E151 - Hypnotherapist: The 10 Beliefs Controlling Your Life Without You Knowing

First Things THRST

Show Notes

Jim Curtis spent 25 years building major health media companies like WebMD before realising conscious knowledge only gets you halfway. He breaks down why willpower and motivation are temporary until you reprogram your subconscious beliefs, how your identity determines your reality, and what's actually holding you back from the life you want.

We also cover the real difference between actual hypnotherapy and the fake billionaire hypnotists selling quick fixes on social media.
