Your childhood messaging is affecting your success!

Your childhood messaging could have a profound impact on your career, finances, and overall success, whether you realize it or not. It’s not just about trauma; it’s about relationships, messages, and the environment you grew up in. Children absorb these influences like sponges, and they shape your beliefs and actions as an adult, affecting self-esteem, risk-taking, and more.

I’ve invited Paul Gilmartin, the host of a top mental health podcast (The Mental Health Happy Hour) and a former TV personality and comedian, to discuss how our childhood experiences have influenced our lives. Prepare to be amazed in this journey to “shooketh land.”

Childhood trauma can erode self-esteem, making it difficult to believe in one’s abilities. This lack of confidence can hinder career growth, preventing individuals from pursuing opportunities or promotions.

Trust issues stemming from childhood trauma can make it hard to form healthy professional relationships. Networking, collaboration, and teamwork may suffer, impacting career prospects that often depend on strong interpersonal connections.

Trauma can lead to emotional dysregulation, causing difficulties in handling stress and pressure at work. This can affect decision-making, problem-solving, and overall performance, hindering success in a competitive work environment.

Childhood trauma may contribute to mental health issues like anxiety or depression, making it challenging to maintain a healthy work-life balance. Constant emotional turmoil can affect productivity and focus at work, impacting overall career success and job stability.

EP 767 Deprogramming Fear around Money, Business & Failure

Fear around money and business doesn’t usually come from logic. 

It comes from conditioning.

In this episode, we’re unpacking how fear gets wired into your nervous system, your decision-making, and your income patterns and how to consciously deprogram it without forcing confidence, bypassing emotions, or burning yourself out.

This is not about positive thinking or manifesting harder. It’s about understanding why fear shows up even when you are capable, skilled, and doing the right things and what actually changes it.

EP 765 The Final Shedding Required for the Biggest Quantum Jump of Your Life

If you have been feeling restless, emotionally raw, impatient with your old patterns, or like your current life suddenly feels too small, you are not imagining it.

As we close out the Year of the Snake and prepare to enter the Year of the Fire Horse on February 17, 2026, we are moving through a rare 60-year transition cycle associated with identity shifts, shedding outdated patterns, and stepping into a faster, bolder chapter of life.

This episode explores the final shedding required before a major quantum jump, why this phase can feel emotionally intense, and how to stop delaying the version of you that is ready to move forward.

Instead of surface-level motivation or spiritual bypassing, this conversation focuses on honest self-reflection, releasing emotional attachments, confronting resistance, and taking decisive action so you can move into your next level with clarity and momentum.
