BREAKing Toxic Beliefs

Do some of these issues sound familiar in the lives of those you help?

  • Fear Dominates Their Life
  • Personal Disappointment
  • Ineffective Through a Fear of Failure
  • Alienated and Alone
  • Living Without Joy
  • Out of Touch from Reality
  • Stuck and Hurt
  • Problems that Continue to Grow

At an early age people form beliefs that can stay with them for a lifetime. During adolescence, certain beliefs are cemented into our unconscious. We believe children are the best recorders but worst interpreters. If left unchecked, these toxic, cemented beliefs will continue to solidify as people grow into adulthood, negatively affecting them and those around them. We have helped thousands breakthrough their cemented beliefs so that they can be set free from their past and live a life of freedom and peace.

One of Many Stories

Listen to one of the almost 10,000 people who experienced Core Story for the first time.

  • "Every man, woman and child have a Core Story. Unlocking that story, understanding the unconscious drivers, and discovering the true self has freed thousands from addictive and obsessive behaviors. On the job and in countless marriages, those behaviors sabotage success. The Core Story manual speeds the process of discovery and is an important tool for recovery."
