In this episode, we're getting honest about the crossroads many women find themselves at: the stage of becoming—where you're aligning with who God created you to be—or the stage of limiting beliefs, where old patterns, trauma responses, and subconscious fears are quietly running the show. I break down the differences between these two stages, how to recognize where you are, and why that stuck, spiraling feeling might actually be your soul asking for expansion. You'll learn how to identify if you're operating from truth or protection, how to begin shifting your internal narrative, and why becoming doesn't have to be dramatic—it just has to be honest. If you've been craving clarity, emotional freedom, and a deeper sense of self-trust, this one's for you. You'll walk away with powerful journal prompts and a somatic grounding practice to help you move forward with intention.

Snag my free 7 minute audio for releasing shoulder pain here.   Good morning, friend. Today, I want to focus on emotional intelligence and what it is and also why you as an entrepreneur or as just a creative person that's trying to navigate all the things in life and do everything you want, while also feeling that balance, right? And being able to have your rest and being able to have time away. It's just complicated mess in our busy, busy society. But one way for sure to help you get through that and to help you to be able to prioritize what you need personally in your life is by having emotional intelligence. So let's talk about that and let's talk about how you grow that part of you. So let's go ahead and get started. Hey friend, welcome to Deep Healing for Creative Entrepreneurs. My name is Aubrey Barr and I am a subconscious release technique practitioner and photography business owner. I know you are sick of ending your day feeling overwhelmed and exhausted and you are seeking a solution to help you feel creatively inspired and actively engaged in your business as well as personally. In this podcast, we are going to dig into any limiting beliefs or subconscious programs that are keeping you in a space filled with anxiety and stress. This work is not a temporary solution for your life. No, this is a complete transformation. So grab your coffee or tea and let's start you on the road to healing. And let me just say, you can do this. you are worth it, and you are meant to thrive in life and business. So let's dig in. If you're new here, welcome. Absolutely. I hope you find some knowledge and some encouragement in this episode today. For those of you who have been around, you know that I love to talk about this topic. And it's not something I would say I have mastered in all areas of life, But I can definitely promise you that I've taken my own experiences and my experiences with my clients, and I've came to a lot of really in-depth conclusions about how being emotionally intelligent reflects in your life, in your priorities, in your way of handling situations that come up. And that is by far one of the greatest things we can do is to invest in something for us that helps us live our lives easier. You know it's so funny I have just ADHD you guys know that there's certain things that I'm not great at and I absolutely can up front say hey I am not good at that and that's okay because there's plenty of things I am good at but one of the things that that is really difficult for me is organization, and being really in line with, let's say, a schedule or understanding how to lay things out so that it makes more sense to me. I recently started doing a program with some other people I met in the podcast world that also have a podcast. They're amazing. And I'll share more with you about them in the future. But for now, I'm going to say that they've really helped me start to lay things out. And when I can do that, when I could take this template of how to manage my money and the best ways to set aside certain amounts, if I have certain goals or, you know, and this includes my husband too, it really has been this missing link between how I want to run my life and how it was just organically playing out. And so it made me think, you know, a lot of people don't have the insight that I have when it comes to the emotional regulation to being able to feel your emotions and move on with a problem and learn from it, most of all, so you don't have to go through the same learning process again. And so because that is a gift of mine, I want to share with you a couple things that I feel like it's overlooked. And I want you as my listener and a friend to be able to look at your life and say, okay, these are the places where I'm having issues emotionally regulating, or this is the area that probably is showing me I have some some underlying trauma, and it's affecting my life in these ways. So I want this to be super helpful to you guys, and I know it will be. The biggest thing that is going to get in the way of you being able to regulate and prioritize and all the wonderful things that come with emotional regulation and intelligence is being able to decipher between what is going on in your past that has caused you to be reactive to certain things in your life. So a lot of you that are listening are going to be in this phase of reaction. And that's okay. hey, we've all been there. Everybody's been there. But staying in a state where you are constantly reactive to situations around you, and you are likely not reacting in the best way, maybe you feel anger, maybe you feel sadness, maybe you're uncontrollably crying. There's different things that come up where we're reacting to how we feel because we were not safe at some point. So for example, from a childhood perspective, maybe you didn't feel safe at home. Maybe you didn't feel safe at school, right? Something about that scenario made you super uncomfortable. So when something comes up where let's say you're being questioned. You could be in a situation where you honestly feel like people are attacking you or your credibility, when in reality, they're just asking for further facts. They're just asking for more clarification. This comes up a lot because it does feel like a personal attack. We kind of revert back to that six-year-old. Who maybe dealt with a lot of bullying or, you know, was super shy and just felt super traumatized when the teacher would call on them. So your subconscious mind is going back to those scenarios when you were six and how you perceived that situation based on the knowledge that a six-year-old has. Now, I have said, and I will continue to say, small children are intelligent. It's just that our our perspective is much different. It's that our emotional capacity is much different. We're told to do things that we don't understand or not to do things that we don't understand. We're told not to cry. That shows up as someone who's repressing their feelings and their emotions for their entire lives until we unlock that, until we say, you know what? It's okay to cry. It's okay. We all do it. come on, raise your hand. I was crying like yesterday in my car. So that's just life sometimes. So that's really what I want you to think about when you're assessing where you're at with your emotional intelligence is how do I react to situations? You know, it's okay to be upset. Like it's actually good to feel in the moment, wow, this really made me angry. You know, know, I don't like being taken advantage of or whatever. This phase of really feeling the emotions. Is so important, and it can last 10 minutes, and it could last, I'd say, up to a day, just depending on where you're at and also how severe the situation is, right? I'm not suggesting that in a serious, you know, family emergency or something, you should be fine in a day. I'm I'm talking about a situation that comes on, not something that you're, you know, living in deeply. Okay. So don't, don't get that out of hand because we all have grieving processes too, and that's going to be completely different. But the next phase of this situation would be, okay, I've felt my feelings. I've recognized them for what they are. I even started already to say, okay, but why are you angry? Well, duh, it's because X, Y, Z, right? Like you already started to kind of do that insight as to why you're feeling what you're feeling. The next thing you need to do is start the positive self-talk. You know, how do we make it better? in your own time when you are ready you get to make it better okay it doesn't matter about the other people it is nice when somebody offends us and they decide to apologize but to be honest with you a lot of emotional intelligence is being able to say even if this situation doesn't get better or doesn't get fixed even if that doesn't work the