This week, we’re talking about why starting small is the most powerful way to create real, lasting change—and why big goals often backfire.

If you’ve ever felt motivated at first, only to hit resistance and slide back into old habits, you’re not broken. You’re human.

In this episode, I walk you through the 6 Stages of Change, a well-established psychological model that explains:

• Why change feels hard even when you want it

• Why resistance often shows up after initial success

• Why relapse isn’t failure—it’s a stage

• How to prevent reverting back to old patterns

• How working with your nervous system (not against it) makes change sustainable

We’ll also talk about why small, consistent actions build confidence, self-trust, and real momentum—without overwhelm or burnout.

If you’re ready to stop starting over and start building change that actually sticks, this episode is for you.

Remember:

Transformation isn’t about perfection—it’s about awareness, curiosity, and practice, with a dash of courage.

Real change starts with one small step—and you don’t have to take it alone.

This episode is a guided hypnosis session designed to help you stay calm, present, and confident when facing situations that may normally bring nerves or anxiety.

This session was inspired by my son and his need for a short audio he could take with him on a wrestling trip—something to ground him, build confidence, and help him trust the work he’s already put in. While the original inspiration was personal, this recording has been intentionally adapted so anyone can use it before a challenging moment, performance, competition, or important task.

Rather than focusing on outcomes, this hypnosis helps you:

• Stay present instead of panicked

• Regulate breath and reduce overthinking

• Trust your preparation and abilities

• Feel supported—even when you stand alone

• Walk away with self-respect, clarity, and a sense of mastery, regardless of the result

This is a body-based, rhythmic hypnosis that builds from calm into quiet strength, helping you access confidence that feels grounded, steady, and real.

You remain fully in control throughout the entire session.

ETA / Length: Approximately 18 minutes of hypnosis.

This week, I’m making a confession.
I’ve been eating junk food… not HoHos and Doritos, but doomscrolling, clickbait, and fear-driven social media.

In this episode, we’re talking about emotional inflammation — the very real ways your nervous system tells you something is off.
Just like your body sends pain or fever to signal trouble, your mind sends emotional sensations: irritability, dread, overwhelm, numbness, comparison, panic, or the urgent feeling that everything is “too much.”

It’s not your fault you’re feeling this way.
We’re all being bombarded.

But if you want it to change, the responsibility (and the power) lies with you — and that’s actually good news.
Because you don’t have to wait for the world to calm down for you to calm down.

In today’s episode, you’ll learn:

• What “mental junk food” really is
• How to notice the early signs of emotional unwellness
• Why fear-based content dysregulates the nervous system
• Three practical tools to reconnect with your body and your community
• How to reclaim your peace without shutting down or hiding

If this spoke to your heart, your mind, or your nervous system… you’re not alone.
And you don’t have to do this alone.
