It’s Been A Wild Ride

Mind training for transformation has never felt more real than it does right now. And before I go on vacation, I wanted to give you all an update on what’s going on in my life and what’s happening with HELPINGS.

Yesterday, I finished my first-ever online course pre-launch for the HELPINGS Foundational Mind Training Course, and 90 new students enrolled!

I’m super excited and deeply grateful.

I know what this work can do.

I know the kind of impact you can create by working with your mind.

And I can’t wait to see what you all experience as you learn how to train your mind in practice.

Frankly, I’ve seen it all this year.

I know I keep saying that in my YouTube videos, but this year has really been wild – on so many levels.

What Mind Training for Transformation Has Taught Me

I’ve learned so much.
I’ve talked to so many people.
I’ve seen things I didn’t even know were possible.
And yet, deep down, I do know that anything is possible.
Because that lies at the heart of mind training for transformation.

Whatever you’re seeing and looking at is an illusion.

And if it’s an illusion, then it can also be changed.

That’s the good news.

The bad news is…we’re all completely enamored by so-called reality.

What meets the eye feels so real. And it feels scary and daunting to give up the hard-held beliefs we’ve clung to for so long, or even just consider that we’re not seeing the whole truth. That realization – or just opening yourself to the possibility – takes time, because the mind gets scared.

Facing Fear and Doing Things Differently

Everyone knows exactly what I mean.

We’ve spent our entire lives in a constant state of mindlessness: fighting our own minds and actively trying to escape them.

And if you’re one of the 90 beautiful beings who signed up for the course, then you’re already in the process of doing things differently. More importantly, you’re thinking differently.

That’s the beginning of mind training for transformation.

Why the Basics Matter More Than You Think

Everything I teach in the Foundational Course is practical.

Yes, I merge tools and techniques with theory, but let me say this clearly: you cannot move on to more advanced mind training techniques until you’ve practiced the basics thoroughly.

I know this because I’ve run a private mind training community for the last 18 months – a beautiful, mixed group of people from all walks of life, with all kinds of problems and illnesses.

They joined at different times. They left at different times.

It was a bit chaotic at first, people were at very different levels in their understanding of the mind. Some were more ready than others. Some were more willing than others.

After about eight months of teaching people at all levels in the same space, I started feeling the discord. That’s when I began dreaming up a better structure – one where beginners could be beginners without pressure, and where more advanced students could be in a space that matched their readiness.

Building a Better Path for Mind Training

A space where people get it.
Where they want to practice.
Where they’re not afraid of asking the hard questions or getting their hands dirty.

That’s why I created the Foundational Course, and why the Intermediate Course is coming next.

Different levels.
Kind.
Gentle.
Effective.

That’s what I’m building right now. And yes, my hands are full – but I love this work.

This is what mind training for transformation looks like in real life.

Made With Love (and a Lot of Late Nights)

Everything you see in the Foundational Course was made by me.

Everything except the little animated HELPINGS intro clip at the start of each training video (that’s a 7-second animation made by a developer). Everything else is all me.

I created the funnels.
Scripted the videos.
Filmed the videos.
Built a YouTube/course studio.
Edited everything.
Wrote every email.
Designed all the visual materials.

That’s why it takes time.

And it’s going to take time to create the next course too.

The Real Work: Practice, Not Perfection

But that brings me back to the importance of practice.

You cannot take the next step unless you’ve practiced listening to your thoughts – and actually understand what that means.

That’s not a process you can rush.

You can’t force it.
You can’t will it into being.

It’s like peeling off the layers of an onion. You get to peel them when the time is right. When you’re ripe.

So while I’m away, I encourage you to go slowly. Many of you already are. I can see it and feel it.

Also – my Advanced students have learned that I often know what’s going on even without them telling me anything…meaning: it’s hard to fool me 😅

Apply what you’re learning. That’s what matters.

The course won’t do anything unless you actually use it.

What Mind Training for Transformation Actually Looks Like

It doesn’t take that many hours to watch all the videos, but applying what you learn, tweaking it, practicing it and using it throughout your day the way I teach it takes time.

That is mind training for transformation.

And that’s what you’re going to learn – with so much grace.

Flamingo Rings and Finland Vibes

Right now, I’m in Finland.

I was born and raised here in case you didn’t know.

I’ve got an inflatable flamingo ring with me. Yes, seriously!

And I’m switching off for a month to recharge after 18 full-on months of building HELPINGS.

A big part of mind training for transformation happens when you do nothing.
When you allow yourself to just be.
When you rest.
When you take naps.
When you read good books.
When you do things you truly enjoy.

I wouldn’t be a very good teacher if I didn’t practice what I preach. So that’s what I’m doing. And that’s what I’ve promised myself I’ll continue to do – every year, for longer stretches of time.

Because I want to serve this community in the best way I possibly can.

A Final Word From the Heart

I love what I do.

All of it.

Even the messy, uncomfortable parts – because they give me the opportunity to practice what I teach.

And that’s what this is all about.

So…

Thank you for reading.

Thank you for being here.

If you’re part of the community, welcome. I’m so happy to have you.

If you’re not, then I would love to welcome you into HELPINGS next time the doors are open.

Much love,
Stephanie
