Mindset series (6) The Terror Barrier
You wrote the script. You got excited. You started taking steps. And then — out of nowhere — everything felt hard, scary and wrong. That is not failure. That is the terror barrier. And it means you are closer than you think. In this episode Debbie gets into one of the most important concepts in the entire Rise and Thrive programme — why fear shows up exactly when you are about to break through, the six fears that steal most people's dreams, and the one and only antidote that actually works. Raw, honest, and packed with personal stories including learning to ski at 40 and why out of shit grows roses has been her mantra lately.What the terror barrier actually is — and why it shows up every single time you go after something that mattersWhy the moment everything feels impossible is usually the moment you are closest to the breakthroughThe six fears from Napoleon Hill's Think and Grow Rich that steal the most dreams — and how to recognise which one is running youThe difference between beware and be aware — and why you want to take a quick honest look at your fears without living in themWhy faith and fear cannot coexist — and how to choose faith even when you are terrifiedWhy imperfect messy action is the only thing that actually breaks through the barrieIn this episode Debbie shares how she was terrified to learn to ski at 40 — convinced she was too old, too unfit, too clumsy. Three years later she has been on four ski trips and calls it one of the greatest joys of her adult life. She also opens up about a really challenging few months and the mantra that has been getting her through — out of shit grows roses. And she reflects honestly on the times she has dragged herself back from the edge of a breakthrough and pulled the pin, and what she knows now that she wishes she had known then.Key Quotes From This Episode"The anxiety and discomfort you feel when you're pushing towards a big goal is not a warning sign. It's a confirmation sign.""You cannot hold faith and fear at the same time. When you choose faith, fear loses its grip.""Do it messy. Do it imperfect. Any tiny step forward is going to start to dissolve that vibration of fear."Shoot Debbie a text ✨ Discover the 4 Biggest Profit Killers that could be holding your beauty business back 💸💔—straight from Beauty CEO & Mentor Debbie Mulhall 💄👩💼: https://www.beautybbm.com/signupConnect with Debbie on:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/beauty_business_mastery/#Website: https://www.beautybbm.com/link-tree?fbclid=PAZnRzaANh7c9leHRuA2FlbQIxMQABp-kPKUXOAPgOA9TM2WO0otnkyudGMFD_0VxAb9gbuEMYywdeGqI-NiO846u5_aem_rWAV-Rl0GEcHIqsXu4ysLw📢 Loved this episode?

Mindset Series (5) Who Do You Think You Are?
Episode OverviewIn the most personal episode of the series so far, Debbie gets honest about the concept that she believes is the single most powerful thing you can work on — your self image. Not just how you look in the mirror, but the deep internal picture you hold of who you are, what you deserve, and what is possible for you. Debbie shares the story of her own Vitality Script — a detailed self image exercise she wrote three years ago around her health — and how slowly, one by one, the woman she described on paper became who she actually is. Raw, real, and full of practical tools you can start using this week.Practical Tools From This EpisodeWrite your self image script — sit down with pen and paper and write out in as much detail as possible the person who has already achieved your goal. Write it in the present tense. Read it every morning.Record it in your own voice — use an app like Audio Looper to record yourself reading your script and listen to it on repeat in the car or while walking.Share it with your mastermind — Debbie asked her mastermind group to call her Zebbie (Zen Debbie) to help anchor the new identity. Environment and accountability accelerate everything.Before a challenging situation — sit down and write out how the new version of you will show up. What are your standards? What are your boundaries? Have it clear before you walk in the door.Shoot Debbie a text ✨ Discover the 4 Biggest Profit Killers that could be holding your beauty business back 💸💔—straight from Beauty CEO & Mentor Debbie Mulhall 💄👩💼: https://www.beautybbm.com/signupConnect with Debbie on:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/beauty_business_mastery/#Website: https://www.beautybbm.com/link-tree?fbclid=PAZnRzaANh7c9leHRuA2FlbQIxMQABp-kPKUXOAPgOA9TM2WO0otnkyudGMFD_0VxAb9gbuEMYywdeGqI-NiO846u5_aem_rWAV-Rl0GEcHIqsXu4ysLw📢 Loved this episode?

(4) Mindset Series Your Habits Are Your Energy
Your Habits Are Your Energy — And They're Attracting EverythingEpisode OverviewWhy do the same patterns keep showing up in your life — the same ceiling in your business, the same dynamics in your relationships, the same feelings about money? In this episode Debbie breaks down what is actually happening beneath the surface. Your habits are not just the things you do every day — they are energy. They are operating at a frequency. And right now, whether you know it or not, they are drawing your current reality towards you. The good news? You can change them. And this episode shows you where to start.The Science Behind ItNikola Tesla — if you want to understand the secrets of the universe, think in terms of energy, frequency and vibration. The man who invented alternating current knew what he was talking about.Albert Einstein — E=mc² proved matter and energy are interchangeable. His quote: logic will get you from A to B, but imagination will take you anywhere.Napoleon Hill — Think and Grow Rich. After interviewing 500 of the most successful people in history, his conclusion was that the mind operates like a broadcasting and receiving station. Thoughts are transmissions.Bob Proctor — if you can hold it in your head, you can hold it in your hand. The image always comes first.Your Action Step This WeekBecome an observer. Go out into the world this week and start to notice — the person who seems to attract great things, how do they show up? The person who seems surrounded by drama and chaos, what is their energy like?

