Survival to success with Diane Gudmundson

This week I was feeling incredibly inspired when I realized that becoming my authentic self and learning about the power of intention to create the life that I desire, was a very powerful tool that WORKS!!! …and I wanted to share it with people. By not sharing the simple magic, I felt I was doing a disservice to people and decided to speak about how I learned to get to that place where I could set...

The pressure and feeling obligated to fix or to help other people with all of their problems create a situation where it takes away your peace and your freedom. If you are always feeling like that you should be or must be helping others with their problems, leads to issues not only with your relationships but also gives you this heavy pressure to always be something for people and to fix them. It’...

Why is it so hard to say no? Why do we feel pressure and worry about rejecting others or looking bad if we say no? Why do you feel unhelpful and not caring and not a good enough person if we say no? Why do we say yes when on the inside we really want to say no? I’ve had to learn this lesson myself because continually saying Yes everybody actually takes away from your own life and the things in you...

I cannot believe how many years I lived saying the words “ I will be happy when…“ And… Was leaving actually in a harried and miserable state most of the time. I was saying things like… I will be happy once my mortgage is paid off or once I actually have time to sit and have coffee or once I achieve XYZ…. Anyway the whole point of this episode is to remind us that happiness is a factory setting. It...

I think about just how many years I lived into prominent masculine energy. That energy supported me through the years of achievement at work and was helpful on so many levels… However it was also detrimental on so many levels at the same time. I speak in this episode about my experience with transforming my life by moving into the feminine energy and why this is so important to build your strength...

If there’s one question I get asked more than any other it is “how do I get unstuck”? And the answer is that being stuck is an illusion, which is a shocker to hear for some people😀. I remember the days where I perceived being stuck and I hired numerous therapists and coaches and various other services which didn’t help and once I became familiar with transformational coaching which transforms dow...

A topic came up for me that I feel deeply passionate about and that is the ability to feel like there are no limits in life. The things that stop us are purely what we’ve been taught and our programming here in the matrix which is the 3-D world. As humans, we live in the 3-D world, but we do not have to be out of this world and it is all choice. We can choose to be our genuine true self and we can...

Oh my goodness, I realize that in the past I have used the term commitment as a constraint. I have felt that by committing to anything at all it would take away my freedom, but quite the opposite is true I have learned. Committing to those small little things that get you to your key goals actually gives you freedom in between! It is unbelievable once I learned this and it’s actually so simple. I’...

What is living in resignation? As most of us, I spent many years living out my childhood programming and all the expectations of society, as most of us do… And …I was achieving and always looking for more in my life and I started out as a nurse and then I became a nurse practitioner because I wanted to be able to do more for patients and I wanted to move up in the world and make more money at the...

If you’re anything like me, you spent years and years taking courses and programs and more coaching and therapy to feel better and to feel more worthy. Learning more does not make us a better person because the best person that we are is found deeper down inside us and I talk about that in this podcast. To find me, please head to my website at www.dianegudmundson.com and sign up with your name and...

What an eye-opener this week… Shame loves silence. This is a quote that I heard through my coaching group and it really struck me in a deep way. It made me start to think about the things from my past that I was ashamed of and that I didn’t really want to talk about. I realize that by not being vulnerable and not open that I really was not going to allow me to help people like I want to. By holdin...

Massive aha moment this past week and I am being open and vulnerable with my discovery and my realizations about my own life and what I’ve been doing to myself. I could’ve sworn last year that I am not the kind of person that’s addicted to struggle, but I have had massive realizations this past week which have open my eyes and literally are causing me to feel Quite disturbed. I did not realize any...

In This episode I talk to you about my story relating to my destructive relationship with food pretty much my whole life since I was 17 years old. There are several things that make intuitive eating impossible. I speak about those in this episode. Imagine… It took me 36 years to figure this out and I now am feeling that sharing this with others is something important that I must do. This is not so...

This episode is a continuation of episode 53 where I talk about my wild ride, moving from Canada to Mexico, and having a Kundalini Awakening. Here, I talk about moving forward in the flow and using ayahuasca and my inner power and guidance. This led me to experience apprenticeship with a teacher in Peru, which was most incredibly powerful experience and taught me a lot about plant medicine. I talk...

In this episode, I talk about what is it about commitment that actually makes a difference in our life? The curious part is that it includes the law of reciprocity where we need to be for ourselves first before we can be for others… It’s a very interesting law, and it applies to everything. Learn more from listening to the podcast by what is happening when we spend our time committing to other peo...

After over 25 years in the western medical system and being on the overachiever, overworking and hamster wheel at the same time trying to do my best work with patients and a broken system. It’s quite a place to be and it can make you feel very stuck. I talk to you about a method I have created to get us unstuck and to be thinking differently that is absolutely magic. Be sure to listenAny questions...

When there are parts of us that we do not love and accept, then that exact exchange of energy shows up in so many detrimental ways in our lives. We can be overweight, unwell, unhealthy, low in energy, have imbalances and many more issues. I remember the days when I treated myself as a scapegoat with hatred and disgust and violence by beating myself up and I tell the story on this episode and talk...

In this episode I talk about why is it that you are where you want to be in life or why are you not where you want to be in your life. The truth is that we create our own reality and are 100% responsible for where we are or or not in our lives… Listen to this episode here about the magic and the four contributors to this exact problemTo send me a direct message find me on Facebook or you may send...

This episode was inspired by the many questions I received after recording episode 56 where I talked about being reborn and the use of plant medicines. I took some time to answer the common questions being asked, and I also share some aspects of my own experiences with Ayahuasca. As a result of the extensive interest, I’m putting together a thorough program about Ayahuasca that I will be posting o...

This episode is where I begin to answer the many questions coming about plant medicine and Ayahuasca specifically. The latest question was about self awareness and how that may be impacted by Ayahuasca and why that is important. Thanks for being here!

Many of us, including me, get caught up in the cycle of helping others and over giving and over giving at our own detriment. So why do we do this? Listen to the podcast and I will discuss why we need to put our own needs first and what is running in the background that is actually self-serving and what to do about it? I also tell you about my own story of learning to put myself first. Contact:Emai...

Have you ever been told that you need to slow down and do less? Do you find yourself focussing on doing things exceptionally well and sometimes spending so much time on things? Do you feel that you need to plan things to be sure what the outcome is going to be ahead of time? Do you tell others… I’m not a perfectionist, I just like things done, right! Or. “I am not hiding, I am just a private perso...

Last episode, I talked about how to know if you or someone else has an issue with perfectionism or what I call “the never enough cycle”. If you have not listened to that episode, I recommend you go back and listen. In this episode, I talk about my story with perfectionism, and how I wore the mask of rejection, my whole life up until a few years ago when I finally became self-aware! It is not uncom...
