Podcasts about quotes fear

You forget Love and experience fear on account of the body.  The body IS fear.  Fear is having a body-- thinking about it, shielding it, having a vested interest in its survival. Remembering Love, you don't ignore the body, you just feel and know Love where the body is seen, where it is experienced.  You experience the body as Love.  You know only Love is there and that ends your belief in the body (as separate from God), and its fear, and its world.   That's the real meaning of ‘the end of the world.' Only God is, and for now, it is appearing as that body reading this message. In today's episode, in response to a listener's question, I summarize some of my favorite methods for "replacing fear with Love". Also check out this episode (https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/go-o-d-mornings-with-curlynikki/id1570144628  ) for another, more tactile practice to instantaneously become aware of Love, even while fear is visiting.

It's sickness, suffering and confusion that comes and goes. Many people mistakenly think peace and happiness comes and goes. They have a brief experience of peace or joy and then they think' they lost it'.  Happiness and peace is your permanent nature. It never changes. It does not fade or 'go away'.  What 'goes away' is your attention on your true nature and when you do that, other things arise, like sickness, doubt, worry, fear, suffering, anger, overwhelm.  -Lisa Natoli via IG @lisanatoli Meditations inspired by A Course in Miracles

For most people, it can take months or even years to close their first deal as real estate agents, and the majority don't end up lasting long in this highly competitive business. Miranda Ferreira, however, took things off from very early thanks to her unique skills, her ability to connect with people, and her incredible work ethic.   While holding her license since 2018, Miranda became an active full-time realtor through a serendipitous chain of events in the early months of 2020. She was able to navigate the Covid pandemic with three young children to become the local Century 21 office's "Rookie of the Year". This strong start catapulted her to Top Producer for Amelia Island Nassau County, and Emerald Producer for Century 21 the following year. She is most proud of the "Top Service Award" in her second year and strives to keep these streaks going well into the next market swing. Communication is key, Ferreira states, "because it's hard to make a decision when you don't know all the facts". Miranda and her team at Century 21 Miller Elite work hard to ensure problems are found early (when they are still small) in order to limit the stress for clients.   In this episode of the Real Estate Excellence podcast, Miranda Ferreira will teach you how she was able to leverage her skills, connections, and tools to succeed in real estate from the very start of her real estate career.      [00:00 - 07:33] From Growing Up on a Sugar Cane Farm to Closing 90 Real Estate Transactions • Miranda Ferreira is a real estate agent in the Fernandina Beach, Fernandina, and Milia Island area. • She has done nearly 90 transactions in two and a half years. • She left her doctorate in physical therapy for real estate. • Grew up on a sugarcane farm in nowhere Podunk, Louisiana. • Graduated with 53 students from high school. • Her undergrad degree was in nutrition. • She originally wanted to be a chef but her parents said no due to a lack of certainty in that profession.   [07:33 - 14:45] Embracing the Unknown: A Journey from Physical Therapy to Real Estate • Miranda went to the University of St. Augustine for physical therapy. • She got a real estate license in 2018 but sat inactive until 2020. • She decided to pursue real estate after losing a contract in a nursing home due to Covid. • Had been considering getting into real estate every 3 months for 11 years prior. • Making the jump to real estate was scary, especially being the provider for her children.   [14:45 - 21:50] Overcoming Challenges and Making a Leap into Real Estate • Fear is a liar and one must take a step out of the comfort zone. • Miranda's coworkers, Bobby and Carol, were nothing but supportive throughout her journey. • She felt like her back was against the wall and had to make a leap of faith. • She did 4 deals in 20 months and had a decent 2021. • She used budgeting to help manage her expenses. • Her father-in-law was John T.

Fear underlies so many things that aren’t ideal in our lives. And I think a lot of these fears go back to your childhood.” [08:09] “Controlling is one of the core characteristics of codependency because once again we don’t want to be abandoned.

Start talking to yourself. Communicate through words. You can even say it out loud if you want to, “You know what Ande, I got it.

You have the opportunity to change it to something amazing.” [29:34]   Resources Mentioned Ande Anderson's Website PBT Podcasts The PBT Institute Membership CommunityThe Post Betrayal Syndrome quiz

As a licensed psychotherapist, Lucia DiVieste Severtson was crippled by fear and was able to diagnose herself with OCD.  Lucia sought out treatment to help her overcome her struggle.  Through exposure therapy, she began the journey of learning how to walk with and through fear.  Surrendering to treatment, she experienced a healing process that she wanted to pass on to other women.  This process coupled with the pandemic motivated Lucia’s founding of Be Brave Psychotherapy and Empowerment Coaching for Women, LLC in Denver, CO in April of 2020.     Drawing from her personal experiences and expertise as a psychotherapist with a background in acting and dance/movement therapy, Lucia assists women in moving through fear and standing up against their own personal giants.  Through her program women learn to embody their most authentic and expanded version of themselves and step into authentic leadership. Lucia helps women break patterns of mind, body and voice through a combination of traditional psychotherapy techniques combined with dance/movement and drama therapy.    What You Will Hear in This Episode:  Lucia’s lifelong battle with OCD. Diagnosing OCD and exposure therapy. Debilitating fear Deciding to dedicate her existing psychotherapy practice to women who suffer with anxiety and depression.

