Insightful conversation with Blake Lefkoe on breaking free from limiting beliefs, embracing authenticity, and unlocking personal growth through the Lefkoe Method
What if the beliefs holding you back could be shattered, opening the door to a more fulfilling life? On this episode of the Overcomers Approach podcast, we sit down with Blake Lefkoe, who shares how her late father's Lefkoe Method has been a game-changer for countless individuals seeking personal transformation. Blake takes us on a journey through her own life, illustrating the power of breaking free from limiting beliefs that act as invisible shackles. Together, we uncover stories of people who have harnessed this method to overcome anxiety, procrastination, and societal pressures, ultimately unlocking new paths for personal and professional growth.
Blake's path from the bustling restaurant industry to a rewarding career in personal development shines a light on the transformative potential of eliminating self-imposed barriers. She passionately discusses the individualized nature of personal healing, sharing compelling anecdotes of clients who have reshaped their lives by addressing core beliefs tied to self-esteem and societal expectations. From battling procrastination and self-doubt to discovering authenticity, we explore the profound impact of challenging subconscious patterns that have shaped one's life from childhood into adulthood.
Throughout our conversation, Blake's heartfelt gratitude for her journey and the connections she makes with clients stands out. She chooses a personal touch over social media, offering free consultations through her website to foster genuine relationships. This conscious decision aligns with her message of living authentically and connects deeply with the audience. As we reflect on the wisdom imparted by Blake, there's an overwhelming sense of appreciation for the insights shared and their potential to be a beacon of positive change in our listeners' lives.

Thank you for listening!
Good day everyone. This is Nicole Ellis McGregor, the Overcomers Approach podcast founder. I am so honored to have Blake Lefkoe here today and really she is here to really talk about the Lefkoe method, a method that her late father had created, which I think is so empowering and profound for people to overcome limiting beliefs so they can move to their fullest purpose. And I'm sure that there's so much more that she's going to add to this and I greatly appreciate it. And it really falls in alignment with what I want to provide for the listeners today, and my listeners come from different backgrounds, different experiences, different walks of life, but the overarching theme is that we can overcome no matter what we deal with in life. And, blake, I want to honor you and thank you for being a guest on my show today and I just want to give a brief intro for you before we get started. And you're dedicated to helping people transform their lives by breaking free from beliefs that hold them back.
Speaker 1:Blake is a facilitator of the Left Coat Method, a powerful process developed by her late father that helps people eliminate limiting beliefs that keep people stuck in their unwanted emotional and behavioral patterns. After going on her own transformative journey, overcoming addiction and rediscovering the method. She's now passionate about guiding others to live healthier, happier lives, aligned with their true passions and values. From helping clients break unhealthy patterns to creating a life of fulfillment for herself, blake is here to share her wisdom on living authentically with purpose. Thank you, blake. I am so honored to have you here today and, just to get started, could you tell us a little bit about the Lefkoe Method? Thank you.
Speaker 2:Yes. So the promise of the method is that our beliefs determine our life. They determine how we see things, what shows up for us, everything. So by eliminating beliefs that are keeping you stuck, you just open yourself up to so much possibility. And the way that we work is first you find a behavioral or an emotional pattern. So what's something you want to change? What's something you're doing that you don't want to be doing? What's something you're not doing you do want to be doing. So there's a lot of people come to work on procrastination, anxiety, kind of that negative self-talk, people pleasing addiction, depression, anything. I had one woman who was like I have to be a lawyer because that's what my parents told me.
Speaker 2:And I'm not well and I'm not happy, but I can't stop being a lawyer. And we worked five sessions. She started her own business. Own business, I mean just completely like was able to break free of this thing. She had just felt like she had no option. No, other option yeah really, you know, it's not. Uh, there's there's no limit to to what we can work on, and as you start to eliminate beliefs, especially these kind of core self-esteem beliefs, it's not just the pattern that changes, but everything starts to change.
Speaker 2:So, I really started working on myself. My parenting started to change. The people in my life started to change, my career changed. Who showed up in my life, how they showed up in my life? My friends, my partner, the house I lived in. I mean just everything. Because when you believe, you know I'm not good enough which is the most common belief that people have that's what you see, that's what you look for, that's what you find, see. See, there's another example of I'm not good enough yes belief goes away all of a sudden.
