really allowed me to shift in, move out of this place where I was years ago of being someone who happened to be a hypnotist, who charged for my services, to being a business owner, to stepping into a role. I call it CEO. I know that people really overuse that, but that's the way I think of myself as being outside of my business. And my business works for me and my business provides a service. I just happen to go into the business. To deliver that service. And that's been a huge shift for me, and it's forced me to take ownership of the decisions that I make, the decisions that I avoid, the things that I do, the things that I don't do, and even my own physical, mental, and emotional health. Because without that, for me being the service in the business, helping people transform. That's very important. And when I don't hold those boundaries, when I don't take that level of responsibility for myself, it impacts my ability to serve others.
[00:11:31] So I challenge you to reflect, and in situations in the past where you may have feelings of frustration or anger or resentment from the past, reflect back and ask yourself what was my role in this? And when I say, what was my role in this? I'm not saying, “Did you ask for it” or anything like that, but where could you have taken a different level of responsibility and maybe the outcome, or more importantly, your interpretation of the situation change? Because when we interpret situations, our interpretations influence our future decisions. So it may not necessarily mean that you could have changed the situation, but you change your interpretation around it, which shifts your emotional state around it, which directly impacts your ability to make decisions going forward.
[00:12:32] I have a whole lot more to say on this. I think it's gonna be for a part two episode maybe, or a few weeks down the line, but all of these things, these interpretations, the meanings that we put on things, whether or not we choose to empower ourselves to take responsibility for our interpretations of the things that happen in our life. Those things all come back to your inner voice. Master your inner voice if you want to be fulfilled. If you want that self actualized life. If you want to be more in touch with your intuition. If you want internal peace and know that's not a holy grail, it is actually available to you. If that is what you want, you must master your inner voice. If that interests you, join me in the Facebook group. The link is going to be in the show notes. I am starting to do weekly live shows. I love to dig into this stuff. It's my gam. It's my passion. I really could go on and on and on and on. And when you are there with me to ask questions, everybody can get more out of it. So hope see you in the Facebook group. If you are looking to work with me, there are now two ways you can do that. You can apply to work with me One on One, or you can apply to join me in a hybrid mastermind, where you get the benefit of group conversations, group perspective, but you also get the benefit of one on one work with me as we help you to tame that inner voice, releasing the fear and the doubt so you have the clarity and the focus you need to create the impact, the legacy and the lifestyle that you have worked so hard to have because none of it matters if you're not fulfilled doing it. And that is what I'm here to help you do see you next week.
Want to work One on One with Penny, go here and apply so we can see if we are a fit. Sign up for the email list to learn more about the new hybrid program launching soon.
The Facebook Group is here.
Hello, hello. It is Penny. And I'm here to talk today about mental and emotional health m. And mental and emotional health as a business leader, as an entrepreneur. But this very much applies to everyone. Whether it's your children, your partner, your employees, when it comes to our mental and emotional health, because we're all very good at doing, we're all very good at getting caught up in action taking, many times we don't recognize that our mind and our body is calling out to us until we really feel it. So for example, probably like many other entrepreneurs, there are times when I'm here in the office. I get head down, I get into flow, and hours and hours can go by and I don't recognize that all that time has gone by until I have a headache. And that headache is because I am so hungry because I haven't eaten in six or eight hours. That state, being hungry, which can quite easily become hangry, that impacts our ability to handle stress and things that are going on in our business, in our life mentally and emotionally, because we have taxed our brain to the point from a metabolic standpoint, that it is difficult for us to deal with a stressor or a situation. So now I am much more mindful and I do my best to pay better attention.
[00:03:01] Now you may say, well, yeah, but you know, I fast. Well, if you're on a fasting schedule, that's fine. Your body becomes acclimated to that. But say for instance, you're someone who grabs a quick breakfast. Maybe you're having a breakfast of oatmeal and fruit, which even though it has fiber, there's a lot of, carbs in that. Your body, the way your metabolism works, your blood sugar crashes much more quickly, and it gives you peaks and valleys and it affects your energy, your mental focus. You can have brain fog, nevermind the irritability, and, not able to handle the stressors day to day, but when we are experiencing stress in our business, and I'm even talking about the normalized stress. Daily stress, stress day in and day out, high pressure over commitment, overwhelm, that is not normal. But we normalize it. That's the culture of business. That paradigm is shifting. It's changing, but we shouldn't be in that state every day. We don't have the opportunity to process our emotions. We don't have the opportunity to allow our bodies to rest. When our bodies don't rest, it shortens our mental and emotional bandwidth. I think you can see where I'm going here.
[00:04:30] Now. one of the things that can create stress, worry, fear in the business is our inner voice. Because there's some part of us that's telling us that we have to push that hard. There's some part of us telling us that we have to go one more minute, one more hour, one more day, before we give ourselves some time off. It's our inner voice that says, oh, we have to go the extra mile for this client and I have to do it right now. Now that's not to say that customer service client care is not important. It's actually very important, but I've been there. I know. And I know what some of you are doing when it's not urgent. You're making it urgent in your mind. And you're causing yourself to have to do more and more. Your inner voice is talking you into believing that only you can do a certain task well enough. That if you don't do it, it'll take longer if someone else does it. And you're not able to let go of control in the business, it's your inner voice. That's telling you that you have to be super cautious and super afraid of what other people may think.
[00:05:56] When we can step into this place, where one, we realize that control is an illusion and two, we can accept ourselves for doing our very best and accept that we're smart enough to know when we need to go out and gather more knowledge, then we can let go of all of that. Now I'm not talking about perfectionism. Perfectionism is, that is just like a total and complete waste of mental, emotional, and physical energy. I'm not talking about the, oh, well, once I, reach this next milestone, it'll be good enough. Or when I reach the next milestone, it'll be good enough. No, I'm talking about; you get into a situation. You're like, oh, you know what? I have a knowledge gap here. Let me fill the knowledge gap. And then I will, I will be ready. That voice in your head is telling you it's not good enough, people aren't gonna like it. What if they don't like the new direction that your company is taking, maybe you bring in a new partner in the company or you sell an equity share, whatever that looks like. It's important to be aware, and wise, about what you're doing. But when you are allowing your mind to run your emotions, then it becomes detrimental. And when I say, when you allow your mind to run your emotions, yes. All of our emotions come from our mind. But what I'm saying is when you let your thinking run your emotions, that's when we get into the weeds of mental and emotional health, because unnecessary fear and worry is caused by our thoughts.
[00:07:50] I had a coach, once, who called it future surfing, living in the future. Right? Most of the things that we get caught up in our head about in the future, most of the things never come true. We are just spinning our wheels and burning our mental, emotional energy. So if you're finding yourself, getting into worry, getting into fear, getting into doubt, I want you to recognize that is a function of your thoughts and your thinking. It's not the same as anticipation, if you're like, well, I have to anticipate what might be coming, well, yes. I mean, you can anticipate next steps, but fear around those next steps, worry and doubt as to whether or not they will be good enough if they will be in place one time, those types of things, you have the capacity and the ability to project timelines, you have the capacity and the ability to develop a plan B. If you're getting caught up in a situation where you're thinking, well, I said I was gonna have this out by, I don't know, let's say the 21st of the month, and now there's been some snafu and it takes me till the 23rd. What are people gonna think? Well, you know what? People are gonna think all manner and range of things.
[00:09:12] If you realize that you can't make a deadline, just own up to it and say, hey, I was expecting to have this to you by this date, whatever the reason is like I underestimated or something unexpected came up, it is taking longer. I will notify you as soon as it's available. I expect it to be before and then give another projected date. This happened to me just the other day. I led a full day workshop. The videos needed to be edited. And I chose to edit the videos myself, because number one, I was the only person that knew where the timestamps were that the video needed to be cut. And if I had to watch the whole damn thing to find the timestamps, then I may as well clip it, process it and export it because that only takes 10 extra minutes. And something came up on my schedule that was unavoidable, and it delayed my ability to get it out there. And I just sent an email and said, Hey, this is what's happening. Is it possible that someone was unhappy with that? Absolutely. But it's better than not saying anything and hoping people don't notice. And because of the delay, there is a bonus that I'm giving on the back end of that. There is a way to stay in integrity around these things.
[00:10:39] So when it comes to your mental and emotional health, the most important thing you can do is get present with yourself. Even when you're busy, head down, be present with yourself, you can be in flow and be aware of your own internal state. At the same time, it takes practice if you've never done it before. But you can do it. You can be mindful when you're in flow and make sure that your body is being taken care of. You can be present and be mindful when you're in a project with a deadline. And if you're just going all in, you can be mindful and present and make sure that your needs are being taken care of. If you get completely lost in the weeds, set an alarm, as a reminder to eat lunch. Set a timer, you can get a habit tracker to remind you to drink water, to be healthy. And you may say, well, what does that have to do with mental and emotional health nourishing? Our body has a lot to do with our mental and emotional health, listening to our body exercising, getting outside. I feel like I've slipped for a moment back into. Healthcare mode, but that's totally not the intention of what I'm doing here, but I know that mental and emotional health has become the buzzword.
[00:12:04] If you listen to your body, if you nourish shit well, if you drink water, if you get outside, if you exercise, that goes a long way toward your mental and emotional health and oh, and for God's sake, don't forget to have some fun, right? Throw some fun in there too. Just for good measure. But be present with your mind, be present with where your attention is. As you're making decisions, be aware of what is driving you to make the decisions that you're making. And if it is your inner voice, getting into fear, worry, and doubt, then that is something that can be shifted. That can be neutralized. You can’t turn the voice off, like a switch. That voice comes from the ego, but you can neutralize the emotion behind it. It's the emotion that impacts our mental and emotional health. Those are the things that I work with people on all the time.
[00:13:00] I want to invite you, if you are a highly successful professional, if you find that taming, this inter voice is something that's going to allow you to let go of the fear and the doubt so that you can move forward with clarity and focus, creating that impact, creating the legacy, having the lifestyle that you desire. If, you recognize that taming, that inner voice is a huge part of that, then I would love to have you in my Facebook group. Yes. I know. Social media, whatever. I would love to have you in my Facebook group, because I'm going in and doing weekly live trainings in the Facebook group. I've only recently done that, but I am supporting other entrepreneurs who are ready to have that mental and emotional health. They're ready to let go of that fear. They're ready to overcome the self doubt. Because it's those things that keep us from feeling fulfilled in what we do. It's that inner. That we feel like we're 95% to this great and wonderful life, but then every, so often something crops up and here we go again and it's like, Ugh, is it ever gonna end? Well, that's what I help you with. So anyway, I would love to see you in the Facebook group. I'm gonna put the link to the group in the show notes, it's called On The Path. The name will be changing soon to what I don't know yet. I will be inspired and you will be the first to know when I do, but the link is in the show notes. I want you to go join the Facebook group. I'll give you access to a powerful hypnosis that will allow you to amplify your confidence. And I would just love to see you there. Would love to love up on you, share some amazing resources with you, so you can go out there and just do the damn thing. Do the thing that you're here to do until next week, bye now.
Find your way over to the Facebook Group! We would love to have you there.
Are you optimizing all of the resources that are available to you to move through an issue? There are some surprising ways that we can get answers to our questions, that we can release things that will allow us to move forward in our life. This one may seem odd to some of you, but I know to a lot of my audience they're gonna go, oh yeah, absolutely. I do this. Your mind when you are asleep, your conscious mind is offline, your body is resting, but your subconscious mind and your unconscious mind is still at work. Your unconscious mind being the part of you that operates your bodily functions, your immune system, your heart rate, your breathing. It's also where the reticular activating system is located. And it's the reticular activating system that will send a signal to wake you up if there's a bump in the night. It’s… I've mentioned it before, it's like that guard dog with the ear cocked up, always listening. It's the thing that changes for a mother when she has a baby. When you think, oh my gosh, I'm such a deep sleeper. Will I hear the baby cry? Yes, you're gonna hear the baby. It's part instinct and it's part having that awareness that you now have an infant in the house, and you need to be aware of the cry. You're literally priming your mind to alert you when you hear a baby's cry.
[00:02:53] But when we're sleeping, this is when short term memory can get converted to long term memory. It's when our body, through neurophysiological responses, can set in motion healing. This is why sleep is so important. You wanna be sure to get enough sleep, but not too much because too little or too much sleep are both detrimental. Maybe I'll do an episode at one point on sleep. There is no set number of hours that is blanket for everybody. Typically, if I make it through five sleep cycles in a night, I'm good. For most people, a sleep cycle is an hour and 15 minutes to an hour and 30 minutes. That full sleep cycle allows you to get into REM state, where we dream. So your subconscious mind is active when you're sleeping. It’s converting short term memory to long term memory. If there are pathways that are no longer utilized, no longer needed, it can break those things down.
[00:04:03] Now, I have to put this in context a little bit, because as hypnotist we often talk about with neuroplasticity, when someone is changing a habit that when you create a new habit, you're creating a new neural pathway, the old neural pathway doesn't go away. It's still there. So take, for example, someone who drank too much. I'm not gonna say alcoholic because that's at the far end of the spectrum, but say someone drank too much and they didn't like it. So they quit drinking or someone who smoked and they quit smoking because they didn't like it. That old neural pathway is still there. It's not uncommon to hear of someone who stopped a habit and then one day they're like, you know, I'll have just one cigarette or I'll have just one drink and then they're back to smoking or drinking or, whatever it is, the habit. They fall right back into it. It's because that neural pathway is still there.
But when we do things like shift beliefs, and we literally knock out the structure of the old belief. then the subconscious mind is going to process that it's one of the things that forces our brain into a state of reorganization when we do hypnosis work. When we do subconscious work, that subconscious success coaching, with the conversational hypnosis, is that we are literally rendering those old beliefs to be faults, and once the mind recognizes their faults, those beliefs are no longer needed.
[00:05:39] So what can you do to optimize sleep to get what you want? Before I go to sleep at night I actually do a self hypnosis. And as a part of that self hypnosis, I might give my subconscious mind a command such as, ‘find any beliefs that are preventing me from achieving blank and delete them. Search and delete.’ Or, ‘tonight, reprogram my subconscious mind to feel safe earning X number of dollars.’ So if you're someone who grew up, in a very modest household, maybe middle class, but you always heard your parents talk about people who had money were, you know, they were crooked, they couldn't be trusted, they were selfish. And while you know that there are a lot of great people with a lot of money who are doing wonderful things, they fly under the radar. They're making an impact in other people's lives more so than they are their own. You know this, you believe this, you believe that you're worthy of it on the surface level, but deep, deep, deep down, you always heard these stories. So you can tell your subconscious mind before you go to sleep, ‘subconscious mind in my sleep tonight, I want you to rewrite this story, that wealthy people are good people, that good people with wealth do great things.’ And you can just do that every night.
[00:07:24] Now let's take this a step further. This is where I love to play. This is an absolute playground and that is dream time. Now there are gonna be people say, oh, I never dream. Unless you have certain diagnosed sleep issues, you do dream. We just don't remember. So many times we don't remember and some medications can keep people from dreaming, but for the most part, we all dream, ee just don't remember. So the first step in this whole process is when you lay down to go to bed at night, you tell your subconscious, remember my dreams and bring me the information in a way I can understand. Then you can tell your subconscious mind “sub I want you to go into dream time and bring me the lessons that allow me to release beliefs around money that no longer serve me.’ And then just go to sleep. Now, here's the thing. When you ask your subconscious mind to do this work in dream time, the answer does not always come in your dreams. The answer may come the next day, or it may come in a few days. Just suddenly you get a sign, you see something, you hear something. And instantly you're like, ah, that's the answer. Your subconscious mind has been working on that.
[00:08:55] When I wrote my number one international best seller “Breaking the Fibro Code”, just before that book went to the editor, I made an entire change in the people who I serve. But at the time I wrote the book, I was planning to work with people with fibromyalgia, and the morning the book was to go off to the editor I rewrote the entire introduction. And what I had been dealing with was I was bridging this gap between meeting the reader where they were and not offending the medical community, because if you're offending the medical community, they're not going to share the book and the book would be beneficial to people. And I realized at a late moment, I'm like, ‘you know what? My tone is in the tone of the client. Who's going to read the book, but the tone is not going to resonate with the practitioner who is going to feel, yes, this is gonna be beneficial. So how do I bridge this gap and meet the reader where they are? But at the same time express the challenges that face medical providers without casting a bad light on medical providers, because there are a great deal of healthcare workers out there who show up every day and give all of their heart.’ So what did I do? I went into dream time. I'm like, bring me the introduction to this book, because I just didn't feel like I could send it off. I woke up at 4:30 in the morning and I'm laying there in bed, and all of a sudden, just a whole flood of information came to me. I didn't pass go. I didn't stop. I didn't pass go. I went straight to my computer. Didn't even get dressed and I sat down and I wrote 3000 words in under an hour. My husband got up to go to work and he could hear me back there, pecking away. And he came in to see what I was doing. I literally put my hand in his face because if I so much as broke my state for one minute to answer his question, I was going to lose it all. I knew it because many, many times I get important information to share with my audience, to share with my clients. Whether it's social media podcast episode in a one on one. I wake up anywhere between three and five in the morning. Sometimes it's early as two. And as I'm laying there, just chilling out, I don't stress about waking up because I know that's my air fingers, quote, “witching hour”. When that information comes I know I have to act on it in some way.
