Ep.10 What Does "Release What No Longer Serves You" Actually Mean? Breaking Down Limiting Beliefs, Subconscious Programming and Real Change
In this episode of The Inner Alchemy Podcast, Alexis breaks down one of the most overused (and often misunderstood) phrases in the healing and spiritual world: “release what no longer serves you.”
But what does that actually mean in real life...especially when your nervous system is running old patterns you didn’t consciously choose?
With her background as a board-certified master clinical hypnotherapist, somatic coach, NLP practitioner, EFT and TIME Techniques master, Reiki Master Teacher, and life & success coach, Alexis unpacks what’s really happening beneath the surface of your thoughts, emotions, and repeated life patterns.
This episode explores how subconscious beliefs are formed in early childhood, how they shape your identity and lived experience, and why “just letting go” is rarely a conscious decision...but instead a deeply embodied process of reprogramming.
Alexis also shares her own lived experience of being in survival cycles, and how somatic healing and subconscious reprogramming became the turning point for change.
🔑 In This Episode, You’ll Learn:
What “release what no longer serves you” actually means in the subconscious mind
How limiting beliefs are formed (and why they feel so automatic)
Why your nervous system repeats familiar emotional patterns...even when they hurt
The role of the reticular activating system (RAS) in shaping your reality
Why awareness is the first true step of change
How somatic and subconscious work create lasting transformation
Why healing happens through connection and co-regulation
A simple “switch” practice to begin rewiring negative self-talk in real time
🧠 Key Takeaway
Real transformation isn’t about forcing yourself to “think positive.”
It’s about rewiring the subconscious patterns that your body and nervous system have been repeating for years...through awareness, repetition, safety, and devotion.
When you change the internal story, you change what your system is wired to see, expect, and create.
✨ Try This Practice
When you catch a limiting belief or negative thought loop, say:
“Switch.”
Then immediately follow it with a new, intentional belief that feels grounded and believable.
Example:
“I’m never going to get this right.”
→ Switch.
“I am learning how to do this in a way that works for me.”
The repetition creates a new neural pathway over time.
