    NLP - SOARA method - Metaphors & accessing subconscious to release limiting beliefs. Zen & Em Blue Pylon Freedom Coaching.

    Emily and Zen conducted a coaching session using the SOARA method (Situation, Objective, Action, Result, Aftermath) from NLP to help Zen address personal challenges with relationships and inherited beliefs from her mother. Zen shared her situation of feeling isolated and suspicious in a developing romantic relationship, tracing back to childhood memories of being alone and neglected while her working mother was frequently absent. They created a metaphor using the Rapunzel story, where Zen identified her need to break down emotional walls and trust others, recognizing that the fears she carries are inherited rather than her own. Through the storytelling exercise, Zen reimagined her childhood as happy and fulfilling, with a loving family and supportive environment, ultimately creating a new narrative about personal empowerment and relationship freedom. Emily and Zen discussed how inherited fears from parents or grandparents can create self-limiting belief patterns that prevent people from forming relationships. They explored the concept of recognizing these fears as not being one's own, but rather generational beliefs that were projected onto the individual. Emily advised that by surrendering these inherited beliefs and trusting one's intuition, it becomes safe to open up to relationships without fear of disappointment. Relationship Patterns and Personal Growth Emily and Zen discussed relationship patterns and personal growth, with Zen reflecting on how past experiences affect current relationships. They worked on creating a story where Zen could envision breaking free from limiting beliefs about relationships and abundance, ultimately leading to a more fulfilling future. Zen expressed a desire to rewrite her childhood narrative with a happier ending, moving away from feelings of scarcity and toward a more abundant perspective on giving and receiving love. Building Joyful Family Experiences Zen shared a story about growing up in a loving family in Africa, describing beautiful sunsets and happy meals shared around the table. Emily guided Zen to rewrite the story as if telling it to a six-year-old and encouraged Zen to reflect on actions needed to build joy in the present. Zen decided to focus on creating positive experiences and would share this vision with new people, excluding those who don't align with this vision. Mental Transformation and Growth Zen shared a personal story about transforming past memories and breaking out of self-imposed limitations, comparing it to the Rapunzel tale of escaping a tower. They described how they transmuted negative memories into positive growth, using the metaphor of a seed growing into a tree with energy and life. Zen emphasized the power of mental transformation and creating new stories to live a better life. Gender Roles in Fairy Tales Zen and Emily discussed the use of metaphors and storytelling as a way to access the subconscious mind, particularly through the lens of fairy tales and their underlying messages about gender roles. Zen expressed frustration with traditional narratives where women are often depicted as prizes or in need of rescue, while men are portrayed as the heroes. They agreed on the importance of challenging cultural conditioning and embracing more equal partnerships.

    Story Business - Gain McMahon

    Gavin, an engineer turned business consultant, discussed his book which explores different genres of storytelling in business including value storytelling, product storytelling, brand storytelling, sales storytelling, leadership storytelling, and culture storytelling. They covered how companies like IKEA and Apple successfully create “world building” narratives that extend beyond their products, and how businesses must align with existing narrative constellations rather than trying to create entirely new frames. The conversation also touched on the challenges companies face with AI implementation, with Gavin explaining that AI creates a “validation tax” where the bottleneck shifts from creating content to checking its accuracy. Gavin revealed he’s currently working on a second book about driving organizational change, and the interview concluded with discussion about AI’s current limitations and future implications. Gavin and Emily discussed the power of narrative and language in shaping perceptions and influencing the subconscious mind. Emily explained her background in NLP (neuro-linguistic programming) and how it involves reframing reality through different perspectives and narratives. Gavin shared a study about how the words used to describe a car crash affected people’s perceptions of the speed involved, demonstrating how language can significantly impact memory and interpretation. Marketing Transformation and Storytelling Evolution Gavin explained that their work primarily involves helping companies transform their internal operations, with marketing organizations often serving as change agents within these transformations. He described how marketing in large companies has evolved from traditional advertising approaches to a more complex role involving daily customer interactions and internal storytelling across the entire organization. Gavin noted that storytelling has become increasingly important outside of the marketing department, as it requires influencing multiple internal stakeholders before marketing initiatives can be successfully implemented. Gavin and Emily discussed how information and stories about companies, whether positive or negative, can quickly spread and impact reputations. They explored the importance of authentic storytelling from the beginning to maintain a company’s image. Gavin outlined the structure of a book on storytelling, which covers the basics of storytelling, the neuroscience behind it, and different genres of business storytelling, including value storytelling, product storytelling, and brand storytelling. Gavin discussed the concept of world building in business, using examples like IKEA and Apple to illustrate how companies create cohesive brand stories that extend beyond their core products. He explained that these companies maintain detailed guidelines about their brand elements, including product naming conventions and character associations in media placements. The discussion highlighted how successful world building creates dedicated fanbases and enables companies to expand into related products that align with their brand narrative. Gavin discussed the progression from sales storytelling to leadership storytelling and finally to culture storytelling, emphasizing how these interconnected elements help align people and create shared context within organizations. When asked about incorporating these concepts into business planning, Gavin suggested starting with value storytelling and considering whether a new idea aligns with broader market trends, using the “rising tide floats all boats” principle as a framework for evaluating potential opportunities. Gavin and Emily discussed storytelling in business and marketing, with Gavin explaining how companies need to align with existing narrative constellations rather than creating frames from scratch. They explored examples like Dell’s historical positioning and how AI companies like Anthropic occupy multiple narrative positions.

