πŸ˜‚βœ¨ Could Spanx be the silent villain behind your anxiety? This week on Life of Love, Julie Hilsen welcomes Craig Meriwether, certified clinical hypnotherapist and founder of Arizona Integrative Hypnotherapy, for a hilariously enlightening dive into the hidden ways we sabotage our joy – sometimes by simply squeezing too tight into our shapewear! 🩲

Together, we explore:

  • Why breathing deeply could change your emotional destiny (yes, even during your morning toothbrushing routine 🦷)
  • How pretending to feel confident actually rewires your brain in just a few weeks 🧠✨
  • Why joy isn't a birthrightβ€”it's a daily practice, like brushing your teeth or feeding your dog
  • How tight jeans and Spanx can send your body into panic mode πŸ˜΅β€πŸ’«
  • The magic of the 3-2-1 Reset Hug Method to hack your brain for love, happiness, and calm πŸ€—πŸ’–
  • Why even the Dalai Lama still practices loving-kindness meditation daily (no, it’s not automatic even for him!)

🎧 Tune in for laughter, deep insights, high-consciousness humor, and some real talk about practicing emotional and spiritual health like you practice physical health β€” with commitment, compassion, and a little bit of silliness.

You are not entitled to joy β€” but you can absolutely create it! πŸ’₯πŸŒŽπŸ§˜β€β™€οΈ
