Episode Synopsis "Think Again with Rebecca Mountain"
In conversation with Rebecca Mountain, certified High Performance Coach and Amazon Best Selling author of Think Again: My Seven Stage Journey from Self-Sabotage to Success. Joining Rebecca is her friend and colleague, Karen Chapman, a certified Neurolinguistic Programming expert and Rebecca's 17-year old son Zack. From the Amazon summary: How long have you been chasing happiness and success, only to have it move away from you at the same velocity? I called that “my black cloud”; that feeling that I should be happy, even after freeing myself from an isolating and fundamentalist church (think Amish – but with cars), leaving a sad marriage, starting my own successful business and finding true love... and yet I was miserable. I felt I should be “more” – whatever that meant! I tried to escape my past, with all its fear, rejection and judgement. Turns out it was like attaching a ribbon to a cat – no matter how fast I ran, where I hid, or new happiness I created around me, that black cloud was always there. In Think Again, I show you what it took for me to realize that I was constantly being re-triggered by my past, and how this was the only thing keeping me from the brain-exploding success I craved. Every time I retold my story, I relived it, and re-anchored it as my current identity. That had to stop or I’d be stuck being frustrated forever. Thus began my 7-stage journey to rid myself of the ties that bound m. I finally found that deep, solid inner contentment that I was enough, but even more so, that I had an opportunity to teach people who may also appear to be successful on the outside, but are miserable and frustrated on the inside. Think Again challenges you to rethink your situation, reframe your relationship with your past, and to put it behind you once and for all.
