Start Your Transformation Now  In this episode of The Jim Fortin Podcast, Jim invites listeners to look beyond the noise of global division and fear to discover what it truly means to be the solution instead of adding to the chaos. He explores how humanity’s turmoil stems from low-frequency emotions like fear, control, and ego—and how conscious awareness and self-mastery can elevate both the individual and collective vibration.  Jim shares how old societal structures are collapsing, why that’s not a crisis but a sign of evolution, and how each of us has a role to play in guiding humanity into higher consciousness. Through stories from his mentors, like Don Javier and Akio Matsumura, he illustrates that self-awareness, empathy, and frequency management are not spiritual luxuries—they are responsibilities for those who came here to lead and heal.  If you’re ready to stop reacting to fear and start leading with awareness, this episode will show you how to become a stabilizing force in a chaotic world—and a light for others who have forgotten who they are.  What You’ll Discover in This Episode:  Why chaos dominates our world (02:10) Jim explains how fear and division feed off each other and why humanity’s turmoil is an invitation to evolve, not a punishment.  Becoming the stabilizer (06:22) You are here to bring calm to confusion—Jim shares why leadership begins with mastering your own emotions and frequency.  Seeing through another’s eyes (12:45) The powerful lesson from diplomat Akio Matsumura that transformed how Jim views empathy, politics, and healing global divisions.  The physics of frequency (18:30) How thought creates emotion, emotion creates vibration, and vibration determines your frequency—and the free resource that helps you shift it.  Why you chose to be here now (24:11) Jim reveals why you incarnated in this turbulent time and how to fulfill your role as a light worker and healer on the planet.  Listen, apply, and enjoy!  Transformational Takeaway  You came to this planet not to drown in chaos, but to calm it. Every moment you choose peace over fear, awareness over reaction, and love over division, you raise the collective frequency of humanity. Being the solution begins with self-awareness—knowing that your vibration shapes the world around you. When you master your inner world, you automatically become the lighthouse others seek in the storm.    Let’s Connect:  Instagram | Facebook | YouTube | LinkedIn  LIKED THE EPISODE?  If you're the kind of person who likes to help others, then share this with your friends and family.

Most people think success in life is mental, and it’s not just that …it's biological or rather, neurological. Honestly, I’ve already created an episode on habits (neurological), however, I wanted to put a spin on it in this episode. Being 100% upfront, I’m passing through a nasty cold and hosting a house full of people for family vacation – 8 adults, 2 toddlers and 4 dogs, so my attention span is shot. However, I do talk a bit about habits in this episode and I make a recommendation about how to reprogram your habits. You don’t get what you want in life, you get your habits and it’s VITAL that you learn to reprogram your subconscious mind and your habits. I direct you in this episode on how you can do that.

Start Your Transformation Now  In this thought-provoking episode, Jim sits down with Emma Dunwoody, a world-renowned Human Design expert, behavioral coach, and author of Human Design Made Simple. Emma shares how Human Design goes beyond traditional personality tests like Myers-Briggs and Enneagram, offering an energetic blueprint that reveals your authenticity, purpose, and how you’re designed to thrive in relationships, business, and life.  Emma breaks down the origins of Human Design, why so many people struggle with strategies that don’t work for them, and how understanding your design helps you release conditioning, honor your energy, and step into sovereignty. Through personal stories and insights, she shows how Human Design can transform everything—from relationships to decision-making—by shifting from the head to the body and uncovering your unique strategy and authority.  If you’ve ever felt stuck trying to “fix yourself,” exhausted by running other people’s strategies, or searching for clarity in relationships and purpose, this episode will give you a roadmap to your authentic self.  What You’ll Discover in This Episode:  What Human Design Really Is (01:19) Emma explains how Human Design differs from traditional personality tests and why it’s the energetic roadmap to authenticity.  The Five Human Design Types (07:32) Discover the roles of Manifestors, Generators, Manifesting Generators, Projectors, and Reflectors—and what they mean for your energy and life path.  How Conditioning Shapes (and Limits) Us (12:50) Why we take on other people’s energy and conditioning, and how Human Design helps you separate what’s truly yours from what isn’t.  Relationships and Human Design (16:27) How knowing your design—and your partner’s—can transform conflict, connection, and compatibility in relationships.  The Power of Undefined Centers (22:57) How “open spaces” in your chart reveal conditioning, trauma bonding, and why we repeat painful patterns until we decondition them.  Applying Human Design to Everyday Life (30:01) From relationships to decision-making, how Human Design provides sovereignty and clarity in navigating life.  Listen, apply, and enjoy!  Transformational Takeaway  True transformation isn’t about fixing yourself—it’s about remembering who you already are. As Emma shares, Human Design gives you permission to step out of conditioning, stop running other people’s strategies, and embody your authentic energy. When you align with your design, you gain sovereignty, clarity, and the freedom to live your potential.  Mentioned Resources: https://www.emmadunwoody.com/ https://www.instagram.com/the_human_design_coach/ https://www.emmadunwoody.com/maggie Let’s Connect:  Instagram | Facebook | YouTube | LinkedIn  LIKED THE EPISODE?  If you're the kind of person who likes to help others, then share this with your friends and family.

