(please don’t listen while driving, save for when you can safely close your eyes)

I lost my voice COMPLETELY this week, so today’s episode is a video I made for TikTok that has been very popular, and I wanted to share it with you. You can use this short hypnosis to turn down ringing in your ears, or to help desensitize you to any sound in your environment that is bothering you. It’s short so that you can “pop in” to your control room anytime you want to work with your dials and switches.

Remember, your subconscious LOVES repetition, so keep practicing!

Christina Honkonen is a Certified Consulting Hypnotist and mental performance coach who helps athletes, young performers, and high achievers develop the mindset needed to perform at their highest level. Certified through the National Guild of Hypnotists, she works with youth and elite athletes through her Mental Performance Training Program, helping them strengthen focus, build confidence, overcome performance blocks, and access the mental “zone” where peak performance happens.

With nearly two decades of professional experience and a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology from the University of Tennessee, Knoxville, Christina combines evidence-based hypnosis with mindset training and NLP techniques to help clients create lasting change. In addition to sports performance, she works with professionals and high performers to improve public speaking confidence, break unwanted habits, and reduce stress that interferes with performance.

Her work is rooted in both science and personal experience, inspired by her journey as a parent when hypnosis was recommended to support her son following an ADD diagnosis—an experience that revealed the powerful role the subconscious mind plays in shaping performance, behavior, and personal growth.

Christina sees clients in offices in Knoxville and Maryville, Tennessee, and works with athletes and high performers nationwide through virtual sessions at Honkonen Hypnosis. Her work focuses on helping clients train the mind the same way elite athletes train the body.

Host Robyn Holm addresses a common concern: whether hypnosis works if you can’t visualize. She explains hypnosis isn’t dependent on seeing pictures but on feeling, meaning, repetition, and nervous system safety, emphasizing that “feeling is the secret” and that imagining sensations (or even pretending) can be just as effective. She shares somatic alternatives to visualization and then leads a guided, non-visual hypnosis for replacing feelings of anxiety with feelings of calm.

Host Robyn Holm welcomes guest Sheila DeYoung, a hypnotherapist and Conscious Katamine Coach who helps high-performing, internally exhausted clients who feel unfulfilled despite outward success. Sheila shares her background of childhood trauma, a 34-year corporate management career, and a major burnout in her early 50s that led her to prioritize unconscious and soul-level work through modalities like hypnotherapy, Reiki, NLP, and mental and emotional release. Identifying as an empath, she discusses how absorbing others’ emotions affected her leadership roles and explains her current protection and clearing practices, including prayers, visualization, crystals, bells, sage/Palo Santo, water, and a ritual for “leaving” and “releasing” energy. Sheila also describes her work as a certified conscious ketamine coach, emphasizing intention-setting, guided journeys, medical prescribing through a partnered practitioner, and 30 days of integration. She shares outcomes she supports, including renewed motivation, reduced depression, and helping clients overcome limiting beliefs.

This is a dual-purpose hypnosis session:

1)a Chakra Balancing Journey

2)Overcoming fear of judgment and being seen.

This hypnosis uses the chakra system as a relaxation deepener, pairing each chakra with ways fear of being seen manifests—especially fear of being misunderstood—and guiding listeners to clear old patterns and bring in safety, expression, authenticity, confidence, joy, and grounding.

Robyn interviews longtime friend Melissa about her lifelong struggle with body image, bullying starting in early elementary school, and cultural pressures around weight. Melissa is a Director in Learning & Development who has spent her career helping others grow, but her most profound transformation has been her own. A lifelong wellness advocate and former Zumba instructor of ten years, she is currently completing her PN1 Nutrition and Wellness Coaching certification to bridge the gap between body and mind. She lives with her husband and their two Frenchies, and when she’s not cracking the code on wellness using tools like hypnotherapy, you can find her solving her way out of an escape room.

Melissa describes feeling responsible for others’ emotions connected to empathic patterns and “protection weight.” Robyn explains her framework of safety, energetics, and subconscious beliefs, including coping behaviors that can start around age 14 and how nervous system safety affects weight.

Melissa shares feeling shame, failure, and restrictive diet cycles despite fitness and nutrition knowledge, and says her turning point was combining hypnosis (future pacing) with a GLP-1 medication, resulting in nearly 70 pounds lost over 17 months with minimal side effects and reduced “food noise.” They discuss stigma, medication optimization, compassion for the body, and giving yourself grace.

Host Robyn Holm introduces a sleep hypnosis episode for empaths who struggle with sleep due to deeply processing the day, sharing that this is her third sleep hypnosis and adapted from a popular TikTok video. She recommends practicing hypnosis outside bedtime if sleep sessions feel activating and shares her own history of middle-of-the-night wakeups and dysregulation during her Zumba career. The hypnosis guides breathing, an eye-opening/closing countdown, deep relaxation, and a “bubble of protection” to release worries and fill with calming “liquid light,” ending with suggestions for safe, restful sleep.

Host Robyn Holm interviews Glasgow-based hypnotherapist and Mindset Coach Andy Robson. Andy helps people regain control of their emotional state when it feels like someone or something else is running the show. After overcoming more than a decade of anxiety and attachment patterns himself, Andy rebuilt his life using the same principles he now teaches: nervous system regulation, thought retraining, and emotional self-command. He explains his daily self-hypnosis routine, how he uses anchoring and “stacking” for confidence, and why metaphors and nested stories bypass conscious resistance. Robyn shares her own long history with anxiety and postpartum anxiety and how Hypnosis helped.

Robyn and Andy discuss empathic traits, anxiety as thoughts and body chemistry, self-talk, nervous system regulation, and evidence-based questioning to stop spirals. Andy also previews his seven-day hypnosis program “Detach and Attract” for releasing unhealthy attachments.
