Are you doing all the right things but still feeling stuck in the same old patterns? Susan Wise returns to the podcast with a revolutionary approach to personal transformation that might be the missing piece you've been searching for.

Most of us have been taught to avoid difficult emotions or push through them with sheer willpower. But what if these emotions are actually our greatest allies in creating lasting change? Susan shares that 95% of our beliefs about ourselves form before age seven, creating subconscious programming that keeps us stuck in loops despite our conscious efforts to change.

The key to breaking free isn't trying harder—it's meeting your emotions with curiosity, compassion, and even playfulness. Susan walks us through her seven-step "Uplightening Game," a chakra-aligned process that helps women move from stuck to inspired with more ease. What makes this approach unique is how it transforms emotional work from something heavy into something lightened through play. Research shows that habits formed through play can be established in just 10-20 repetitions versus 400 repetitions when approached as work.

One powerful tool Susan offers is asking "How is this happening FOR me?" This simple question immediately shifts us from victim mode to creator mode, helping us access the parasympathetic state where true innovation becomes possible. Rather than trying to "fix" or eliminate emotions, Susan teaches us to honor them as teachers, thank them for their protection, and invite them to vibrate at higher frequencies aligned with our soul's desires.

For women tired of the hustle, Susan recommends two immediate practices: be relentlessly kind to yourself and use your imagination without limits. By allowing yourself to envision possibilities beyond what seems "realistic," you open neural pathways that invite unexpected magic into your life.
