    Gratitude and an Announcement

    We've officially reached 20 episodes of Creating an Empowered Life, and I want to extend my gratitude to you for listening, sharing, and being a part of this journey. Thank you. After 20 episodes, it feels like the right time to take a short creative break. I'll be stepping back briefly to revamp a few systems behind the scenes. In addition to the podcast, I'll be taking another look at the newsletter, the hypnosis sessions, and how everything connects. The goal is to make things smoother, more impactful, and even more aligned with the work we've been doing together. The first 20 episodes will remain available along with all the hypnosis sessions that can be found on my Substack, as well as all the articles that have been posted so far. If you haven't caught up yet, now's a great time, and of course, make sure to stay subscribed so when new content drops, you'll be the first to know. It won't be a long break. Just enough time to refocus and come back even stronger. Thank you again for being here. This is a public episode.

    Making Better Decisions with Cartesian Logic

    We all face decisions that feel complicated or emotionally charged. Sometimes it’s hard to tell what the right next step is or whether there even is a “right” answer. In this episode of Creating an Empowered Life, we explore a powerful decision-making tool from NLP called Cartesian Logic, a framework that helps you slow down, think clearly, and make more intentional choices. You’ll learn how to use four simple, thought-provoking questions to: 🔹 Access logic and emotion instead of relying on impulse 🔹 Uncover hidden fears and resistance 🔹 Make more aligned and confident decisions We’ll also walk through a real-world example and give you a practical way to apply this tool to your current situation.

    Rethinking "1% Better Every Day"

    You’ve probably heard the phrase “1% better every day.” It sounds motivating, and for some people, it is. Yet when you take a closer look, the phrase starts to fall apart. In this episode of Creating an Empowered Life, we break down why “1% better every day” isn’t as helpful as it seems. You’ll learn: 🔹 Why the phrase lacks the specificity needed to guide real progress 🔹 How the math behind it creates unrealistic expectations 🔹 What to focus on instead to create meaningful, lasting growth We also explore why the feeling behind the phrase resonates with people—and how to keep that energy while using language that’s more grounded, clear, and practical. 💬 Have a question you’d like Ray to answer on a future episode?
