Elements of Stiles

Mark welcomes back MaryBeth 'MB' Gustitis to explore the themes of courage, discomfort, and personal growth through the lens of transformational coaching and neuro-linguistic programming (NLP). They discuss the importance of embracing discomfort, the process of uncovering limiting beliefs, and the journey towards self-acceptance. The conversation highlights the significance of mental emotional release and the impact of childhood experiences on adult behavior. In this conversation, Mark discusses the transformative power of guided visualization and how our brains process information through images rather than words. He emphasizes the importance of changing mental images to overcome fears and phobias, and how this technique can be applied to various aspects of life, including health and addiction. The discussion also delves into the significance of vulnerability in personal growth and the role of mindset in achieving goals. Mark shares insights on how to access deeper internal blocks that hinder progress and the value of community and shared experiences in overcoming challenges.
