Are you struggling to break through your income ceiling despite working hard and attending countless seminars? In this eye-opening episode, I sit down with Dr. Noah St. John, known worldwide as the "Father of Afformations" ( with an “o”—to distinguish his approach from traditional affirmations). He found that classic affirmations like “I am confident” or “I am wealthy” often triggered resistance in the subconscious mind. If you don’t believe the statement, your brain basically replies, “Yeah, right.” So instead, he developed Afformations, which are empowering questions that assume the positive outcome is already true. For example: This subtle shift turns your brain into a kind of internal search engine, prompting it to look for reasons the statement could be true. He believes this method bypasses internal resistance and rewires limiting beliefs more effectively. So no—he doesn’t call them affirmations. He calls them Afformations, and he sees them as a breakthrough in personal development. Want to try crafting a few together? I’d be happy to help. and mental health coach to high-profile clients. Noah shares his remarkable journey from contemplating suicide to becoming a sought-after expert on personal development and financial success.
