S5. EP. 77 - Becoming Who You Are Meant To Be [SOLO]

In this solo episode, I’m opening Season 5 of It Takes a Village by talking about self-development, alignment, and the deeper work of becoming the person you know you’re meant to be. This season is different. I wanted to focus on us and how we can be a better villager by giving to ourselves. I also revisit one of the most powerful mindset shifts I ever experienced after reading the book What to Say When You Talk to Yourself  by Shad Helmstetter. This is the link to purchase.(https://bit.ly/4uhYeN2). I talk about how the quiet dialogue we have with ourselves is constantly programming our minds, and how small phrases like “I’m bad with names” or “I always mess things up” can quietly shape the reality we live in. Changing the way we speak to ourselves can completely transform the way we experience life.This episode also explores faith, certainty, and the energetic state we bring into our lives and work. I share why I believe that many successful entrepreneurs still feel deeply unhappy when their success isn’t rooted in something spiritual, and how developing a relationship with God, the universe, or whatever you believe in can create a deeper sense of peace and alignment.We also talk about the difference between operating from need versus certainty, and how the energy of needing something often pushes it further away. I explain why the most successful people often seem to attract more opportunities, and how generosity, gratitude, and openness create the conditions for growth.Finally, I guide you through a powerful exercise that I’ll be doing myself: imagining that you’re being interviewed on a podcast in the future after everything you’re dreaming about has already happened. By answering questions as your future self, you begin to step into the vibration of the person you’re becoming today.This conversation is about remembering that you already have more power than you think you do. If you’re in a moment of transition, uncertainty, or growth, this episode is an invitation to reconnect with your vision, your faith, and your own inner voice.10 Questions to Ask Your Future SelfWhen you look back at that period of your life, what was really happening beneath the surface?What did you have to let go of in order to become the person you are today?At the time it felt painful — but what was that experience actually preparing you for?What was the exact moment you realized your life was changing for the better?What did you learn about love, partnership, and self-respect during that time?What habits or daily practices ended up transforming everything for you?What surprised you most about your own strength?What did you stop tolerating that you used to accept?What advice would you give to the version of you who was sitting in uncertainty back then?Now that you’re on the other side of it all, what are you most grateful happened exactly the way it did?Timestamps:00:00 Welcome to Season Five00:28 What This Show Is01:38 Defining Success Differently02:32 Reprogram Your Self Talk04:29 Faith and Vibration07:49 Certainty and Alignment09:38 Neediness vs Attraction12:36 Future Self Mirror Exercise15:14 Podcast Questions Prompt19:31 Money Mood Trap21:35 Entrepreneur Encouragement22:42 Community and Next StepsConnect with Delina: ⁠Instagram ⁠https://www.instagram.com/delinamedhin⁠  TikTok ⁠https://www.tiktok.com/@delinamedhin⁠  ⁠YouTube ⁠https://www.youtube.com/delinamedhin⁠  Threads ⁠http://threads.net/@delinamedhin⁠   Website ⁠⁠www.delinamedhin.com⁠ Get the Build Your Village Video eBook here: ⁠https://stan.store/delinamedhin/p/build-your-village-ebook⁠  Join my newsletter, This Made Me Think Of You: ⁠http://www.delinamedhin.com⁠
