Episode 3 - Interview with JB Owen & Peter Giesin at Ignite You

In this episode you will hear a recording of an interview with the Co-Founders of Ignite You JB Owen and Peter Giesin. During the interview you will hear some examples of how sabotage can impact you and affect relationships. You will learn how to overcome any suffering caused in relationships and how sabotaging thoughts can affect your career and professional life.

The topic explored is also explored whether sabotage affects Men or Women more, you hear about how emotional pain affects all of us on our journey as humans. The pain is inevitable and can define you from your past - but the suffering is optional and does not have to be prolonged. You will hear why Men do not admit their self-sabotage and become triumphant about their success and ignore or deny the impact sabotage has on their life. This can cause long term damage to relationships for men - particularly if their is toxic masculinity in 'manning up'. Women are much more aware and conscious of their sabotage and far more likely to accept they have sabotaged an area of their life - which makes it a smoother segway into acceptance and wanting to do something to overcome their sabotage.

You will also hear about the work of Stanford Professor Shirzad Chamine and his work on saboteurs, which leads into how our divisive unconscious mind can judge our own behaviour and others. You will learn about how the 'pleaser' saboteur can lead to your own needs not being met, causing you you to resent others if they do not appreciate your effort. The motivation of the 'pleaser' is driven from an underlying belief that you are not worthy!

I share a personal story about an area of tension that caused me to create an underlying belief that I am not allowed to be capable to ask for what I want. This programming was ingrained at an early age and I followed that unconscious pattern and belief, causing me to sabotage relationships and create conflict.

You will also hear about how the fear emotion has been triggered by the global pandemic and the lockdown - but more importantly how to pivot your mindset in that situation. This is the topic of mental alchemy. This is explored further with the description of the work of Viktor Frankl who survived Auschwitz and wrote his book: Man's Search for Meaning...

This leads to the discussion on how to come to terms with grief and sadness of having a son diagnosed with a life-limiting terminal disease. The journey of what we can learn from our personal experience and how you can use mental alchemy to pivot mindset.
