I cannot wait for you to hear this conversation with my hypnotherapist, Kristen Eykel, the woman and the modality that have completely shifted my life. Kristen’s story is wild in the best way: she went from being a supermodel in the 80s, living the full sex-drugs-rock-and-roll lifestyle, to becoming a deeply respected healer. And in this episode, she breaks down what hypnotherapy really is… beyond the clichés and way past the “quit smoking” stereotype.

We talk about why some of our patterns might come from utero or even a past life and why time isn’t as real as we think it is. Kristen shares why she doesn’t believe you need plant medicine to access deep healing, and how hypnotherapy can take you to the same inner truths with clarity and safety.

We also get into overriding fear, remembering our connectedness, and how to stay centered when the world feels heavy. Kristen explains why some souls choose harder lives, why visualization actually matters, and how to release the emotions we keep stored in our bodies. Plus: parallel realities and why no two people experience this world the same way.

It’s raw, mind-expanding, and one of the most transformative conversations I’ve had yet.
