Setting boundaries takes strength, resilience, and courage. It can often feel like a daunting task when you may have been a people pleaser in the past. You have made a commitment to yourself when you chose to have bariatric surgery and part of that is making health and wellness a priority, which means making YOURSELF a priority for possibly the first time in your life.

Part of being human is having a desire for evolution and change. We are seekers of constant improvement. Sometimes change is hard to come by because there's no clear path to go from where we are to what we want. This is where determination and resolve come in handy.   I think it's safe to say that if you're reading this, you want to take charge of making changes in your life.    You're ready to take an active role in creating what you want in your life experience.    Great — taking ownership of your success journey will require a few things that when you apply consistently will make success a reality faster than you might think.    You must have the potential for change. Nothing will happen without it. So, How do you know if you've got potential for change? You feel unsatisfied with things in your life experience and have a nagging thought you're meant for more. You have a curious mind. You have an ability and desire to learn. You're ready to take responsibility for the 4 things you can control: Your thoughts — Your thoughts lead to your focus which leads to your outcomes. If your thoughts aren't leading to successful outcomes, you can change them to something that better serves you. Check out our free resources linked in the show notes. Your emotions — Emotions are communication from your unconscious mind. Learn from them, process them, and get into feel-good states. Your language — The words you speak and the words in your mind matter. Use positive, toward language to speak to the things you want and how you want them (not about what you don't want). Your actions — Take consistent action that aligns with the success you want. The key is to do it consistently and with intention. Be at cause. This is the essential NLP frame for empowerment.When you decide to take ownership of your outcomes, you become more aware of your state, environment, and the outcomes you're currently getting. The empowerment frame teaches that you are the sum of your conscious and unconscious choices. So if you want to know how you're doing, just look around what's going on internally and externally. There's no blame here — only the knowledge and awareness that you have a choice in the matter. And when you know better, you can do better. Awareness leads to inspired action, which leads to more resources, more knowledge, and opportunities for creating lasting change. Then you'll be ready to create the change you seek by doing the following: Focus on what you want with complete abandon. Don't get frustrated if it's not your life experience right now. Maintain focus on the desire for the sheer joy of wanting it. Speak to what you want. Using positive, toward language creates momentum. Simply say it the way you want it. Take action that aligns with your goals. Be at cause by paying attention to your moment-to-moment experience.   This is simple, but it isn't easy. My coaching programs help clients get to success more quickly. But can you do it on your own? Absolutely! I did. And you'll find many free resources here to support you on your journey. Own your journey. You've got this.    Thanks for listening!   To share your thoughts:   Leave a note in the comment section below Use the “I have a question” button Share this show on Twitter, Facebook, and LinkedIn  Find Brenda on Facebook, Instagram, Pinterest and YouTube Links from today's episode:   Soulful Business Revolution Program — open for enrollment now 21-Day NLP Abundance Breakthrough Mind Revolution episode The Life-Changing Power of Redefining Deserving Check out our free resources!

Are you deserving of all good things?   Deep down, do you FEEL deserving?   When I asked the folks in my Abundance Breakthrough that question, I got a mixed bag of answers. Some people said yes, others said sometimes, and some said, “I feel like I have to earn my deserving.”   Many of us grew up with ideas from religion or household rules or other life philosophies about deserving being a prerequisite to having good things, so it's understandable that the idea of deserving is deeply ingrained in many of us. Deserving presupposes that we have to achieve, do, or prove something to be worthy of having what we want.     Here's my next question: Who decides what or how much you deserve?   Here are some sobering things I've observed about the concept of deserving: Deserving assumes we have to do something to have good things. And if you don't do those things, then you don't deserve the good things you want. If we've done “good,” then we might feel entitled to those good things — like somebody owes us something. Then entitlement puts us at effect because we're expecting people or situations outside of ourselves to fulfill a desire. A feeling of deservingness can lead to inaction. If we feel like we're already deserving, it can lead to an I-should-already-have-it attitude and a failure to take action toward what we want.  The concept of deserving can result in justification for bad behavior. “I deserve this, so I'm going to just take it.” Deserving can lead to self-sabotage. “I've been good lately, so I'm going to cheat on my diet today. I deserve this.”   What if instead of working to be deserving you believed that:    You don't “deserve” abundance in the same way you don't “deserve” scarcity.   You don't “deserve” good health in the same way you don't “deserve” disease.   You don't “deserve” love in the same way you don't “deserve” pain.   You don't “deserve” success in the same way you don't “deserve” failure.   Think of how your focus would shift and how you would use your time and energy.    I help my clients unlink the concept of deserving from anything they want to achieve all the time because that narrative is outdated and irrelevant. We would be better served by focusing more on congruence and alignment with the abundance and worthiness inherent within each of us.    Thanks for listening!   To share your thoughts:   Leave a note in the comment section below Use the “I have a question” button Share this show on Twitter, Facebook, and LinkedIn  Find Brenda on Facebook, Instagram, Pinterest and YouTube Links from today's episode:   21-Day NLP Abundance Breakthrough Check out our free resource for rewriting limiting beliefs   To help out the show:   Leave a positive review on iTunes.