way I would like it to what can I take from this? How could I move on from here? You know, what things are, am I going to change in my own life as well as how am I going to put myself out there in the world to really define who I am and what I am okay with, right? Because a lot of this could be fixed by simply having that self-value and having this positive self-talk. That is how we do our own critical thinking. Our own problem solving is by being able to relate it to ourselves. Say, this is the lesson I need to learn here. Now, a lot of people go on the super defensive with this and they think they're doing it right and they're not. Because when you go super defensive, you become the victim and you stay the victim. Victim so if you're not questioning how you can alter your life to shift the situation around or to make sure that you don't have to deal with it or whatever then you're staying in the victim mentality and you might even be triggered by me saying that because it's crappy to be honest with you nobody really wants to be a victim it's not naturally fulfilling to be a victim of anything right so when you look at it and you're able to work through it and say this is how i will change the situation for the future. That is emotional regulation. That's the part of the puzzle that a lot of us can get muddied just based off of being hurt, you know, and a lot of people do a lot of mean things out there, right? But being able to regulate ourselves regardless of what other people do or say is a magical place to be in. I recently had a situation come up where I was really poorly treated and I don't really deal with that so much in my life anymore because I'm in a really healthy relationship with my husband and my daughter and I work for myself. So really, I'm not in workplace situations where people get undercut or things are said or there's gossipy situations. So I steer clear of that. And I was out of my game. Like I was really, I was quite shocked that this person treated me a really horrible way and it didn't make me feel good at all. I was very upset about it. So I'm driving around in my car and I'm like, whoa, is me, right? That's what I felt like because honestly, just completely blindsided by being treated bad, that bad, and that obviously manipulated. And so So I'm not feeling good about it. And I decided, OK, I'm going to take this opportunity because I can feel the energy around me and I could feel that I was like really hanging on to this, like this wrongdoing. It definitely triggered past experiences of my life where I was treated very unpoorly. And so I saw that coming up for me. And I'm like, this is not healthy to 20 hours later be this upset about this situation. And so I said, OK, I'm going to say a prayer because I really needed to clean this energy out. And that was my surefire way to connect back to my intuition, get a grip on things and clean out this energy without just straight up saging my Subaru. So that's what I did. And I laughed to myself because I just said I just, you know, having a conversation and I'm like, OK, OK, God. God, if you could help me to get over this, because I really, I can't hang on to it. I really couldn't, okay, because life has to move on. You know, when I'm that dysregulated, I'm not really as great at my job. So I know it affects my work, pretty much all of the jobs I do it affects. So I don't like being there. And I was ready to move on. And I just simply was asking, like, what can I do to make sure that I can shift this energy out? I can release these bonds like it always feels like to me there's an energetic grip hold on a situation that's what it feels like inside of me and I've seen it in other people too so how do I release this death grip on this situation so that I can move on I can be happy again you know and love my life again and I was thinking you know if they would just apologize if this person would would just apologize to me. I would absolutely accept it. Like I would be okay with it. I just don't want to be treated that way. And I know that personally knew that apology was an order. And so I said that and immediately my thoughts went to, no, you forgive first. And this may be, to you listening, a very Christian standpoint, which is okay. I am Christian. I wouldn't say that I'm a perfect Christian. Why would I need Christ? But when I heard that, I immediately knew that was true. I immediately knew that being in a place where I am emotionally intelligent, I get to see that next part. And I know that holding on to this emotionally triggered situation was not going to help me at all in any way possible and that is what I think we miss a lot of times when we want to hold on to it is that we're not hurting the other person we're hurting ourselves now mind you of course some people really do want to apologize and they really do want to feel like you know know, things are fine and that's great. But inside the amount of sadness and pressure that was being added into my daily routine was detrimental to where I like to live my life. You know, I like to be in a certain standard. I like to move through the cycles of thing without having this extra baggage. And so I knew in that moment that I had to forgive. And that may not be always the a story with certain traumas in our life. Okay. But understanding that you can go from being just completely upset to a place where you're like, wow, I have to move on from this and it's for my best interest. And then being able to go back to work, get my stuff going, you know, take care of my family without feeling this cloud of sadness or whatever over me is so empowering. Empowering, it is hard to even describe what that really feels like. Some of you know what I'm talking about. And sometimes it takes longer that cycle. But that is true emotional intelligence. And I'll say one more thing about it. When you're in that space, you are less likely to do things to other people that cause emotional distress. Because you're more compassionate, you're more empathetic towards what that life looks like, you know, that we all come into adulthood with some kind of trauma, either from childhood or generationally even, that hasn't even embelled itself yet. Every single one of us comes with that. But those of us that can work through that and can find that emotional regulation, we have a better chance of leaving this world with people People who are empowered with friendships that do last forever, with relationships that are super compassionate, love-filled, and just endearing, right? That is, I mean, to me, the ultimate way to live is being able to emotionally regulate regardless of what happens to us in our lives. Because. Crap is going to hit the fans, right? It is absolutely going to. And I just want you to know that you are fully capable of taking on these periodic situations in your relationships and in your life and in your schooling and in your work where you can come out stronger because of it. You know, you can come out with this lesson. You don't have to relive things. People think that we are destined to relive problems with boundaries or not having enough money or, you know, getting a divorces all the time, right? Like we think that that is just our life story and we have to relive it that way. And I am telling you right now, that is absolutely not true. So now that you've heard some of this about how we can take in those situations and we can feel them, we're not going to avoid them. We're not going to put them away in a little closet that we find in a year, right? We're going to feel them, and then we're going to process them. We're going to use our positive self-talk. We're going to use our ability to critical think. We're going to put ourselves in other people's shoes and understand that they obviously are reacting emotionally because they're triggered about something that has nothing to do with us. When you are able to work through those problems, I can promise you that life gets easier. I can promise you that you reach your goals faster. That you're able to become someone that is a leader in your community in whatever way possible. That you're able to empower other people to become better people, to follow their own personal goals and their own dreams. So I'm going to encourage you today to do that. If you have any excess emotional baggage that you feel like you absolutely need to get rid of, especially if it's settling in your shoulders, in your neck, those are usually programs around not feeling loved when we needed to feel loved. I have my freebie. It's a seven minute audio. It's me talking just like I am now and walking you through how to somatically release that tension and those feelings from your shoulders.