[00:11:47] Now, sometimes the information's not immediately meant to be shared, so I put it into my notes app on my phone so I can share it at a later date. And that's how I roll with that. So use your dream time, tell your sub, bring me the lesson in a way that I can understand it. Remember and bring me the lesson in a way that I can understand it, and then tell your subconscious mind what you want it to do. Go into dream time and help me to understand how I can solve this issue or how I can connect with this person? Or what are the next steps in my business? How do I pivot moving forward? And that's it. That's the episode for today. I love, love, love, dream time. Sometimes it's a bunch of metaphors. It makes no sense. Sometimes it makes perfect sense. Sometimes it sends me in a direction to research something, something will come up and I'm like, well, what does this mean? And then I begin researching what came up and I find my answer there. And then, sometimes it's just ordinary dreams. My brain is rehashing some things that it's discarding from the past. And it's just like a slideshow of things from the past that really don't mean anything. And I've put zero meaning on it. because of that. There are some great books out there on dream time. This is what I will tell you when it comes to dream interpretation. If you're looking for someone to help you interpret your dreams, the best person in the world to interpret your dreams is you because only, you know, what you were feeling and thinking and the dream and the context of everything in the dream. But I will tell you this, pay attention to numbers, pay attention to animals, pay attention to symbols because those things, when you go and you research the meaning of those things, as it pertains to dreams, you can sometimes find your answers there. It’s just plain as the nose on your face, as my grandmother would say anyway. I hope you enjoyed this episode and I will be back next week.
Hey everybody, we are going a different direction today. Welcome back. I'm excited that you are here. Today I wanna talk about the surprise benefits of doing the deep subconscious work, because there are surprises that people get. Unexpected things can happen, so I wanna share with you some of the wins that my clients have gotten in my group program, as well as one on one work. Because what I have found is that in my group program, people get so much added benefit out of that because things that they never considered are brought up by other participants, you know. Questions, insights, life experiences, and light bulbs just pop off all the time in the group program. It's a 10 week program. It's actually, as this episode is released, we're about three weeks into it. It will, be the first of the year when I run it again. So you want to be on my email list so that you know when that rolls out or you can just message me on social media and let me know that you want to be in the group program when that rolls out. But here let's just let's roll with this.
[00:02:32] So one of the unexpected benefits that my clients get is they truly truly cannot grasp what it means to be neutral about their past until it happens, and what that literally means for their life. So take one client, for example, came to me for stress and tension in her neck. She always had tight muscles in her neck and she wanted to take care of that. She felt it was emotional in nature. Now, when she and I connected, she had not shared with me that from time to time, she would have what felt like a panic attack. Now she wasn't diagnosed with these, but she would just “get triggered” by something and hyperventilate and feel overwhelmed. So we do this work because, if you've ever read Dr. John Sarno's book, “Mind Body RX”, then you will know that he says that chronic discomfort in the body is caused by repressed rage. We did this work together and once we went through a process of forgiveness, there was peace. This is the one thing that surprises all of my clients. They truly had never in their life experienced true peace. Now, what was the unexpected benefit of doing that work? Because there was a component of everything that involved this individual's father. As a full grown adult, there was fear and trepidation around even visiting her father because of everything that had happened and the expectations around the current behavior that was happening. After we did this work, she was able to spend time with him, accepting him for who he was with no expectations and to be at peace completely free of fear, free of any resentment, any frustration. And, shortly afterwards, there were some changes in his health and she was able to be present with him to be at peace with their relationship to reconcile that relationship. And when he transitioned, she had closure. She had closure.
[00:05:18] Another unexpected benefit, if you've listened to the podcast, if I think it's episode 11, it might be 10, it's the interview with Justina, and she talks about how her son after we did the work for the first time, jumped up into her arms, hugged her and said, I love you. He was never, an affectionate; I shouldn't say never affectionate, but he, he was not a touch affectionate child. Her hugs were not how he connected with her. And when she let go of what she was dealing with, he, I mean, we did another interview back in February and he just, he loves on her all the time. Put a price on that for me. Because I know so many entrepreneurs and business owners and business leaders who do what they do, because they are determined to break the generational pattern of what they grew up in. Whether it was poverty, a stressed household, financial insecurity, whatever those things were, and then you get into this cycle of being so dedicated to your business the one thing that you, wanted to do was be able to be present with your children and now, you don't know how to do that because you feel guilty when you're not in the business. You feel guilty when you're with your kids, because you're thinking about the business, those kinds of things. So yeah.
[00:06:50] I've had clients unexpectedly lose 10 to 15 pounds, no dieting, no suggestions for weight loss, but when they drop the weight of the emotion and the beliefs that they were carrying around, the weight fell off. So let me see, what's another unexpected one. I'm going off a memory here. So you have to bear with me just a little bit because a lot of these things overlap. Another person, I think I mentioned it in a recent episode, we we're dealing with people pleasing, right? People pleasing. Oh, my gosh. Talk about a complete pivot in change in life. This person is now traveling the world, running a business that they love. An independent location business, and is no longer in corporate. And when you. See the photos, like the social media post you can see the change in the face. That's another thing. Oh my gosh. I have worked with clients where we do a session; at the beginning of the session, I'm just gonna toss some numbers out here to give you an example. At the beginning of the session, let's say they're 40 years old at the beginning of the session they're tense, they're stressed, they're carrying the weight of all this emotion. They look. 50 55 years old because they're all of this stuff just on the inside it's just putting so much weight on 'em. And at the end of the session, they can look 30, 35 years old. They literally gain back years of their life in a single session. Now, can I predict when that's gonna happen? No, but it's just one of those beautiful, unexpected things.
[00:08:42] People have come to work on something to do with business and find that their marriage just, it rekindles. Something shifts, something changes, and things just start to fall into place. These are things that you can't necessarily put a finger on. You can't put a price on them. And they're super, super impactful. One of my recent clients was just in this real head space. She has a great high ticket offer, but she would get in her head from month to month. You know, this client's rolling off. I gotta get another new client in. How did… So we, worked through the things that were connected to these thoughts, and feelings. I use conversational hypnosis a lot. And when I say conversational hypnosis, I'm not talking Ericsonian metaphors and stories and those kinds of things I'm talking about triggering the subconscious mind and pushing the subconscious to solve its own problem. In a sense, what I'm doing in the session is, I'm guiding the client a much better way to think in terms of problem solving so that they can unravel their own knots. I'm just kind of like pushing and guiding them there. So the things that were coming up in these sessions ended up not having anything to do with money, but, let me tell you the things that have shifted and unfolded and unlocked for her are unbelievable. People that she has known for years, now all of a sudden it's like, oh, what are you up to? I love what you're doing. Let's see how we can partner together. How can we work together? How can I take what you're doing and bringing it in, and she is signing clients effortlessly on a monthly retainer at 50% higher than what she was when we were working together. It was just that simple. And she is in this extremely rewarding trusting, allowing, letting it be an easy place.
[00:11:10] So anyway, if that sounds like something you want, hit me up, let me know. You can get on the email list by going to Pennychiasson.com and signing up for the mindset myth, sign up for the mindset myth. That will get you on my email list. And I will let you know when the next workshop is rolling out in January. I can't wait to see what unfolds with this group of highly successful people, because I was blown away with what happened in spring. Each group tends to be unique and aligned in its own way, and I just really look forward to being able to share with you some of the takeaways that people have to give you more examples of what's possible when you simply tame your inner dialogue. When you take care of what it is that's creating this voice that causes you to feel less confident than you should be. Let's work on it. Because you're here to make an impact. And if you're allowing your subconscious thinking to hold you back, you're not stepping into the full potential of the service that you could be offering the world. And I'm here for it, man. I am here for you, and ladies. I use man colloquially. But anyway, I guess that's showing my age and the time that I grew up in and, there's always areas for us to work and improve. I'll see you next week.
If you want to listen more to Justina's initial transformation, listen to her first guest episodes here. To learn more about how our hypnosis work affected long her business and relationships in the long term, give this episode a listen.
Hey, welcome back. People often ask me how to know if they're a right fit to work with me. And the answer is it depends. There are a lot of things that go into my personal client selection process. And that's because I want to know I can get the person, the result that they've asked for. Now you and I both know that there are no guarantees in life, however, when we are smart about our choices, we exponentially increase the likelihood of that outcome. Someone recently asked me, you know, penny, what is your success rate? And I'm like, 90 or 95% closer to 95 than it is to 90. And they're like, really? And I said, well, yeah, that's because I'm very selective in my client process.
[00:02:03] Now, a lot of times people might not think they're ready when they really are. And that is because we have bias towards ourselves. We have self judgment. We see ourselves through a different lens than someone who is objective about our problem. When someone shows up and they wanna connect with me, to work one on one, the number one key component to maximizing the likelihood that you’re going to get the outcome that you desire is complete honesty. I do not reveal what takes place on my interview calls. It's a sales call, but it's more of an interview because I'm not going to sell anything. I'm not going to propose that we work together unless we are a fit. And the most important aspect of this is honesty. I ask a lot of questions. Some of them are deeply personal because they allow me to assess one: The readiness to do the work. But two: What are the things that you have never considered that are contributing to your problem that might be contributing to your problem?
[00:03:26] You know, we always talk about the layers of the onion and, sometimes people, they're looking at one aspect that they want to address. And they don't realize that this other thing is actually the more important issue to address. That the thing that they reach out to me for is a superficial layer of a much deeper problem. And if I am not aware of the much deeper problem, then what can happen is when we move into the work, we can begin to get a result. But then all of a sudden a wall goes up and. , we make progress, but we can't get the complete resolution. And what happens is we're not dealing with the real problem. Now, sometimes the way these things are linked together, if you simply know which the more prominent issue is, it's easy to unravel to get you the result that you want. So for example, someone can reach out to me and say, you know, I want a little more self-confidence. I get nervous every time I have to go on camera. I've been doing it for years. I just don't wanna be nervous anymore. And we do the work and we get great results. We're having great headway. And then all of a sudden another issue will pop up. And when we explore it deeper, it will turn out. Perhaps this is just an example. Perhaps this person didn't tell me that they had a binge eating disorder that has not been addressed. There's a whole other component of things under there that are impacting what we're working on. We're just working on a peripheral issue, not the core issue.
[00:05:26] And before anyone reaches out to me and wants hypnosis for their binge eating disorder, I do not work with binge eating disorders. And here's why. The research, the established literature says that persons with diagnose binge eating disorders of any kind, be it anorexia bulimia or whatever that might look like for you. If you meet diagnostic criteria for any binge eating disorder, it requires a team approach. And that is outside of what I do. I'm not a healthcare professional in that realm. I'm not a therapist, but I mean, we made significant headway, but without addressing the other issue. It wasn't gonna happen. And it's not something that I address. Now. I have worked with many clients who had binge eating disorders in the past. They worked with therapists and they were able to move beyond that. They took care of it. Then the work that we do together is actually fairly simple. We're still just dealing with a peripheral belief, a peripheral issue, but we're not having to deal with that much deeper thing.
[00:06:40] So honesty is huge, especially, if there are significant repeating patterns of something in your past. It changes the way that I look at the work we do together. So take, for example, you're needing to make a pivot in your business. We're in a recession, depending on who's definition you're going on these days. And, say all of a sudden, outta nowhere, you've never, ever, ever had an issue with your confidence or your clarity around your business. And now all of a sudden, outta nowhere with no rhyme or reason, you're like, oh my God, I'm in this place. And I, I have to move and I can't move. I feel like I'm in quick sand. I can't move if you and I connect and I'm asking you questions, and this has never showed up in your past before. There's one way to handle it. Then if you and I connected and you're like, oh yeah, you know, throughout my life at different times, in college this happened then in high school, this happened. And you know, this comes up for me a lot where, when it comes time for the rubber to meet the road, I find myself kind of like in quicksand, but in the past, I've always been able to push through it right now. I can't afford the time to be stuck here and push through. I gotta move. Then we're gonna deal with it in a different way because every client is individual. Every issue is individual and you need an individualized approach to get you to the end result that you want.
[00:08:20] The other thing about working with me is; I wanna know what you've done about it before. I wanna know. Have you worked with other coaches? Have you worked with other hypnotists? Are you journaling? Are you meditating? Do you do Yoga? Tai Chi? Like what are you bringing into your life to solve this issue? And it gives me a lot of insight as to where we are on the spectrum of solving the issue because ethically. I don't want to sell you less than what you need, but I also do not want to sell you more than what you need. So we take a look at that. I look at your mindset. What are your expectations in the process? If you are using the words I'm stuck. I'm struggling. Everything is hard. Everything is so hard. I don't know why this keeps happening to me. I'm stuck here. I'm stuck here. I don't know what to do then. There's a pretty good chance. You and I are not going to be a fit to work together because even that language of stuck and struggling is so disempowering. There's a lot of work that goes into just changing the way we talk to ourselves. And if you have addressed your self talk to a large degree, I mean, hell sometimes I even say, you know what, I'm feeling really stuck right now, but I'm not stuck. Right. There's a difference. And depending on the degree that this is woven in your language gives me an indicator of how much support, how much resources outside of our one on one work together are gonna be required to get you to where you want to go because the work that you and I do together, I can facilitate, we can get you a shift, but if you're not going to change your habits and thinking, you're gonna talk yourself right back into the same place. If you're one of those people, who's going to talk yourself back into the same place and you're not insightful and resourceful about it, then most likely we're not gonna be a fit to work together.
[00:10:35] Again, you'll notice. I'm not saying absolutely because there's context, right? If you are in momentum and you have come 90% of the way, and you just need to jump this hurdle to get the rest of the way that's different. Sometimes when we hit a rough spot, we tend to revert back to old language when we're in a rough spot. That's why I have you fill out an application. I see where your mind is when you were in enough of a situation that, you know what, damnit, I need some help. Let me fill out this application versus where you are when we actually connect, because our life is not a straight line. It's not straight up straight down, straight 45 degree angle, 60 degree angle, nothing like that. We are riding waves in our life every day, based on our context and our circumstances. So it gives me a basis of comparison of where you are.
[00:11:32] Now, there are some absolutes on things I do not work with. If you have been diagnosed with major clinical depression and you got therapy, you're on medications for that. If you have any dissociative disorder, I do not work with clients with dissociative disorder, all of my work is virtual. And, I don't have a connection to your therapist or other professional to navigate things that might come up because, therapist might perceive things from a different light than I do. Bipolar. Schizophrenia. Any type of psychosis, I'm really focused on working with your confidence, your motivation, helping you to move forward, to unlock your full potential. And I, I know this it's like, oh, everybody says that unlock your full potential. We don't recognize how our mind can hold us back until it's no longer holding us back. That's the reality of the situation. We truly have no idea how much our life is run through the filter of the subconscious mind, how much our decisions that we think we're making we aren't really making until we have this stuff out of the way.
[00:12:48] So if you are interested in working with me. If you are motivated, if you are willing to commit to some simple mindset, work between sessions, if you are focused on the solution and not the problem, and you are willing to be a partner in this dance that gets you to where you want to go. I want you to go over the website. I want you to fill out an application and let's see what this looks like. Based on what you heard in this call, unless you're dealing with one of the things I said, I absolutely do not work with, make no assumptions as to whether or not you are a fit. Unless you're wanting me to fix this for you, and you think that everyone else in the world is to blame for your problems, because if everyone else in the world is blamed for your problems and there's zero self responsibility for your role in what has taken place in your life, then I can tell you, while I might provide you some guidance as to how to move forward you won't like working with me. So most likely in that scenario, I'm not even gonna give you the opportunity.
[00:14:00] And I know that sounds harsh and that sounds hard, but you have to be a willing participant in the process. And if you're not willing to be a willing participant to take that self responsibility to take action on your own behalf, then you're not gonna get the result you're looking for. And then what's gonna happen is you're gonna be pissed off at me, even though I show up 110%. I mean, we both know there's no such thing as 110%, but I show up with my heart for my clients. I show up dedicated to helping you get to where you want to go. And I'm not going to expend my energy, my effort, my time, my personal responsibility if you aren't willing to show up in your personal responsibility. And let's work together because the kind of work I do is not stage hypnosis. It is not what you see in the movies. This is life changing transformative stuff. So unless you really wanna transform and have a life changing experience then, don't apply. If you do then do. Yeah, I know there are gonna be some people who are going to disagree with this episode there. I know my email box is going to fill up and say, how dare you as a hypnotist, say these things we are supposed to help everybody. I'm not required by anybody to help everybody. I will do my best for the people who will show up and allow me to serve them because I'm here for my clients. I'm not here for me. I will show up for people who will allow me to serve them at my greatest capacity. That's who I wanna show up for. I wanna show up for you because if you've hung out to the end of this episode, then I know that you're looking for someone who is committed to you, committed to your results.
And that's what I'm about. So click the link in the show. Fill out an application. Let's see if we're a fit to work together because you know what, nothing lights me on fire better than seeing the people I work with, get what they want and you deserve it. So go click that link, fill out that application, get on my calendar,rest assured if there are any red flags on the application, I will reach out to you because I know your time is valuable.
Until next week.

