Ep 207: From Trauma To Triumph Feb 23, 2022

Show notes

This is a really fascinating episode that demonstrates it does not matter where we came from because what really matters is how to choose to manage our thinking and our circumstances.

In this episode, I interview Priscilla, one of my current TCP students. As you’ll hear her say, she grew up in low-income housing and in an unpredictable world of chaos given her housing.

As a result of this, she learned at an early age to live in a constant state of anxiety and panic and she lives from catastrophic thinking.

As you’ll hear, she’s an ardent student of personal development, and she’s even been to some well-known programs, and though she learned a lot, she still had the debilitating past emotions and anxiety and trauma in her life.

Like many people, she had become so conditioned to the anxiety and catastrophic thinking that she had come to believe that “this is just the way life is.” Millions of people all around the world live constant states of anxiety, and hopefully, her story will be a beacon of hope and light to them. We don’t have to live in and with anxiety, most of us just don’t know any different.

Some huge takeaways from this episode are also that she “thought she knew it all” as she was going through my transformational coaching program, yet, even thinking this, she still had all the negative emotions and she quickly discovered that despite her foray into personal development for years, she never changed her subconscious context, hence, she kept repeating all the old debilitating thinking over and over again. This lead her to realize that working from what she thought she already knew was one of her biggest obstacles to getting the true transformation she wanted.

As well, she’ll reinforce how her life has gone from “work” to a life of revitalization and service, and she made this happen.

Transformational Takeaway: It does not matter what your past is or where you came from, what matters are your choices and your subconscious identity.

Ep 206: Some No BS LIVE Coaching On Instagram Feb 16, 2022

Show notes

Start Your Transformation Now

A few times a year I do LIVE coaching on Instagram. Candidly I think I could have done a better job on the last LIVE session but my team thought there were some nuggets in there that people could benefit from. So, I agreed to use the session as a podcast episode.

When I do NO BS coaching, it’s always a LIVE session and I cut right to the heart of the matter of what people are trying to work through.

In this episode, there were 5 “Hot Seats.”

Hot seat #1 was Patty, who was stuck on how to put herself out there with her new business venture. If you’re wanting to do something in life but you’re stuck or you’re in fear, then my conversation with Patty will resonate with you.

Hot seat #2 was Randy- Randy didn’t actually have a question, but everything happens for a reason and well, Randy shared that he has listened to every single episode of my podcast and it has transformed his life. I’m living my dharma and you’ve heard me say before, “If you don’t LOVE what you do, you’re wasting your life” and Randy was a great example of what happens when you make the choice to go all-in on what you love to do and what you’re on the planet to do.

Hot seat #3 was Christy. Christy, like so many others, has felt the effects of the past two years and she and I dialogue about how to navigate unpredictable times. This one is a biggie. Even if you feel you’ve been able to navigate the past two years and difficult times pretty well, make sure you pay special attention to this one if you’re looking for more inner peace.

Hot seat #4: If you’re the analytical type or if you’re wanting to value health over money or success, then my hot seat with Rafa will help you tremendously. Have you ever thought about the culture that you were brought up in and what it programmed you to believe? This one provided a lot of people with some powerful questions to start asking yourself.

And the last hot seat was with Tia who shared that she has been awakened after listening to my podcasts, especially episode #204 where I talked about what’s going on with the world. She asked how she can help more people. And she also asked a very powerful question at the end. A question that everyone can benefit from immensely.

I’ll be doing more episodes like this from time to time.

Enjoy

Ep 205: Seven Questions To Higher Wisdom Feb 09, 2022

Show notes

Start Your Transformation Now

There’s a phrase uttered by Richard Bandler, one of the co-founders of NLP, NeuroLinguinstic Programming.

That phrase is: “The quality of your life is dependent upon the quality of questions you ask yourself.”

So, in this episode, I have seven questions for you and all of these have been asked to me by my mentor, don Xavier. Actually, I looked at old notes, I wrote these questions down in 2002.

If you’re like me you’re always looking for growth, evolvement, and transformation in life and at the least hopefully, these questions can help you with some illumination.

Also, as simple as these may seem, you will find a deeper explanation inside this week’s podcast episode.

The seven questions are:

[3:17] When are your two biggest fears valid?
[9:25] Do you manage yourself with your body?
[17:29] Do you like living in the past?
[24:22] Do you use your left brain or your right brain more to figure out life?
[31:59] How often do you use your excuses as reasons?
[37:48] Do you fall by your own weight?
[40:40] Would you rather have a pleasurable or perturbed life?

All of these may sound like a simple snap answer, but when you look deeper, there is a great deal of introspection to be had with them.

