EPISODE 20 — Not Enough — Five True Stories of Smarts, Self-Worth, and Creating What the World Is Missing Forthwith

Part 4 of the Adopt-a-Not series.

From an Oxford lawyer face-off to holiday table diplomacy, a clinic sting that sparked a career lane change, and a forthwith creation that proves value grows when you use your own recipe of smarts.This episode delivers five true stories that prove your value has nothing to do with letters after your name and everything to do with the smarts you already have.

You will hear:

• Oxford lawyer face-off — the showdown that flipped intimidation into respect.
  

• Holiday table diplomacy — turning a left-brain brag fest into a right-brain connection.
  

• The smarts list — discovering People Smart, Flow Smart, and Big Picture Smart in my own recipe.
  

• Clinic sting that sparked a career lane change — how a tense moment opened the perfect door.
  

• Forthwith creation — the day a single word became merchandise because it was missing until I made it.
  

This is part four in the 7-part Adopt-a-Nots series, and it is all about finding your smarts, mixing them into your own recipe, and realizing you are already enough.

💡 Moral of the story: When you know your recipe of smarts, you stop trying to fit someone else’s mold. You start creating your own opportunities — forthwith.

🎙️ EPISODE 19 — Not Wanted

Not Wanted — Reclaiming Your Worth After Being Rejected, Misunderstood, and Overlooked

From workplace betrayal to butterfly wisdom near a septic tank, this episode unpacks what it means to feel unwanted—and offers self-worth tools to help you rebuild confidence and reclaim your value.

In this episode: Jax dives into the deep ache of feeling unwanted—and the very real impact of rejection, betrayal, and being pushed aside.

Through three honest, layered stories, this episode explores what happens when your value goes unseen and how to reclaim it for yourself.

🔶 Story 1: A butterfly lands on a flower no one chose—and transforms how we define value

🔶 Story 2: A military job, a muddy disaster, and the moment Jax’s son stood firm in his self-worth

🔶 Story 3: A call center betrayal that forced Jax to leave behind familiarity and step toward freedom

This episode is for anyone who’s been:

• Overlooked or underestimated
  

• Labeled as too much
  

• Dismissed by people who once claimed to support you
  

• Ready to stop proving and start choosing themselves
  

“It is a recognition problem, never a value problem.” — Just Jax

You’ll walk away with grounded self-worth tools you can actually use, including how to:

• Spot the difference between being rejected and being redirected
  

• Build self-recognition using the phrase “I’m the type of person…”
  

• Rewire how you respond to subtle put-downs, silences, or sudden cold shoulders

EP 18: NOT SAFE: The Trap of Imagined Danger

This 2nd Adopt-a-Not episode explores the fear behind ‘being prepared’—and how shifting from panic to trust can ease anxiety and reveal what safety really feels like.

I refused to carry orange construction triangles. He called it reckless. I called it belief. This episode of the Adopt-a-Not series challenges the link between control and protection—and unpacks how true safety begins within.

Some people plan for every worst-case scenario. Others trust themselves to handle what shows up.

This episode goes deeper than roadside gear. It asks what safety really means—and whether fear is shaping our definition of protection.

Jax shares the fight that erupted across 800 miles, over triangles, bald tires, and spiritual trust. But it was never about the hill. It was about two people—two beliefs—and one clear decision:

Fear may feel responsible, but belief feels free.

If you're exhausted from carrying emotional packing lists, this one’s for you. Get ready to swap control for calm, and trade survival mode for self-trust.

Quote from the episode: “Believing something bad will happen is the first step in manifesting it.”

✅EP 17 Not Seen — Turns Out That Was My Superpower All Along

✅ Subtitle: I faded into the background, shape-shifted to fit the room, and called it survival. But disappearing gave me clarity, and from that quiet space, I built something louder than approval: the real me. This is the first of the 7-part Adopt-a-Not series.

We're starting where the damage is quiet—where going unseen feels safer than being yourself.

In this debut episode, I pull back the curtain on Not Seen and the shape-shifting that ruled my life for way too long.

Inside this episode:

– The moment my mom admitted I caused her stress

—and how little I’d actually done

– My brother taking up space while I kept shrinking

– That memory at the ball hockey rink, where I showed up bold and still felt invisible –

Wearing bright colors, twisting myself into a human pretzel, and still missing the mark –

How praise for being easygoing helped erase me entirely.

I became a chameleon—first for my mom, then for my aunt—and eventually found a version of myself that belonged to neither.

That’s when Jax showed up.

This episode is about more than invisibility. It’s about clarity and how fading into the background gave me the space to hear me.

You’ll hear: – Why shape-shifting always costs more than it gives – What visibility really means (and it has nothing to do with volume) –

How disappearing became a superpower—because this time, I chose it

🌀 Not Seen kicks off a raw and honest series about the Nots we adopt to stay safe—when what we really crave is to feel seen, wanted, and true to who we are.

Quote to carry with you: “The cure to invisibility is showing up as your full, authentic self.”

🎧 Press play when you're ready to stop blending in—and start belonging to yourself.