[00:00:00] Penny: We're gonna talk about something a little unsexy today, but it is something that is going to make a difference in your life. We're gonna talk about emotions because I'm seeing some things in the online coaching space, whether it's in groups. In short form content that I'm seeing of people that I follow, that I find detrimental
[00:00:30] our emotions are good period. In the story. Our emotions are good. People often talk about their north star, their why in. Part of that is emotion driven. Your emotions are a compass to leading a fulfilling and satisfying life. If you want to have a [00:01:00] self actual lies life, if you want to live in authenticity, then you have to become a master of your emotions.
[00:01:10] And when I say a master of your emotions, I'm not talking about controlling your outward appearance, as opposed to the way you feel on inside. I'm not talking about pushing things down and managing them. Though mastery of emotions is about managing, but it's not about managing in a way that you are exerting control so that you are not reacting.
[00:01:38] If you find that you have to control yourself so that you are not reacting, then you are not responding to your emotions correctly, and it's not your fault. It's not like our parents were giving owners manuals to teach us how to help us to satisfy our emotions, [00:02:00] to help us through those moments of understanding what we're feeling, how our circumstances and our thoughts contribute to that, so that we can just satisfied in the moment and move on and leave that moment behind us feeling completely.
[00:02:18] Neutral about it because when you have satisfied your emotions appropriately, when you look back to the past, you can be neutral about it. If it's something that was unpleasant, you maintain what you maintained the insight. You grow from it, but it's no longer eating at you inside now with happy emotions through desire.
[00:02:49] When we look back on memories through desire, we can tap back into that joy, the happiness, the love, the excitement, whatever it was that we were feeling.[00:03:00] We typically don't tune into unpleasant emotions. By choice. Unless when we start thinking about something, we choose to allow ourselves to ruminate on it.
[00:03:13] Then we can, bring things back again. But if some aspect of the past, a memory of thought about something unpleasant, if it just pops into your mind, it should not trigger anger. It should not trigger things that make you feel down depressed. Grief being an exception. And I'm gonna talk about grief.
[00:03:36] This is actually going to be a long episode. It's going to be an episode that you are going to come back and listen to again and again, I should actually charge what I'm sharing with you in this episode, because if you take it and you implement it and you use it, it will change your [00:04:00] life. I'm going to use anger as an example, because anger is a very misunderstood emotion.
[00:04:07] We think it's bad.
[00:04:09] We have been conditioned in society that it's not an acceptable emotion motion that we shouldn't feel this. The first thing I'm gonna hit on here is gratitude. Bypassing it's. When we take a situation that was unfair, that angered us where we were wronged and we can see the silver lining, whether it was an opportunity for personal growth.
[00:04:38] We. Changed direction in our life. And it resulted in us having a much better life. Maybe we learned to be a better parent because of what happened. Maybe we learned to be a better partner, a better business person. If you're feeling that anger and you say, you know what? I just need to [00:05:00] be grateful that.
[00:05:02] And I don't care how you feel in the blank. If you are doing that, you are gratitude by passing. You are not dealing with the anger and that anger will come back and it will bite you in the ass. If it doesn't bite you in the ass, in your relationships, if it doesn't bite you in the ass, in your. decisions.
[00:05:21] If it doesn't bite you in the ass, in your emotional and mental health, it will bite you in the ass. In your physical health anger. It has been shown in studies. Anger is more deadly than a type, a personality.
[00:05:39] I might circle back later and throw in an example. I don't wanna get off track here, but gratitude bypassing. If you were using your silver lining to condition yourself that it's inappropriate for you to feel anger or to push that emotion down, please stop doing that. Instead, I want you to ask [00:06:00] yourself what about this was unfair and that's gonna tell you the next steps to take.
[00:06:06] What about this was unfair when you understand what about it was unfair? Ask yourself two questions. Number one. Is can I make fair? Making fair means going to the other person who was involved perhaps and having a conversation in letting them know how this event in the past made you feel. even if your present day self.
[00:06:31] This is a scenario. It's not gonna be true for everyone. If your present day self can see that the person who hurt you simply didn't know better, that they're incapable of understanding. I don't care that your conscious present day self says that. And part of you may be going, oh, well, I shouldn't hurt them.
[00:06:50] They never actually meant to do it. Mm. Go have that conversation. You can do it from a place of peace and say, [00:07:00] you know what? I'm just looking to move on. I, don't currently Harbor any ill feelings, but I want to just be able to clear this off my plate. and move on from it and start fresh and have a conversation.
[00:07:14] If you can have that conversation without being attached to them saying, I'm sorry. Do that, if you go into it being attached to them saying, I'm sorry, then, it can just end up fueling that anger. The goal of the process is to gain some insight from this person, because as you talk about what hurt you more than likely you're going to become emotional.
[00:07:42] And when you become emotional, your subconscious is activated. And if you can have that conversation and get that insight,
[00:07:48] it can literally knock the leg right out from under that table. So something to consider there, if it is a situation [00:08:00] where this person, so totally hasn't changed and you are aware that if I address this, it is going to turn into a huge, ugly mess. It's not anything I want to bring into my life. Then there's a process of forgiveness to consider.
[00:08:17] And in forgiveness, you want to allow this insight to occur in your forgiveness process. And this is just for you. They know nothing about it. You're never gonna tell them about it. You would never give them the benefit of knowing that you have given yourself this gift, because they're gonna twist it around and they're gonna, they're gonna ma make it about them.
[00:08:41] Right? One of the ways that I recommend to people who aren't doing one on one, work with me. To go through this forgiveness process is to do a journaling process. Like a lot of people write the letter, they burn it and all of these things, but there is no insight [00:09:00] in that process unless you've worked with a counselor, a therapist, and they've given you advanced journaling techniques.
[00:09:08] So what I tell people to do is to imagine you're having the conversation with this. and you pour it all out. One paper you want to use pen and paper or pencil and paper do not type it. Do not use your iPad. You want the, stimulation that comes from the energy that you expend physically to write this out and you're just gonna dig into.
[00:09:37] You hurt me when you made me think you made me feel and just begin to pour that emotion out. If you allow yourself to tap into that emotion, what is going to happen is randomly things that you totally forgot about. Totally forgot about. At the time when it happened was really a [00:10:00] thorn in your side, these things are gonna come up and you pour that emotion out and then allow yourself to sit and ponder what happened in this person's life that this whole thing transpired, because somewhere along the way, We picked up misperceptions.
[00:10:25] We had interpretations that what this person did was about us and in the coaching industry, if you're familiar with anything, you're familiar with the concept that, what comes out of someone has everything to do with them. And it's not about us. I don't care if your father was an abusive asshole.
[00:10:49] When he was abusing, it had nothing to do with you. However, when we are younger, when we don't have a [00:11:00] lifetime of context and experience and understanding to know these things, our subconscious mind, and an attempt to rationalize and to find a way to protect us and to safeguard us starts making assumptions.
[00:11:15] It's trying to define what's happening because it wants to protect us. Sometimes it makes the wrong assumption. Not because we did anything bad or wrong, but because we didn't have enough information. How many times, if you tried to solve a problem, when there was not enough information as an adult, you can go, you know what?
[00:11:36] I don't have enough information when we are younger childhood adolescents, we cannot do that. Okay. So clearly if we had a father who was an abusive asshole, maybe he drank too much. Maybe he ran around on mom. Maybe he could never keep a job who knows. It doesn't matter. Something [00:12:00] happened that triggered all of that because nobody wants.
[00:12:07] To be that person. Nobody, when they're five years old, thinks to themselves, I want to grow up and be a horrible person. If you can allow yourself that insight while you're in this emotional state. And then you say, you know what, it's time to let this go. And then begin journaling with the words I
[00:12:29] forgive you because I'm worthy. Of the freedom that forgiveness is gonna give me. I forgive you because yeah, you just simply didn't know any better and I'm no longer gonna leak my personal power over it. And you keep going with the, I forgive you because you just keep putting ending on it after ending on it, after ending on it until you have poured everything outta your soul, and then just let it be done at that point.
[00:12:56] If you wanna burn it by all means burn.[00:13:00] But know this. If you have a pattern with a person where they just repeatedly over and over, things just kept happening, there might be a part of you that has connected with your, present day anger. As being a protective mechanism, sometimes our subconscious mind won't reveal everything that we need to let go, and it will hold onto some of those nuggets.
[00:13:32] So what will happen is your anger will be greatly minimized, but it, won't be gone. That's where having the benefit. A professional like myself who is well versed in emotions and the patterns and the beliefs and the protective mechanisms that the brain puts in place that will allow you to move forward from this point, because we can see here and [00:14:00] recognize the patterns.
[00:14:02] and the subconscious moments that reveal, oh, there's something else there. Basically, even in hypnosis, you can have blind spots and a great hypnotist will reveal those blind spots so that you can move past them, shine the light and let it go. But this is a great way to take care of. When I work with clients, here are some things I want you to know about anger specifically.
[00:14:37] One is that in women, a lot of times we identify our anger as sadness because when we were much younger, we were taught. Little girls shouldn't be angry. It's not nice to be angry. It doesn't look pretty. It doesn't look nice. And this is gonna depend on your age as to whether or not you heard those terms.
[00:14:57] Growing up in the deep south in [00:15:00] the seventies, a phrase I often heard was pretty is, is pretty does, and that meant don't be angry. Be seen, not heard. . It matters what other people think. There are a lot of things that get rolled into that one. Right? So a lot of times as women, we think we feel sad when we're really angry because sad is an acceptable emotion.
[00:15:27] ? Sad is acceptable for. A lot of men, you're taught that you have to manage that anger. You have to stuff it down. You can't let, 'em see you be weak. You have to manage it. When I hear someone say that they have to manage their anger, I know that what they have to do is set themselves free from something in the past, because there was some moment where something triggered.
[00:15:55] The mechanism that this is unfair and anger is the [00:16:00] fight in fight or flight. Your brain is not willingly going to let go of old anger. If it believes it's protecting you. It's a process. And here's what I can tell you is that you can be free of it. This is one of the most rewarding aspects of the work that I do.
[00:16:21] And it is the one thing that changed my personal life because I had anger. I was using that silver lining. I was gratitude. Bypassing. I have experience with this. I know exactly what it looks like when I see it. I was gratitude, bypass it like crazy and did not realize that anger was eating me up alive until my emotional health hit the wall 80 miles an hour.
[00:16:52] There's a whole podcast episode on that, sometimes that anger is at ourselves and that's okay [00:17:00] too. There's a way to resolve that as well. But in your day to day life, as you're going through your day and something is unfair and it makes you angry. The first thing you do is say, okay, what's causing me to feel angry and maybe Bob didn't reply to your email.
[00:17:19] You wanted to reply within 24 hours and Bob has not replied to your email and you're instantly angry. Well, is that really unfair? Do you have enough information, . So you might spike off with that anger and you're like, you know what? I sent that on Monday morning and it's really not fair because.
[00:17:41] Bob is a project manager. He probably came in and had a hundred emails in his inbox. Right. Maybe he just didn't get to it yet. So should I really be angry? No. Let me send a follow up email. Boom. Anger is satisfied. Now take that same [00:18:00] scenario, And. you're like, okay, let me send a follow up email.
[00:18:05] Then Bob emails you back. And Bob says, you know what? I think that this really isn't a priority. So I just put it in my procrastinate folder. I'll get to it next week. Well, I think most reasonable people would've emailed back and said, you know, this isn't a priority for me right now. Do you really have to have a, like, there would've been some kind of communication, right?
[00:18:30] Well, that is unfair, right? It's a little unfair that he just tabled it without communication. So how do you satisfy that? I would go straight to Bob and say, you know what? Let's work on our communication. I can understand it's not a priority for you. However, I was expecting an answer today. If you had let me know yesterday, It's not a priority for you.
[00:18:55] I could have adjusted accordingly. So what can we [00:19:00] do? So this does not happen again because this has inconvenienced me in X, Y, Z way. And how do we move forward? Now if Bob's a real jerk, something else may ensue after that. But that's the way you address that in a healthy way. It should satisfy the anger.
[00:19:21] If you address the person and you come to a satisfactory resolution. this podcast isn't about, conflict management, but I think you get the idea of what I'm. If you found out that it was an oversight with Bob. Say it was an oversight and you were seething and you were stewing over it and you're thinking, God, this happened again.
