Episode 53: Stop clinging to self-limiting beliefs

Beliefs are powerful and necessary. They govern our societies, our day-to-day lives but also our inner lives, our thoughts, hopes, plans, and relationships.
You believe that the plane will leave the runway or that the sun will come up tomorrow. There are even things you can believe despite logic (like winning the lotto).
But no matter who you are, how well you are educated or what you have been through no one is immune to irrational or self-limiting beliefs.
Listen to this episode to find out how self-limiting beliefs are formed and learn some strategies to manage them.

Episode 52: Patterning in relationships

It’s easy for human beings to get stuck in patterns. Our brains love routine and habit. The problem is that many of us can get stuck with unhealthy habits and wiring without even knowing it.
Patterns drive our subconscious decisions, meaning we are not fully aware of the driver – we just end up at the destination. Nothing highlights this more than relationships.
In this episode I’ll discuss patterning with a focus on relationships and how these patterns end up dictating the kind of people we have relationships with, how we interact with them and how we let them treat us.
