The conversation explores Kathy’s diverse background, ranging from her work as a massage therapist to her success as a trapeze artist and her appearances on platforms like TEDx and Dr. Phil. The discussion focuses on practical strategies for navigating stress in a high-pressure world, emphasizing the importance of mindfulness and the "mini-meditation". Kathy shares her insights on how to interrupt the stress response in real-time, the power of visualization, and the necessity of finding joy and play in everyday life. Ryan and Kathy also dive into the mechanics of belief and how our internal narratives dictate our physical and emotional health, offering listeners a grounded approach to reclaiming their sense of agency. Key Takeaways & Meaningful Quotes "Stress isn't what happens to us; it's our reaction to what happens to us. When you realize that, you realize you have the power to change the entire experience just by changing your breath.""I do trapeze because it forces me to be 100% present. You can't be worried about your taxes when you're flying through the air. We all need that thing that demands our full presence.""The ego wants to keep us safe by keeping us small and afraid. My work is about helping people realize that safety is actually found in growth, movement, and the willingness to be seen."How to Connect and Work with Us Connect with Kathy Gruver: Kathy offers coaching, keynote speaking, and a variety of books and resources focused on stress reduction and personal development.

    Jonathan Altfeld: The Architecture of Belief and Linguistic Mastery

    In this episode of AWAKEN with Ryan DeJonghe, Ryan welcomes Jonathan Altfeld, an internationally recognized NLP trainer and consultant known for his deep expertise in the technical and structural side of Neurolinguistic Programming. Moving away from traditional hypnosis, the conversation focuses on Jonathan’s specialized work in belief installation and the precise linguistic patterns that drive human behavior. Jonathan discusses his evolution within the field, emphasizing that many of our current challenges are actually outdated compensatory habits—behaviors that served us in the past but have now become blockages. They explore the importance of precision in communication, the difference between cognitive understanding and neurological change, and why Jonathan believes that no one is ever truly stuck; they are simply running a program that hasn't been updated yet. This episode provides a masterclass in the "NLP guy’s" perspective on how to deconstruct the architecture of one's own mind to create lasting, systemic change. Key Takeaways & Meaningful Quotes "We learn our compensatory habits to cope with current circumstances. And then, without noticing it, circumstances shift. And now we've got a habit that's not serving us anymore, and we feel stuck. And no one is ever truly stuck." "If you change a belief, the behavior changes automatically. Most people spend their lives trying to change behaviors while keeping the old beliefs in place, which is like trying to drive a car with the handbrake on." "NLP isn't about being 'positive.' It’s about being accurate. When you get accurate about how you are representing the world to yourself, you suddenly find you have a lot more choices than you did five minutes ago." How to Connect and Work with Us Connect with Jonathan Altfeld: Jonathan offers advanced NLP training, business consulting, and specialized workshops on belief change and linguistic influence.

    Sean Michael Andrews: Rapid Induction and the Legacy of the World’s Fastest Hypnotist

    In this episode of AWAKEN with Ryan DeJonghe, Ryan is joined by Sean Michael Andrews, widely recognized as the world’s fastest hypnotist. Sean shares his journey into the art of rapid induction, discussing how he transitioned from a fascination with the mechanics of the mind to mastering the techniques that allow for nearly instantaneous hypnotic states. The conversation explores the practical applications of speed in both street hypnosis and clinical settings, emphasizing that rapid inductions are not just for show but serve as a powerful way to bypass the analytical mind quickly. Sean discusses his passion for teaching others how to use these tools ethically and effectively, his experiences traveling the globe to train the next generation of practitioners, and his philosophy on the profound value of helping people heal themselves through the "coolest thing ever"—hypnosis. Key Takeaways & Meaningful Quotes "I remember the first time I did a rapid induction on someone and they just dropped. I realized then that the conscious mind is just a gatekeeper, and if you know how to knock correctly, the door opens immediately.""Being a hypnotist is doing the coolest thing ever. Entertaining people is great, but helping people heal themselves with hypnosis is a truly valuable thing to do on this earth.""The speed isn't about the ego of the hypnotist; it's about the efficiency of the change. When you can move someone into that state in seconds, you have so much more time to do the actual work that matters."How to Connect and Work with Us Connect with Sean Michael Andrews: Sean offers world-class training in rapid induction, street hypnosis, and clinical applications through his various courses and live demonstrations.

    Cassie Clouser: Archetypal Branding and the Power of Becoming

    In this episode of AWAKEN with Ryan DeJonghe, Ryan explores the intersection of identity and business with Cassie Clouser, an archetypal branding strategist and the founder of Magnetic Branding. Shifting away from clinical hypnosis, this interview dives into the world of brand psychology, where Cassie explains how she uses universal archetypes to help entrepreneurs build authentic and resonant professional identities. The conversation focuses on the "Magnetic Branding" framework, which moves beyond simple logos and color palettes to address the core "soul" of a business. Cassie details her use of branding archetypes—such as the Sage, the Hero, or the Explorer—to create a consistent and attractive brand story that aligns with a founder's true self. They discuss the transition from asking "who am I?" to "who do I get to become?", highlighting how a well-defined brand serves as a catalyst for personal and professional growth. Key Takeaways & Meaningful Quotes "Archetypes are the shortcut to the unconscious. When you align your brand with an archetype, you aren't just selling a service; you are inviting people into a story they already understand and trust.""Most people approach branding as a mask they put on to attract customers. I look at it as the process of taking the masks off until the true, magnetic essence of the founder is what’s actually leading the business.""Instead of asking who you are, ask: who do I get to become? Your brand should be a vision of your future self that you are stepping into every single day."How to Connect and Work with Us Connect with Cassie Clouser: Cassie helps entrepreneurs and companies discover their brand archetypes to create a magnetic presence in their industry.

