What if the struggles people face in their lives, whether in relationships, finances, or personal fulfillment aren’t due to a lack of effort, but instead deeply rooted subconscious programming?

In this powerful episode of Manders Mindset, host Amanda Russo sits down with Dr. Joseph, also known as Joey, a rapid growth specialist and creator of the SMT Method. With decades of experience studying human behavior and transformation, Dr. Joseph shares his journey from living in cycles of struggle, self-doubt, and people-pleasing to uncovering the profound role the subconscious mind plays in shaping reality.

Together, Amanda and Dr. Joseph explore how limiting beliefs are formed, why so many people feel stuck despite doing “all the right things,” and what it truly takes to create lasting change. Through personal stories, client breakthroughs, and deep insights, this conversation sheds light on how shifting subconscious programming... not just surface-level habits can unlock a completely different way of living.
