The Antidote to Affirmations

How to Ask Better Questions for Real Change

We’ve all tried them — affirmations.

“I am abundant.” “I am radiant.” “I am calm.”

But what happens when those words just… don’t land? When your brain (and your body) roll their eyes and whisper, “yeah, right.”

In this episode, Kate Garland — midlife reinvention coach, intuitive guide, and nervous system mentor — cracks open the science and soul behind why traditional affirmations often fail and introduces you to their powerful upgrade: afformations.

Afformations (coined by Noah St. John) flip the script — turning your statements into questions that work with your brain and body, not against them. The result? Less resistance, more curiosity, and a nervous system that finally says yes.

🌙 Inside this episode:

Why your subconscious doesn’t believe your affirmations — and what neuroscience reveals about self-talk, mirror neurons, and nervous system congruence
The hidden link between manifestation and embodiment (and why your body always tells the truth)
How a single word — afformations — pulled Kate out of a “deep existential funk” during eclipse season
The brain’s built-in search engine (your reticular activating system) and how to activate it with better questions
The ancient spiritual roots of inquiry in Yoga, Buddhism, Christianity, Sufism, Kabbalah, and Toltec wisdom — all pointing to one truth: transformation starts with curiosity
Why women in midlife especially need circles of safety, belonging, and shared inquiry to anchor real change
Five powerful “swap this for that” afformations you can try today
