It's Time to
Get Over
Yourself

Be more in tune with what you really want. Sleep better. Have more energy and take action faster. Get along better with others. Make better decisions. Be happy now.

Imagine getting to the root of what stops you from getting stuff done and taking control of your life. Now imagine that you could get so good at this process you’d have more time to do the things you love.

IT'S TIME TO GET OVER YOURSELF
SO THAT YOU CAN ACTUALLY 
ENJOY BEING YOURSELF.

TheJoyfulOptimistFinals-124.jpg
SOUND FAMILIAR?

Your mind wanders during the day, and you lose track of your true goals.

THIS HAPPENS BECAUSE YOUR BRAIN NATURALLY LOOKS FOR PATTERNS THAT DON'T ALWAYS SERVE YOUR BEST INTERESTS.
Maybe you find yourself getting upset or jealous when someone else achieves success, comparing yourself unfairly and feeling insecure about where you stand in life.

Or maybe you're worrying about the future, putting you in the mindset that things need to get worse before they get better, creating stress and autopilot responses, which only leads to more problems when none are actually present.

We've all been there.

THE MOMENT WE START ANYTHING NEW, THE FEAR TAKES OVER.
Fear of letting yourself down. Fear of losing. Fear of scrutiny.
Fear of judgement. Fear of making mistakes. Fear of being fired. Fear of being alone. Fear of starting over. 

That insidious, heart wrenching, stomach sinking question that floats into our heads and stops us in our tracks, "What if I fail?" But in all fairness, how often do you balance that question out with, "What if I succeed?"

When it comes to fear you do have a choice, Face Everything And Run or Face Everything And Rise. I'm going to show you how I learned to rise so that you can too.

A Perfectionist and A Procrastinator

My inner achiever (or should I say, insufferably ambitious overachiever) loves nothing more than to work hard, while my inner slacker, well – she likes to roll around in the proverbial grass with puppies all day long.

For most of my life, I felt like I was walking on a tightrope. Teetering between studying or working all hours and pushing myself to the max and then avoiding anything if it might lead me to failure.

Exhausting.

I was desperate to break the endless cycle of stress. I read every self-help book. I watched countless TED Talks. Attended seminars, workshops, and retreats. I was gaining new insights, I was inspired, but I wasn't changing.

Then my journey of self-discovery took me from being the one being coached, to becoming a coach myself, and in this journey I was introduced to a simple framework that would finally bring about the lasting change in my behaviour that I so desperately needed.

Thanks to breakthroughs in mental fitness, I have reversed old habits and my own self-destructive behavior using breakthroughs in neuroscience and technology. I was able to identify the root causes of my habits and strengthen the weak muscles in my brain.

I couldn't believe that I could feel such a significant change in my life after 7 weeks. I was sleeping better, making smarter choices, and my stress levels dropped. I was able to step off the tightrope. My friends and family all noticed a shift in me that they couldn't quite put a finger on but they liked it. And the funny thing is, it wasn't so much that I had changed into someone different but it was more like I reconnected with who I truly am.

You know what else I realized? I realized that YOU deserve to live an abundant life in alignment too. I believe in your potential. I know it feels hard to change, but this is why I am going to teach you everything I learned so that you can finally be the best YOU.

#1 

Insight alone doesn't necessarily lead to action. For example, the insight that 'being frustrated isn't helpful' doesn't automatically lead you to not feel frustrated. Actual change requires mental muscles to shift the brain into activation.

#2

Most techniques out there treat the symptoms, but stop short of the root cause. For example, active listening techniques can teach you to recognise your partner’s emotions, but it won’t fix your inner critic that believes and expects only the worst.

#3

No common operating system. Every workshop or training you've attended uses a different framework - 7 steps of managing conflict, 5 steps of managing time, etc. - they each compete for mindshare but eventually fade away.

I joined Ignite during a difficult leveling-up period in my life, and I think it was a huge help in steering me into the right direction. Life is a lot, but learning to navigate everyday with my Sage in the driver seat has given me a lot of peace and motivation

MONICA ZOU | TORONTO, CANADA

My goal was to improve my positive self & enhancing my relationship with my husband, in our ‘golden years’. Discovering my Sage powers helped me find myself again after encountering my younger sage self, pure joy and happiness. I see the change in my husband’s response and I am so thankful and grateful for discovering this.

haute-stock-photography-subscription-weekend-workout-collection-final-23.jpg
This is not a “self-help” event only concerned with racking up insights. You will build new neural networks allowing you to run your brain and emotions rather than your negative brain running you.

You will sleep better at night. Every morning, you’ll wake up more in control of your life. You will be less anxious, make better decisions, and redirect all that energy wasted on what-ifs and bad habits to fueling your life’s work.

You'll be so confident and at ease, you'll feel great. Your friends and family will love being around you because you'll be so relaxed and fun to be with. Most importantly, you are going to feel a sense of freedom allowing you to be in your power and live in the moment.

TIFFANY MOORE | MADRID, SPAIN

              Being in this program with others was a fulfilling experience. I can really be inside my own head a lot of the time and believe that I am the only one going through so many turbulent moments in my self-discovery. Seeing so many others growing alongside me in this self-development program was amazing! I didn't feel so alone anymore.

AMABEL NARVAEZ | COSTA RICA

              Participating in Ignite has been a very informative and dynamic experience. I learned so much about myself, including tracing my tendencies to my childhood, and becoming more empathetic to myself and others. This has been a unique way to improve my mental, emotional, and psychological fitness. It's a groundbreaking and well thought out curriculum and support model...It was especially valuable to hear other pod members share so openly and vulnerably. The support we received from Sandy Kusano was immensely helpful, caring, considerate, and exemplary.

DANA TOWNSEND | WASHINGTON DC

              It's well worth the money if you're willing to commit to the process and be honest with yourself about your blind spots and areas that need improvement.
