$40k of debt... gone.
Hey, It's Ramon —
When I first met Jalene, she was $40k in debt and beyond frustrated.
Jalene is no slouch. She's done a TED talk and just got into Dartmouth's master's program.
During our first session, she told me "I'm just frustrated because I UNDERSTAND this stuff. And yet I feel so stuck."
I hear "I understand all this stuff" ALL. THE. TIME.
When Jalene and I started working together, we dove deep into her belief system.
She had a belief that if she "rose up" too fast… she might lose the people that she loved.
She had a belief that she was "stuck" (you are never ACTUALLY stuck… but it sure as heck can FEEL like you are).
But by far, the biggest worry she had was being $40k in high-interest credit card debt.
So how did she get out of it?
We worked through the three most important areas when it comes to creating meaningful change.
Regulating the nervous system.
Rewiring her subconscious mind.
Taking aligned action.
Here's what that actually looked like.
First, we got her body out of survival mode. Because you can't make a $40k problem feel solvable when your nervous system is treating every credit card statement like a tiger in the room.
She used a meditation I created inside of The 30 Day Subconscious Reset to help do this.
Then we went after the belief underneath the debt. Not "I need to make more money" — the real one. The one that said if I rise up too fast, I'll lose the people I love. Because some part of her was keeping herself small and broke to stay safe and connected.
When she realized that everyone that TRULY loved her, would still love her… and anyone who didn’t, wasn’t in love with the “real” her, anyway… this disappeared.
And only then did the action work. Not hustle. Not a budgeting spreadsheet she'd abandon in a week. Aligned action — the kind you can actually sustain because your body isn't fighting you the whole way.
She began acting on her passions every moment that she could… and she drop the insistence on the outcome needing to look a certain way.
1 month later, the $40k was gone.
Not because she finally "understood it." She understood it the whole time. That was never the problem.
It was gone because we changed the thing underneath the understanding — the nervous system and the beliefs that kept her stuck no matter how much she knew.
That's the work. And it's the same work I do with every client who comes to me saying "I get all this stuff, so why am I still here?"
If that sentence has ever come out of your mouth… that's not a knowledge problem. And more information isn't going to fix it.
Talk soon, Ramon
P.S. Jalene's amazing. But she didn't have some gift you're missing — she just stopped trying to think her way out of a problem that was living in her body.
You can do that too.