I didn't think I was going to get an episode in because we have guests at our house and I really have trouble balancing work and family duties when I'm around people that I haven't got to see very often. And I know some of you can relate with that, but we just came back from the zoo and I have a minute and I'm feeling super inspired to share something with you guys. I have been, for some reason, really listening in on manifestation lately. I've been tuning into it. I've been deciphering what feels correct to me and what feels incorrect. And I just wanted to share my overall experiences with you guys. I just going to say flat out, I do not consider myself an expert in this at all. However, I can clearly look through at times in my life where I have been able to manifest things into in my world, whether intentionally or unintentionally, and what I see actually happens. So I know it's possible. And I know there's a lot of mumbo jumbo out there will say a lot of little whispers and static in the airways about this topic. So hey, why not? Let's talk about it. But first, let's go ahead and roll those credits because I have so much to go over with you guys. All right, here we go. Hey, friend, welcome to deep healing for creative entrepreneurs. My name is Aubrey Barr, and I am a subconscious release technique practitioner and photography business owner. I know you are sick of ending your day feeling overwhelmed and exhausted, and you are seeking a solution to help you feel creatively inspired and actively engaged in your business as well as professionalism. In this podcast, we are going to dig into any limiting beliefs or subconscious programs that are keeping you in a space filled with anxiety and stress. This work is not a temporary solution for your life. No, this is a complete transformation. So grab your coffee or tea and let's start you on the road to healing. And let me just say, you can do this. you are worth it, and you are meant to thrive in life and business. So let's dig in. So something that comes up a lot with people who talk about manifesting and people who try to do manifesting, whether you're a student or someone who feels like you're a coach, wherever you're at, there's this idea that the way that you feel is the way that things will be. And I believe it was Neville Goddard who said, assume the feeling of your wish fulfilled and observe the route that your attention follows. Okay. So a lot of people hear this and they think that they are supposed to feel into what that manifestation is like. So they're going to feel what it feels like to have this million dollar home or to have that partner that's just like the best thing that ever happened to you. And I do think there's truth to that, right? There's truth to feeling that deep inside. I talk about it all the time. When I feel into my gratitudes, when I allow myself to move to that higher vibration, I change my day. I absolutely stop maybe a bad day in its tracks and rearrange things and feel into that. I feel first and then the gratitude comes, right? Right. But what gets misconstrued a lot, I think, is that people think that when you are manifesting something and you are feeling into something, then you cannot waver from that feeling. So if I am manifesting this dream spouse, he's just like this incredible person. I know what I want to feel like around him. And I allow that to be my thing. And then you go on a date and you meet someone who you think is going to be the right guy. And it's just like, no, this is not happening whatsoever. And you actually leave feeling crappy. happy, right? You leave feeling unfulfilled and feeling really hopeless about, you know, your future with somebody. That moment, okay, is not going to break you. It's not going to be the end all of your manifestation journey. And I think people get so stuck in feeling like it has to feel good all the time. They have to always hold on to that feeling that they miss out on learning the opportunities. They miss out on learning like this experience has taught me what I do not want. And not only has it done that, but it's pushed me now in such a way that I am so motivated to go the other direction that I cannot even waver from that path now, right? So using your emotions for fuel towards this manifestation is always going to be better. It's always going to allow you to get closer. Does that make sense? I can't tell you how many times I have felt like, okay, I need to make this amount of money and I'm going to manifest it into my life. And I have all these offerings, which you guys know I do. And I do so many things. So I can manifest it through photography. I can manifest it through even doing my work, my subconscious work, but also massage work, right? I can, there's just ways for me to get it. Let's say that. And so I set that intention. I put it out there. I imagine what it's like. I feel into that. And then I have a bad day. And this day sucks so bad that it's hard for me to even feel gratitude. This happens to me too. I am human just like you are. But when those times happen and it's hard for me to lean into that, I tell you what, sometimes that is my biggest day. I end up booking two clients. I end up getting a photography contract that's $3,000, right? Those things happen on those off days too. And I'm sure if you take a minute and think back through your life at times when things you wanted to happen, and maybe you were feeling super pushed about it, and you were feeling just kind of down about it, those moments were not in vain. They were not perfect. They were not the perfect day on the most wonderful thing you were doing, and just like your emotions were so amazing, right? Sometimes it's those moments when we're not having the greatest day. What we need to understand is that when we set life in motion, and when we allow ourselves to imagine something better for ourselves. We are imagining in a different realm. We're not imagining in the 3D, right? Because if we were doing that, then we would have to play out exactly how each of those things were coming to us. We'd have to say, okay, when I go to the coffee shop at 8 a.m., that is where I will meet Mr. Right. He's going to be standing right there. He's going to actually even pay for my order. He's going to do all these things, right? That's ridiculous. And that puts puts limitations on us. So when we imagine things and we manifest things or we think we're manifesting things in the 3D, that is actually limiting ourselves. And so I've done this a million times too, where I will say, okay, well, I'm going to sell this course. It's going to be incredible. I really feel inclined to sell it. It's going to do so amazing. I'm going to bring in this amount of money, yada, yada. And then what happens is I bring in that amount of money, but it was in a completely different way. So I knew I was doing something right. I knew I was on the right path, but yet it wasn't playing out the way I thought it would. What I want you to understand, okay, is that it is not only okay to not feel great about something 100% of the time, but it also is completely normal and it's not bad. No emotions that you feel are bad. Emotions are neutral, okay? Okay, it's the experience that you put on that emotion that allows it to be a good or bad thing. There's no escaping emotion, unless you're a psychopath. That's a podcast episode on its own, right? But there's no escaping that. Whatever you have