In this episode, we discuss how to address our past in a way that allows for transformational change. Leisse Wilcox is a Transformational Mindset + Success Coach, podcast host, motivational speaker, author, single mom of three, and breast cancer survivor. She employs a technique called Emotional Alchemy, which integrates Neurolinguistic Programming (NLP), and Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) to help other high-potential women to unleash their authentic selves. Leisse has appeared on the Toronto Star, Thrive Global, TEDx, Forbes, HGTV, NOW Magazine, and more. Her podcast, To Call Myself Beloved, is ranked as a Top 50 Self-Improvement podcast in 5 countries, and she has a new book out titled To Call Myself Beloved. In this episode, we discuss: ·      How the belief in something bigger can help make sense of all our struggles, take control of our lives, and find more compassion for others. ·      The pivotal moment in her life that woke her up and changed everything. ·      How the process of growth is messy and never linear. ·      What Neurolinguistic Programming is and how it can help us understand our brain and transform our lives. ·      Why we have to process our past in order to move forward. ·      How to use our feelings as feedback to heal and grow. ·      The intersection of accepting yourself and working to better yourself. ·      Why we are all here and what the true purpose of life is… at least, what we think it is! ·      The power of intentionally sitting in positive moments and feelings when they happen. ·      The importance of finding a self-reflection practice that feels good for you, and allowing that to change as you and your life change. ·      Why we all need to come back home to ourselves and learn to trust ourselves.
