Think you need to be broken to benefit from deep personal transformation work? Think again. In this episode of Habits and Hustle, I talk with Jim Curtis, a growth strategist and master hypnotist, who explains how even high-achieving, control-oriented people can become their most powerful selves.
We dive into what he calls "mind traps" and how childhood trauma shaped his intuitive abilities. We also discuss why authentic masculine energy is desperately needed in today's world, and how hypnosis can rewire deep-seated beliefs in ways traditional therapy can't touch.
