Episode #142 - NLP, Hustle, Tugboats and Lighthouses

In this episode we dive deep into the power of subconscious beliefs, parts integration (a tool from NLP), and the ongoing work of aligning business, family, and personal identity. We explore how competing beliefs (like hustle vs. harmony) can be integrated to create internal peace and clarity. Kim shares a powerful exercise where she names her two conflicting parts: Carol (light, joy) and Ursula (sacrifice, hustle), and learns to blend them, not fight them. The conversation then shifts into legacy, asking: What does it mean to live in alignment in your business, body, and relationships?  We both reflect on personal growth, parenting, over-scheduling, and creating space for what matters. We emphasize that hustle isn"t bad when it"s intentional and joyful, but that saying yes to everything often stems from past trauma or identity patterns. I also share an interesting analogy I hear about a tugboat vs. a lighthouse, as they are each there to help boats, but both do it in very different ways.  We discuss two styles of leadership and support, hands-on vs. steady presence, and how knowing when to be each is key to sustainable living. The takeaway: there’s no right or wrong way to lead or grow, but self-awareness is crucial. We close this episode by encouraging all of you to evaluate your own lives with reflection questions:Are you in alignment with who you"re becoming?Are your choices supporting your legacy?Where are you out of sync, and how can you come back home? We loved filming this episode and I believe the  tone is honest, vulnerable, and full of real-life tension between ambition and presence, and is especially relevant for entrepreneurs balancing family, purpose, and success. As always, thanks for listening!
