How do you ever get the ultimate life transformation that you've ever wanted to happen to you? You've tried before but nothing ever happened. How can you be sure it's a different story this time? Let me tell you that half of the goal is achieved by just saying yes to the program and the rest of the story happens when you dive in and commit to the process and have the faith that the other person you entrusted yourself can help you. The integrity that comes with being a hypnosis permanent weight loss coach is due to the fact that the tools used are proven by scientific studies made even relatable as the coach himself went through the same experience what her clients are subjected to. The reason why it makes perfect sense. Leslie M. Thornton is a permanent weight loss expert through hypnosis, a coach, a podcast host, an NLP practitioner, and a registered nurse. In this episode, Leslie shares her journey from being a nurse to a transformation coach particularly on hypnosis for permanent loss. Having been through a dramatic experience with weight loss and body issues herself, she has been committed to making an impactful influence in the lives of anyone who went through the same struggles that she had. She talks about how important it is for a coach to make an investment for herself by getting a mentor and committing to walking the talk. As she explained, it is not logical to be telling your clients things you yourself are not willing to do the same. You should step up to your game as your clients look up to you and have a lot of expectations from you.   With mindset work, there are lots of hesitation around this discipline. Questions like, what if it's not for me, what if it doesn't work, crop up. Fear is what is gripping us from stepping into the unknown that could possibly be a solution to what we've been seeking. Until you scare yourself to finally do it, only then will you be lifted of the burden. When you learn to trust yourself and not be uncomfortable around the food you use to dread before that's when you find freedom and you level up your self-confidence because, for all you know, you are not what your thoughts are. And believing in your truth is what truly matters. “Understanding the neuroscience and neuroplasticity and all the research that's been done and habit formation and all of that kind of stuff, it just allowed me to make sense of the entire thing and to keep the confidence up of knowing this actually works on a scientific level of making perfect sense.”  - Leslie Thornton What you will learn from this episode: 03:29 - How was it like to transition from nursing to coaching? 12:55 - Addressing reservations around mindset work 13:42 - “Understanding the neuroscience and neuroplasticity and all the research that's been done and habit formation and all of that kind of stuff just allowed me to make sense of the entire thing and to keep the confidence up of knowing this actually works on a scientific level and making perfect sense.” 17:20 - How do you become an effective coach? 19:24 - What you need to know about the importance of mentors in your life's transformation and in your business' success 21:12 - “The hardest part is making the decision of diving in and staying committed, and trusting that process every step of the way.

In this episode I chat with Leslie M. Thornton, transformational leader in the coaching & consciousness industry. Leslie and I met through our mastermind group online but we also met in person in Thailand recently where we were both hosting retreats. I absolutely love this conversation because we really dive deep into money stories, how much we've both invested in our growth and coaches, and what it means to truly live a life that WE want.   Leslie originally got into the world of personal growth and coaching through a self-hypnosis book where she learned to hypnotize herself. One morning after listening to her own hypnosis she said she literally woke up as a new person and never turned back.   Leslie is a female entrepreneur – a transformational leader in the coaching & consciousness industry. She's a Registered Nurse with professional certifications & training in coaching & cutting-edge subconscious mind modalities that allow for the lasting wild successes of the individuals and groups she professionally coaches. Leslie is also passionate about leading destination retreats internationally as well as domestically.   Aha Moments: How self-hypnosis changed Leslie's life dramatically Why money is such a sensitive subject and how both Leslie and I have invested in ourselves using credit cards which we NEVER thought we'd do The different ways to invest depending on your age and life stages If Leslie could go back and start her business from the beginning again, here's what she'd do differently The important question to ask yourself when determining what you TRULY want for yourself There's no shame in asking and receiving help How the Universe conspires to help you once you give yourself permission and say YES to yourself Why it's actually selfish NOT to follow your purpose Links: https://lesliemthornton.com/discover - 3 exercises to get clear on your next steps https://www.facebook.com/lthor001 - Leslie's Facebook ALI@PunchDrunkSoul.com - for my Scale with Soul Mastermind details