going on in your life is for your benefit to help you move towards something else. I know that's a hard pill to swallow sometimes. So let's take that example around finding that spouse, finding that significant other, right? and putting a limit on it. When we say it out loud, it sounds ridiculous. But when we use our experiences that we've had in life that maybe were crappy experiences, things that we do not wish on our daughters, we do not wish on our friends, we don't wish on our enemies. We want people to find what they're looking for in life. If you take that experience and you label it, then you're constantly allowing yourself to stay in that 3D where you are controlling everything. Instead, Let's release the need to label something. Let's allow ourselves to manifest something good into our lives without having the limitations. Right? Let's lead with our emotion, whether that's good or bad, whether that feels comfortable or uncomfortable. Okay? So when Neville Goddard said, assume the feeling of your wish fulfilled and observe that route that your attention follows. He did not mean that you always have to stay in that vibration. What he meant was assume you're going to get there. In other words, when you put time and energy and effort into something that you really want and you say flat out, this is what I desire. This is what I know I deserve. I don't know how I'm going to get there. That's the part right there. I do not know how I'm going to get there, but I'm going to provide that there's paths in certain directions. I'm going to be open to opportunities that come my way that would push me in a different direction, right? So assuming the emotion is then trusting, isn't it? It's more about trusting that whatever it is you have asked for is already coming to you and you detach that emotion from it. You are no longer restricting yourself. Everything that has a negative emotion attached to it and it feels like I need that and and you put that word out there, need, and I know you know what I'm talking about. Like I need $10,000. Like I need it yesterday. I have to pay my mortgage. I have to do this, whatever. When you add that extra need to it, what you're actually doing, restricting that from coming your way. You're putting up a boundary and you don't even know it. So here's the coin I want you to take with you. Next time you're having a bad day, why don't you feel into those emotions? Say, you know what? I'm having a bad day because this actually just sucks, right? Like this just doesn't feel good. I'm sad. I feel grief. I feel guilt. I'm having a bad day and that's okay. But don't assume that nothing good is going to happen to you now. Don't revert back to that part of you that feels hopeless, right? That part of you is a child. I want you to understand that. That is the child in all of us. I've met plenty of adults who still have that child in them that has not let go of that death grip, okay? You don't want to be that person. You want to have enough emotional intelligence to understand that you are going to have bad days. You're going to feel like crap sometimes some days are going to suck like it's just it's gonna suck you guys i know this you know this but understanding that you will come out the other side not giving up hope in everything that you are and everything that you've worked for that is where the magic stands and i believe in my opinion that's how we still manifest through all of this that's how people can still manifest fest and have bad days and have good days and, you know, feel like, oh my gosh, it's almost here one day and the next day, like I'm a, I'm an utter failure. So please keep that in your mind. Keep that in your heart. Understand that you're a human and allow yourself to roll with it. Allow whatever opportunities to come your way. Come with openness. Like, I don't know how this is going to work, but here's this opportunity. It's not what I thought it was going to be, but I feel good about it. And I'm going to let that happen to me. I'm going to see what happens here. So I hope that's helpful to you guys. I don't know why that was on my mind, but it is something that I've dealt with in the the past and I thought it might be a really good conversation for us to have. I want to tell you guys I am so celebrating right now because this podcast finally got to 10,000 downloads. That was a huge goal of mine since I started. There was just something about that 10,000 downloads that I was yearning for and I might have, honestly, just between you and I, I might have held on to that too much and even restricted it myself for a while. But we all have to learn from something, thing, right? Here I am. I'm still going strong. I had got my 10,000 downloads. I see so much more in the future of this podcast, in the future of me with my business. And I am so sorry if you can hear kids yelling in the background. They're having the time of their lives, these cousins. So I apologize, but I did want to record today. I did want to share my message with you guys. And I also wanted to take the opportunity to tell you I had a really important epiphany about the work that I do. And I decided that I wanted to open up my course, Deep Healing for the Creative Soul, for more souls. And I want to make this accessible to people. I am seeing a lot of businesses go down. I'm seeing a lot of artists and creatives just feeling hopeless. And I'm. I happen to know that there's a lot of hope out there, that there's a lot of growth and we do not need to live in scarcity, but I want to spread that message to you. And I want to reach as many people as I possibly can. And so I decided to reshape the way I do this program. I am no longer offering private sessions with that program. I used to offer four private sessions plus weekly group calls. And I'm taking that back a notch in order to provide this beautiful masterpiece that I worked so hard on and came through intuition and divine guidance to so many people. I want to offer it to you. And I want it to be at a price point that you can reasonably say you can invest in yourself. Now, we all know that you are worth every penny of it. when it was $2,222, you are worth it. The work is worth it. This is life-changing. It's not just something I talk about. It's something my clients live. It's something that changes lives like that. But instead of that price point, I decided to keep it to 16 weeks of pure magic self-paced work bi-weekly group sessions. So what does that mean? That means every first and third Wednesday. We will be meeting as a group. One of the monthly meetings is going to be in the middle of the day, Eastern Time, and one is going to be in the evening, Easter Time. So we're going to try to accommodate people from all over. I know this podcast is a global podcast, and I want to be able to offer that to you guys. Because I have the opportunity to change what is offered in the program, it takes the weight off of me to have such a high price point, and I'm able to bring it down to $8.88. Okay, so if this sounds like something that you want in on, I am only offering 10 spots at this rate. We are going to try it out, consider it a beta. This is the same price as my original beta program, by the way, that sold out. So I am offering 10 spots only. I sent out an email this morning and I already filled one of the spots. So I've got nine spots left. It's an incredible deal. Please know there are still payments