Being an entrepreneur often means unlocking a bigger capacity to handle challenges and overcome unforeseen obstacles. I’ve often said that having your own business is one of the most valuable personal development courses you can ever enroll in.

On episode 304 of Amplify Your Success Podcast, I’ll take you into my own healing journey and how I’ve overcome limiting beliefs, what resources I’ve found helpful in healing trauma, and the little habits that help me have energy and focus in my day to day activity.

Key Takeaways

  • [5:02] How NLP helped me unlock my resilience and full capacity.

  • [9:15] Quick fixes versus learning how to use tools for on-going “course correction.”
  • [12:47] Why eating clean is a key part of the inner work that expands your focus, energy and ability to feel ready to take on bigger goals.
  • [21:54] Trauma healing resources that I found helpful.
  • [16:42] How Human Design helped me own my strengths and embrace my unique decision making approach.