🎙 Episode 16: Hypnosis, Healing, and the Truth About Control

Guest: Kimberly Lynne, Board Certified Hypnotist

From fear to freedom—Kimberly Lynne unpacks the power of hypnosis, emotional repair, and reclaiming your mind

If hypnosis gives you flashbacks to stage shows, swinging watches, and clucking chickens—this episode may blow your mind in the best way.

Jax sits down with Kimberly Lynne, a trauma-informed, double board-certified hypnotist, to unravel the truth about what hypnosis really is, how it works, and why it belongs in every healing toolbox. From nervous system overwhelm to religious fear, from trauma loops to subconscious reprogramming—this conversation peels back the stigma and brings forward science, safety, and real tools for transformation.

You’ll walk away understanding:

• Why trauma gets stuck (and how hypnosis can help refile the emotional junk drawer)
  

• How your subconscious mind holds patterns that feel bigger than logic
  

• The difference between hypnosis, EMDR, meditation, and memory-based therapy
  

• What a healthy, ethical hypnotic relationship looks like
  

• Why hypnosis actually puts you in the driver’s seat
  

• And yes... how holding in a fart mid-session proved Jax had full control
  

Kimberly shares insights from years of study, deep practice, and personal reconciliation with her own religious background—and how hypnosis supported both spiritual peace and mental clarity.

Whether you're spiritually cautious, clinically curious, or just emotionally exhausted, this episode will challenge assumptions and offer a new path to personal power.

Episode 15: Scratch-and-Dent to Sacred Worth: The Crocheted Dog Miracle

Catch up on the story with Episode 14: I Called Bullshit on the Meditation—Then Everything Shifted with Brenda Johnston

💡 Episode 15 Overview

What does healing look like when it shows up in a box?
This week, Jax unpacks a hand-crocheted miracle—one that took fifty years to land. Inside that box: a basset hound made of yarn, sent without a card, without a warning, and with more impact than any apology ever could.

This episode traces a childhood heartbreak, a long pattern of scratch-and-dent shame, and the exact moment a gift rewrote the story. Along the way, Jax dives into the mirroring concept, daily Ho‘oponopono, and the emotional boomerang of generational patterns—plus a road-rage reframe for anyone who has ever cursed a stranger behind the wheel.

Episode 15 is about self-worth, unexpected repair, and the freedom that comes when your story breaks open in a way you never planned.

• A childhood tea fundraiser, a crocheted dog named Danville, and the moment that defined a scarcity wound

• Why owning beautiful things felt unsafe for decades—and what shifted

• A totally unexpected gift from Jax’s mother that reopened a closed door

• How humor, pain, and long-held memories carry more mirrors than we expect

• A simple but powerful Ho‘oponopono practice for self-forgiveness and inner-child healing

• A road-rage example that explains why context always matters

• The bridge into next week’s hypnosis guest (board-certified, radically confident)

• The launchpad for the Seven Adopt-a-Nots series—what we pick up that never belonged

🎙️ Episode 14 — I Called Bullshit on the Meditation. Then Everything Changed.

A spiritual faceplant, an unexpected breakthrough, and a path back to myself.
Guest: Brenda Johnston, subconscious strategist and host of The Limitless Life

Some meditations feel like magic.
Others feel like manipulation.

This one felt like a trap—until everything shifted.

This episode begins with resistance and ends with something I never expected: a new voice, a redefined identity, and a deeper understanding of how energy creates everything. Brenda Johnston joins me to talk subconscious work, prosperity re-coding, and the exact pivot that helped me stop performing and start transmitting truth.

Before Brenda, I layered tools on top of old survival patterns. I believed I had healed, but deep down I was still waiting for permission. She helped me reprogram the part of me that held the fear and let my voice start working for me instead of against me.

We go there:
✨ The energy people feel before you ever speak
✨ Why subconscious safety shapes identity
✨ Frequency-led leadership, explained without fluff
✨ Emotional neutrality vs. spiritual bypassing
✨ What happened when I finally met my future self

You’ll hear about the moment at the kitchen island, the meditation that made me want to run, and the reframe that became the launch point for this podcast.

This is the story of how it finally clicked—and who helped make that possible.

“It’s the energy behind the thought that creates the result.”

🎙️ Episode 13 – The Healing Modality Salad

Mirror Work, EFT, Tarot, and Ho’oponopono: How I Released Blame and Reclaimed My Voice

When I gave healing a fair shot, I started with the mirror. I met my younger self eye to eye—and she deserved more.

Henri McKinnon’s self-awareness work gave me language for what I had carried. Tarot dropped a truth bomb I never expected, and the Five of Pentacles showed me two figures I needed to let go.

Tori Hartman helped me trace that fear back through silence and grief—what began as paranoia became perspective.

Tapping came in when I froze before hitting record—Gary Craig and the Ortners built the foundation, but Jenn Dragonette gave me a fresh sequence I could actually use.

And the one tool I come back to again and again—Ho’oponopono.

Each of these practices helped release a piece of the blame I held. This episode opens the door. Future episodes will go deeper into the tools that helped me untie each of the seven deadly NOTs—starting with my interviews with Brenda Johnston, Kimberly Lynne, and the 50-year-old miracle that cracked me open in the best way.
