🎉 Happy World Mental Health Day! 🎉

Let’s celebrate with a quick tapping session to reduce your stress and anxiety. Follow along for a simple, powerful technique to feel better in just 1 minute!

👉 Take a deep breath.

Connect to the physical sensation of stress in your body. Maybe it’s a tight belly, a tight throat, or pressure in your head. Got it? Now, let’s tap!

✨ Tap on the Same Points and Repeat after me:

Eyebrow: Releasing and letting go of all the stress, anxiety, resentment, anger, and fear.

Side of eye: Releasing and letting go of all the sadness, worries, hurt, and confusion.

Under eye: Releasing and letting go of the tension in my body, pressure in my head, heart, and belly.

Collarbone: Releasing and letting go of the self-defeating thoughts, self-loathing, and self-hatred.

🤲 Grab your wrist. Say “Peace.”

❤️ Hand on your heart. Take a deep breath.

🙂Hands on your face. Say “Safe. Calm. Peace.”

Feel better already? This takes just 1 minute, and you can do it anytime you feel stress. Rinse and repeat as needed, day or night.

You got this! 💪

Love Tapping? It is one of the modalities I use in The Microdose Diet protocol to rewire your brain and nervous system. https://themicrodosediet.com/

🎯 3 Reasons Your Coaching Isn't Working (and How to Fix It) 💥

Boss up and stop sabotaging your success! 💪 Here’s why your coaching might not be delivering results:

1️⃣ You’re Holding Back: Not being upfront about addictions, meds, or life obstacles? You’re only hurting your progress. Transparency is 🔑!

2️⃣ You're Not Showing Up: Canceling sessions, skipping homework? If you don’t commit, you can’t grow. It’s time to prioritize YOU!

3️⃣ You're Focused on the Gap: Obsessing over what’s missing instead of celebrating your wins? Shift your mindset from lack to GAIN.

💡 Pro tip: If you're hitting resistance, don’t give up. That’s actually a sign you’re on the right path! 🚀

Time to boss up and break through those barriers. Let's get it! 💥

🎯 Do You Really Need to Change Jobs? Or Is It Something Else?

Let’s say you’re miserable in your job or career right now. You’re thinking, “I need to get out of here. I’m not fulfilled. I need a change!” 🤯

But wait—before you make a big leap, ask yourself: Is the job really the problem? Or is it the way you’re approaching it?

This weekend, I had a conversation with someone in the exact same boat—wanting to change careers. Here’s the thing: it’s not always the job. When you're stressed, anxious, or even depressed, you’re in fight-or-flight mode 🧠💥. And no matter how many jobs you switch, you’ll carry that stress with you.

The first step is to get out of fight or flight. That's what we focus on with The Microdose Diet—rewiring your brain, calming your body, mastering emotions, and raising your energy ⚡. Once you're out of that survival mode, THEN you can really assess: is the job or career the issue, or was it your mindset?

So, before making any big moves, ask yourself: Is it the job, or is it me needing to reset?

👉 Check out my book The Microdose Diet (it’s right behind me!) or head to my website to learn more about this process. It all starts with YOU.

🦮What Did You Really Choose? Exploring the Illusion of Free Will

We believe that every twist and turn, every success and failure, is a result of our deliberate choices. Yet, lurking beneath this facade of autonomy lies a complex interplay of forces that challenge the notion of free will.

What does this illusion of free will mean for you and what can you do about it?

🛝Strength of Momentum
Many find themselves trapped in professions they never intended to pursue, simply because it was the path of least resistance or the one laid out for them by others.

😶‍🌫️ Difficulty of Being Present
Lack of presence makes it difficult to make truly conscious decisions.

🧠 Consciously vs. Subconsciously
Studies have shown that much of your decision-making occurs at a subconscious level.

💡Why Does It Matter?
By acknowledging the factors that influence your choices, you gain a deeper understanding of yourselves and your place in the world. You become less beholden to societal expectations and more attuned to your true desires and aspirations.

🔓How to Break Free?
🧘Be Present
By grounding yourself in the present moment, you break free from the grip of past conditioning and future anxieties, allowing for greater clarity and freedom of choice.
💻Reprogram Your Subconscious Mind
Challenge limiting beliefs and replace them with empowering narratives that align with your desired outcomes.

👣One Step at a Time
Breaking free from predestination and autopilot is not an overnight endeavor but rather a gradual process of self-transformation.

The notion of free will is a complex and multifaceted concept that challenges our understanding of human agency.

