First of all, I think I’m a bit of a hypno-geek at heart. I live, breathe, and speak hypnosis all the time. Honestly, my kids and my husband probably think there’s something wrong with me! But the truth is, this work lights me up. After more than 30 years, I still love driving to work just as much as I did on my very first day.
In this episode, I’m sharing how I work holistically with addiction clients—especially those wanting to break free from smoking, vaping, or other habits that have taken over their lives.
Because here’s the thing… addiction isn’t always what we think. Sure, it can be smoking or alcohol, but it can also be a mindset. A way of being. A story we’ve carried since we were seven years old, telling ourselves we aren’t good enough.
In this episode, I invite you to discover how to:
Reconnect with your Inner Compass—that part of you that knows who you really are.
Understand the Three Keys to Relaxing (Breath, Body Language, and Mental Focus).
Harness the Three D’s (Detachment, Determination, and Direction) to stay free long-term.
Shift the beliefs that have kept you stuck.
Use simple, science-backed techniques to rewire your nervous system for success.
Empower yourself to move forward with confidence.
I share real client stories, including a truck driver who had smoked since he was 13, and how curiosity, belief, and holistic hypnotherapy helped him find his way back to freedom.
So, if you or someone you care about is ready to make a change this World Smoke Free Day, join me for this powerful conversation. You’ve got the magic—you’ve had it all along. You just need to turn it back on.