[00:19:46] This always happens. Why do these things keep happening to me? Ho, ho ho. What you're feeling is you're triggered in the present moment. , but there is stuff that you need to let go that you are [00:20:00] still caring with you. That's a sign. If you have an interaction with someone and you find in that interaction, that the enormity of your emotions exceeds the situation that you're in, that you are overreacting, that you were triggered, that you reacted, you didn't respond, there's work to do there.
[00:20:20] That does not have to happen. Can be free of that. If you're experiencing sadness, what have you lost? If you're feeling guilt, what have you done that you need to make fair about? Sometimes when we feel guilty, feeling that we've done something wrong, sometimes come to find out the other person didn't perceive it that way at all.
[00:20:44] We're judging ourselves through our own lens. are fear, like worry, nervousness, having these repeating thoughts of irrational fears, ask yourself what is there for me to be afraid of. If there's [00:21:00] nothing for you to be afraid of begin to retrain your mind. This is simply your thoughts running outta control.
[00:21:06] Learn to manage your thoughts. Stop your thoughts. Sometimes we feel like we have to hold onto fear. We can look back and we can see something that we were afraid in the moment.
[00:21:20] And we hold onto that fear. It's like, it becomes a part of our identity. Well, if you wanna move forward and be happy and successful and fulfilled, you have to let that go. You have to reframe that. And that has to take place subconscious. If you're holding onto that as part of your identity, that is where the subconscious work comes in.
[00:21:43] We can afraid that we're not gonna be good enough that we're not gonna be smart enough that people may find that we're a fraud in business because we don't give ourselves as much credit for being as good as other people see that we are. We've made . A decision in business in the [00:22:00] past where it ended up in a really bad business deal.
[00:22:03] And that business deal emotionally shook us so bad that now every decision we make is through the lens of what if, what if, what if I screw this up again? How do I avoid getting in another business deal like that? See when our brain puts emotional importance on. So. It's gonna hold onto it. There are a lot of subconscious techniques. There's absolutely nothing wrong with affirmations. There's absolutely nothing wrong with scripting. There's absolutely nothing wrong with generic hypnosis audios. Those things are all great until we hit the level of the protective mechanism and without a guide to facilitate you through the release of those things.
[00:22:49] Our mind it's it's, it's gonna hold on to what it deems important. And if you wanna set yourself free so that you can unlock your full [00:23:00] potential and move forward, you have to tame that inner dialogue and our inner dialogue triggers, emotions, emotions trigger further internal dialogue. And this is where the spiral comes in.
[00:23:13] And when we hit a spiral, a lot of things can happen. We can throw ourselves into our work. We can throw ourselves into exercise. We can throw ourselves into gambling. We can throw ourselves into drinking. We can throw ourselves into overeating. It can look like a lot of different things, right. So if you're distracting away from your feelings, I encourage you to reflect on everything that I've shared in this episode.
[00:23:42] Listen to it again and again, because each time you listen, I guarantee you will have further revelations about yourself, about the way you think about the way you react, whether it's in business or your personal life, and allow these things to begin to [00:24:00] unravel. if you were someone who has been in the work, if you've worked with coaches, If you've worked with therapists and you feel like you are 80 to 90% of the way there, but there is just this little thing.
[00:24:16] There's one little thing that you can't seem to put your finger on that you feel like if that one little thing moved and shifted that it would unlock a whole new world for you. I want you to reach out. We are gonna put the link in the show notes. I want you to apply for a call with me and let's see if there is something that I can do to help you to unlock this and shift it.
[00:24:42] And that if we're a fit to work together, you do not need to be ruled. By your emotions, your emotions are important. Your emotions are good. They're telling you how to fulfill yourself. They're letting you [00:25:00] know when you are out of alignment with what it is that you need.
[00:25:05] The problem comes in when we don't know how to properly manage them in the moment. And when we have a backpack full of rocks. From the past that we carry around us every day. If you wanna put down that backpack full of rocks and get on your way, click the link, fill out the application. I always have some availability, even though it's limited, just reach out.
[00:25:32] Let's see how we can work together. Have a great week.
Listen to Episode 21 here!
Want to work with me to start the work at managing your emotions, sign up for a call here.
What is the secret to happiness and to joy in life? Is this a question that you've ever asked yourself? Maybe you tell yourself you don't know what happiness is and you’ve really wondered what life is all about. What's the point. When we come into this world, we forget everything that we knew before we got here. Yes. I'm talking about encarnation. Yes, I am talking about our soul. Yes, I am talking about spirituality.
We've all been in this rodeo more than once. And we forget when we come into this life, what it was that we knew before, but we all come in with something that is unique to us and no one else. For those of you who don't know, I apprentice with an indigenous shaman. He was brought up by shamans in Mexico. And what he shared with me is that the one thing that we all have that no one can ever take from us is our authenticity. It's the uniqueness of who we are. And it's part of our lesson in this lifetime to remember who we are. One of the ways that we remember who we are is to get out of our normal every day, 3D thinking. In other words, we have to get out of our head.
[00:02:55] I never knew that I was going to be on this path when I first learned about hypnosis. And when I reopened my hypnosis practice in 2018, I certainly never dreamed my journey would take me to where I am now. Part of the lesson in remembering our authenticity is to follow the bread crumbs that life is giving us. We follow the bread crumbs of what feels good. Sometimes we can have an experience where we just know something is right. We can't put our finger on it. That is a part of us that is remembering who we are, and it's bringing us that wisdom to know yes, go that way or no, don't go that way. People call it their intuition. They call it their gut. Has there ever been a time where your instincts, your intuition said go left and you're like, nah, you know, that sounds good, and that feels good. However, I've been told I should go right. And you went right. And you ended up in a place where you were either in a job that you hated or you chose to go to college for something, when all you ever wanted to do was to be a writer or to create art or to start your own business. And then someday you're looking back and you're like, Jesus. I like wasted this whole hunk of my life. It's because we didn't learn our lesson when we remembered.
[00:04:42] So each and every choice that we make takes us on our path and it guides us in a direction. Now here's the thing. Do we need to beat ourselves up when we look back and go, damn, I didn't get it. Like I wasted all this time. No. Be in the present moment because when we start looking back and we have our shoulda, woulda, coulda, we're living in the past. When we're living in the past, we are unable to move towards our future. So how do we clear those things out? it's interesting that Don Javier, he is the shaman that I work with, t's interesting that he used an analogy that is identical to the analogy that I learned in hypnosis, except the application is slightly different, but the same, and that is of a hard drive. We all come in with our basic system and when we're born, like, I, use this with clients for a long time before he taught me this from a different perspective. From the time we are born, we are programmed. Our basic operating system is our needs that need to be met. We're seeking love. We're seeking safety, food, water, sex. Those are our basics, right? That's the operating system. We come with everything else that comes to us is programming that the world put into our head. It is programming that we were given by our parents, by our environment, and our perceptions and interpretations of it.
[00:06:31] I'm gonna drop a serious truth on you in this. You might hear this and you might be like, you know what? I'm not listening to this anymore. And that's okay, because this is, this is a time where a lot of things are changing in our world and there's room only for the truth. The truth is that 100% of everything that we believe. And that includes me 100% of everything we believe is biased, and it's not truth. I want you to think about that. It's biased and it's not truth. So we have all this programming that comes in. It influences the way we think, it influences the way we believe, it influences what we choose for ourselves. We're choosing based upon what someone else put in our head. And there are things that we observe that we learn. There are things that sink in that we have no conscious awareness of. It happens all the time that later in life, it influences our decisions, our choices, it influences how we feel. So our job is to take our life experiences, and when we notice that we're being triggered, a trigger is a sign that there's something inside of us that we need to address because a trigger is based on a past experience. When we react, we're reacting because the subconscious mind is taking over because of past experience. When we respond we're in the present moment. So the first thing he told me is you have to clear out the programming that doesn't serve you. You have to clear out the programming that doesn't serve you. Then on a day to day basis, the things that happen, these things fill up our RAM. So think about, you know, you go to the office, there's gossip going down at the office or someone didn't do their end on a project, or maybe somebody's cheating on somebody, whatever it may be, the 3d stuff that happens. Right. All of these thoughts are being processed mentally and emotionally, even if they have nothing to do with us. It's one of the reasons why I do not watch the news anymore. Periodically I will check in the snippets and as soon as I check into it, I'm like, you know what? I'm checking out because I can choose to allow the news to influence how I decide for my life or I can just be me and decide for my life.
[00:09:03] So when these things come into my mind, I have to work, I shouldn't say work, I have to stay in the practice every single day of clearing this stuff outta my mind, because if we just kind of do a one time clean up, and we don't clean up again, then the garbage is gonna pile up. So imagine a college dorm room where the kids all go, they clean up, they empty out all the trash and then they never had to empty the trash again, just say they only had to do it once a year. Well, at the end of the year, the garbage is gonna be piled pretty high. It's gonna be a stinky, smelly dorm, not a very pleasant place to be. The same thing happens with our thoughts. If we're not doing the practices that clear our thoughts, that clear our mind, that set us free from living according to the news, or the gossip, or what other people are constantly in our ear telling us we should do, we shouldn't do, what we should think, and how we should feel, and all of those things, then we're not gonna be able to make a choice for us. We're not going to be able to connect with our authenticity because our mind is gonna be like a little hamster on a wheel.
[00:10:19] It's going to be constantly ruminating and processing these things, and we don't want that. Where we want to live is in a place where we can be present every day. And this is truly what mindfulness is, is that when you're going through a task, whether you're working on programming on your computer or your designing something, you're in a meeting with someone you're preparing to have a conversation, an interview, whatever it might be. You want to be present in that moment instead of going through the motions, because for so many of us, the jobs that we do, or at least I used to do not now, but when I was in anesthesia, my job was so routine that I didn't have to think anymore. Like there are certain steps that they are just always, always the same. And when we get in the process of going through the steps mindlessly, that's when we make mistakes, that's when we miss something that's important because we're moving through it, mindlessly. There's actually a study in anesthesia on mindfulness in anesthesia, instead of getting caught up in that rut and just following that rut and not being mindful with each and every choice that was made in giving an anesthetic.
[00:11:57] So the same thing is true in our life. We need to be mindful. In everything that we do and something that is interesting, and I'm always wrapping my mind around it and reminding myself, as we remember things, we realize that we, know things. As we remember things, we realize that we know things and we don't understand how we know them. However, when you have truly remembered who you are and understand, and I'm still learning this lesson, you realize you know nothing. And when you come to the point that you realize you know nothing, then you're truly in your being. And that's really something to wrap your mind around. And I always will laugh at myself because sometimes, I'll be doing something and someone will say something and I want to come back with the right answer. And I just kind of have to laugh and stop myself and say, you know what? You know, nothing. You know, nothing. Am I perfect? No. Am I a work in progress? Yes, absolutely. But if you're looking for happiness, it comes down to remembering who you are because as you clear out all the head trash, and you can quiet in your mind, and you can just really observe and be mindful of where you are, you get back in touch with your intuition, you get back in touch with your knowing and with your knowing, your knowing will guide you. As you're asking yourself, when you make decisions, does this bring me joy? Does this move me closer to happiness? Does this move me closer to what I'm here to do? And if you're don't know what you're here to do, that's okay. I think most of us start out that way. Probably all of us start out that way.
[00:14:42] And we all find out as we learn our lessons in our own time. But when you allow yourself to just be curious and to follow that intuition, to follow that knowing, and to make choices based on that, then you will reconnect with that part of yourself. Not that you were ever disconnected, but it feels. disconnected. So that's my piece on really digging in to find that happiness. We have to remember who we are and to know that there is purpose to our life, that we are learning lessons along the way. And it's about being in the present moment and moving forward, not looking back because it just simply does not serve us.
I'll catch you next week.

