    The Things No One Taught Us About the Stories We Subconsciously Live By With Jenna Fontanez

    What if the way you think, react, and move through your life… isn’t actually who you are—but a collection of subconscious patterns you learned long ago?In this episode, I’m joined by the incredible Jenna Fontanez, hypnosis healer and subconscious rewiring expert, for a deep and eye-opening conversation about the stories we subconsciously live by—and how to change them.We talk about how our core beliefs are formed in childhood (sometimes through experiences that seem small or insignificant), how those beliefs shape our identity, and why we can feel stuck in patterns that don’t actually reflect who we truly are.Jenna shares how subconscious work and nervous system regulation go hand in hand, and how healing at the root creates real, lasting change—not just temporary relief.If you’ve ever wondered:– Why you react the way you do– Why certain triggers keep showing up– Or how to actually shift the patterns you’ve been carryingThis episode will give you a whole new perspective.✨ Inside this episode:• Subconscious patterns and how they’re formed• The power of identity and language (“I am” vs. “I feel”)• Inner child work and rewriting past experiences• Nervous system regulation and emotional triggers• Intuition vs. fear—how to tell the difference• Why healing doesn’t have to be heavy to be effectiveThis is the kind of work that changes everything—from how you show up for yourself, to how you show up for your family.🌿 Connect with Jenna:Website: https://www.healingwithjenna.comInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/_healing_with_jenna_/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/HealingWithJennaLLC/?ref=NONE_xav_ig_profile_page_web🌿 Connect with Me:Instagram: If this episode resonated with you, share it with someone who needs it, and don’t forget to follow the show so you never miss an episode.And as always… keep going inward.
