Soul Fusion with Penny Chiasson

In this episode, Penny welcomes functional medicine expert Sharon Yeh — former clinical pharmacist turned mitochondrial and circadian wellness practitioner — to explore how simple but profound changes in light exposure, timing of meals, and environmental rhythms can unlock healing on every level: body, mind and soul. 🎧 What We Cover Sharon's journey from hospital pharmacy to functional nutrition and mitochondria‑focused wellness, sparked by a climbing expedition and an inner whisper that she was meant for something more. The powerful role of morning sunlight in resetting your body's master clock (the suprachiasmatic nucleus) and why getting outside shortly after waking can influence every organ system. How artificial blue light and late‑night eating disrupt your circadian rhythm, hormone signals like leptin, cortisol, and digestion — and what you can do instead. Why your mitochondria and hormone systems hinge on natural light cycles, movement and timing, not just supplements. Practical steps: go outside with minimal screen‑delay, shift your environment to mirror natural daylight patterns, and honor when your body is designed to digest vs rest. The spiritual thread: Sharon's own experience on Kilimanjaro, hearing the inner call, and how light became a bridge between her earthly body and higher self. 🧠 Why It's So Important Research supports that morning sunlight exposure boosts alertness, mood and sleep quality by entraining the circadian rhythm. Exposure to outdoor light in the first hour after waking signals your brain that it's daytime, synchronizes internal clocks, and helps wind down more naturally at night. Meanwhile, light exposure later in the day or artificial blue light near bedtime sends mixed signals, interfering with metabolism, digestion and hormone balance.  💥 Key Takeaways You Can Use Tomorrow Step outside (even 5‑15 minutes) in the early morning before checking your phone or screens. Dim or eliminate artificial blue light sources after sunset; your body's clocks should be winding down, not gearing up. Align your eating and rest times to natural daylight: digestion is stronger during daylight; at night your system is shifting into repair mode. Re‑frame supplements and protocols: If you're doing everything right yet still feel stuck — your missing piece might be light + rhythm, not "more stuff". Recognize the spiritual dimension: When you align with your body's rhythms and light cycles, you're aligning with nature and the subtle cues of your higher self. 🔗 Connect with Sharon Mini‑guide: The Missing Components to Feeling Better Instagram: @the_sharon_yeh Learn more: sharon‑yeh wellness

Let's be honest—sometimes your brain just hits a wall and screams, "F this." But what if that reaction isn't wrong? What if it's just feedback? In this episode, Penny explains how that moment of shutdown isn't a failure, a sign of misalignment, or a cue to burn it all down. It's your brain letting you know something isn't working—and it's time to shift your state, not your entire life. Inside, you'll discover: Why mental fatigue and frustration aren't always about mindset The neuroscience behind your "I'm done" moment How to recognize the difference between burnout and misalignment Simple ways to shift your internal state without forcing clarity The surprising link between your nervous system and motivation Whether you're an entrepreneur, healer, coach, or high performer—this episode is your reminder: You're not stuck. You're not broken. You're just getting feedback. Shift your state → clarity follows. No overthinking. No overhauling. Just realignment.

Ever feel like you're doing all the "right" things—personal growth, coaching, human design readings—but something still feels off? This episode unpacks how well-meaning identity work can subtly hold you back instead of move you forward. Penny shares personal experiences navigating business growth, spiritual tools like human design, and advice from high-level coaches—only to realize that her subconscious was playing tricks on her identity. From misapplying "do less to do more," to unconsciously letting a sales coach's strategy override her natural strengths, Penny exposes how easy it is to adopt identity limitations without realizing it. 🎙️ In this episode, you'll learn: How subconscious beliefs disguised as smart strategy can keep you stuck Why your human design or numerology reading should inform you—not define you What happens when your subconscious misuses personal growth advice to avoid fear and doubt The surprising ways financial advice can become part of your identity (especially during retirement) How Penny uses the Identity Matrix™ Method to align clients with their true desires Why ethical hypnotists must be deeply intentional with suggestions to protect the mind ✨ Penny reminds us that the subconscious is a trickster—and if left unchecked, it will use even "good advice" as an excuse to stay small. This conversation is your wake-up call to check who's really running the show in your mind. 🔗 Resources & Links Mentioned: 🎯 Private Hypnosis Consult 🎓 Professional Hypnosis Certification 🎧 Episode 83 with Andrea Nino de Guzman (on Human Design) 

Do people often call you "so strong"... like it's a compliment? You hold everything together. You always show up. You're the one everyone turns to—at work, at home, in your friend group. But here's the truth: that identity comes at a cost. In this episode, Penny breaks down the emotional and neurological toll of always being "the strong one"—and how to finally let go without guilt.   🎧 Listen If You're: The person everyone turns to—but you're secretly depleted Addicted to "knowing what's next" because the unknown feels unsafe Struggling with boundaries, burnout, or people-pleasing A high-performing woman who's outgrown her over-responsible identity Ready to feel light, creative, and connected again 🔗 Links & Resources: 🎧 Related Episode: It's Always the Nice One – https://pennychiasson.com/218 🎧 Related Episode: When Success Isn't Sustainable - https://pennychiasson.com/226 💫 Soul Connection Session: https://pennychiasson.com/soul-connection 🌀 Breakthrough Session: https://pennychiasson.com/private-transformation  

