Can't seem to make sense of what's happening inside you? All this time food is the only thing you can ever find solace in. You think you are a failure, other times you hear yourself that you are not good enough, at times you see the world like there is nothing good left for you. An ever-recurring feeling of desolation you can't grapple with is gripping you. Now, what's left for you to hope for? Let's face it, you are not alone in this. You are one of the many who suffers the same fate. But you know what will differentiate you from the rest of them? That's you taking action and them not doing anything. In January 2019, Mirvat Katib left corporate to pursue the unknown as a health and life coach and transform her life. It's a cliche and she knows. And even though she was working on herself she also started to help people along the way that are struggling just like her. Today she lost 30lbs in less than 6 months without starving herself. And she is now a Certified Health and Life Coach.

In this episode, learn about her journey to finding a healthy lifestyle that has given her insight into the many challenges one encounters enabling her to bring a high level of empathy, respect, and understanding towards those who are experiencing the same fate as hers. Reflect on her struggle of keeping it together while going through depression, finally acknowledging it and ultimately taking the bold step to break free from it. She is now a transformed person, but life always has a way of giving us surprises that always test us; learn about the growth mindset she imbibes that will have you always facing positivity amidst it all. To say that she has it all easy now is a misconception, for what she has now is a profound awareness and understanding of what truly makes her happy, obstacles, and challenges notwithstanding.

"I've never felt or looked as healthy as I do now. Even when playing sports and building muscle. I think of my lifestyle as self-care, which has led me to stop thinking that I have to, rather, I want to. The lesson here is to learn to listen to your body with love and to make choices that align with maintaining a healthy home for your body. Before changing what you eat, change your mindset and the rest will come." - Mirvat Katib

Family, indeed, is one element that is impacting our self-worth. Without even realizing it, sometimes a family member says things to another's detriment. It is not surprising that one listener's dilemma is about facing again her family after some time. The judgment, the unsavory remarks - just imagine all that, especially where body weight is concerned. It helps when you don't take things personally, and just think that some family members are just that. And being the 'educated' one who knows how to control what you say and think, there are ways to set your boundaries. Have someone support you; communicate in advance and let them know that you are going through tough times and ask them to avoid topics that would push the wrong button. If you are at some gathering and out of nowhere someone's nitpicking at your weight gain, tell them you understand their concern about your health and you are taking care of yourself. And then politely ask them to shun the topic. There is this other way where you practice all of what was mentioned to get it all out at once even before it is happening. That is, imagining before going to a party what everyone's likely to say and practicing your answer to all of what they would comment at you. This way you already face your fears and there's no way anymore to scare you once you face them in person. This is part of doing Hypnosis, facing the scariest thing you can imagine, getting down to it, and finally moving about with ease and freedom around what you are dreading about the most. Communicating your needs, your wants, and boundaries eloquently just helps for a natural flow of energy and support to come about. And Hypnosis helps you lead this path.

"We can not control what anybody else is thinking or saying, we can only control what we think or what we say." - Leslie Thornton

Topics Covered:

• Family as the number one factor impacting self-worth
• What you can do to help set boundaries
• How Hypnosis helps you deal with scenarios before it is happening
• We cannot control what other people will think and say, we can only control what we think or say

There are just many chatters our brain is telling us, and listening to them makes us in limbo that we do not know what to do. I know what you are going through. I was once there where you are now. Not completely sure about what to do with losing weight. At one point you are all powered up to religiously follow your diet only to end up at night bingeing on your favorite cookie and whatnot. You thought you had it all prepared for, cutting up your fruits and vegetables so that when hunger pangs hit, they're just there, ready to grab and eat lest you look for something else which is an absolute no-no for your diet. You listen on podcasts - everything about dieting and losing weight, you've taken everything there is to take note of, you've watched on Facebook every diet you can name about. Yes, losing weight, less food, and more exercise. You've been obsessing on that….to no avail. And you ask, 'Why can I not be like them, why can I not seem to lose weight, what's wrong with me?' There are just plenty of thoughts running through your mind, but you have to remember that you are not your thoughts. Your experiences, your childhood, your upbringing, your religious beliefs, and your education all influence what you are thinking right now. The thought that you can't do it and that nobody else understands you are just all in your mind. All of this is telling you something and adds up to that mental chatter feeding your mind.