Does it really have to be hard to overcome that anxiety that we bump up against from time to time in life and business. Is it really a long, hard journey to work through the issues that have created it and get past them. I'm not gonna be around the bush here. The answer's no, it absolutely does not. The prevalence of coaching, and I'm not knocking coaching let's just be 100% straight up, I have coaches I've had other coaches in the past, I have 100% benefited from coaching, but for people who have only given themselves the opportunity to work with coaches are only given themselves the opportunity to work with therapists, to work through normal average everyday things have this misperception that this is like some fucking cross you have to bear. And it's not. I mean, when we're engaging in therapy, when we're engaging in coaching, we are dealing with surface level strategies.
[00:02:14] I was recently a part of a conversation with someone I know who had an experience where they went through a week of an intense period of anxiety. And it all started with a decision that they made to go along with something that someone else wanted. So this person has a tendency to people, please. They went along with what this other person wanted, even though they knew that going into this situation, it was 100% something they did not want to do. 100%. So if you watch my previous podcast episode, you know, I've talked about alignment and values and what brings us happiness and joy. When we make a decision that throws us totally out of alignment, it's going to activate our subconscious mind because our subconscious mind does not like situations that cause us to feel unpleasant feelings. The mind just does not like it. So, what does it do? The mind fires off one thought, then it fires off another thought. And then the next thing you know, those thoughts begin to make you feel bad and you're going, why did I do this? And then it's… it's like firecrackers going off of emotion and thoughts. And we can end up in a spiral that creates this anxiousness, this anxiety. And there's just this perception that it takes forever to work through it. And I want to tell you that it does not. I'm actually gonna walk you through a couple of very short case studies to make my point.
[00:03:54] Now, as a former healthcare professional, I'm going to make this very clear. One: I'm not knocking therapy because with people who have diagnosed conditions, they have trauma and really complex issues around that therapy is totally appropriate. Is therapy appropriate for people dealing with normal everyday problems? Sure. You wanna see a therapist and if just talking about it makes you feel better. That's great. But I'm going to make clear that I'm not talking about clinically diagnosed anxiety, the anxiety that gets in the way of your living every single day, because here's the thing, I'm gonna go into this sidebar for 30 seconds and then I'm back to the topic at hand. The word anxiety is a word that people use to describe how they feel. It is also a clinical term. I'm not talking about the clinical term. We're just gonna make that clear. I don't diagnose people. I don't treat people. However, I do help people get control of their confidence, their self-esteem, let go of self judgment, let go of people pleasing so that they have dominion over their thoughts, so that you have control over where your mind is going to a much greater degree. Now you may say, well, Penny, you can't control your mind, and if you know me long enough, you know that I live by the mantra that control is in illusion. Absolutely. So, what do I mean by controlling your thoughts? When we get into that situation where our thoughts are popping off like firecrackers, and they're creating all these feelings, that is coming from the past, the mind is going, oh, here we go again, we're doing something we don't like. Oh, here we go. We're gonna have to get on an airplane. We hate airplanes. Oh, why did you say yes to something you didn't want? Again, all of those thoughts are rooted in the past. And they're rooted in the past because somewhere in the past, the mind put an importance upon those things that was emotional in nature, and there's still emotions stored up around those things. So the mind is like, I don't wanna feel that way again.
[00:06:09] When you can go in, and if you think of the old experiences, the old perceptions, the old biases, if you think of those things as legs on a three-legged stool, and you go in and you're able to neutralize the emotion around those events so that you can go, yeah, this thing happened to me. I don't let it run my life anymore. Because I have the benefit of taking what I know now and letting that neutralize the past so that I can move forward so that in the future, I can choose to go into a venture with someone. Do it with my eyes open. And if it's someone coming to me with something that doesn't align with my values, it doesn't align with what I want. I'm not going to feel obligated to say yes, because I'm totally confident in knowing that it's okay for me to want what I want and that I can say no out of compassion and kindness, and it means nothing about them. And it means nothing about me. I'm just honoring myself and I'm standing up for what's important to me.
[00:07:21] I've worked with clients; I probably had a handful of clients that we worked together for about a dozen sessions, but most of my clients in under eight weeks, usually within six to seven sessions, we bust through multiple levels of these beliefs and we neutralize 'em. We eliminate them. So that they can move forward with a clean slate. When you have that clean slate you're not bringing all this stuff from the past. It's just amazing. It's light. It's free. It's peaceful. These are words my clients use. So, I have one client that had had a lifetime. of anxiety. He made the comment once that he woke up one morning, he could hear his daughter singing in the other room and he thought, wow, this is peaceful. And as soon as he had the thought, “this is peaceful”, his mind went into overdrive. The other thing that this person had dealt with is they had been through 11 years of therapy for anger management. I think we did a total of six sessions together. Not only did we eliminate the anxiety, we eliminated the anger issues. We busted through the pattern where this individual was attracting business partners and friendships of people that wanted to manipulate them. Once he got sovereignty of himself, he was no longer available to be manipulated by other people, and this person is doing some major freaking things now because once he got out of the anxiety, and once he was objective about his relationships, he just hit the ground running finding investment capital. Let's put it that way. Getting investment capital for a product he was launching. I have had another client who lived through a lifetime of people pleasing and that people pleasing came about because at a very early age, he learned to keep the peace because father was an alcoholic. He learned to keep the peace. That was what he did. He was in a job that he hated. It was actually causing physical symptoms, causing him to have to take time out of work, to take leave. And he had a very specific goal in mind. I'm not gonna share it here, but it involved letting go of people pleasing and letting go of this anger.
[00:09:56] Well, once he shed the people pleasing, he realized that a lot of very major decisions he had made in his life were based on people pleasing. They were based on what some people might, would call a codependent type personality. He let that go. This person is now they're outta corporate, they're building their own business, and they're doing it their way. They're traveling the world and supporting other people in making their lives better. They're, oh gosh, I could just go down the list because the majority of my clients have some amalgamation of these things and it doesn't always come up as anxiety or people pleasing, but my point being is that you can radically change your life. You can radically shift your way of thinking and being so that as things come up that in the past would've caused you anxiety or people pleasing, you're just like, oh yeah. Oh, okay. Now, you know, I really don't think I wanna do that. And you're okay with it. Or you can say, well, I understand that you really want to do this. I would enjoy doing that. Is there somewhere we can meet in the middle? Like how can we both get our needs met in this situation and feel comfortable having those conversations without having to just lay your sovereignty down at someone else and give over yourself to keep the peace.
[00:11:36] So when we get into these behaviors, it's subconscious, it's past experiences, and, to quote one of my clients, for them therapy felt like scraping the scab off, letting the wound bleed, as soon as it started to heal, you scrape the scab off again, you let it bleed some more. And, the work that we did was like going in doing surgery and fixing the problem. It depends on what you want. Do you want fast results or do you want to drag this around with you like a bag of rocks. And we all get to choose. And some people aren't ready to do this work, and I totally totally respect that. Some people aren't ready to do this work , and sometimes I have to very kindly and compassionately, you know, let people know that, maybe you're really not quite ready to do this work because this work is messy. It's messy. It's powerful. And I like for people to have some tools and some skills and some before diving in if they're not planning to work with me long term. So if you're dealing with this, if you are having this anxiety, if you catch yourself up in people pleasing, then I want you to go back and listen to some of the past episodes. We will pull those links. We will put those in the show notes. And not only can you hear me talk about it from a different perspective, but you can also witness my own evolution and how I have learned to help people through these issues, help them through these issues quickly so that they can just get on with living their life, because you deserve to get on living your life as well.
And when you are ready, when you are in that place, reach. just go to the website: pennychiasson.com. Reach out. I'm happy to chat. You can apply for a call and I will see you next week.

