Ep. 1 | *Season 3 Kick Off*: Can your own thoughts hypnotize you?

<p>What a difference a year makes! After her first year of podcasting, Mae realized a few things:</p> <ol> <li>listening is a practice; and</li> <li>we are all storytellers</li> </ol> <p>What does that even mean? We are all storytellers? Well, we'll get into it.</p> <p>And while Season 1 had it's particular intention, <strong>this new season is a totally different intention</strong>. This new Season of Stories from the Subconscious seeks to highlight inspiring stories of those who have: </p> <ul> <li>taken leaps of faith</li> <li>had the courage to pursue a dream (even if it felt crazy or impossible)</li> <li>found clarity and fed their inner mind what was needed to shift their mindset. </li> </ul> <p>While also highlighting language hacks that support the shifting of our belief systems because our belief systems feed our thoughts... and [as Mahatma Gandhi said], "<em>your beliefs become your thoughts. Your thoughts become your words. Your words become your actions. Your actions become your habits. Your habits become your values. Your values become your destiny.</em>"  </p> <p>Because here is the truth: we only know what we know. So how do we get introduced to what we don't know? Well, honestly, there needs to be willingness and openness as a foundation! After that, <strong>exposure to stories</strong> are what expands our world (both inner world [mindset] and outer world [environment]).</p> <p><span style="font-size: 14pt;">So what is the <em><strong>intention</strong></em> of this podcast season? </span></p> <p>Great question. This season we lean into stories as a platform that allow you to: </p> <ol> <li>practice <strong>listening</strong> skills (because yes, that takes <em>practice</em>) </li> <li>expand beyond what we <strong>know to be possible</strong> today; and perhaps even</li> <li>begin to embrace how <strong>powerful</strong> your <strong>inner mind</strong> is (and therefore how much you are capable of!) </li> </ol> <p>Would you be willing to join Mae on this journey? </p> <p><span style="font-size:
