I'm taking a short break from new episodes this month, but I did not want to leave you without something powerful to listen to. Over the past two years, I've had the honor of speaking with some truly incredible guests, and one of those conversations continues to stand out for its deep impact.

So today I'm bringing back one of our most listened to episodes, and that's my conversation with Kevin Schouweiler. Kevin was actually my personal coach when I first committed to putting alcohol aside, and he has played an immense role in helping me build the mindset that fuels the work that I do today.

In this episode, we dive into the neurolinguistic programming, the power of language, and how small shifts in the words we use, like moving from I have to, to I get to, can open doors to transformation.

This conversation is packed with wisdom and insight, practical takeaways and encouragement to see yourself through a new lens. So whether it's your first time hearing it or you're revisiting it with fresh ears, I know you'll walk away inspired.

If this conversation encouraged you or gave you something to think about, I'd love it if you take a moment to follow the show, leave a rating or review or even share it with a friend. Your support helps to say Goodbye and Imagine podcast reach more people who are ready to take that next step towards freedom and possibility.

Today, we're going to share some profound insights into the transformative power of language and choice, and their impact on personal growth and development. Kevin put together a short video training for listeners of this episode on how you can identify outcomes or results you've wanted, but can't seem to realize it in your life.