that you can do. You can do a monthly payment, but it does come out to be $9.99. If you do the full payment, it's $8.88. You guys, this is insane. This is my way to get back to all of you that I know are in that space of just struggling, not feeling like you can manifest things, not feeling like you can fully embody everything that's coming to you. And I want to change that with you. I want you to look back and say, you know what? That was the best program I ever took. That was the best time I had with Aubrey. Because I'll tell you something, none of my clients are upset when they finish sessions with me, when they do this course with me. Nobody's ever upset about it. Like everybody knows they need it. It's taking that leap, believing in yourself, knowing you're worth it, knowing that now is the time that you're worth it. That's when the magic happens. So I can't promise that I will keep this course at this rate, but right now it feels so good to offer it to you guys. In a different package like this. So follow the link below in the show notes, check it out, see if it fits. Let me know if you have any questions whatsoever. I'm always happy to answer them. And I am just so excited to see who comes in here with me. And I'm going to be honest, I am manifesting 10 of the most amazing people out there. I am manifesting you into this program. Graham. So wherever you are, whoever you are, I am just so excited to get to share this energy with you, to get to help you to heal. Finally, we're going to save you a ton of time, money, energy that you're needing for therapy through this course. I can promise you that. I hear it from every single one of my clients. All right, guys, I hope you have a beautiful week. I have a special message coming later on this week. It is my birthday, and that is going to be so amazing. I absolutely am so ready to celebrate. So I hope you guys have fun. We'll talk to you soon. I hope this podcast spoke to you in some way. If it did, please go ahead and leave me a review view and subscribe so that I know you're enjoying what you hear.

Hello, my friends. Join us for the next round of Deep Healing for the Creative Soul, use code "presale" for 40% off I hope you are all well and this finds you just happy about life. But if by chance it doesn't, we might be going over something today that's actually going to shift your mindset and shift the way you think about your business and about your personal life. I want to talk to you guys today about instant gratification. And I know everybody already knows what I'm talking about when I say those two words. It is absolutely in our face and in every way in society, everybody wants that instant gratification. They want that Amazon package delivered in two hours, right? Not two days. They want those likes on their post and that viral TikTok or whatever it is you put out in the world. Hey friend, welcome to Deep Healing for Creative Entrepreneurs. My name is Aubrey Barr and I am a subconscious release technique practitioner and photography business owner. I know you are sick of ending your day feeling overwhelmed and exhausted and you are seeking a solution to help you feel creatively inspired and actively engaged in your business as well as personal life. In this podcast, we are going to dig into any limiting beliefs or subconscious programs that are keeping you in a space filled with anxiety and stress. This work is not a temporary solution for your life. No, this is a complete transformation. So grab your coffee or tea and let's start you on the road to healing. And let me just say, you can do this. You are worth it and you are meant to thrive in life and business. So let's. Some of you listening today to this episode are wanting to start a business and don't know where to begin. Kudos for you for looking at the mindset behind it because wow, a lot of us didn't realize there was so much to the subconscious when you're starting your own business. For the rest of you who already have a business but are looking at scaling or even shifting into a different realm. Maybe it's mentoring that you've been wanting to do or shifting complete genres, right? Whatever you're doing right now where you know you're kind of stuck at one point and you want to grow past that, that is why you're listening today. I'm going to be straight up honest with you guys, okay? I have paid a lot of money to get coaches on the business side of things that will help me form my business, market my business, put out content for my business. And I'm going to tell you right now, the best coaches and the best programs for me all had a strategy forward approach with a tiny bit of mindset work in the back. Let me explain this to you a little bit, okay? Strategy forward, what I mean by that is that, hey, this is how you start a business. This is how you maintain a business. This is how you talk about it and you share it with people. And these are the points you want to make. And this is how you want to come up with your ideal client and speak to that person. There's all this strategy behind it how many times you should post you know what kinds of questions you want to ask your audience how you want to engage with them all of these are so beneficial and I'm not overlooking them or downgrading them but I promise you your strategy is not as important as your mindset. And part of the reason why this is so essential is that instant gratification. It's that need to see that what we're doing is working. And the critical thing about this is that what you're doing is not going to work if your mindset is still keeping you in that lower vibration, in that lower world, that one where you don't believe you can scale, where you don't really think you are worth people's time, where you don't really think that you can charge that much and still have clients, right? There's a whole mindset behind that. that people who make a lot of money are the ones who have no issue making claims about their work. They do not tittle-tattle, tittle-tattle, I don't know if that's a word. They don't go back and forth in their heads about, should I do this? Should I do that? No, they do it. They go for it. And whoever wants to meet them on their level will buy with them. They will be in their world. They will choose to work with them. Okay. When you are stuck in this place, and I know it's subconscious, so some of you may not even recognize it. Okay. So just allow yourself to think, is this me? You're stuck in a place where you know you need to raise your prices, but you don't want to do it. You've been fighting with it because you honestly believe that those people that have already purchased with you will never come back to you. Okay. OK, and even though the logic is not sound there, OK, because we all know that we're all paying extra for things, we are dealing with inflation right in our face where it's super obvious. In the past, it's been slow and kind of like, oh, that feels like it's a little bit more now. Right now, it's in our face. There's no way to avoid the fact that we are paying more for things we used to pay less for. OK, so when you think about that, why why would we not expect that from those people in our lives that we do work with? I personally do not expect my hairdresser to charge me the same thing as she did 10 years ago. Like that would be crazy, right? But yeah, we put that burden on ourselves and we're doing it from a subconscious level. We