Shownotes

In this powerful conversation, bestselling author Amy Koford, "The Happy Hypnotist," shares her remarkable journey from darkness to purpose. After years of struggling with what appeared to be depression, Amy discovered her condition was actually hormonal—a diagnosis that took a naturalistic MD to finally recognize. Her story takes a dramatic turn as she reveals how she nearly died from an implanted medical device, an experience that deepened her understanding of how fear literally damages our bodies and limits our lives.

Amy opens up about finding her true calling in hypnosis and the transformative effects it has on her clients, particularly when traditional therapy moves too slowly or simply isn't enough. We explore the deep wounds left by religious trauma, including the self-doubt and self-deprecation that many carry for years. Throughout our conversation, Amy illuminates a path forward—one that honors our innate capacity to heal and thrive.

Author of "Hardwired to Rise: Live Fearless, Prosperously, and Optimally," Amy offers practical wisdom for anyone ready to release fear's grip and step into their fullest potential. This is a conversation about resilience, truth-telling, and the courage to rise.
