E129 - The Subconscious Mind: Rewiring Your Brain for Better Parenting with Freeman Beals
The moment Freeman Beals became a father, everything he thought he knew about stress management was put to the ultimate test. Despite years of coaching others through emotional regulation, he found himself experiencing unprecedented anger and frustration with his toddler – reactions he never anticipated and couldn't seem to control.
This humbling revelation led Freeman down a fascinating path of discovery into the subconscious mind. What he learned transformed not only his relationship with his son but his entire approach to coaching and personal growth. The key insight? We can't think our way out of subconscious problems. No matter how much we consciously understand what we should do, our deepest programming will override our best intentions every time.
During this riveting conversation, Freeman demonstrates his technique live, guiding us through a visualization exercise that produces immediate shifts in anxiety. The process is surprisingly simple yet profoundly effective – pushing troubling images through a window, into the sky, and watching them shrink until they disappear. The physiological changes are instant and remarkable.
Freeman now works exclusively with business-owning fathers who find themselves caught in reactive patterns they can't seem to break. His approach doesn't aim to eliminate emotions (which serve important purposes) but rather to balance their intensity. The metaphor he uses is perfect: emotions are like waves, and we don't want extreme highs or destructive lows, but manageable fluctuations that inform without overwhelming.
This episode offers more than just fascinating insights – it provides a window into cutting-edge techniques that create rapid, lasting change. Whether you're a parent struggling with unexpected reactions, someone battling anxiety, or simply curious about the incredible power of the subconscious mind, you'll walk away with both practical tools and a new understanding of why knowing better doesn't always translate to doing better.

What's going on, guys, and welcome back to another episode of Surviving the Side Hustle. Today we've got a special episode for you because we've got a blast from the past, actually A guest from episode number 7, which dropped all the way back in October 8th of 2023. So it's crazy to think about it, it's almost two years later from when we're recording now, from when we first originally recorded. But today, in case if you haven't listened to it, recently, we've got Mr Freeman Beals on and I'm excited because the last time that he joined me on the show, we went deep on a topic that impacts every entrepreneur, high performer and side hustler that I know, and that is stress, but not in the usual avoid it all cost kind of conversation Freeman stress management.
Speaker 1:At the time, he was coaching a lot of clients and he's he was. He was teaching us how to flip the script. Instead of telling you to cut out the stress, he showed us how to use it and how to see certain stressors as fuel for your performance rather than a threat to avoid. We also talked about how we talked about the difference between eustress, which is the good stress that drives growth, and distress, which drags you down. He also taught us the simple shifts like gratitude, journaling and movement that rewires your brain for optimism and resilience. And he also shared with us his STOP framework that he uses to interrupt negative spirals, regain clarity and turn challenges into actionable plans. And we also talked about why macro wins matter more than micro losses if you're playing the long game. So that was an incredible conversation. It was the kind where you walked away with both mindset shifts and actual practical tools that you can use immediately. And today he's back and he's got some new projects and adventures going on, so I'm excited to dive in.
Speaker 1:After that long intro, freeman man, welcome back to the show. How are you doing?
Speaker 2:Good Rod, Thank you for that amazing intro. Wow, I can't believe that was almost two years ago. It's like hearing the recap of a different person and I'm just so grateful that you're bringing me back on again. It was a pleasure talking to you last time and hearing that I can't believe we covered so much last time. I was like wow, we dove into some deep stuff and I'm excited to dive into some deeper stuff today and kind of explain what's changed and what's shifted in my life.
Speaker 1:Yeah, yeah, I'm excited to kind of dive in. I know right before we started recording, you were telling me that you just driven all over Canada, I guess, and I'm interested to hear more about it. I know recently you had a move, you got a career changes and things like that and a lot has happened. So I'm excited. Like where do you even want to kick it off? Like how do you, where do we even go from here?