are comfortable making $500 for this family session. That feels good to us and it feels sellable. We're not comfortable with asking for $750 for the same thing. Right? We actually have an income line, a salary cap in our subconscious that's saying, no, we can't go above that. And that's what a lot of you are dealing with. But yet you're seeking other strategy, right? You're looking for new ways to market and that's fine. I'm not saying you shouldn't at all. What I am saying is we're getting, putting too much focus on the the strategy and not enough on the mindset. I mentioned my coaches earlier. Every coach that I had that I have a high amount of respect for, and I absolutely love that I spent money on their program, every single one of those know without a shadow of doubt that mindset work is super super powerful. And it is often what people need to break through their current income levels or their current growth strategy. Because maybe you're growing so that you put less time into your work, but you're still making the same amount, right? It's not always about that money coming in, right? Either way, it's scaling. So those people absolutely know that. And actually, Actually, one of my coaches sent out an email about me two days ago. I was completely shocked to read it. She was talking about scaling your business to 10K months. And she is a very, very good coach. I know that sounds like a... Total selling point now because we hear it so often, oh, you want to make 10K in one month, right? And it's definitely out there. I'll give you that. But this coach in particular is crazy good at what she does. And she is very much worth the investment. But she sent out an email about that. And she talked about how people are always wanting that instant gratification. They are wanting that opportunity to put in, even just purchase a course, and then think that the next Oh, bam, 10K, I made it, right? And it sounds so dumb when we just say it, but it is subconsciously what we're expecting. We're upset because it didn't work in the first month, right? We don't think that we have to put that much time into it because we're learning it. That's what we're here for. We think it's supposed to be fast. But nonetheless, I wanted to read a little bit about what she wrote because I think it's the best advice and it just 100% goes along with my way way of thinking about how I work on the subconscious mind. So I wanted to share some with you guys. Okay. It says, how long does it take to make 10K a month? This is the most common question I get asked. And the answer is always, it depends. It depends on what your childhood looked like. It depends on your ability to handle pressure. It depends on how long you take to make decisions. Because your childhood, your traumas, and your conditioning affect how you show up for your life and your business. And how you show up defines the results you'll get. This is 100% true. This is what I have seen over and over again. This is where people miss the mark. People will spend days, hours, months working on strategy, and they still won't be able to to succeed because their mindset is not accepting of their new goal and their new growth, okay? The main motto, you can achieve anything you want, you just have to work harder. And if you haven't reached your goal, then it's because you haven't worked hard enough. You guys hear me talk about this all the time. It's that hard work mentality. It's a generational trauma. And it's absolutely the reason why a lot of you can't make passive income and you can't make sales quickly, okay? Totally, you guys, listen, this is totally, totally, I made up a word for this. It is totally fixable. Like a hundred percent, you can get past that. It's not going to hold you back as long as you know what to do about it. But she went on to say, It wasn't until I understood how to manage my capacity, work through a lot of my childhood trauma and workaholism, and investing heavily into becoming aware and healing those wounds that I was able to scale to 100K months. And just a side note, I personally know that she makes well over 100K in a month at this point. But she goes on to say, your business success will not just depend on the strategies you you know, but also on your early childhood and generational experiences that have shaped your whole life. I know many of you struggle to show up and let yourself be seen. You struggle with imposter syndrome or not feeling good enough. That's why I wanted to introduce you to my VIP client, Aubrey Barr. Now, I was absolutely flabbergasted at reading this email because Because she's absolutely talking about the mindset work that I love and talk about all the time. And she 100% agrees with me. Someone who's making way more, let's just say it, than I am, okay? Way more. But she understands the value of the subconscious work that I do. And I am honored that she understands that and that she shares that with her world because because she has a lot of reach out there. So that definitely made me happy. But let's be honest, if I didn't go out every day and share this passion and this knowledge with people, and be able to help them move past their limiting beliefs, and guess what? I show up, even though it doesn't always feel like I'm getting that instant gratification. I'm not always getting top downloads on my podcast or, you know, a crap ton of people on my YouTube videos, which are few and far between. Like not everything I do is going viral and getting all that traction that feels beautiful and accepting and amazing, right? But guess what? I'm still out there. I'm still doing my thing because I believe in what I do. And I have a why underneath here that says, you know what? You need to help other people to understand. What is actually holding them back, and then show them the blueprint. Show them the way in which they're going to be able to move past these issues. Because no matter what business you have now, it will not succeed if it keeps coming across these negative thought patterns. Eventually, you will give in. Most people are not strong enough to keep fighting and fighting day in and day out without getting that mindset shift and mindset support. This is the ultimate goal of subconscious release technique and being able to heal from the inside out. So wherever you're at, I invite you to join us for Deep Healing for the Creative Soul. I am starting a new group here in three weeks. And if you guys sign up today, I am giving you 40% off, which is crazy, crazy good. OK, you can do payments. And honestly, I'm not trying to get you in there. If you can't afford it, then you should absolutely not do it. However, for those of you who are sick of being on that hamster wheel, you're sick of turning and getting the same results. I want you in my world. I want to provide a space for you to be more than you can imagine in every phase of life. That is my goal. That is my passion. That is why I'm here. And that is who I am at the core level. So my friend, please join us in this next round and be ready. Okay. Just be ready for good things to happen to you because that's exactly what we're going to do. We're going to release any of the bad programming that's telling you those things will not happen for you. That's telling you to give up. That's telling you it's too hard and making you live in scarcity. That is the opposite of where you want to be on this path. You guys have so much potential.

