Rewire Your Mind: Hypnotherapy, Heart Coherence & the Science of Calm with Fiona Brennan #102
What if your thoughts, emotions, and confidence were just habits—and you could change them?
In this powerful conversation, Paul sits down with Fiona Brennan, clinical hypnotherapist and bestselling author of The Positive Habit and Sleep Well, to explore how we can rewire our subconscious mind, shift emotional patterns, and live from the heart—not just the head.
Fiona unpacks the science behind emotional habits, explains how hypnotherapy works, and shares practical tools to overcome anxiety, fear, and self-doubt. You’ll learn about neuroplasticity, subconscious programming, and the transformative power of HeartMath and coherent breathing.
This is not just about healing—it’s about awakening to a more powerful, present, and peaceful way of living.
In this episode, you’ll discover:
- Why your thoughts and emotions are habits—and how to break negative loops
- How hypnotherapy works at a subconscious level to create lasting change
- The truth about confidence and why public speaking fears often stem from childhood
- What it means to live from the heart instead of the head
- How to use HeartMath and coherent breathing to regulate your nervous system
