If you're a high performer in business or sport, navigating grief, or exploring faith without dogma - and want practical ways to rewire unhelpful patterns - this conversation will help.

Caryn Bird is a hypnotherapist and grief-retreat facilitator who transformed the loss of her son into purpose-led work. She helps athletes and everyday people build confidence, composure and performance through grounded practices that turn belief into calm, focused action.

In this episode, you'll learn:

- What hypnosis actually is and how to rewire negative thought patterns

- Why affirmations only work when aligned with belief - and why one clear goal beats a dozen scattered statements

-How to discern spirit signs and navigate faith with or without psychedelics

- Practical grief support for bereaved parents, including simple at-home steps for acute loss

- Real results from swimmers, boxers and Olympians

- Tools for moderating alcohol and building non-negotiable daily habits

- A brief micro-practice to connect with God

This conversation includes stories from elite athletes and tools you can use today.
