Welcome everybody. I am so thrilled to be with you today. My name again, my name is Mastin Kipp, and I'm a best selling author, creator of Functional Life Coaching, and, the world's 1st and best trauma informed coaching. And we're here to help you not just heal the past, But we wanna start to talk about aligning with, your purpose in life and helping you unlock your unlimited
potential. And just an interesting anecdote Before I get started, I did a little, you know, it's not, like, exactly scientific, but I did a poll on Instagram, today. And I asked a question, to my followers. And the question was, do you feel like you've been doing a lot of nervous system work, A lot of nervous system regulation, a lot of emotional regulation, a lot of goal setting, etcetera. And the effort that you're putting in Ng. Doesn't equal the results that you're getting.
And a staggering 79% of people said yes. That is the case. And so If that's you, by the way, who here is anyone here for that way that, like, I've been putting in all this effort, and where are my results? I want my results. I have done my breath work. I have done my somatic work. I want to be happy. I want the finances. I want the relationship. I want the results of all this
hard work. That is what we're gonna be talking about. So if you feel like you've been doing a lot of personal work, the coaching, the therapy, the energy work, the breathing, the business trainings, the the the sales trainings, but you still feel like you're stuck, like you're not completing your goals, like you're feeling frustrated, or like you're feeling guilty, overwhelmed, or unclear. And maybe maybe you've been creating a little bit of change. Maybe
you haven't been able to create lasting change. Maybe you're having a hard time trusting yourself. This is what we see a lot. Maybe you're stuck in procrastination or perfectionism or distraction, or overwhelmed. I know that's a big one today. You're in the right place. Now by the time people meet me, usually, I'm not the First person that you've met in the personal development space. You maybe you've done some trauma
work. Maybe you've done some coaching. Maybe you've done some energy work. Maybe you know a little bit about trauma. You're not too sure what that is. Maybe you don't even know if you have trauma. You think that's just for people who are not like you, who know you're just stressed. You don't have trauma. You're just stressed. I understand. Maybe you have been thinking that, you know, you're just kinda stuck in this person that
you don't wanna be. And we know some people who, you know, Pre pandemic were a certain way, and they haven't been able to get back to the this this person they were before. And there's some parts of us maybe we don't want back from before the pandemic, But also there's some things that we wanna activate and kinda turn on. So wherever you are, like, in your journey, I
just wanna let you know that you are absolutely in the right place. You do not have to stay stuck, And there's a good reason why you have been stuck, and the neuroscience lets us know that it's not your fault. I want to help you Have more information and to get better results and have better implementation. I wanna highlight why old models are keeping you stuck, and And I want you to understand something. I'm not against practitioners. Okay?
Every practitioner out there, therapists, coaches, doctors, etcetera, mean well, but not many therapists, coaches, or practitioners are researchers and have a research focus like we do. And so we're always trying to bring the newest latest stuff Singh. To the forefront for you to be able to apply it in your life to get better results. So this is not because your coach or your therapist is bad. Okay? That's
not why. It's because They're probably focused on coaching and therapy ing, and they're not doing the research like what we're doing, and we're always trying to lead on that research. And the other thing is is that what we see is the reason why I got the coaching is I just wanted to help have something work. I I just want something to work. I I just I just
wanna be, like, what's the thing I gotta do to make it work? The relationship, the money, my body, like, what actually works, and what we found is that the models that a lot of these practitioners are being taught by the larger institutions need an upgrade. That's really the bottom line is that there needs to be an upgrade in the models that people are learning. And with us, I have over $20,000 working with people, and I meet people when they've done
lots of work. They've done the retreats. They've done the seminars. They've done the therapies, the biohacking, the psychedelics, The meditation, the spiritual work, the self healing, but they're still stuck. And here's the thing. I still love all that stuff, but there's a way to do it. There's a way to approach it where we can get results or we can just keep our wheels spinning. And what we don't want is we don't want you to have your wheels spinning anymore.
We want you to get results. And being stuck is not your fault. So if you feel like you're stuck and you're doing all the work, but you're not getting the results or they're not happening fast enough, The reason may or may not be why you think. What we've seen is that the latest neuroscience shows and suggest that you are stuck Singh because you are a bad person. No. I'm just kidding. I'm just totally kidding. I'm totally kidding. You are stuck because totally just wanna
see if you're paying attention. Okay? You're stuck because some of you are like, I don't know what bastard said. No. I'm kidding. I'm kidding. I'm kidding. You're stuck because you have what's called an inflexible nervous system. Okay. What that means is your nervous system, and every nervous system to a degree is inflexible, has a range of responses it can tolerate. If you want more love, if you want more joy, if you want more finances, we have to help your nervous system have
more available responses than are currently available. Singh. Right? If you're getting triggered in a relationship but you want healthy love, we need more flexible nervous system. If you want more financial abundance and you only have a few responses to what you're doing to grow or start a business or to get more money in your job. Okay? We need to create more nervous system flexibility.