Speaker 2:Right, where do we start? Well, I think the biggest change for me I guess that I'll drop in is like last time we chatted, you said it was October of 23. So it would have been recently after we had our first kid. We had him in May and that's when a lot of things started to shift, as I imagine, if there's parents listening out there, it just changes the whole scope of your life, and I actually backed away from coaching for quite a long time. I had so much going on that it wasn't possible to uh, to juggle coaching anymore. And then, yeah, most recently was kind of some things that have come up and some training things like that. I've. I've gotten back into coaching kind of under a new lens and a new path, and that's probably the biggest shift that has sort of happened with me, I would say, in the last few years. This is kind of I don't want to call it a new style of coaching, but it's a new way of looking at life that I think has really shifted things for me.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I feel like once a coach, always a coach, and the kind of hat that you're wearing. The coaching hat you wear changes all the time. So, like, being a father is a form of a coach, being a husband is a form of coach for yourself, or just a general leading the family and such, and whether you are shifting from like any kind of coaching, like nutrition to fitness, to performance coaching, like how I made in my career, it's always evolving, for the best is what I would imagine.
Speaker 2:Yeah, being comfortable, that shift to the challenge, right, I think. I mean I'm sure that you're you know, you've probably wrestled with that concept right Of like, oh, do I go with this new change, like I'm changing personally? How do I adapt that into my coaching but not lose what I've done and stuff? It certainly is an interesting position. I think having kids does that as well. Right, you're like, okay, I still want to have impact, I still want to help people, but now I have this new identity that is part of who I am, and how do I change what I've done to kind of fit into that? And then what kind of friction points drop in place and how do I clear those?
Speaker 1:Yeah, I think major changes really create that new shift in identity and such Like. For me, the whole idea like I thought I was going to be a strength and conditioning coach my entire life and I probably would still be there too, maybe if my dad hadn't passed and I had that awakening of like okay, this is, there's more to my life, there's more to what I want to be, creating and making that shift. And losing somebody is tough and terrible and it's a huge change. And then, equally huge is becoming a parent. So that's a huge shift for yourself where you had to rededicate and, like you said, it's tough because you don't want to lose that identity of who you were. And one of my mentors told me was like, don't let go of that identity, just evolve it into the new one. So I'm curious to hear like got back into coaching, how has it changed? Are you still working with just stress clients or how have you changed?
Speaker 2:into, like. So the biggest thing was, like, I think and hopefully this will, you know, resonate with people and make sense when you have that big change. So for rob, whether it was you, was, you know, parent passing away or somebody having a new kid, but when you have a massive shift in your life, you were then brought together with, like new challenges and new things that maybe didn't occur before. So for me, as a parent, I had always been a very patient person, right, I had a lot of patience and that's why I understood public psychology and all these things. This all makes sense.
Speaker 2:And then I have a kid and now I'm being presented with new environmental stimulus that I've never experienced before in my life, right, and then I'm getting all these responses that I've never had before in my life.
Speaker 2:So, like I don't know where they came from.
Speaker 2:But then suddenly I was like reacting with like anger that I didn't really ever have before and like just to be vulnerable and like open.
Speaker 2:It's like I hit the point where it's like I had to leave the house sometimes because I was just so frustrated with things and I didn't know what to do with that, which was super weird coming from somebody who, like deals with stress management and does positive psychology.
Speaker 2:Like I should be able to handle all these things right and that really opened the door for me to understand that there was more going on in my brain than I realized was happening and that helped me get into doing a lot of the subconscious work that I do now, where it was like, even though I should have been a person who was very good at managing stress, the stimulus that I was getting made my subconscious brain kick into gear before my conscious brain could do something about it. So now the coaching that I do was primarily with dads and primarily was business. Owning dads is to help them kind of break those old subconscious patterns that they don't realize that they're stuck in, so that they can, like live the life that they really want to live and show up the way they want to show up. And that's where I am now.
Speaker 1:And it's it's been completely game changing for me. Yeah, it sounds like it's a full circle. So, like you said, you've got the awareness and the conscious brain, you get the strategies and the tips and the tools to really handle the different things life throws at you, and now you've also equipped yourself with the things that handle the subconscious or the unconscious kind of portion of ourselves.
Speaker 2:so that's cool, yeah yeah, it was something that I always noticed when, when I was doing coaching, right, is that people would be like you know, a big example for me is people were like, oh yeah, I know I shouldn't watch the news first thing in the morning, but I still am.
