Her doctor asked what she was doing differently after five years of poor wound healing.
This episode is part of the Transformational Interview Series on The Jim Fortin Podcast, featuring Sally McMurray, a student in the Transformational Coaching Program (TCP). Jim introduces the episode by highlighting Sally's story as an example of overcoming health, money, and relationship issues. Sally explains she was diagnosed with Crohn's disease over 40 years ago, which is stress-triggered and caused pain, lethargy, and impacted her marriage and business launch. When she enrolled in TCP, she describes herself as a 'red hot mess' resigned to a lifetime of Crohn's. Through TCP, she learned self-hypnosis to still her mind, allowing her body to heal; her doctor noted significant improvement in her wound healing after five years. Sally discusses her marital issues, revealing her husband gave an ultimatum about fixing her head, which she initially dismissed. In TCP, she had an epiphany about being a control freak, which had caused friction in her marriage by dismissing her husband's suggestions. She learned to be more open and calm, improving their relationship to where they now have fun together. Financially, Sally had anxiety from her accounting background and inability to forecast income in her business, but she learned to let go, which also benefited her health. She shares her identity struggle, moving from a fraud investigator to selling jewelry, and the importance of treating her business as a career, not a hobby. Key TCP modules mentioned include values, identity, and responsibility. Sally emphasizes that she couldn't have done this alone, praising the TCP community's support. Jim and Sally discuss the concept of being a 'polished rock' and letting go of heaviness to achieve freedom. The episode ends with Sally promoting her jewelry business, Luxe Auctions, which offers high-quality pieces at reduced prices by cutting out middlemen.