In this episode, I'm pulling back the curtain on a question that landed in my DMs: How do I plan to incorporate my shamanic training into my hypnosis work in the future? The short answer: I already do. The deeper answer? That's what this episode is all about. Many people think of the subconscious as just a storage bin for beliefs and programs. But this mindset is limited. The subconscious is far more—it's a convergence zone where identity, neuroscience, and consciousness meet. And when you bring shamanic principles into ethical, client-led hypnosis, you're no longer just clearing blocks... you're helping someone remember who they truly are. 🎧 What You'll Learn: Why the subconscious isn't just a brain-based system, but a gateway to consciousness How emotions like fear, guilt, and shame block access to inner peace and clarity What it really means to shift your frequency—and why it's not always easy How to avoid spiritual bypassing by honoring your emotions rather than suppressing them The truth about instantaneous transformation (yes, it's real—but not always instant) Why your identity must be aligned with your desired frequency to avoid resistance ✨ My Take on Shamanism + Hypnosis Shamanism isn't a technique I inject into hypnosis sessions, it's a way of being. It's the space I hold: free from judgment, beyond ego, rooted in deep presence and curiosity. My role is never to force change, but to offer clients the opening to choose it for themselves. 🔥 Want to Go Deeper?

What if the root of your stress isn't your workload—but your identity? In this soul-stirring episode of Soul Fusion, Penny Chiasson explores the silent epidemic of spiritual disconnection in a world obsessed with productivity, perfectionism, and performance. She asks a bold question: What if your stress is coming from living a life that was never truly yours? You'll hear how subconscious beliefs formed in childhood create identity-level blocks and why surface-level self-care practices like journaling and yoga often aren't enough. Penny shares how Soul Connection Sessions, now offered by her certified graduate Tina using the Remember Method, help uncover your true path and release the false identities keeping you stuck. If you feel exhausted even when doing "everything right," this episode will help you understand what your body, soul, and subconscious have been trying to tell you all along. What You'll Learn: Why your stress may stem from spiritual misalignment—not your to-do list How subconscious survival patterns sabotage your connection with self Why affirmations and meditation don't always resolve the root cause What happens in a Soul Connection Session—and why it's not "woo" How to know if your identity has been shaped by fear, people-pleasing, or past pain Powerful Client Insight Shared: One client asked her soul why she kept getting nudges about a career move. The answer? "Follow the intuitive hit we have been giving you for two years, everything else has been taken care of." She finally trusted herself—and days later, she landed a new job with a higher salary and a shorter commute.   Resources & Links: ✨ Book a Soul Connection Session Uncover the deeper spiritual reasons behind your challenges and reconnect with your soul's guidance. 🔗 https://pennychiasson.com/soul-connection 🌀 Schedule a Breakthrough Session Work with Tina to identify identity-level stress patterns and create lasting emotional clarity. 🔗 https://pennychiasson.com/breakthrough 🎓 September Hypnosis Certification Training Apply now if you're ready to guide others back to themselves with ethical, soul-aligned hypnosis. 🔗 Get the details HERE. 📖 Read the Blog on Stress and Identity Disconnect Learn how stress impacts more than your mind—and why it may be a sign your spirit is out of alignment. 🔗Hypnosis and Stress  

Beyond the Brain: Why Your 3D Identity Isn't Who You Really Are What This Episode Is Really About: We're getting real about identity—because the person you think you are… probably isn't the whole story. In this episode, Penny breaks down the neuroscience, subconscious programming, and soul-level insight behind why your 3D identity—your "I am" story, fears, and mental patterns—isn't actually who you are. It's just what your brain has been taught to believe. You'll discover how your brain's default mode network (DMN), dopamine loops, and outdated self-concepts hijack your growth—and how hypnosis can interrupt and realign these patterns at the identity level. Whether you're on a spiritual journey or simply trying to get unstuck, this episode gives you a radically empowering reframe: You are not broken. You are programmable. And you have the power to choose what you're programmed for. Highlights & Breakthroughs: How the brain creates your 3D identity through memory, comparison, and reward loops Why "I'm not good enough" is often just a dopamine-fueled safety mechanism What the default mode network (DMN) is—and how it keeps you in old patterns The difference between your brain, your mind, and consciousness Why spiritual seekers often get stuck even with all the right mindset tools How hypnosis recalibrates identity and removes subconscious blocks The Identity Matrix™ method: How Penny's process rewires self-concept at the deepest level What happens when you shift from "the person who has the problem" to "the one who no longer needs it" Real Talk: Your thoughts, fears, and "I am not enough" loops? That's just old code running on your brain's hardware. You are consciousness. Your brain is a computer. Hypnosis is the keyboard.

