The YES CODE is a guide to breaking through self-sabotaging behaviors. What inspired you to develop this method, and how has it transformed your own life?
After the exceptional results I saw with clients and in myself, I wanted to reach even more people who are struggling. The Yes Code transformed all areas of my life – I no longer procrastinate which enabled me to quadruple my income. I’ve given up people pleasing and being a perfectionist which means I make much clearer and better decisions at work and at home. And making my self-care a priority transformed my health and allowed me to lose and keep off the 25 extra pounds I was carrying around and heal my chronic insomnia.
What are the best question readers could ask themselves to identify the underlying reasons they keep using self-sabotage behaviors?
We know that there is an upside to our self-sabotage behaviors or we wouldn’t be using them. Questions: If you give up these self-sabotaging behaviors and start succeeding in all areas of your life, what are you afraid might happen? How does it serve you to play small and hide your talents?
You tell the readers that emotional safety always wins – what do you mean by that and how can we address this challenge?
If you feel safer when you play small, you will be motivated to sabotage yourself with behaviors such as procrastination and perfectionism so you can stay under the radar. Once you identify how and why shining and being successful scares you, you can treat the real problem – your fears and beliefs – and stop focusing on changing the behavior, which is just a symptom.
You mention using "cutting-edge emotional technology" in your book. Could you elaborate on what this technology involves and how readers can apply it to overcome their limiting beliefs?
I use EFT or “tapping” as my emotional technology. This technique combines the art of ancient Chinese acupuncture and modern psychology to rewire your brain when fears or beliefs block your progress. Once you eliminate your fears and resolve your outdated beliefs, the rewiring happens in your brain, and you will no longer need to block your success. The technique can be self-applied on a daily basis for all fears and beliefs, is painless, and has shown no side effects.
In the book, you draw from your personal hardships and experiences in the mental health field. What was one of the most challenging moments in your journey, and how did it shape the creation of The YES CODE?
One of the most challenging experiences in my life was the death of my younger sister from cancer. It brought home the urgency that “life is short” and I knew I needed to get in high gear to stop getting in my own way and start following the best path for myself. This profound loss and how I dealt with it helped shape The YES CODE.
For readers struggling with perfectionism or procrastination, what is one key action from The YES CODE they can start implementing today to begin their transformation?
They can ask themselves the best questions to get to the bottom of “why” they struggle with these behaviors – What do these behaviors protect you from? What are you afraid of if you stop procrastinating or trying to be perfect? Once they find out the real reason they’re using these behaviors, they can treat the underlying fears and beliefs with EFT/ Tapping and release them quickly and permanently.