Ep 204: What’s Going On In The World? Feb 02, 2022

Show notes

Start Your Transformation Now

I’m asked that question all the time, “Hey Jim, what’s going on in the world?”

At face value, how would I know any more than any other person on the planet who is not a behind-the-scenes power player?

However, I have heard a great deal from my brother-in-law, don Xavier.

He’s talked about this for years. Changes on the planet – human corruption, power plays, human ego, you know, the destructive side of human beings. And, magnetic pole shifts on the planet and the devastation humans are creating.

There are two things I want to address in this episode, the 6th mass potentially extinction coming to humanity. Yes, you read that right, and no, it’s not some Tom Clancy movie script. Even reputable scientists and organizations have placed humans well into the process of another global extinction.

The second thing is the control and manipulation on the planet, I touch less on this though it’s a HOT and controversial topic, but anyone with their eyes and mind open can see that many things happening on the planet “Don’t make sense.”

So, what is happening?

Listen and I’ll share some thoughts. Candidly, don Xavier has talked about this for decades with me and in very specific detail and I have never shared the details, and I’m not starting here, but I can share some general food for thought.

Why I don’t share what has been shared with me is because the masses don’t want to hear it. They want to hear what confirms their individual models of reality. Remember, “Most people don’t ask for the truth, they ask for what confirms their reality.

Some might like this episode, some may hate it. My ONLY agenda is to give you power and help you live a more spiritually aligned life, energetically.

Transformational Takeaway: We learn to live together as a species or the species dies together.

Ep 203: Go From Money Worries To Over $100,000 In Additional Income In Just One Year Jan 26, 2022

Show notes

Start Your Transformation Now

I’ve not done an interview with any of my past students in quite some time and I’m starting a short series again. This short series will assist many in understanding that any of us can change our lives quickly and live extraordinary lives when we make a few simple adjustments.

One of the biggest challenges most people have is money and abundance. The irony is that making money is really pretty easy and most people make it exceptionally challenging. I know it’s both hard and easy because I used to be one of those people who made it super hard and now I make it super easy and teach my transformational students to do the same.

In this episode, I’m visiting with Michele, one of my students. As you will hear, after going through my 14-week transformational coaching program she transformed her lifelong negative relationship with money. And, not only that, she went from a grade school teacher’s income to over $100,000 in just one year in her side business.

Yes, she kept her job as a teacher because she loves teaching and she also turned it into a side business that makes her over $100,000 per year and she’ll tell you in her own words – it was pretty easy.

As I have said, “Money is EASY to attract.” Yes, as you know, most of us make it hard. So, listen to Michele’s story and she’s going to share the secret that I have even shared here on my podcast. One that’s so simple that we often miss it.

This one secret has brought over $15,000,000 into my own life in just a few years. Seriously and honestly!

And, no pie-in-the-sky. No rah-rah, no BS! Attracting large sums of money is simply about working in the way that the universe works. As hokey as that sounds, that is the truth. Michele is proof. I am proof and 1000s of my students can tell you the same. Money is easy to attract.

Money comes from a simple formula. It’s so simple it’s hard to believe. Until you put the formula to the test in your own life!

Transformational Takeaway: Listen to this episode and discover how Michele easily started attracting over $100,000 per year in just one year in her “side business” and how you can use the same formula.

Ep 202: Just Be Who And What You Are Jan 19, 2022

Show notes

Start Your Transformation Now

Have you ever wondered why it’s so hard to be who and what you are in front of others?

What are you so afraid of?

Who are you so afraid of?

Right now I’m afraid that I’m going to be judged for my last two dangling participles but who cares. Grammar nitpickers are going to hate, right?

Candidly, it’s easy to be who you are but it’s the fear that you’re going to be judged that stops you. And, for many, that fear is debilitating.

As well, for those who do live their lives on their own terms and from their own values, they have essentially liberated themselves from the enslavement of others.

In this episode, I talk about something that happened to me nearly 30 years ago that set me free of the judgment of pleasing others, trying to be liked, and looking for approval from others.

When we get to that place in our lives…that is true freedom.

This episode is a very personal one and hopefully it can help others free themselves from the suffocation of trying to gain the love and approval of others.

Transformational Takeaway: Just Be

Ep 201: How to Make Anything And Everything In Your Life Better Jan 12, 2022

Show notes

Start Your Transformation Now

A few days ago I was thinking way back to 1988, my first year out of college. One August morning I woke up pawing at the sheets and throwing up. Little did I know I was having a panic/anxiety attack.

With no access to mental health care, I struggled with that for a year until I remembered back to some mental training I had a few years prior. Using that training I completely eliminated a life condition that debilities many people for years and for many, they take medications.

In this episode, I share how I stumbled onto self-hypnosis and I share all the many ways you can use it.

