Lingoda is a partner of success story. Look, I'll be real with you. My French used to be solid. I learned it in school. I even had decent pronunciation. But when I booked a trip to France last year, it was a total blank. I could barely order a croissant without sounding like a tourist. So I jumped into the Lingoda Sprint challenge and, man, it changed everything. I'd take live classes late at night after podcasting. Only five students, max. Real teachers, real, real conversations. And in just two months, I went from bonjour to holding full conversations at a Paris cafe. Confidence unlocked. Now, here's the play. 30 or 60 classes in 60 days. And if you finish them all, you get 50% cash back. That's basically €4 or $5 per class. That's insane value. Go to try.lingoda.com successsprint and then use my code Scott Sprint for an extra €20 off on top of their current deal. Registration closes May 5th. Classes start May 12th. Let's get fluent. HubSpot is a success story partner. Now, if you're an entrepreneur, listen up, because HubSpot makes impossible growth impossibly easy for their customers. If you are building a business, you need to get HubSpot. Why? Here's the perfect example. Morehouse College needed to reach new students with fresh, engaging content, a problem that every single business in the world has. But with a 900 page website, even the tiniest update took 30 minutes to publish. Now Breeze, which is HubSpot's collection of AI tools, helped them write and optimize their content in a fraction of the time. And the results? 30% more page views. And visitors now spend 27% more time on their site. If you are ready for impossible growth like this, visit HubSpot.com in this lesson's episode, discover how rapid transformational therapy helps overcome the belief of I'm not enough by using powerful affirmations to rewire the brain. Learn why embracing I am enough boosts confidence, improves relationships, and supports success. And why accepting your true self is key to lasting change.

How does. How does this TIE Into. Into RTT, into rapid transformational therapy? Because you've taught something like 13,000 and probably counting therapists worldwide this test.
Therapist
19,000.
Clay
So obviously a lot of people know this technique.
Marisa
Yeah, well, not enough yet, but a lot. Yeah.
Clay
How does this tie into. I mean, you're doing good work. So listen, one. One therapist at a time.
Therapist
You're teaching them.
Clay
That's all that matters. So, yeah, how does this tie into, like, how does this technique sort of Take people from where they are today before they're listening to this podcast or where they are in their life and take them to the point where they do feel that they're enough. They are happy with the work they're doing. They are tapped into the one thing they're meant to do in the world. How does this technique sort of facilitate what you're trying to teach?
Marisa
Well, I did is very fast. It's rapid transformation therapy. So what it does is in, in a session, it takes you back to what caused any issues you have. Somebody might say, you know, I procrastinate, I self sabotage. But really the core of almost all of our issues is this. I'm not enough. I'm not worthy enough. I'm not attractive enough, I'm not educated enough, I'm not interesting enough. There's so many ways of thinking you're not enough. And if you feel you're not enough, you will need more. More food, more stuff. You know, the emptiness inside comes from this not enoughness. But the thing is, it's not even true. So what RTT does is it invites you to go back and find out where did it begin? Because no one is worried. I'm not enough. I'm not enough. You know, I've done, I help fund an orphanage in Zimbabwe and these kids have got nothing. But they feel like they've got everything. They don't think, oh, but I've been abandoned by my parents, therefore I don't count. They cry just like a kid that's got everything. And so the first step is to understand that whatever you're thinking you're not enough of, it's not true. You're worthy enough, you're good enough. And so if the common issue of all our other issues stems when I'm not enough, then surely the answer is to flip that or I am enough. So the most simple thing is put it on your phone alerts twice a day, stamp it on your pillows in marker, have it written on your fridge. I have these braces that will say I'm enough. And I have it all over my house. And start to not just say it, but state it, affirm it, embody it. I'm enough. I'm enough. I'm