The Jim Fortin Podcast

Start Your Transformation Now  In this episode of The Jim Fortin Podcast, Jim Fortin reveals one of the most profound and underutilized powers available to every human being: the imagination.

Drawing on wisdom...

⁠Start Your Transformation Now Have you ever wondered how truly powerful your mind is? We all hear different stories about the “Power of the Mind” but have you experienced that in your own life? Personally, I used my “mind” to heal from a stroke and heart failure, all of which happened in a single year, 2020. And, as I was healing I was searching Youtube for inspirational videos and stories. I had...

Start Your Transformation Now  In this episode of The Jim Fortin Podcast, Jim Fortin breaks down one of the most misunderstood distinctions in human experience: the difference between the brain and the mind. While the brain is organic and biological, the mind is something far greater. And yet, most people allow an overactive brain to run the show — generating endless cycles of fear, worry, and men...

Start Your Transformation Now⁠  If you don’t have what you want in life and you’re not where you want to be it’s because you’re not taking ownership of your life. What is “ownership”? It’s the act, state, or right of possessing something. YOU OWN YOUR LIFE!You own the power to heal, the power to create, the power to manifest, the power to attract, the power to reflectively think and the power to c...

Start Your Transformation Now  In this episode of The Jim Fortin Podcast, Jim Fortin tackles a question that cuts to the heart of modern spiritual life: can you truly call yourself spiritual if you're consumed by worry? Jim draws a sharp line between identifying with spirituality and actually living from it — and reveals why so many self-described spiritual people are still trapped in cycles of fe...

Start Your Transformation Now Every time you judge someone, you are not judging them, they are reflecting you back to yourself. This episode is about how we’re mirrors for each other and how when people judge you, they are not judging you, they are just reacting to who they think you are, based upon who they are. You’ve heard me say before, most people’s two biggest fears are the fear of being aba...

Start Your Transformation Now  In this episode of The Jim Fortin Podcast, Jim Fortin dismantles one of the most widely practiced habits in personal development: affirmations. Jim makes the case that affirmations — far from attracting what you want — are actually a confession of lack. Every time you affirm a truth, you're telegraphing to the universe that you don't yet believe it's real. And the un...

Start Your Transformation Now When people say, “Do you have it IN you,” they're usually talking about resolve and grit and the fortitude to accomplish something. I’m going a different direction with this episode. The Dalai Lama said, “If there is no anger in you, you cannot be angry.” The same applies to every area of your life. What’s in you is what you create. Poverty, wealth, health, poor healt...

Start Your Transformation Now If you’re like me you’ve heard it a million times growing up… “You have to work hard” to have a great life, get ahead, have financial security, etc, etc. Right? It was drilled into our heads by society and our parents and family, and here’s the thing, it’s just not true. After all, you see people working hard for a lifetime and they have little to nothing to show for...

Start Your Transformation Now  In this episode of The Jim Fortin Podcast, Jim Fortin explores one of the most overlooked forces shaping our lives: the fear of silence.

Start Your Transformation Now I personally don’t get it, seriously, what is the negative relationship between spirituality and wealth? It’s interesting that so many people think that spirituality and wealth are incompatible. So, in this episode, I talk about this archaic belief and also about self-worth as it relates to money and wealth. Unlike the person who asked this question I hold the opposit...

Start Your Transformation Now  In this episode of The Jim Fortin Podcast, Jim Fortin reveals that the external world is not the cause of our experience — it is the reflection of it. Every bank balance, health diagnosis, and relationship outcome mirrors the identity we carry within. We don't need to fight our circumstances; we need to change what we're projecting.   Jim explains why so many people...

Start Your Transformation Now In this episode we look at your identity and why you do what you do. You’ll learn that it doesn’t matter what you think you want and it doesn’t matter what you do because you only create in life what you are.

Have you ever wondered why you try and try and try to change but nothing changes? If so, you’re not alone and it’s not your fault, it’s your brain keeping you trapped in your old subconscious identity. In this episode, I delve into the BE-DO-HAVE model of performance which you’ve probably heard me talk about over and over and I talk about why some people still fail with it. I share with you how to...

Start Your Transformation Now In this episode of The Jim Fortin Podcast, Jim Fortin unpacks the provocative statement "today is a good day to die"—not referring to physical death, but to the death of the ego.

It’s not your fault, it’s your brain and you’re not getting the changes you want because you’re working against your brain’s natural function.

Start Your Transformation Now  In this episode of The Jim Fortin Podcast, Jim Fortin explores why so many people feel lost, stuck, or overwhelmed in life—not because life is difficult, but because their attention is divided. Drawing from consciousness-based principles, Jim explains that when attention is split between inner truth and outer circumstances, progress stalls. Wherever attention goes, c...

Start Your Transformation Now Hopefully not, but if you’re like 79% of Americans you’re living paycheck to paycheck. Ironically, money is easy to make and there are a million ways to make a million dollars yet most struggle. In this episode I touch briefly on the mental aspect of money, and I make it brief because Episode 9 clearly lays out how to attract money and how to stop repelling it. In thi...

Drawing from shamanic wisdom, neuroscience, and lived experience, Jim reveals that what we call “problems” are often creations of the ego, sustained by the belief that something is w...

Start Your Transformation Now We’ve all heard it before, “Wow, that blows my mind, it’s mind boggling.” The truth is this, anything mind boggling is something that simply exists outside your personal model of reality. We humans work from tiny models of reality and most of us stay trapped in our small models of the world. St. Germain said, “If humans knew how the laws of the universe worked they’d...

Start Your Transformation Now In this powerful first installment of a two-part mini-series, Jim Fortin explores one of the deepest causes of human suffering: the illusion of identity.