Speaker 2:You're like oh, that didn't work out. But I realized that didn't work out because this thing was actually better and if I had gone to that job I would have never gotten that job. It's not that I'm not good enough, but that wasn't the job aligned with me exactly. We can't open ourselves to those possibilities because we're like no, it's me, it's my fault.
Speaker 1:Yes, yes, thank you. I so appreciate that and I could totally relate to that. You know, I could totally relate to having limiting beliefs in my life that kept me stuck, that kept me in a state of fear, and then I was kind of projecting out what I felt was, you know, my issue, whether it was I didn't belong, they don't like me, I'm not smart enough. There's so many lists that we can go down and I think too, when you and then when you have an experience that where you go like, oh yeah, see, I told you, you know I wasn't good enough.
Speaker 1:Experience, that where you go like, oh yeah, see, I told you, you know I wasn't good enough, you know something pops up, but sometimes we're actually that belief is really manifesting for that to somewhat happen. Just like you said, once you begin to change your like thought process, then things fell into alignment. You know the home, the partner, the way you parent, the way you seen things like. I could so totally identify with that, because those limiting beliefs can keep us in a box and there's so much more to life, there's so much more to our possibilities, there's so much to our gifts and talents, but if we don't get out of that box we're.
Speaker 2:We're going to be stuck and it's funny because I I actually use that as an analogy really often like a belief. It's like a cage, right, it's like a box. We're stuck in this box and, yeah, I believe it's like taking the cage or opening the box up and you don't have to do anything differently. But now you have the option, now you have the possibility.
Speaker 1:Yeah, we're like what if I?
Speaker 2:don't want to change, I'm like you don't have to. But now you have the option, Now you have the possibility. People are like what if I don't want to change?
Speaker 1:I'm like you don't have to, but now you have the option Exactly.
Speaker 2:That's so interesting is that I found there's such an energetic piece to it and it's like when you eliminate a belief, your energy changes right. So what's going to show up in your world is going to change. And if you have the belief that life is hard and relationships don't work and you have to work really hard for money and money doesn't come easily to me and money is scarce and you eliminate those beliefs, like all of a sudden things are going to start coming to you that weren't able to before, because you weren't. I don't know how to say this without sounding kind of cheesy, but it's like you're vibrating a level where those vibrations can't get to you.
Speaker 2:I believe that. And it's incredible because I've had so many sessions with people. I had a session with this woman once and I can't remember the specific belief, but it was something about know I'm not worthy, I'm not deserving, I'm not good enough. One of those and we hung up the phone and as we hung up, somebody called her and was like I just saw your website and I really want to work with you wow like instantaneous and stuff like that happens all the time.
Speaker 2:People get rid of money, beliefs and like a check shows up in the mail, yeah, opening yourself. You know that the whole idea of manifesting right, we block what we're willing to let in. Yes, we believe that life is hard and life doesn't work and it's a struggle and good things don't happen. To me, they're not going to, that's right. And if they do, you can't see them. You're still. I'm waiting for the other shoe to drop. Oh, I mean, that's going to happen and you still can't see it. Appreciate it, enjoy it. Yes, so it's just such, a such a huge transformation.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I totally agree with you and I do believe, like it's definitely, you know, it's definitely we are. What's in us, the energy that's in us has so many capabilities. You know what the potential that's in us is, so probably even larger than we can comprehend, and I could totally relate to that. So I know some of my friends would listen to some stories on social media and I was like I can't entertain that. I just can't.
Speaker 1:Some things I can't entertain because I don't want to give myself that message. I don't entertain some stories because I don't even want to take it in. I said, you know, there's some truths out there that I do agree with, but we have to know that we're most the most powerful vessel, like, and the information that we have in us is so profound and so broad, like, and so we have to just expand that capability for us to even manifest that, like you said, because if we walk around and say we're not going to make enough money, you know I can't move here, I can't travel here and sometimes, like you said, some things will just show up. You know, like me and my husband relocated and we come from a small town in Minnesota and a lot of people are like no, don't go like the world is scary outside of minnesota and we were just kind of like what?
Speaker 1:not everybody, but somewhere we're just like he was like no, it's time for us to go. We really didn't even know, like, where we were moving to. We just knew we started packing. They're like where are you going? We was like we have no idea. We know we're going to buy another house. We're going to sell our house. Do we have a buyer yet? No, do we know we're going to buy? We just started moving in motion when you trust.
