So you decided. No more shrinking, no more gray blazer version of you. You're going to show up as your full authentic self in business.

Then you get on the call and do it again anyway.

Deciding is not the same as being able to.

My guest this week is Michelle Lynn, a certified clinical hypnotherapist and breath work practitioner who spent 30+ years in the Navy and government service before she went looking for something more and found hypnotherapy.

She's also my client, so I'm particularly close to her story.

She explains why your affirmations aren't landing, why your conscious mind and your subconscious are not on the same page, and what to do in the actual moment when you feel yourself buttoning up on a sales call.