I know I talked about it in earlier episodes but this one is my own story and how I used self-hypnosis to regain function in my life.

Being a former hypnotist I have heard a bazillion times, “I don’t believe in hypnosis.” Candidly, this is an ignorant statement.

Hypnosis and the power of it have been endorsed by pretty much every credible medical, scientific, and psychological association and organization in the world.

Simply put, it’s the “power of the mind.”

No matter where you are in life: facing surgery, giving birth, anxiety, depression, fears, physical pain, PTSD, or even performance anxiety – sexual or otherwise, self-hypnosis CAN most likely assist you in healing and living the life you want!

Ep 200: Up Close And Personal With Jim Jan 05, 2022

Show notes

Start Your Transformation Now

This week I’m celebrating my 200th episode of the podcast and we’re doing something we’ve never done before.

I’m being interviewed by my good friend, Brandon Lucero, who is more like a brother to me than a friend. That being said, you’ll notice right off that the tone of this episode is completely different than my other episodes.

This episode is also very different because I’m getting real personal about a lot of things, including some of the questions that you, the listener, asked recently when I asked for you to submit your questions.

Here’s just a few things that we discuss:

[18:06] How I used to chase money and what I do now
[27:03] How people right now are trapped in consumerism
[39:41] How I met Don Xavier, my sister’s husband, the shaman
[49:08] What it’s like working with a shaman
[50:36] How I began teaching transformation
[1:04:01] Coming out and meeting my partner
[1:19:47] A terrifying experience in Peru

I hope you enjoy this special episode where I’m pulling back the curtain on many, many personal things.

And thank you for listening and making this 200th episode possible! When I started this podcast, I had no idea we’d have so many downloads and listeners. We can’t do in life what we want without the assistance of others. And when it comes to the podcast, we’ve had over 2 million downloads and because of you, the listener, I can do what I love to do and do my dharma, my spiritual service. Thank you for listening, and sharing, and downloading the podcast!

Ep 199: ENCORE Episode: How The Law Of Attraction Repels The Money And Abundance You Want Dec 29, 2021

Show notes

Start Your Transformation Now

You probably believe in the Law of Attraction, but if you’re like most people you’re struggling with money. And this is because you’re most likely using the Law of Attraction against you. If this is you, listen to this episode now because we’re about to change all that for you!

People who have money work from prosperity consciousness. They are engaging the Law of Attraction in a way that actually attracts money for them, instead of repelling money for them. When it comes to money, most people focus on not having it and they focus on lack. What you put out in thought is what you attract back, and most people engage in the Law of Attraction because they need money, and therefore are in fear and desperation, and that’s what they are vibrating and feeling and attracting back.

In this episode, you are going to learn how to manage your emotions which affect your frequency, what your prosperity consciousness is, how you feel about being rich, and separating your money from your work.

Transformational Takeaway: Wherever you have your attention, wherever you have your emotions, that’s what you attract. Use the Law of Attraction to attract money instead of repelling money. Focus on emotional abundance. I must be emotionally abundant if I want to attract financial abundance.

Ep 198: How Society Programs You To Be Unhappy, Broke, Overweight, Lonely And Sick! Dec 22, 2021

Show notes

Start Your Transformation Now

This is an episode that I’m truly passionate about. The fact that the mainstream world is indoctrinated into mediocre and powerless thinking has long bothered me.

The mainstream world keeps people unhappy, broke, overweight, lonely, and sick.

Many people find this statement shocking and if that’s the case they are most likely blind to what’s really happening in the world and to what is being done to them.

Being a former hypnotist people would often ask me, “Is it easy to get someone into hypnosis?” My answer was always, “No, that’s easy, it’s actually hard to get people out of hypnosis.”

Meaning, you, me, all of us have been indoctrinated and conditioned into our thinking, and most times that thinking is counterproductive and keeps us trapped. For millions around the world, it also keeps this sick, overweight, and just downright broke.

From the time we pop out of the womb the world “programs” us – TV, news, advertising, school, family, church, medicine…all of it teaches us what reality is and truth be realized, it’s all wrong. Or rather, a great deal of it is wrong and to a larger degree is incomplete.

Just one simple example. Health and wellness. The world, doctors, and advertising program us into thinking it’s hard to heal and even worse, that we’re going to get sick. This is not just a fact. The power of your mind is extraordinary and when you discover it and learn to use it then just about any life you want is available to you.

In this episode, I touch on and give examples of how we are kept down and unhappy when we follow the indoctrination given to us by the world around us.

Want a much better life? Learn to see outside all you have been mentally “fed” in your life.

Break free of all your indoctrination and the first place to start is the realization of it and how deeply it runs in our lives.

Transformational Takeaway: Be in this world, but not of this world.
