In this episode, I’m joined by Rachel Crethar, a clinical hypnotherapist and Rapid Transformational Therapy (RTT) facilitator who helps people release subconscious patterns and reconnect with who they truly are.

Rachel shares her journey from a 20-year career in advertising, to running a crystal business, to stepping fully into hypnotherapy — a reminder that every pivot can quietly guide us closer to purpose. I also share my personal experience of working with Rachel and how one session around public speaking shifted something deeply for me.

We explore how beliefs formed in childhood shape the way we move through the world as adults, why so many people carry a quiet sense of “not enough” or “not belonging,” and how these old stories can show up in our confidence, relationships, eating habits, skin, gut, and ability to be seen.

Rachel explains what RTT actually is, how hypnotherapy helps rewire neural pathways, why repetition and integration are essential for change, and why creating nervous system safety is a crucial part of lasting transformation.

This conversation is a powerful reminder that often the thing we think we need to "fix" isn’t the real issue at all — and that reconnecting with ourselves is where real change begins.
