Jim Curtis: The Secret to Stop Self-Sabotage
About this episode
Jay sits down with transformational coach Jim Curtis, author of The Book of Possibility, to unpack how our subconscious beliefs, many formed before age seven, quietly shape our careers, relationships, and sense of what we think we deserve. Jim breaks down his Release, Align, Become framework, walks through the four core childhood wounds behind our biggest triggers, and shares practical tools for anxiety and self-doubt, ultimately revealing who you actually are beneath the programming.
With Love and Gratitude,
Jay Shetty
