Tara shares how hypnosis works from both a practical and scientific lens, including how early life experiences shape subconscious beliefs, how natural hypnotic states happen throughout the day, and why affirmations can be so powerful when used at the right moments.They also dive into the deeper roots of anxiety, imposter syndrome, and the lifelong search for validation, revealing how so much healing begins with rebuilding self-love and redefining what it means to be “enough.” This episode is a beautiful reminder that healing is possible, your past does not disqualify you, and the more you trust yourself, the more freely you can show up in your truth.In this episode, we cover:- Why calmness is a form of strength- How hypnosis and the subconscious mind work- The link between anxiety, identity, and self-worth- Why affirmations matter more than most people realize- How to love past versions of yourself and find purpose in your growthConnect with Tara Faithful:Instagram: www.instagram.com/thegreatnurturerWebsite: www.Thegreatnurturer.comYouTube: https://youtube.com/@thegreatnurturerLinkedin: www.linkedin.com/in/tara-faithful-44778420Chapters
