Plus, I’ll throw in some classic blunders to dodge while you’re on your journey, because who doesn’t love a good ol' learning misstep story? So grab your cosy drink, settle in, and let’s get curious together! The Details: Have you ever felt that magical spark when you learn something new?

Heather shares her own learning journey, and trust me, it’s as inspiring as it gets. She talks about her obsession with tech and how she’s currently exploring the fascinating world of AI.

Fuel Your Fire: How Obsession Leads to Happiness! 25:05

16 days ago25:05

25:05

Welcome and Intro Choosing to be obsessed with your life and happiness is the star of today’s show, and trust me, it’s a game-changer! We’re diving deep into what it means to embrace a healthy obsession that fuels your potential and lights up your soul, inspired by Grant Cardone’s electrifying book, *Be Obsessed or Be Average*. Heather challenges you to kick mediocrity to the curb and get fired up about living your best life! We’ll explore how being truly passionate about your dreams can propel you toward a life that makes your heart sing. Plus, hang tight because I’ll share a quick exercise that’ll get you started on this obsession journey today! So, grab your favourite drink, settle in, and let’s get obsessed! The Details Get ready as we crank up the energy and take a deep dive into a topic that could change your life—obsession! And no, I’m not talking about the kind that drives your friends up a wall or leads to awkward conversations at parties. I’m talking about the good kind—the kind that fuels your happiness and helps you chase your dreams like a puppy on a leash! Host Heather Masters is here to help you flip the script on mediocrity and embrace the fire that comes from being truly obsessed with what you love. Inspired by Grant Cardone’s book, "Be Obsessed or Be Average," we’re diving into how choosing obsession can be the key to unlocking a life filled with joy, purpose, and passion. Throughout the podcast episode, Heather opens up about her own journey and the struggles she's faced in committing to her happiness. She shares how, in a world that often encourages us to play it safe, we need to shake things up and get a little *extra* with our goals. If you’ve ever felt stuck or comfortable in a box of your own making, this episode is for you! We’ll explore how to cultivate an obsession with the things that light you up and why that’s not only okay but necessary for a fulfilling life. Plus, there’s a golden nugget of wisdom waiting for you in the form of the "Obsession Blueprint," a practical exercise that will help you clarify your purpose and take massive action towards your dreams. As we journey through the episode, we tackle three key ideas that will help you break free from the chains of average and step into your greatness. First up is owning your purpose with absolute obsession. We’ll discuss how knowing your *why* can transform your daily life and give you the energy to wake up excited every day. Next, we’ll dive into the importance of rejecting mediocrity and raising your standards. After all, why settle for “just okay” when you can aim for extraordinary? And finally, we’ll emphasise the power of taking massive action—because dreams don’t work unless you do! So, are you ready to embrace your obsession and live your best life? Let’s do this! Takeaways: Choosing to be obsessed with your life means taking relentless action towards your happiness. Obsession isn't about one thing; it's about being all in for what truly fuels your passion. Happiness is a by-product of aligning your daily actions with your deepest desires and potential. Average is the real danger in life; embrace your drive and refuse to settle for mediocrity. Setting intimidating goals can push you to grow; don’t fear the big dreams, chase them! Taking small actions consistently can lead to massive changes in your happiness and fulfilment.

23 days ago18:30

18:30

Hey there, fabulous friends! Today, we’re diving deep into the magical world of parts integration, a super nifty NLP technique that helps resolve those pesky inner conflicts that keep us stuck in our old patterns. You know, the ones that make us feel like we’re riding a rollercoaster of indecision? Yep, that’s the stuff! So far in our week-long pattern-breaking journey, we’ve identified and interrupted those patterns, and now it’s time to merge the parts of ourselves that want to change with the parts that are holding us back. Think of it like getting your two feuding friends to finally hug it out—so they can cheer you on instead of dragging you down! Buckle up for some fun, laughter, and a sprinkle of magic as we explore how to align our inner selves and step into a brighter, pattern-free future! Let’s get this party started, shall we? The Details If you’ve ever felt like you’re in a tug-of-war with yourself, you’re not alone—Heather Masters is here to help you unravel those knots in the latest episode of the Choosing Happy Podcast! Day five of the Breaking Patterns mini-series is all about using the NLP technique called parts integration to align the conflicting parts of your mind. Heather really knows how to bring the fun into personal development, and today is no exception! In this episode, she dives headfirst into what it means to have different parts of ourselves vying for attention. Maybe you’ve got a part that wants to hit the snooze button one more time (I feel you!) while another part is ready to conquer the day. Heather’s technique helps us bring these inner voices together so they can work as a cohesive team, rather than a chaotic mob. She shares her personal experience of naming her anxiety ‘Alan,’ and suddenly, the weight of that inner critic feels lighter and way more manageable. It’s all about taking the power back from those pesky thoughts that try to hold us hostage! As she walks us through a guided exercise, Heather encourages listeners to find a quiet space, tune into their conflicts, and visualise their conflicting parts standing on their hands—literally! This playful approach makes the process feel less daunting and more like a fun game of self-discovery. By the end of the episode, you’ll not only understand the beauty of parts integration but also feel empowered to apply it in your own life. With Heather’s upbeat energy and practical advice, you’ll be ready to break free from your patterns and embrace the joyful, aligned life that’s waiting for you. Tune in, laugh a little, and let’s get to work on those inner dialogues! Takeaways: In this episode, we dove deep into the magical world of NLP, specifically parts integration, and how it helps resolve inner conflicts that keep us stuck in our patterns. Have you ever felt torn between wanting to break free from a pattern and an inner voice holding you back? You're not alone, and today we explored that! We discussed how naming our inner voices—like calling my anxiety Alan—can totally shift our perspective and lighten the weight of those pesky thoughts. Remember, breaking patterns isn’t a one-time deal! It's all about creating habits and nurturing your mindset consistently for long-term happiness and resilience.

