On Air With Ella

What overcoming debt taught Elizabeth Benton about mastering life. You've heard Elizabeth Benton of Primal Potential on the show before, but you have not heard this story. In her own words: "In my late twenties I embarked on a totally different journey. I was determined to get out of debt. Between my husband and I, we had over $130,000 in student loans and other small, miscellaneous debts. Little did I know that the process of getting out of debt would teach me everything I needed to know to finally tackle my lifelong weight struggles. It’s true. The crazy parallels between paying off $130,000 and losing over 130 pounds are astonishing." Here’s what getting out of debt taught Elizabeth about life and extreme weight loss.Connect with Elizabeth: @primalpotentialRelated episodes: 083: Mastering Our Mindset - Elizabeth BentonOn Air With Ella is for women who want to feel better, look better, live better - and have more fun doing it.

How do you change these beliefs? We're talking all about it in today's episode.   What We Talk About: What meaning are you associating with money? How does your mindset affect your ability to attract money to you? What's your money story? How to create a more empowering belief.

Author, speaker, coach Bonnie Kelly is helping us understand (so we can dismantle) the negative core beliefs that are shaping our view of the world and how we operate within it. In This Episode:  The power our subconscious mind has on our daily decision making How our negative core beliefs are formed in early childhood and then validated through the years by supporting "evidence" Once we adopt a belief, we habitually look for proof to support it...so we act in ways that confirm that belief  For transformation, you must find the source of the issue, weaken its supporting evidence and dismantle it at its core...and, it IS possible Bonnie shares her own story of true transformation  www.onairella.com Follow Ella @onairwithella See Ella's faves in her Amazon shop.
