The Frequency of Belief: What Are Your Beliefs & Why They Matter
Welcome to The Freq Show
Belief is powerful. It doesn’t just change outcomes — it changes people. That truth became the heartbeat behind Jaclyn and Sam Thurmond’s newest creation: The Freq Show.
This podcast didn’t appear overnight. It was born from years of late-night conversations, long walks under Georgia skies, and countless moments of vision casting between the two of them. Again and again, the same phrase returned to Jaclyn’s heart: the frequency of belief.
It wasn’t just an idea. It was the way they were choosing to live their lives — and now, the message they felt called to share.
Why They Started This Podcast
On the outside, Jaclyn and Sam’s life may look like a dream. Not because of luxury or material success, but because of something far more meaningful:
They get to work together every day — and they truly enjoy it.
Their little boy brings joy and laughter into their home.
They are surrounded by a circle of deep friendships and supportive family.
They love where they live and the rhythm they’ve created.
But none of this happened by accident. It was built with intention.
That’s why The Freq Show exists: to share the tools, stories, and lessons that helped them create a life aligned with what truly matters. It’s not about perfection. It’s about honesty. They’ve walked through mistakes, doubts, and detours. But they’ve also learned that when belief leads the way, it changes everything.
What Are Your Beliefs?
At its simplest, beliefs are the quiet sentences we carry about ourselves, others, and the world. They act like filters, coloring how we interpret experiences, how we react to challenges, and even how we define success.
Jaclyn and Sam often talk about core beliefs — the deep truths that anchor how a person lives — and how those shape everything from relationships to career choices. Some beliefs are inherited, passed down like heirlooms from family or culture. Others are forged through personal experiences, trial and error, or moments of awakening.
The invitation is to pause and ask: What are your personal beliefs? Do they serve the life you want to create? Or do they keep you small, weighed down, and misaligned?
This isn’t about judgment. It’s about awareness. Because once someone names their set of beliefs, they can begin to choose them consciously rather than living on autopilot.
Belief In Your Dreams
Dreams are fragile at first. They need belief to breathe life into them. Without belief, dreams wither before they have the chance to take root.
Here are a few truths Jaclyn and Sam have learned about holding belief in your dreams:
Start small, but stay consistent. Belief doesn’t always look like a giant leap. Sometimes it’s a tiny step — sending the email, signing up for the class, or sharing the idea aloud. These small moves build momentum.
Protect your vision. Not everyone will understand your dream. And that’s okay. Surround yourself with people who remind you of what’s possible rather than magnifying your doubts.
See it before you see it. Visualization isn’t wishful thinking. It’s aligning your actions with the reality you’re building. Athletes, artists, and entrepreneurs all use this practice.
Anchor your dream to purpose. The dream that lasts is the one connected to meaning. Ask: Who does this dream serve? What is the deeper why? That sense of purpose will sustain belief when challenges arise.
Belief in your dreams isn’t naïve. It’s necessary. Without it, achieving the goal feels impossible. With it, even the biggest “stretch goals” become possible finish lines.
Beliefs And Attitudes That Affect Our Understanding
Beliefs don’t exist in a vacuum. They shape attitudes, which in turn shape perception. The way someone interprets failure, risk, or success often reveals their underlying set of beliefs.
Scarcity vs. abundance. A scarcity mindset whispers, there’s not enough — not enough time, not enough money, not enough opportunities. An abundance mindset believes possibility exists and adapts with resilience.
Fixed vs. growth. A fixed mindset says, I am what I am. A growth mindset says, I can learn, change, and expand.
Fear vs. courage. Fear paralyzes, keeping someone stuck. Courage moves forward in spite of fear, trusting that even missteps can bring wisdom.
Jaclyn and Sam often remind listeners that belief is a choice. Attitudes follow that choice. When someone shifts their beliefs, they often find themselves seeing opportunities where they once only saw obstacles.
What Is the Frequency of Belief?
The phrase “frequency of belief” first came to Jaclyn in the stillness of the night. She describes it as a gift from God — words that struck deep into her spirit.
At its core, it means living in a way that’s fueled by belief rather than held back by fear.
It’s an active belief, not just a passive hope.
It’s choosing to move forward even when fear and self-doubt whisper loudly.
It’s living on offense, trusting that abundance and opportunity exist even in the face of adversity.
When someone tunes their life to the frequency of belief, they begin to act differently. They record the podcast, launch the business, or write the book — even when they feel unqualified. Without belief, the same dream can stall before it even begins.
Lessons From Their Own Journeys
Jaclyn knows firsthand what it feels like to live out of alignment with belief. During her music career, she loved creating, but she struggled to fully step into self-promotion. Deep down, she was waiting for someone else to validate her instead of fully believing in herself.
Sam’s story looks different but carries the same thread. In college football and later in business, he leaned on partnerships for security rather than believing in his own vision and ability. It wasn’t until later that he realized true alignment begins internally.
These experiences weren’t wasted. They became the soil that grew their commitment to living differently — on the frequency of belief.
Living With and Without Belief
The difference is stark.
Someone operating from belief doesn’t wait for conditions to be perfect. They create, they act, they release their work into the world. Someone operating from doubt hesitates. They let discouraging voices win. They hold back, waiting for approval or certainty that never comes.
The same principle applies to finances, relationships, or business ventures. Belief leads to expansion. Doubt shrinks possibilities.
Belief is the turning point.
Why Belief Changes Everything
When life throws obstacles — illness, financial pressure, discouragement — the default response is often panic or retreat. But on the frequency of belief, challenges shift. They no longer become stop signs but invitations.
Instead of spiraling in doubt, belief asks, What else is possible here?
That shift in perspective doesn’t just change outcomes. It transforms who a person becomes in the process.
Final Thought: An Invitation
For Jaclyn and Sam, The Freq Show is more than a podcast. It’s an invitation. A chance for others to step into the same freedom they’ve found by living aligned with belief.
Their hope is simple: that those who listen or read along will feel empowered to face their fears, trust their vision, and take the next aligned step — no matter how small.
Because living on the frequency of belief doesn’t belong to a select few. It’s available to everyone.
Live on purpose. Live on frequency.