According to the principles of NLP, you're living two realities — your internal reality and the external reality. And your external reality is going to align with your internal reality. This is why you've heard me say if you want to know how you're doing on the inside, look at what's happening in your environment.    My clients are “getting” this, and they know to look inward when they don't like what's happening in their environment.   Case in point — one of my clients is in an industry that requires her to make telephone sales calls. She had been given multiple verbal yeses from potential clients, but these prospects hadn't signed on the bottom line. So she had verbal agreements but nothing concrete.   Upon reflection, she had a lightbulb moment. Her prospects were not following through with their verbal commitments in the same way that she was not following through with making her sales calls.   Boom!   This is how it happens. What's happening internally will be reflected in your environment.   Remember that the unconscious mind is highly moral. It will be faithful to the morality it's been taught. And I would bet that most of us came from upbringings where we were expected to honor our commitments. And if we didn't, there may have been some sort of punishment.    If that's the case for you, your unconscious mind can “discipline” you when you fail to meet your commitments or honor your decisions. “Discipline” can show up in a myriad of ways. And if you're paying attention, you can find the connections and make corrections. Remember that your unconscious mind's job is to get you back on track as defined by what it knows to be true.    And when you honor your decisions by taking action… You create the container for that action. It may be awkward and uncomfortable at first when you haven't done it consistently. But the more you do it, the more your container,  the more comfortable you'll be with the change.  Because perception is projection, the people in your space will honor your decisions too. And sometimes, you'll see them begin to honor their commitments too.   One of my clients likens this process to a phoenix rising. Honoring your decisions and commitments builds momentum and strength and the internal conviction that “I keep my commitments.” Before long, you'll have an attitude of “What else can I do? What's next?”          Thanks for listening!   To share your thoughts:   Leave a note in the comment section below Use the “I have a question” button Share this show on Twitter, Facebook, and LinkedIn  Find Brenda on Facebook, Instagram, Pinterest and YouTube Links from today's episode:   21-day NLP Abundance Breakthrough   To help out the show:   Leave a positive review on iTunes.

