The biggest thing holding you back from reaching your goals is quite simply... you. The number 1 thing I see people struggle with when it comes to weight loss is their mindset. Anyone can do the work it takes to reach their weight loss goals, most people will tell themselves they can't for self-sabotage before they ever get there. So how do you overcome that? Nuero-Linguistic Programming Practitioner, Brenda Amiel and I dig in to all of the reasons why your past can be holding you back from your success and how you can get passed it to finally reach your goals for good.

Ep.35:  Fixing Your Mindset So You Can Reach Your Goals w/ Brenda Amiel, NLP

On another exciting episode of Dark Fringe Radio, we delve into the fascinating world of linguistics and the power of words. Linguistics is the scientific study of language and its structure, and how language has changed throughout time.  

We begin by discussing the fundamental principles of linguistics, including phonetics, syntax, semantics, and pragmatics, and how they relate to Neuro Linguistic Programming. We also examine some of the key challenges in NLP, such as understanding the nuances of human language and dealing with ambiguity.

Finally, we consider the future of linguistics and NLP and the impact these fields may have on our lives. Will computers ever truly understand human language? What ethical considerations will arise as language processing becomes more sophisticated? Join us for this thought-provoking discussion on the fascinating intersection of linguistics and the power of words.

Ep. 106: Neuro-Linguistic Programming and Meditation with Tom Maloney

Do you avoid the camera like it’s out to get you? Feel self-conscious the moment someone says, “Say cheese”? Or maybe you’ve put off updating your headshots because you’re waiting to lose weight, get the perfect outfit, or just feel ready?  

You’re not alone.  

In Episode 20 of The Brain Changers Podcast, Rebekah sits down with the brilliant Grier Neilson, founder of Bohemian Ekko Creative, to tackle one of the biggest mindset blocks holding people back - fear of being seen. Whether it's avoiding photos, dreading video calls, or struggling to show up confidently on social media, many of us feel exposed in front of a lens.  

But what if being seen could actually be empowering?  

With over 30 years of experience in photography, makeup, film, and editorial, Grier has worked with global icons like Michael Bublé, Janet Jackson, and Taylor Swift - but her true passion lies in helping everyday women feel comfortable, confident, and authentically themselves in photos. In this conversation, she shares how self-image, past experiences, and subconscious fears impact how we see ourselves - and how to shift that perspective so we can step into visibility with confidence.  

You’ll discover:  
Why so many people hate having their photo taken, and what’s really behind it.
How self-judgment, perfectionism, and old unconscious stories keep us in hiding.
How Grier helps women see themselves differently through the lens of her camera.
Practical tips to feel confident in photos, from posing tricks to mindset shifts.
Why documenting yourself at any stage of life - not just when you feel “perfect” - is so important.

Grier also opens up about her powerful photography projects, Feathered and Flock 50, which celebrate women in their raw, authentic beauty, helping them break through fear, embrace their stories, and leave behind a legacy of self-acceptance.  

If you’re ready to finally stop hiding, this episode is for you.  

Topics Discussed:
The psychology behind camera shyness, and why it’s not about the camera.
How perfectionism and self-doubt sabotage your ability to be seen.  
How stepping in front of the camera can be a transformative, healing experience.
Why “I’ll do it when I lose weight” is one of the biggest lies we tell ourselves.
Practical confidence-building strategies for photos, videos, and even Zoom calls.

Ep 20 | Seen, not hidden: Overcoming fear and embracing confidence in front of the camera

Ever had one of those days where nothing goes to plan... your to-do list is set, every detail is sorted, and then… BAM, life throws a curveball? 

If you love having control over things, those moments can feel frustrating. But what if the key to real freedom isn’t in controlling every detail, but in letting go?

In this episode of The Brain Changers™, we’re exploring why our brains crave control, how that can actually keep us stuck, and the surprising benefits of embracing uncertainty. We’ll show you how to shift from rigid control to real flow, so you can navigate life with more ease, trust, and resilience.

What you’ll learn in this episode:
✅ Why our brains naturally resist uncertainty, and how to work with that, not against it
✅ The hidden costs of trying to control everything in your life
✅ How letting go of control actually gives you more power (not less!)
✅ A mindset shift that helps you trust yourself no matter what happens
✅ Practical ways to move from stress and rigidity to flow and freedom

Key takeaways:
🔹 Control is an illusion. No matter how much we try, we can’t control everything, so learning to embrace uncertainty is a superpower.
🔹 Your brain fills in the blanks with worst-case scenarios. Understanding this can help you challenge those thoughts and reframe your mindset.
🔹 Rigidity leads to stress, but flexibility leads to resilience. The more we practise letting go, the more in control we actually feel.
🔹 Trust is the antidote to control. When you trust yourself to handle whatever comes your way, you don’t need to micromanage every detail.
