“In my experience, I’ve always looked at the top level, being Behavior, as the first and foremost thing that we’re trying to change. And he (Mastin Kipp) argues that instead of focusing on behavior and trying to shift behavior, we should flip the script and then start with the Original Incident.” - Aidan Weinmann

Welcome back to another episode of Discover More. 

In this week’s episode, we reflect on our experience completing Mastin Kipps’ book, “Claim Your Power”

“Claim Your Power” is a 40-day journey, that helps readers identify and dissolve hidden traumas and discover their life’s purpose.

The book is a unique blend of psychology and spirituality and combines captivating storytelling with insightful writing prompts.

We share some of the most impactful prompts from the book, as well as a few of our biggest takeaways.

One of our biggest ideas from the book is the “Anatomy of Transformation Ladder, a framework that explains that path to transformation.

When it comes to change, we all look at behaviors first… how to lose 10 pounds, wake up earlier, stick to a healthy diet, etc.

Kipp explains that for true change to occur, we must flip the model on its head and, instead of looking at behaviors first, we must look at our Original Incident, or trauma that informed the beliefs, emotions, stories, and behaviors in our life.

From bottom to top: Original Incident, Beliefs, Emotions, Stories, Behaviors.

We also share and reflect on our favorite quotes from the book.

This was one of the most impactful books that we’ve ever read, so we highly recommend picking up a copy if you feel called.

We hope you enjoy this episode of Discover More with us.
