Show Notes

Episode Title:Letting Go of Limiting Beliefs

Episode Number: 19

Welcome to Episode 19 of From the Shadow to the Light, where we dive into Chapter 19 of my memoir, Struck by Lightning: My Journey from the Shadow to the Light.

In this episode, I explore the invisible grip of limiting beliefs—the quiet scripts that shape how we see ourselves and what we believe we can achieve. Louise Hay once said, “If you accept a limiting belief, then it will become a truth for you.” I lived that truth for years, convinced I couldn’t inspire others into leadership. Even with growth and spiritual practice, that belief held me back in ways I didn’t fully see—until a simple but powerful board-breaking exercise changed everything.

At a retreat in 2009, I was asked to write down one limiting belief on a board—and then break through it. What happened next shifted not just my mindset but my energy, my leadership, and my ability to receive life’s abundance. This episode takes you through that experience and its ripple effects. Join me as we explore what it means to release what no longer serves us and open ourselves to the truth of who we really are.

Conclusion

As we close Episode 19, we've explored what happens when we no longer accept the limits we’ve placed on ourselves. From confronting long-held beliefs to physically breaking through them, this journey reminds us that the boundaries we experience are often self-imposed—and completely transformable.

We’ve seen how the Seeker within us urges us to grow, how action ignites transformation, and how our courage to change doesn’t just empower us—it empowers others. When we release the grip of control and open ourselves to trust, life has a way of responding with grace, generosity, and even miracles. Letting go isn’t about losing—it’s about clearing space for who we’re truly meant to become.

Letting go of limiting beliefs is not a one-time event but a lifelong practice. Every time we choose trust over fear, possibility over doubt, we reclaim another piece of ourselves. This is how we move from the shadow to the Light—one belief, one breakthrough, one surrender at a time.

Today, we explored the beginning of surrender, the quiet emergence of inner stillness, the power of symbolic visions, the unmasking of false selves, and the possibility of a new beginning. These themes point us toward something deeper: that healing begins when we stop performing and start listening—when we choose to trust that something holy is already within us, waiting to be remembered.
