Today Michael welcomes Brad Yates. Brad is known internationally for his creative and often humorous use of Emotional Freedom Techniques, also known as EFT. He works with everyone from professional athletes, CEOs, clinicians, and actors, to people struggling with addiction, showing them how to overcome fear and stress, master their emotions, and improve their lives. Brad is co-author of the best-selling book, “Freedom at Your Fingertips” and penned the best-selling children's book, “The Wizard's Wish”. His YouTube channel has over 600 videos that have been viewed over 14 million times. And here’s a fun fact: Brad’s also a graduate of Ringling Bros. & Barnum & Bailey Clown College!
Highlights from Michael and Brad’s insightful conversation include:
-Brad’s transformation from aspiring Hollywood actor and clown college graduate to discovering his true calling in hypnotherapy and energy work
-How a simple experiment with chocolate cravings opened Brad’s eyes to the life-changing potential of tapping, and marked the beginning of his YouTube journey
-The science and history of EFT, from acupressure roots to regulating the amygdala and nervous system
-How early experiences shape lifelong fears and limitations, and how tapping helps dissolve those subconscious barriers
-Exploring unconscious resistance and cultural programming towards money, and using tapping to shift financial beliefs
-From chocolate to alcohol, how tapping helps address cravings by uncovering the emotional roots behind them
-The importance of compassion in the age of social media, and how tapping offers an immediate reset of emotional triggers
-A deep dive into how availability—not effort—is the key to abundance, and how resistance keeps us from seeing the opportunities already around us
-The inspiration behind Brad’s children’s book, The Wizard’s Wish, which teaches kids to see their fingers as “magic wands” for self-healing
-A reflection on self-love and how releasing resistance transforms self-perception and creates lasting change
Finally, Michael leads a closing meditation inviting us to release limiting perceptions, connect with Source and awaken to our true nature