Speaker 2:Yeah, that's going to work out it just does.
Speaker 1:Yeah, yeah. So I totally, totally agree with you. How did you um because I know I read in your vial like you had to overcome some things yourself and reintroduce yourself to the lefkoe method how did you walk through that process and I love it because it's authentic and it's real transparent Go ahead. Yes, no, I and I want people, our listeners, to know, like sometimes you, if, for whatever reason, you, you move away from a path to go back, alignment is a real thing and so, and so some people feel like, oh, if I moved away or if something happened and you move away from a path to go back to alignment is a real thing. And so some people feel like, oh, if I moved away or if something happened or if I made a mistake, I don't even want to try again. And I just think that for you to speak to that, because you have some lived experience on that, please tell us more.
Speaker 2:Well, I grew up in a house with two parents and that's what they did with two parents that field and that's what they did. That's what they talked about at dinner. That was, you know, they worked out of the house, they had offices. I said that was just the conversation. That was how I grew up and I was just like how a lot of kids are, with what their parents do. They're just like, well, I, I don't want that, I just want to remember. So I was like I don't want personal growth, I don't want self, I just want to have so much fun. You know, I just want to smoke and drink and party and boys and travel. And yeah, and I did it like my gosh. I just, you know, I had so much fun and I traveled and I got into surfing and skydiving. It wasn't just drinking for fun.
Speaker 2:It started to be expressing feelings and not attracting healthy people in my life and not attracting healthy men and having friendships I don't want to say fail, because I don't like that word, but friendships that didn't weren't sustainable and there was just kind of a suppression piece that got bigger and bigger. Right, I woke up in my late thirties. I was a single mom, I was a bartender. I was just drinking way too much.
Speaker 2:You know, using other substances. I was, I wasn't um, and I just woke up one day and I had just broken up with another boyfriend and it was just like my back was out and I was out of the water. I'm like an avid water woman, so that's like one of my mechanisms, right surfing every moment I had.
Speaker 2:I couldn't do this and it had been halloween weekend and I worked a bunch and drinking at work and partying and my son trick or treating and parties with his friends. And I woke up in the morning and I was like, what, like? What is this Like? How did you get here?
Speaker 1:Yes.
Speaker 2:I was just like this is not fulfilling, this is not sustainable, like this is just, and it really was like a moment where I was like I can't, I just can't do this anymore and I went and I sat in a plant ceremony ceremony and sorry, plant medicine ceremony and I found my way back to the process and I had this available to me that I was just so incredibly lucky and I started doing sessions and eliminating beliefs and I got sober and after three decades I got out of the restaurant industry and I started my own business and I got trained in the lefkoe method. I took a year and trainings and the certifications and started working a job or started a career that, like it's so fulfilling. I love it.
Speaker 2:I love my clients like I have a client who came and like we're still pen pals, we just like email each other all the time we're all other stuff and it's not like therapy, where you kind of go and you sit and like you know, I use examples from my own life and like, make myself vulnerable and I'm like, yeah, I did it, like I went through this and I did this and I know what that's like and it's really a relatable thing. And to help people get unstuck and to find the freedom and to leave toxic relationships or to leave unhealthy jobs or to start putting themselves first or to to start. I mean, there's so many people that just live in fear and they have to believe I'm not safe. They have to do all these things to feel safe and this anxiety and this depression, and to help people move forward in that, yes, and break free from those patterns and then get to a point where they're living this healthy, sustainable life.
Speaker 2:And then it's like, amazing, now that we're here, what do you want your life to look like and what's in the way of you living it? And that is so exciting, right? Because it's not just well, I don't want to be depressed, it's like I want to live a life aligned with my passions and values. How do I live an authentic life? Because everyone thinks that life is supposed to look like this and relationships are supposed to look like this, and you're supposed to get this kind of job and work this many hours, buy a house? No, life can look like whatever you want it to. You've just got to get rid of all the garbage in the way of some people don't even know what they want. A lot of people have the belief what I want isn't important, I don't matter, I'm not important. And and when you get rid of that and people can start actually getting in touch with what they want and how?
Speaker 2:they want to live yeah what's keeping you from doing that? Let's work on those beliefs and get you there yes yeah, it's so fulfilling and I love it and I have such an incredible relationship with my son and I attracted an amazing man into my life. Every day I'm just like how are you right After 40 years of just like okay.