Evolving, growing, transforming — this is what the people in my space want (and they're doing it!) Change is beautiful and thrilling, and it comes with some challenges.   When you're ready to create change, your unconscious mind will begin to show you all the ways that what you're currently doing doesn't work. And let me tell you, that can feel frustrating. But it's just your unconscious mind confirming for you that growth is in order. While uncomfortable, this is just part of the growth process. So it's probably a good idea to expect and embrace it. It means that your unconscious mind is getting on board — which is great news!   This discomfort is what can propel you to take action in the direction of what you want. The first step can be especially difficult because your nervous system is learning and evolving to accommodate the growth you're seeking.    This is why taking those first steps can be painfully uncomfortable.   I've made two big changes in my career, and both times my new choices were uncomfortable until I learned the way around this expanded version of me. Recording and publishing my first podcast was so scary! But after doing it a few times, it was no big deal. And now I record and release episodes with speed. No sweat. When I decided to get more visible and start creating videos on Instagram — yikes! I was so nervous! Now that I've done it, though, I'm becoming more comfortable. I feel as if my brain is expanding and supporting me, and I'm even having fun with it.   What changed? Two things.  I took (external) action.  I had (internal) growth.    Our nervous systems have a tremendous ability to change when things in our environment begin to change. But in order for change to occur, we must do some things differently. Our  internal growth is fueled the action we take during times of change. And evolution of our neurological container (the nervous system) can and does compel us to action. In other words, action, growth, and evolution go hand in hand.   To be successful in making changes in business: Don't compare yourself to the outliers in your industry. You shouldn't expect the same results as someone who has been working at their business for years or has a massive email list when you're a few months in. Model them, sure. But don't compare.  Learn to sell by listening and using language effectively. (This is where the NLP Selling Series comes in!) Become more visible to grow your business — share content regularly, show your face on social media, try out video. Don't worry; people are not nearly as interested in what you do or look like as you are.  Persevere. Keep going. Take the next step. As you do, your nervous system will evolve to support you. Honor your vision. By giving it energy By learning new things By getting better each day   Change is indeed hard. And you might feel like it's not the right time because you've never done this before. I've got to break it to you… There's no such thing as a right time when your brain hasn't done it before. Embrace the discomfort to embrace the growth. You and your vision are worth it! And I'm here to support you on your journey. Let's do this!     Thanks for listening!   To share your thoughts:   Leave a note in the comment section below Use the “I have a question” button Share this show on Twitter, Facebook, and LinkedIn  Find Brenda on Facebook, Instagram, Pinterest and YouTube Links from today's episode:   21-day NLP Abundance Breakthrough   To help out the show:   Leave a positive review on iTunes.

People are social creatures, and we organize ourselves into cultures, societies, governments, groups. And here's the thing about these groups — most people here are living in a self-sacrificial environment. At an unconscious level, we're taught that the individual is subservient to the group, and the group is more important than the individual.   Is it any wonder that most of us have a hard time embracing our desires and dreams when we've been conditioned to feel guilty and selfish if we expend too much energy going after what we want?   In today's episode, we scratch the surface of Clare Graves' Values work. Clare Graves' work is less about individual values and more about thinking systems. The foundational values level systems are rooted in self-sacrifice or aggressive, shoot-myself-in-the-foot type of self-expression.    It's not until Values Level (VL) 5 (there are at least 8 values levels) that we get into expressive values with win-win scenarios. It's a level where individualistic, “selfish” behavior isn't viewed as being at odds with the group's prosperity. This is huge! Especially for entrepreneurs, coaches, and commissioned salespeople.     It's my goal to help all of my entrepreneurial clients and students transition into a solid VL5. Here you can begin to really live — guilt-free — from a place of abundance, of recognizing that it won't take anything away from anyone else. And the nature of VL5 allows for more curiosity which usually leads to more introspective work and deeper spiritual connections.   Is Values Level 5 all there is? Hardly. But according to Clare Grave's model, we can't fully evolve to more complex levels until we've actualized the previous ones. Transitioning out of the sacrificial levels and firmly into a more resourcefully expressive level is key to your personal and financial evolution.    Yep, Values Levels play an unconscious role in your money story. The story creates internal systems and environments that affect your decision-making.    And you can interrupt unhelpful stories by… Remembering that it's just a story Interrupting the story with reject-delete and something that makes you laugh Imagining the power that once belonged to the story is coming back to you, where it belongs Taking action that aligns with what you want   You are the author of your money story. If the story you're currently running isn't serving you, change it.    To learn more about how to do this, join our upcoming 21-day NLP abundance breakthrough. It's free, and it's powerful. Make your money story one that you want to live.      Thanks for listening!   To share your thoughts:   Leave a note in the comment section below Use the “I have a question” button Share this show on Twitter, Facebook, and LinkedIn  Find Brenda on Facebook, Instagram, Pinterest and YouTube Links from today's episode:   21-day free NLP abundance breakthrough, starting October 6   To help out the show:   Leave a positive review on iTunes.