14:56

Ready to break some patterns and shake things up? This episode of the Choosing Happy podcast is all about diving deeper into those pesky beliefs and patterns that trip us up! We're embracing day three of our Breaking Patterns week, and I’m bringing you some super powerful questions that might just turn your world upside down—in a good way, of course! Grab your pen and paper because we’re not just talking about change; we’re talking about major breakthroughs. So, if you've ever wondered what life would look like without those nagging problems, I’m here to help you explore that wild, wonderful possibility. Let’s get to it and discover how we can loosen those patterns and make room for a little more happiness! The Detail: Self-discovery is like an adventure, and in this episode, we’re explorers seeking to break free from the patterns that keep us stuck in a rut! I kick things off with an invitation for you to join me in some real soul-searching during our Breaking Patterns week. It’s all about shaking off those old patterns that feel as comforting as a well-worn couch but are doing more harm than good. I toss aside the script because sometimes the best conversations come from the heart, and I want you to feel the energy of spontaneity in our discussion. We dive into some deep questions that’ll make you think twice about why you hold onto those patterns. Each question is like a little key unlocking a door to a new perspective. Sure, it’s a bit uncomfortable—like trying on a pair of jeans two sizes too small—but it’s absolutely necessary if you want to grow! We explore the benefits your patterns might be providing, even if they’re not serving you anymore. I mean, let’s be real: some of these beliefs are like that old T-shirt you never wore but can’t seem to throw away. Together, we’ll challenge these beliefs and see if they’re really worth keeping around. Towards the end of our chat, I emphasise the importance of living in the moment—an essential skill if you want to break free from the past and stop worrying about the future. I share some fun techniques to help you stay grounded, like naming things you love in your environment. It’s all about shifting your focus from anxiety to appreciation. So grab notepad and pen, get comfy, and let’s dive into this transformative journey together! I promise it’s going to be a wild ride, and who knows? You might just discover a happier, lighter version of yourself by the end of it! Takeaways: In this episode, we dive deep into understanding the patterns that hold us back and how to break free from them, like a superhero escaping a villain's lair! Heather encourages us to ask ourselves tough questions about the benefits of our patterns, because knowing what we're clinging to is half the battle, right? We explore the idea that our thoughts and feelings aren't always real; it's like they’re just playing dress-up and we can change the costume anytime! The importance of being present is highlighted, reminding us that worries are just time travellers trying to ruin our current vibe. Heather urges us to visualise life without our problems — it's like dreaming of a vacation while stuck in traffic, but with more joy and less honking! We learn the significance of checking in with our unconscious mind and understanding how it keeps us safe, even when it’s being a little overprotective, like a mom with a bubble wrap obsession!

Today, we're diving into a super fun and enlightening coaching journey right here on the Choosing Happy Podcast! 🎉 Yep, it's International Coaching Week, and we’re all about helping you break free from those pesky patterns that keep popping up like an unwanted game of whack-a-mole. I’m inviting you to get cosy, close your eyes, and think about that one behaviour or situation that just won’t take a hint and leave you alone. We’ll explore your feelings, your thoughts, and even how that little voice in your head likes to play the rerun game. So grab your metaphorical popcorn because this week, we’re flipping the script on those repeating patterns, one episode at a time! 🌟 Our first day is all about awareness. We’re diving deep into the heart of our habits and behaviours that seem to cling on like a stubborn sock in the dryer. Heather invites us to visualise the last time we encountered one of these patterns. Who was there? How did we feel? It’s like a personal spotlight on our lives, helping us see things clearly. We’re encouraged to become aware of our thoughts and feelings, and even to notice what’s happening in our bodies—because let’s face it, our bodies often have a lot to say! And here’s a fun twist: Heather reminds us that our version of events is just one of many. Just like in a movie where different characters see the same scene in totally different ways, our perceptions can shape our reality. So, let’s take notes, folks! Tomorrow, we’ll dig into how we can reframe these experiences and start shifting those patterns for good. It’s time to choose happy and embrace the journey ahead! Takeaways: In this episode, Heather encourages us to dive deep into our repeating patterns and recognise their presence in our lives. We embark on a seven-day coaching journey to shift those pesky patterns that seem to haunt us like a bad sequel. Today's focus on awareness helps us identify those stubborn behaviours that just won't quit, no matter how hard we try. Heather reminds us that our perception is just one version of reality, so it's time to explore new perspectives on our issues. Writing down our patterns in detail can help illuminate the feelings and thoughts tied to them, giving us a clearer path forward. Tomorrow, we're diving into reframing our thoughts and changing the lens on these repeating patterns, so stay tuned for the fun!