Singh. If you want to have healthier outcomes in your body and you only have a few different responses, we need to create more nervous system flexibility. Who falls? This make sense? Singh. Okay? We need more available options for what you can do. You are there's an inflexibility in your responses, meaning a limited range of Fontes. And when we have a limited range of responses, we
have limited options that become available for us. And we wanna create more options, But we have to help the internal shift as well because when the internal shifts becomes more flexible, then more becomes available in the world. So we move forward When our nervous system feels safe to move forward but here's the irony. Everybody's talking about safety today, and I think that this is huge. We've been talking about safety, I don't know, 15 years. I'm not too sure how long, but for a very long
period of time. But here's the thing. Safety Does not mean there is a lack of challenge, and safety does not mean there's a lack of courage, and safety does not mean But you won't be scared. Safety means you're safe enough to risk because we're here to help you grow. Okay? This is not about coddling you. This is not about having you feel so safe that you have no challenges in your life because that's not what growth
that's not where growth comes from. Right? When we look at, like, how does muscle grow in the body, we have to challenge our muscles and create microtrauma, but then we have to have enough safety to be able to recover, and it's in the recovery that we're able to get stronger. And guess what? You know what's cool about getting stronger, like, in your body and why you have to lift more weights over time because it becomes harder to hurt you.
Isn't that cool? I think it's a cool that's a cool thought. The stronger you are in your body, The harder it is to hurt you. Right? Some people can get hurt with a 15 pound dumbbell, and some people can get hurt with a 100 pound dumbbell. Right? Depends on how strong you are. Who follows? This makes sense? Singh. Okay? Some people try to do a deadlift where you bend over, right, with no weight and their low back goes out and they're 32.
Some people try to bend over, do a Romanian deadlift with £500, and they're 52, and they can do it, and they're female. I just saw this, by the way, on Instagram. It was trending recently. I think she did, like, £300 Deadlift in her sixties. I was like, oh my god. That's incredible. Right? So this is about strength and flexibility,
but we need safety to produce that. Safety in this context is a lack of a threat, not a lack of a traumatizing threat, not the lack of something Threatening or create something that you have to do that's courageous. Does that make sense? Are y'all with me on this? Are you following? Okay. Because I think what's happened today in the world is that there's been an overprioritization of safety, and what people think safety means is I shouldn't have to
be uncomfortable. And uncomfortability and safety are not the same thing. There's a degree of uncomfortability that we gotta get into. Who falls? Is are you with me on this? This is making sense. Okay? So the key is to learn how to create a more flexible nervous Just in the presence of challenge. Now if we go back to the the weight training analogy for a second, there's some weights that you could go into the gym and pick up, and they would challenge you. There's some weights that you could go
to the gym with and pick up, and they would hurt you. Who falls? This makes sense? Right? Be too heavy. Okay? So what we're not saying is go take go in your 1st day back at the gym, go pick up the heaviest weight you can and just pick it up and and go. No. What we're saying is we need to create more flexibility, more strength over time through challenge, through flexibility, and through what you're gonna be learning here. Because When we have flexibility
combined with strength, then we have performance. And here's my favorite analogy, to kinda ground this for you because emotions are invisible and muscles in the body is you can see. Okay? So Tom Brady, it's probably one of the greatest athletes and full and certainly the greatest quarterback of all time. And he recently retired, I think, around 44 or 45 years old. Now 44 or 45 years old in the NFL Is a senior citizen. Okay? Just so we're
super clear. Okay? Most people retire from the NFL in their early to mid thirties. Okay? If not sooner because they get taken out by injury. Does that make sense? Right? They're too traumatized to move forward. When you look at how did Tom Brady Singh. Hang in the NFL for, like, 2 or 3 times longer than the average person. It's because he created a flexible and pliable body that could take a hit. Singh. Right? So when he took a hit, it he wasn't fragile. He wasn't as,
as as, brittle Singh as other people. And one of the analogies he gives around hydration is, you know, if you're not hydrated, your body's kinda like beef jerky. Beef jerky is pretty easy to break. If you're hydrated, your body's kinda like rib eye where it's, like, a little warm moist. Now apologies to the vegans. Okay? But the idea is is that we need to have that flexibility to be able to Singh Ford because guess what? If you can take a hit and I don't mean, like, a physical abuse
hit. Okay? Just so we're super clear. I mean, like, Somebody doesn't respond to your sales message online. I mean, like, you know what? You didn't quite hit the revenue that you wanted to get. Oh, you know what? Your partner said something that triggered you. If you're able to Be able to understand and have something not impact you the same way, but understand its impact on you. Okay? You can navigate things because guess what? As you grow, life only becomes more complex.
You wanna go from 0 to $10,000 a month in revenue. That's more complex. You wanna go from $10,000 a month to $100,000 a month in revenue? It's more complex. You're single and you start dating. Is it more complex? Yes or no? Singh. You better believe it. You start dating. Let's say you move in together. More complex? Yes or no? Singh. You decide to have a child together. More complex? Yes or no? Oh, yeah. You buy a house together. More complex? Yes or no? You remodel Put us
together. Yes or no? Okay. Right. Life only becomes more complex. And if you maintain The same level of flexibility and strength that you have now, you will not be able to handle the complexity and challenge. Who follows? Does this make sense? Are y'all with me on this?
