EP 37: Questioning yourself is exhausting. Here’s how to build lasting faith in yourself from the inside out
0 Plays2 seconds ago
Questioning yourself is exhausting. Here’s how to build lasting faith in yourself from the inside out
What if you knew every decision you made, every word you spoke, every offer you created was the “right one” for you?
To know what’s right for you and be able to discern between your intuition and ego you must know yourself on the level of Soul.
How will you effectively differentiate between the voices of your ego and soul (your true self) if you don’t have an incredibly deep connection to your true self (your Soul) in the first place?
Where does this connection come from? How do you strengthen it to the point that there is no doubt left in your mind over what you’re being called to do at any given point in your life and business??
That’s exactly what I’m going to break down for you today with clear instructions for building the inner knowing and faith necessary to never question yourself again.
Ahhhhhh the relief is real when we know how to let It flow.
Love you mucho,
Dana

Exploring Faith and Self-Trust
00:00:00
Speaker
good morning from costa rica for the last time this year i am walking on a jungle road it's 5 56 a.m m and i'm really excited to be talking to you right now about faith having faith and trust in yourself where that comes from the source of it and how to actually get there. Practical application, practical advice for feeling like you can trust yourself, knowing that every move that you make is the right one for you and your path, the one that only you who were created to take.
Identifying and Overcoming Self-Trust Issues
00:00:44
Speaker
Okay, so, you know, a lot of people talk about trusting yourself and I have yet to hear too many people go right to the source of it. What is the source of the problem when you do not have a limitless supply of self trust?
00:01:01
Speaker
Where Where is the issue? Where does it lie? How do we fix it? What's the solution? Right? And it's okay. If you want to trust in yourself, first and foremost, you have to know yourself, right? You have to know who you are at the core.
00:01:22
Speaker
and when you know yourself it is going to be so much easier to differentiate the voice of you versus the voice of your ego right which also sounds like you for a long time but once you get to know yourself on such a deep level you're no longer gonna be fooled by the ego coming feening your voice and trying to make you think that it's you. So you're not gonna be fooled.
00:01:52
Speaker
But where does all this
Self-Reflection and Healing
00:01:54
Speaker
start? where How do we do this? How how does this work? So the way that it's worked for me is I had to back up. you know I talk about taking massive action.
00:02:03
Speaker
I didn't always take massive business action. right I had to stop. I really had to, and I had to know where I was on my own journey. I had to know, like and I'm gonna ask you the question, where are you?
00:02:13
Speaker
Are you in the phase? And this is like, okay, let's start trusting ourselves right now. right Are you in the phase of development where you're like, I really do have more healing to do before I feel like I have a message of depth and weight and value to offer other people? If you feel that way, there is no shame in that. Like that is so self-aware of you. And also not not just that, but like this is the stuff that most people will not, they refuse to stop and look at, right? Because they want to go, go, go.
00:02:44
Speaker
They want to make it work. But ultimately, ah we don't make it work. That's the whole point, right? So if you continue to do that without reflecting on this question, without looking at where you're at in your own healing process.
00:02:59
Speaker
You're going to go, go, go. And where are you going to go? Where are you going to get yourself? Because if you're constantly questioning yourself, you're constantly stopping yourself. So you have to know who you are.
00:03:11
Speaker
That is what healing does. It allows you to connect to the source of what created you in the first place. gives you the perspective of that higher thing of the source of what created you in the first place and you see the world through that lens and you know Intuitively like that's me. That's not me. That's my higher power That's not my higher power.
00:03:34
Speaker
They're one in the same what created you is what you are and so you've got to take the time to take Massive action to learn how to differentiate between what's you and what's not but that comes from the massive action of healing okay and it's not a bad place to be it's the most amazing profound place to be because this is where the experience comes in This is why the year-long group program that I have is called the Modern Day Healer Experience.
Understanding Infinite Energy and Overcoming Fear
00:04:08
Speaker
Because healing is not just something you can know. okay It's not just information. It can't be. It has to be a felt experience of integration between you and your higher power.
