  • UPDATED WEEKLY

The Subconscious Expert is a podcast about the subconscious mind, identity and self leadership for powerfully ambitious women who know what they want next and are ready to become the version of themselves who can actually hold it. You’re doing well, your business works, you’re smart, driven and you already know a lot and yet, behind the scenes, you can feel that something about the way you’ve been operating doesn’t quite fit anymore. Maybe consistency still feels harder than it should, maybe success feels heavier as things grow, maybe you lead everyone else powerfully, but struggle to lead yourself with the same clarity and self trust or maybe you can feel a bigger level calling you, and you want to meet it without burning out, overthinking, or losing yourself in the process. This podcast is for that moment. I’m your host, Rebecca Haydon NLP Trainer and Subconscious Business Mentor. I work with the subconscious side of business growth, identity, and leadership. I work with women building businesses at different stages and the patterns underneath are rarely as different as you’d expect. What’s happening at a subconscious level is what we work with here. Each week on The Subconscious Expert, we unpack subconscious patterns, identity shifts, and self-leadership skills that shape how you: • lead yourself • make decisions • handle responsibility and visibility • hold more success • sustain the level you’re stepping into These episodes are grounded, practical conversations rooted in NLP, subconscious work and leadership, supporting you to trust yourself more, feel clearer about what to do, and lead in a way that actually feels solid to live inside. This is the kind of work that shortens the gap between knowing what to do and actually doing it, the kind that changes how you show up day to day and the kind that lets your next level feel like something you can stand in. If you’re ready to build a life and business that matches who you’re becoming, you’re in the right place. New episodes weekly.

    280. Your Calendar Will Reveal If You're in a Doer or Leader Identity (And the Subconscious Beliefs That Are Keeping You There)

    Your calendar is full. Your days are packed. You are grafting. And yet your business still feels like it's running you instead of the other way around. That's not a time management problem. That's your leader identity trying to get your attention underneath a pile of doing. In today's episode, I'm breaking apart the doer identity, the part of you that was built to be the reliable one, the one who got things done, the one who never let anything slip, and why that same part is now the ceiling you keep hitting. I'm talking about the subconscious beliefs that made "busy" feel like "worthy" and why no amount of discipline will fix what is actually an identity shift waiting to happen. I'm also sharing exactly what your calendar is revealing about your CEO mindset right now (whether you like it or not, it's basically your subconscious document) and I'm giving you four things to do this week, starting with how you open your laptop tomorrow morning, that start building your CEO identity in real time. This one's going to land. And it might sting a little. Topics covered on Leader Identity:What is your calendar telling you about your leader identity right nowThe subconscious beliefs that made "doing more" feel like the only way to be valuedThe difference between a doer who fills every gap in their calendar vs a leader who protects CEO space on purposeHow to start building your CEO identity even if you don't have any team membersThe one identity shift that changes how you show up to your business every single dayWhy your CEO mindset is measured by intention, not by how many tasks you completed Connect with Rebecca Haydon:Apply to work with meThe Subconscious MembershipCome say hi on Instagram | Facebook | YouTube Related episodes you may enjoy:277.

    279. Why Waiting for Proof is Keeping You Stuck

    You've been waiting for the proof... the consistent months, the sold out programme, the income that finally feels like enough, the moment you can see exactly how it's going to work before you fully back yourself. And every time you get close - something shifts. The goalposts move, you explain it away and you go back to waiting. In this episode, I break down exactly what is happening in your subconscious when you wait for proof and wait for the how and why both of them are the same pattern keeping you exactly where you are. You'll learn why your RAS is actively filtering out every piece of proof you already have, what the proof is actually supposed to give you that no external result ever will, and what actually has to happen first before everything changes. This episode ends with four subconscious prompts to help you work through the proof pattern yourself, so make sure you have a quiet moment to sit with them before you close the episode. Topics covered on Why Waiting for Proof is Keeping You Stuck: What the proof pattern actually is and why waiting for the proof and waiting for the how are the same subconscious moveThe Reticular Activating System, why your brain is actively filtering out the proof you already haveWhat you actually believe the proof is going to give you and why no external result can ever deliver itWhat actually changes everything - the subconscious decision and identity shift that makes the proof and the how finally arriveFour subconscious prompts to help you identify and start shifting your own proof pattern Connect with Rebecca Haydon:Apply to work with me The Subconscious Membership Come say hi on Instagram | Facebook | YouTube [ep.132] Harnessing the Reticular Activating System to Turn Dreams into Reality [ep.263] How to Make Your Subconscious Believe What You Consciously Want "Your subconscious has been asking you for something it was never going to let you have. The proof was never the starting point. It was always the result." - Rebecca Haydon

