This Course is the good news. It teaches you how to build an Empowered Mind to meet the challenges of living more successfully in the world. In cutting edge neural biology, the brain can be understood as a community of rival emotional programs vying to take control of the Self. This course helps you to shape what emotional programs become the voice of the governing committee of the Mind.
There are many forces in the mind, and here you learn how to pull forward certain empowering emotional programs into working awareness. You actually learn how to awaken and nurture particular emotional programs that have pushed out of easy access to the working mind.
This is true power. You do not control outcome, but you can be taught how to control which emotional programs in the brain create the mind that you bring to the challenging moments of you life. This is what you can control - the mind you bring into the moment. This is a powerful, and necessary, skillset.
In this course you will find and develop the Discipline of a Ruler (the capacity to maintain order under pressure). The Courage of a Warrior (the capacity to turn toward your fears to master them). The self-compassion or self-soothing of a Caregiver (the ability of treating yourself with loving/kindness. And awaken the clarity of thought of a Age (clear thinking under pressure).
These are all emotional programs that come resident as part of your potential as a human being. In this Course, you will learn how to awaken and nurture these specific aspects of your emotional community so that they become the go-to emotions that arise when engaged in a challenging moment.
Things that You'll Do
You'll create a personal journal throughout this course to track your learning and progress. Alongside video lectures and a workbook companion, you'll explore three essential parts: how emotions create meaning, how to work with memory, and how to build symbolic representations of your empowered self.
Part 1: Emotion, Meaning, and Memory
You'll discover how your brain encodes experiences into emotional memories that automatically control how you respond to challenges. Through Memory Enrichment and Memory Consolidation practices, you'll learn to summon emotions like discipline, courage, self-soothing, and impartiality from past experiences—even ones your brain has forgotten. This becomes your foundation for handling uncertainty with strength instead of fear.
Part 2: Symbolic Representation and Archetypes
Using powerful symbols, you'll connect your enriched memories to archetypes—voices on your mind's "governing committee." You'll learn to manage both positive voices (like the Ruler, Warrior, Caregiver, and Sage) and negative ones (Inner Critic and Orphan) through guided meditations and journaling.
Part 3: Assembling Your Empowered Mind
In the final section, you'll bring together the heroic archetypes into a unified coalition—your Empowered Mind. Through the "Preparing the Mind for the Day" meditation, you'll practice activating all these empowered voices to lead your internal committee. You are no longer stuck with historical self-limiting adaptive responses to life's challenges. You become captain of your own Destiny.
What You'll Gain:
The practical skills to respond to life's uncertainties with intention rather than automatic reactions. You'll have a controllable mind that gives you an edge in life—the tools for lasting change that require your commitment to learn and practice.

Course Requirement: The Inherent Worth Course is the second course in the rest of Rande Howell Learning Systems' work. You must complete course 1 & 2 (Emotional Regulation & Mindfulness) before starting this course. Otherwise, you will not have the skill sets or knowledge necessary to claim your inheritance.
If you commit to this work, this course will change how you handle self-doubt and negative self-talk. You'll learn to identify the destructive voices in your head—the Inner Critic and Adapted Voice—that have been limiting your potential. By recognizing and separating from these patterns, you'll break free from beliefs that keep you playing small.
You'll recognize the two voices that hold you back: self-doubt and harsh self-criticism. Learning to spot these patterns is the first step to stopping them from controlling your choices.
Through guided work, you'll practice seeing these voices as programs running in your mind—not the real you. This distance helps you stop identifying with thoughts that limit your growth.
You'll discover why these voices developed and what they're trying to protect you from. This awareness removes their power and helps you respond differently.
By disengaging from shadow voices, you'll unlock hidden strengths and possibilities. You'll maintain emotional balance while facing parts of yourself you've avoided, opening doors to becoming your best self.