Fear isn't a life sentence—it's a learned pattern. In this powerful solo episode, Penny Chiasson pulls back the curtain on the illusion that fear is a necessary motivator. Drawing from her own experience and a recent breakthrough conversation with a Voxer client, Penny walks you through why most fear isn't real and how to train your brain to thrive in the unfamiliar instead of defaulting to survival mode. Here's what you'll learn: Why the belief that "you'll always live with fear" is keeping you stuck How your brain wires fear through stories, not reality Why pushing through fear might actually reinforce it instead of dissolving it How to reframe discomfort as possibility and not threat The mindset shift that turns unfamiliarity into your new playground A daily habit that breaks the fear-success cycle Why your biggest gift might feel "too easy" to you (and why that's exactly the point) What it really means to be a lightworker in this season of humanity And how 5% of us tuning into love—just for a moment—can shift the collective This episode blends subconscious insight, neuroscience, and soul-level truth to help you break free from fear-based loops and step into the life you're here to lead.

If you've spent thousands on personal growth and you're still stuck in the same patterns… you're not broken. You're just not working at the level where real transformation happens. In this raw, eye-opening episode, Penny Chiasson pulls back the curtain on the biggest mistakes people make when seeking hypnosis — and why many well-intentioned seekers stay stuck even after therapy, coaching, and years of self-help work. From patterns of people-pleasing and perfectionism to overthinking and chasing permission, Penny explains how these survival strategies are wired into your subconscious like Fort Knox — and why superficial approaches won't create lasting change. You'll learn: Why insight alone isn't enough — and how coaching often stops short of rewiring your identity The myth of "I must not feel worthy" — and how that belief gets implanted by clever marketing Why hypnosis audios are for surface shifts — and when it's time to go deeper What happens when you try to "piecemeal" transformation (hint: it keeps you suffering) Why the subconscious mind is a matrix, and how pulling one thread impacts the whole system What it actually takes to create embodied, lasting change — without needing years of unpacking your past You'll also hear Penny's heartfelt message about purpose, dharma, and following your path with heart — whether that's building a business, going back to school, or leaving behind everything you thought you wanted. 💡 Bottom line: Hypnosis isn't magic. It's method.

You've probably heard the phrase: "It's always the nice ones." And maybe, like me, you once thought that was a compliment. But it's not. That phrase haunted me during my years in healthcare, whispered between nurses and doctors when patients who "did everything right" still ended up with the worst outcomes. And now, after years of working with high-achieving women as a hypnotist, I understand exactly why that happens. In this episode, I'm getting real about the hidden cost of being the nice one—the self-sacrificer, the peacekeeper, the one who puts everyone else first. I walk you through how people-pleasing and emotional suppression don't just exhaust you mentally… they actually impact your nervous system, your hormones, your immune response, and your genetic expression. Here's what we're diving into: Why N.I.C.E. = Neglecting Inner Compass Every day—and how that pattern forms How childhood conditioning wires us to seek validation through self-abandonment What chronic low-level stress does to your immune system, cortisol, and long-term health The real reason women get stuck in "doing what's expected" even when it makes them miserable Why it's not selfish to choose your joy—it's necessary for vitality This is about more than mindset. Your body knows when you're out of alignment. And the longer you override your intuition in order to be good, pleasing, or acceptable, the more strain you place on your system. I share how hypnosis helps clients release these subconscious patterns—whether it's perfectionism, over-giving, guilt, or the fear that they're only lovable when they're useful. You'll hear how even identity-level beliefs, like "I'm responsible for everyone's happiness," can finally be released when the subconscious feels safe enough to let go. It's not about becoming someone new—it's about becoming who you were before the world told you to be nice. 👉 Book a consult – If you're ready to stop abandoning yourself and start living a life that actually feels like yours 🎧 Related episode: Episode 193 – Why Hypnosis Works When Therapy Doesn't (with Christian Skoorsmith)

 In this episode, Penny breaks down why so many people end up stuck in familiar patterns—even after therapy, mindset work, or personal development. You'll learn what most methods miss: that your subconscious identity, formed through emotional imprinting, is what truly drives your behavior. When your subconscious doesn't feel safe becoming someone new, no amount of motivation or habit-stacking will create lasting change. Key topics we explore: Why affirmations, habits, and mindset tools have limits How subconscious identity is wired for safety, not success What early emotional imprints have to do with people-pleasing, fixing, and self-sabotage Why hypnosis isn't about force—it's about alignment How theta state activates the hippocampus for memory and emotional shifts The real reason clients circle back to old patterns (and how to help them break free) Whether you're a practitioner or someone craving a deeper shift, this episode will reshape how you understand change—and why hypnosis is the most ethical and effective path for identity-level transformation.