    278. What Is The Subconscious Mind Really Doing? The Truth Behind The 95% Stat

    You've probably seen the stat shared on Instagram. A coach drops it in their sales page. Someone quotes it on a podcast. Ninety five percent of your behaviour is driven by your subconscious mind and everyone nods, shares it, repeats it. But here's the question nobody is actually answering, what does that mean for your real life? For your business? For the pattern you keep finding yourself in despite knowing exactly what you should do? In this episode, I go deep on the mechanics of the 95% problem. The actual mechanism, what your subconscious is doing, why your conscious mind keeps running out of road, and why the gap between what you want and what you do isn't a discipline problem, a strategy problem, or a you problem. This is the foundational episode of the Under the Surface series and if you've ever wondered why you keep ending up in the same place despite everything you know, this one is for you. Topics covered on The 95% Problem: Why the 95% stat gets thrown around and what the research actually saysThe iceberg model - what the conscious and subconscious minds are actually doingThe prefrontal cortex - the brain's executive centre and why it's the last part to developThe three things your subconscious is doing simultaneously without your awarenessWhy your subconscious patterns are protection, not punishmentThe gap, why conscious effort alone will never create lasting changeHow to tell in real time whether you're operating from your 5% or your 95% Connect with Rebecca Haydon: Apply to work with meThe Subconscious MembershipCome say hi on Instagram | Facebook | YouTube Related episodes you may enjoy: Ep 277.

    277. Why You Keep Self-Sabotaging Your Business Success (The 3 Subconscious Handbrakes)

    You had a strong month, the best one yet and instead of letting it land, you exhaled, went quiet, and within weeks you were barely talking about your offers again. Or you wrote the post. The one that actually said what you think and then you read it back, decided it was too much, and posted the safe version instead. Or you sat down to finally work on your own business, the thing that would actually move the needle and within ten minutes you were back in your client's messages. This is the subconscious handbrake and it shows up in three specific places in high achieving women's businesses, every single time. In today's episode I'm introducing the IVL Method for the first time, the framework I've been using with my clients for years and have finally given a name to. I'm breaking down exactly what's running underneath the income handbrake, the visibility handbrake and the leadership handbrake at a subconscious level, where each one comes from, what it looks like in real life, and the digging prompts that will help you start to see which one is yours. Topics covered in this episode:What the subconscious handbrake actually is and why it doesn't feel like sabotage when it firesThe income handbrake - what it looks like, what your subconscious relationship with money has to do with it, and the digging prompts to find yoursThe visibility handbrake - why this isn't a confidence problem, what your subconscious has stored about being seen, and the prompts to go deeperThe leadership handbrake - why overdelivering feels impossible to stop, what your subconscious decided about putting yourself first, and how to start seeing itIntroducing ALL IN, the three month container built around the IVL Method Resources mentioned in this episode:ALL IN is open now - we start 20th April: www.rebeccahaydon.com/all-in Connect with Rebecca Haydon:Apply to work with meThe Subconscious MembershipCome say hi on Instagram | Facebook | YouTube

    276. The Neuroscience Behind Why High Achieving Women Stay Stuck At The Same Level

    You have a groove. A neural pathway your brain has been running so automatically, so invisibly, for so long, you've started to mistake it for your personality. In this episode, I breaks down one of the most powerful concepts in neuroscience, neurons that fire together wire together and what it actually means for the patterns showing up in your business right now. Why you keep returning to the same income level, why the good months don't stay, why something pulls you back every single time expansion arrives. By the end of this episode that pattern has a name and once you can name it , everything changes. Topics covered in this episode: Why some women hit their next level and stay there and why others keep returning to the same familiar placeWhat neurons that fire together wire together actually means and why it matters for your businessHow your brain builds grooves from past experiences and runs them automatically every time expansion arrivesWhy the going quiet, the backend retreat, and the pulling back are not character flaws they are a sequenceWhy willpower, positive thinking and surface level behaviour change cannot override a subconscious grooveWhat actually changes a deep subconscious pattern and why the work has to happen at the level it was builtQuestions to help you find your own groove and understand how deep it runs Connect with Rebecca Haydon:Apply to work with meThe Subconscious MembershipCome say hi on Instagram | Facebook | YouTube