    Mindset Manifestation Meditation - Blue Pylon Coaching S3 #23

    Emily conducted a meditation and coaching session focused on abundance manifestation and mindset transformation. She guided participants through a "blue pylon" visualization technique to break free from limiting beliefs and create a high-vibration state, explaining how negative conditioning from past experiences shapes reality and creates dis-ease in the body. Emily discussed the importance of becoming energetically aligned with desired outcomes before physical evidence appears, emphasizing that manifestation involves both mental state and nervous system regulation. She outlined three consciousness states - victim, hustler, and alchemist - and explained how awareness breaks patterns by observing thoughts and behaviors rather than being controlled by them. The session concluded with Emily offering one-to-one coaching services including NLP, hypnotherapy, and cognitive behavioral coaching for those interested in further transformation work. Abundance Meditation Session Emily led a meditation session focused on abundance, guiding participants to imagine a blue pyramid while visualizing feelings of abundance and wholeness. She instructed people to imagine themselves in a comfortable setting, such as standing on sand by the sea, and to bring those positive feelings into the present moment while visualizing the blue pyramid. Emily discussed the importance of identifying and challenging limiting beliefs to break free from negative narratives and allow for abundance. She suggested reframing these beliefs through meditation and contemplation to prevent them from causing physical and emotional dis-ease. Emily also encouraged acknowledging and giving space to pain, emphasizing the need to address and understand these limitations to improve overall well-being. Emily discussed how trapped emotions and misalignment with personal values can cause physical and mental dis-ease. She explained that these unresolved feelings affect a person's energy vibration, shaping their reality. Emily emphasized the importance of maintaining a high vibration, which involves visualizing the desired life and becoming the version of oneself that naturally aligns with that vision. Emily discussed how most people live in a mental loop where the brain unconsciously creates the past and searches for familiarity, leading to repetitive emotions and experiences. She explained that breaking out of this loop requires conscious realignment of thoughts and vibration, as the brain's survival-focused design causes it to constantly scan for danger and return to familiar patterns. Emily emphasized that manifestation involves not just mindset but also nervous system regulation, as the brain's different regions work together for safety, logic, and emotional responses. Em discussed how conditioning creates limitations through emotions like shame, guilt, and fear, which are often inherited unconsciously from childhood experiences and societal influences. She explained that while these conditioning patterns become emotional programs, they are not permanent identities and can be changed. Emily also described the concept of quantum leaping, explaining that transformation happens before evidence appears and that creators must believe in new possibilities before physical proof manifests, rather than waiting for evidence to believe. Em discussed the concept that consciousness shapes experience and how attention influences perception and energy flow. She explained that inner states can affect what people notice and attract, suggesting that individuals can influence their reality. Em emphasized the importance of embracing one's true self beyond fear and conditioning, encouraging others to dream big and consider what they would choose if nothing were impossible. Em discussed strategies for overcoming fear and limiting beliefs to manifest desired outcomes. She emphasized the importance of specificity in visualization and suggested embodying desired feelings as an alternative approach.
