Details

What if the one thing standing between you and the business of your dreams isn't time or money or a better strategy, but beliefs and fears in your subconscious that you don't even know are there? Welcome to EFT Breakthroughs, the podcast where I transform women entrepreneurs, businesses, and lives one session at a time. I'm Nancy Linnerooth, Harvard-trained attorney turned therapist, and EFT or tapping expert. Using tapping, I uncover and then release the invisible barriers sabotaging women business owners. You'll experience real sessions as I work with actual women business owners on the issues that they bring, whether that's money blocks or avoiding visibility difficulties with a team or the nonstop pressure to work harder. If you've ever thought, "Well, I know what I have to do. I just can't seem to make it happen," then EFT Breakthroughs is for you. Tap along with us during each episode to release some of your own blocks, because once the blocks are gone, success isn't just possible, it's inevitable.

Ep 37 Why Can I Only Let Myself Rest When I'm Sick?
- From Hustle and Burnout to Listening to Her Inner Wisdom - Part 7 of Jane's Arc on EFT Breakthroughs - Somewhere in Jane’s subconscious was a rule that said she could only rest if she was sick. In the latest episode of her transformation journey on EFT Breakthroughs, we tap on that. Which leads to more beliefs getting in the way of her prioritizing her health. We tap those away too. What Jane realizes then about rest, joy, and her creative flow turns everything she’d been thinking about success on its head. Here are a few of the beliefs we work through in this episode: • “I can only rest if I’m sick.” • “If I’m more successful, I’ll get sick.” • “To be successful, I have to make a lot of sacrifices.” As a bonus, Jane also releases a fear that if she’s more successful, she won’t have time for the people she loves. This is the second-to-last episode of Jane’s journey from hustle and burnout to listening to her inner wisdom, and it may be the most important. There’s no need to go back for the earlier episodes. You can start right here. Watch or listen as Jane rewrites her rules around success, sacrifice, and joy, and stay to the end for the tapping practice that helps her new affirmation really sink in. If you’ve ever thought success has to mean sacrifice, watch and see how you can change that. Happy Tapping! —Nancy TLDR: Tap along as Jane rewrites her rules around success, sacrifice, and joy, and stay to the end for the tapping practice that helps her new affirmation sink in.

A: For Women Entrepreneurs (and others) success does require some planning, prioritization, delegation, and alternating periods of flow and rest. If you have a subconscious belief that you HAVE to sacrifice to achieve your goals, that belief will get in the way of your taking the downtime you need to rest and support your creativity, which can lead to burn-out and prioritizing short-term gains at the expense of long term sustainable and growth-oriented success. Q: Why Am I Working So Hard That I Only Rest When I Get Sick? A: This happens a lot with women entrepreneurs. It means you have something in your subconscious that is driving you to work too hard and not allow yourself to get enough downtime regularly. The most obvious block to check for is "I have to keep working unless I'm sick," but there are a myriad of other subconscious rules and beliefs that can push us to work too hard. New to EFT? Here’s the short version. EFT, often called Tapping, is a simple but powerful technique that uses gentle tapping on specific acupressure points to calm your nervous system and create rapid shifts in the brain. (Yes, the science backs this up: cortisol levels drop, the amygdala downregulates, and you feel safer.) People around the world use EFT for everything from emotional healing and chronic pain to confidence, performance, and big goals. Here on EFT Breakthroughs we use Tapping a little differently. We go after the rules, beliefs, and fears running in your subconscious—so taking action feels easier, cleaner, and faster.

Ep 36 You've Done the Mindset Work. So Why Are You Still Stuck?
You have the vision board, the affirmations, the Joe Dispenza meditations, the MindMovie, and the nightly gratitude list. You’ve probably watched every hour of Esther Hicks on YouTube. And you’re still stuck. In this week’s solo episode of EFT Breakthroughs, I explain why and what to do about it. Think of your subconscious as a box full of books. Once it’s full, you can’t add a new book until you take an old book out. If your box already holds several negative beliefs, your new affirmation has nowhere to land. I’m not saying to stop your mindset practices. I’m saying to make room for them first, and I talk about how in the episode. There’s also a bit of tapping to help you uncover what specific “books” are in your subconscious blocking the positive mindset work you’re doing. Happy Tapping! - Nancy P.S. If you’d like help finding what’s in your box, let’s talk. We’ll go over where things are now, what you want, and what’s been getting in the way, and we’ll see whether working together makes sense.

A: If you've internalized an old message, rule, or belief into your subconscious that conflicts with the new, positive message you are trying to cultivate, that old message may be preventing the new positive message from taking hold. Q: How Can I Find Out What Is Getting In The Way of My Mindset Work? A: One way to surface old blocks that are getting in the way of your mindset work is EFT Tapping. This recording includes a tap-along which you can use to help you identify your internalized blocks. New to EFT? Here’s the short version.