00:04:23
Speaker
And then what happens is you receive insights and information on the path of your higher power, what it wants for you, and you follow that with courage and the willingness to do whatever it's asking you to do, regardless of how hard or scary or whatever it is. And and here's the thing, it's like, even if you're afraid, that doesn't mean it's ah it's a bad thing.
00:04:49
Speaker
It doesn't mean it's not the right thing to do. In fact, a lot of times, like, i mean, your higher power doesn't really care whether or not you're afraid. I mean, that's not the point of it.
00:05:00
Speaker
The point of it is to learn that there is nothing to fear because you are infinite. Because your your higher power is infinite energy. It's what created you. It's what you are. Therefore, like I'm watching, um, am, I didn't realize it is like a whole three season long docuseries, but I am obsessed with it. 100 foot wave. Oh my God.
00:05:20
Speaker
These big wave surfers, they are, it's, they're the same as us. because they're going out there, they are putting everything on the line, all of their money, all of their energy, all of their family, like that but everything that you could ever possibly care about.
00:05:39
Speaker
They put it on the line and they question, they're like, why is this the way? in which I feel alive. Like, why is this the path? Because they almost die all lot.
00:05:50
Speaker
And lucky for us, like, we're not going to die by building these businesses, okay?
Ego vs. Soul: Finding True Path
00:05:55
Speaker
But it can feel like that. But the point that I'm trying to make is that security is an illusion, okay?
00:06:03
Speaker
You don't need to feel secure because you have nothing to be afraid of. We are infinite energy. Therefore, there is nothing to actually fear. There's not.
00:06:15
Speaker
This is the lesson that you begin to learn as you follow the path of your soul, as you follow the path of your higher power and you take action. That is terrifying, right?
00:06:27
Speaker
Taking these big leaps where I'm spending $30,000 on an investment with a coach that I don't even know, right? Multiple times in a year. I couldn't even haven't even done the math.
00:06:37
Speaker
I have spent well over $75,000 this year on coaching and I will tell you that every time it kind of gets easier because I realize there was nothing to fear and all all of the energy that was necessary the faith built energy the energy that is like oh my god this is god energy was on the other side of what i feared most right on the other side of what i was resisting the resistance is coming from the ego the ego is like no don't do that
00:07:11
Speaker
Don't do that because if you do, God forbid, you get the results and you feel you have that experience of like, oh my God, the possibilities, the limitlessness of life and what's available on the other side of the ego, then you're going to build faith in that path and your ego is going to become less and less relevant and necessary.
00:07:36
Speaker
And it wants to feel alive, right? It wants to. It wants to use your body in the same way that your soul wants to use your body, except for fear-based reasons as opposed to life-giving reasons, right?
00:07:50
Speaker
It wants to use your body to make itself feel real. And it's not. It's finite. It's going to die when your body dies. but it does everything it can. It is insidious. It's clever.
00:08:01
Speaker
And I'm not saying that your ego is a bad thing, but man, like it is going to steer you off the path of your soul as much as it possibly can, because the more energy you give your ego, the bigger and badder it becomes, the bigger and more alive it feels, even though it's not alive, it's not real anyway.
00:08:22
Speaker
It knows nothing, right? But The more energy you give it and the less energy you give your soul, the the more powerful it becomes and the more um just the more real it does feel. OK, so we learn how to decipher first and foremost where we're at on our journey.
00:08:44
Speaker
If you feel like you have a lot of healing to do, like there are things that pop up in your mind that you know, and usually it has to do with people, right? Because people are the mirrors of either the feeling of separation, which is not healing, or the the feeling of wholeness and unity, right?
00:09:01
Speaker
Which is a healed perspective. Because you are healed. You are whole at the core. That's what your soul is. It is already healed. You have no actual healing to do. But. You're a human and your perspective is what needs to change in order to feel that wholeness that you already are. So when you're looking at other people, you're looking at the way they make you feel, you are going to get a very, very quick understanding of how you feel about yourself, right?