enough. Repeat it, repeat it, repeat it. At first you'll go, but I'm not really enough because I haven't got a degree. I'm not really enough because I get all my clothes in Target. I'm not really enough because I'm living in a shared house with people that haven't got anything either. But then eventually you'll run out of objections because the person who's objecting is you. You're coming up with objections that eventually you'll run out. And then you go. Then your mind goes. You know, you say that every day. It must be true. Now it's going to sink in because you are enough. You know, I was watching the Victoria's Secret show last week, thinking what a terrible message it's saying to women. If you look at this in your underwear, you'll be happy. And that's not true. Many women look gorgeous in their underwear and want to kill themselves. Rob Prozac, they're anorexic. Just being if beautiful made you happy. Everyone is. People say, I'm so happy. You know, we saw poor Liam Payne from One Direction last week. This mess that poor young boy was in because he didn't feel enough either. So you have to go back to the beginning. If you don't think you're enough, it's not true. You're in great company. 80% of us have it. But it's your job to get rid of it by saying, I'm enough. I'm enough. I'm enough. Keep saying it, saying it, saying it. It will sink in. The mind learns by repetition. Write it in lots of places and eventually it will go in and you'll start to feel so dramatically different. Because if everything comes from feeling not enough, if you're reversing that, you're reversing all of your issues. You know, I've never met an alcoholic ever in my life who thought they were enough, or a bulimic or an anorexic. But I've met many who said, you know, that statement just subtly changed my entire life. I stopped starving myself, I stopped binging, I stopped drinking. Someone wrote to me and said, I actually stopped having suicidal thoughts when I heard you say over and over again, I'm enough. I'm enough. I'm enough. You know, I've had the I'm enough movement for, I think, 10 years now, and we've got amazing feedback, so we know it works. We've had schools who tell us, you know, bullying has disappeared in this school when all the kids say, I'm enough. And the bullies are the ones who benefit the most because they stop bullying kids. Because, of course, a bully thinks, I'm not enough. Why don't I make you feel not enough? And then I'll feel a bit more adequate.

Clay
Clay it's interesting how it's such a simple phrase and I want to understand how this actually impacts us on, on a mental level, like what it's doing to our brain when we repeat these kinds of, these kinds of sayings, I guess affirmations for, for lack of a better word, because what we, what I think the average person does, because I'm guilty of this too. And I think that this is a trap that people fall into. The need for more, the need for more. And you, and you pursue that via working harder or, I don't know, like, you know, you're trying to lose more weight than what's healthy or you are, you're not happy with your spouse, so you're cheating. Like you're doing all these things that are in unhealthy amounts. So you're looking for, you're looking for ways to validate yourself in any way possible outside of just being okay with who you are right now. And I think that some people take it to an extreme, but I think at a very rudimentary level, everybody has some issues with their self worth. And regardless of whether or not it's like the work or the extreme dieting or the, you know, looking for an escape in terms of drugs or multiple partners or alcohol, like somebody's looking for an escape from their life in some way. Everyone has their own thing. So I think I know, I think I know why people do that because they, they don't have these sort of, these frameworks in place to really understand who they are and the value they bring to the world because they've played this comparison game their whole life. But when you start to say things like, I, I am enough for some people, it may seem like, okay, well, how is that Going to, How is that going to get me over my anorexia or bulimia? Or how is that going to stop me from working a hundred hours a week? Even though I'm, I'm dead tired and I'm burnt out and I'm stressed in the week, I feel like I have to make this much money or I have to make my company, you know, be. Get to this size. What does this like simple saying actually do? Does it like rewire your brain to a degree?