Yes, you can break free from your own mental shackles. The first thing you should do is accept the fact that what you've been doing isn't just helping. You've got to face your truth, something way deeper than just obsessing about losing weight should happen. All you have to do is take action. Hypnosis for permanent weight loss helps you get unstuck in some areas of your life that is probably giving you the reason for not meeting your goal.

When we talk about cancer most of those I've talked to are scared about getting it and they've been thinking that bad eating habits are the main reason for getting it. Those that have it before are obsessed with eating healthy for fear of any recurrence. You see, our attitude towards things like these come from scary thoughts of having them. I have this to tell you that I have known a cancer patient who has been told to not live any longer but told the doctor that he won't do chemotherapy and instead enjoy life for his remaining days. Thinking he had nothing to lose he tried out the most dangerous sport you could ever think of. He was truly overjoyed about it, and he won the battle over the big C. Another story is that of a woman who has been living a healthy life - from her food choice to meditation habits to daily exercises, and everything you can think about keeping fit and healthy. But one day she got tumor in her abdomen and advised to be operated on. Wanting to exhaust all-natural remedies she embarked on an herbal healing route and what did it all was when she went to a massage therapist and went on a process of actually going to her past and digging the trauma and ill- feelings she must have felt towards her parents. When she finally got to resolve it and forgave her parents, that's when the tumor started downsizing until it was completely gone. Another thing is that we have this thinking that when we gain weight we are bad. That's why we try our might to completely avoid food that adds up to that. This way, we tend to control our lives in ways that will only lead us to be restrictive about everything and gets us frustrated.

As with the stories above, evidence of happiness and freedom feeling is reinforced. Those who spontaneously heal from these deadly diseases are the ones who let go of fear, lets life just be, enjoying it and not worrying a thing and understanding about where you are coming from and it's clearly not at all about control. I know this is not easy, that's why my hypnosis for permanent weight loss is not only for this purpose alone. It is for one's self-actualization, breaking free and letting go. My work is not for a temporary solution, it is giving you tools to live a long-term happy life. It is having all areas of your life work together so you are free from mental baggage and fears that are holding you back from being healthy and being your authentic self. If you are ready, I am here, we can journey together.

"I have a firm belief that if people are not happy, and they're not living out their most authentic truths to themselves, that the likelihood of their dying early is much greater." - Leslie Thornton

Topics Covered:

• Scary thought of cancer because of bad eating habits
• A firm belief that if people are not happy then they're gonna die young
• Evidence of happiness and freedom feeling can heal the body
• Dr. Joe Dispenza's study with what brought about the spontaneous remission of cancer patients
• Becoming your authentic self and breaking the norm
• Self-actualization
• Control versus letting go
• Get unstuck and be free

This episode stems from a question a listener sent that goes, "A lot of our work is overeating based on a deep-rooted need that needs to be fulfilled. So many of us are a work in progress and I'm sure your listeners are, especially, what do we do if we quote do the thing, a.k.a. overeat, drink too much, indulge on too much cake, bingeing on mac and cheese in front of the fridge. devour a whole pizza, skip the gym. So Many of us are black and white thinkers and catastrophize. How do we quickly recover from it so we don't continue on that pattern of negative self-talk and negative outcomes.? I have a few tools now. But I'm thinking back to when I was a listener only." A lot of us do not know that most of the over-indulgence we have towards food stems from an emotion, from a thought that we want us numbed out. We do what we do completely unaware of the reason for which we do it. We just think that is just how it is. Hanna Hermanson, in my interview with her the previous episode had her tools shared out. But, just the same I am giving you my own. As a lot of our notion around food comes from a deep-seated emotion that is not being addressed at its root, the first thing we need to consider is self-awareness. Once we know where we are coming from, then, things don't come from a controlling perspective but one with compassion towards ourselves. This comes with the understanding that food is not bad or good, and we are not bad or good, either. It's also about staying in the present and confronting those scary thoughts and emotions we place ourselves in and totally coming out of it.