Are you numbing yourself out with your business? Hi, this is Penny. Welcome back to Design Your Destiny. And this is something that I see as I stand back and I observe a lot of very successful people who are entrepreneurs and they race from one big launch, project, or business deal to the next. Now don't get me wrong, I understand how business works. We can't just take our foot off the gas and stop and just let everything go. Not when we're talking very large businesses when we need to be evolving product lines, streamlining services, adapting to the market. I totally get all of that. But have you ever thought to yourself if I wasn't spearheading a big project, if I wasn't about to go into a launch. If I wasn't creating a new product, I don't know what I would do with myself. Like I really just don't know what I would do with myself. All I know is throwing myself into my business. Then you are really treading into dangerous territory from a mental, emotional, and physical health standpoint. because when we stay in that state of always on, of always having to be on our toes, to go, to anticipate, to be vigilant, even hyper vigilant to things that could crop up and cause issues in our business, we're staying in a constant state of stress activation.
[00:02:50] One of the newest fads going around is for people to reveal, you know now that you've left your past job or profession, what's a big scam that no one knows about. And I'm going to tell you that disease is a scam. And here's what I mean by that. Over 90% of all doctors' visits are due to symptoms and conditions caused by stress. Everything from low back pain, to autoimmune disease, to high blood pressure, to heart disease, diabetes, asthma, the list goes on. These things are due to stress activation. And one thing that I know about most very high level entrepreneurs that I have connected with the one thing that they want is they want longevity. They want a happy life. You want longevity, you want a vibrant, vital life. And if you're burning the candle at both ends, and you're staying under this constant high pressure, it has probably crossed your mind that you know what, I'm probably not gonna live another 10 years. This is something that was just related to me recently. You know, I'm just going from one thing to the next. I probably won't live another 10 years. And this person is younger than I am. So that's a very stark realization as to what is going on in this process. A lot of people think of stress as having a lot of things happening in your life. That's not the only place that stress comes from.
[00:04:42] Stress comes from mental pressure. It comes from emotional pressure. It comes from pressure in the past. So imagine. If you're going into this big launch and things are going really well, however, in the past you had one launch that really if you could just take that section of your life and you had a big, giant eraser, and you could just wipe it the fuck outta your mind, you would all of the emotion, the interpretations, the meaning and the beliefs that were created around that, they're going to be in your subconscious underneath the surface. Your mind is going to be constantly searching and comparing. Now that's not the same as learning. We can learn from an experience and not have any emotional issue with it, if we learn that lesson and we accepted it and we let it go. But if we're in a state of comparison or like, oh, we can't let this happen again, rather than starting fresh and starting anew, that is running underneath the surface. And your mind is looking for ways to avoid the pain that you experienced before. So there can be a lot of stress coming in, and that could be one of the reasons you find yourself running from one project to the next.
[00:06:02] Is there a part of you that has to prove to yourself that you can repeat your success? Because maybe a part of you thinks you just happen to be in the right place at the right time before, or maybe you just got lucky. So that's one of the things that keep us from running one project to the next we have to prove to ourselves. We can also have these hidden stories. Believe it or not. We have uncovered these stories with people who make a ton of money. You would think someone would not have these stories, but this person's family actually was very comfortable. There was no poverty involved or anything like that. They were very comfortable. However, the father and the mother came from very little means, and they had built up a very comfortable lifestyle, but the mother and the father operated from the fear of, “we have to make sure we have money. We can't spend all the money. We have to be frugal with the money. We have to save for a rainy day”. And this stuff was trickling over into someone's business. Who's making eight figures. It was trickling in like there was this hesitation, there was this mental hand break about investing to go to a next level. And out of the blue, we reveal this thing that like, you have to work hard for your money, right. So this person was unable to pause because it was instilled in them from their parents, that they worked hard to be comfortable. So you have to work hard to be comfortable. That's what it takes to be comfortable. That's what it takes to have more than enough money is to work hard. So this person doesn't know how to take a break. They work themselves into the ground and actually was recently hospitalized from working themselves into the ground; from creating that stress, there was so much stress their body wasn't able to fight infection and it took them down, took 'em out.
[00:08:15] The other thing that can happen is we lose sight of what it is that we want. We lose sight of our vision. In the early days of building a business, we're so committed. We're so disciplined. We're so all freaking in on what's happening, that we lose sight of what we really wanted. And we get caught up in needing to build this success and then build the next success. We forget to celebrate what we've achieved because God forbid, this is in some circles, God forbid you're successful, and you actually appreciate the fact that you're successful because that means you must not care about people who you passed on the way up. Which is totally not true. You can be compassionate and kind and charitable through giving and elevating humanity. Money allows us to do that. Money allows us to grow that. But we can lose sight of what it was we really wanted when we were younger. And we get caught on this hamster wheel and now we don't know how to get off. Well, I know how to get off. And the first step is to like pause. You have to really pause and do the inner work and dig in and see what's important to you. Allow yourself to reconnect with who you really are, to reconnect with that happiness, because sometimes when we get into this place of running from project to project, launch to launch, business to business, what we're doing is, we are numbing ourselves from the fact that something is not aligned with us. We're unhappy. we're dissatisfied with life, but if we stop for 10 minutes and we have to sit with what's between our ears and we have to think about it, then we realize that we have built this big thing. We have all this wealth and we're miserable.
[00:10:22] Me personally, I never want to be in that place. And fortunately, I've learned about these patterns as I'm growing my business so I can do checks and balances on myself to make sure my decisions are taking me in a direction that maintains that connection with myself that maintains that happiness. But for some people work is their drug. Work is the drug of choice. Work is what numbs you from being dissatisfied with what you've created, or having to sit with your thoughts around what you believe about yourself. This is a very complex topic. It's something that I could spend hours on and really dive in. Each and every person is different, that's why I've given so many different scenarios. There is no one size fits all. That's why my work is not one size fits all. Everything is highly individualized and custom tailored to my clients. Because a one size fits all approach is not going to fit. It might make you feel better for a little while, but if you wanna solve the problem. and get out of this rut, then it's gonna take commitment to yourself. It is going to take diving into what's going on in your life, and it takes attention to detail of your life, of what's happening for you, what's going on for you personally. So if you're ever interested in diving into this, knowing what it is to get connected inward, to remember what happiness is, to remember what brings you joy, I am more than happy to connect with you on that. Just go to the website, pennychiasson.com, and apply for a call with me. Apply for a call and you and I can get together and chat about what vision it is you have. And if you have no idea what that vision is, if that seems so foreign to you, let's connect anyway, because I can get you moving in the right direction, just on that call.
Until next week, bye now!
Thanks for tuning in today! I’d love it if you could head over to Apple Podcasts and leave a positive review, so we can reach even more people, so they can change their lives. That positive energy of sharing comes back to you as we spread this message.
Welcome back to Design Your Destiny, everyone. Today, I'm gonna be talking about something that is common, and that is: what do you do when you commit to something, but you don't follow through. Like, what do you do? I think it's a challenge that many people fall into. And oftentimes my clients have faced this challenge. To be committed to something means that you have decided to do something. There are many factors that can come into play in our commitment to do something. One of those things is how committed are we to the thing that we are pursuing– whether it's a business venture, a partnership, deciding to relaunch the podcast as I am here, changing directions, deciding to build out your business in a new and different way. How committed are you to that?
Probably one of the most common mainstream, if you will, ways of looking at commitment is people who decide to go into fitness, or to weight loss, healthier eating those types of things. And people often associate their success, or lack of it, with their willpower.
The first myth that I want to debunk is that willpower works.Willpower does not work. Willpower is a function of the conscious analytical mind. Our conscious analytical mind, even though we believe it runs the show, it does not run the show. So as you go through your day, say you're someone who has, committed and I'm gonna use health as an analogy, but you can apply this to anything in your business. You can apply it to anything in your life, say that you were committed to your health, and you decided that you're going to stop drinking caffeinated beverages, and you're going to drink warm water. That's a big thing right now, “the warm water challenge”.
Say you're gonna commit to that each and every time that you go to drink water, you are making a choice each and every time you think, oh, you know what? I would really like a cup of coffee, or I would love a soda or an energy drink. You are making a decision when you're using willpower. You were relying solely on individual decisions to get you where you want to go.
[00:03:59] So what does that mean? If you're relying on individual decisions to get you where you want to go, when you end up with a lot on your plate, whether it's a lot of deadlines coming due, something unexpected happens in the business or with the client or a project, or even in your personal life, your relationships, especially if you have kids, life can be really unpredictable when these unpredictable things come up. If you're relying solely on your decision making and you get into a space where your stress response is activated, you have a lot of things going on in your conscious mind that you are sorting out, you're going to possibly, most likely, revert to your old habit. It's easier. It's easier than having to make the conscious choice. Now water versus energy, drinks and caffeine. That's kind of easy because you can set your day up by making sure that all you have available is water, but if you're stressed out and you're worn down and you're going to the kitchen and you have all kinds of options, your mind's just not even gonna think about it. Your subconscious goes, oh, well, we always go to the caffeine, let's go to the cafe. Your willpower is like a battery on your cell phone. The more tired we become, the more that we have on our mind, the more things that we are processing, the weaker that willpower becomes.
[00:05:33] If you're committing to something new, the biggest, most important thing you can do is just decide, and in the words of one of my mentors, declare it, make a declaration. Actually, a couple of my mentors, when it comes to bringing something new into your life, you define it, you decide it, and you declare it. And that really just sets it in your mind as an unbreakable standard, which goes to identity. If you've listened to episodes 86 and 87, GREAT, if you have not, I want you to go back and listen to episodes 86 and 87. I talk about identity because this is another piece of commitment. When you are committing to something, your identity should be an identity that supports the actions that you are taking. Your identity should support the actions that you're taking from how you identify yourself, the beliefs that you have within that identity. How someone with that identity, like what actions they take. What do they delegate? What are their capabilities? If there's,Something that you don't have that you need, then you're gonna be the person who's going to go out and learn that you're going to acquire that skill, that knowledge, that reference point, if you will, so that you can deliver what it is that you want. And when those things fall into place, then your outcome will come about. But if you're committed to an outcome and you have no idea what the identity is that's going to get you there. You know I want to start this company. I want to hit a hundred million dollars. I'm at 40 million. I want to hit a hundred million. I don't know. Let's say in 18 months, what is the identity? That's gonna get you there because what got you to 40 million is not going to get you to a hundred million. So just being committed and knowing you want to get there is not. Who do you need to be?
[00:07:42] Another piece of this is when you find yourself not following through on commitment, what are the things that you are doing? And there's a very key question that you can ask yourself. And that question is, what am I committed to? Because we are always committed to something, even if we're committed to staying the same. Sometimes we can be in a situation in our life where we're doing what we're doing, because it's what we've always done. It doesn't necessarily align with what we want, but we don't know what we would do with our. If we weren't doing it because we've just always been moving to the next thing and moving to the next thing, and I'm gonna do a whole podcast episode on what all of that means. But if you're wanting to shift, and the shift is not happening, then you're committed to something else more than what you're committed to, what it is that you want.
And so where is the alignment? Where is the alignment in that? Are you aligned with the thing you're committed to, that maybe you don't know that you're committed to? Sometimes we're committed to avoidance. Sometimes we are committed to our suffering. Sometimes we are committed to an identity that has us believing that we can't be more that Our whole lives. We get filled with other people's perceptions of us. We get filled with our own faults, perceptions about ourself and our abilities, usually to the negative. Right. Are you committed to holding onto that identity, which is going to limit your commitment to the thing that you want? Just a deep question for you there.
[00:09:39] One of the things that I have come to realize over the last year that I'm blessed with. I, for a while, just assumed that everybody processed information this way, but one of the things I've really come to own is my ability to see people's patterns. In their thoughts and in their behaviors, the way that it's showing up in their life. And when that pattern is identified, we can basically take the legs off the table and collapse that, which is not serving you so that we can build back something that is stronger. Something that supports your identity, something that supports what you are committed to and when your identity and your values support what you're committed to, and you've eliminated the bullshit beliefs that are supporting this identity over here that's not serving you anymore, that's when the world really opens up to you. That's when possibility opens up to you,.
[00:10:50] It doesn't matter where you are in life. If you were someone who has built your businesses from the ground up, think back to when you first started, as you shifted, and as you grew your identity, your characteristics, your traits, your values adapted and adjusted and moved with you. The same is true now. And I think that sometimes we get so immersed in what it is that we're doing, that we can lose sight of the big leaps that we made early in our career. And this ability to see these patterns is something that I have a lot of gratitude for, because I had made the faulty assumption that all people in business have this ability. All people who are expert hypnotists, all people who are coaches, all people who do transformational work, that they have this ability. And it's simply not the case. So what is it that you have that's unique to you? How does commitment and where you're wanting to go, how does all of that align? What does it look like for you? And I know I took you in a little bit of a circle here at the end, and we made some twists and some curves, but I did that intentionally because the answer is inside of you and through pondering and processing, you might be surprised to find that you tap into something you didn't know was there before. So until next time, please subscribe, leave a review. And I do look forward to catching you on the next episode of design your destiny.

