    83. Healing Pain Through the Subconscious with Jim Curtis | Part 1

    What if the key to healing decades of chronic pain lies not in your conscious mind, but in the 95% of consciousness you're not even accessing? In this transformative episode of Why Isn't Everyone Doing This?, Emily dives deep with Jim Curtis, a transformational coach, master hypnotherapist, and author. Jim's story reads like a spiritual adventure novel: from getting hypnotized on national TV with Dr. Brian Weiss, to seeking healing from Ecuadorian shamans in the East Village, to finally accessing a quantum healing session that eliminated his pain completely and allowed him to stop taking 40mg of nicotine gum daily. 💡 In This Episode, We Explore: ✨ How Jim accessed his subconscious to heal 20 years of chronic pain in one session ✨ The profound difference between wallowing in pain versus moving through it with purpose ✨ Why visualization is the language of the subconscious mind ✨ How bringing deceased loved ones into meditation can heal generational trauma ✨ The power of the "I AM" state and accessing infinite energy ✨ Why forgiveness of self is often the master key to transformation Jim reveals how he now helps others transform their lives by teaching them to make their subconscious mind their playground, using techniques like hypnosis, NLP, and quantum healing to release limiting beliefs and reprogram reality itself. 🔥 Ready to discover what's possible when you tap into the 95% of your mind that's actually running the show?

    82. Turning Your Vision Board Into Reality with John Assaraf

    What if the difference between dreaming and achieving comes down to one simple question? In this game-changing episode of Why Isn't Everyone Doing This?, Emily sits down with John Assaraf, brain science expert, NY Times bestselling author, and featured teacher from The Secret, to uncover the real science behind manifestation and why most people unconsciously block their own success. John's story is remarkable: from troubled teen facing jail time to building multi-million dollar companies. All because one mentor asked him: "Are you interested in achieving your goals, or are you committed?" This single question reveals the key difference between those who manifest their dreams and those who stay stuck. 💡 In This Episode, We Explore: ✨ The neuroscience behind self-sabotage (and how to stop it) ✨ How John manifested buying the exact house from his vision board, without knowing where it was ✨ Wave theory and how thoughts collapse possibilities into reality ✨ The difference between "interested" and "committed" mindsets ✨ Why upgrading your identity is essential for lasting change ✨ John's live coaching session with Emily on blocks around love John breaks down complex neuroscience into practical steps, showing how to reprogram limiting beliefs stored in your subconscious and create coherence between your conscious desires and unconscious patterns. This isn't just positive thinking. It's brain training backed by quantum physics, neuroscience, and decades of real-world results.