There's no such thing as small changes. All change is BIG.    Some changes might seem small, but when you shift to something outside of your usual patterns or take a path that diverges from your typical choices, that's no small feat. Continue to make small, incremental changes, and you can dramatically change your life's trajectory.    But change is scary because getting out of the comfort zone is uncomfortable.    I always tell my clients that intentional change is optional. You have a right to stay in what's familiar. You're entitled to your away-froms, negative thinking, and limiting beliefs. You can continue to do the same thing and hope that something will change. You can stay right where you are and try to make the most of it.    But the reality is that the comfort zone eventually reveals a certain discomfort. The comfort zone is supposed to be comfortable, but it's also boring and predictable, and it  becomes increasingly unsatisfying.    Why? Because human beings are meant to grow and evolve.    You were meant for change.    “But, Brenda, you already said change is hard and scary.”    Yes, it is. And avoiding change comes with its own baggage. Whether you choose to avoid change or choose to  grow and evolve, there will be discomfort.    There will be discomfort in trying new things and taking chances. And there will be discomfort in staying in the same place. And the choice is yours.    We can learn to reframe the fear of getting outside the comfort zone because there is seldom any real danger involved. The safety that we feel in the comfort zone is usually nothing more than emotional safety. And years of inaction or years of doing the same thing can blind us to the other available options.     My invitation is for you to, first, realize that you have a choice. You can stay where you are, or you can choose to grow. And, second, I invite you to choose the path that helps you expand. Yes, there will be discomfort in the growth, but there will be benefits and newness on the other side of that growth.

To get what we want in life, we need to balance thinking and doing, and connecting emotionally and spiritually with what we want. A lot of the work I do with my clients is about creating the emotional and spiritual space for the things they want in their lives.    This emotional-spiritual collaboration lets us get what we want with a greater sense of ease, purpose, and fun.   The problem is that our internal resources go largely untapped. We simply haven't been trained to cultivate and use them. It's like you have a sports car sitting in the garage, but you don't even know it's there. And all the while, you're sweating on a bicycle around town when you could be driving your sports car.   We have this fantastic, powerful resource inside us, so how can we tap into it?    Often we see things we want and feel a pang inside. Perhaps it feels like jealousy or lack. The next time you feel triggered by seeing something you want, try this:   Step one — Find a sense of trust inside that you have the resources, access to them, and the power to use them to get what you want. You can say, "I use my power to access the resources to create this thing I want."   Step two — Say or write, “I access those resources and use them to achieve what I want.”   Step three — Say or write, “I  assess my outcomes and make adjustments as needed.”   Step four — Say or write, “I trust the process until I reach the desired results.”   Write these steps in a favorite notebook, print them out or take a screenshot. And when you feel triggered by something you want that's not currently in your life experience, go through these steps. With time and repetition, your unconscious mind will tap into your available resources and make way for your desires.    Run this mental strategy with emotions attached. Let your emotions fuel and propel your desires because — remember — emotions are the language of the unconscious mind. Imagine that you're living your desired outcome now. That will help your unconscious mind get on board.   By tapping into your internal resources, you'll see results quickly.

Over the last week, a theme was running through the people in my space — one of frustration. Many clients and students felt that they were doing all the right things but they weren't getting the outcomes they wanted. It was happening in their businesses, sales, and relationships. By the end of the week, I had to use NLP to release frustration for myself!   If you can subscribe to the NLP idea that you are the sum total of your conscious and unconscious choices and can believe that you can train your unconscious mind, then I've got good news and bad news for you. The bad news: You're responsible for your life experience. The good news: You're responsible for your life experience. And you can shape that life experience by working with your conscious and unconscious minds.    If you feel like you're doing everything you can but the results aren't to your liking, here are some things to consider…   Are you going deep to uncover dominant limiting beliefs? Working on surface-level things can only get you so far. If you feel like you're missing the “abundance gene,” that often means your focus is on lack. Do you have a deep sense of trust that things will work out for you? Do you believe the universe has your back? Do your thoughts, emotions, beliefs, expectations, and behaviors align with the outcomes you seek? Maybe one or two areas are off. Focus on aligning mentally, emotionally, and energetically with your goals. Are you doing mindset work consistently? It's easy to stop when you begin to feel better. The key is to keep doing internal work until feeling good and positive outcomes are the norm. And then keep going to make it even better. Are you doing what you've always done, thinking what you've always thought and expecting things to change? For things to change, your thoughts and actions must align with what you want.    Negative experiences are just letting you know that something like thoughts, beliefs, or emotions are out of balance. And it's easy to get derailed by what's going on in our environments. This is where staying vigilant and consistent with internal work pays off.    The quality of your internal filters is revealed in how you're feeling right now. So, if you feel like you're doing everything you know to do but aren't living the life you crave, perhaps this is an ideal opportunity to make that inward turn to align your thinking, beliefs and expectations with your desired outcomes.    I share this with a sense of compassion because, hey, I've been there. I aim to inspire and empower you by asking, “And now, what are you going to do about it?”  Thanks for listening!   To share your thoughts:   Leave a note in the comment section below Use the “I have a question” button Share this show on Twitter, Facebook, and LinkedIn  Find Brenda on Facebook, Instagram, Pinterest and YouTube Links from today's episode:   Mind Revolution episode Managing Negative Emotions Effectively   To help out the show:   Leave a positive review on iTunes.