Many people seem familiar with the notion of having a fear of failure, but what about the fear of success? This fear has been found to be strongest in women who are highly motivated to succeed, and yet many of us don’t even realize we have it. This is precisely why it is the topic of today’s episode. We’ll begin by looking at imagining ‘big ass’ goals for yourself, and then I’ll introduce you to Matina Horner and the origins of this concept of fear of failure. We’ll review some of the reasons and ways that we experience this fear, and I’ll share some strategies to help you manage it. Recognizing fear of success and taking steps to address it will go a long way in keeping it from holding you back from achieving the success you have defined for yourself.

Do you notice fear interfering with your relationships and wellbeing? Today, I'm interviewing Dr. Jody Carrington about how connecting with those around you, and improving your relationships with others, can improve the relationship you have with yourself. If you are able to hold space within yourself to be empathetic towards others, it becomes much easier to be empathetic towards your own fears.  She talks about...- Aligning yourself with the things that you are passionate about. [4:15]- Recognizing your fears and staying in your space bravely. [6:41]- Searching for what brings you joy and gratitude. [13:34]- Strengthening the bonds you have with your communities. [14:18]- Being truthful to yourself about what truly resonates with you, and what doesn't. [16:33]- Slowing down, allowing stillness in your life, and just “being”.

Plastic surgeons and their office staff are all too often too busy to remind patients of the aftermath of surgery and Michelle is the one who will ensure you have a positive experience.   Choosing Your Plastic Surgeon   Choosing a plastic surgeon shouldn't be a simple or uneducated thing. When researching doctors, you should be aware of private practices versus retail chains and ensuring your doctor has the proper credentials and is board certified. You don't want a doctor who is just looking to get Instagram results. It's most important that you find a doctor whose specialty it is for your procedure and that you ask questions. Remember that each doctor has a specialty and you shouldn't go to the same one for different procedures.    Blue Collar Beauty: Confessions Of A Plastic Surgery Coach   Michelle decided that her story was one that should be shared and writing her book was a cathartic process. It is filled with lessons of self-love and self-care. Michelle shares her story of childhood and how athletics played a role in her life. Because of this, her book has encouraged more people, such as high school coaches to reach out to her and want her to speak. Michelle's biggest lesson in her book is that we need to move away from the images that are out there with models who are 00 and airbrushed because that isn't reality.

Ian Adkins is a business change consultant, with 13 years of experience. In this episode, we are going to talk about business change, and business culture. Ian's company, Futures by Design, has a huge client base around the world, and he's got an interesting system which will help us in managing change, understanding cultures, and understanding their impacts in our businesses. And he will discuss this system with us today. Ian shares with us how transitioned to his current career from serving in the army. He also talks about how his company, Futures by Design, is focused to bring people change, as well as behavioural change to businesses, both large and small. We tackled how people are the most complex, interesting, and fascinating part of the business. We also talked about the importance of employee engagement, as well as the importance of quality over quantity, when it comes to these engagements. In this episode, we discussed how important it is to have meaningful relationships within the organisation; relationships built on trust. Once you got that TRUST, real communication begins, and everything flows. We also talked about how culture is described as what people do when nobody is looking. Ian shares that what people do is behaviour, and the currency of change is behaviour, YET what people think and feel does not necessarily show in their behaviours. We also discussed how behaviour is something you can see, you can observe, you can record, you can measure, AND you can also CHANGE. The simple equation is CULTURE = BEHAVIOURS. Ian shares how important it is for the management to focus on their behaviours, focus on what they want their people to be doing, get the behaviours right, embed those in the company, and then allow everything else to align with it. Ian also discussed that there are two things that are pivotal or central to the success they’ve had. One of which is to be looking at long-term all the time -- look after all the people that you deal with because several years later, they may come back as a client. Secondly, to just be relentlessly positive and optimistic, however things go.   Lastly, Ian also shared with us his 5 rules of the organizational culture change framework. And they are: Actions First Let’s define the small number of behaviours or actions which everybody needs to carry out to create a culture. And just focus on a small number of key behaviours. Aim Higher Get people to focus on a course, on something that engages people. Authenticity Leads Humans are social animals, we operate in small teams, in little tribes, and what we do as soon as we join one, we absorb into it, but within that group there are one or two that is/are more influential than others, and they are the authentic informal leaders. If the management can identify these people, they can imprint the desired behaviour into everybody else.   Activism Delivers To create the change, we need to organize these authentic leaders into a movement of activists, we can turbo charge the change. Autonomy Wins This only happens the management can empower their people to make it happen.   Golden Nugget Round Question 1 – What would you tell your 25 Year Old Self? It’s all going to be fine.

