I just got home from 4 days and over 70 hours at Unleash The Power Within. Tony Robbins‘ 4 day event, I supposed technically it’s 3.5, but the last day was 8am-10pm, so I’m going to count that as 4!
This was one of the most powerful immersion experiences I have ever been a part of. So I wanted to pop on here today and share my most valuable takeaways, however know this… these are incredible lessons to learn from, but there is nothing like being in the energy of 8,000+ people just like you who are open and ready to grow. If you haven’t invested in yourself, whether it is a live event, mastermind, or working with a coach; you are missing out on huge opportunities to massively grow!
The real you is no accident, it is about damn time you show up for her!
You don’t really know what you’re getting yourself into when you sign up for a live personal development event. I’ve been to several now and it is truly a leap into the unknown.You have to trust in the facilitator, trust in the investment, and most importantly trust in yourself to show up in full and be open for the work.
So here are 4 lessons, for 4 days spent at Unleash The Power Within…
Unleash The Power Within Lesson #1: Your Limits Are Lying
Like I said… 4 days, 70 hours, and no access to snacks on snacks on snacks.
There were days I had 3 hours of sleep, and you all, I am a sleeper… I like my 8 hours. I thought, there is no way I can stay up for this 12 hour day of jumping up and down and saying WOOHOO!
Guess what… I did and then some, and I felt more energized than ever before.
My limits were lying to me.
And I saw evidence of this again and again throughout the event. There were 80 year old women with just as much pep in their step as me, jumping up and down and having dance parties with the rest of us!
Every time you find yourself saying, I can’t do that…
Know that you can push so much harder than you think you can.
Unleash The Power Within Lesson #2:
Because behind those limits are…
FEAR.
I thought I had escaped fear… isn’t that funny? The girl who preaches the fear never goes away, thought she had escaped it. WOAH was I wrong.
We spend an entire day analyzing those fears that are behind the desires, but truthfully the first day was so powerful for me that I opened up and expanded out of those fears almost instantly. That is the power of space that inspires growth, friends.
I found out that when I was saying, “I’m too tired to do that right now…” I really meant – I don’t want people to hear the truth because I’m scared of the reaction.
And when I said, “No one wants to work with me…” I was really saying, Im scared that I don’t deserve the success I desire.
When you find yourself saying… I can’t because….
Find the fear that’s following close behind.
Because this I know for sure… You can choose your limits or you can choose your growth, no matter what.
I’ve seen people overcome the hardest, darkest, and worst limits you could ever imagine and I saw even more at this event. I know for sure that anyone can overcome, if they want to bad enough.
I’m not ignoring poverty and hardship in the world, for sure… but if you’re reading this blog on a device that connects you to the world… you likely have ore than you think you do.
Unleash The Power Within Lesson #3:
You Are POWERFUL, More Powerful Than You Even Know
So yeah, I walked on fire…
No big deal.
It’s just a new normal for me.
There was A LOT that this experience taught me, but above all else, it showed me I could truly do anything. I was terrified thinking about walking across fire, and yes it is real fire 1200-2000 degrees to be exact. And if I stayed in being terrified, I wouldn’t have walked.
That’s the thing about any fear though, if you stay in the fear you will not move. But if you choose the knowing that you are capable of anything at all, you will make the journey happen.
The mind is a powerful thing, and if it made up the fear, it can make the opposite true too.
If you’re wondering how you walk on fire, well first of all… Do not try this at home, go to UPW instead 😜
However here are the ingredients it took to walk the fire… literally and figuratively, use these steps to storm across whatever fire you have in your life.
1. Get your energy aligned with knowing you CAN do it instead of the idea that you can’t.
2. Do what it takes to keep your energy on this high: Move, jump, dance. Affirm to yourself over and over again you can, while embodying that feeling.
3. Don’t think – JUST GO. You may get to the point of action and completely freeze, that’s when you know it is time to push the limit. So, MOVE!
When You Know The Why, The How Will Show Up
Often times you halt action because you “don’t know how.”
So, because you don’t know how you decide you can’t… Procrastination wins.
But what if you didn’t need the how? What if you already knew how?
What if the real problem is, you don’t want it bad enough.
Google has made answers to ANY problem accessible in 0.2 seconds. The library (did you know that still exists?) is full of FREE resources, and mentors are ready to help you in any category.
Not knowing “how” is an invalid excuse, because if you want it bad enough… you’ll figure out how.
I didn’t know HOW to run a business, but I figured it out on the way.
I didn’t know HOW to move to another country, but I figured that out too.
When your why has heart your action has wings.
Get so inspired by your own HUGE WHY, that you won’t even have a question in your mind about how! You’ll figure it out on the way.
My energy is transformed.
My mission is expanded.
I can honestly say my life changed because of this event.
I will be back to Unleash the Power Within.
Freaking incredible!

Going to a Tony Robbins event has been on my wish list for a while. Honestly, so has Rachel Hollis and I missed out on a ticket to Rise Toronto by just minutes!
I actually had a big convo with my hubs about how I’m ready to uplevel my learning. I will still go to some of the big conferences and participate in online programs but I’m ready for more in depth, in person, small group or one on one experiences. I’m ready to be pushed outside my comfort zone.
Amazing!!! Super celebrating you Rebecca! Choosing in depth work is truly what has accelerated my growth and created a deep layer of inner peace. So good!!! It is a powerful choice to have support in comfort zone shifts too. Cannot wait to see what comes next for you, xx
Thanks gorgeous! I’m not sure where it’s going yet but its going to be EPIC