There's a powerful tool in NLP called the negotiation model. The idea — it's easier to reach an agreement the more ambiguous the concept up for debate is - think of something like “dinner”, chances are everyone in your family can agree that having dinner is a good thing. . Get more specific about what's for dinner, and it's harder to reach a consensus.   The goal of the negotiation model is to reach agreement with as much specificity as possible. When there's disagreement, the model says to scale back to something a little more ambiguous until you reach agreement.    In today's episode, we focus on using the negotiation model to reach agreement between your conscious and unconscious minds.    Goals and plans originate in the conscious mind, but it's the conscious and unconscious minds working together that bring those plans to fruition. If you're not living your conscious goals and dreams, your unconscious mind isn't completely on board. And the way you know is that the unconscious mind, by need, will express itself in your environment, circumstances, and events. So, it's always telling you what your current agreements are.   Your life experience is your unconscious mind showing you how you're doing on the inside.   The million-dollar question is, how can we get the unconscious mind to embrace conscious goals, plans, and desires?   Use the negotiation model. Here's how…   Remember that logic and reason is in the domain of the conscious mind, and the unconscious mind communicates through emotions, symbols, metaphors, and stories.   If making specific plans leaves you feeling anxious and uneasy, your unconscious mind is resistant to those plans at that level of specificity. To gain agreement, shift to more ambiguity.    Here's how…   Ask, “What's the achievement of my goal going to do for me?” Sit with that for a while, and if it feels too far-fetched, go to another level of ambiguity by asking another question, “What would the achievement of my goal make me feel?”    Your work is to stay in the good-feeling space long enough to go back to more specificity and again ask “What's the achievement of my goal going to do for me?”. You then stay in specificity for as long as it feels good, and go up to ambiguity to feel better, and so on. Before you know it opportunities and resources will make an entrance and achieving your goals will follow.    And this, my friend, is the work you've heard me talk about so many times. This is it. It's getting the unconscious and conscious minds into agreement through focus and visualization. Do this three times a day for 10 minutes at a time, and your life will change.    It's not easy. One client calls it reframe hell because it takes conscious effort and focus. But it's powerful and effective. And with your unconscious mind on board, you can truly achieve what you consciously want.

