Personal Development Mastery: Clarity for Midlife Professionals in Transition

This is the second of three episodes in which I am revisiting three interviews I did in the early days of the podcast. I believe these conversations to have deep and useful messages inside, and I want to give to the newer listeners of the podcast the opportunity to discover them and the value they contain.   This episode's conversation is with Sophia Vasiliou in July 2020, and was originally featured in episodes #045 & 046.   Sophia Vasiliou is passionate about helping people to shift blockages and transform limitations to discover who they truly are; to become healthier, happier and filled with purpose. She has studied and practiced many healing modalities, including Reiki and crystal therapy, and she has completed a 3-year shamanic apprenticeship in the Peruvian Amazon with an indigenous shaman, whilst working at the Ayahuasca Foundation. She is a pro-certified PSYCH-K practitioner and proficient in tools such as the Emotion code & Body Code, which can help make significant shifts in one’s health, wellbeing & life. I hope you enjoy the conversation!   𝗞𝗲𝘆 𝘁𝗮𝗸𝗲𝗮𝘄𝗮𝘆𝘀: * "See it to believe it" versus "Believe it to see it" * Western medicine's approach: treating symptoms, not cause * How our beliefs and perceptions create our reality * Changing limiting beliefs - both on conscious and subconscious level * The science of epigenetics, Dr Bruce Lipton, and the "biology of belief" * How Psych-K process works to change limiting beliefs * The shifting in human consciousness and the role of the virus   𝗩𝗮𝗹𝘂𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗲 𝗿𝗲𝘀𝗼𝘂𝗿𝗰𝗲𝘀: Website: Support the showCareer transition and career clarity podcast content for midlife professionals in career transition, navigating a career change, career pivot or second career, starting a new venture or leaving a long-term career.
