The Subconscious Expert: Mindset, Identity Work & Embodied Leadership for Ambitious Women

The Subconscious Expert: Mindset, Identity Work & Embodied Leadership for Ambitious Women

The Subconscious Expert is a podcast about the subconscious mind, identity and self leadership for powerfully ambitious women who know what they want next and are ready to become the version of themselves who can actually hold it. You’re doing well, your business works, you’re smart, driven and you already know a lot and yet, behind the scenes, you can feel that something about the way you’ve been operating doesn’t quite fit anymore. Maybe consistency still feels harder than it should, maybe success feels heavier as things grow, maybe you lead everyone else powerfully, but struggle to lead yourself with the same clarity and self trust or maybe you can feel a bigger level calling you, and you want to meet it without burning out, overthinking, or losing yourself in the process. This podcast is for that moment. I’m your host, Rebecca Haydon NLP Trainer and Subconscious Business Mentor. I work with the subconscious side of business growth, identity, and leadership. I work with women building businesses at different stages and the patterns underneath are rarely as different as you’d expect. What’s happening at a subconscious level is what we work with here. Each week on The Subconscious Expert, we unpack subconscious patterns, identity shifts, and self-leadership skills that shape how you: • lead yourself • make decisions • handle responsibility and visibility • hold more success • sustain the level you’re stepping into These episodes are grounded, practical conversations rooted in NLP, subconscious work and leadership, supporting you to trust yourself more, feel clearer about what to do, and lead in a way that actually feels solid to live inside. This is the kind of work that shortens the gap between knowing what to do and actually doing it, the kind that changes how you show up day to day and the kind that lets your next level feel like something you can stand in. If you’re ready to build a life and business that matches who you’re becoming, you’re in the right place. New episodes weekly.

Your calendar is full. Your days are packed. You are grafting. And yet your business still feels like it's running you instead of the other way around. That's not a time management problem. That's your leader identity trying to get your attention underneath a pile of doing.

In today's episode, I'm breaking apart the doer identity, the part of you that was built to be the reliable one, the one who got things done, the one who never l...

You've been waiting for the proof... the consistent months, the sold out programme, the income that finally feels like enough, the moment you can see exactly how it's going to work before you fully back yourself.

And every time you get close - something shifts. The goalposts move, you explain it away and you go back to waiting.

In this episode, I break down exactly what is happening in your subconscious when you wait for proof and wa...

You've probably seen the stat shared on Instagram. A coach drops it in their sales page. Someone quotes it on a podcast. Ninety five percent of your behaviour is driven by your subconscious mind and everyone nods, shares it, repeats it. But here's the question nobody is actually answering, what does that mean for your real life? For your business? For the pattern you keep finding yourself in despite knowing exactly what you should ...

You had a strong month, the best one yet and instead of letting it land, you exhaled, went quiet, and within weeks you were barely talking about your offers again.

Or you wrote the post. The one that actually said what you think and then you read it back, decided it was too much, and posted the safe version instead.

Or you sat down to finally work on your own business, the thing that would actually move the needle and within ten minu...

You have a groove. A neural pathway your brain has been running so automatically, so invisibly, for so long, you've started to mistake it for your personality.

In this episode, I breaks down one of the most powerful concepts in neuroscience, neurons that fire together wire together and what it actually means for the patterns showing up in your business right now.

Why you keep returning to the same income level, why the good months do...

You published that post. You felt that instant gratification rush. And then three minutes later you were already refreshing the app to see how many views you got. That rush is not just a habit anymore. It is actively rewriting your subconscious beliefs about what is possible for you in your business, and it is happening way beneath your conscious awareness.

Every time you check and find nothing, your brain files it as evidence. Evid...

You are doing all the things. Showing up, creating, working with clients, building something so amazing and still there is this little voice underneath it all, the sense that you are not fully in it yet.

Half in half out feels like playing it safe and it is actually the most exhausting thing you can do. Because full commitment takes less energy than the negotiation happening inside you every single day.

Secondary gain is the reason you keep pulling back every time things start working. Not because you're lazy. Not because you don't want it. But because your subconscious is getting something from keeping you exactly where you are.

In today's episode, I'm walking you through the exact process I use with my 1:1 clients to find what causes self-sabotaging behaviours, the NLP techniques I use to uncover subconscious patterns running und...

Every single boundary in business I ever broke, I could justify. I told myself I was being responsive, being committed, being a good coach... But underneath all of that? I was terrified. Terrified that if I wasn't always available, people would leave. That if I said no, I wasn't valuable. And those people pleasing tendencies didn't start in my business. They started way before that, in a subconscious programme I picked up before I ...

You worked all day. You're knackered. And yet when you look at what actually moved the needle in your business… nothing. Welcome to productive procrastination! The sneakiest self-sabotaging cycle I see amongst women business owners. You've had results. You know the strategy. So why do you procrastinate on the exact things that would grow your business?

You can have it all. A thriving business, a deeply connected relationship, incredible health, time with your family, and actual fun. So why does it feel like the moment one area starts going well, another one falls apart? That's the question that I hear as a mindset coach for women all the time!

In today’s episode, I am diving into the self-sabotage behaviour that so many successful women entrepreneurs experience without even realis...

You hit a great month, maybe your first £10k, £20k, maybe £50k and you're buzzing. Then next month... nothing. You're back to wondering if anyone's going to buy, back to panic mode, back to good old chaos.

Stable success is built in the boring repetition that comes after the peak.

And for high achievers? Boring feels dangerous. You're used to the adrenaline, the rush of a surprise sale, the high of not knowing if it'll work.

But chaos...

Mindset blocks don't always look like fear or doubt. Sometimes they look like being the most capable person in the room.

Laurie came to me as a self-described "anti woo-woo" woman who had no interest in the fluffy mindset stuff. She wanted someone to tell her what to do so she could tick it off and move on. But she also knew something was off. The reps weren’t converting. The results weren’t matching the effort. And deep down, she s...

You did the work. You made the identity shifts. So why does becoming your "higher self" feel less like power and more like... boredom? Or grief? Or just plain weird?

Here's what no one tells you about an identity shift: it doesn't always feel good. Sometimes it feels like death. And that space between your old identity and who you're becoming? I call it the void. And it's where I see so many people quit, not because the work isn't w...

Your income cycles between the same numbers every month. £3K, £7K, £2K, £8K, repeat. You get momentum for two weeks, then something drops on day 15. Every single time. You can post three times a week comfortably, but four posts triggers "this is too much."

You think these patterns are random, they're not.

Your subconscious has an identity ceiling and that ceiling has specific numbers, trigger points and thresholds where your brain re...

You're scrolling Instagram again. You see her. The one who's always launching something new, making the kind of money you want, living the life you dream about. And before you know it, you're 45 minutes deep comparing yourself to others, analysing their content, checking their engagement, and feeling heavy as hell.

This comparison spiral is not costing you only time but your self trust, your self belief, and your ability to build th...

There's one trait I see in every genuinely successful entrepreneur I work with and it's not what you think. It's not strategy, work ethic, or even talent. It's deep, subconscious self belief that operates independently of circumstances. In this episode, I'm breaking down what self belief actually is (versus what most people think it is), the subconscious mechanism behind it, why most capable people don't have it, and exactly how to...
