🚀 A Powerful Look at How Our Past Influences Our Success 🚀 I just watched an incredibly insightful interview with Dr. Bessel van der Kolk, one of the most influential psychiatrists of our time (so they say! but he's real chill... didn't know of him before), and I wanted to share some key takeaways especially because many of us here are entrepreneurs, and there’s a deeper connection between trauma and the entrepreneurial journey than we might think. Dr. van der Kolk’s work focuses on the long-lasting effects of childhood trauma, and how it shapes the way we experience the world as adults. For us, understanding that our emotional responses are often rooted in the past can be an important step toward healing and finding healthier ways to cope with the pressures of entrepreneurship. ✨ The good news -----> because we can't control WHAT happened but can't stay stuck!!!: 🔥The key to overcoming this isn't just pushing through, it's about reconnecting with ourselves 🔥(Healing is possible, the doc lists: relationships, attunement, safe connection, embodied practices (yoga, neurofeedback), and psychedelic therapy all show promise.. not by fixing thoughts, but by restoring connection to self and others.) 🔥Dr. van der Kolk highlights the power of finding meaningful relationships (both with ourselves and others) as one of the most healing factors. This is something that’s particularly important for entrepreneurs who tend to isolate themselves and take on the weight of the world alone. That's why I love community, why it's so important! 💟So if you’ve ever wondered why the entrepreneurial journey feels especially intense or why certain triggers seem to affect you more deeply, it might be worth exploring how past experiences are shaping your present. No post would explain how interesting the topic is!!

Let's talk about this. “I’m blocked.” “I have money blocks.” “I just can’t seem to get past this thing…” But here’s a reminder: 👉 We don’t have blocks. We have old programming. Somebody else’s rules. Installed before you were 7 years old !!!!!!! 🆘 Still running your life. And that “I’m blocked” story? That’s literally an instruction you’re sending to God / Source / Universe: “I am blocked.” And what does the universe say? “Yes. You are. No ideas for you today.” 😅 Time to change the script. 1️⃣ Spot the Old Code (No More “Digging for Blocks”) You don’t have to go digging for every wound from childhood. Your misaligned beliefs show up automatically: - As thoughts that make you feel small, ashamed or stuck - As the voice that says: “Who are you to want that?” - As guilt for wanting more money, more freedom, more visibility 🔥 Rule of thumb: If a belief makes you feel bad → it’s a lie about who you really are. 📝 Action: Today - Notice 1 thought that feels heavy (about money, success, love, business). - Write it down. - Label it: “Old code – not mine anymore.” 2️⃣ Your Identity Loop Is Creating Your Results Here’s the loop they talked about: Beliefs → Thoughts → Feelings → Actions → Results → Reinforces Beliefs So if deep down you believe: “I’m not lovable.” “Money is hard.” “Clients don’t pick me.” Then your thoughts, feelings, actions and results will quietly match that identity. To create new results in 2026, you don’t just need a new plan…👉 You need a new identity. 📝 Action: Tonight Answer this in your journal: “If my 2026 results were already guaranteed… – What would I believe about myself? – What would I believe about money? – What would I believe about my clients / audience?” Write it in present tense: - “I am the kind of person who finishes.” - “Clients come easily to me.” - “Money flows to me when I serve deeply.” 3️⃣ Reprogram with Emotion + Repetition (Afformations 🆘 see definition in picture below) Your subconscious learned through repetition.
