    Beneath the Surface: The Dark Power of Your Subconscious Mind – Skill, Body & Transformation

    Ep. 126 The subconscious mind. It’s mysterious, dark, powerful – yet largely hidden beneath the surface. In psychodynamic therapy, the goal was to make the unconscious conscious. Think of the classic iceberg metaphor: the visible tip above water is the conscious mind, while the vast bulk beneath the surface is the subconscious. That hidden iceberg under deep, dark waters hints at enormous power. But here’s the truth: the subconscious mind isn’t only ominous—it’s a game-changer. It can elevate your performance in any skill. It can shift how your body responds—not unlike the visceral reaction you feel when you look over the edge of a tall building. That physical, electric “something happening” effect shows just how real the subconscious is. And even more: we can speak directly to that hidden part of the mind. Through suggestion framed in the immediate moment rather than the distant future, we can trigger measurable improvement—whether it’s skill mastery or body healing. In other words: when you engage the subconscious right now, you activate what you thought was hidden—and watch transformation happen. Why this matters: Because 95% of our mental processes live below the surface—and that’s where true change gets made. manifestationbabe.com+1Because when you tap into that powerful under-water iceberg of your mind, you don’t just think differently—you respond differently, physically and mentally.Because framing suggestions in the “now” triggers direct subconscious shifts, bypassing resistance and giving you real results.  If you’re ready to explore how the subconscious mind can help you perform better, heal faster, or unlock a new level of being—this is your entry point. Take care and walk well. Hey folks, let me know what you think about the Running Man Podcast. Let me know where you're from and how you are doing in your little part of the world!

    Why Your Ego Isn't the Enemy—It's Your Wake-Up Call

    Ep 125.  The Power of 'I'—How Language Shapes Your Identity & Self-Worth"  In a world where values like honesty, integrity, loyalty, and authenticity are praised, many of us struggle with living up to them—especially in the age of social media. Our ego identity—the part of us tied to group belonging, image, and perception—is shaped by the environments we grow up in: families, schools, communities, and now global digital tribes. But have you ever asked yourself: Who am I when no one is watching? The words we speak—to others and especially to ourselves—craft our internal self-image. That image, our "persona," is built over years, sometimes unconsciously. And it's fragile. "I" statements are powerful—they show ownership and accountability.  Stop Saying 'You'—The Secret Language That’s Sabotaging Your Self-Image "You" statements often project blame. "We" statements can be inclusive but may blur individual responsibility. The language we use isn't just communication—it's the architecture of our self-worth. We often tie accountability to shame or punishment, making it hard to admit when we've failed or hurt others. Why? Because we've protected that inner image of "me" since childhood. But here’s the truth: owning your story is not weakness—it’s freedom. If you want to heal, grow, and lead, start by paying attention to your internal dialogue. Be kind to yourself. Speak with intention. Take ownership. The journey begins not with others, but with how you speak to you. Transform your mindset. Own your voice. Walk well.

    You Were Never Just a Role: Breaking Free From False Identities & Living Authentically

    Ep 124.  Are You Living Under a False Identity? So many of us—at every age—struggle with feeling different, like the black sheep, the outsider, or the misunderstood original in a world that demands conformity. We say we want to be “unique,” but what we often mean is: we want to be free. This deep inner tension is not rebellion for its own sake. It's the natural, human desire to grow—to separate from the roles and identities we’ve inherited. Roles like caregiver, provider, parent, or problem-solver. These roles may serve us or even protect us at one point, but they can become cages. And eventually, something inside us starts to shift. Our perspective changes. Our desires wake up. What once felt comfortable starts to feel confining. We begin to question: Who am I outside of what I do? What if there's more? This episode explores the spiritual and psychological journey of shedding false identities, embracing your true self, and stepping into the life you were meant to live—not the life handed to you. These invisible ceilings? They’re not real. They’re often installed by fear—ours or someone else’s. And we can break through them. You are not too late, not too old, not too lost. You are simply being called to remember.🔥 Let’s explore how to break through self-imposed limitations, transcend outdated roles, and live a life with no ceiling. Your authentic life begins the moment you stop asking for permission. You won’t be qualified before you start. You’ll be qualified by doing. Come as you are. Walk well.  Hey folks, let me know what you think about the Running Man Podcast. Let me know where you're from and how you are doing in your little part of the world!