Speaker 1:I love it. I love it, so yeah.
Speaker 2:So, just to kind of wrap up, it was getting back to this work because I was ready for it, because I wanted it, because I needed it. But I had to take the path that I had to take to get there. And if I had kind of just been spoon fed it and bought into it as a child and just grew up doing it, it wouldn't, it wouldn't be the same as it is now. I had to go on that journey.
Speaker 1:Yes, well, first of all, I want to say congratulations on overcoming in so many areas, like you said, addictions and being in a career that no longer fulfilled you and attracting the quality man that you deserve and having the relationship with your son that is probably even greater than you could ever. You know the love. Like I have kids, so I get it. I have two biological sons and six. Me and my husband have six kids, blended family and just, yeah, the love that's there that you just every day it's something new and fresh, even with the kids, and so I can definitely relate to that and I you know. Congratulations and just for someone who's lived it and who is walking this journey and who's had to walk this journey and, like you said, it's something that you had to do but it brought you here to where you are today and there's something to be said for you. Having that experience so people could really understand and relate, and that transparency and that authenticity Wow, I just say that's amazing.
Speaker 1:My next question is what do you feel like the most most people struggle with? What do you see like across the board? Is there? Is there like a common theme that people are dealing with in terms of their belief system these days, or is it just really broad? I know the pandemic kind of did a number on us too as well and we're still kind of recovering post pandemic and I think social media has been helpful for us. But at the same time it might be a little hindrance if you get on there and look what everybody else is doing and if you're not where you think you are. So what do you see most people dealing with these days, or what are your thoughts on that?
Speaker 2:yeah, that's. I'm trying to think like like my current clients right now um procrastination is a big one yeah, and that's kind of a self-confidence is a big one. Yeah, people um, I have one woman that I'm working with that just like has a lot of regret for the decisions that she's made and that is keeping her stuck, okay, and just kind of miserable and can't move on. Yes, people pleasing is a big one. And so there's another piece to this right, because there's the beliefs.
Speaker 1:Yes.
Speaker 2:And there's the patterns, but there's also a piece. So it's subconscious, right, but as a child, walk around asking why? Yeah?
Speaker 1:Right.
Speaker 2:Our parents. You know they don't give us the attention that we need or they're criticizing us. Their parents didn't go to parenting school, right, so they're doing the best job. They know how they're doing what their parents didn't go to parenting school right, so they're doing the best job. They know how they're doing what their parents did. They've got their own issues. They've got their own substance.
Speaker 2:You know the parents across the board right yes and so we look at that and we go why is dad always working? Why is he busy? Yeah, oh, it must be because I'm not important.
Speaker 1:Or you're crazy.
Speaker 2:Why did you get a B? Why didn't you get an A?
Speaker 1:Why did?
Speaker 2:you get a varsity, why didn't you? And we go oh, I guess it's just because I'm not good enough.
Speaker 1:Right.
Speaker 2:So it's hard to go through life with a belief like that.
Speaker 1:Yes.
Speaker 2:Include. I'm not good enough. It's not conscious, right, and that's how kind thinking the story we tell ourselves. What happens is we do something and we get positive attention. So for some people it's achieving. Yes, for women sometimes it's looking pretty yes you be anything right. So imagine every time you bring home an A or you win the spelling bee or you make varsity, your parents are like oh, we're so proud of you. Good job, we love you. Oh, I see the way to be good enough is to succeed.
Speaker 2:Yes or to achieve things or is to be perfect, and then you go through life feeling like what makes you good enough?
Speaker 1:are your achievements. Yeah.
Speaker 2:And you see it in people, because there's people that want to achieve things, and they do, and that people that want to achieve things and they do, and that's great, yeah, you're so driven in an unhealthy way, yeah, and never reach that thing because they feel like, if they don't like, that's what makes them good enough, right, so it's like oh I really want to spend more time with my family and this weekend I'm going to and then a business meeting comes up and they're like, oh god, but I have to, I have to, I have to achieve, I have to go freedom.
Speaker 2:You're stuck in this cycle. Feeling like this thing is is your survival is dependent upon it. Again, it's not conscious, but there's a lot of people you know. What makes me worthy is making money.
