E189: Amplify Your Life with Preston Smiles
Our thoughts lead to our feelings and our actions. But an even more important driver of our actions is the programming that we all have received since we were kids. We’ve been taught to always be careful, that men don’t cry, or that you should “man up” whenever a struggle arises. But how much room do we have left to feel what we truly feel? Today’s guest, Preston Smiles, a coach, a trainer, a speaker, an author, and an influencer, learned to have a bulletproof mindset early in life, having gone through his own share of trauma and shame. But what came out of that is how he leveraged his experiences to teach and coach other people so they can also lean into their own shame, guilt, and trauma – and turn that into an opportunity for them to tap into their own power to amplify their lives. In this episode, Preston shares how we can break free from all this programming, how we can all lean into our own vulnerabilities and tap into our own power. And finally, he shares these seven abundance activators that you should definitely start using now so you, too, can amplify your life!
