Start Your Transformation Now  In this episode of Transform Your Life From the Inside Out, Jim Fortin delves into why creating lasting change in life often feels hard, slow, and minimal. Drawing on his decades of work with Don Javier and personal experience, Jim unpacks the psychological and spiritual factors that keep many people stuck and struggling to make significant progress in their lives.  Jim explores the powerful concept of "context versus content," explaining how your subconscious beliefs shape your reality. This episode provides insights into why many people resist change, how beliefs create invisible "glass ceilings," and actionable strategies to help you overcome them.  If you’re ready to challenge your limiting beliefs, shift your mindset, and unlock the ease of transformation, this episode is packed with practical wisdom and tools to get started.    What You’ll Discover in This Episode:  Why Change Feels Hard (01:00): The psychological and subconscious reasons why transformation often feels slow or impossible.  The Power of Context Over Content (08:33): How your subconscious "frame" dictates what you can achieve.  Why We Resist Change (18:14): The role of comfort zones, identity, and confirmation bias in keeping us stuck.  Self-Hypnosis and Affirmations (32:55): Techniques to align your subconscious mind with the changes you desire.  A Higher Frame of Context (30:55): Shifting your mindset to "change is easy" and watching transformation happen faster.  Listen, apply, and enjoy!  Transformational Takeaway:  Change becomes easy when you learn to work with your brain and subconscious mind rather than against them. By shifting your overarching belief from "change is hard" to "change is easy," you unlock the potential for rapid and lasting transformation in every area of your life. Reflect on this: What belief about change is holding you back, and how can you start rewriting it today?    Mentioned Resources: Want to access my Secret Podcast?

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. Your identity is created from experiences in your life, then you create an interpretation from those experiences and then you tell yourself a story about it for the rest of your life. So, in order to change your identity, you must first ask “What would be the identity of someone who already has what I want?” Look for someone who already has what you want. Listen to the entire episode to learn about changing your identity! In this episode I discuss: How your identity is formed when you’re a small child How you have created an identity loop and it’s keeping you stuck How to determine what identity you have (hint look at your environment) Discovering your internal barometer What identity do you want? How do you get it? Let's Connect:  Instagram Facebook YouTube LinkedIn  LIKED THE EPISODE? If you're the kind of person who likes to help others, then share this with your friends and family.

Start Your Transformation Now Are you more awake right this moment, or are you more awake when you’re “sleeping?” If you’re like most people you’re going to say you’re more awake right now, and that’s just not true. When you’re sleeping, you’re pure unfettered consciousness. Meaning, you are not trapped by the belief systems that you have learned to condition yourself to believe over the years. You can literally transform your life when you learn to use “dreamtime,” to heal, attract, evolve, access higher wisdom, and to guide your life. Truth be told, and this is hard for many to understand, being awake, like now as you’re reading this, and dreamtime are the same. It’s just a matter of advanced and higher awareness to understand this. In this episode we dive into: Everyone dreams even though many don’t remember Many great achievers used “dreamtime” to discover their inventions and innovations. How you problem solve in dreamtime. What you have to do to heal yourself in dreamtime. Simple ways to decipher dreams At the end of this episode, you will come to realize that dreamtime is going to be the most valuable part of your day because you can use it to create anything that you want. And of every episode I have created or will ever create, when you learn to “work and use’ dreamtime, you’ll truly be living from your highest potential as a being.

Start Your Transformation Now In this episode of Conversations with a Sorcerer, I dive into profound insights on the true purpose of life, inspired by my dialogue with Don Xavier. Over the years, so many people have asked me, “What is my purpose?” In this episode, I unpack the deeper meaning of life beyond careers and material pursuits, focusing on growth, evolution, and spiritual exchange.  Don Javier shared that our purpose isn’t tied to our vocations but lies in gaining seniority, energy, and deeper knowing. Using vivid metaphors like the “hard drive of life” and exploring the concept of energy exchange, I share transformative perspectives on evolving beyond the ego and contributing to the collective soul's journey.  I want you to think about this: life isn’t a gift—it’s a loan. In this episode, I’ll help you uncover how you can leave this life with more than you came with. Let’s explore your soul’s purpose and embrace transformation together.    What You’ll Discover in This Episode:  What is Seniority? (02:23): Understanding seniority as the growth of personal power and knowing in your soul's journey.  The Hard Drive of Life (06:23): A metaphor for the knowledge and energy you bring into each incarnation.  Energy Exchange and Abundance (15:35): How the principle of giving and receiving enriches our lives and fulfills our purpose.  The Misconception of Purpose (22:42): Why your job or career is not your true purpose and how to discover the real meaning.  Life as a Loan, Not a Gift (30:11): How to repay life with “interest” through growth, service, and contribution.  Listen, apply, and enjoy!  Transformational Takeaway: Life is a loan, not a gift. The purpose of your existence is to leave with more than you arrived—more energy, knowing, and spiritual growth. By focusing on selfless exchange and the evolution of your soul, you transform not just your life but the collective consciousness.

Start Your Transformation Now In this episode you'll discover why you’ve worked really hard, put in all the effort, the hours, the blood sweat and tears and you’re still not getting the results you want. If you’re like most people you are working backwards—working from the “have do be” model. If I had the money then I could hire someone and grow my business. This is a broken model! The model that you want to start working from is what I call “be do have” model. “Who or how do I have to be to do the things that I choose to do to have the success that I want?” In this episode I discuss: Are you working from an identity that sabotages you? How perfectionism didn’t stop me from getting this podcast out How most people are working backwards The “be do have” model (if you’re not using this, you’re sabotaging yourself!) Why people are setting goals in the wrong way The reason you haven’t created what you want to create in life Who are you really? Where were you before you landed on this planet?

Start Your Transformation Now How many times have you set goals for yourself only to find that you’re right back into your old patterns and you never achieve what you think that you want? If you’re like most people, that is your exact pattern: Wanting a goal but not achieving it because you can’t shake loose of your old patterns and habits. In the first sentence I said, “What you think that you want.” What you think that you want is not what you get because you get your habits and they don’t come from the “thinking” part of your brain. In this episode I talk about: [2:44] The three largest parts of your brain and how they function [10:38] How your reptilian brain sabotages your goals [12:19] Why your reptilian brain operates from survival and predictability [13:09] Why what you think you want is usually not what you get [15:09] And how to dissociate from the reptilian brain habits I have created episodes on habits but this one dives deeper into the exact way the reptilian brain sabotages your goals and what you think that you want. Transformational Takeaway Your goals come from your prefrontal cortex “thinking” brain and your habits come from your reptilian brain. They battle each other and you have to disassociate from your reptilian brain habits. Let's Connect:  Instagram Facebook YouTube LinkedIn  LIKED THE EPISODE?