00:09:30
Speaker
If people irritate you, if you're so easily worried, brought down by what other people might think about you or what other people are doing. Right? If you become super frustrated, if you want to control situations, if you're terrified of not having control or not getting what you want or things not going your way, right?
00:09:52
Speaker
You're so attached to outcomes. This is attachment to ego. This is a really good way to recognize how separate you might feel and to say, okay, this is a starting point. This is where I need to be and I need to start actually healing that perspective, okay?
00:10:09
Speaker
And I have a workbook and I'm going to make it available for free. It is the Truth Cleanse. It's the Soul Vibe Truth Cleanse. Now, I recommend if you haven't done Soul Vibe and you don't have access to it, that you get it. It's only 49 bucks.
00:10:26
Speaker
um And I'll leave a link here. But it will give you a lot more context, kind of in the same way that this training is giving you some context. But it will give you a lot more context around this Truth Cleanse. But what the Truth Cleanse allows you to do is to see, like...
00:10:44
Speaker
other people and the way that they make you feel and to see whether or not you are on the path of truly transforming your perspective from one of mind to one of soul or not. And again,
00:10:57
Speaker
This perspective shift is what is necessary in order to have true faith in yourself.
Tools for Transformation and Healing
00:11:04
Speaker
Trusting yourself comes from getting the results of following the path of your true self, but you have to know your true self first.
00:11:13
Speaker
And so when we look at other people and we go, okay, I can definitely tell that I am like, I have work to do, right? Cool, now you go ahead and you do what your heart tells you to do, okay?
00:11:30
Speaker
Do not let me get in the way of what you want to do. So if you are like, I have healing to do, but also I feel really freaking inspired to talk about X, Y, v Z. That inspiration is spirit. It means to be in spirit, inspired, in spirit.
00:11:50
Speaker
Share that while you do the rest of your healing work. And guess what? There is an actual end to the healing work. If you do the truth cleanse on every single resentment that you have from your past experience of life, guess what's going to happen?
00:12:05
Speaker
You're not going to have any more to work on. There's a definitive end to each of these experiences where you are actually looking at the truth of the situation that happened, like the negativity.
00:12:16
Speaker
That truth dissolves the ego's illusion that there's a reason to have the negative energy happening in the first place to be holding on to this negative energy in the first place so you work through these and you do it every single time you have a negative negative experience of life and guess what's going to happen you're going to hit the point where there's no more This is insanely profound because you're going to go, oh my God, I am walking on what they call a pink cloud.
00:12:51
Speaker
I am walking on a pink cloud. I actually just feel so light, airy, happy, floating. oh my God, this is crazy.
00:13:03
Speaker
And you start seeing things from this higher vantage point. The picture becomes clearer. The vision becomes much bigger, okay? So that might also be a little phase of the journey that you're in. It's like, I knew i have so much to give and I'm just scraping the surface.
00:13:22
Speaker
That's what healing does for you. It gives you the perspective of your true self, right? Because now there's not so much chatter. Your ego is not there telling you that you should attach yourself to this outcome, that you should be telling your yourself this story to keep that negative energy alive, right? That you should be doing this um false security behavior where you're trying to find a sense of ease and comfort, doing something that ultimately is self-destructive and then makes you want to engage in it more.
00:13:57
Speaker
further distancing you from knowing your true self, from hearing your true self and being able to discern between your ego and your soul. Okay? So this is like essential work. So if you are at that point where like, I do feel like I have more healing to do, take massive freaking action on that.
00:14:17
Speaker
Guys, i I've told you this. But I dismantled my business for two full years. You might not have to do that. My healing was severe. Okay. I had, oh my God, I just had so much trauma, so much resentment, so much anger inside of me.
00:14:34
Speaker
My perspective was so... um unbelievably egotistical and sick. It's sick. It's a spiritual sickness that we're dealing with as human beings.