The Timeline Walk: Step Into Your Future Self with Heather! 22:29

6 weeks ago22:29

22:29

Welcome to this weeks Choosing Happy Podcast all about Identity. Intro Identity is everything, and today we're digging deep into what that really means! I’m Heather Masters, your ever-enthusiastic host, and we’re on a mission to explore how our sense of self shapes our thoughts, actions, and even our destiny. We’ll peel back the layers of identity, from the surface-level labels we wear to the core beliefs that drive us. Plus, we’ll dive into some seriously cool tools like Neuro Linguistic Programming and Robert Diltz's logical levels of change, showing us why lasting change starts with shifting our identity beliefs. So grab your favourite drink, get comfy, and let’s explore this journey of transformation together! The Details: Get ready to dive deep into the world of identity with Heather Masters in this captivating solo episode of the Choosing Happy Podcast! Heather gets right to the heart of the matter by asking the question we often overlook: Who are you at your core? As we explore this concept, we discover that identity is layered, much like an onion (minus the tears, hopefully!). Heather breaks it down into surface-level identities like our roles and labels, and dives into the deeper beliefs that shape our actions and destinies. With a sprinkle of neuro linguistic programming magic, Heather reveals how our beliefs can be transformed to support a more empowering self-image. She introduces us to Robert Diltz's Logical Levels of Change, which helps us understand how shifts at the identity level can lead to profound transformations in our lives. Heather also shares an engaging exercise called the Timeline Walk, inviting us to physically step into our future selves and embody the identities we aspire to. It’s a fun, interactive way to connect with our potential, and it’s all about bringing joy, purpose, and fulfilment into our lives. Grab your notepad, because this episode is packed with insights, laughter, and the tools you need to start rewriting your story today! Takeaways: Identity is like an onion; it's layered and often tied to our beliefs about ourselves. To truly change, we need to shift our identity-level beliefs, which shape our thoughts and actions. Using techniques from NLP, we can rewrite our identity to align with our desired outcomes. Practicing exercises like the Timeline Walk visualization can help embody your new identity effectively. Our identities act as a blueprint for our lives, affecting everything from behaviors to opportunities. Remember, by acting as if you are already the person you want to be, you can actually become them!

Sales doesn’t have to feel icky or pushy, and trust me, I get it—many of us cringe at the thought of selling our services. In this episode, we’re chatting about how we can embrace soulful sales as transformational practitioners, coaches, and healers without feeling like we’re shoving our offers down anyone’s throat. I’m sharing some lightbulb moments that have totally shifted my perspective on sales, all thanks to my fantastic mentor, Connor Healy. We’ll dig into overcoming fear, shaking off limiting beliefs, and discovering how to sell in a way that feels authentic and aligned. Plus, I’ve got a free resource and an exciting live event to help you take your sales game to the next level. So, grab your favourite drink, get comfy, and let’s dive into the magic of transformation through sales! The Details: Let's chat about the elephant in the room: sales! For many of us in the coaching and healing world, selling can feel more like a four-letter word than a pathway to impact. But what if I told you that selling doesn’t have to feel sleazy or pushy? In this episode, I share my journey of overcoming sales resistance and how my mentor, Connor Healy, has completely reshaped my perspective. We dive into ten sneaky mindset traps that hold us back from making authentic connections and closing sales with confidence. From fear of rejection to the belief that our services aren't worth the price tag, we explore how these beliefs create barriers to success. With practical tips and a focus on authenticity, I guide you through reframing your approach to sales, so you can step into your power as a transformational practitioner. After all, when you embrace your worth, your clients will too! Takeaways: Sales doesn't have to be icky or pushy; it's all about authentic connection and service! If you struggle with sales, remember it's often about overcoming limiting beliefs and fears. Selling is not about convincing; it's about helping and making a real difference in people's lives. Transforming your mindset around sales can completely change your conversion rates and client relationships. The fear of selling is common, but focusing on your clients' needs can turn that fear into confidence. Embrace the idea that money is just energy; it's about the value you provide and the transformation you facilitate.