Start Your Transformation Now  In this episode of the Transform Your Life from the Inside Out podcast, Jim Fortin challenges one of the most widely accepted self-help mantras: that belief is the foundation for manifestation. Drawing from ancient wisdom, his own personal breakthroughs, and universal energy principles, Jim explains why belief isn't the source of your power—it’s intention. He shares the key reasons why trying to "believe harder" can block your desires and how real manifestation begins with something deeper: clarity, surrender, and trust.  For anyone who’s exhausted by vision boards, affirmations, and the endless effort of “trying to believe,” this episode offers a radical and liberating truth: you are not the manifestor—the universe is. Jim breaks down how to stop interfering with your desires and start co-creating with universal energy by doing less and trusting more.  If you've been asking, “Why isn’t this working for me?”, this episode will flip your perspective and give you the clarity you need to finally allow your manifestations to unfold—without all the struggle.  What You’ll Discover in This Episode:  Why Belief Is Overrated in Manifestation (00:30) Jim dismantles the "you must believe" myth and explains why belief is a product—not a requirement—of manifestation.  The Simple 3-Step Manifestation Formula (09:45) Set the intention. Release it. Let the universe do its job. That’s it.  How Trying Too Hard Blocks You (13:30) Jim reveals how effort, force, and "working on it" create resistance—and how ease accelerates manifestation.  You're Not the Manifestor—You're the Medium (17:50) Learn how manifestation really works: you project, the universe manifests.  Why Attachment Destroys Creation (26:30) Jim shares how digging up the seed of intention every day keeps it from growing—and what to do instead.  The FedEx Analogy That Changes Everything (33:00) Trust that the universe will deliver, just like you trust a package will arrive after you send it.  Listen, apply, and enjoy!  Transformational Takeaway  You are not here to manifest through effort—you’re here to manifest through clarity and trust. Your only job is to set a crystal-clear intention and know that it's already done. Let the universe take care of the rest. Just like you don't worry after dropping off a FedEx package, you must trust your desires are already on the way. The more you force, the more you delay. So stop trying, start trusting, and remember: manifestation is the universe’s job—not yours.    Let’s Connect:  Instagram | Facebook | YouTube | LinkedIn  LIKED THE EPISODE?  If you're the kind of person who likes to help others, then share this with your friends and family.

Start Your Transformation Now⁠  Nic was a recent student of mine and we visit about his transformational path and how much he has changed in the last six months and how you can too. This episode is near impossible to title as we talked about so much. The primary things we talked about are: subconscious values, self-talk, subconscious habits and choice. And, a whole lot more but this gives you an idea of the treasures in this episode. As you’ll hear, Nic thought he had life “dialed in” and thought he had it all together until we worked together and he quickly discovered that he was working at a small percentage of his ability. An amazing story he shared and this applies to many, many people is that even though he had his life “all together” he was struggling with why he could never get to the next level in life. He reveals his huge “ah-ha” moments with me and I’m certain this will apply to many people. As stated in the headline, we dive deep into his realization of how his subconscious values were driving him, and yet he did not know it. This will be a huge and eye-opening segment for you listening. Another key takeaway is the importance of “inner-outer alignment” and how he’s used this to better align his entire life. Candidly, there is a ton in this episode and there will be pretty much something for everyone so give it a listen and enjoy!

Start Your Transformation Now  In this episode of the Transform Your Life from the Inside Out podcast, Jim Fortin reveals a trait that rarely makes the “top 20 lists” of success skills but is, in reality, a game-changer: resourcefulness. Through powerful stories—from Tom Hanks’ Castaway to entrepreneurs like Steve Jobs, Jeff Bezos, and Susie Batiz—Jim shows how resourcefulness, not resources, is what separates those who thrive from those who stay stuck.  Many people wait for the “perfect time” or for more money, connections, or opportunities to arrive. Jim challenges that mindset by making it clear: your life doesn’t change when you get more resources; it changes when you choose to become more resourceful. Fear, excuses, and victimhood hold us back, but resourcefulness makes growth inevitable.  If you’ve ever felt like you don’t have what it takes to move forward, this episode will give you the clarity and inspiration to figure it out, break free from resignation, and finally create what you want.  What You’ll Discover in This Episode:  Why Resourcefulness Matters More Than Resources (06:17) Jim defines resourcefulness and explains why it is the foundation of real success.  Stories of Resourceful Entrepreneurs (08:00) How companies like Apple, Amazon, Subway, and Ring started with almost nothing but became billion-dollar brands.  The Role of Fear and Victim Mentality (14:29) Why fear keeps you powerless and why shifting to resourcefulness transforms everything.  Settling vs. Creating (18:00) How “agreeing” to your circumstances keeps you stuck—and how to stop settling.  The Subconscious Mind as a Tool (21:00) How engaging your subconscious mind can unlock answers and creative solutions.  Resourcefulness in Action (22:00) Jim’s personal stories of becoming resourceful to create multimillion-dollar outcomes.  Listen, apply, and enjoy!  Transformational Takeaway  Resourcefulness is more important than resources. If you want more in life, you must figure it out, get creative, and choose action over excuses. If you refuse to become resourceful, you are in silent agreement with your current reality. The truth stings, but freedom comes when you own it—and then act.    Let’s Connect:  Instagram | Facebook | YouTube | LinkedIn  LIKED THE EPISODE?  If you're the kind of person who likes to help others, then share this with your friends and family.
