| Keziah Loewen: From Self-Doubt to Self-Made - The 6-Week Shift That Changed Everything | 06 Apr 2025 | 00:52:50 | |
Today’s guest is living proof that when you shift your mindset, take aligned action, and open yourself to new possibilities... everything can change, FAST. Keziah Loewen was working full-time as a physiotherapist and juggling a side hustle in property management when she realised something needed to shift. Craving time and financial freedom, she took a leap and joined my 6-week 1:1 intensive mentoring program. What happened next was nothing short of incredible. In just six weeks, Keziah 10x’d her business, reduced her physio days, and shortly after achieved goals she once thought would take years to achieve.

| Manifestation Isn’t Magic (It’s Identity and Energy Work) | 04 May 2025 | 00:28:09 | |
If you feel like you’re doing all the right things to manifest your dream life... journaling, visualising, saying the affirmations, but it’s still not showing up the way you imagined, this episode is for you. In this solo episode, we dive into why manifestation isn’t magic - it’s subconscious identity and energy work.

| Self-Concept Shifts That Changed My Life (Why Who You Think You Are Is Holding You Back) | 18 May 2025 | 00:45:36 | |
Do you feel like you're doing all the right things to achieve your goals, but something still feels out of reach? In this solo episode, I’m diving deep into one of the most powerful forces shaping your reality: self-concept... the beliefs, identity and subconscious stories you hold about who you are and what you’re capable of. Whether it’s in your career, your relationships, your confidence, or your ability to attract aligned opportunities, your self-concept is influencing everything. And if it’s outdated or misaligned, no amount of hustle or positive thinking will create lasting change. Inside this episode: If you’ve been manifesting, journaling and doing “the work” but not seeing the results you expected, this episode will show you where your power really lies. This is the inner work that creates outer transformation.
