The Jim Fortin Podcast

Start Your Transformation NowHow many times have you set goals for yourself only to find that you’re right back into your old patterns and you never achieve what you think that you want?If you’re like most people, that is your exact pattern: Wanting a goal but not achieving it because you can’t shake loose of your old patterns and habits.In the first sentence I said, “What you think that you want.” What you think that you want is not what you get because you get your habits and they don’t come from the “thinking” part of your brain.In this episode I talk about:[2:44] The three largest parts of your brain and how they function[10:38] How your reptilian brain sabotages your goals[12:19] Why your reptilian brain operates from survival and predictability[13:09] Why what you think you want is usually not what you get[15:09] And how to dissociate from the reptilian brain habitsI have created episodes on habits but this one dives deeper into the exact way the reptilian brain sabotages your goals and what you think that you want.Transformational TakeawayYour goals come from your prefrontal cortex “thinking” brain and your habits come from your reptilian brain. They battle each other and you have to disassociate from your reptilian brain habits.Let's Connect: Instagram Facebook YouTube LinkedIn LIKED THE EPISODE?If you're the kind of person who likes to help others, then share this with your friends and family.

Start Your Transformation NowIn today’s episode, I’ll continue exploring the profound impact of attachments and why learning to let go is a key to personal growth and true freedom. Building on last week’s conversation, I dive deeper into the idea that everything in life – people, relationships, material things, and even our own beliefs – is temporary. By fully grasping the impermanence of all things, we begin to understand how our attachments can hold us back from experiencing a more fulfilling and joyful life. Throughout this episode, I share personal stories of missed opportunities, valuable lessons, and the ways attachments and fears have affected my own journey. You’ll hear how even seemingly small attachments can have a powerful impact on our happiness and decision-making and why our attachments to comfort and security often keep us from taking meaningful steps forward. I’ll also offer insights into the balance of caring deeply without being controlled by our attachments. By cultivating non-attachment, we free ourselves to live more authentically, embracing each moment without being weighed down by the need to cling or control. Together, we’ll explore practical ways to release what no longer serves us so we can live with greater peace, power, and presence. What You’ll Discover in This Episode:  Letting Go of Attachments (00:46): Why releasing attachments to people, places, and things allows us to live more freely and fully.  Fear as an Attachment (01:30): Understanding how we can be attached to fear and how this attachment limits our potential.  The Cost of Attachment (05:07): Real-life examples that reveal the heavy price of staying attached to familiar yet limiting beliefs and situations.  Transforming Attachments into Empowerment (12:16): How to consciously choose attachments that support personal growth and fulfillment rather than those that drain energy and joy.  Balancing Care and Non-Attachment (20:40): Finding the balance between caring deeply yet remaining unattached to outcomes.  Listen, apply, and enjoy! Transformational Takeaway: When you can be completely at peace with both having something and not having it, you free yourself from the grip of attachment. This balance opens up a pathway to true spiritual evolution, allowing you to live a life rooted in choice rather than control. By releasing the fear of loss, you unlock a deeper sense of inner peace and create the space for joy, fulfillment, and authentic power. Embracing non-attachment isn’t about detachment from life—it’s about finding freedom within it. Mentioned Resources:Conversations with a Sorcerer: Escaping Your Biggest Enemy Part One — Jim directly suggests listening to the previous episode for full context.Start Your Transformation Now (Jim Fortin Community Space)Get Your Copy of My New Book – The Subconscious SolutionLet's Connect: Instagram Facebook YouTube LinkedIn LIKED THE EPISODE?If you're the kind of person who likes to help others, then share this with your friends and family.
