Just like a light bulb’s wattage, you’re only able to hold as much energy (wealth, love, joy) as your internal circuitry allows. The Power of Flow State: When you’re aligned and in flow, everything you desire is drawn to you naturally. Flow state can be achieved by rewiring old mental programs and stepping into a mindset of limitless possibility. Triggers Are Teachers: If someone’s success triggers you, it’s an opportunity to notice what’s unresolved within yourself. Use that moment to reflect, realign, and grow. Energy Dictates Results: Your energy sets the frequency you’re tuned into, and life’s blessings (people, opportunities, and success) are drawn to that frequency. Raise your energy and watch your life shift. You Are the Wizard: Like in The Wizard of Oz, you are the one with the power to shift your reality. No one is coming to "save" you — you have everything you need to create the life you want. Quotes to Highlight: “Every tree, every eagle, every living being is designed to thrive. So are you.” - Cathy Heller “If you’re feeling unworthy, it’s not because something’s wrong with you — it’s because something’s right with you. You’re meant for more.” - Cathy Heller “The more you receive, the more you give. That’s how abundance works.” - Cathy Heller “There’s no wizard of Oz — you’re the wizard.” - Cathy Heller “Every single time you’re in overflow, your joy spills over to the people around you. The world needs more people walking around with full cups.” - Cathy Heller Where to Find Cathy Heller: Podcast: Abundant Ever After (Available on all podcast platforms) Website: cathyheller.com Instagram: @cathy.heller Book: Abundant Ever After — Available wherever books are sold Join Cathy’s 21-Day Challenge: Start your most abundant year on January 1st with Cathy’s 21-day manifestation challenge.

Nick Pollard, Born in April of 1980, is a world-renowned coach and speaker specializing in People Pleasing, Codependency, and Addiction. With over 50 million views on his social media channels, Nick has become a thought leader in personal growth and change. He ranks in the top 10% of coaches worldwide. Nick had a (in his own words) less-than-ideal childhood. His father was an alcoholic, workaholic, se* abuser. The latter would later push Nick to his psychological end, which landed him in a hospital in 2009. After that, Nick struggled mightily to hold his life together but could not (or so he felt) battle the mounting demons and turned to drugs and alcohol to solve the problem. It did not solve the problem, and roughly 9 years later, a change had to be made. Nick willingly checked himself into rehab, and the PeopleDisPleaser was born. Since then, Nick has traveled the world, learning and helping others and communicating his journey. His love for seeing people grow and the "light bulb go on and then explode" is what he credits, his drive. Nick has been very successful in business, forming and selling many companies. His first entrepreneurial venture, at age ten, was door sales for his car wash company that would later net him enough money to buy fireworks for the Fourth of July. "My parents said we did not have any money. I knew that was a lie, but I went anyway. I have made my own money since." If you ask Nick what he feels the key to success is, he would say, "Do the work. It is not fashionable or even slightly pretty. Just do the work." He enjoys walking on the beach, working out, and traveling. When he is not on the road, he spends time with his two cats, Azula and Zuko, reading, and working. https://www.instagram.com/thepeopledispleaser/ To connect with Jason click the link below! https://stan.store/Jbirdfit Disclaimer: The training is intended for informational and educational purposes, it is not intended to substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis, and/or treatment.
