This podcast is about integrating tried and true strategies that we know actually work - in life, business, self-help; with the science of unconscious programming & the magic of manifestation. I’m a certified life and business coach and a professional photographer who built a multiple six figure business with a degree in Psychology while being a mom to three little kids. I had zero business training, so I dug in, learned the methods and now I’m passing that all onto you! I’m a self described brain geek and have certifications in things like RRT, NLP, Neuro-encoding and Amen clinic brain training and I’m always interested in hearing what you have to say on the topic of brain rewiring too. In this podcast, our conversations range from photography how to’s, systems and business strategies to more woo-woo stuff like energy healing, human design & the basics of manifestation - because well, I’m just kind of all over the place. I know that most creative entrepreneurs ARE a little neuro-spicy so I want to fire up your super charged brains and show you what’s possible.

In the final episode of my summer “Let Me Change Your Mind” series, I’m changing your mind about the breakthrough. Because real transformation rarely arrives as one giant, cinematic moment. Your brain builds the identity you rehearse through the tiny choices, reactions, and decisions you repeat when nobody is watching. We’re talking about how to change your identity without forcing yourself into fake positivity, why uncomfortable feelings need to finish their full sentence, and the three small reps that can start shifting who you are right now.  Get COACHING:  SCHEDULE A FREE DISCOVERY CALL HERE  LEAVE A REVIEW in 5 seconds flat (helps us a ton!)

    Let Me Change Your Mind About Being STUCK

    Have feedback? Text us! Grab the SENIOR SPRINT for $500 off Show Notes: You think being stuck means you haven't found the answer yet. In this episode I'm taking that belief apart, because being stuck almost never has anything to do with the answer. It has everything to do with the state you're trying to find it in. And once you see that, you can't unsee it. What we get into: Why "more effort" is the exact wrong move when you hit a wallThe NLP concept of state, and why it drives every decision you makeWhat's really happening in your body when a pricing decision makes your chest tightWhy journaling about the same problem for three weeks lands you nowhereState Before Strategy: the four-step reset for the moment you're activatedThe client who sat on a pricing decision for ten weeks and what finally moved itWhy this was never actually about pricing, captions, or bookingsThis one is a solo episode with Renee Bowen: luxury senior portrait photographer, NLP-certified life and business coach, and hypnotherapist.  Get COACHING:  SCHEDULE A FREE DISCOVERY CALL HERE  LEAVE A REVIEW in 5 seconds flat (helps us a ton!)

    Have feedback? Text us! Watch this episode on YouTube You've followed the strategy. You've done the launches. You've written the emails and shown up consistently.

Her work sits at the exact intersection of this podcast: practical strategy with a serious dash of woo.

    Bach Flower Remedies for Human Design Types with Tracy Poizner

    Have feedback? Text us! Pssst: Watch this episode on YouTube HERE Show Notes: You've probably heard of Human Design (esp if you listen to my show). Maybe you've even heard of Bach Flower Remedies. But Tracy Poizner went and combined them into something that sounds niche and ends up being wildly practical, and the results from her beta test will make you want to know your energy type immediately if you don't already. What we get into: What Bach flower remedies actually are, how they're made, and why "there's no stuff in it" is actually the whole pointHow Edward Bach figured out a century ago what we now call the mind-body connection & gut microbiomeHow Tracy mapped flower essences to the five human design energy types and why the not-self emotional patterns were the keyThe conference download story that accidentally became her entire business modelWhat "reverse affirmations" are and why naming the pattern works better than affirming the idealThe beta test data: 57 to 71% improvement in top patterns at four weeks, and what that actually looks like in people's livesWhy even experienced deconditioning practitioners are getting results they couldn't get anywhere elseAbout Tracy Poizner: Tracy is a 28-year classical homeopath and manifesting generator who has spent the last several years mapping Bach flower essences to human design energy types. Her Space Time Alchemy Human Design Series includes blends for all five energy types, designed to accelerate deconditioning and make it easier to live in alignment with your strategy and authority.
