235 Exploring the Secrets of Numerology: Interview with David Shephard
What if certain essential aspects of your life – such as your talents and what truly motivates you – were determined before you were even conceived? While the idea may seem far-fetched, a practice called numerology posits that some numbers, including those linked to your name and date of birth, carry vibrations and meanings that can reveal illuminating truths about your life’s path and purpose. David Shephard – who previously appeared in Episode 58 of The Mindset Game® podcast – is a globally recognized expert in neuro-linguistic programming (NLP), as well as Time Line Therapy, hypnosis, Hawaiian Huna, and numerology. Returning as our guest in Episode 235 of the show, David shares: An overview of numerology and what different numbers can reveal about your life’s destiny, your soul drive (or deepest motivations), and your natural talents A simple numerology exercise designed to reveal your natural talent using only your date of birth How numerology can facilitate a process of self-discovery and awareness – which is particularly crucial to be able to lead others effectively To access David’s numerology masterclass and many other resources, visit https://hunaandbeyond.com.

234 Why You Feel Conflicted and How to Heal with IFS: Interview with Ty Cutner
Have you ever felt that you had different “parts” within yourself – often with their own competing needs and goals? For instance, one part of you may feel driven to work hard every day, while another prioritizes relaxation; some parts may carry heavy emotions such as shame or fear, while others attempt to bury them with behaviors that are often maladaptive. While the interactions between these parts can sometimes create a sense of inner turmoil, getting to know each of them and striving to foster healing and harmony among them can help you access greater joy and balance in your life. Ty Cutner is a level-two-trained personal development coach in Internal Family Systems (IFS), a well-known therapeutic model developed by Dr. Richard Schwartz. Ty is a contributing author to the best-selling book, “Freeing Self: IFS Beyond the Therapy Room,” as well as one of the leading coaches in the IFS community. He applies the IFS model to his workshops and his practice, which focuses on image coaching and relationship coaching. As our guest in Episode 234 of The Mindset Game® podcast, Ty shares the following: An overview of our different parts as described by IFS, including managers, firefighters, and exiles, and how they work together in various contexts, with each having a positive intention for you — even if it doesn’t always seem that way Why it’s important to become aware of your parts, as well as the Self — an ever-present, loving energy within each of us that can heal conflicts between the parts Exercises, techniques, and a guided meditation designed to help you get in touch with your parts, soothe any discord between them, and begin interacting with them in a more harmonious, compassionate manner To learn more about Ty and his programs or to get in touch with him, visit www.tycutner.com.

227 The Power of Radical Self-Acceptance: Interview with Dr. Laura Gallaher
Have you ever wrestled with an inner critic that berated you for any perceived flaws and prevented you from celebrating your strengths and achievements? While it can be difficult to fully accept yourself exactly as you are, self-acceptance is essential not only for your own happiness, but also the health of your relationships with others – and for leaders, self-acceptance is one of the keys to building high-performing teams. Dr. Laura Gallaher is an organizational psychologist, keynote speaker, USA Today best-selling author, and leadership coach. After the space shuttle Columbia exploded upon reentry in 2003, the NASA Kennedy Space Center hired Laura and a team of organizational psychologists to change the cultural influences that were deemed to play a role in the tragedy. She worked for eight years with NASA to positively influence the culture, develop leadership capacity, and improve organizational performance at Kennedy Space Center, and was then hired by Walt Disney Parks and Resorts to help manage radical changes with their performance management process and philosophy. Laura's company, Gallaher Edge, applies the science of human behavior to organizations so they can gain an edge, achieve together, and enjoy the journey. As our guest in Episode 227 of The Mindset Game® podcast, Laura shares the following: Why psychological safety, which begins with self-acceptance, is crucial for workforce success, as well as tips for leaders seeking to cultivate both Why self-acceptance should also include accepting your inner critic and striving to create harmony between them and your inner champion The relationship between self-improvement and self-acceptance, and why accepting yourself as you are will not necessarily prevent you from continuing to grow and improve To get in touch with Dr. Laura Gallaher, find her on LinkedIn or take her quiz designed to assess your current level of self-acceptance at www.selfacceptancequiz.com.

In a world filled with distractions, it can be challenging to focus your energy on the pursuits that will bring you optimum happiness and fulfillment. The secret to reaching your goals, overcoming barriers that may be holding you back, and attracting what you truly desire may lie in the powerful quantum fields that surround each of us.
