In this episode of The Mental Mastery Alliance, Adam sits down with returning guest and Transcending Minds founder, Colleen McKay, to explore the fascinating crossover between NLP (Neuro-Linguistic Programming), hypnosis, and human consciousness.
Together they strip away the misconceptions about “mind manipulation” and dive deep into how language, perception, and energy shape our lived experience. Colleen shares stories from her days as a 21-year-old Bay Street stockbroker learning to navigate a male-dominated industry using communication mastery.
She explains how NLP helps bridge our internal and external worlds—how our words, thoughts, and emotions influence the reality we create. The two unpack how trauma, repetition, and social programming can lock us into mental loops, and how hypnosis works to bypass the critical faculty to rewrite those scripts from within.
Expect real talk about manifestation science, unconscious habits, emotional healing, and why people who “don’t believe” in hypnosis are often the ones who need it most. Adam also opens up about his natural affinity for NLP, his empathic sensitivity, and how reading people became both a survival tactic and a superpower.
This is an honest, hilarious, and illuminating conversation about what it really means to wake up from the trance of everyday life and consciously reprogram your own mind.
If you’ve ever wondered how to stop reacting to life and start designing it, this episode is your doorway.
