Trish Blackwell’s seven-day program, the Emerge Experience, added to my self-confidence building skills. The most important takeaways for me were that confidence is a choice, I am not what other people say I am; those were limiting identifiers, and that insecurity doesn’t go away; I will need to be intentional in claiming my own mindset. My “cup of coffee” with Trish over those seven days allowed me to slow down and clarified my thinking.

I began listening to Trish’s podcasts 3 months ago thanks to a dear friend leading me to them. I was in a dark place and needed a change. Trish’s podcasts were (and are) a breath of fresh air. I decided to do the Emerge program as the next step after listening to several podcasts. The Emerge Experience is life changing! I like the simple format of Detoxify, Define, and Dare. I like the morning routine of doing simple exercises. I still have all the materials that Trish sends each day and go back to them repeatedly. This is a program that is so easy to use and yet is very effective! I am a firm believer that this program is a must for anyone who wants to change their way of thinking, their attitude, and their life. I am so thankful to Trish for making my life better by giving me the tools I need to change the way I think and become more confident.

Through the Emerge Experience I learned that I have more strength than I realized, and that I shouldn’t be so hard on myself for not making changes immediately. I have to think of my thought process as a muscle that needs to be continuously strengthened every day in order for it to get strong. I really enjoyed the motivational daily quotes and the challenges! They kept things moving and flowing in the right direction! I would absolutely recommend this experience others!

As an avid over-analyzer, I am apt to feel somewhat inundated by social media as I scroll through Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, you name it throughout the day. Before taking part of this cleanse, the Emerge Experience, I thought it was almost an obligation or a need of being part of society to always be plugged in to some outlet. However silly it sounds, I was convinced that if I didn’t know the latest and greatest news, I would be out of the loop and somehow missing out. After completing this cleanse, I have emerged with a revitalized perspective. I can choose to take part in the daily stream of updates, as well as viewing other’s updates, or I can choose not to! What a simplistic yet astounding concept. Confidence and affirmation doesn’t have to come from comparing your actions and events in your life to that of other’s–it can come and should come entirely from within yourself and your own personal goals. I didn’t have to care what my peers or celebrities were doing at all. My life is my own and independent of their influence, but I have to CHOOSE to detoxify it and allow it to be.

I have to share my favorite experience I had throughout my 7-day Emerge Experience. It just so happens that I am in mid-preparation for my very first bikini competition when Trish asked me to be a part of this 7-day Emerge Experience. I was on my way to a friend’s figure competition this day and the “Dare” in place for me could not have been more appropriate!! My dare for the day was to mark my hand with a Sharpie every time I found myself cluttering my mind with comparisons. She stated that sometimes we are so used to doing something that we don’t even notice just how often we do it. Tracking how frequently I allowed my mind to launch into the clutter of comparison was shocking. It was not easy. I had to be completely honest with myself. After about 3 or 4 marks I wanted to stop and say, ok that one doesn’t count, I wasn’t really comparing myself that time. But, I didn’t. I had to truly make myself aware. As Trish states, “Awareness is the door that opens our potential for change.” What an awesome experience I had that day! I left the figure competition that day feeling overwhelmed with self-love and self-acceptance! I became aware and therefore was able to overcome all of those comparisons I had let clutter my mind. I am on track and headstrong for my upcoming competition because of that one little dare!!

I learned a lot about myself during the Emerge Experience. The exercises, coaching and daily quotes were very helpful in quieting down the inner critic. I will be using these tools on a regular basis. It was a nice kick-start to an ongoing pursuit of authentic, courageous and confident living! Thank you so much!

Trish’s podcasts have helped me tremendously but when life has its ups and downs, your mind may wander, drift and cause clutter in our mind. Trish’s 7-day Emerge Experience helped me clean out my mental “gunk”, wipe my mental windows clear to see the world and myself with a clearer perspective. The experience of this program helped me recognize that I need to and will make the decision every day, hour and minute to live confidently in a positive manner, know that I am of worth and to be proactive. The 7-day Emerge Experience brought me back to “reality”. The “reality” is that we cannot just think our mind or our thoughts will take care of themselves, it does take work, practice and it’s not easy but we are worth it. The detox helped me recognize that I need to constantly be proactive filling my mind with realistic positivity and love, filter my thoughts and attentively be aware of what I am telling myself. The 7-day Emerge Experience also reminded me of who I am and what I am NOT (the lies that I was telling myself). This detox will definitely be kept on hand and revisited on a regular basis. My life’s journey will have its twists and turns and unwanted thoughts will seep through my mental filter causing “gunk” to fog my windows, but this detox is an incredibly useful tool that I will use to mentally clean up and to continue to become the best version of myself.

Listening to Trish and her weekly podcasts always left me with positive feelings and motivation. I started to recognize how negative and self-doubting thoughts continued to cloud my thoughts and I knew I had more work to do. The opportunity to take the 7-day Emerge Experience was a great solution for me. The program is efficient and effective. The mental exercises exposed the roots of my self-destructive thoughts. Trish gave me new ways to appreciate and celebrate myself. I no longer choose to participate in the comparison game. Instead I appreciate others gifts and know I have my own unique gifts to share. We all deserve to live a joyous life and share our best selves with others. Give yourself and others the gift of this Emerge Experience!

From the very first moment I began the Emerge Experience I felt like I had an angel on my shoulder. Trish Blackwell was that angel telling me to hold my head high, believe in myself, and fight through the pain. Through the three steps of the program “Detoxify, Define, and Dare” I was able to address the challenging thoughts in my mind, be inspired by a change in my thoughts, and discover my newfound confidence through action. I never felt that I was just pushing negative things under the rug. Instead, I was learning to identify them, purge them through writing, and, ultimately, see all that was beautiful about myself. The physical writing and activities involved with the cleanse did not take much time to complete, but the positive thoughts and actions stuck with me through out the day. Trish’s passion for helping others gain confidence in themselves is evident in all of the emails, podcasts, quotes, and materials she shares with you. The lessons I learned through her and this program are invaluable.

I love this program! I am going to re-start it again this Sunday because even though I went through it this week there was a lot of turmoil with my family this week and I am excited to see how deep I can get. I learned that I compare myself to others much more than I thought I did. I knew it was always there but I really saw how much I still do it even though I have been doing self-work. I loved how this program got me back into writing and listening to positive affirmations, quotes and information in short segments daily which made it do-able. This also sparked many ideas for future blogs. I wouldn’t change anything about this Emerge Experience!

By the end of the 7-day Emerge Experience, Trish helped me to reset my confidence, self-talk and motivation. Doing this not only made me feel better about myself, but taking the 15 minutes a day to focus my energy inward made a massive impact in my work as a trainer and endurance coach in my ability to have better focus on my athletes. This program helped me realize how much potential my thought life has and that merely 15 minutes for myself every day makes me 100% more effective and productive in all aspects of my life.
