  • Ep. 122 - The Psychological & Spiritual Tools to Become Your Own Advocate & Get Unstuck
    Sep 30 2025

    Are you stuck in the loop of sabotaging good opportunities or continually finding some version of the same-old-same-old disappointing situation? Are you an expert at envisioning the worst case scenario but find it hard to envision - and become - what you really, truly want?
    Our early conditioning can set us up for living on automatic pilot and keep us stuck in old habits, relationship patterns and more that leave us frustrated and feeling bad about ourselves.
    In this episode, psychologist Traci Stein sheds light on the most common everyday “trances” that set us up for feeling bad. She also shares 2 powerful tools (with examples) that can help us rescript our lives for the better, and help us feel, do and live better overall - in mind, body and spirit.
    You’ll also learn how to create your own guided imagery and affirmations, and leave with affirmations (beginning at 43:39) that you can use today.