Marisa
Is there some neuroplasticity? You know, neuroplasticity, which is science, that when you think certain thoughts, you're creating different neurons. Quantum physics says, and quantum physics is a more reliable science than medical science. It says if I change my thoughts, I change my energy, I change my vibrations, then it change. I can change not just me, but I can change my relationship with you. And quantum physics is a very reliable science. Most people say, oh, isn't this tough? Woo. I say two things actually. It's not woo woo, it's quantum physics. And by the way, woo woo actually works. Even if it was woo woo woo. It's great. It works. So let's go to the love thing. You know, you're about to meet someone on a date and you're gonna think, oh my God, I hope I'm good enough for them. I hope they, I hope I don't bore them. I hope they don't reject me. And you should be saying, this person's gonna see how amazing I am. Cause when you know you're enough, you don't think, oh, but I better work for love and chase love and earn love and put on my best self and make a real effort so that they might like me. You go, I'm enough. I'm lovable enough. Of course, still make an effort, but never go on a date saying, are they? Will I be good enough for them? Say, I hope they're good enough for me. This is the person who can see that I'm an amazing person. And so same thing in a career, you know, if you're chasing and chasing and chasing more recognition and working hard and burning out, you need to go back and go, hey, I am talented enough, I'm good enough. And I go to my boss and go, I've got this great idea, I've got this unique skill because when you know you're enough, it resonates from you to the level that people pick up. It's that quantum physics again, if I know I'm enough, really know it. And I can State it, affirm it enough so it becomes resonates out of me. Other people know it too. So I've worked on many shows where I've been on a judging panel and people come in and you know, the ones that know they've got it and the ones that are faking it, when you fake it, you just feel like a fake. When you can resonate, I'm enough, you know, I got a gift or you're safe with me. I'm a smart person. Just like animals know when they're safe with you. And kids know, Children know if you like children. Animals know if you like animals. Once you get it inside of you, it's not just in you, it resonates out from you and it's very reassuring. Confidence is reassuring. It's quite sexy. And neediness is the opposite of that. So it comes back to, it's your job, it's your job to go, hey, what do I need to hear? And why aren't I just telling myself those things every day? I'm confident, I'm self assured, I'm going to go out a date and go, this person's lucky to be with me because I'm a great person. Of course I'm going to get that job, that pay rise, that promotion because I'm ready and I've got what it takes. But a lot of us give that job to someone, I think, can you do that for me? Well, I could, but better if you do it because then you won't be needy. And the same thing with our we should be saying to our kids every day, you're a smart kid, you know, you're so lucky. You're good at math. That's all you need in life. Yes, you know, you're good at art and that's where you're gonna go instead of saying, but can you be good at the guitar and the piano? And I have so many distraught children whose parents try to make them do the piano or the violin. They absolutely hate it. I say to all these musical parents, you know, you haven't given birth to yourself. It's really your kid's got migraines because you make them play the piano every day. And they don't even, like, they can't even tell you, but their body is telling you. The feeling that cannot find its expression in tears will cause other organs to weep. And I have so many kids whose hair's falling out, they've got headaches and in they come. And they always say, my mom makes me play the violin. I have to do the piano every day I gotta play chess because my dad's a chess person. And they go, and I can't tell him I hate it. So I say to the parents, listen, you need to let your kid dream their own dream. One of the saddest things is how we try to make someone else's story our story. I gotta be a mathematician because my dad was into math. So I've gotta be into this. Cause my parents are into it. But the truth is we don't give birth to ourselves. My daughter is nothing like me. She's talented and amazing, but she's very. I'm very tidy. She's very disorganized. I'm a minimalist. She's an absolute maximalist. She loves having masses of stuff. And I never think, oh, I think, of course, because I didn't get birth. How boring to give birth to yourself. I mean, that would bore you to tears. Your kids are your teachers. They're not supposed to be. They're supposed to be nothing like you. And they don't have a voice to say, I don't really like this. So they begin to create all kinds of pains and illnesses because they're not able to say, that's not my bag. But we should allow them to say that. We should allow them to say, mum, this is your dream. It's not my dream.

