The Hilarious Hypnotist

Rather than do the covert hypnosis, like Traci does with most of her Hilarious Hypnotist sessions, she opted for traditional hypnosis due to the amount of baggage Lou Ann was carrying.  In this episode, we find out how Lou Ann did immediately after her hypnosis session, and tie up some of the loose ends. Episode Highlights: Lou Ann shares bits of her experience in the hypnosis session, including s...

A few weeks after her October 2022 session, Amy told Traci that she had been stockpiling her meds and had planned to overdose when her dog Sweet Pea passed.
