NOTE TO THE LISTENER: In this episode, I reference stories about Robin Williams and Kate Spade.

The example about Robin Williams is based on a story I originally heard Tony Robbins share.
Since recording this episode, I’ve learned that Robin Williams’ situation was much more complex and involved a serious neurological condition called Lewy body dementia, which affects cognition, perception, mood, and brain function and can include severe anxiety, depression, confusion, and hallucinations.

Because of this, I want to be very clear that his experience cannot be explained by subconscious programming, emotional patterns, or personal development frameworks alone.

I also want to be clear that I am not suggesting that all experiences of depression, anxiety, or emotional struggle come from the same root.

That said, the concepts I share in this episode are still deeply relevant for many people.

For a very large number of individuals, understanding subconscious programming, emotional safety, learned associations, and how the brain organizes motivation and protection can address an important root layer of why they feel stuck.

This episode is intended to be educational and reflective, not diagnostic or medical advice.

ABOUT THE EPISODE: The big lie that keeps people stuck, is that they have to be in a confined, fear based, frustrated state and deal with all the collateral damage in order to get what they want in life. Any emotion that is fear based or anxiety or frustration based, all stems at some level from this subconscious belief. The truth is, you don’t have to feel stuck or suffer in order to have what you want. When you program your mind to find joy within the journey, things come to you with so much ease.