    275. Why Your Brain Is Addicted To Instant Gratification And What It Is Costing Your Next Level

    You published that post. You felt that instant gratification rush. And then three minutes later you were already refreshing the app to see how many views you got. That rush is not just a habit anymore. It is actively rewriting your subconscious beliefs about what is possible for you in your business, and it is happening way beneath your conscious awareness. Every time you check and find nothing, your brain files it as evidence. Evidence that it is not working, that results do not come easily to you, that maybe you are just someone who has to work harder than everyone else. And the worst part? That self sabotage behaviour is being supercharged by your brain's own dopamine loop, repeating itself multiple times a day without you even realising it. In today's episode I am getting into exactly what is happening in your brain when you expect instant results, why the self punishment that follows is one of the most damaging things you can do for your next level, and three things you can start doing right now to change your habits around this pattern and start building the right evidence in your subconscious programming instead. Topics covered on Instant Gratification:Why that instant gratification rush you get the moment you hit post is setting you up for a self sabotage cycle you do not even know you are inWhat your brain's dopamine loop is doing every time you refresh the app three minutes after postingWhy your subconscious beliefs about success are being written in real time without your conscious mind having any sayThe role of emotional intensity and repetition in subconscious programming and why it works against you just as powerfully as it works for youThree things you can do right now to change your habits around result checking and start filing the right evidence insteadWhat identity work has to do with your brain's prediction system and where the real shift happensHow changing your identity at the subconscious level is what finally makes the instant gratification cycle lose its grip Resources mentioned in this episode:Obviously, I Can Hold The Next Level: https://www.rebeccahaydon.com/obviously-i-can-hold-the-next-level Connect with Rebecca Haydon:Apply to work with meThe Subconscious MembershipCome say hi on Instagram | Facebook | YouTube

    274. Why You're Half In, Half Out In Your Business (And The Subconscious Reason You Can't Fully Commit)

    Sign Up to My Free Live Event You are doing all the things. Showing up, creating, working with clients, building something so amazing and still there is this little voice underneath it all, the sense that you are not fully in it yet. Half in half out feels like playing it safe and it is actually the most exhausting thing you can do. Because full commitment takes less energy than the negotiation happening inside you every single day. In this episode, I break down exactly what is running that negotiation at a subconscious level and how it's your brain's three most sophisticated filters working together to keep you exactly where your current map says you belong. You will learn what deletion, distortion and generalisation actually are, how they show up specifically in the way you create content, price your offers, and move through your days, and the three step process to start catching them, interrupting them and rewriting the map entirely. Journalling prompts from this episode:Deletion - catch what your brain has been filtering out If you knew your brain had been filtering out proof of how capable you actually are, what would it have been hiding from you? What results, moments or feedback have you filed away as not quite enough to count and what would change if you actually let them count? Distortion - find where you have been bending reality. Think about the last time something didn't go the way you wanted. What story did you make it mean about you, the real story, the one underneath the one you told out loud. What is the most accurate, most generous and most true interpretation of what actually happened? Generalisation - break the rule that became a life sentence. What is the rule you are living by right now about what is possible for you? Where did it come from? And what does the version of you who wrote that rule need to know now that she could not have known back then?

    273. Your Self Sabotage Has A Payoff That You Don't Know About. Here's How To Find Your Secondary Gain

    Secondary gain is the reason you keep pulling back every time things start working. Not because you're lazy. Not because you don't want it. But because your subconscious is getting something from keeping you exactly where you are. In today's episode, I'm walking you through the exact process I use with my 1:1 clients to find what causes self-sabotaging behaviours, the NLP techniques I use to uncover subconscious patterns running underneath, and the four prompts that will help you figure out what your secondary gain actually is. I'm also sharing a personal story from when I was a kid doing song and dance competitions that I only recently connected to why I pull back from visibility in my business. If you've ever asked yourself, "why do I self-sabotage when things are going well," this episode is going to hit differently. Grab a pen. You're going to need it!
