Darlene Hertz on Mindset, Choice and Limiting Beliefs | According to Jayma and Nikki

Darlene Hertz joins According to Jayma and Nikki for a conversation about how language, early programming and emotional patterns can shape business decisions, self-worth, money beliefs and relationships. Recorded in the RiverBender studio in downtown Alton, the discussion examines why people repeat familiar cycles and how intentional choices can support personal and professional growth.

Hertz explains neuro-linguistic programming, the influence of childhood imprint years and the tension between conscious goals and unconscious beliefs. She also shares her path from a difficult work environment to coaching and entrepreneurship, including lessons learned from undervaluing her work and struggling to hold onto business revenue.

The episode also explores comparison, fight-or-flight responses, the distinction between therapy and coaching, and the shift from seeking work-life balance to creating harmony. The conversation offers practical context for entrepreneurs, sales professionals and business owners who feel stuck despite knowing they are capable of more.
