Ilyse Soutine is an author, speaker, subconscious transformation coach and creator of The Subconscious Shift Method. Our subconscious dominates 95% of our behavior, and Ilyse helps entrepreneurs reprogram their limiting habits, thoughts and beliefs so that they thrive and fulfill what they were born to do in this world.

Ilyse helps online coaches and healers strengthen their business strategies as well as reprogram limiting subconscious beliefs that hold them back so they can get into FLOW and fulfill what they were born to contribute to this world. For Ilyse to do this work, she had to explore and heal her own trauma first. In this week’s episode, Ilyse shares her journey from severe depression and anxiety, to the thriving life she’s living now. Ilyse suffered from PTSD, severe depression, and anxiety for most of her life due to the extreme and severe trauma caused by violence she experienced as a child. Even when the attacks would subside, it was difficult for her to get out of bed. Her depression, fear, anxiety overwhelmed her to body to such a degree that she felt like a heavy weight and she just couldn’t budge.

Despite the challenging dark time, Ilyse felt a burning desire, a pull to fulfill her soul’s calling to do what she was born to do in this world. As Ilyse shares, ever since she was a little girl she knew that she was capable of doing great things in this world, and it was a journey for her to trust that voice inside. No matter what she was going through, this voice of greatness inside was always there tugging at her, gently guiding her forward.

Everything changed when Ilyse found meditation, a new practice, she felt expansive, and she felt hopeful for the future. As Ilyse so beautifully shares, it would have been impossible for her to have grown or evolved without the difficult times, and it’s those difficult times that have given her the greatest gifts that she now uses to serve others. When she was building her business, her subconscious beliefs were out of alignment with who she wanted to be in the world, and with what she was trying to create. As you’ll hear int his week’s new episode, nothing will change until one becomes in alignment with their subconscious beliefs and identity. After Ilyse uncovered her deepest limiting belief, she found her way out of her suffering, and today’s she’s helping others find their way out of suffering too. No matter what or how long you’ve suffered, Ilyse wants to make sure that you know that you also have the possibility of living a life filled with peace, joy, and abundance.

“I developed compassion for myself, and I had to forgive myself for all the decades lost to trauma. My self-compassion helped heal the intense shame I felt for not being able to do anything with my life for so long. I knew that all the answers I needed could be found within myself, and I learned that all the suffering I had been through was preparing me for where I was going and that path was to help others, and to serve humanity in a big way.”
