There’s a uniquely disorienting place we can find ourselves in when we have real goals and big dreams, yet can’t honestly say we believe in them. It can feel almost crazy-making — wanting something, planning for it, and still feeling internally unconvinced it’s possible. And yet, this experience is far more common than we’re taught to believe, especially during moments of transition when we’re seeking real change or a quantum leap forward in our lives.
This episode is for anyone who wants to keep moving forward with integrity when optimism feels unavailable (especially around New Year goals and intentions), and who is ready to work at the level where change actually happens — the subconscious. Instead of forcing motivation or positive thinking, this session explores dignity-based subconscious programming as a way to lower resistance, restore inner coherence, and make goals possible without pressure, self-betrayal, or false certainty.
Here’s what I explore:
Nine real reasons you may no longer believe in your own dreams — and why none of them mean you’re failing
A two-minutes-for-ten-days dignity practice (20 minutes total) that’s been making my goals possible
How this practice works at the subconscious level to reduce resistance and restore forward movement
Four ways to work with this practice more deeply once the initial ten days are complete

INSTRUCTIONS FOR SUCCESS: You’re not looking at this new person, you're inside them. You inhabit them. Maybe at first you need to look at them but eventually try to inhabit them physically.
Imagine them doing every day tasks - coffee shop or something mundane.
It may sound poetic. It my sound concrete. Dont judge what you write.