2:01 - An example of where people-pleasing tendencies can come from

There was a time when I thought “New Age spirituality” was actually relatively new. I also thought the influences of spirituality were just for flowy skirt-wearing, crystal-loving people. My reality and way of thinking growing up didn’t take a kind view towards those types of people, so it’s kind of amazing I’ve gotten into it myself (without the flowing skirts part, though).
In this episode, I discuss the woo woo because my spiritual practices impact everything I do. I’ve had big shifts recently that have positively impacted me too, and I can’t wait to share some of those with you as I celebrate this special episode!
3:26 - My journey into “New Age spirituality” and the concept of energy
9:00 - One tool I use myself and sometimes share with clients

It amazes me how many people believe self-doubt disappears with success. They see confident people and don’t believe those types of thoughts creep in.

When most people reach out to me, they’re doing so because they feel blocked around money. Something has happened in the past that’s creating issues around their ability to manifest the money, job, or relationship. As part of the process of working with me, I have people list the benefits of the change they’re looking for which tells me a lot about where we’re starting. And in almost all cases, they’ll list that they want to trust themselves. In this episode, I talk about how that’s not really the problem and expose the deeper issue at play.
4:02 - What you’re really saying if you tell yourself you’re untrustworthy
7:31 - What to ask yourself when lacking self-trust and how to easily release judgment

While I love everything I talk about on this podcast, today I get to talk about something I love most: hypnosis! Recently, I sent an email out to my list based on questions I’ve received about hypnosis training. But some of the questions that came up surrounded hypnosis itself.

1:13 - Can you use hypnosis to treat OCD (obsessive compulsive disorder)?
5:28 - Can you use hypnosis to handle forgiveness? Self-Blame? Shame? Guilt?

How do you unplug and de-stress from the day to day stuff that aggravates you? Where do you go, and what do you do? Whether it’s happening in your business, family, or personal life, it can wear you down. And if you let that stress linger for long enough, you begin to normalize and become numb to it... until it hits you in the face in the form of exhaustion, sickness, or something else that really grabs your attention.
Self-care is important, but it also has two sides to it because while you need to unplug, you can go to extremes with it too. How’s that possible? In this episode, I use myself as an example to talk about how extreme self-care can become an obstacle to what you want.

5:50 - The wonderfully surprising thing I learned about my business after being away from it for five weeks

11:33 - What my self-care morning routine looks like to support my reaching the next level this year
16:15 - Why I don’t talk to my family about my business

Getting closure opens things up so quickly. A couple of weeks ago, I had a huge shift that helped me get closure. And it’s not something I can really define, but I want to share that experience with you in this episode in hopes that it too gives you some insight or a new way of looking at things.

In an episode with Ella Mae a few weeks back, we talked about the dark night of the soul. It’s the place our mind goes to when we question why we do what we do and if it even matters what we do. You could be a gazillionaire entrepreneur, a stay-at-home parent, a celebrity, or a college student still trying to find direction--it’ll still hit you at certain points in your life like a ton of bricks. So in this short episode, I talk a little about what influences us to have these moments.

If you’ve listened to my show before, you’re going to hear something different from what you’re used to today. Usually, I avoid discussing politics and world events on the podcast because it’s antithesis to my goal of creating expansion for you through a higher vibration that keeps you open to possibility. But today, I want to address the elephant in the room that’s only grown larger over the last couple of years... not just in the U.S. but worldwide. Ultimately, though, this episode is about possibility and showing our fellow human beings love, kindness, and compassion to create the better world we all want to obtain.

Going on a spiritual journey involves all sorts of interesting facets. You learn about awareness, managing your attention, living in the present moment, and realizing that there are energies that influence our thoughts, actions, experiences, and perceptions of the world. Some people walk a little on the woo woo side in their journeys, and for all my practicality, I do too. I even work with a shaman!
So today, I’ve invited onto the show a modern medicine woman, Sand Symes. Sand is a shamanic practitioner, seer, transformational coach, and pioneer of ancestral healing journeys who acts as a bridge between the spiritual and physical realms. In this episode, she discusses the development of her gift and how her work centers on supporting the healing of wounds we women carry from our ancestral line.

Can you think back to a time when you had to redo something or start over, and it turned out better than you could’ve ever imagined? I tried recording this interview with Ella Mae last week, but a case of the internet lag gremlins caught us in the middle of our conversation and caused us to reschedule it. I’m glad for the do-over, though, because despite a great discussion the first time around, the interview this time went exactly where it needed to go.
Ella is an expert at helping people bring their offers into the world, from ideation to launch, and helping them scale what’s working and fix what isn’t. She’s undergone a period of struggle with work and life perspective and come out on the other side. In this episode, we discuss this “dark night of the soul” period and the insights and takeaways she’s experienced in the two years we’ve known each other.

When you listen to those who light you up, they can teach you things. You learn how to do things better, more efficiently, and more thoroughly. But you also bring in past experiences to the table that reinforce beliefs preventing you from becoming who you desire.

You might be surprised by the topic of today’s episode. Clients come to me because they’re prepared to eliminate unpleasant and uncomfortable thoughts and beliefs that cause them emotional discomfort.

We’ve all been conditioned to use willpower to make a goal or a vision happen. Nike’s famous slogan is a prime example. But willpower serves as a function of our present, conscious awareness which can only process so much information at once. If you try to use it while you’re stressed, then your mind will prioritize safety and security over anything else first. So in this episode, I want to talk about the difference between will and willpower and how to use your intent and will to get what you want.
3:00 - An example of how your mind directs you toward what it feels will meet your needs

I know from my nursing background that a predictable, stable environment is paramount to a child’s sense of safety and security. But everything since the beginning of the pandemic has been a challenge. Even with things opening back up, it’s created this perfect storm of desperation that has kids and adolescents in greater danger of suffering a mental health crisis.
In recent weeks, I’ve received several questions about how to help children adjust to current life. Since I don’t work with kids in teams, I’m doing a two-part series and bringing on some special guests to offer their guidance and perspective. In this episode, I speak with certified life coach Ben Pugh who specializes in helping parents build meaningful relationships with their teenagers, without changing them.
4:29 - How to get creative with the old adage of “be the change you want to see”
7:57 - Why parents think that giving teenagers two acceptable choices doesn’t work
11:12 - How to emotionally support a teen who’s taking on some unhealthy behaviors
15:42 - The only thing you can control as a parent
20:05 - Effective, supportive actions you can take that your teen will likely accept
24:31 - How my husband and I let go of control of our eldest teenager and the lesson learned
26:51 - What so many parents are choosing to do right now (and what you should do instead)
29:20 - Highlighting the theme that’s been running throughout this entire episode

I’ve noticed a pattern with some of my clients. They come to me in their mid 50s to early 60s with a specific goal around their career or business and just feel a lot of resistance to getting things done. Then in the process of working together, they end up changing their minds about what they really want. An exercise I did in a group coaching program provided me with some insight as to why this happens. In this episode, I share those insights, which I also use in my own subconscious work with clients.
1:22 - Why some of my clients change their mind about what they really want
2:32 - The question I always ask clients who are having difficulty gaining clarity

But the speed of your results depends on what you want to achieve and what lies underneath the beliefs, habits, and behaviors preventing you from getting what you want.