I hope everyone had a fabulous Memorial Day to my Americans. We got an extra day off, which was nice, but I'm still recording this before we head to the Memorial Day tribute, which my mother-in-law is going to be speaking at. So it's going to be amazing. I wanted to take a minute and come on here and talk to you guys about self-reflection when it comes to trials and traumas and things that come up in your life that you have to deal with. So let's go ahead and get started. Here we go. Hey friend, welcome to Deep Healing for Creative Entrepreneurs. My name is Aubrey Barr and I am a subconscious release technique practitioner and photography business owner. I know you are sick of ending your day feeling overwhelmed and exhausted and you are seeking a solution to help you feel creatively inspired and actively engaged in your business as well as personal life. In this podcast, we are going to dig into any limiting beliefs or subconscious programs that are keeping you in a space filled with anxiety and stress. This work is not a temporary solution for your life. No, this is a complete transformation. So grab your coffee or tea and let's start you on the road to healing. And let me just say, you can do this, you are worth it, and you are meant to thrive in life and business. So let's dig in. Music. I know this doesn't come as a surprise, but every single person out there in the world and those that are listening to this will go through ups and downs in life, right? We all have situations come up where it tests us, where it really makes us dig deep. And, you know, I mean, we've all survived so far, right? If you're listening to this, but sometimes these can be very big and sometimes they can be somewhat small. So regardless of where these issues come up and when, the mindset that follows them is a huge indication of where you are at on your healing journey and being able to assess these things for your benefit. So a lot of us will come across a situation that makes us feel completely defeated and sometimes this sneaks up on you and sometimes it's been building for a while right sometimes we're not really surprised that something's came up what you need to do is next time you are in a situation where this definitely feels like a trial where you could say okay this has shifted my day my week this has changed the way i feel about something i want you you to sit with it for a minute instead of brushing it away and kind of excusing it, right? As another issue, we all have crap days, right? Crap hits the fan. Try not to cuss here. But instead of just overpowering that and getting into the right mindset. Let's sit with it for a minute. Let's think about it for a second, because when you get the opportunity to self-reflect in those moments, it adds to your emotional intelligence. It adds to your ability to overcome the problem. What we don't wanna do is just stuff it away. We don't wanna ignore it and save it for next week or five years from now, right? And sometimes it's necessary to process things at our availability when we can. I did an episode. Let me check. Episode 132 is two tips to help you keep it together temporarily so that you can master that emotional intelligence. So if you're in a situation where you absolutely have to show up doing whatever you're doing, but something goes wrong, right? There are ways to sidestep that temporarily that are healthy ways that will allow you to get back into the energy of things and save it for later with a promise of being able to process that at a different time. So check that out if you need help with that. But basically, when we default to, this is horrible, this is the worst thing that could happen to me, all these things come up, right? We are absolutely sometimes overreacting. And that comes very easily to those of us who have not processed or healed past traumas, that we are stuck in this nervous system. Dysregulation, that's when it'll come up the most. So it'll be like, why are we freaking out over something that maybe it's going to matter tomorrow, but maybe in a month, it's not going to matter. Maybe in a month, we're going to have a better outlook, or we're going to see that there's other opportunities in this. And honestly, sometimes we need a friend, we need a partner, her. We need someone else in our lives that are going to say, okay, Aubrey, I think you're taking this too seriously, right? So self-reflection does win, but sometimes we need a little help kind of getting us there. And that's okay too. What I really want to focus on today is the difference between seeing things that happen in your life as happening to you and seeing things in your life is happening for you. And there is a massive difference in mindset between these two. Now, I have lived most of my life on the first one where everything that was happening to me, right? And it didn't mean I was super negative. I wasn't. I've always been very optimistic in things. But at the same time, I definitely felt that victimhood, like, why is this happening to me this way? You know, how can I stop these things from happening to me? I have a lot of past traumas between just dealing with some really horrible things, right? And so I always felt like those were happening to me. Like, do I have something on my head that's like, hey, I'm going to be a victim. And energetically, I think that I might have. I really do. Now that I have that beautiful thing, hindsight, right? At almost 41 years old, finally acquired that hindsight mentality. But when you look at things differently, when you say, okay, this is really crappy. I'm going to let it settle. I'm going to feel all the feelings. I'm going to journal about it. I'm at a rest. Whatever it is you need to do. Maybe you're going to go run a marathon. Get your head in the right space again, but allow yourself to process everything that you feel around the situation. When you come back to it, that's when you want to look at it and say, okay, how is this better for me? You know, and this is definitely a cliche, but we've all heard that saying where it's like one door closes, another one opens, right? And that is not a bad way to look at things, right? Man, some of the biggest trials I've experienced in my life Life shook me up so bad and yet stuck me on a completely different pathway, one that I'm not sure I would have gone on willingly. Things are hard, right? It's hard to change things in life. It's hard to transform. It's hard to shift your business. It's hard to start a new relationship. But yet sometimes during these biggest trials, that is exactly what we get to do. We get to choose something that in the end is probably better for us, but we couldn't even see it before. If you guys follow me, let me know, tell me, because I know that this is speaking to you. What really needs to happen is we have to learn to shift that on our own. We have to learn to see opportunities. As fast as we could process something, we need to be able to see the opportunities in it. But that doesn't disregard sitting in the pain or the sadness. It just means we're quicker to accept that maybe this is putting us on a different path. And that could be for your benefit. In fact, I'd go as far as to say that most of the things that I've had to deal with on a. So if you get a minute today, I would love for you to write down some of the bigger things you've been through and how that worked out better for you, right? We need to start retraining our mind around those positive experiences that we have after the fact. For example, a really bad breakup often