   S1 E44 How to Know If You’re Actually Changing: The Missing Evidence Most Personal Growth Skips

   Have you ever left a workshop, coaching session, or great book feeling inspired… only to find yourself doing the same old thing a few weeks later? In this episode of The Abundance Effect, Larisa Makuch introduces one of the most overlooked tools in real change work: evidence procedure. Because feeling better is not the same as changing. Good vibes are not proof. Motivation is not proof. Real transformation shows up in your behaviour, choices, communication, follow-through, and results. Inside this episode, Larisa explores: ✔ Why feelings are not evidence of change ✔ What evidence procedure is ✔ How to know if change has actually happened ✔ Why your brain needs proof of a new identity ✔ How to define progress in real-life terms ✔ Why transformation should not be left to chance Try this: Pick one area of your life where you want change and ask: How will I know I’ve actually changed? What will I be doing differently? What will I stop doing? What are three concrete pieces of evidence that would show this change is real? Because hope is not the same as evidence. ✨ Roadblock Assessment Special Offer If this episode resonated and you’re tired of guessing what your real roadblocks are, Larisa is offering $100 off the Roadblock Assessment.

   S1 E43 Why You Keep Self-Sabotaging: The Unconscious Patterns Behind Your Choices

   Have you ever known exactly what you should do… and still watched yourself do something completely different? You planned to speak up, but stayed quiet. You promised yourself you’d stop checking email at night, but reached for your phone without thinking. You knew the difficult conversation needed to happen, but suddenly reorganizing your desk felt urgent. In this episode of The Abundance Effect, Larisa Makuch breaks down how the unconscious mind influences habits, emotions, decisions, procrastination, self-sabotage, and the patterns that keep repeating even when you “know better.” Inside this episode, Larisa explores: ✔ What the conscious and unconscious minds actually do ✔ Why the conscious mind sets goals, but the unconscious mind often gets results ✔ How automatic patterns shape your choices ✔ Why old programming can keep running your current life ✔ Why “just do better” usually doesn’t work ✔ How to notice one repeated pattern without judgment ✔ Why your automatic patterns are not your destiny You’ll also learn a simple awareness exercise to help you identify what happens right before you fall into an old habit, avoidance pattern, or emotional reaction. Because what has been learned can be examined. What has been automated can be retrained. And what has limited you in the past can become a doorway to something greater. ✨ Join Larisa’s free live masterclass, Mentally Full: https://event.myabundanceacademy.ca/mentally-full (https://event.myabundanceacademy.ca/mentally-full) 📖 Read Larisa’s article on the Prime Directives of the Unconscious Mind: https://myabundanceacademy.ca/your-unconscious-mind-what-is-it-set-up-to-provide-and-do-for-you/ (https://myabundanceacademy.ca/your-unconscious-mind-what-is-it-set-up-to-provide-and-do-for-you/) 🔗 Connect with Larisa: https://myabundanceacademy.ca/ (https://myabundanceacademy.ca/) Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/myabundanceacademy/ (https://www.instagram.com/myabundanceacademy/) LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/larisa-makuch/ (https://www.linkedin.com/in/larisa-makuch/) Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/larisa.makuch (https://www.facebook.com/larisa.makuch)

   S1 E42 You’re Not What You Eat: How Digestion, Detox & Mindful Eating Change Everything with Carley Simandl

   Have you ever eaten what should have been a perfectly healthy meal… and felt terrible afterwards? We spend so much time talking about what we eat. But we spend far less time talking about how we eat — and whether our bodies are actually in a state to receive what we are giving them. In this episode of The Abundance Effect, Larisa Makuch is joined by Carley Simandl, a Registered Holistic Nutritionist, Yoga Teacher, and International Wellness Retreat Host. Carley began her career as a professional makeup artist, working in film, fashion, television, and advertising, completing over 10,000 faces in her makeup chair. But after seeing recurring patterns of redness, inflammation, dehydration, and skin concerns in her clients, she became curious about what was happening beneath the surface. That curiosity led her into holistic nutrition, digestion, detoxification, yoga, breathwork, mindfulness, and what she now calls beauty from the inside out — one breath and one bite at a time. Inside this episode, Larisa and Carley explore: ✔ Why you are not just what you eat — you are what you digest, absorb, assimilate, and eliminate ✔ Why healthy food can still leave you feeling bloated, tired, or uncomfortable ✔ How stress and rushing affect digestion ✔ Why chewing your food matters more than most people realize ✔ Why the mouth is an important but often overlooked part of digestion ✔ How digestion moves through ingestion, digestion, absorption, assimilation, and elimination ✔ Why mindful eating can change your energy, skin, mood, and overall well-being ✔ The connection between food, mood, emotions, and the nervous system ✔ Why your body needs to be in a receptive state to properly digest ✔ How gratitude and presence can shift your physiology before a meal ✔ Why detox is not one-size-fits-all ✔ What your skin may be telling you about what is happening inside ✔ Why food is an investment in your energy, clarity, performance, and vitality Carley also shares simple practices you can begin using right away, including pausing before a meal, breathing, expressing gratitude, chewing more intentionally, sitting down to eat, and removing distractions from your eating environment. This conversation is especially powerful if you struggle with bloating, low energy, skin issues, sluggish digestion, emotional eating, or feeling disconnected from your body. It is also a beautiful reminder that the simple things are often the things we most easily dismiss. Sit down. Breathe. Chew. Pause. Pay attention. Your body is always communicating with you. The question is whether you are listening. ✨ Connect with Carley Simandl Website: www.thepowerflowcouple.com Learn more about Carley’s Rest and Digest Retreat: https://www.thepowerflowcouple.com/wellness-retreats/rest-and-digest Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/carleysimandl/ 🔗 Connect with Larisa Website: https://myabundanceacademy.ca/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/myabundanceacademy/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/larisa-makuch/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/larisa.makuch Join the Unleash Your Abundance Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/unleashyourabundancenow
