With Becca McLeish : When Adversity Becomes the Way Forward (Season 2 finale!) | 26 Reframing Chronic Illness
-
- Alternative Health
If ever I’ve met a person so inspirational in their approach to creating a life they love against a backdrop that would challenge anyone’s resilience, Becca is she. A high school dropout and a late bloomer, Becca qualified in her late 40s and said reaching midlife was the point her life opened up as she tuned into her inner rebel and lived for her, when society would have had her believe it was the beginning of the downwards slope.
Becca, aka The Rebel Hypnotist, is a Cognitive Hypnotherapist and Positive Psychology Coach and if nothing else, she hopes she’s proof that you get to create a life you love; at any age and with any history. Becca helps her clients break the 'rules' and live life on their terms, by shifting their perspective on the things that are keeping them stuck. Reprogramming their limiting beliefs to a more supportive internal narrative and highlighting their values, strengths and abilities to move forward and create lasting change.

EPISODE NOTES:
4:55 - About Becca, what rebellion means to her, how it shows up in her life and how she came to be The Rebel Hypnotist.
5:45 - Rebellion to Becca doesn’t mean being a troublemaker, it means doing the opposite of what everyone expects you to do.
7:00 - Mid-life being the start of rebellion, not the downward slope that's expected and portrayed by society!
8:45 - How you can change your thoughts and feelings when you have zero motivation to, by repurposing old feelings (genius)!
12:05 - Becca’s response to growing up witnessing loved ones ‘deep in it’ when the relationship between thoughts and reality didn’t serve them.
13:15 - How we can navigate 'manifestation fear'; aka being afraid to think ‘negative’ thoughts in case you undo all your ‘good work’.
17:05 - Values in action - knowing and embracing what makes you, you, and feeding into your values and what makes you feel good, as a tool to help you through tough times.
23:15 - Bringing breathwork to your toolbox and how it’s a fantastic practice for those living with chronic illness and inflammation. How that goes hand in hand with hypnotherapy.
28:45 - The potential to re-traumatise yourself when you’re repeatedly reliving the past, and how that can become your identity.
30:45 - Getting creative with rebellion.
34:45 - Dr Emoto's water experiment - vibrations and energy. Being able to notice and change your energy in the moment. Tuning in, exploring, investigating and working through feelings & emotions.
39:45 - The way we’re made to feel (&believe) about our feelings and using rebellion as an act of self-care in doing what’s best for us, not what’s expected of us.
46:00 - The obstacle is the way; adversity into advantage (book ref).
