    ep 37: From Burnout to Thriving: Sheila De Young on Conscious Ketamine Coaching and deep Hypnotherapy to heal from burnout

    Host Robyn Holm welcomes guest Sheila DeYoung, a hypnotherapist and Conscious Katamine Coach who helps high-performing, internally exhausted clients who feel unfulfilled despite outward success. Sheila shares her background of childhood trauma, a 34-year corporate management career, and a major burnout in her early 50s that led her to prioritize unconscious and soul-level work through modalities like hypnotherapy, Reiki, NLP, and mental and emotional release. Identifying as an empath, she discusses how absorbing others’ emotions affected her leadership roles and explains her current protection and clearing practices, including prayers, visualization, crystals, bells, sage/Palo Santo, water, and a ritual for “leaving” and “releasing” energy. Sheila also describes her work as a certified conscious ketamine coach, emphasizing intention-setting, guided journeys, medical prescribing through a partnered practitioner, and 30 days of integration. She shares outcomes she supports, including renewed motivation, reduced depression, and helping clients overcome limiting beliefs.   Contact Sheila at: Calendy: https://calendly.com/sheiladeyoung/15-minute-clarity-call Instagram: @SheilaDeYoungOfficial FaceBook: https://www.facebook.com/LifeStrategist222 TikTok: @SheilaDeYoung LinkedIn: www.linkedin.com/in/sheiladeyoung   Contact Robyn: 250-212-7955 TikTok @RobynHolmHypnotherapist YouTube: @robynholmhypnotherapy IG: @robynholmhypnotherapy   Work with Robyn 1:1 by going to okhypnotherapy.com   Get Robyn’s FREE SafeBody Series Here: https://www.skool.com/robyn-holm-hypnotherapy-2618/about   Robyn’s ThrivingBody Subscription $19/month, cancel anytime:  https://www.skool.com/thrivingbody-membership-1418/about     00:00 Podcast Introduction 00:40 Meet Sheila 02:03 Why Hypnotherapy Helps 03:13 Trauma to Corporate Success 04:43 Burnout Breaking Point 07:32 Empath Gifts at Work 12:37 Energy Protection Rituals 16:37 Clearing After Sessions 19:03 Modalities and Ketamine Work 24:03 Ketamine Safety and Integration 28:28 Client Breakthrough Stories 30:55 Life Lessons and Mantras 32:50 Find Sheila and Whats Next 34:23 Closing and Farewell 00:00 Podcast Introduction 00:40 Meet Sheila 02:03 Why Hypnotherapy Helps 04:43 Burnout Wake Up Call 07:32 Empath Gifts at Work 12:37 Energy Protection Rituals 16:37 Clearing After Sessions 19:03 Modalities and Ketamine 23:07 Safe Ketamine Journeys 28:28 Client Breakthrough Stories 30:55 Mantras and Life Lessons 32:50 Find Sheila and Closing

    Ep 35: 70-Pound Weight-Loss Journey using Hypnosis and GLP-1 Support

    Robyn interviews longtime friend Melissa about her lifelong struggle with body image, bullying starting in early elementary school, and cultural pressures around weight. Melissa is a Director in Learning & Development who has spent her career helping others grow, but her most profound transformation has been her own. A lifelong wellness advocate and former Zumba instructor of ten years, she is currently completing her PN1 Nutrition and Wellness Coaching certification to bridge the gap between body and mind. She lives with her husband and their two Frenchies, and when she’s not cracking the code on wellness using tools like hypnotherapy, you can find her solving her way out of an escape room. Melissa describes  feeling responsible for others’ emotions connected to empathic patterns and “protection weight.” Robyn explains her framework of safety, energetics, and subconscious beliefs, including coping behaviors that can start around age 14 and how nervous system safety affects weight.  Melissa shares feeling shame, failure, and restrictive diet cycles despite fitness and nutrition knowledge, and says her turning point was combining hypnosis (future pacing) with a GLP-1 medication, resulting in nearly 70 pounds lost over 17 months with minimal side effects and reduced “food noise.” They discuss stigma, medication optimization, compassion for the body, and giving yourself grace.   Contact Melissa at meeshatech@gmail.com   Contact Robyn: 250-212-7955 TikTok @RobynHolmHypnotherapist YouTube: @robynholmhypnotherapy IG: @robynholmhypnotherapy   Work with Robyn 1:1 by going to okhypnotherapy.com   Get Robyn’s FREE SafeBody Series Here: https://www.skool.com/robyn-holm-hypnotherapy-2618/about   Robyn’s ThrivingBody Membership (Weight Loss) includes Zoom call on 2nd Wednesday of every month, 6pm PT, class and Group Hypnosis recording, plus access to all previous Weight-Loss classes in the member portal. -$59/month, cancel anytime:  robynholm.com   ________________________________________________   00:00 Podcast Introduction   00:40 Meet Melissa   02:51 Melissa Background   03:58 Early Body Awareness   05:23 Bullying Memories   08:01 Coping And Support   10:19 Culture And Body Image   11:57 Empath And Protection Weight   17:56 Calories Shame And Beliefs   25:16 GLP One Turning Point   27:48 Future Pacing Breakthrough   32:12 No More Restrictive Diets   34:30 GLP-1 Benefits Explained   39:02 Stigma and Long Term Use   40:30 Safety and Body Readiness   42:31 Loving Yourself Into Change   46:23 Thriving Body Membership   48:18 Protection Weight and Fertility   51:46 Compassion for Your Body   53:11 Lessons and Closing Advice