Success Story Podcast Episode Summary
Title: Lessons - Rewiring Your Mind: The Revolutionary Therapy Changing Mental Health
Guest: Marisa Peer - Hypnotherapy Expert & RTT Creator
Hosted by: Scott D. Clary, Success Story Media
Release Date: May 19, 2025
In this insightful episode of the Success Story Podcast, host Scott D. Clary sits down with Marisa Peer, a renowned hypnotherapy expert and creator of Rapid Transformational Therapy (RTT). The conversation delves deep into the mechanisms of RTT, its impact on mental health, and practical strategies for overcoming ingrained negative beliefs.
Marisa Peer introduces RTT as a swift and effective therapeutic approach designed to address the root causes of various personal issues. Unlike traditional therapy methods that may take years, RTT facilitates rapid change by targeting and rewiring the subconscious mind.
Marisa Peer [02:37]: "RTT is very fast. It's rapid transformation therapy. So what it does is in a session, it takes you back to what caused any issues you have."
A fundamental premise of RTT is the pervasive belief of "I'm not enough," which Marisa identifies as the core issue underlying many personal struggles, including procrastination, self-sabotage, and addictive behaviors.
Marisa Peer [03:11]: "The core of almost all of our issues is this. I'm not enough. I'm not worthy enough. I'm not attractive enough..."
Marisa emphasizes the necessity of shifting from a deficit-based mindset ("I'm not enough") to an affirming one ("I am enough"). This transformation is achieved through consistent affirmations and cognitive restructuring.
Marisa Peer [03:45]: "The first step is to understand that whatever you're thinking you're not enough of, it's not true. You're worthy enough, you're good enough."
Addressing the scientific foundation of RTT, Marisa discusses neuroplasticity—the brain's ability to reorganize itself by forming new neural connections. She explains how repeated positive affirmations can rewire the brain, solidifying new, empowering beliefs.
Marisa Peer [12:40]: "It's your job to go, hey, what do I need to hear? And why aren't I just telling myself those things every day?"
Marisa provides actionable strategies for embedding affirmations into daily life. These include setting phone alerts, writing affirmations on pillows and refrigerators, and consistently verbalizing "I'm enough" to internalize the message.
Marisa Peer [04:50]: "Put it on your phone alerts twice a day, stamp it on your pillows in marker, have it written on your fridge. I have these braces that will say I'm enough."
The discussion highlights how RTT and affirmations have effectively addressed severe mental health challenges. Marisa shares testimonials of individuals overcoming addictions, eating disorders, and suicidal thoughts by adopting the "I'm enough" mantra.
Marisa Peer [06:15]: "Someone wrote to me and said, I actually stopped having suicidal thoughts when I heard you say over and over again, I'm enough."
Marisa explores how self-worth affects interpersonal relationships and parenting. She advocates for fostering self-assurance to build healthier connections and suggests that parents should support their children's individual dreams rather than imposing their own aspirations.
Marisa Peer [15:30]: "We should allow them to say, mum, this is your dream. It's not my dream."
The episode concludes with a reinforcement of the transformative power of RTT and affirmations. Marisa underscores the importance of self-acceptance and the profound changes that can ensue when individuals embrace the belief that they are inherently enough.
Marisa Peer [16:50]: "Confidence is reassuring. It's quite sexy. And neediness is the opposite of that."
Marisa Peer [03:11]: "If you feel you're not enough, you will need more. More food, more stuff. You know, the emptiness inside comes from this not enoughness."
Marisa Peer [04:50]: "Start to not just say it, but state it, affirm it, embody it. I'm enough. I'm enough. I'm enough. Repeat it, repeat it, repeat it."
Marisa Peer [12:40]: "Quantum physics says if I change my thoughts, I change my energy, I change my vibrations, then it change. I can change not just me, but I can change my relationship with you."
Marisa Peer [15:30]: "One of the saddest things is how we try to make someone else's story our story."
This episode serves as a compelling exploration of mental health transformation through RTT and the power of affirmations. Marisa Peer offers both theoretical insights and practical tools, making the concepts accessible and actionable for listeners seeking personal growth and emotional well-being.