What does perfectionism cost you in your business, relationships, and life in general? Over the years, I’ve chatted and worked with many people who, at some point in their lives, started feeling like whatever they did was never good enough.

Do you often feel like you’re really good at a lot of things without being masterful at any of them? I think most of us resonate with that, including my guest Tina Madsen.

How often do you make choices with your life involving your work, family, or just life in general that allow you to avoid self-criticism? When you avoid self-criticism, you’re allowing your past beliefs and experiences to drive future decisions. This isn’t about looking for past or possible future mistakes or lifting up rocks to find reasons to criticize yourself. But avoiding self-criticism can quite literally implode your dreams.

The things that I speak of on this podcast aren’t practices that you do once. They’re continual practices in order to help us achieve the greatest amount of ease in our life and live from a place of peace and presence. I’ve mentioned awareness several times on the show, but we have to have an awareness around our awareness. In this episode, I talk about what I mean by that and not using awareness as an excuse.
2:37 - How excuses keep us comfortable and stuck
5:30 - Awareness helps with our perspective and choice

Recently, a listener left a review commenting on the various topics I cover on this podcast. At times, I realize people familiar with hypnosis or who know I’m a hypnosis professional easily get the impression that hypnosis is all this podcast is about. But leveraging your subconscious is about so much more than that which is why I created the Insight Alignment Method© based on three important pillars.
2:13 - The first pillar, awareness, and what it includes
3:52 - The second pillar, insight, and where it comes from
6:23 - The third pillar, spirituality, and what I mean by it

Today I’m talking about people who come to me and say they don’t experience emotions. You do indeed experience emotions, every moment of every day. Not having awareness of these feelings is another story. Emotions drive your behavior and they don’t care whether or not you’re aware of them.

We in the self-development space know how important it is to have a positive attitude and mindset. We’re always hearing how “we gotta high vibe.” But life is reality, and we’re not robots who can shut off our emotions. I know a lot of people who, thanks to everything that’s happened in the past year, have been getting fatigued.
The basis for today’s topic comes from a question someone asked me in my private Facebook group: How do I have a positive attitude when I already feel frustrated that I’m doing everything myself, despite asking for help that the pandemic has made difficult to receive?
2:47 - Addressing the issue of frustration as a secondary emotion
5:11 - Positive attitude as a choice and reframing the situation

When most people reach out to me, they’re doing so because they feel blocked around money. Something has happened in the past that’s creating issues around they’re ability to manifest the money, job, or relationship. As part of the process of working with me, I have people list the benefits of the change they’re looking for which tells me a lot about where we’re starting. And in almost all cases, they’ll list that they want to trust themselves. In this episode, I talk about how that’s not really the problem and expose the deeper issue at play.
4:02 - What you’re really saying if you tell yourself you’re untrustworthy
7:31 - What to ask yourself when lacking self-trust and how to easily release judgment

Today I wanted to share with you a book I’m reading for the second time that can truly shift your thinking and change your life. Despite never having done an episode on stories, pretty much every episode has to do with stories that we tell ourselves and believe in. To believe that our reality is at the mercy of other people is a story that limits us, keeps us in fear, and holds us back. From the very beginning of this book, though, you’ll begin seeing how since birth the world around you has influenced you to the point that your beliefs aren’t even your own.
4:00 - The book I was inspired to re-read

This week is a perfect example of something I’ve experienced firsthand many, many times. Your words are important. What we say to ourselves and put into the universe and our energy is important, whether it’s simply thought or spoken out loud.

This is a special week for me. I’m celebrating a birthday, a big one: the big 50. One of the things we tend to think about as we get older in years is our health. So many times, we tend to wait until we’re feeling it before we do anything about it. In this modern day society, we’ve normalized a lot of stress subconsciously. It becomes our everyday state, and we don't really notice it anymore. As many as 90% of doctors visits are brought on by symptoms related to stress. So how do we address this?

Today, I want to talk to you specifically about your subconscious. Our mind can end up in these cycles of overthinking and trigger emotional responses. Sometimes we get into places where we’re more reactive than responsive, or maybe we can just feel an undercurrent of unsettled emotions. Or maybe you don’t feel that at all and go through your days feeling great; you’re simply looking for a way to reprogram yourself or connect with a deeper inner sense of self-love and self-worth. I have something for you that’ll help that I and many of my clients do every day.

You hear me talk about growth, how it can be uncomfortable, growing through layers of it, and how they’re more layers to peel.

We always talk about awareness, our thoughts, and how our subconscious can sometimes run us. Previously, I mentioned the laws of polarity and how we really don’t want our moods to swing greatly in any direction. Any time we swing to the extreme in one emotion, we’re gonna snap back in the other direction. When we want to stay in a place of peace, joy, and happiness, it doesn’t mean we have to be there all the time, but it is a nice place to stay. In that place, we’re open to possibility, things flow, we feel good about receiving, and life just moves at a different pace. So in this, I want to talk to you about the five things I do to have more joy.
3:34 - My first go-to in shifting my state to happiness or joy
5:46 - Putting on and enjoying a great song
7:15 - A good activity for shaking off unwanted feelings
10:11 - Practicing a very specific process of simple self-hypnosis

Long before I became a hypnotist, I noticed that a patient’s attitude was everything when it came to their healing. It didn’t control it, but it was a major factor in how they dealt with their illness, and therefore, how easily their body was able to heal from it. Back in November, I was diagnosed with COVID and ended up with a severe case. I used self-hypnosis specifically once I reached the point where I felt well enough. Once I began using that, things began to shift very rapidly for me. So today, I want to discuss the power of the mind in healing.
3:54 - Placebos, nocebos, and being more trusting of people of authority
5:48 - Example of a focused state of attention aiding in healing
8:06 - Performing visualization and self-hypnosis while hospitalized with COVID

Attachment is one of the few things we consider when we look at how we feel about where we are in our life, business, and sometimes when we’re simply unhappy. When I was in the hospital recently, I had a knowing that my own health and well-being are most important to me. So I’ve let go of attachment to the end results concerning certain aspects of my business. We often put an attachment on things that don’t matter. You might be surprised to find that you’re attached to things unknowingly.
3:55 - Self-reflecting on the time between setting a goal and the deadline to meet it

We're wrapping up 2020 by sharing some of the most popular episodes of this year. In this episode, what is it in your life that lights you up? What are you passionate about? Is that where your career is at this moment? I’m not suggesting that if you have a passion that you should own a business around that passion.

As we grow and shift our thoughts, our perceptions, and our beliefs of who we are and what we’re capable of, we outgrow things. We may outgrow partnerships and relationships. We may find ourselves in a place where we are looking at something in our lives and not feeling aligned with it. At that moment, we have to stop, reflect and decide what is best for us at that moment. Growth is uncomfortable. We can’t stay in the same place and grow at the same time.

I want to talk to you today about how you got to where you are. Understanding yourself, how you got to where you are and who you are right now will help you decide who you need to be.

And we find that that can sometimes be short-lived.
So, I want to ask you, how do you define yourself? If you find that the stories you are carrying around to define yourself don’t really reflect who you want to be, write a new story.

Today I want to talk about three lessons that COVID-19 has taught me as a new CEO. Investing in my personal transformation is the best thing I could’ve done for myself. In a time where the outcome we expected to happen, didn’t happen, I was able to step back, learn from it, adjust, and move forward because of my personal transformation work.
It is also super important to have a network of people that gives you a safe place to express, feel, and witness others who are going through the same thing.
We are going through a grieving process because we’ve lost our routines, predictability, business plans, and dreams for 2020. It doesn’t mean those dreams will never happen, they’re just not going to happen yet. It’s ok to grieve.
When something like a pandemic strikes, learn to step back and evaluate. If you have to adjust and do something that you don’t like temporarily, then that’s what you have to do. It’s all about being adaptable and resilient.
2:11 - The first lesson this pandemic has taught me is to invest in myself
5:05 - How to learn to be unattached to outcomes
5:51 - The second thing COVID-19 has taught me the importance of having a network of people who understand what it is you do
9:32 - The third thing I learned: it’s ok to grieve

I want to talk to you today about how Law of Attraction changed my business. Two years ago I began a journey of personal transformation. As part of that transformation, I learned about the law of attraction. I began to implement some of the practices and saw some minor changes. Then without realizing it, I used that same Law of Attraction to screw myself up. Once I understood where I was going wrong, and began to pay greater attention to my thoughts, words, and actions, it came back to me like a tsunami. I’m going to talk to you about where I screwed this process up and how I fixed it.
0:43 - How I learned about the Law of Attraction
3:37 - How I screwed all of this up
5:44 - How I turned everything around
11:23 - Why this was so much more than luck

We’re here today to talk about your inner voice. Is it your greatest enemy or is it your greatest ally? This is something that has made a huge difference not only in my life but in my business and my success. Have you ever done any exercise or work around identifying what your inner voice is telling you? One of the trends I'm seeing in Facebook groups among new entrepreneurs, in particular, is they are getting into these cycles of, "What do I talk about?", "Will anyone want to hear what I have to say?", "Will anyone value what I have to say?", "Is it valuable?". And many times the advice we receive is to just push through it. And sometimes, pushing through is the right answer. I’m going to explain why pushing through that negative self-talk works. I'll also go into detail about where your inner voice comes from, the two different types of negative self-talk, and what you can do to stop it if it is not serving YOU.
2:00 - The negative self-talk trend I see among new entrepreneurs
3:35 - The first place negative self-talk comes from
7:48 - Different reasons negative self-talk may start
9:45 - A simple practice I use when my inner voice becomes negative
12:14 - The second form of negative self-talk
14:15 - My challenge for you to help you remove your barriers

Penny Chiasson here, welcome to Design Your Destiny. In today’s episode, I am sharing with you how your past career training could be blocking your entrepreneurial success.
If you’re like many of my clients you moved away from your previous career because you found a different passion. Or perhaps, you decided to take the skill set you have and want to package and deliver it according to your own values and vision in your own business. There are great opportunities to learn and grow as an employee or solopreneur, but the way of being that makes you successful in those roles will not get you to the higher level of success as the joyful CEO of your life and business.
1:50 - The role internal awareness plays in our entrepreneurial success
4:30 - The question I ask myself to rediscover my true nature as a leader
6:50 - The training and career experience I had to be aware of to shift into my role as the joyful CEO
9:00 - How awareness has allowed me to top blocking my success and shift into creating a life of desire
Remember, self-awareness is not a one time exercise, this introspection is an ongoing practice that is necessary as you design your life the way that you want to live it.

On today’s podcast episode I want to take you on my journey to becoming a joyful CEO. One of the things that I've learned in my journey to CEO is that we don't have to be stressed, stuck in burnout in constantly working hard, to grow a successful business that is aligned with our desires.
Our biology makes it easy to fall into these thoughtless patterns that we do not even recognize we are engaged in. Sometimes these patterns are very easily habituated without our awareness because of long forgotten past experiences.
One of the things that was a valuable lesson I learned in my years of the anesthesia, is to identify what it is that you don't know so that you can know it because lives were are the line. I knew that there were things that I did not know about being a business owner. Once I knew those things, I realized I want to be more than a hypnosis practitioner with a business, I wanted to be an entrepreneur. Then I learned about this thing called a CEO mindset. I stumbled across someone that told me that hard work does not equal money.
I continued on this path of reframing my own beliefs of using hypnosis as my own tool to release limiting beliefs, to create new habits, to allow myself to be open to the idea that I can have a successful business, a joyful business without working all the time.
Most struggling entrepreneurs and business leaders at all levels of success sometimes have similar thoughts and beliefs. These patterns originate in the subconscious at different levels of success, they manifest differently, but it all boils down to some of the same similar beliefs.
On this podcast, I am going to bring my 25 years of nursing and anesthesia experience, six years as a board certified hypnotist and my real life experiences of my own CEO journey to a multi six figure business to help you design your destiny.
I am going to bring you actionable and thought-provoking episodes, so that on a subconscious level, you can align with your desires. You will become aware of how the subconscious influences your ability to move forward in business with a feeling of peace in ease, allowing things to just come to you, to be able to focus, have clarity, and make decisions without that constant underlying hesitation or tension