Speaker 2:What makes me successful is is people pleasing right. What makes me okay is making people people is having people think well of me. Yes, constantly putting other people before you because you feel like that's what makes you okay so when you, when you realize this, you can eliminate the beliefs and the survival strategies yes, you can still thrive for perfection, you can still achieve, you can still make money, but it doesn't feel like your life depends on it.
Speaker 1:That's right.
Speaker 2:Where you come from is totally different. And that's a really amazing piece of it, and another because of that. A lot of times people talk themselves out of their beliefs. No, no. I'm lovable because I know my kid loves me and I know my mom loves me. But if you believe something, you don't have to spend any energy talking yourself out of it.
Speaker 1:That's right.
Speaker 2:Right. So affirmations if you have to wake up in the morning and tell yourself I'm good enough and I'm this and I'll have clients be like no, no, I know I'm good enough and I'm this and you know I'll have clients be like, no, no, I know I'm good enough because this and this and this and this and I'm like, but do you have to do that every day? Like how much energy do you spend telling yourself that you're good enough?
Speaker 2:right say the belief out loud, you'll just say I'm not good enough, right, you know? And they're like that feels terrible. Yeah, I'm a monkey. And they're like, yes, well, if you didn't believe I'm not good enough, it would feel so. It would feel like yeah, crappy to say it yeah then some. On some level you have that belief and if you get rid of it, you no longer have to spend the energy talking yourself out of it.
Speaker 1:It's yeah, and you can spend that energy on anything else yes, yeah, I totally agree and I and I totally I can identify with some of the common themes. Like you said, some of the clients that you're currently working with you know procrastination, people pleasing I can definitely relate to that and trying to move in a much healthier direction. I think, like you said, we could still strive for perfection, but it sounds like if we could just make it really more balanced and more genuine and really coming from the heart and get so much out of our heads sometimes, then things could be a little bit more balanced in terms of you know how we approach life and what we put a lot of energy to, and to walk around in this life with the weight of like having to be perfect or I can only be loved if I achieve. Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1:And people pleasing is exhausting, you know, I can relate to that and and in, the goalposts will constantly move.
Speaker 1:If you're constantly like you, like you said, you can achieve, achieve, achieve, promotion, promotion, promotion, titles, titles, titles.
Speaker 1:Yeah, the goalpost is constantly going to move, you know. Or if you're used to being a leader in a certain environment and someone else comes along to lead in a different way and bring more innovation, then you could be an alignment of collaboration and partnership versus competitiveness, because we're bringing our own unique gifts and talents to the space. So I can totally identify with that, identify with that and that just makes me very excited because I see so many people still being, you know, kind of burdened down with these beliefs that keep them kind of stuck. And so whenever I come into alignment, I meet people who are on this other frequency or whatever you know you want to call it vibration or higher calling it brings people just a much richer, much more healthier, much more holistic, balanced life, so they can do a lot of other things that was so key and that was something the more that I worked on myself, because I I still have- um mentors that that taught me how to do this, and we'll trade almost weekly.
Speaker 2:You know, stuff comes out and the cool thing about this is it's not like therapy and that you don't go every week for the rest of your life you know, five, ten sessions.
Speaker 2:I have clients that have had a lot of trauma and a lot of and they'll stay longer yeah you get to a point where you're like I'm in a really good place, yeah, because your work is done. I mean, of course, your work is never done, there's all this thing and all that, but you get to a place where you are living a life that is authentic and that does feel good.
Speaker 2:And that's so powerful in that you know you keep doing your spiritual work and your growth and your healing and your learning and all that, but but you get rid of that garbage and it's gone. No integration, you don't have to do anything. There's no tips or tricks you have to remember. You don't just post post-it notes on your fridge, it's just gone. You get rid of the beliefs and they are gone, and your life just changes as a result. Yes, Finding that balance is like an amazing I want to call it like a side effect Right Of doing this work, and that was such a huge piece. For me is, like you know, finding a balance of I love being in the ocean and it's like what brings me so much passion and joy. And if I can't, I'm still okay.
Speaker 1:Yes.
Speaker 2:And so it's just like you know, ocean time and my son and being there for all his baseball and to drive him into games and to this, and to fully be able to support him and his wants and his needs and every moment that he'll give me, because yes ready and time for myself and my partner and my business and that's such a hard thing to do is balance, because we're always putting all too much energy somewhere.
