Subconscious Blocks to Growth: Why Expansion Requires Contraction

Season #1 Episode #12

In this episode of Seed Your Subconscious, I’m diving into the natural cycles of expansion and contraction—how they show up in our lives, why we often resist them, and how shifting our subconscious beliefs around them can completely change the way we move through growth and transformation. I’ll be sharing my personal journey from feeling a sense of flow in January to slowing down and retreating inward in February, and how I came to realise that contraction isn’t a setback—it’s a necessary part of expansion and a powerful time to recalibrate. 

What You’ll Learn:

• How your subconscious beliefs about expansion and contraction influence your patterns of growth.

• Why contraction is not the opposite of expansion, but the foundation for it.

• The neuroscience behind why slowing down is essential for long-term progress.

• How to shift guilt and resistance around rest, stillness, and slowing down.

• Insight into the blueprint of The Bloom Method