  4. The Hidden Power of Self-Talk: Why Fear Is a Language Problem

    The Hidden Power of Self-Talk: Why Fear Is a Language Problem

    Ep 123. Why Fear Controls You – And How to Take Back Power Through Language Fear is not just an emotion—it’s a biological signal, a deep-rooted response to the unknown, the overwhelming, or the lightning-fast changes we can’t yet process. This hardwired reaction is what drives human adaptation and survival. But here’s where it gets interesting: when language enters the equation, fear becomes more than a reflex—it becomes a belief. Our inner dialogue, or self-talk, often acts like a hidden algorithm—shaping how we interpret reality. It can convince us of danger where there is none, trigger anxiety without reason, and sabotage opportunities before we even try. Why? Because the language we use—especially the exaggerated, negative, or fearful words—tricks our brain into reacting as if failure is guaranteed. Most people don’t fail because of reality—they fail because of belief. The belief, rooted in unchecked language, that they’re not enough, not ready, or not capable. This is not a failure of skill, but a failure of speech—internal speech. The real transformation begins when you learn to discipline your language. When you shift your self-talk, you shift your nervous system, your mindset, and your outcomes. Fear might be automatic, but staying afraid is a choice—one we make through the words we repeat to ourselves every day. Want to stop sabotaging your future? Start by changing your inner dialogue.  Your Brain Believes What You Say – Language Creates Fear & Failure   Think clearly. Speak powerfully.

    Unmasking the Inner Critic: The Hidden Voice Holding You Back (And How to Silence It)

    Ep 122. Unlocking the Power of Your Inner Voice: Break Free from Limiting Beliefs and Rewrite Your Mental Programming As human beings, we all share a universal experience: we are shaped by our environment and those who raise us—from parents and extended family to modern-day mentors, teachers, and caregivers. These early influences imprint powerful messages on our minds, often through their actions, voices, and words. These messages form the foundation of how we navigate the world, solve problems, and stay safe. But there’s a shadow side to this inner programming. When caregivers are under stress, the guidance we receive—though often well-intentioned—can come laced with criticism, guilt, shame, or fear. This emotional residue embeds itself deep within our subconscious, especially during formative stages of brain development, shaping what psychologists call the “superego”—an internalized voice that criticizes, doubts, and limits us. Over time, this inner critic can become like a collar and leash—subtly controlling our every move, creating self-doubt, anxiety, and even sabotaging our ability to succeed, thrive, and live freely. It's the reason so many of us feel stuck, held back by fear, perfectionism, or a nagging sense of "not being enough." But here’s the truth: this voice isn’t you. It’s a recording, a protective mechanism gone rogue. And once we become aware of it—truly aware—we gain the power to break its hold and rewrite the script. ✅ Learn how to identify this internal voice ✅ Discover how it formed during your early development ✅ Gain practical tools to override outdated programming ✅ Finally reclaim your voice, your power, and your life This is the first step in self-regulation—not by suppressing the inner voice, but by understanding it, and rising above its limitations.

