Spiritual Media Blog
I’m thrilled to share that I recently sat down with Matt Welsh of Spiritual Media Blog to talk all things Brainspotting, spirituality, and entrepreneurship. As a business life coach and certified Brainspotting practitioner, I’m passionate about helping high-achievers break through invisible barriers—whether it’s imposter syndrome, chronic stress, or that nagging sense that something is holding them back. In this expanded post, I’ll walk you through the key takeaways from our conversation, highlight how Brainspotting can shift your abundance mindset and success mindset, and give you a behind-the-scenes look at what it was like to be featured on a guest blog that bridges spirituality and success.
Why Guest Blogging Matters for Visibility and Impact
When you’re running a coaching practice—whether you call yourself a business life coach or an abundance mindset guide—visibility is everything. Guest blogging on a platform like Spiritual Media Blog does more than just boost SEO; it positions you in front of an audience that’s already seeking connections between inner work and outer success. For me, this interview was an opportunity to reinforce how spiritual practices (like tapping into emotional healing through Brainspotting) can fuel sustainable business growth. And for you, it’s a reminder that showing up authentically in places where your ideal clients are already searching is one of the most powerful marketing moves you can make.
By weaving in keywords like business life coach, abundance mindset, and success mindset throughout my interview and on my website, I’m signaling to search engines—and more importantly, to real humans—that my work sits at the intersection of entrepreneurial strategy and soul-aligned transformation. If you’re a coach, consultant, or service provider wondering how to get noticed, consider where your audience spends time online. Are they reading blogs that honor both spiritual growth and practical outcomes? If so, guest posts can be your fastest track to credibility and connection.
Breaking Down Brainspotting: The Core of the Conversation
In my Q&A with Matt, we started by defining what Brainspotting actually is and why it’s so effective—especially for high-achievers who might be accustomed to “pushing through” instead of processing.
Brainspotting is a powerful therapeutic tool that helps you access the root of emotional pain, trauma, or performance blocks by identifying “brain spots” in your visual field—specific points where your brain and body hold unprocessed experiences. You don’t need to know exactly when or how the trauma happened, and you don’t have to relive it to heal. Instead, Brainspotting leverages the brain-body connection to unlock natural healing.
Because so much of modern psychology has historically separated the mind from the body, many of us miss the fact that unresolved emotions literally get stored in our nervous system. By using a trained practitioner’s guidance to find that “freeze response” point—say, the tight throat you feel before going live on a webinar or the knot in your stomach at the thought of pitching—Brainspotting allows that emotional charge to process without you having to dissect every painful memory. In my experience, that’s why most clients report significant shifts in 1–3 sessions, whereas other modalities can take months or years.
From an SEO perspective, pages that deeply explain a modality like Brainspotting, while weaving in terms such as business life coach and success mindset, help establish topical authority. If you run a coaching or healing practice, remember: your ideal client might be Googling “how to overcome imposter syndrome” or “abundance mindset tips.” By providing clear, detailed explanations—and showing how these tie directly into their entrepreneurial goals—you’ll attract more of the right people.
Common Blocks for High-Achievers (and How to Move Beyond Them)
One of the most popular questions I get is “Why do high-achievers so often struggle with imposter syndrome?” During the guest post interview, I explained that:
Perfectionism and Pressure Cooker Dynamics
High-achievers tend to have an internal pressure to excel. Landing a promotion, closing a big deal, or hitting six figures in revenue still might not feel like “enough.” That unmet standard becomes a breeding ground for self-doubt, the idea that at any moment you’ll be “found out” as a fraud. From an abundance mindset perspective, you might intellectually know you deserve success—but emotionally, you’re operating from a scarcity story that says, “If I rest, I’ll lose it all.”Early Life Messages Baked Into the Nervous System
Oftentimes, those messages (“You need to be perfect,” “Never let them see you struggle”) become encoded in the body as tension patterns. Your brain learns to respond to any “go-getter” impulse with a fight-or-freeze response. That’s where Brainspotting is a game-changer: instead of just tackling the thought “I can’t do this,” you discover the underlying feelings of shame or fear, and release them at the physiological level.Shifting into a True Success Mindset
Once you clear that emotional charge, your brain is free to adopt a success mindset that isn’t tethered to self-doubt. You stop questioning, “Am I good enough?” and start owning, “Yes, I put in the work. I’m capable.” As you build confidence from the inside out, your external results—better sales calls, bolder marketing initiatives, more consistent client follow-through—naturally follow.
By calling out these pain points in my guest post and on my own site, I’m aiming to match language that entrepreneurs search for (e.g., “overcome imposter syndrome,” “success mindset coaching”). If you’re drafting your own blog or web copy, pay attention to the phrasing your ideal clients use, then deliver content that answers those exact questions.