Ep 35 Saying Goodbye To The Old You
- From Hustle and Burnout to Listening to Her Inner Wisdom - Part 6 of Jane's Arc on EFT Breakthroughs - Jane's had more good opportunities come her way since we last tapped. You'd think that would just feel good. Instead, it stirred up a fear that she doesn't actually know her message. She does. She's known it for a while. But the fear didn't care about that. We traced it back to an outdated rule she'd been living by without realizing it. “I have to heal myself first.” Sounds responsible, right? But it's really just a nice-sounding way to keep her stuck. We tapped through it a few different ways this episode. Jane tried out speaking a few different messages out loud while tapping, just to show her subconscious it was safe to be heard. That opened something up she wasn't expecting—the need to say goodbye to an old version of herself, including the grief that brought up. Then we hit some hesitancy about showing up as this newer version of Jane. Turns out some of what she's bringing forward now wasn't exactly welcomed by people in her past. That took us to a memory from her divorce, which we cleared using a simplified version of a tapping technique where you turn the memory into a movie. It's a lot for one session. So we closed with Jane leading herself, and you, through some breathing and visualization to get grounded again. If good news has ever made you more anxious instead of less, or if you’re moving into a new version of yourself, you'll want to tap along with this one. Listen here. Let's tap! —Nancy P.S. Letting go of an old identity, even one that stopped serving you a long time ago, can bring up more grief than you'd expect. If you’d like some help with that, let’s talk: https://unblockresults.com/contact/ TIMESTAMPS 00:00 Overview, Recap of Previous Tapping, And Opportunities Opened 05:16 Emerging Self-Doubt: Do I Have A Solid Message Yet? 06:37 Discovering and Rating Potential Blocks For Today's Tapping 13:18 Tapping On I Have To Heal Myself First 17:29 Practicing Sharing Her Authentic Voice Out Loud While Tapping 33:03 Saying Goodbye To An Old Version Of Herself And The Grieving That Comes With It 48:35 The Gut Punch Moment Movie — Tapping On Being Afraid Of Opening Up Again 55:34 Jane Guides Us In Breathing and Visualization to Ground Yourself IN THIS EPISODE: Q: Why Do I Hesitate To Show Up As My Authentic Self? A: We can become conditioned to present ourselves as the person we need to be at the time to please (and sometimes, to feel safe around) parents, peers, bosses, and family. Subconscious rules of behavior that we believe are protecting us can prevent us from expressing ourselves and acting in new ways that are more fullfilling. Q: Can Tapping Fix Every Subconscious Issue I Have? A: Tapping has broad usefulness in helping us access and release our subconscious beliefs, but it can also be used alongside many other techniques for enhancing and improving ourselves, mentally and spiritually.

Ep 34 Stressed When You Get New Opportunities?
- From Hustle and Burnout to Listening to Her Inner Wisdom - Part 5 of Jane's Arc on EFT Breakthroughs - Jane came in this session lit up. New opportunities were opening up in her life since we tapped last. But … almost immediately, Jane found herself looping on thoughts that the opportunities wouldn't work out, and fears that she'd have to work herself into the ground just to make them happen. When we went looking for what was driving the looping, we found a belief that had nothing to do with logic and everything to do with programming: ease and money don't mix. In this episode of the EFT Breakthroughs podcast, we tap through that belief together, and Jane remembers something she'd forgotten she already knew: the good things in her life have always come when she stopped pushing and let herself receive. We're in the middle of Jane's transformation journey from hustle and burnout to trusting her inner wisdom. You don't need to have listened to the earlier episodes to jump in here (although of course you can). This one stands on its own. Listen and tap along as we change the old rules holding Jane back. Let's tap! —Nancy P.S. Does Jane's story around pushing versus receiving land a bit close to home for you? Let’s uncover what's pushing you.

A: Old programming, for example, memories of traumatic childhood experiences or workplace experiences, and things that family members or bosses said, can stick in your subconscious, and manifest as anxiety when what you are working on now reminds you of those old experiences. Q: Should I try to reach my dreams even though I'm afraid deep down inside that it's impossible? A: Do your due diligence—learn about business, do your research, and consult trusted experts like accountants and lawyers when necessary. In general, though, if you can see a path to your dreams and have the resources you need, the choice to follow your dreams, or not, is yours. Of course, you'll want to get rid of any subconscious fear (deep down or right on the surface) so you can show up whole-heartedly and get the best results when pursuing those dreams. New to EFT?

Ep 33 Why Do I Feel Less Safe When I Have More Money?
Welcome back to Jane's transformation journey from hustle and burnout to listening to her inner wisdom. This episode starts with good news: Jane's creativity has been flowing since our last session. Then we go somewhere harder, to a belief Jane has carried since childhood that money isn't safe. We trace it back to watching her parents' very different reactions to money coming in. What we find underneath surprises her. There’s a second belief about losing her friends if she doesn't struggle with money, and a pattern where she's been playing out both of her parents' roles around the money she makes and spends. By the end of the episode, Jane gets to rewrite the rules and realize she can be loving and loved with money. Listen to how we rewrite Jane’s old survival rules with tapping. And maybe tap along with us to change your own money blocks. Let's tap! —Nancy P.S. If Jane's money story sounds familiar, and you'd love support untangling your own, let’s talk.

A: Some people have trouble holding on to money because they internalize rules and fears, especially in childhood, that subconsciously encourage them to spend or lose any money they receive somehow. A few examples are "Money isn't safe," "I'm not good with money," and "I can't have money AND love." Finding and releasing the specific rules and fears in your subconscious will allow you to follow your conscious decisions to save and invest your money. Q: Am I doomed to repeat the way my parents' handled money? A: No no no. While many people find themselves thinking and acting the same way their parents did around money when they were growing up, you can change that pattern. One powerful way to do that is to surface the rules, beliefs and fears around money in your subconscious and then release them with EFT / Tapping. Then it will be much easier to make and follow conscious choices to handle money the way you want to. Consistently. New to EFT? Here’s the short version.
