As we go through life, we all pick up beliefs that once served us, but then begin to hold us back. When our brains stay wired around these beliefs, they can limit our potential for happiness, health, connection, and purpose. Thankfully, neuroplasticity (brain mouldability) means we can rewire our brains to help instead of hinder us, whatever our experiences or stage of life. This workshop is designed to empower you with practical knowledge, tools, and momentum to do just that. We'll cover what you need to know about limiting beliefs, neuroplasticity, and rewiring the brain in easy-to-digest, plain language. You'll also begin your own process with guided journal exercises and proven rewiring techniques for your everyday life, so you can create lasting change. All you need is an open mind, notebook, and pen.