(3) Mindset Series The Real Game
Why the Inner Game Determines EverythingWe spend so much of our lives chasing the next thing — the goal, the achievement, the milestone — believing that when we get there, we'll finally feel good. But what if the real game has nothing to do with any of that? In this episode, Debbie gets honest and personal about the inner game — why it is the only game that really matters, why there is no summit, no finish line, and how building a strong inner world is what will actually determine the quality of your life. Raw, real, and genuinely uplifting.What You'll LearnWhy we are conditioned from childhood to look outside ourselves for happiness — and why that will never workThe paradox of life — why it is both brutal and beautiful, and how to find your footing when it's both at onceWhy some of the wealthiest people Debbie has encountered were the most miserable — and what the Sherpa people of the Himalayas taught her about real contentmentThe difference between toxic positivity and genuine inner strength — and what it actually means to hold your centreWhy this work never ends — and why that is actually a good thingThe art of surrendering into what is — without giving up on your goalsKey ConceptsThere is no summit — the idea that happiness exists at the end of a goal is a trap. The game is ongoing. There is no finish line and the sooner we accept that, the freer we become.The inner game vs the outer game — the quality of your life is not determined by what happens to you. It is determined by how you respond to what happens to you.Surrendering into the unfoldment — not giving up, not bypassing real life, but accepting that we cannot control every outcome. The only thing we ever truly control is our own response.Victim consciousness vs radical responsibility — the opposite of taking radical responsibility is victim consciousness. It is sneaky, it is common, and it keeps people stuck. Awareness is the way out.Be the tree in the storm — building inner strength so strong that no matter what is happening on the outside, you can find your centre. Like the redwood that survives hurricanes. That is the practice.The pursuit of happiness is a way of travelling, not a destination — this work never ends. We come back to it again and again, always from a new perspective, always with new awareness.Shoot Debbie a text ✨ Discover the 4 Biggest Profit Killers that could be holding your beauty business back 💸💔—straight from Beauty CEO & Mentor Debbie Mulhall 💄👩💼: https://www.beautybbm.com/signupConnect with Debbie on:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/beauty_business_mastery/#Website: https://www.beautybbm.com/link-tree?fbclid=PAZnRzaANh7c9leHRuA2FlbQIxMQABp-kPKUXOAPgOA9TM2WO0otnkyudGMFD_0VxAb9gbuEMYywdeGqI-NiO846u5_aem_rWAV-Rl0GEcHIqsXu4ysLw📢 Loved this episode?

Mindset Series (2) 'Stop Fixing the Wrong Thing'
Episode OverviewHave you ever changed jobs, overhauled your diet, ended the relationship, and found yourself back in the same place six months later? In this episode, Debbie gets into why that keeps happening, and why the answer is never where most of us look for it. This one will change how you see your results, your patterns, and your own potential.What You'll LearnWhy everything you've ever created in your life started as an idea — and what that means for your futureWhat a paradigm actually is, and why yours is running the show, whether you know it or notHow the beliefs formed in childhood are still shaping your income, relationships and self-worth todayThe set point theory from Psycho-Cybernetics by Maxwell Maltz, and why willpower alone will never be enoughWhy the right environment and community are one of the most powerful forces for real changeKey ConceptsCreation moves from the inside out — every physical thing that exists started as a thought. Your results are no different.Paradigms — a multitude of habits fixed in the subconscious mind. Running quietly in the background, shaping every decision you make.The thermostat effect — from Psycho-Cybernetics by Maxwell Maltz. Your life will always drift back to whatever your subconscious is set at — until you change the set point.The pattern interrupt — when a limiting thought appears, pause. Ask: Is this thought mine, or was I handed it?The Mastermind principle — Napoleon Hill's Think and Grow Rich. You cannot change your paradigm alone. The right room creates something greater than the sum of its parts.Books MentionedPsycho-Cybernetics — Maxwell MaltzThink and Grow Rich — Napoleon Hill (read the Mastermind chapter)Your Action Step This WeekJust notice. Don't judge, don't fix — just observe. When a thought comes up around money, your worth, or what's possible for you — pause. Ask yourself: is that thought actually mine, or was I handed it a long time ago? That tiny moment of awareness is where everything begins to shift.Want to Go Deeper?Shoot Debbie a text ✨ Discover the 4 Biggest Profit Killers that could be holding your beauty business back 💸💔—straight from Beauty CEO & Mentor Debbie Mulhall 💄👩💼: https://www.beautybbm.com/signupConnect with Debbie on:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/beauty_business_mastery/#Website: https://www.beautybbm.com/link-tree?fbclid=PAZnRzaANh7c9leHRuA2FlbQIxMQABp-kPKUXOAPgOA9TM2WO0otnkyudGMFD_0VxAb9gbuEMYywdeGqI-NiO846u5_aem_rWAV-Rl0GEcHIqsXu4ysLw📢 Loved this episode?