Speaker 2:I'm like, okay, but why aren't you like we've been on this for weeks now, like let's just stop watching the news, um, and I know now that most likely that was because of a, of a subconscious block, right, whether it was a limiting belief or um, like a stuck pattern that they were, that they were locked into they couldn't change.
Speaker 2:And then so the stuff that I've learned now through the training that I've done kind of helps almost bypass that and you get to like reinstall a new version of um, of a pattern, kind of like. I just had this metaphor come up the other day and it was like if you ever have spotify and you're listening to all your music on shuffle, you don't control what song comes up next. Like imagine if you couldn't access the queue, right, and just whatever song came up next was the song that came up next and you could never control that. It would be disorientating, right. You'd be like listening to like some jazz and then, like van halen would come on. You'd be like what is happening? But like the work that I help people with is like opening up that queue and deciding what song comes next interesting.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I like that, I like that. That's pretty cool. And so how did you, oh, go ahead?
Speaker 2:no, I was just gonna say it's quite profound, like when I realized I was like whoa, this is, this is cool stuff. And I think there's still. There's totally a space where you still need other powerful frameworks in your life. Right like I can go in and shift somebody's subconscious belief on something fitness is a great example, because people understand it. I can go in and change their subconscious belief of wanting to go up and go to the gym, right, or eating better, but if they don't have a nutrition plan, it doesn't matter. So it's like, yes, you need a subconscious belief, but you still also need somebody who's going to give you the framework that you have to follow. So it's a bit of both.
Speaker 1:I like it. Yeah, it's pretty sweet stuff. So how did you, how did you equip yourself with this? I know you kind of were going through some training.
Speaker 2:What did? How did that look like and what was that all about? Yeah, it's the first time I've ever done any actual in-person training. So I got into coaching. I think, like many coaches, people were telling me man, you're good at you, should, you should coach, you're good at talking to people and stuff like that. So like, yeah, sure, I'll coach, but this is the first time I'd kind of made the commitment commitment both monetarily and time-wise to actually go and take some training. So I got into contact with a gentleman who does nlp coaching, so neurolinguistic programming.
Speaker 2:So I flew out to the other side of the country and I spent a week actually doing that training, not knowing what I was going to do it for, like I said, I wasn't coaching at this point in time. I went out there just to see what it was about. My wife had taken the same training. She'll say you have to go do this. I was like, all right, committed to it, went and did it. Um, and, like I said, I didn't think that I'd be even maybe getting back into coaching. I was like, I don't know this fits into the whole stress management thing, but it was there on the course that I started to get these like unlocks and these changes was how I viewed my relationship with my son in my life and I was like like, oh, this is really beneficial, this is really cool.
Speaker 2:Again, didn't think I'd be doing back into coaching. I was just like absorbing how great this was. And then I was driving home from the course, I was in the car and I was driving home, I was listening to a podcast or something and it just like hit me out of nowhere. I was like more dads need this. This is something that dads need. I know how impactful it was for me and I know it changed my relationship with my son and I was like, holy crap, like dads need this. And it was so visceral I had to pull over for five minutes. I was like I need to just absorb how impactful this is. And yeah, now it's. I don't think I've ever been as driven to do something as I am for this work.
Speaker 1:And to do something, as I am for this work, that I and I can relate to the sensation or feeling that you experienced, because first time that I had gone to it's called an, it's called the Apprenticeship hosted by Brett Bartholomew and the rest of the staff over at Art of Coaching who I've worked together with from time to time, coming in and facilitating some of those workshops. But for me it was like, oh my gosh, how to communicate better, no-transcript? So not only are the kids of the parents benefiting from it, but also the businesses and everything else too. So it's like incredible stuff, man.
Speaker 2:Yeah, it is, it really is. It's like, like I said, I do work with dads to change how they react with their kids, but it changes how they show up with their jobs and how they show up to their partners right and how they show up for themselves by making these kind of I almost want to call them subtle mindset shifts. But like there's nothing subtle about it, like it's pretty, you know, it can be emotional, it can be moving and I mean it's not for everybody, right. I think that when you get into doing subconscious work and you kind of get into that, like you know, deep levels of like kind of yoga and hypnosis and stuff like that, for some people might find that a little off putting, but you know when, when you kind of accept it and start listening to your own subconscious, whatever those words are, what those meanings are, yeah, it's uh, it's hard to put into words, yeah.
