  • Rewriting Your Blueprint: Tony Robbins' Route To Your Date With Destiny
    Jan 30 2026
    In this power-packed episode, we go behind the scenes of Tony Robbins’ renowned "Date with Destiny" event to explore how our internal values and rules dictate our reality. From categorising "Toward" and "Away" values to auditing the rigid rules we set for our own success, this discussion challenges you to design a life by choice rather than by default. We also dive into the "Relationship Pyramid" and the psychological nuances between masculine and feminine energies, providing a roadmap for creating deeper intimacy and more fulfilling connections in every area of life. You’ll Learn Why: Your "Toward" and "Away" values are the invisible drivers of your behaviour, and how ranking them can reveal why you feel fulfilled or frustrated. Setting rigid rules for success can lead to constant unhappiness, and why your values should be easy to achieve every single day while your goals remain a stretch. The "Relationship Pyramid" is the secret to moving from a roommate dynamic to being fans of your partner through anticipation and fulfilment of needs. Understanding the psychological "Nothing Box" and "Connected Wire" brains can bridge the communication gap between masculine and feminine energies.

  • A Tony Robbin's Masterclass On Designing Your Extraordinary Life
    Jan 23 2026
    After spending an intensive six-day immersion with the master of personal development, Tony Robbins, Jeannette shares the foundational strategies for shifting your mindset and scaling your business. She dives into the "Triad" of emotional influence—Physiology, Focus, and Language—and explores how to effectively audit your life by identifying what’s missing and what’s holding you back. From the five universal "Givens" of life to the six core human needs that drive every decision, this incredible session provides a high-level roadmap to move you from living by chance to living by design. You’ll Learn Why: Self-auditing is the vital first step toward personal growth, requiring an honest assessment of what is great in your life versus what is missing. Understanding the six human needs—certainty, uncertainty, significance, connection, growth, and contribution—is key to recognising the subconscious drivers behind your behaviours. Accepting the five "Givens" of life, such as the fact that everything ends and life isn't always fair, builds the resilience needed to handle setbacks. Mastering the "Triad" (Physiology, Focus, and Language) allows you to instantly shift your emotional state and change how you interpret life events. Redefining your "Primary Question" can move you from a state of constant self-judgment to a mindset focused on empowerment and contribution.
