There is a specific scenario that often plays out when people want to leave their professional and corporate jobs.

Can you guess?

It’s the one where they fall in love with a modality that has supported them, and they mis-understand this to be their calling.

So, they train as a breathwork instructor, reiki practitioner, sound healer – [simply insert your chosen modality here]!

But here is the thing: not everyone is meant to become a teacher of their favourite modality.

You are here for something else.

In episode #34 I explain what is happening behind the scenes and how to make this desire work for you on your journey to discovering your full potential.


Episode highlights

• 01:28 You are not meant to be any of these things!

• 04:00 You are experiencing the pendulum swing 
• 07:40 The rebound relationship
• 07:56 My pendulum swing: I become a meditation teacher and did my RSA
• 11:59 You may want to switch your brain off, but this will change
• 12:36 You’ll need more to maintain your lifestyle
• 13:03 Your potential is so much greater than what we have learnt
• 15:13 If you are in this stage right now - enjoy it
• 15:38 An example of incorporating this modality into your current work
• 16:24 The recalibration when you’re ready to shake up your life

Are you fresh out of inspiration for what’s next for you? Perhaps you seem unable to come up with any new ideas or solutions to a situation you face? 

What if I told you that it’s stress and the state of your nervous system which is creating tunnel vision, or a complete inability to move into action?

A regulated nervous system provides the space to contemplate what’s next and tap into new ideas.

In episode 23, I provide an overview of the nervous system states and how they create tunnel vision or inaction. I discuss why our ability to move between these states provides a fertile environment for change. 

If you feel stuck around what’s next in life, join me to discover the role stress has in where you are today.

Episode Highlights:

• 02:54 My personal experience with stress

Ever wondered why some goals are a breeze, while others feel like an uphill battle, or escape you completely?

The secret: new goals lack the subconscious programming for seamless achievement.

Join me to explore the power of your subconscious mind and discover why a belief upgrade is your shortcut to inevitable success.

Key Takeaways:

• While subconscious automations can be incredibly efficient, they may not always serve us well when we want to embark on something new or different
• By altering our belief system, we have the power to propel ourselves toward our visions and goals
• Step one is building awareness of our subconscious beliefs influencing our goal
• The subconscious mind is a goal achieving machine when you learn to work with it!

Highlights:

• 2:41 We have 4% in our conscious awareness and 96% is the subconscious mind
• 5:09 Subconscious automations and how they can hold us back

If you find yourself stuck in your search for purpose, feeling unsure of how to navigate your desires and direction, you're not alone. But here's the truth: everyone has a purpose. It's not some elusive treasure hidden at the end of an over-analysed path. 

Unfortunately, it's a journey which we've complicated with unnecessary dogma and misconceptions.

It's not about success, achievement or careers, but a journey of self-discovery. 

If you are feeling stuck or simply ready to begin your exploration, join me in this first episode (after my hiatus!) where I encourage you to explore the concept of purpose from a fresh perspective.  I cover the three things purpose is not, as well as what it is.

Episode Highlights:

• 02:06 The reason I support people to connect to purpose
• 03:21 My personal and professional journey with purpose
• 05:11 Everyone can find purpose 
• 06:27 Purpose goes beyond life success, achievements, and possessions
• 09:30 “Purpose does not equal a job or career.”
• 12:04 “Your purpose is not a tagline.”
• 13:47 You don’t discover it with your head
• 16:15 A new definition of purpose
• 20:05 Steps to progress in your journey
• 21:31 What to expect in this new season of the podcast