Speaker 1:Pretty cool. Pretty cool and I guess it pairs so well. Since you've learned these new things, has working with you kind of changed, because I know you went away from coaching and now you're kind of back into it. What is the flow of coaching or working with you kind of look like?
Speaker 2:no-transcript work or you know, here's a you know three-step formula you can follow to do xyz thing. Like I said, I believe that those are important but it's more of working through deeper level things. So, whether it be working through limiting belief, working through your relationship with emotions or doing like timeline work to change what you believe something to mean in the past. To quickly kind of explain that, sigmund Freud developed the concept of like and most people have heard this you know, we are our past, right, we are the things that happened to us. There was another psychologist at the time, adler, who kind of changed it a little bit and he said we are what we believe our past to mean. And the cool thing with that addition is you can change what you believe the past events to mean. You can't change them. Obviously we can't change what happened to us.
Speaker 2:But if we can go back in and change our understanding of those, it begins to shift our entire understanding of how we show up in the future, begins to shift our entire understanding of how we show up in the future, because how our brains work a quick little lesson here how our brains work is something happened to us. Our brain gave that a meaning said okay, when this thing happens, I feel this way. And then for the rest of your life, every time that happened, your brain reinforced that belief. Because that's what our brains do, right they want to be more efficient. It goes and finds things that reinforce that belief. If you go back and change your initial concept of that event and go well, what if it actually meant this? Or what if this is the lesson I can learn from there? Then now you show up differently because now your brain is looking for other pieces of evidence. It goes okay, actually that means this, and I'm going to show up differently and look for these things now. So that's another bit of the work that I do.
Speaker 1:Wow, so there's pretty deep kind of stuff there, yeah it's very like hypnotherapy based and a lot of like kind of visualization and yeah, how long, how long? So I guess you work individual sessions. Is it like one-on-one with your clients or how does that even look? Is it like just like a three hour sit down and kind of deep dive into my brain and and fix everything up? That's like a little off or what does it kind of?
Speaker 2:yeah it feels a bit like that. So it's it's a program um, I call it my deep dive program. So it's five sessions intermixed with some like videos and stuff like that which just condenses it down, so it's not as much time spent. You know kind of teaching concepts. So I do the teaching of the concepts in like pre-recorded videos so you don't have to sit there and just listen to me explain something to you like I just did, but instead we dive onto a one-on-one conversation. We actually work through something in your subconscious and we kind of do it's about seven sessions, depending on how fast some of the timeline stuff works. Yeah, it usually takes about about a month and a half or two months, depending on the person's availability, but it can be quick. I mean, that's the biggest thing that like the difference between this work and say traditional talk therapy is the work that I do is very quick. Oftentimes people will notice something like shift in the session and they'll get that benefit like the next day or right away. It's really really quick, almost surprisingly quick.
Speaker 1:So I'm curious, though what is it that your clients are walking away with? So some kind of a shift or something? Is it like an emotion? Is it like what is it? How do I know, first of all, how do I know if you'd be a right fit for me? And then, what can I expect to feel or experience or have when I'm done working with you?
Speaker 2:Yeah, totally Super fair questions, and I think the best way to do it is to demo it, because it's hard to explain. So I think if we just demo it, take five minutes and I'll show you, and then you'll feel what it actually feels like to kind of have this quote unquote shift.
Speaker 1:Yeah, can we do it here on the episode.
Speaker 2:Yeah, totally yeah. I will say, though if people are listening and you want to follow along, you can, because you don't like, there's not going to really be a back and forth here, so you can follow along.
Speaker 1:But if you're driving or something, because I know, people like to do that, like don't do this while you're driving because it'll completely distract you and it'll be a bad idea All right, good, good disclaimer there.
Speaker 2:Thank you, yeah. So yeah, if you're listening on audio, don't fall along and then maybe turn back in. So, rob, do you have a window in your office?
Speaker 1:Yeah, I'm looking at one. I got one behind me. What do I got to do and can you see?
Speaker 2:the sky from your window. It's not like another apartment block. You can see the sky. Yeah, I can see it. Okay, cool. So all I'm going to ask you to do is turn yourself towards the window and you don't have to check back in and look at me or anything. You can just look at the window the whole time. You can just kind of nod as things happen. You'll give me a nod and that way I know you've kind of moved, moved or problem or something like that.
