No, I can't make you cluck like a chicken.

That's the first thing a lot of people picture when I say I do hypnosis. A stage show. Someone "under," out of control.

Here's what it actually is.

Hypnosis is a state of focused attention and relaxation. You're not asleep. You're not unconscious. You're aware the whole time, and you stay in control. You could open your eyes and stop whenever you wanted.

What it does is help you become a little more open to new ways of thinking... so you can work on a habit, a reaction, or a pattern you'd like to change.

That's it. No swinging watch. No secrets pulled out of you. Just focused, relaxed attention, with you in the driver's seat the whole time.

Save this for the next time someone tells you hypnosis is mind control. And if you've ever been curious how it actually feels, tell me below — I'll answer.

What if everything you were taught about anger was wrong?

Most of us learned to suppress it. Apologize for it. Pretend it wasn't there.

The Reframing Anger Summit is a different conversation — free, audio-only, and built for people who actually have lives.

15-minute talks. All of October. Listen anywhere.

And yes — some of it applies directly to business. Because
emotional patterns don't clock out when you open your laptop.

Here’s a little tip for something you’ve been putting off:

Don’t wait until you feel completely ready.

Pick the smallest version of the thing you can do — and do that.

If you’ve been avoiding making a video, record a 30-second one.

If you’ve been meaning to reach out to someone, send one message.

If you’ve been thinking about trying something new, take one small step toward it.

We sometimes think confidence has to come first.

But often, confidence comes AFTER we take the action and realize, “Hey, I can do this.”

What’s one thing you’ve been putting off that you could take a small step toward today?

Sometimes you know exactly what you want next.

You’ve thought about it.
You’ve imagined what it could look like.
Maybe you’ve even talked yourself into it… and then right back out again.

Because then the questions start.

What if it doesn’t work?
What if I make the wrong choice?
What if I’m not ready?
What will other people think?

Here’s the thing:

You don’t have to feel completely confident before you take the first step.

Sometimes confidence comes AFTER you move.

You try something.
You learn something.
You adjust.
And little by little, the path becomes clearer.

So if there’s something you’ve been thinking about doing, ask yourself:

**What’s one small step I could take toward it today?**

Not the whole plan.

Just the next step. ❤️

Sometimes the hardest question isn’t:
“What should I do next?”

It’s:
“What do I actually WANT next?”

We spend so much of our lives doing what needs to be done:
• Building careers
• Running businesses
• Raising families
• Taking care of other people
• Checking things off the list

And then something changes.

Maybe the kids are grown. Maybe you’re retiring or changing careers. Maybe the business you built doesn’t excite you the way it once did. Or maybe you simply realize you want something different.

Suddenly, there’s a new question:

“What do I want this next part of my life to look like?”

Sometimes you don’t know yet.

And sometimes… you DO know.

But fear, uncertainty, or self-doubt keeps talking you out of it.

What if you didn’t have to have the whole thing figured out?

What if you just started by asking:

“What would I love to do next?”

I’d love to hear your answer. ❤️

It’s Friday. 😊

Did you do the thing you said you were going to do this week?

Post the video.
Make the call.
Follow up with the lead.
Reach out to the potential client.
Go to the networking event.

Or did you tell yourself, “I’ll do it next week”?

Sometimes we know exactly what we need to do to grow our business — and we still don’t do it.

That doesn’t always mean you need a better strategy.

Sometimes fear, self-doubt, overthinking, or perfectionism is quietly getting in the way.

So before you close out the week, ask yourself:

**What’s ONE business-building action I’ve been avoiding that I can take today?**

It doesn’t have to be big.

Take the step. Then let yourself feel good about taking it. 💕
