    Shelby Perry was 10 months alcohol-free when a freak snowboarding accident caused her to lose her right eye. It would have been easy to let this enormous setback bring her down – but instead, she created something beautiful from it.

    Episode 219: Alexandria Wombwell-Povey on Manifesting Magic and How To Believe In Yourself

    You've heard of manifestation, right? It's not about wishful thinking, but aligning thoughts, feelings, beliefs, and actions to turn dreams into reality.

    Business mentor Alexandria Wombwell-Povey transformed her life from a depleted and uninspired insurance broker, to deeply fulfilled, abundant, and joyful.

    Imagine building your dream house in Tulum or experiencing a life-changing retreat on Richard Branson’s private island! Alexandria has done it all - and her ambition started with a vision board, faith, and a little bit of delusion.

    But her journey to this dream life in supporting other women wasn’t a straight shot – in this episode, she gets raw and vulnerable about why she still throws herself pity parties, how she sets boundaries (especially in the DMs), and how pregnancy and motherhood was an eye-opening, “radical realignment” in her life.

    If Alexandria can so powerfully transform her tears into triumph, what can YOU do with your story? What's your first step towards manifesting the life you were meant for?

     

    IN THIS EPISODE:

    • Alexandria’s emotional breakdown on a train home to visit her parents and the leap of faith she took shortly thereafter
    • The power of self-belief (and sometimes delusion) even when your hard work doesn’t at first seem to be paying off
    • Her thoughts on manifestation: laws of vibration, laws of attraction, and laws of ACTION – plus, Alexandria’s life-changing retreat on Necker Island with Richard Branson
    • The “slap in the face” she received when she was living her best life – and how it brought her closer to herself than she’d ever been before
    • How pregnancy and motherhood forced Alexandria to create boundaries and honor a rhythm of life where some things – alcohol, for example – just doesn’t fit the same way anymore

    There’s one daily practice Karolina swears by, and she’s been doing it for years. It’s a little embarrassing (and a little OCD), but it’s SO easy to copy, and more importantly, it works!

    It’s not an app or some fancy software. All you need is a few 5x8 notepads and a curiosity to track everything from your aspirations to your self-care rituals.

    Spoiler alert? Writing in a notepad is not just about making a list and crossing off to-dos. It's about celebrating every micro-win and giving yourself a well-deserved dopamine dose.

    Karolina breaks down her EXACT system in this episode, including why she uses multiple notebooks and what she tracks on a regular basis. This simple strategy is one of the most powerful ways to reward your habits and maintain progress on your goals, in just 5 minutes a day. 

    If you’ve ever felt the satisfaction from crossing off a task on your to-do list, then maybe this secret hack to success is something you’ll love, too.

    • Karolina’s addictive 5x8 notepad strategy that catapulted her from a burned-out employee to a thriving multiple 6-figure entrepreneur
    • The daily dopamine hack: how the simple act of crossing off small achievements in a notebook powers Karolina’s alcohol-free lifestyle

    Why do we hit invisible ceilings in our happiness, love, and success?

    Episode 215: Understanding the Subconscious Mind (And How It Can Change Your Life)

    Your subconscious mind controls your beliefs, values, emotions, personality, and essentially drives your reality.

    We act out what we subconsciously believe we are worthy of, and most of our subconscious beliefs are programmed by other people in childhood. But here's the kicker, we can reprogram them.

    In today’s episode, Karolina is going to demystify the subconscious mind so you can understand the incredible power of it, and how it's going to change your life.

    We don’t have a perfectly programmed subconscious. And it’s nobody’s fault. You’ll hear about different modalities you can use to override the programming you picked up in childhood (like hypnosis, EFT, and NLP), and how to immerse yourself in environments that can change your identity. 

    There’s a lot of science in this episode, shared in an easy to understand format. All of Karolina’s successes as a leader, coach, and author were a result of this reprogramming–and this conversation is jam-packed with fascinating insights that will help you create beliefs that will serve you.

    And if you want to delve deeper into this topic, learn more about the Empowered AF Coach Certification program, which starts March 28th!

     

    IN THIS EPISODE:

    • All about the conscious mind (everything you’re paying attention to) vs. the subconscious mind (everything you’re not consciously focusing on in the moment)
    • How our subconscious brain deletes, distorts, filters, or generalizes the information we receive
    • How the incredible works of Charles Sanders Peirce, Sigmund Freud and Carl Jung helped shape our understanding of the subconscious mind
    • Karolina’s favorite techniques to change subconscious programming, including hypnosis, neuro-linguistic programming (NLP) and the emotional freedom technique (EFT)