My Personal Brainspotting Breakthrough
Whenever I write about Brainspotting, I like to share a candid example from my own life—because authenticity helps build trust. Here’s a glimpse at how Brainspotting helped me break through a major block:
After moving through multiple business coaching programs, I found myself freezing every time I tried to implement new strategies. I knew what to do, but I couldn’t act. I was collecting information, hiring experts, and still…nothing. That’s when I discovered Brainspotting. In my very first session, I uncovered a deep-rooted fear of failure—one that wasn’t tied to any single event but had been simmering under the surface for years. When I released that emotional weight, something inside me clicked. Projects I’d shelved for months began moving forward. I felt a lightness I hadn’t experienced in a long time.
Sharing that story on Spiritual Media Blog allowed me to show readers that even someone who’s built a brand around emotional healing—and who’s been in healthcare since 1996—still benefits from ongoing processing and breakthroughs. It reinforces the idea that nobody is immune to mental blocks, no matter how experienced or driven they are.
Spiritual Practices and Hypnosis: Complementing Brainspotting
In my interview, Matt also asked about hypnosis and guided meditation—two practices I integrate to deepen transformation:
Guided Meditation to Quiet the Overactive Mind
Many high-achievers live in their “thinking brain,” analyzing every decision. Guided meditation helps you drop into your body so Brainspotting can do its work. By learning simple mindfulness techniques—like focusing on breath or scanning for sensations—you build the capacity to notice tension before it hijacks your performance. This is especially useful if you’re prone to overthinking during sales calls or presentations.Hypnosis Influenced by Compassion and Skill
Since Texas laws restrict non-mental-health professionals from using full hypnosis, I employ guided meditation scripts with hypnotic language. This approach supports clients who need help connecting with their bodies…another strategy for making Brainspotting faster and more effective. Whether you’re looking for an abundance mindset boost or a tool to overcome public speaking anxiety, these meditative practices lay the groundwork for deeper emotional release.
In terms of training, I recommend both foundational courses on platforms like Udemy (for getting comfortable with basic hypnotic language) and more advanced conversational hypnosis programs…people like David Snyder and Mike Mandel are worth exploring if you want to specialize. The takeaway? No matter how logical or data-driven your business approach, your nervous system is always in the driver’s seat. When you build in somatic practices, you give yourself a built-in stress-management system that supports long-term success and well-being.
Practical Tips for Anyone Who Feels Stuck
If you read my guest post and recognized yourself in those struggles—stalled projects, chronic self-doubt, or the feeling that “something’s wrong with me”—here are three action steps you can take right now:
Pause the Hustle and Ask “Why Am I Stuck?”
Instead of scrambling for the next strategy or marketing tactic, take a moment to reflect. Journal about where you feel tension in your body when you think of your biggest goal. Notice patterns—does your chest tighten when you imagine a full calendar? Do you feel a knot in your stomach at the thought of posting on social media? Simply noticing these sensations is the first step to processing them.Explore a Free Resource or Quiz to Identify Your Blocks
I’ve created a free quiz designed to highlight the emotional landmines…things like “fear of being seen” or “overwhelm from perfectionism.” It only takes a few minutes, and it can point you toward which invisible barriers might be keeping you from your full potential. (You can find it here.)Consider Scheduling a Brainspotting Session
If you notice that no amount of strategy, coaching, or mindset work is moving the needle, it’s probably because there’s an emotional block beneath the surface. Brainspotting sessions are priced at $200 for additional sessions or packages that combine Brainspotting with one-on-one coaching. You can learn more about my Unblocked Sessions™ pricing and availability on my Services page.
These steps aren’t a magic pill, but they will help you get unstuck faster than repeating the same tactics that haven’t worked. Once you clear out the emotional clutter, you’ll find that your success mindset and abundance mindset become more than just “nice ideas.” They become your lived reality.
Final Thoughts: Why Spiritual Alignment Matters in Business
In my conversation with Matt, we emphasized one core insight: true success flows from spiritual alignment and emotional healing. As entrepreneurs, it’s tempting to treat our businesses like a machine—optimize this, tweak that, scale more—and ignore the fact that our inner world directly shapes our outer results. When you start treating your mind and body as an integrated system, you give yourself permission to move through fear instead of around it.
Being featured on the Spiritual Media Blog was a reminder that combining spiritual practices with entrepreneurial strategy is not just a trend—it’s the future of how high-achievers create sustainable success. Whether you’re a solopreneur launching your first product or a CEO navigating a major pivot, investing in emotional healing (with tools like Brainspotting, guided meditation, and therapeutic coaching) is the key to unlocking your next level.