Recently, I surveyed 40 people, and every one of them cringed when we talked about sales and money.   These are people who are interested in growing a business — why would they have such a reaction? Business owners need sales to make money and money makes a business a business.   NLP teaches that the unconscious mind is “a highly moral being,” meaning it upholds beliefs. And the morality your unconscious mind works so hard to uphold is the one that you've taught it through your beliefs. The problem is that many of us have deeply rooted, limiting beliefs like…   “Money is hard to come by.” “I never have enough.”  “Selling feels icky.”   And your unconscious mind is doing the work to uphold those beliefs and giving you the real-life manifestation of them in your world. The result is that you're living the essence of your beliefs. If your beliefs are positive and lead to you having what you want, then that's fantastic. If they don't, it's time to get to work and teach your unconscious mind what you want instead.    In business, things can get sticky because your unconscious mind has also adopted some ideas about selling.   “Salespeople are sleazy.” “Salespeople are pushy.” “Selling is greedy.”   To effectively sell and grow your business, you've got to get your unconscious mind on board with an improved morality (mindset) about selling.    Here are 3 powerful ways to start making that shift:   Learn to sell with congruence, integrity, and ecology — meaning it's good for you, good for the other person, and good for others impacted by the transaction. Practice selling. Find someone you trust and practice role-playing. I know this can feel uncomfortable, but the more you practice, the more your unconscious mind will get on board. Remember, the unconscious mind loves repetition.   Allow yourself to be on the receiving end of sales conversations. A good salesperson can be sold to. This might seem counterintuitive. Don't they know the tricks of the trade? Sure, but more importantly, a good salesperson is open and understands win-wins.   In today's episode, you'll hear about the time I wanted to buy a bottle of fancy olive oil and walked out with four bottles of different types of oils and vinegar. The salesperson sold me on them. Was I a sucker? Hardly! My family gobbled up the salad I made for them. I won big, just like the store owner. Sure, I didn't walk into the store intending to purchase four bottles, but I was open. And in the end, I made a fabulous choice for myself and my family. And, of course, the seller was happy too. We all won.     Thanks for listening!   To share your thoughts:   Leave a note in the comment section below Use the “I have a question” button Share this show on Twitter, Facebook, and LinkedIn  Find Brenda on Facebook, Instagram, Pinterest and YouTube Links from today's episode:   The episode on Imposter Syndrome   To help out the show: Leave a positive review on iTunes.

Welcome to The Storied Recipe Halloween Episode! Halloween seemed like a holiday that The Storied Recipe podcast simply had to cover. It's a holiday that contributed so many of our most vivid childhood memories and many were centered on food. After all, the crowning event of the holiday is walking about and begging for food! So, I put out an open call for Halloween Storied Recipes. I received responses from some of the most unexpected guests and the interviews went in three different directions. Here's a little about each guest and what they covered. Listen to Amie, Beverly, and Brenda Now Amie's Caramel Popcorn Balls: We begin with Amie's “wisp of a memory” of making caramel balls with her parents in their 70's kitchen. I chose to start with Amie because she really distilled Halloween down to one word: “Welcome”. You'll agree there's no better way to begin a show about food than with Welcome! She also introduced me to the phrase "the joy and labor of cooking" which I found to be so profoundly beautiful and accurate. Isn't it true that cooking is both? Get the Caramel Popcorn Ball Recipe here! Beverly's Gory Decapitated Meatloaf Zombie Beverly responded to my request for Halloween storied recipes with images of gruesome, edible sculptures that she created for Halloween last year. I was impressed with the detail and artistry in her sculpture and intrigued by her bio, which said: "Plant based food photographer, Filipino, Architect, Environmentalis"t. Even though Beverly didn't have a recipe to share, I was interested to hear more about each part of her bio and I know you will be too. My interview with Beverly is a little over 13 minutes. Beverly is an incredibly talented artist that you can find on Instagram under two different accounts - one just couldn't hold her ambitions! ;-) Find more of Beverly's food photography and musings at https://www.instagram.com/beverlyamandag/ Alternatively,  you can see the handmade journals that she makes from unique textiles and curios on this account here: https://www.instagram.com/heartamandag/ Some of Beverly's work is featured here below. First is the decapitated meatloaf zombie head. Next you'll see several of the larger-than-life carvings she made for debutante balls - Venetian masks and a Little Red Riding Hood haunted forest scene. Finally, she shared several other styrofoam sculptures. I LOVE the second set of images as they depict Beverly's process in creating these. Brenda's Southern Harvest Recipes Candied Bacon, Pimento Cheese Brenda befriended me on Instagram several months ago and offered to share her recipe for an apple-shaped cheese ball, which would be perfect for a harvest party. Now, a cheese ball wasn't the most exciting recipe I could fathom, but I find Brenda so fun, knowledgeable, and entertaining, I wasn't going to pass up an opportunity to talk with her. Sure enough, she had me laughing in 30 seconds, and I walked away from the interview with two additional recipes I just had to try! Find Brenda's Southern Pimento Cheese Recipe here or on her blog!
