Unlearning with Laura

Episode 10, Season 3: Releasing Perfectionism - Hypnosis for Overwhelmed & Burnt-Out MumsIf the pressure to be perfect has been running your life - the endless striving, the voice that says you're never doing enough, the weight of impossible standards - this is for you.This guided hypnosis is designed to help you loosen the grip of perfectionism and step into a life where self-compassion, progress and ease replace the exhausting pursuit of perfect.In this session, I guide your subconscious into a deeply relaxed state where you'll begin to:- Recognise that your worth was never something you needed to earn- Release the impossible standards you've been carrying: often since long before motherhood- Reprogram your inner voice from criticism to compassion- Embrace progress over perfection - and actually feel it in your body- Step into a version of yourself who rests without guilt and moves through hard days without spirallingSo much of motherhood is outside of our control. And when perfectionism goes unchecked, it paves the way to anxiety, chronic stress and burnout. This session helps you interrupt that pattern - at the subconscious level, where it actually lives.🎧 For best results, listen in a quiet, comfortable space where you won't be disturbed. Listen daily for 21-30 days. ✨Laura's Links:📲 Find Everything Here📲 Instagram: @themindfulgeneration📲 Connect on LinkedInBrand Partnership & Listener DiscountThis episode is brought to you by KARRI - the screen-free voice messenger designed to help children explore the world with confidence, while staying safely connected to the people who matter most.Loved by kids.

Episode 3, Season 3: The 3 Most Powerful Unlearnings for Mothers (Lessons from the Pod in 2025)Welcome to a very special episode of Unlearning with Laura.As the podcast turns one, I wanted to pause and reflect. Over the past year, I’ve had the privilege of holding space for so many powerful conversations with expert guests, and certain themes have come up again and again.In this solo episode, I’m sharing three of the most powerful “unlearnings” for mothers that have emerged from the podcast in 2025 - lessons that invite awareness, compassion and a deeper understanding of how much our subconscious, nervous system and conditioning shape our parenting and our lives.In this episode, we explore:✨ Why school avoidance is not “bad behaviour”What I learned from my conversation with Jodie Jones about school anxiety, nervous system dysregulation, and why neurodivergent children struggle in rigid, outdated education systems.✨ How self-sabotage runs beneath the surfaceInsights from my episode with Becky Stanton on procrastination, perfectionism, self-worth and why your subconscious and energetics are always running the show - whether you’re parenting, building a business, or both.✨ Raising children in a tech-heavy worldReflections from my conversation with Jade Gooding on values-led living and why the conversation around tweens, teens and smartphones has never been more urgent - including current UK discussions around social media bans for under-16s.🎁 Podcast Birthday GiveawayAt the end of this episode, I’m announcing a very special giveaway to celebrate one year of Unlearning with Laura - including a Power Hour HypnoCoaching session, my Bedtime Bliss bundle, and my Morning Mastery Toolkit.Make sure you listen right to the end to find out how to enter.FYI - these science backed bundles were created with so much love and have helped numerous mums in getting their kids to settle with ease and to enjoy their mornings again!🤍 New Brand PartnershipThis episode also marks the beginning of a new brand partnership with KARRI - a screen-free voice messaging device for children.

This is a chance to release guilt, rewire at a subconscious level and step into self-compassion. Please note that this was created as a generic audio for my audience (mostly mums) but if it resonates, I advise you listen for 30 days to notice a real difference. It's all about the repetition!✨ Important: This is a hypnosis audio, designed to be listened to in a quiet, relaxed space where you won’t be disturbed. Please don’t listen while driving or doing anything that requires your full attention. Instead, find a cosy spot, pop in your headphones, and give yourself permission to fully receive this practice.By the end of this session, you’ll feel lighter, calmer, and more at peace with yourself as a mother. You deserve this. 💛🌟 If you love this episode, be sure to subscribe and leave a review - it helps so much!If you'd like my hypnotherapy to be tailored to you specifically, get in touch.Laura’s Links:🔗 Start Here: https://mindful-generation.com/welcome/📲 IG: @themindfulgeneration💼 LI: https://www.linkedin.com/in/lauratstyles/🎧 Book a Free Discovery Call: https://calendly.com/mindful-generation/1-1-callSupport the show
