What if the same therapist who helps billionaires' kids handle pressure could fix your worst mental habits in three simple steps? Adrian Wells sits down with Marisa Peer, who's spent 35 years as the go-to hypnotherapist for celebrities, CEOs, and royalty. Turns out, the patterns that mess with our heads as adults get locked in when we're kids, and most of us never learn how to break free. 🎯 What You'll Learn: • Why your brain between ages 2-7 basically programs your entire self-image (and how to reprogram it) • The one childhood factor that predicts adult success better than anything else • Three concrete steps to interrupt negative thought spirals the moment they start • Why your brain can't tell the difference between what's real and what you vividly imagine 👤 Perfect for: lifelong learners and anyone tired of the same negative thoughts running their life on repeat. 📍 Chapters: [00:00] Adrian Wells introduces the therapist to the ultra-wealthy [01:45] How billionaire families actually think about mental health [03:30] The 2-7 age window that shapes everything [05:15] Why one believing person changes your entire trajectory [07:00] The three-step method Marisa uses with A-listers [09:30] How your brain confuses imagination with reality [11:00] Practical steps you can start using today Marisa's client list reads like a who's who of power and influence, but her insights work whether you're running a Fortune 500 company or just trying to get through Tuesday without beating yourself up.

The Gold Exchange Podcast Monetary Metals Welcome to The Gold Exchange, where we untangle market and policy complexity using timeless economic principles. Rise Up Mentor Derek Kempker Welcome to Rise Up Mentor (formerly, Summits of Life), a platform that advocates for lifelong learning and constant improvement in every aspect of life. As someone who’s experienced both the valleys and peaks of life, I understand that while we cannot control all the obstacles that come our way, we do have the power to choose whether we get back up or not. And each time we choose to rise again, we become stronger.But why settle for just getting back up? By consistently striving to become better and wiser, we can reduce our chances of being knocked down in the first place. That’s why I started Rise Up Mentor – to encourage and motivate you to continuously improve in all areas of life, including vocation, marriage, friendship, personal development, health, parenting, lifestyle, spirituality, intellect, and finance.Although I am a Certified Master Life Coach, I don’t consider myself an expert or master, because I don’t feel there is such a thing as mastering life, but it is possible to TomCattt Thomas Patton From the beginning music has prowled with accordion lessons at a young age, followed by sax, blues harp and more recently piano, vocals, song writing and recording. Thomas Patton (AKA TomCattt) credits his mother for his stage name "TomCattt” as she was big on nick names for those she held close to her heart. TomCattt's music is best described as easy listening and sometimes retro, yet with a contemporary mix and feel. Accompanied by the creative tracks of a number of gifted musicians, his first album Hiiyaaaaaaaaaaa inspires imagination and finds a way to impress with a unique vocal sound, compelling harmony and gripping melody. The lyrical content is in fact a living reflection of this artists emotional journey that followed leaving love, finding a new love only to lose love once again. Hiiyaaaaaaaaaaa was released on June 1st, 2013 and all are invited to Soundcloud, Bandcamp, ReverbNation and Cdbaby where "A Question" is free download and to enjoy TomCattt's website tomcattt.com.
