Have you ever thought about social norms?
For example, have you ever thought about the things that we're âsupposed to doâ or whatâs âexpectedâ of us? Social norms are the unwritten rules of beliefs, attitudes, and behaviors that are considered acceptable in a particular social group or culture. The container for these norms are within the conversations we have. What we should and shouldnât do are held in our conversations that we have on a day-to-day basis. These "norms" provide us with an expected idea of how to behave and function to provide order and predictability in society.
Dive into this episode to hear about societal norms and how they effect our decisions when we decide to leap into the 9-5 world or leap out!

Have you ever felt like you know there is something more for you, you know that you arenât tapping into your full potential. But then at the same time you wonder if you have what it takes and are scared of failure? I was stuck in this space for a really long time and it was really the source of so much of my anxiety and unhappiness because being in between wanting to go for it and fear of failure is not a fun limbo to be in.
This episode shares about a book called The Big Leap by Gay Hedricks. In a nutshell this book asserts that there is only one barrier in the way of us finding happiness and fulfilment so that as individuals we can achieve our highest potential. The one barrier is called the Upper Limit Problem.

Reinventing yourself. Many of us come to a crossroads in our life where itâs time to reinvent ourselves. Sometimes this crossroad feels more like being backed into a corner, at least that was how it felt for me.

This episode is a gift from our client, friend, and collaborator Chardee McEwan.
If you loved Episode 60 "The Secret to Fast Growth: Creating Community" but are feeling a little hesitant, confronted, concerned, or some kind of way about being with others then this hypnotic mediation is a great tool for you to rewire your subconscious.
Many of us struggle with being with others because of things that happened in the past or experiences we have had with others that hurt or disappointed us. These past experiences programmed our subconscious to believe that it isnât safe to put yourself out there or be with others. Our subconscious beliefs can easily be reprogrammed with hypnosis meditations (this is not the same thing as medical hypnosis). Listen to this track every morning and before bed to start seeing results in creating connection and community.

What if you had a really successful career as a psychotherapist and hypnotherapist but you kept feeling this consistent pull into sharing your more magical gifts like shamanic healing and clearing peopleâs energy fields? And what if a large reason why you were going to finally leave your 9-5 was because you lived in Australia but the love of your life lived in Canada and having your own business was the way to have it all work out?