Speaker 1:An event that happens to you, that gives an emotion that you don't really want it could be like anxiety, fear, maybe overwhelm, anger, I guess, like you know, sometimes just like going into the beginning of the week if I don't have everything all like programmed out, like meeting notes for the client calls that I have to do, and or my content scheduled and like scheduled out, because then I kind of feel like, oh, I got to do the editing, I got to do the prep, all that kind of stuff, so I get anxious for that anxious, okay, anxious is the fun one we can work with.
Speaker 2:Anxious, okay, um. So I want you to think about a time recently and you kind of explain one there a little bit where you really felt anxious, um, and you had that feeling of anxious't have to be crazy, huge. But just a time when you felt anxious and I want you, while you're looking at that window, I want you to create a picture of that situation in front of the window that is on your side of the window, and then I want you to associate into that event so make sure that you're kind of looking at it through your own eyes. You're, in the event, seeing what you saw, hearing what you heard, and you felt those anxious feelings. All right, now I want you to make that picture really bright in color. So change the color so they're really vibrant, right up into high contrast. If there are any sounds associated with that event, you can make those sounds nice and loud. If there's not, that's totally fine too. And once you've done that, I want you to put a frame around the event, kind of like a picture frame. Now I want you to step out of that picture so that now you're looking at yourself in it. So you're still there, your body's still there, but you're away from it. Cool, all right.
Speaker 2:Now here's the fun part. Now take that picture and put that picture on the other side of the window. So now it's a little bit obscured, and you'll notice that if there was any sounds, they're a little quieter now. Maybe the colors are a little less vibrant. It's almost blurry on the other side of the window now. No-transcript. Now push that picture out into the sky. As you do so, make that picture black and white, dim the color down on it as well, and now push it even farther away. Push it farther, higher up into the sky, so far away that it's now just the size of a postage stamp. Push it even farther now so it just becomes a little dot, a little tiny black dot that you can't even make out. You can't even see that picture anymore. And it's so far away now that you don't hear any sounds. And try as you might, you can't see or hear anything from that image anymore.
Speaker 2:And just notice how that feels different. Now, and whenever you're ready, you can kind of come back in and focus down.
Speaker 1:Yeah, that was interesting.
Speaker 2:Yeah. So now I'll do a quick thing with that as well. I want you to think about a time now in the future was a similar event where you would have felt that old feeling of anxiety. I want you to really try now to feel that old feeling. You'll notice that it's just, she's not there yeah, it's crazy.
Speaker 1:It's so weird as I was kind of like pushing it away and further and further. I kind of like felt like something kind of like pushing it away and further and further. I kind of like felt like something kind of like like in my brain, almost kind of like moving, and it was like do people normally feel?
Speaker 2:stuff like that. It's super common to feel something physical when it happens. Yeah, for some people it'll be like a lightness in the chest maybe. Or you'll notice, like I know, sometimes as clients, like their posture changes, changes, their chest opens up.
Speaker 1:That's why it's hard to explain with words, because I was like you, just got to feel it, because it's so hard to explain yeah, I did feel like myself move, like getting more upward, as I was kind of like pushing it further and further away, and I felt like something was like like like a breeze kind of blowing over my like brain.
Speaker 2:If that's like weird, but that was interesting that's just, and that's the cool thing that I've learned with this, right is that, like your subconscious will show up in interesting ways and for you it sounds like you get almost like a cool like brainwash with it. Right, that like cooling over the scalp. That's super cool. Yeah, I'm always amazed at like the way that people react and change to these types of things. It's one of my favorite things about it actually is seeing the results that people get from it.
Speaker 2:Yeah, that's pretty sweet, yeah. So that's like a quick example of like some of the deeper work that I do. That's obviously very surface level. That's changing one event. When you go and do like bigger deep dives with people and get into stuff, instead of changing one event, you change all events. So this is called.