    ep 34: Sleep Hypnosis for Empaths: Bubble of Protection for Deep Rest with Robyn Holm

    Host Robyn Holm introduces a sleep hypnosis episode for empaths who struggle with sleep due to deeply processing the day, sharing that this is her third sleep hypnosis and adapted from a popular TikTok video.  She recommends practicing hypnosis outside bedtime if sleep sessions feel activating and shares her own history of middle-of-the-night wakeups and dysregulation during her Zumba career. The hypnosis guides breathing, an eye-opening/closing countdown, deep relaxation, and a “bubble of protection” to release worries and fill with calming “liquid light,” ending with suggestions for safe, restful sleep.   Contact Robyn: 250-212-7955 TikTok @RobynHolmHypnotherapist YouTube: @robynholmhypnotherapy IG: @robynholmhypnotherapy   Work with Robyn 1:1 by going to okhypnotherapy.com   Get Robyn’s FREE SafeBody Series Here: https://www.skool.com/robyn-holm-hypnotherapy-2618/about     Robyn’s ThrivingBody Membership (Weight Loss) includes Zoom call on 2nd Wednesday of every month, 6pm PT, class and Group Hypnosis recording, plus access to all previous Weight-Loss classes in the member portal. -$59/month, cancel anytime:  robynholm.com       00:00 Welcome and Sleep Struggles   00:48 TikTok Live and Doing It Scared   02:03 Bubble Protection Preview   02:35 How to Practice Hypnosis   03:36 Personal Sleep Story   04:31 Connect and Support the Show   05:15 Hypnosis Starts

    Ep 33: From Anxiety to Empowerment: How Hypnosis Helps, with Hypnotherapist Andy Robson

    Host Robyn Holm interviews Glasgow-based hypnotherapist and Mindset Coach Andy Robson. Andy helps people regain control of their emotional state when it feels like someone or something else is running the show. After overcoming more than a decade of anxiety and attachment patterns himself, Andy rebuilt his life using the same principles he now teaches: nervous system regulation, thought retraining, and emotional self-command. He explains his daily self-hypnosis routine, how he uses anchoring and “stacking” for confidence, and why metaphors and nested stories bypass conscious resistance. Robyn shares her own long history with anxiety and postpartum anxiety and how Hypnosis helped.  Robyn and Andy discuss empathic traits, anxiety as thoughts and body chemistry, self-talk, nervous system regulation, and evidence-based questioning to stop spirals. Andy also previews his seven-day hypnosis program “Detach and Attract” for releasing unhealthy attachments.   Work with Andy: https://theandyrobson.com/ https://theandyrobson.com/detach-and-attract     Contact Robyn: 250-212-7955 TikTok @RobynHolmHypnotherapist YouTube: @robynholmhypnotherapy IG: @robynholmhypnotherapy   Work with Robyn 1:1 by going to okhypnotherapy.com   Get Robyn’s FREE SafeBody Series Here: https://www.skool.com/robyn-holm-hypnotherapy-2618/about   Robyn’s ThrivingBody Membership (Weight Loss) includes Zoom call on 2nd Wednesday of every month, 6pm PT, class and Group Hypnosis recording, plus access to all previous Weight-Loss classes in the member portal. -$59/month, cancel anytime:  https://www.skool.com/thrivingbody-membership-1418/about   Show Notes:   00:00 Podcast Intro   00:40 Meet Andy Robson   01:42 Andys Journey   05:00 Self Hypnosis Routine   07:05 Anchors And Stacking   10:51 Why Metaphors Work   12:26 Teddy Bear Story   19:37 Discovering Empathy   21:31 Anxiety Symptoms   23:54 Robins Anxiety Story   30:03 Finding Your Audience   30:42 Anxiety and Taboo   32:05 Self Talk Rewire   34:48 Chemistry and Histamine   36:50 Evidence Over Spirals   40:47 Helping Kids Regulate   43:14 Why Anxiety Exists   47:43 From Fear to Drive   48:51 Postpartum Anxiety Story   50:53 Future Focused Hypnosis   51:46 Unlocking Hidden Ability   54:26 Detach Attract Program   57:41 Where to Find Andy   58:26 Final Thanks and Outro

