Last week I mentioned that I was going to an event put on by David Bayer, and if I’m being honest, I thought I had an idea of what to expect… but I didn’t know the full extent.
The event was called The Powerful Living Experience, and I thought I was walking into something that was going to teach me business practices, mindset shifts, and give me a chance to network.
Because I know he focuses a lot on shifting limiting beliefs, I went in with the intent of gaining clarity around any financial abundance limiting beliefs I might have.
And man…
I was blown out of the water.
Which is ironic, because the resort was the largest indoor/outdoor waterpark… and I had more waterworks than the waterpark itself.
See, when you want to achieve your full potential, it’s not usually one limiting belief.
It’s layers.
The best way I can explain it...
It felt like a glass full of rocks, with crevices in between. And with each session, it was like pouring water into that glass. The water would seep underneath into the next crevice… exposing another limiting belief.
Then another.
Then another.
Until it finally got down to the root.
And what I realized was this:
I don’t have limiting beliefs around having money itself.
I have a limiting belief around accepting it.
Around believing I’m worthy or deserving of being paid for my abilities and talents.
And even further…
I didn’t believe I was allowed to take up space.
As an overweight individual most of my life, I learned to shrink myself as much as possible to make up for the physical space I was taking up.
So I shrank everything else too.
My dreams.
My desires.
My income.
Even parts of myself.
Blending in. Not drawing attention.
But during a morning meditation, I was led to take up space that day.
And I made the decision that I would follow every punch I felt in my chest… and not allow my brain the 5 seconds it needs to let doubt creep in.
So when there was an opportunity to volunteer to share in front of 1200+ people…
I raised my hand.
Every time.
Not intending to be chosen — honestly, I didn’t think my nervous system could handle that.
But to remind my nervous system that bad things won’t happen if:
- I take up space
- I draw attention to myself
So I did.
Every time he asked, I raised my hand.
And I didn’t get struck by lightning.
I didn’t get judged.
I didn’t get snarked at.
And I didn’t get called on…
until I did.
On the second day, he called on me.
He even commented on my glasses to confirm it was me, and I just about shit myself.
I panicked so hard I don’t even know what he asked, because the whole time, I was doing it for myself.
To remind my nervous system that nothing bad would happen.
Because that’s what I teach.
That we need to train our nervous systems to be reminded that bad things don’t happen when we release old identities to step into new ones.
But here’s what actually landed:
Not only was I training my nervous system that bad things won’t happen…
My nervous system learned in that moment that good things will happen when you:
- Listen to your intuition and your body
- Step out of your comfort zone
Now the wisdom I received from David in that moment was great (and I’m glad my friend recorded it because I think I blacked out)…
But that’s not what stuck with me.
What stuck was the alignment of community that stepping out of your comfort zone creates.
People resonated with what I said.
People told me that because I was vulnerable, they felt empowered.
I made deep, lasting friendships.
I made business connections that are going to lay foundations I never even considered.
Unfathomable outcomes are now fathomable.
All because I listened to that little voice that said:
“It’s time to help your nervous system learn trust.”
Nervous System Challenge This Week
Learning to listen to your own voice is hard. I overrode mine for 15 years.
And what I thought I lost in the fire department… actually started way earlier than that.
Back in church — when I was told that because I was a woman, I wasn’t allowed to say, do, or be a part of many things.
It wasn’t until a Brainspotting session that I realized I was still carrying those identities. And it changed the trajectory of how I listen to my own voice.
So here’s your question this week:
What is one way you’re overriding your own voice that could be holding you back?
Sit with it.
If you need help answering that, I’d love to guide you through it in a Brainspotting session.
I also have Burn the Blueprint: Identity Reset, my 4-week self-paced program that includes 4 Brainspotting sessions for $497.
The 4 sessions alone are worth well over that price.
That offer will only be available for the next 2 weeks. You can learn more here: [Burn the Blueprint: Identity Reset]
If you want to start with Burn the Blueprint: Masterclass — a 3-day video training (30–45 minutes each) — it’s a crash course to help you answer that question for $27.

In case you missed it, head over to Hustle Rebels to catch the latest episode.
This week's episode breaks down the viral CEO Burger Challenge — and what it actually reveals about leadership, burnout, and broken systems. Because it’s not about burgers… it’s about what happens when leadership becomes disconnected from reality and everyone else carries the weight.
If you’ve been doing everything right but still feel exhausted, this one will hit. Because burnout isn’t a mindset flaw — It’s often the result of systems that were never built with the human experience in mind.