00:14:45
Speaker
And the whole opportunity that we have while we're here on earth is to heal that sick perspective. The one that your ego has created and the reason that your ego created it in the first place was to try to protect you right like that's what happened when you're a child things happened you had no other way of coping therefore you didn't know what else to do your ego kicked in to protect you to keep the body safe right because that's ultimately it's it's you know
00:15:17
Speaker
its function is to keep the body safe because it believes it's finite and it will die and so it's very scared and that's why it fuels you with fear is to keep your body alive because as long as your body is alive your ego is alive right but we know that we are infinite energy so even when the body dies like we're still alive so that's that's what happened is it created these defense mechanisms the self-protection and your job now as an adult as somebody who is trying to spiritually mature it is to see the sickness that was born of your past through your ego right and it gave you the perspective of life that you have which right now could be really limited because your ego doesn't know anything other than your past experience of life and so the whole point is to be able to
00:16:09
Speaker
Zoom out, have a much larger view of everything, of life itself. And the only way you can do that is by having the infinite view that is given to you from the perspective of a higher power, which is what created you in the first place.
00:16:26
Speaker
And so when we do these truth cleanses, we clear out that chatter that disrupts the wisdom, that disrupts the knowledge because guess what?
00:16:38
Speaker
Your higher power, your soul, these things whisper. They are what gave you the power of will, which is the power to choose, the power to choose ego over soul, to be discerning, to learn discernment.
00:16:53
Speaker
Right. And to make the choices that are going to build faith in yourself and in life itself.
Building Faith and Taking Responsibility
00:17:00
Speaker
OK, but those things whisper. So until we clear out all of that mind chatter that the ego has created through attachments, the resentments that are born of those attachments, because we don't get what we want, the outcomes don't go our way.
00:17:15
Speaker
Right? The false narratives that come that your ego feeds you to keep those attachments and resentments alive. ah The fears that underlie all of this, right?
00:17:26
Speaker
Until we clear that out, it's going to be really difficult to discern because it is so noisy. And then it's like a whole questioning game. Like, is that me or is that my ego? I cannot be sure.
00:17:39
Speaker
so if you're listening to this um as a podcast i will link the soul vibe truth cleanse on its own and also if you're listening to this in telegram right now i'm going to link it here um and you can grab it and download it for free and start working on it and it's a workbook so Honestly, you can do this on your own.
00:17:59
Speaker
Okay. And you will get a sense of relief from whatever resentment it is that you can, that you can articulate for yourself right now. Like you just come up with a memory of something that bothers you from time to time. Like maybe it's just a feeling about somebody, right?
00:18:18
Speaker
about somebody and again your feelings about other people are a direct reflection of how you feel about yourself if you are feeling super irritated angry you are separating other human beings from the whole right you're showing yourself why you are separate why you are different why you are better why they're worse and so that's a really good place to start and you're you're gonna have a feeling about somebody i am sure You might go, Dana, I don't remember like exactly what, yes you do.
00:18:47
Speaker
Think about it. And you need to sit down and ask your higher power. This is about developing faith in your higher power, which is the thing that created you. So this is where, when you build faith in this higher power, you build faith in yourself and you,
00:19:01
Speaker
Get to know your higher power, you get to know yourself. So you sit down and you ask it for the ability to see the truth. This is you practicing, trusting and relying on your higher power. Not just saying you believe in it, but actually doing the spiritual work that it takes to start implementing.
00:19:19
Speaker
healing right you ask it for the ability to see the truth and then you get to let go of the outcomes you get to let it dictate what you see from this truth cleanse okay the truth that you get to witness which is going to dissolve whatever this memory this painful experience was And sometimes some people have many, um they have inflicted a lot of pain on us, right?
00:19:47
Speaker
Or so we feel. And so you, it might take you multiple, multiple, multiple. I had some people that I went through the whole alphabet doing these truth cleanses on them. And then went into numerals okay like we did a through z one two three okay i had so many resentments towards them and then guess what happened my perspective shifted and i was like holy crap i can see where i got the ball rolling on a lot of these things first of all how i put myself in the position to be hurt first of all
00:20:21
Speaker
Right. And listen, I'm not saying that a victim is a victim. I believe that if you have been victimized by somebody, then that is the truth. Now, the point of the process isn't necessarily for you to say it's okay that what they did is just what happened.