Speaker 2:Our brain stores memories and things called gestalts, which is like a grouping of similar things called a gestalt. So we store memories the same way. So if you go in and change the meaning behind a memory and you change the gestalt, your brain actually goes in and changes all of the meanings behind those events and events similar to it, and you'll notice this a little bit as you go throughout your day, or maybe tomorrow or something like that, you'll notice how those events will begin to feel different. I'm not gonna tell you that you're not gonna feel anxious ever again. Okay, that would be wild, right, it's one of the cool things about the work that I do that I've noticed as well is that all of those emotions that we feel are important right, they all have a positive connotation behind them, but what it does is it changes the level of the emotion.
Speaker 2:So if you picture like a wave right of your emotions. You don't want high highs, you don't want low lows, right. So for me it was like with anger, right. It's not that anger is inherently bad. Some anger is okay, but having a very high level of anger right isn't good. It means I had to leave the house, right. But now when my toddler does something, that's just frustrating. It's just frustrating and I can recognize it being frustrating, but I don't drop into high levels of anger. So it's about having this balanced level of emotion.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I love that and I'm glad that you said that too about the never experiencing anxiety again, because I'm in the kind of bucket of an individual that believes that there aren't any real negative emotions or sensations. Like we should be able to feel the good ones and I guess quote unquote the negative ones. Like it's okay to feel sad or upset or anxious or stressed, even at different times and I think you hit it on the head there, because I teach a lot of that from a different perspective but like it's okay to experience these things but you want to be aware of them and be able to bring yourself back to baseline and I think that's super powerful, what you're teaching and helping these individuals kind of experience and learn too.
Speaker 2:Yeah, you nailed it. That's exactly it, a hundred percent right. Like anxiety super important, right, it means we get stuff done, but when we're so anxious that we freeze and we can't do anything, we lose productivity. Well, now that anxiety is not helpful anymore, right, but yeah, you need it because otherwise you wouldn't do anything. It's like fear, right. People like, oh, I don't want to be afraid, I'm like no, you probably do.
Speaker 2:Like it's what keeps you alive, literally yeah yeah if you weren't afraid of things, you'd walk into the highway and get hit by a car Right yeah, fear is important, so you got to touch the, you got to touch the hot stove to know that it's, that's what you want.
Speaker 1:to be fearful of it. Right, exactly.
Speaker 2:Yeah, and I will too as well. Um, I just realized, kind of we did, that I want them to be able to access it, so I'll put together an audio for them and I'll give it to you, rob. You can put in the show notes and they can go and download it and access it there.
Speaker 1:Yeah, cool, sweet, sweet. Yeah, that'd be great, that'd be cool, and then I'd love to check it out too and be able to go back to it whenever I'll tracks. There we go, that works, that works. So. So, people who are listening and did go through this, or maybe they're going back to and re-listening to this and they're like, yeah, this is something cool that I want to kind of get into and do a little bit more with. How do they know, though, that they need your help? Cause I feel like a lot of times, people don't recognize, if they don't know, that something's kind of triggering or causing these problems or emotions and things. How do they know that they need your help or help, kind of like what you're doing?
Speaker 2:yeah, I'll share my favorite line with this. That um took me a while to come up with, but once I realized it I was like oh yeah, that's it. If you, if you know the answer to something, right, but you're not doing it, okay, it's because it's a subconscious problem. So you cannot consciously think your way out of a subconscious problem because otherwise you would have right. So, for example, if you're like I know I should be, you know I've, I've got a coach already, or I've paid for this program, but I'm still not getting out of bed and I'm still not doing this, and like it's causing a bit of grief or annoyance to you, but you're still not getting out of bed and I'm still not doing this. And like it's causing a bit of grief or annoyance to you, but you're still not changing it.
Speaker 2:It's usually because it's stuck under a subconscious belief, or if you're reacting in a certain way that you don't want to be right. If you're like well, how does how come? Every time this thing happens, I do this and then later on I regret it or feel bad, right, that's because it's locked behind something subconscious. So a great example is like smoking. Right, a lot of smokers smoke because they don't. It's a habit and it's a bad habit and they want to kick it right and they know that it's bad for them, but they still do it anyways. So that's a great example of it right.
Speaker 1:So this is typically used um to help people with like smoking or eating disorders or something like that yeah, or like constantly setting the alarm to go to the gym in the morning and then not getting to it or not following through, or different things like that. Like, yeah, I can see how that helps, awesome. And so where do people go to reach out to your coach? Are you taking on new clients for this?