  Let success surprise you, with Natasha Khazanov Give yourself a hug and other tips from a neuroscientist Her success came as a surprise. When Natasha made her decision to leave Russia to seek a better future for her son in the US, she was sure that she was sacrificing her own career for good. But her entrepreneurial journey was just about to begin.   From sacrifice to success What is the story of how you got on this path, what was your call to adventure? I left Russia because of the turmoil at that time. My motivation was to create a better life for my son. I was willing to sacrifice my career to make it happen for Andrew. I didn’t think I would be successful professionally. I was hired at UCSF, one of the best schools in Medicine. The department needed me to be a therapist. I didn’t like it. It was too ambiguous. Too fuzzy. Twenty-six years down the road I know that this is my calling – helping people to be happy and more resilient. In my wildest dreams honestly I could not imagine that I could be teaching at UCSF, that I could testify in the Supreme Court, that I would have a thriving private practice in therapy. My assumption that was you need to speak good English. I wasn’t fluent. I surprised myself.   How parents influence our professional life So many limiting beliefs could have held you back, but you didn’t let that hold you back because you had this bigger desire at heart? I did have that. But I also had another tool. I downloaded the voice of my father. My dad was the ultimate incredibly effective parent. My dad parented me in a way that was intuitive. He didn’t know a lot about the science or the art of parenting. But he was wise and smart. The download from my early childhood was “you can do whatever you want. Whatever you put your mind to you will be successful, because you are competent. You can make mistakes and because you are competent you will be able to recover from you mistakes”. My mom was the opposite. She was very critical. Her downloads were “Who do you think you are?” I think this was my motivator to be a parenting coach and parenting expert. I realized that when you have these two sets of voices in your head, one of them is helpful and the other is hurtful. Overtime I was able to identify my mom’s voice as not very helpful and replace it with my dad’s voice.   Examining ourselves just enough What would you say to somebody who is thinking “I don’t think I have had an empowering voice my life”? Maybe both parents were critical, or a single parent who was always busy. What can this person do to help parent themselves right now. There are different ways to replace hurtful voices with helpful voices. It is never too late. We are never done. Even if our parents are very competent and good, still we develop unhelpful voices. This is the work of self-exploration. Socrates said, “The unexamined life is not worth living”. It is true, so we need to examine our lives. But a lot of times we live the over-examined lives. We are stuck in our heads. We examine our lives by being critical to ourselves and beating ourselves up for our failures. So my prescription to changing ourselves is living our lives that are examined just enough. That means paying attention to our feelings. Knowing where they showing up in our bodies. Feelings are very physical, so it is not about thinking. It’s about being present, and allowing feelings to show up.   Overcoming the fear of rejection When you started doing work on your own and developing your SMARTT method, what kinds of barriers came up for you? It was hard. When I opened my private practice, it was scary. It wasn’t as scary as it is now to launch my SMARTT Parenting because there is no guarantee that people will like it. Fear of rejection is the most visceral fear for all of us. The only way I was able to overcome my fears is being gentle, kind, and forgiving to myself. And using my SMARTT approach on myself. The same part of our brain lights up in fMRI when we experience social rejection as when we have physical pain. Sometimes it is easier to be in physical pain than be socially rejected.   Transformations My mom passed away recently. She was my critical parent. I had an amazingly beautiful experience with her before she died. I used my SMARTT tools to connect with her in a way that was kind, loving, forgiving, and pretty profound. My mom was not probably parented in the way that was stellar. My mom was educated and smart, she was a physician. But she was not emotionally intelligent. I saw the transformation in my mom at the end of her life and that was beautiful and amazing.   Facing our feelings to succeed Acknowledge, welcome all your feeling. No good or bad, right? A part of my upbringing was the notion that you were allowed to have one feeling at a time. If you were angry, go in your room and clear your anger. Feelings show up and they are messy. Acknowledge you may be fearful or anxious. Then you can surround your feeling with feelings of compassion to yourself, forgiveness. Being gentle. You can even hug yourself. When your body feels safe, your brain works better. You are more creative, more perceptive.   Our favorite tips from Natasha: Don’t let language or cultural barriers get in the way of success. Welcome the hurtful and helpful voices from childhood. To work through the critical voice, use movement and breathing. To overcome fear, be gentle, kind, and forgiving to yourself. Use the SMARTT tools to connect with children and with parents Avoid over-examining or under-examining your life. Be present, pay attention to your feelings and how they show up in your body. Usher in and welcome all feelings. To feel safe and be more productive, give yourself a hug.   Resources and Links: Visit her parenting website: www.smarttcoaching.com Visit her therapy website: www.natashakhazanov.com Follow her on Facebook (SMARTT Parenting page and SMARTT Mamas group)   Quotes “Fear of rejection is, in my opinion, the number one reason why people don’t take risks. And when we don’t take risks we are not going to be successful.” “All my feelings, comfortable or uncomfortable, are good feelings. In my book, there is no such thing as negative feelings. All of them are signals.”   Did you enjoy the show? Let us know your biggest takeaways in the comments.
