Trauma-informed hypnotherapist, leadership coach, speaker and author Nathan Simmonds joins me to demystify men’s intuition (aka the “gut feeling”), why we repeat painful patterns, and how to rebuild trust with the most powerful part of the mind. We explore practical tools—coaching questions, active imagination, breath, and ritual—to rewire habits, move through triggers, and return to authentic self-leadership. Nathan also shares his Spirit Medicine Oracle deck (a “coach in your pocket”) and his 9-week men’s program, The Way of the Magician. If you’ve ever wondered how awareness and intuition actually translate into change—this one’s for you.

In this episode of the Spiritual AI Podcast, we bridge the gap between “woo” and the everyday.
Guest: Nathan Simmonds — trauma-informed hypnotherapist, leadership coach, speaker, author.

We cover:

• Men & intuition: why many men say “gut feeling” and how to make it practical.

• The ego’s job: how early experiences write our adult SOPs—and why your ego still thinks you’re five.

• Breaking repeat patterns: safety, certainty, and why the nervous system clings to the known.

• Rewiring 101: demyelination/remyelination in plain English, and why “confusion” means your brain is updating.

• Working with triggers (activations): questions that shift you from reacting to responding.

• Nathan’s Spirit Medicine Oracle deck: 256 coaching questions + 60 hours of guided journeys 

• Ritual, discipline & support: keeping the new path clear when life throws vines on the track.
