  • Rewriting Subconscious Patterns to Create Deeper Confidence and Clarity
    Jan 27 2026
    What if confidence isn’t something you build, but something you unlock?In this empowering episode of Her Unshakeable Confidence, Simone and Olivia sit down with Yvonne Trost — subconscious transformation coach, founder of Limitless You, and expert in nervous system rewiring. Yvonne shares how the subconscious mind, conditioning from childhood, and our fight-flight-freeze responses quietly shape the way we think, feel, and show up in the world.Through practical tools, breathwork, and deep inner exploration, she explains how anyone can shift out of fear, judgment, and “not enough” — and into authenticity, emotional freedom, and true confidence. This episode is packed with eye-opening insights, everyday strategies, and a powerful reminder that you already have everything you need within you.✅ Actionable TakeawaysFind the Trigger Point in Your Body: Every emotion is instructing you to act. Before reacting, pause and ask: What is this sensation asking me to do?Use Breath to Regulate: Inhale for 4, exhale for 6. A longer exhale signals safety to your nervous system and shifts you out of fight-flight-freeze.Question Old Conditioning: Many beliefs come from childhood fear, not your true values. Explore what’s yours versus what you inherited.Understand Your Subconscious: Your conscious mind isn’t running the show — your subconscious is. Awareness is the key to changing long-held patterns.Explore Your True Values: Ask “why?” repeatedly until you reach motivations rooted in your authentic self, not expectations placed on you.Confidence Comes from Authenticity: Instead of striving to “be confident,” focus on being real. Confidence naturally follows when you live aligned with who you truly are.⏱️ Chapters00:00 — Introduction02:31 — Yvonne’s Journey into Nervous System and Subconscious Work06:44 — How Conditioning Shapes Identity and Self-Worth12:18 — The Fight-Flight-Freeze Response Explained17:52 — Breathwork: The Bridge Between Conscious and Subconscious23:10 — Why Failure Should Be Celebrated, Not Feared28:47 — Raising Kids with Emotional Safety & Curiosity33:52 — How Desire Leads to Purpose, Not Attachment38:22 — Reprogramming Beliefs and Questioning Authority42:11 — What Confidence Really Means to Yvonne45:36 — The Best Advice Yvonne Ever Received48:20 — Understanding Your True Values49:50 — Where to Find Yvonne & Her Free Resources✨ About Yvonne M.