Speaker 2:Yes, in work. Yes, everything else suffers. Yes, you start getting rid of beliefs like I'm not important and I don't matter and this, and that you start taking care of yourself and your life becomes so much more sustainable and you have more energy to give other people, because people put your own mask on first If you take care of yourself you are able to show up at your job better, and as a parent better and as a parent better and to as a friend better and everything.
Speaker 2:And you know, it's just. It really this work really touches every area of your life. Cool because you don't even have to look at some of those areas, it just overflows into that.
Speaker 1:I love it. Get in the flow. I definitely can relate to that and that really speaks to just the place that I'm moving in. I know that some of my listeners are. I'm going to have one more question and we'll wrap it up. My question is one I have a comment. Then I have a question.
Speaker 1:I love the fact that you said that people come in at different. It's more individualized. So people come in at different spaces and places, maybe more trauma in some place or different life experiences, or maybe it's going to take them a little longer to get to whatever their goal they have established. And I like that part because some people may need five sessions, some people may make ten, some people may need 12 months or I'm sure they may do five and may need to do a re-up, you know, two years later because something might have happened. And so I love the fact that it's more not so prescribed, but more individualized to speak to the person and what they went through. So I love that. My last question is what would you tell your 18-year-old? Go ahead.
Speaker 2:Go ahead. One quick thing. I worked with one woman who came in and she was procrastinating so hard she got to the point where she couldn't even look at her phone. She had her own business ran a tattoo shop and she couldn't order supplies. She just got to this wall Like I couldn't do anything and we got rid of the belief I'm not good enough. She went out. Since then I ran into her the other day she's opened two more businesses. Wow, she's opened a community center.
Speaker 2:She is like on fire. I love it. I was like you had one session. She's like I know and I've been completely unstoppable ever since.
Speaker 1:Yes, I love it.
Speaker 2:Not all, it doesn't always happen like that, but sometimes there's like the one thing that's holding us back and it's like clear that and just the world opens to you.
Speaker 1:That's right. There's so many possibility. The world opens up, and so I loved hearing that story because people need to know that's a definite possibility and sometimes it's just one belief that they got to get over with somebody. It may be one, it may be multiple, but just to what's, what's very real, what's very possible, and so thank you for sharing. Blake, what would you tell your 18 year old self, if you can go back, cause you've had this journey and you circled back at Lefkoe and now you have this life, amazing life, and you know, still doing the balancing but really empowering other people to live to their fullest potential. Going back to looking at yourself at 18, what would you tell Blake now, like, what would you say to her?
Speaker 2:nothing, god, I love it. Everything I went through to get here now, and if anything had been different then I wouldn't be here now. So I love it, I love it I think the one thing that I, I don't know I wouldn't say anything there, there's a part of me that wants to be like every time you hug your dad, like, hug him a little bit longer yes, yes forever, forever.
Speaker 2:You know, yeah, yeah, I could, I could, totally. The principle is that, yeah, my life I did to get here and I love here, so I wouldn't change anything.
Speaker 1:I love it. I love the fact that you said nothing because you had to take the journey, and I love the fact that you know, uh, being a child and having a parent, um, just having reflecting back, you know, on times we have with them and really cherishing those moments, and I think that speaks to a message for other people. That's a message for other people Hug your parents a little longer, show them grace, all those things that come with being a child, and so I definitely can relate to what you said and I will take that in for myself. My dad is still present. I know our days are numbered. He's sun setting, you know, but I definitely will reach out to my dad and just we're not in the same state, but just give some words of exchange, you know, and so time is so powerful.

But he means he means it with total love, but it brings a certain level. Yeah, it brings a certain level of stress and to we get to, just we get to walk this journey.

Speaker 1:Okay.
Speaker 2:I will respond to that. Also, if some people don't want to go to websites or whatever, yeah, hit me up and see how I can help you, or tell me your story or anything. Yeah, and just one last kind of note to end on when you switch your perspective on something, anything is possible. Whether it's guilt, fear, trauma, anything that you have gone through, it's not the event that causes the emotion. It's the meaning that we give to the event that causes the emotion. Events in and of themselves don't mean anything. Yes, we feel the meaning and then we feel emotion as a result. And if you go back and realize that the meaning wasn't in the event, it was in your head, you can free yourself from the fall wasn't in the event, it was in your head.
Speaker 1:You can free yourself from the fall. Well, blake has said it all. That was an amazing statement that resonates deep with down in my spirit.