    Joanne Carvalho: Navigating the Gateway to Soul

Joanne Carvalho discusses her role as the founder of Gateway to Soul, where she focuses on helping individuals reconnect with their essence and understand the deeper messages their lives are presenting. The discussion emphasizes that Joanne is not a hypnotist or NLP practitioner; instead, her work is centered on spiritual intuition and helping people find clarity through their own inner guidance. She shares how her journey has led her to support others in opening their own "gateways" to the soul, facilitating a deeper relationship with the self and the universe. Topics include the power of presence, the role of vulnerability in healing, and how to trust the intuitive nudges that lead us toward a more fulfilling and connected life. Key Takeaways & Meaningful Quotes "I don't think of myself as doing something to people. I'm just holding the space and opening a door so they can see what’s already inside them that they might have forgotten was there.""The soul doesn't speak in a loud voice; it speaks in whispers, in feelings, and in those moments of quiet that we usually try to fill with noise. My job is to help people get quiet enough to finally hear it.""When you finally step through that gateway, you realize that all the searching you were doing on the outside was just a way to avoid looking at the immense beauty and power you’ve been carrying within you all along."How to Connect and Work with Us Connect with Joanne Carvalho: Joanne offers intuitive guidance and spiritual support through Gateway to Soul, helping individuals navigate their personal journeys with clarity and grace.

    Philip H. Farber: Ritual Magick, Neuroscience, and the Meta-Magick System

    In this episode of AWAKEN with Ryan DeJonghe, Ryan explores the intersection of ritual, consciousness, and neurolinguistics with Philip H. Farber, a master hypnotist and licensed NLP trainer with over 30 years of experience. Phil is the creator of Meta-Magick, a system that blends traditional magical practices with contemporary neuroscience to help individuals "reprogram" their own neurological experience. The conversation centers on Phil’s book, Brain Magick, and his philosophy that magical invocation is essentially a "ritual technology" for accessing peak states of consciousness. Phil explains how he uses NLP to deconstruct ancient rituals into practical, repeatable exercises that allow anyone—from novices to adepts—to take control of their own internal "story". They discuss the "Way of Woohoo," the role of intentionality in change, and how to use the body and breath to anchor transformative states of mind. Key Takeaways & Meaningful Quotes "The core of the work is asking yourself: how much do you want your own story to rock? If you can get the brain to say 'Woohoo' to a new possibility, the old limitations start to lose their grip on your reality.""Magick is essentially the art and science of changing your own internal state on purpose. We use rituals not because they are 'supernatural,' but because they are highly effective ways to speak to the unconscious mind in a language it actually understands.""Invocation is about bringing a specific quality or entity into your current field of awareness. Whether you call it a 'spirit' or a 'neurological resource,' the result is the same: you become more capable, more passionate, and more present."How to Connect and Work with Us Connect with Philip H. Farber: Phil maintains a private practice in New York's Hudson Valley and offers workshops and training in NLP, hypnosis, and Meta-Magick.

    Lance Baker: Beyond Hypnosis and into the Branches of Healing

    In this episode of AWAKEN with Ryan DeJonghe, Ryan connects with Lance Baker, a multi-modality healer and teacher based in Australia. Lance shares his journey from traditional hypnotherapy to developing a broader, more holistic approach that incorporates elements of Qi Gong, energy work, and ancestral healing. The conversation focuses on Lance’s "Branches of Healing" philosophy, where he emphasizes that the mind is only one part of the recovery process. Lance explains how he uses "Akasha Talks" to bridge the gap between logical, scientific understanding and the more intuitive, spiritual aspects of healing. They dive into the importance of body awareness, the role of the nervous system in trauma, and why Lance believes that true transformation often requires stepping outside the clinical room and into the natural flow of life. Key Takeaways & Meaningful Quotes "I stopped calling myself just a hypnotist when I realized that the body often remembers what the mind has worked very hard to forget. You have to work with both if you want the change to stick.""Healing isn't about fixing something that's broken; it's about clearing the static so you can hear your own internal guidance again. We are all just trying to get back to our natural state of flow.""If you only talk to the conscious mind, you're just rearranging the furniture. When you work with the energy of the person, you're actually changing the foundation of the house."How to Connect and Work with Us Connect with Lance Baker: Lance offers clinical sessions, online workshops, and deep-dive training into Qi Gong and advanced healing modalities.

Carlos discusses his journey through various modalities of change, focusing on how we can bridge the gap between our current selves and our highest potential by understanding the internal structures of success. The conversation dives into the heart of the Authenticity Show, exploring what it truly means to live a life aligned with one's core values.

From deconstructing the "strategy of excellence" to navigating the vulnerable path of personal discovery, Carlos offers a grounded and sophisticated look at how we can rewrite our internal programming to live more authentically. Key Takeaways & Meaningful Quotes "Modeling is the heart of everything I do. It’s not just about copying what a person does; it’s about figuring out how they perceive the world so clearly that success becomes the only logical outcome for them.""Authenticity isn't a destination you arrive at; it’s a constant process of stripping away the layers of who you thought you had to be to survive, until all that’s left is the truth of who you actually are.""When we work with sacred medicines or deep hypnotic states, we are essentially opening a window into the soul. The real work isn't just the 'journey' itself, but the integration—how you bring that light back into your everyday life on Monday morning."How to Connect and Work with Us Connect with Carlos Casados: Carlos offers a range of services from high-performance coaching and NLP training to guided integration work for transformative experiences.
