In this episode we cover: What is the subconscious mind How it's programmed before age 7 How it's programmed in adults Real life examples of how this we perceive this playing out in 2020 Our vision for heaven on earth and reframing this year And as a reminder: we are two human beings coming together in a conversation working through triggers and years of programming.

In this episode, I share a personal experience from January 2020 as an example regarding the toxic apology culture I've observed in society today. I answer a lot of questions like when I think apologies are beneficial, when we need to skip apologies, how I plan to teach my daughter about apologies, and loads more on the manipulative direction apologies seem to be moving towards... I hope you enjoy this episode and see it as an opportunity to put the power back in your hands. Take responsibility for the reality we are all living in. And heal ourselves to heal the world.

Kicking off a new series on the podcast: The Subconscious Mind Series starting with the best thing I've done in 2020 so far! In order to fully lay the stage for this series, particularly given the current world climate, I took it WAY back to 2016... my evolution of learning about the subconscious, how to work with it, and how all the knowledge slipped away AND came back in 2020.   

A dive into how to navigate all of the things coming to light in 2020 and lift yourself out of the paralyzation, fear, or overwhelm you may be experiencing.  READ IT HERE: https://theconfusedmillennial.com/confusion-2020/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/theconfusedmillennial  

Discover Jenna Zoe, a gifted Human Design Reader in this episode – I know that you all are going to fall for this beautiful being just as hard as I have!

I got an email recently from a reader who is thinking about starting a blog and asked me a few questions. Two of them were far too deep to put in an email for just her so I decided to bring them here. The questions were: How did you overcome that fear [of starting a blog/business]?! How did you become successful and what all did you have to do? Her questions reminded me of another question I get A LOT which is: how did you get over your fear of having a baby? In response to a couple of posts I wrote a couple of years ago on why I was afraid to be pregnant and have a baby and why I was afraid to have kids.  So today I'm tackling how I've overcome fear in all area of my life, specifics for blogging and kids, and my take and tips for success!

We've all heard it before; eyes on your own paper, hater blockers on, stay in your own lane. There's a reason this cliche has been said over and over and in a million different ways for decades. It's because it's helpful advice! But just because something is helpful advice, doesn't mean we always listen.  In today's episode, I'm sharing how I woke up and finally started staying in my own lane; what it cost me when I was focusing on everyone else's lanes, and the rewards I've reaped since focusing on myself.
