"Self-hypnosis is meditation with a goal.” – Shonda Howard

Shonda Howard (@shondahoward_) is a hypnotherapist and coach who helps people create the life they want by mastering their subconscious. She kindly gave me a 1 to 1 session a couple of weeks before the podcast, and the results from the work I’ve done since have been nothing short of extraordinary!

In 2016, Shonda decided she needed to make a shift in her life. She was in her late 30’s, single in New York, dating the same loser over and over, and planning to die alone in her apartment with 10 cats. With the help of the coach, she managed to turn things around, and in just 6 months, she had managed to attract her husband, Brian! They now have a wonderful boy called Charlie.

It’s an uplifting story and Shonda has kindly provided listeners a self-hypnosis guide. It’s a tool she uses with her clients and I can personally vouch for how powerful it is! You can find it at shondahoward.com/free. 

In our wide-ranging conversation, we discuss working through the fear of not being happy; how to attract the ‘one’; how to do a self-hypnosis session in your own time and what this might look like; and so much more!

You can find Shonda at the following:
