✨ this episode of Purposely Peaceful, we're digging into one of the most life-altering truths I know: Your core beliefs are quietly—but powerfully—running the show.

These deeply rooted ideas influence your thoughts, decisions, relationships, and even your sense of identity. Most of us never stop to ask, “Where did these beliefs even come from?”—but in this episode, we’re doing just that.

Here’s what we explore: ✨ Where core beliefs come from (spoiler: your childhood and environment play a big role) ✨ How your subconscious mind absorbs and stores these beliefs—sometimes even from past lives ✨ A personal story of how a single comment shaped my belief about being “unlikable” ✨ How core beliefs impact people-pleasing, self-worth, and emotional triggers ✨ What it actually means to start shifting your beliefs so they support the life you’re building

You’ll walk away from this episode with clarity, tools, and a new level of self-awareness—because peace starts with what you believe.

Takeaway Question: 🌀 What is the most loving thing I can believe or do in this moment? Let that guide you forward.

✨ Mentioned in this episode:

• Quantum Healing Hypnosis Technique (QHHT)
• The power of suggestion and media programming
• Hypnosis as a tool to access and shift beliefs

🧘‍♀️ Stay tuned for Part 2: Next week, we’ll go deeper into how to identify and rewire your core beliefs so they support your intention to live a Purposely Peaceful life.

Today, we’re getting real about emotions — the ones we carry daily, the ones we try to hide, and the ones that bubble up when we least expect them. If you’ve ever felt like you’re one second away from snapping, or like your body is telling you to slow down but you don’t know how... this episode is for you.

I’m breaking down:

• Why most of us were never taught to feel our emotions properly
• The truth about emotional overload and how it shows up in your body
• My personal wake-up call with burnout and emotional exhaustion
• A powerful visual I call the Emotional Backpack (this will shift how you see what you’re carrying)
• The Four-Part Emotional Cycle: Feel, Acknowledge, Process, Release
• Real tools to release stored emotions — from journaling to meditations to visualizations that connect body, mind, and soul

This episode is your permission slip to stop holding it all in. You don’t have to be strong all the time. You can make space to feel, heal, and come back to yourself — gently, intentionally, and without shame.

✨ Healing begins when we stop avoiding our emotions and start listening to them.

Whether you’ve felt powerless in relationships, work, or even just in traffic (yup, I’ve been there), this episode will help you recognize where your energy is going—and how to protect your peace, moment by moment.

We’ll cover:

• What personal power really means (and what it doesn’t)
• How to recognize when you’ve given your power away
• Why everyday “micro-moments” reveal where your power lives
• My favorite tool to begin reclaiming your power today
