013 - Breaking Old Patterns — Why You Repeat What Hurts (and How to Change It)

016 - You Take Care of Everyone – Except Yourself | Self-Love, Self-Abandonment & Emotional Resilience

You function. You care. You manage.And somewhere along the way, you stopped making the list yourself. In this episode I talk about self-love – not the bubble bath version, but the real one. The kind that's missing when your inner critic is louder than anything else. The kind that's missing when you knew you wanted to say no – and said yes anyway. Self-love is often confused with selfishness. It isn't. It's also not self-sacrifice. It sits right in between – and for many women, it's the missing foundation underneath everything else. This episode covers:– What self-love actually is – and what it definitely is not– How a lack of self-love shows up in daily life: the inner critic, self-abandonment, people pleasing, high-functioning exhaustion– Why our nervous system often experiences self-love as unsafe– The Best Friend Test – a simple tool you can use right now– How emotional patterns and early experiences shape our inner relationship with ourselves– The role of the subconscious, stress response and nervous system in lasting self-worth– And why the treasure isn't gone – just buried Self-love isn't a destination you arrive at once. It's a path – and sometimes it helps to have someone walk it with you.

015 - Your Brain Is Not Your Enemy – Neuroplasticity, Emotional Patterns & the Subconscious

Your brain is not working against you. It's working with outdated information. Every emotional pattern that keeps coming back. Every reaction that arrives faster than your conscious mind. The exhaustion that has settled in so deeply it feels normal. The self-abandonment so familiar you barely notice it anymore. It all makes sense – once you understand how the subconscious actually works. In this episode I talk about neuroplasticity and what it really means for you. Namely this: change is always possible. Not through willpower, not through more discipline – but by working where emotional patterns are actually stored. I hear this again and again from women who come to me: "I know I have the pattern – I just can't get out of it." That's exactly what this episode is about. We talk about:– Neuroplasticity and why "that's just how I am" is not the truth– How your brain stores solutions – and why it can be so stubborn about them– The role of beliefs, nervous system responses and the subconscious– Why feelings are the real key to lasting change– And how hypnosis works directly with automatic patterns Whether it's perfectionism, people-pleasing, self-abandonment or the feeling of running permanently on autopilot – the underlying structure is often the same. And it can change.

014 - Processing Grief: My story on what happened in my subconscious

In this episode, I talk about how I process grief, not in a theoretical way, but through a self‑hypnosis session that took me back almost 30 years. I explain how grief is stored in the subconscious mind, why we often function instead of feel, and how emotional patterns, the nervous system, and memory interact. If you’re trying to process your own grief or sense that something inside you is stuck, this episode offers an honest look into the inner processes that make healing possible.
