Episode notes
In this episode, I dive into Antidote #6 from my book, "Inner Brilliance, Outer Shine" which is about offloading excess baggage. Key Topics Covered: I share personal stories from my coaching practice, highlighting how emotional baggage can hold us back in both our work and personal lives. I introduce you to Havening, a technique that has transformed not only my clients' lives but mine too. I explain the science behind Havening, how it was developed, and why it's my go-to tool for helping people release limiting beliefs and emotional pain in order to transform performance and personal lives. I also guide you through the process of identifying the root causes of recurring patterns and emotions, especially those that stem from childhood.
