832 | The Story You Tell Yourself Is the Life You Live
In this episode, I dive deep into the powerful concept of the stories we tell ourselves and how they shape our reality. I begin by emphasizing that the narrative we create in our minds is the one that ultimately defines our lives. Our subconscious mind is highly responsive to these stories, and if we continuously tell ourselves that we are afraid or incapable, we reinforce those beliefs, leading to a cycle of negativity. I share insights inspired by Erwin McManus, particularly his idea that our fears are intertwined with our nightmares, while our possibilities are linked to our dreams. I highlight the ease of falling into negative emotions and the challenge of actively choosing to shift towards positivity. This shift requires effort and commitment, as it involves breaking patterns that have become automatic in our lives.

830 | Regulate Your Emotions, Elevate Your Business
In this episode, I share the topic of emotional regulation and its massiveimpact on entrepreneurship. As I reflect on the five-year anniversary of my transition from a 27-year career to the online business world, I share insights that I wish I had learned much earlier in my journey. Emotional regulation, along with nervous system regulation and subconscious reprogramming, is not just beneficial but essential for sustainable business growth. There’s a huge difference between reacting and responding to situations. I emphasize that reacting is often an impulsive outburst driven by external stimuli, while responding involves a conscious choice that conserves energy and establishes boundaries. Mastering emotional regulation can lead to less stress, more ease, and a greater impact in our businesses, and is something I wish I had been open to learning earlier in my entrepreneurial journey. HIGHLIGHTS 00:00:00 - Introduction to Emotional Regulation in Business 00:01:00 - The Importance of Emotional Regulation 00:02:30 - Reacting vs. Responding 00:04:00 - The Challenge of Negative Emotions 00:05:30 - Emotional Regulation as the Missing Link 00:07:00 - The Impact of Emotional Reactivity on Business 00:08:30 - NLP and Emotional Regulation 00:10:00 - Techniques for Interrupting Negative Patterns 00:11:30 - Building Emotional Stability for Business Success 00:13:00 - The Role of Self-Trust and Resilience 00:14:30 - Homework: Applying Emotional Regulation Techniques 00:15:00 - Conclusion and Encouragement Marsha Vanwynsberghe — NLP Storytelling Trainer, OUTSPOKEN NLP Coaching Certification, Author, Speaker, and Podcaster Download “You Are Supported” Hypnosis and Subliminal Bundle HERE Join the next cohort of OUTSPOKEN NLP Coaching Certification (kick-off in March 2025) HERE Learn more about changing the Stories We Tell Ourselves Digital Program HERE.

829 | Can You Feel It Before You Have It?
In this episode, I dive into a powerful question: "Can you feel it before you have it?" This inquiry transcends the realm of wealth and touches on various aspects of our lives, including confidence and abundance. Drawing from my personal experiences, I share a moment from a recent panel discussion on wealth, where I confronted my own feelings of lack amidst a challenging time, including the loss of my mother-in-law. I reflect on how wealth is often perceived solely in terms of money, yet I emphasize that true wealth encompasses much more. I challenge the audience to consider whether they can feel wealth even when their bank accounts don’t reflect it or when they face rejection and negativity. By anchoring ourselves in the feelings of wealth and abundance, we can train our brains to recognize and accept these emotions as part of our reality, even before they manifest in our lives. I share practical strategies for shifting our mindset from lack to abundance, including the practice of "stacking the wins" and anchoring positive feelings in our bodies. HIGHLIGHTS 00:00:00 - Introduction: Can You Feel It Before You Have It? 00:01:00 - Personal Experience with Wealth and Abundance 00:02:00 - The Importance of Mindset in Feeling Wealth 00:03:00 - The Disconnect Between Money and Feeling Wealthy 00:04:00 - Shifting from Lack to Abundance 00:05:00 - Stacking Wins: Anchoring Positive Feelings 00:06:00 - Acting as If: Embodying the Energy of Wealth 00:07:00 - Becoming the Proof: Transformational Mindset 00:08:00 - Conclusion: Training Your Brain for Abundance Marsha Vanwynsberghe — NLP Storytelling Trainer, OUTSPOKEN NLP Coaching Certification, Author, Speaker, and Podcaster Download “You Are Supported” Hypnosis and Subliminal Bundle HERE Join the next cohort of OUTSPOKEN NLP Coaching Certification (kick-off in March 2025) HERE Learn more about changing the Stories We Tell Ourselves Digital Program HERE.

828 | Resilience in Motion - Carrying the Flag at the Paralympics with Brianna Hennessy
In this episode, I had the honour of speaking with Brianna, a 2x Paralympian, a remarkable athlete who has made history as the first Canadian to do both the canoe and kayak events at the Paralympic games. She was the first to receive a medal in para-canoe and the flag bearer at the closing ceremonies in London in 2024. Brianna is a 12xs world medalist between 3 parasports. Brianna shares her journey from being an able-bodied athlete in various sports to navigating the challenges of life after a catastrophic accident that left her with a brain injury and physical disabilities. Brianna reflects on her recent experience at the Paralympics in Paris, where she earned a silver medal and was honoured to be a flag bearer for Canada. This recognition, she explains, was a culmination of her hard work and advocacy for people with disabilities, which she holds close to her heart. Throughout our conversation, Brianna shares her personal story of resilience, detailing the traumatic accident that changed her life ten years ago. She recounts the moments in the hospital, the struggle with depression, and the pivotal decision to embrace parasport as a means of reclaiming her identity and purpose. Her journey into parasport was sparked by watching wheelchair rugby players, which inspired her to take the leap and join a community that celebrates abilities rather than disabilities. Brianna emphasizes the significance of perspective and gratitude. She encourages listeners to focus on what they have rather than what they’ve lost, sharing her personal mottos that guide her through tough times. Her story is a testament to the power of the human spirit, resilience, and the importance of community support.
