In this episode, Laura sits down with hypnotherapist and coach Christina Woods for a fascinating conversation about the subconscious mind, limiting beliefs, and why so many ambitious women feel stuck even when they’re doing “all the right things.” Together, they unpack what hypnotherapy actually is (and what it’s not), how subconscious patterns shape behaviour, and why inner work is often the missing link between strategy and sustainable success. This episode is part education, part mindset shift, and part permission slip to explore deeper tools for growth.
