Tawnya Jacques — mother, wife, hypnotist, and teacher — shares how learning to let go of fear, control, and self-judgment has led her to a new kind of freedom. In this conversation, we explore how: Letting go of control helped her shift from tension to trust, especially in parenting teenage boys. Old patterns of fear, perfectionism, and people-pleasing were showing up in her relationships, her parenting, and even her intimacy. Learning hypnosis and NLP gave her tools to move from self-judgment to self-trust, and build healthier relationships. Embracing freedom, flexibility, and curiosity has become a way of life. This shift is helping her kids become more confident, independent, and emotionally resilient. She discovered the difference between having rules and embodying values (and why that matters more than we think). Finding her voice as an independent woman means she no longer has to earn love through control or overgiving. She can build connection from a place of confidence.Tawnya Jacques is the heart behind Hamilton Hypnosis, where she helps people shift stuck patterns and find their way back to peace, purpose, and possibility. With a background in education and a deep love for helping others grow, she’s also a proud wife to Ben and mom to Caleb (16) and Callum (14), her daily reminders of love, laughter, and life’s sweetest moments.Connect with Tawnya:https://www.hamiltonhypnosis.com/Join us for FREE Stress Management workshops, both in person at our training facility in Burlington, Ontario Canada, and online via Zoom.

From Self-Sabotage to Self-Leadership: How to Create Excellence in Relationships, Parenting & BusinessWhat’s really holding you back from the life you want? In this episode of The Habit of Possibility, hypnosis expert and coach Kristyn Livermore shares how she rewired subconscious patterns of self-sabotage and stepped into true self-leadership.If you’re a purpose-driven person navigating life, building a business, or trying to show up more fully in your relationships, this conversation is a must-listen. Kristyn opens up about the mindset shifts that helped her break free from overwhelm, perfectionism, and fear of judgment—and how those changes transformed her marriage, parenting, and professional path.🔑 You'll learn: How to recognize and shift self-sabotaging subconscious beliefs What self-leadership looks like in real life (especially when things are messy) Why feedback can be your greatest gift How personal growth impacts parenting and business success What it means to lead from clarity instead of fearYou can learn more about Kristyn here:Hi! I'm Kristyn Livermore, the Director of Westend Hypnosis. You might be where I was when I first started Hypnosis, overwhelmed and completely stressed out. Over-thinking every decision and often hoping that food would make me feel better. I felt totally trapped and everything I tried made things worse … nothing was working. I was angry and resentful and it was affected my marriage, my parenting skills and pretty much all aspects of my life. I was 230 lbs and miserable.Hypnosis teaches you how to utilize your unconscious mind to chase your goals and gravitate easily towards the actions that achieve them. Having an experience that gives you proof you can do it another way. Like the thousands of people who've used hypnosis to change their lives, it also helped me move my body during an emotional state instead of eating food, how to feel confidence (not just pretend to), how to find a pause before reacting and honestly, so much more. I personally lost 50 lbs and actually liked who I was.On top of choosing a healthier life style, Hypnosis has helped me with parenting, my marriage, my friendships and my own self confidence. I amaze myself every day with what I can accomplish! Wearing the mom hat of two busy boys, I find time to take care of myself and put on my own oxygen mask on without guilt. I model for them that there is no end game in life. With an outcome, a purpose/mission and steps to what is next - the world is your oyster, with many options in front of you. It’s all a choice.Facebook: https://www.instagram.com/westend_hypnosis/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/westend_hypnosis/Linked-In: https://www.linkedin.com/company/82354953/admin/dashboard/You Tube: https://www.youtube.com/@westendhypnosisWebsite: https://westendhypnosis.ca/You can connect with Robbie Spier Miller at https://www.hypnosistrainingcanada.com or @hypnosistrainingcanada.Join our FREE 1 hour stress management workshop, either in person at our training facility in Burlington Ontario Canda, or online via Zoom.

How to create freedom and choices to build a better future.Our podcast guest, Karen Goslin, gives us a sneak peak of her just published book, “Yellow Paint: Learning to Live Again”, which is part self-help/part memoir.Karen shares: "The book is about my journey of self-discovery from rejections, unfinished endings, poor health and divorce to living my life from my best version of me. I believe that we all receive invitations to change from painful experiences. Some of us experience them as they come and do nothing with them, only to be hit harder by something more painful. Others see them and acknowledge them, but don’t know what to do with them. Still others answer the invitation by making real change in their lives. I had seven invitations to change before I finally woke up and did the work necessary to create a life I would never have dreamed possible."Karen is passionate about guiding people toward important transformations, helping them process pain, addiction, chronic illness, loss and trauma as powerful invitations to change, to ultimately discover a glorious life.Her work creates brave honest spaces that enable the straight talk necessary for accountability and healing.