opens your heart up to a different person, maybe someone totally different, But also that opportunity of meeting them, right? Being at the right place at the right time. I love stories like that. In fact, my own story with my husband, how we met was very similar to that where I was completely, utterly like just ripped apart in my previous marriage. And I went back up to Alaska. And within two months, my sister was like, Hey, you need to talk to this guy. Remember he was at the wedding. He was my brother-in-law's best friend. He's a nice guy. You guys should talk. He's not dating anyone, blah, blah, blah. I'm like, okay. So I did. I started this long distance relationship with some guy that I was in a wedding with, never talked to, never said one word to. In fact, in the pictures at the rehearsal dinner, we're looking the other direction. I don't even know if we had eye contact. Okay. And yet four years later, we're talking over the phone like every day and he lived 4,000 miles away. It felt very safe to my nervous system to allow myself to open up to someone who lived so far away. I didn't have to go see him every day. I didn't have to feel like claustrophobic, which I was dealing with a lot, very much a lot. And within a few months, I mean, he proposed to me the week in my divorce finally went through. So I went from being. Completely broken, okay, in September 2004 to being married and completely in love in October 2005. And I'm not saying that was the end of my journey, but I am saying that being able to look at my situation and see the opportunities that came my way, for one, I was able to recognize qualities in this man that I hadn't seen, I didn't know was possible, right? Because my entire experience before that moment with men helped me. I pretty much gave me a crash course in what I didn't want. Being able to recognize signs of abuse, being able to recognize that not all people are good, right? These were lessons that I learned very fast. I had to learn that. And then I had to be put in a situation where I chose my life over any of my belongings. That's a story in itself, but it just goes to show you that sometimes these bigger things happen to us and we just think it's the most horrible thing, and yet it opens a different door for us. When you can get to a place where you're open to these opportunities because of the experience, that's where you start to see all these positive things happen for you. And who's to say that even in the midst of scarcity and lack there's more out there that's a mindset shift that takes a lot of us a long time and i see it played out in our businesses too where we feel like well we're not getting booked but all these people are and there's something wrong with us and we kind of default to i'll never get another booking and then what plays out that exact thing right put yourself in a situation where you can say okay this was not a great month but I'm open to the opportunity for more that's what you want to tell yourself and you want to tell yourself confidently and actually we're going to go ahead and do an affirmation and maybe we'll do some tapping so just go ahead and tap on your collarbone and then you can repeat after me I am so happy and so thankful. I am open to receiving more than I can imagine in all areas of my life. All right, my friends, I hope you enjoyed that. I want to say that all of the work I do, everything that involves my coaching, everything you'll find on my website, courses.aubreybarr.com, all of that has a basis in self-confidence and self-love. It's through this kind of work that we truly start to shape. Our minds towards a growth mindset instead of lack. I don't know if you guys have noticed, but there is a whole lot of noise out there lately. A lot of people talking about their business shutting down, about having to quit on something, about inflation, all of the things, right? All of these things, while has some truth, right? There's some bearing of truth in them. it leads people to be discouraged it leads people to feel scarcity and to feel lack and when we are living a life in lack and scarcity that is when the biggest problems come up because now we allow more into our lives we shut off our ability to see opportunity we shut off our ability to shift our business towards growth because all we see is the negativity so i want to send a little message to you out there and ask you to really tune into where you're spending your time. What websites, what group communities, YouTube channels, whatever they may be, are they lifting you up or are they repeating the scarcity and the lack and the lies? That is going to be a huge shift for you. And I just want to let you guys know that when you spend days in that world, and even Even if it's a friendship or partnership, just know that you are taking all of that in and claiming it for yourself. So start today by claiming something different. Make conscious decisions that put you in a space of growth and opportunity. And if you need help shifting a certain category, whether it be money stuff, dealing with inflation, or even dealing with your body, with health things you have going on, check out the website website, courses.aubreybar.com, and you will find several different programs that I have to help you shift out of that mindset and into something better, into that basis of self-love and appreciation. All right, guys, have a beautiful day. I will talk to you soon. I hope this podcast spoke to you in some way. If it did, please go ahead and leave me a review you and subscribe so that I know you're enjoying what you hear. And further, if you know somebody else who owns their own creative business and struggles with anything that we spoke about, please pass this on because it is my hope that we will be able to build a community of like-minded individuals who love on each other and appreciate the many facets that make our creative business so unique.

In today's episode, Aubrey dives deep into understanding the undercurrents of self-criticism and why it is so intrinsic to our nature. We explore the origins of these habitual patterns by looking at toddlers' responses to frustration and distress. Think back to when you saw a toddler throwing a tantrum or hurting themselves out of frustration. As we grow up, these patterns of self-belittlement, self-discipline, and guilt evolve into subtler forms of negative self-talk and behavior. Aubrey emphasizes that just as it's our responsibility to guide and nurture young children, we should provide ourselves with the same care and understanding. Drawing upon her expertise in working with the subconscious mind, Aubrey discusses how deeply entrenched these self-critical notions can be, and how they often mask themselves as 'realities' fed by our psyche. Despite the negativity that rests within us, we need to continuously compliment these aspects with positive affirmations and compelling beliefs. Further, she shares four useful strategies for planting seeds of empowerment and self-love, which include spiritual engagement, physical activities, gaining knowledge, and a time for self-reflection. These activities aim at progressively shifting your thought process and inner dialogue, thus making changes at a deeper level. Aubrey also introduces her self-led course, 'The Ultimate Love Your Body Course.' The program aims to help individuals erase negative stories about their physical appearance and sensations, encouraging a healthier mental and physical outlook. Tune in to today's powerful episode to kickstart your journey toward deep healing!