Speaker 2:Yeah, so I do have some availability. I only do five clients a month because that's all that I have time for, so, depending on when this comes out, I may or may not have some spots available. But as of right now, I have some coaching spots available.
Speaker 1:So how do they get in touch with you if they're interested in diving a little bit more into this?
Speaker 2:Yeah. So your best bet is to go to my website, which is freemanbealscom, and on my website you can book directly into what I call my breakthrough session, which is just a one hour session where we dive in, and you know, it's bigger than what we just did, rob, but it's not a full, obviously, package, but it's just a quick one hour session. I've got a guarantee on that session as well, so you do have to pay for it, but if you don't notice any change at the end of the session, I'll give you your money back no questions asked, because I want to make sure that it works for you, right? So that's an easy way people can do a one hour session with me to see if it works.
Speaker 1:Wow, that's pretty awesome, and the guarantee too, that makes it a no brainer. So I feel like you're only keeping it to five sessions or five clients a month. So definitely take advantage of that immediately if you're listening to this, and good luck too, because I don't know if it'll be available by the time this airs, but get out there and try, and then, if they can't get in or if something happens, what's the best way to kind of stay in touch with you? Just keep checking the website, or is it like should we add over on LinkedIn or yeah, you can add me on linkedin.
Speaker 2:You can add me on instagram. All my handles are the same freeman beals um across all the socials and I'll put up on there when I have intakes happening. There's also on my website. There'll be a place to put your email in and then you can get a free audio. So it won't be the audio that we did for this, that'll'll be a different landing page, but there is an audio for like a kind of a walking meditation that's on there, and then, of course, I'll have your email and I'll let you know when I'm having intake happening again.
Speaker 1:Nice. Yeah, I love that because I do a lot of my meditation type stuff while I'm driving, which some people might say is kind of dangerous, but like it's basically on autopilot anyways when I'm driving, as long as there's nothing too crazy going on, but it's like traveling from same place house to house, workshop place, whatever it may be, yeah, and there's a good time for me to just kind of pause my brain. So I think the walking meditation would be pretty sweet to have too. Just have some of that access. So I'm going to throw my name in there as well.
Speaker 2:Yeah, it's super cool, like actually I thought the same thing was like man, I can't have people meditating while they're like driving or walking. But you can actually do some things with with that, where, by using their awareness of what's happening around and making them more aware of what's going on, you actually reinforce some of the meditative learnings. Um, it's just a different way of kind of talking somebody through a hypnosis that is less like deep level, relaxing level hypnosis and more like peripheral awareness kind of hypnosis. So my walking meditation is more like that. So, if you're thinking like lay down and sleep meditation, it's not that, it's more of like a peripheral vision exercise.
Speaker 1:Awesome, sweet. So there you go, guys. You know where to find him, how to sign up. If you can try to sign up at least for one of his sessions and on his availability over at his website and also social media, just make sure you add him and also feel free to reach out to me and let me know what you thought about it and let me know what you thought about the episode itself.
Speaker 1:So, freeman dude, I appreciate you taking the time coming on here sharing your experience and things that you've been going through over the past two years, and some of the crazy changes and the value that you're providing to a lot of these other dads and individuals is just incredible. So I'm excited to follow along with the trickle down effect that everybody else is going to be benefiting, and I'm excited to see the better world that comes from all the work that you're doing. And again, thank you. I know your time is very limited to do different projects and such, but I'm super glad we were able to reconnect and get this episode recorded so that everybody out here listening can enjoy all of these tips and tricks. So, freeman man, I appreciate everything you're doing. Thank you again for coming on today.
Speaker 2:Thank you, rob. Thank you for taking the time kind of giving me this moment as well, and thank you for being vulnerable and open to walking through that exercise with me.
Speaker 1:Man, it was, it was cool to do with you Of course, of course, and hopefully we get you back on again within another two years, hopefully we don't have to wait ever so long to record another episode. But there you go, guys. It was awesome Great conversation, great tips and stuff, and hope you enjoyed that little demo too. As always, guys, keep rolling and I'll talk to you guys next time.