00:20:41
Speaker
No, absolutely not. But what you are doing and what you are saying is I'm ready to take full responsibility for my healing. I'm ready to take full responsibility for the way I feel and the way I experience this world and the faith that I build in my higher power and thus myself.
00:20:59
Speaker
And so you do these truth cleanses with that in mind, that it's about you focusing on healing and having a completely different perspective of the past, which will then breed a completely new perspective, a healed perspective of the present moment.
00:21:13
Speaker
And you will take that into your life and you'll create a brand new future built off of that. built off of that perspective that's what we're looking for and then when you start building that future you guys the faith just continues to build upon itself because you go oh my god i couldn't have done that on my own i couldn't have thought of that on my own i couldn't have made this opportunity happen on my own this is not me this is something bigger so when people tell me like oh my god you have so much willpower for not drinking for six years It's not me.
00:21:44
Speaker
Like, I appreciate that. But also, no, that's not what's happening. Sometimes people will be like, wow, the way you articulate things is so amazing. It's not me. It's not me. I am just clear.
00:21:56
Speaker
i am a clear vessel for something bigger to flow through and to use me to speak through. Right. I have faith that whatever needs to be said is going to be said.
00:22:08
Speaker
okay and i just go and i start speaking and i ask it for the ability to say what it wants to say through me and then i go and i take massive action from that place so if
Evolving Faith and Continuous Healing
00:22:23
Speaker
you're wondering where you're at first and foremost take a look at how you feel right do you feel like you have more healing fantastic let's do it Okay.
00:22:32
Speaker
And then if you feel like you're just ready to share or you're ready to heal and share your journey, do it. Do what feels inspired in spirit and continue to do things from that place.
00:22:47
Speaker
And to be totally honest with you, you are going to make mistakes that are you're going make decisions that feel like they're not aligned. that and you go i kind of regret that that really might not have been the right decision and guess what your higher power because your intention is to follow the will of it is going to use whatever choice you make for the benefit of you and other people regardless of whether that's clear to you right now or not so
00:23:19
Speaker
You get to have faith that it is going to work out no matter what choices you make right now, whether or not you feel super discerning because your intention is correct. Your intention is to follow the will of your higher power, which is your real self.
00:23:37
Speaker
and the more that you do that sorry just a normal morning in costa rica box trucks going past me every five seconds um the more that you do that the more faith that you're going to build because you're going to see the dots being connected in the rear view mirror and you're going to go oh my god oh my god oh my god okay so this is how we build faith this is how we build our faith muscle and it's it's a journey okay i think this is like how i differentiate the healing journey from the faith building journey. I don't think that we're always healing. I think that we are always evolving, but I do think that there's an end to healing your past perspective of life.
00:24:18
Speaker
And then you just move forward in that energy and you move forward knowing that like,
00:24:26
Speaker
your your perspective has shifted completely and you keep it clear you maintain it right you maintain that clarity by continuously doing truth cleanses as things pop up because they always will you are human you're not a perfect human but my god you are a perfect soul and so as you maintain that clarity and you continue to move forward with that perspective building faith all along as you see the dots connect in the rearview mirror you just evolve and you continuously evolve and you take other people on that journey with you.
00:24:58
Speaker
And that's really it. That's it. Like, that's what this is. That's what I'm doing with you. That's what you're going to do with other people. That's what we're all here to do.
Call to Action and Community Participation
00:25:06
Speaker
We are each a path back to the source of everything that we are.
00:25:11
Speaker
And the more that we can understand that and live that and experience that, the more easily and effective effectively we're going to be able to articulate that and transmit that to other people and they're going to know the truth they're going to know it because they are it right so when you speak the truth they're going to feel it because they are it and they're going to see themselves in you.
00:25:35
Speaker
And that is why they're going to work with you. All right. I love you guys so much. And if you are listening to the podcast right now, please leave five star review if you thought this was super helpful.
