Beyond Talk Therapy: Rewiring the Mind with Hypnosis for Sustainable Transformation with guest Carla Challah

In this episode of “The Hypnotic Empath,” host Robyn Holm interviews Carla Chalah, Certified Clinical Hypnotherapist, Integrative Life Coach, hypnosis trainer, and founder of Hemisphere Hypnotherapy and EveryBody in Mind Wellness Center. Carla shares her journey from personal transformation to becoming a leader in subconscious reprogramming and neuroscience-backed change work.   Robyn and Carla explore the real mechanics of identity, emotional regulation, and habit change. They talk about why people get stuck in frustrating loops, how subconscious patterns quietly run the show, and what it actually takes to create change that lasts. Carla brings her signature blend of neuroscience, somatic awareness, and subconscious reprogramming to the conversation, offering grounded insights listeners can immediately apply to their own growth.   This dialogue is warm, real, and packed with practical tools for anyone ready to understand themselves more deeply or step into a truer version of who they are.   Grab a notebook and dive into this episode.