    When Danger Looks Beautiful: The Hidden Cost of Stress-Based Decisions

    Ep 121. Why We Lose Intelligence Under Stress – The Science of Survival Decisions When we're in a high-stress situation—facing threat, fear, trauma, shock, or emotional overwhelm—our brain shifts gears. It doesn’t matter how smart you are; under stress and threat, your rational brain takes a back seat. You literally lose access to your full intelligence—your measurable IQ drops. Why? Because your body prioritizes survival. When you enter a fight, flight, freeze, or fawn response, your skeletal muscles and primitive brain functions take over. This is your Body Alarm Reaction. In this state, the brain can't afford the luxury of slow, logical thinking. You don't analyze the floor when it's collapsing—you run. This is why cognitive function is overridden during emergencies, arguments, panic attacks, or trauma. Your body reacts before your brain has time to think. Thinking is too slow in a gunfight. And it’s too slow when you’re emotionally overwhelmed, spiraling in anxiety, or facing relational conflict. In these moments, we don’t think clearly—we feel first. And feelings distort thinking. This makes us vulnerable to poor decisions, risky behavior, and false assumptions—like trusting someone dangerous just because they seem attractive, familiar, or comforting in the moment. This is known as “When the dangerous looks beautiful.” It’s a brain shortcut meant to reduce perceived threat quickly, but it often backfires—leading us from the frying pan into the fire. We also tend to misjudge others, project our emotional state onto them, and assume they’ll respond like we would. But they don’t. And sometimes, that can result in conflict, even violence, simply because we overestimated the similarity between us. Bottom line? Assumptions are dangerous. Stress distorts our reality. To stay safe and connected, we must learn to pause, breathe, and restore our ability to reason—even when everything in us wants to react. 🧠 Your mind under pressure isn’t broken—it’s just trying to protect you. But we must practice how to re-engage our higher brain, especially in moments when it matters most. Take care of your nervous system. Train your calm. Think before you speak.  choose wisely, walk well. Hey folks, let me know what you think about the Running Man Podcast.

    Somatic Empathy: The Hidden Superpower Your Body Uses Before Your Brain Reacts

    Ep 120.  The Hidden Power of Somatic Empathy: How Your Body Feels Before Your Brain Thinks Empathy is more than just understanding someone’s feelings—it's a core human superpower that shapes every interaction, both at home and in the marketplace. But what if true empathy doesn’t start in the mind? What if it begins in the body? Enter somatic empathy—a powerful, often unconscious form of empathy that happens in the body before the brain even registers what’s going on. This pre-verbal, gut-level awareness lets you feel the emotional energy, vibe, or atmosphere of a person, room, or situation. It’s the sixth sense we’ve all experienced but rarely talk about—the moment you "just know" something is off, or when someone’s presence instantly makes you feel safe, anxious, or energized. Somatic empathy is the neurobiological foundation of emotional intelligence. It's the internal signal that influences your perception, your reasoning, and even your behavior—before logic ever gets a chance. Whether you're reading body language in a negotiation, connecting deeply with a loved one, or sensing danger before it’s visible, your body knows first. Understanding somatic empathy isn't just helpful—it’s transformational. By tuning into these embodied signals, we can strengthen emotional resilience, make better decisions, and build more authentic connections. This inner awareness empowers leaders, healers, creators, and everyday people to communicate more effectively, avoid burnout, and live with deeper alignment. 💡 Learn how to master your inner vibe, decode energy in any room, and rewire how you experience human connection—from the inside out.

    You Are Not Your Thoughts: The Hidden Science of Consciousness and Behavior

    Ep 119. Unlocking the Science of Consciousness: How the Brain Shapes Your Reality and Future Since the dawn of human evolution, our brains have developed powerful survival mechanisms—rooted in consciousness and self-awareness. But what if your sense of self, your thoughts, and even your reactions to stress aren’t fully you—but just patterns shaped by your brain and environment? This is where neuroscience meets personal transformation. The Default Mode Network (DMN)—a core brain system—activates when you reflect on yourself, especially under stress or uncertainty. It's where your "narrative self" lives—the internal story you tell about who you are. But here's the game-changer: Your brain’s interpretation of threats—like words or criticism—isn’t always accurate. Much of what we perceive as danger is filtered through belief systems built by past experiences. What feels like reality may just be a prediction. In those critical moments between stimulus and response lies a timeless space—a moment of awareness where you can choose how to act. This space is the key to self-regulation, emotional mastery, and ultimately, rewriting your personal destiny. Understanding this science-backed insight can help you overcome automatic reactions, take control of your behavior, and shape your future intentionally—not reactively. Your brain writes the story. But you can become the author. Walk consciously. Live deliberately. Walk well.  Hey folks, let me know what you think about the Running Man Podcast.
