Hello and Welcome!
Date: March 6th, 2023
Host: Rhonda Bilodeau
Guest: Sandra Vesterstein
In episode 4 of the Divine Feminine Dog Trainer Podcast I interview Sandra Vesterstein of Thrive Learning Collective https://thrivelearningcollective. Sandra is a Life Coach and Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP) practitioner. NLP is a model for learning how to create change in your life and in your relationship with your dog or your clients. You can reach Sandra via phone at +1 (802) 598-6078.
This was an exciting episode for me because Sandra lays down such an incredible foundation through the logical levels to show you how focusing on the pillars of the logical levels; environment, behavior, skills & capabilities, values & beliefs, identity and finally spirituality can create incredible transformation in a client's life and our own!
We talk about how NLP can shine a light on how we may become better communicators, take radical responsibility for where we're at in our life, learn to become in alignment with our clients and their values, build strong rapport with clients, create beautiful containers for them to feel safe, learn to become a better guide and ask high quality questions to see a fuller picture of where a client is coming from.
We dive deep into the conscious mind, unconscious mind that drives 95% of our behavior and the higher mind. How creating a pause in our life allows us to co create the experience we want expanding our options, discernment, choice and freedom rather than being stuck in old patterns and behaviors. We talk about unity consciousness and how impactful taking 100% responsibility for what energy you bring to your relationship with your dog can be.
Lastly, how impactful focusing on the spiritual nature of our relationship with dogs can be on our dog training. How dogs are here to shine light on our shadows so we may spiritually evolve to bring forth our gifts to help others in this world and when you say 'YES!' to the multitude of invitation we often see through our dogs unwanted behaviors, we start to live in faith and life starts happening for us.
