127. Tim Palladino: Teaching Ourselves To Be Human Beings Again
“Compassion, connection, and community are the world’s most valuable commodities right now.” This global pandemic is taking us on a rollercoaster of emotions. Just when we think we’ve found our groove and new normal, another layer slips away - leaving you dancing with a rush of new feelings. This extended time at home is contributing to the spectrum of emotions… tragedy to triumph and pain and joy. But amongst the chaos and turmoil is a chance to tune into yourself. To strip away what no longer serves. To surrender to the flow of what is.And perhaps even remember what it means to be human. In this beautiful episode, I riff about what it means to be human with my good friend Tim Palladino. It’s crazy that we need to learn how to be human beings, but thanks to a culture of doing and distractions, so many of us are stuck on the hamster wheel. Now we have a time to pause, reflect, and refresh our perspective - and fall in love with life at a whole new level. “I think we are built to be able to get through anything.” Tim Palladino is a social entrepreneur who combines his love of business with serving his community. Tim’s efforts were recognized in 2016 when he was presented with the 40 Under 40 Shaker Award by the Hudson Valley Regional Chamber of Commerce. Tim is also the creator of the “Entrepreneurial Hierarchy of Needs” assessment - a tool that allows business owners to take an objective snapshot of where they rank in the categories of mental and physical health, personal wealth, their relationships, recreation, and their business.In this deep-dive down the rabbit hole, Tim and I explore:Why this is a time of refresh, NOT reset. How to navigate the grieving process that coronavirus has created. What happens when you go through the ‘storm’ and how it empowers you to go forward. Why we have to remember that we are part of nature. Why the duration of this crisis is something to feel grateful for.The power of expressing your emotions. Why it’s dangerous to compare how you’re feeling to anyone else. What is self-esteem? Why your ego is your property - and how to use it. And more. This conversation gave me a lot of comfort in this super tough time. I hope you extract something similar. “Our flow is directly linked to our self esteem, and our self esteem is our reputation with ourself.” How to contact TimPalladino.comhttps://www.facebook.com/TDPalladino/https://www.instagram.com/tdpalladino/We thrive on your feedback, so if you’ve enjoyed this show, please rate us and leave us a review.

126. Grace Smith: How To Heal Past Trauma And Change Your Life Through Hypnotherapy
“My definition for hypnosis is ‘meditation with a goal’.” Why do we find it so difficult to do the things we really want to do? Why do we struggle to build the business of our dreams, create the abundance we crave, or attract the perfect partner? In this episode, you’ll discover that all your beliefs and habits originate in your subconscious. You can’t rewire these parts of you through logic alone, instead, you need to access the power of suggestion - and that’s only available to you when your brain is in a theta state. It’s for this reason that hypnosis is such a powerful and transformative technique. Guide yourself into theta state and you can dial down fear, and do the deep, inner work that rewires what you believe about yourself. Then anything becomes possible. And in this important episode, Grace Smith - a pioneer in the hypnotherapy field reveals how. Listen to this episode and not only will you discover the theoretical reasons why hypnotherapy works. You’ll also experience the benefits through a group hypnosis exercise. Don’t miss it! “You are the one who is healing yourself - the hypnotherapist is just a guide. You are the power source here. You are the one who is transforming.” After quitting her chain smoking habit with a single session, Grace Smith instinctively understood the immense power of hypnotherapy. Inspired to learn more about how the mind works, Grace committed to getting certified - then Alex changed her life…Alex was left paralysed when his convoy was bombed during a UN peace mission in Syria. In Alex’s first hypnotherapy session with Grace, he was able to move his left hand. This was the turning point for Grace and ignited her mission to make hypnosis mainstream. Today, Grace is an author, speaker, and pioneer in the hypnotherapy field. She works with Fortune 500 CEOs, A-list celebrities, Olympic athletes, and government officials. She’s also the Founder of the world’s #1 provider of hypnosis education, products and services and leads a world-class hypnotherapy certification program. Her work has been featured in everything from Marie Claire to Forbes and Entrepreneur. Why is hypnotherapy such an effective tool inside crisis and chaos? How do you get started with hypnosis? The importance of believability when using hypnosis to transform your life. The real reason hypnosis can be a solution to just about anything. The importance of going back to the source in hypnotherapy. Why trauma-causing events always happen earlier than you think. Grace’s personal journey to hypnotherapy. The story of Alex and how hypnosis helped him break through paralysis. And more...“All of your habits, all of your beliefs about yourself and the world around you, and every emotional response is in your subconscious. And that is why hypnotherapy can help with so much, because all it's doing is helping you access the subconscious.” How to contact Grace’s hypnotherapy app is currently free to support everyone through the pandemic: www.gshypnosis.com/app Grace’s new book "Close Your Eyes, Lose Weight" launches on 4/21.
