You've spent twenty years climbing to the top—so why does the board meeting still feel like being called to the principal's office? In this revealing episode, mindset coach Joe and hypnotherapist Trevor expose the hidden psychology of authority that sabotages even the most successful executives.

Discover why your unconscious maps powerful figures (board members, investors, regulators) onto childhood authority patterns, triggering primitive fear responses that undermine your leadership. Learn to identify whether you're trapped in the Pleaser archetype (over-explaining, seeking constant approval, avoiding confrontation) or the Rebel archetype (aggressive defensiveness, undermining leadership, proving you're right at all costs).

This episode delivers three powerful tools to reclaim your peer status: The Mirror Technique (shifting from defensive to analytical), The Authority Equalizer (a hypnotherapy visualization that neutralizes perceived threats), and The "I Am Responsible" Shift (embracing adult accountability to eliminate approval-seeking).

Stop performing for validation and start operating as an equal. Perfect for senior leaders who struggle with board presentations, investor meetings, or difficult stakeholders despite their executive credentials.

Time for a detox! After three intense episodes on executive psychology, Joe and Trevor lighten the mood by demolishing the corporate jargon and toxic advice that fuels workplace chaos and burnout.

Discover why phrases like "let's peel the onion," "low-hanging fruit," and "circle back" are linguistic defence mechanisms that mask unclear thinking. Learn why motivational advice like "be a sponge," "never let them see you sweat," and "wear two hats for one salary" are actually blueprints for professional exploitation and mental exhaustion.

This episode delivers three powerful anti-jargon phrases that establish boundaries and protect your wellbeing: "What is the single most important output?" (eliminates 80% of busy-work), "Where would you like me to deprioritise?" (escapes the over-commitment trap), and "What does success look like by Friday?" (breaks the perfectionist's loop).

Stop absorbing corporate toxicity and start speaking the language of clarity. Perfect for executives tired of meaningless buzzwords and ready to reclaim their time, focus, and sanity with honest communication.

Your brilliant analytical mind can solve multi-million dollar problems—so why can't it fix your chronic stress? In this groundbreaking episode, mindset coach Joe and hypnotherapist Trevor reveal why logic fails against burnout and introduce The Somatic CEO framework.

Discover how your body stores traumatic stress in your fascia, muscles, and nervous system—creating physical reactions that bypass your conscious control. Learn about Polyvagal Theory and the three survival states that dictate your leadership effectiveness: Social Engagement (optimal performance), Fight or Flight (chronic anxiety), and Freeze/Shutdown (executive exhaustion).

This episode delivers three powerful somatic hacking tools you can use immediately: the Anchoring Breath (6/8 Vagal breathing technique), Active Grounding (boardroom-friendly nervous system reset), and the Hypnotherapeutic Scan (releasing trapped emotional memories). Stop trying to think your way out of tension and start speaking your body's language.

Perfect for executives experiencing persistent physical symptoms—tight shoulders, clenched jaw, gut tension, brain fog—despite appearing calm and in control.