    Ep 32: Hypnosis for the Fear of Being Seen: Let Your Light Shine, with Robyn Holm

    In this episode, Robyn introduces a hypnosis session focused on the fear of being seen, described as the fear of putting yourself out there (especially online). She shares her own experience moving from live fitness and BodyTalk work into clinical hypnotherapy and needing to post video content, including a paralyzing fear of judgment, criticism, and offending others. After working with her own hypnotherapist and identifying an underlying belief about needing to be perfect and liked, she began posting videos and reframed visibility as resonating with the few people who need her message while others can scroll past. She explains the session’s intention—helping listeners feel safe to be seen, shine their unique light, and find their people—using metaphors and nested loops. She mentions free access to her SafeBody Hypnosis series on the Skool platform, her ThrivingBody membership (including support for empaths who carry extra weight, chronic fatigue, or autoimmune issues), and limited one-on-one work, and invites sharing the episode and leaving a five-star review. The guided hypnosis includes relaxation, eye-focus induction, a staircase deepener, and a forest journey with metaphors of a river, seeds on the wind, and a campfire beacon to reinforce that being seen means being clear rather than exposed. The listener repeats the affirmation “When I am myself, my people find me. My people recognize me,” anchors the feeling by pressing thumb and finger together, and is guided to awaken with confidence that it is safe to be themselves and to be seen.   Contact Robyn: 250-212-7955 TikTok @RobynHolmHypnotherapist YouTube: @robynholmhypnotherapy IG: @robynholmhypnotherapy   Work with Robyn 1:1 by going to okhypnotherapy.com   Get Robyn’s FREE SafeBody Series Here: https://www.skool.com/robyn-holm-hypnotherapy-2618/about     Robyn’s Thriving Body Membership (Weight Loss) includes Zoom call on 2nd Wednesday of every month, 6pm PT, class and Group Hypnosis recording, plus access to all previous Weight Loss classes in the member portal. -$59/month, cancel anytime:  https://www.skool.com/thrivingbody-membership-1418/about       00:00 Welcome + Why We Fear Being Seen (Explained Like a 3-Year-Old) 01:09 Robin’s Story: From Fitness Instructor to Online Video Fear 03:31 The Root Belief: Perfectionism, People-Pleasing, and Comment Anxiety 05:23 Reframe: The Internet Is Huge—You Only Need to Reach “Your People” 06:35 Why This Hypnosis Session Works: Solidarity, Metaphor, and Nested Loops 09:05 Ways to Go Deeper: Free Safe Body Series, Membership, and 1:1 Support 11:17 Hypnosis Begins: Settle In, Breathe, and Turn Sounds Into Relaxation 12:50 Deepening the Trance: Eye-Focus, Finger Snap, and Staircase Countdown 17:02 Forest Safety: No Performance, No Judgment—Your Body Learns ‘I Am Safe’ 18:43 River Lesson: Flow Without Explaining—Being Seen Means Being Clear 20:15 Seeds in the Wind: Release the Outcome and Let What’s Meant to Grow, Grow 21:26 Campfire Beacon: Stay Lit So the Right People Can Find You 24:52 Core Suggestion + Anchor: ‘When I Am Myself, My People Find Me’ 26:34 Return and Integration: Wake Up Confident, Safe, and Ready to Shine
