Powerback 162: Calling all people pleasers Jun 01, 2023

Show notes

Do you want to make everyone in your life happy? Or do YOU want to be happy and successful? Because hard and fast truth, my friend, you can't have both.
One of the areas that I see trips up, holds back and is constantly pulling and tugging at people as they are living their life and growing their businesses is the need to take care of everyone else first.
So, if you either identify as a people pleaser or know that you have people-pleasing tendencies and are wondering, how the fuck do I break this? Then today’s Powerback® episode is just for you.
It is about reclaiming yourself, so instead of putting yourself last, we are prioritizing who you are and what you need first.
We’ll go through:

The difference between helping and people-pleasing
How people-pleasing affects you and your business
A few actionable ways to break out of the people-pleasing cycle

162: Start to Believe in Yourself with Vanja Beric May 30, 2023

Show notes

Your mind is a beautifully intricate place. It’s where your ideas, inspiration, and ambition come together to do great things. It’s also the space where all the thoughts, feelings, and expectations you’ve picked up along the way like gathering to have a board meeting about why you suck and why you can’t do something, all while creating the worst-case-possible scenario.
Today, we’re talking with Vanja Beric, a Counselor from Australia, about shifting limiting beliefs so you feel empowered to make decisions with confidence and gain the freedom to be yourself.
In this episode, you’ll learn:

The life-changing power of self-awareness and knowledge
Steps to move forward and accept your mistakes
How to push out of your comfort zone to build a new path
How to start releasing control and building your inner strength
Stop self-sabotaging and break out of the cycle
Dealing with your feelings and healing your wounds is necessary for long-lasting happiness
This is not about perfection, give yourself permission

Coming from a war-torn country as a refugee to Australia at 11 years old, she has experienced hardship, abuse and had very limiting beliefs. She is now a counselor who helps others build on their own self-belief. She is an entrepreneur who wants to empower women so that no matter what your past is you get to choose your future. Her philosophy is understating yourself and healing your wounds will give you deep freedom, love, and abundance you never knew possible. Her mission is to help women find belief in themselves, by healing their past and discovering who they are.

Powerback 161: Are you stuck in this mental cycle? May 25, 2023

Show notes

Do you get caught in this cycle?
After working with 1000s of entrepreneurs over the last 15 and a half years I have been able to pinpoint a very specific mental cycle that we tend to get caught in. This is the cycle that keeps you stuck. This is the cycle that creates frustration. This is the cycle where you talk yourself out of shit.
The good news is I've also developed a method to help you shift out of this cycle to get back into alignment and break away from the crap that's keeping you stuck.
So, in this week's Powerback® episode, I’m going to walk you through how to do that so that you can take your Powerback® and move forward to start doing what you are here to do.
You’ll learn:

What The Mental Cycle looks and feels like
Break out of the Cycle with the Powerback® process
The critical importance of self-awareness
What The Aligned Cycle looks and feels like

Powerback 160: Embracing Messy Action May 18, 2023

Show notes

One of the things that stops female entrepreneurs the most is the need to have it all figured out. But here’s the thing, my friend, that voice in your head that’s telling you that is fucking with you and it's keeping you stuck when you don’t have to be.
I'm here to tell you that one of the most liberating things that you can do is give yourself permission to move forward without having all the answers, without having all the details, without needing to know every single piece of every single step of your vision, of your dreams, and of your goal.
So, in today’s Powerback® episode, I'm going to empower the shiznit out of you by showing you how messy action can actually be the thing that not only sets you free physically and mentally but helps you start to achieve the goals that keep ruminating in your brain.
We’ll walk through:

What messy action is all about
The life-changing benefits of figuring it out along the way
How I’m taking messy action in my own business
Tackling the fear of messy action with the Powerback® Process

Powerback 159: Is your subconscious being a turd? May 11, 2023

Show notes

We all have that inner dialogue, right? That voice, that feeling that likes to tell us things that aren't actually true. But they sure as fuck feel true, don't they? Well, that is because, my friend, you are thinking from your subconscious.
Your subconscious mind is the thing that's going to continue to help you and move you forward OR it's going to be the thing that keeps you in the cycle of feeling stuck, feeling underwhelmed, and not getting the things that you truly want.
So, in this week's Powerback® episode, I’m going to give you the tools you need to shift out of the unconscious and back into the conscious mind when your subconscious is being a turd, so you can take your Powerback® and start making aligned decisions and taking aligned action.
You'll learn:

What the subconscious mind is
How the subconscious mind operates
The Powerback® Process

Powerback 158: Do you know what you want? May 04, 2023

Show notes

When was the last time that you asked yourself, what do I actually want?
I would imagine that on a day-to-day you are in a routine, you have boxes to check, and you have expectations to fill. I would imagine a whole bunch of people need things from you. If you don't take action, you're not gonna be able to grow your business. Every single day there is stuff, and unless you get off that hamster wheel of doing, this cycle of perpetually making shit happen.
What ends up happening is that months or sometimes years go by and you sit and find yourself thinking, I don't even know what I really want. I have no idea what makes me happy anymore and I don't know what to do next.
The good news is that’s shiftable, and this week’s Powerback® episode is going to be your wake-up call so you can get back in touch with who you are and what you actually want in the first place.
We’re going to walk through:

Powerback® 158 Worksheet to reconnect with what you want
