"Are you ready to shift into your next evolution. Your next level is going to require a different version of you!"On this episode Colette sits down with Jake Kauffman a High Performance Coach & Business Mentor to mission driven coaches & entrepreneurs.Jake explains that our true success is hiding in our pain and that addressing our pain from the past will set us free from repeating the same patterns year after year. Unless we address the pain from the past, we will only recycle it in the present. Jake shared his deepest, darkest trauma that unlocked more love, purpose, and abundance in his life. He knows that in order to face this version of ourselves, we need to embark on a state of not being in control. Otherwise our ego keeps us in control in the same patterns over and over.  Jake hosts retreats for men to challenge them let go of control and face their pain, so they can start building the next version of themselves for greater abundance in life.Jake suggests we consider: "if my greatest strength is a compensating strategy, what is my greatest strength for?"Get to know Jake:Deep down I knew that I was only scratching the surface of my potential. I always knew I was supposed to have a huge impact but I felt like there was something holding me back that I wasn't aware of. No matter how hard I worked...or what I tried I couldn't seem to reach that next level in my coaching business...I was overworked and overwhelmed. Despite all of my success I felt unfulfilled...It left me sad & frustrated.Ultimately I realized that it had nothing to do with my business and everything to do with me...It was my personal issues and subconscious self-sabotage that was preventing me from creating even greater success and having the impact I knew I was capable of!Inspired to reach your greatest potential check out Jake's work here:Website: https://www.awakewithjake.com/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/jake.kauffman.923Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/iamjakekauffman/Jake's Book: Let Love In: The Pain Stops When the Truth Starts: https://www.amazon.com/Let-Love-Stops-Truth-Starts/dp/B0C1J3FDPX/______________________________________ Connect with Colette:Instagram: @wellnessbycolette Website: Wellness by Colette Thank you for listening to the Limitless Healing podcast with Colette Brown!
