Going on a spiritual journey involves all sorts of interesting facets. You learn about awareness, managing your attention, living in the present moment, and realizing that there are energies that influence our thoughts, actions, experiences, and perceptions of the world. Some people walk a little on the woo woo side in their journeys, and for all my practicality, I do too. I even work with a shama...

Today, I'm coming to you from Sedona, Arizona where I've wrapped up my Ultimate Alignment retreat.

So in this episode, I discuss some everyday tools to help you manage how you feel, show up in life, and connect with the energy within so th...

Can you think back to a time when you had to redo something or start over, and it turned out better than you could've ever imagined? I tried recording this interview with Ella Mae last week, but a case of the internet lag gremlins caught us in the middle of our conversation and caused us to reschedule it. I'm glad for the do-over, though, because despite a great discussion the first time around, t...

Imagine growing up in communist eastern Europe with an unflattering perspective about people in the west. Then as a teenager, you immigrate to the U.K. and suddenly your outlook gets turned around on its head. My guest Dessy Tslova has had to overcome culture, media, and so-called acceptable social norms from her native Bulgaria to be the creative entrepreneur she is today. She loves fashion and d...

Setting goals with a strategic plan of action to achieve them is part of designing your destiny. You're unlikely to succeed if you don't know where you're going or have a plan to get there.

You've heard me talk about comfort zones and growth before on this podcast. Today I want to expand a bit on last week's episode and talk specifically about identity. When you shed your old identity, it can bring about discomfort and emotion. You can feel out of sorts, even ungrounded. In this episode, I discuss identity upleveling and the uncertainty that arises as you shift into a new personal, p...

Taking on the journey to become a better version of you is never an easy path. If you have been on the verge of giving up and going back to where you started, let me tell you that the "new and improved you" is well worth the fight. There is no fast track to creating the life that suits you best, but you can learn to get on a steady habit of eliminating the elements that hinder your progress. If yo...

When you listen to those who light you up, they can teach you things. You learn how to do things better, more efficiently, and more thoroughly. But you also bring in past experiences to the table that reinforce beliefs preventing you from becoming who you desire. So I want to delve into this a little today and demonstrate why it's difficult to change into who you want to be when you're trying to d...

You might be surprised by the topic of today's episode. Clients come to me because they're prepared to eliminate unpleasant and uncomfortable thoughts and beliefs that cause them emotional discomfort. So why would I, a certified hypnotist, say that you can't eliminate all bad feelings with hypnosis? What's the point of hypnosis then? In this episode, I elaborate on why hypnosis isn't meant to get...

We've all been conditioned to use willpower to make a goal or a vision happen. Nike's famous slogan is a prime example. But willpower serves as a function of our present, conscious awareness which can only process so much information at once. If you try to use it while you're stressed, then your mind will prioritize safety and security over anything else first. So in this episode, I want to talk a...

There's a myth or misconception about how hypnosis works that I want to clear up. When you have certain expectations or make assumptions about the process, you may not get the results you want. But your free will to choose is one of the most powerful assets you have. So today, I want to talk about your free will and why it can prevent hypnotic suggestions from working for you. 2:58 - An example to...

I know from my nursing background that a predictable, stable environment is paramount to a child's sense of safety and security. But everything since the beginning of the pandemic has been a challenge. Even with things opening back up, it's created this perfect storm of desperation that has kids and adolescents in greater danger of suffering a mental health crisis. In recent weeks, I've received s...

Many people love getting end results fast. If you're seeking to resolve an issue even faster, you'll want to schedule a Subconscious Blueprint call with me. But what exactly is involved in the call? In this episode, I spend just a few minutes laying it all out for you so you'll know exactly what it is and can decide what to do next. 1:36 - What you need to do before getting on the Subconscious Blu...

I've noticed a pattern with some of my clients. They come to me in their mid 50s to early 60s with a specific goal around their career or business and just feel a lot of resistance to getting things done. Then in the process of working together, they end up changing their minds about what they really want. An exercise I did in a group coaching program provided me with some insight as to why this h...

But the speed of your results depends on what you want to achieve and what lies underneath the beliefs, habits, and behaviors preventing you from getting what you want.

What does perfectionism cost you in your business, relationships, and life in general? Over the years, I've chatted and worked with many people who, at some point in their lives, started feeling like whatever they did was never good enough. No matter how much they tried, even their best efforts didn't suffice in their eyes and they kept striving to get it perfect. Today, I want to talk about how p...

One of the most common questions I get is, "What's the difference between working one-on-one with you and doing group hypnosis or one-on-one with someone else?" It's a big question that needs some breaking down to keep my response short and digestible. So in this episode, I cover the benefits and limitations of each hypnosis technique and what you should look for to get the most out of your subcon...

But for the past 20 years, she's been on a personal journey of self-development. In this episode, we talk a...

How often do you make choices with your life involving your work, family, or just life in general that allow you to avoid self-criticism? When you avoid self-criticism, you're allowing your past beliefs and experiences to drive future decisions. This isn't about looking for past or possible future mistakes or lifting up rocks to find reasons to criticize yourself. But avoiding self-criticism can q...