🤥Unveiling the Ultimate Gaslighting: "You Can Have It All"

⛓️Breaking Free from the Illusion of Perfection
Among the plethora of societal myths, "You Can Have It All" stands out as one of the most insidious forms of gaslighting, especially when considering the expectations placed on women.

🤥“You Can Have It All” = The Ultimate Gaslighting
The notion that women can (and should) effortlessly juggle a super successful career, look like a supermodel, raise wonderfully well-adjusted kids, be a fabulous spouse while being well-travelled, educated and pleasing (but still assertive) is at best damaging, at worst mental, emotional and physical subjugation.

🌟 Want to level up your gaslighting radar? Order The Brain Power Microdose to get that extra help. https://themicrodosediet.com/product 🌟

👸The Illusion of Perfection
This gaslighting is especially pernicious because it preys on women's insecurities that have been carefully cultivated since childhood (it is indeed much easier to manipulate an insecure individual, so let’s start them young!), as well as societal expectations. It suggests that any failure to meet these unrealistic standards is a personal failing rather than a systemic issue.

🤷‍♀️Manipulated into Obedience and Conformity
Moreover, the "You Can Have It All" gaslighting undermines the concept of choice and autonomy. Women are made to feel guilty for prioritizing their own needs and desires over societal expectations. The pressure to conform to this ideal leaves little room for individuality or self-expression.

🌟 Need a little help on how to break free from gaslighting? Pre-order The Microdose Diet for a guide to do just that! https://themicrodosediet.com/book 🌟

🔓Reclaiming One’s Freedom
Opting out of this destructive cycle doesn't mean settling for less; rather, it's about rejecting the false promises and unrealistic expectations that have been imposed upon women. It's about redefining success on one's own terms and prioritizing fulfillment and well-being over external validation.

The "You Can Have It All" gaslighting is a powerful mechanism that perpetuates unrealistic expectations and undermines women's sense of self-worth and agency. Breaking free from this cycle requires recognizing it for what it is and reclaiming control over one's own narrative. It's time to reject the illusion of perfection and embrace the messy, imperfect beauty of being human.

💭 Beliefs are interesting animals...we didn't chose most of them, but they live with us 24/7.

They came from our families of origin, socio-economic groups, schools, religion, and everywhere in between.

Some might have been beliefs we would have decided to have but most are just there. Because they always have been. Because it is the way it is.

🤔 What would it look like to actually mindfully, strategically pick your own beliefs?

What would you do? Who would you be if you had different beliefs about yourself?

❓ An interesting question to ponder!

👩‍⚖️ Legal frameworks in North-America are being upended by

As the psychedelic renaissance contributes to a swelling pool of safety and efficacy data pertaining to the potential therapeutic benefits of psychedelic medicine, many localities—particularly in North America—are revising their legal frameworks.

⚖️ This is happening in a number of ways: from the least rigorous incarnation which involves making the enforcement of psychedelics’ illegality the lowest law enforcement priority in a given city (such as in Oakland and Washington, DC), right through to state-wide legalization of specific psychedelics (such as in Oregon and Colorado).

🙅How the Patriarchy is Failing Men; Breaking Down Stereotypes

I know some of you might be cringing already, ready to jump at my jugular while screaming that women are the victims of the patriarchy, not men. The reality is that the two statements are true; Men and Women are both short-changed by the patriarchal system. This is not a zero-sum game with one being exclusive of the other. Whether a “They”, a “She” or a “He”, patriarchy is not helping anyone.

👨‍👧‍👧Family Life
💣Extremism

As always there is more than meets the eye when it comes to our society. Yes, on one hand, positions of leaderships in government, corporations, and everywhere in between are still mainly held by men. But on the other hand, behind the headlines of CEO billionaires, the overall picture is not that resplendent for gentlemen.

02/13/2024

Our perception drives our reality.
That is the only way the brain can function, assessing situations through its own filters.
Which is why 2 individuals can have a widely different experience of the same situation.
The more in control you are of these filters & the more you have released the limiting beliefs, emotional wounds and automatic answers, the more you can shape the world you are living it.
Versus applying others values, beliefs and limitations to your own experience.

It is a full holistic experience and a never-ending endeavor but this is the only way to live as a truly independent and critical being.
Free from the burdens of "what should be" you collected since you were born.
So instead of listening to the internal voices of your parents, teachers, religious leaders, friends, it is your own internal authentic voice that is guiding you.