Whatever voices our head tells us, we can always have an attitude of reparenting it, so to speak. Soothing those voices out kind of gets us into the process of easing things out, into rewiring our brain for better results. That is what we term as neuroplasticity.

Sure, things are hard at the start but things just get better as you face it every day. This is what the process of Hypnosis does to you. It can help you with your emotional mastery as you navigate your way around dealing with food and some other problems associated with it. If you're ready to take action, I am here. We can always talk.

"There are no morals in food. You are not good or bad. Food is not good or bad. It's the meaning that you add to it. That's what equals what's happening to your emotional state which can cause unnecessary and lots of overindulging, or eating."

- Leslie Thornton

Topics Covered:

• Understanding the root cause of overeating
• Self-Awareness. How it brings with it clarity and inspired action-taking.
• Reparenting. Having loving compassion towards ourselves, trusting that voice, and following those desires to be at peace and happy again.
• Neuroplasticity. Changing how our brains are wired to get new results, BETTER results.
• Hard at the start, but it's just gonna get BETTER afterward

How do you want to be remembered? How do you like living your life in self-awareness, self-acceptance, freedom, and self-love? When you are just obsessing about being thin and all you think about is getting that perfect body, that surely is not a good touchpoint to live a meaningful and enjoyable life. When you exist each day and are restricted from the rules you place around yourself and your food, then you can't place your energy on something else that will allow you to have a significant contribution to other people. Happiness is never being hard on yourself. Permanent weight loss happens when there is a natural balance happening in your world because you get past putting morality on food and you allow openness to ride the waves of life. Hanna Hermanson, by her admittance, is a lady who had a good life. She grew up in a small town in Wisconsin. She was Class President, she dated a football jock, got into a good college, did well there, got the cubicle job for retirement. She had a Toyota Corolla. She was doing all the right things and yet was empty inside. She never took a minute to think about who she wanted to be or what she wanted to achieve or where she was trying to go. She enrolled in a fitness regimen, she liked what it has done to her body but still, something was missing. As she would tell, it was always because she didn't have a purpose. She thought to chase the scale, or the finish line or the number of calories on her fitness app was her only goal every day or every month. She didn't have anything bigger to work towards.

In this episode, Hanna shares with us her journey of opening herself to the world and setting aside the thought that life is all about her and her daily routine. She imparts to us the many lessons she's learned about food and the struggles that go with it. Not to be discounted are the tools that help her deal with occasional, what she termed as ED or eating disorder. Added to that are her travel stories, the things she did outside of her comfort zone, serving other people in other countries, starting a business, and other amazing life lessons she's gained along her journey towards self-awareness and self-love.

"I want to come back to this idea that moving through this work and learning these things, it's really about self-awareness, self-acceptance, and self-love so that I'm strong enough in my choices around food, but everything else, the noise outside matters so much less."

- Hanna Hermanson

When do we often fall off-track from our self-care and gain weight? Oftentimes these events like death, divorce, starting a relationship, or ending it, difficult pregnancies, giving birth, and a lot more are triggers for weight to shoot up. For fear of whatever reason, we assume people will not come to us and hold us in high esteem once they would find our vulnerability. For some of us, we don't like bothering others with our own problems as we don't want to add up to any load they are already carrying by listening to our own. Other times we don't like sharing what is bottled up inside since we don't have the habit of just letting it all out with anyone. Nothing wrong with it. These feelings are just all normal and they are facts of life. But we have to understand that these emotions should need a safe outlet with which you can express all things out. Because what happens when these are all just internalized is, it would show up in ways more unhealthy; overeating is one way of coping with it. It's numbing that pain that you fail to process and get settled with. Most often than not, the person who experiences this doesn't know this is the reason for that. This podcast comes at a perfect time when we need to deal with these circumstances in life without feeling shame and guilt. Particularly, Hypnosis has a way of confronting this emotion by feeling the pain, acknowledging it, and ultimately feeling a safer sense of awareness and freedom around food without having to fear it would make you gain those unwanted pounds. It is about feeling the scariest thing your thought has imagined, letting it go, and finally envisioning your dream of happiness, fulfillment, and contentment.

"You will have absolute and total freedom around food and around all hard areas of your life. All you have to do is step up, be ready to do what it takes, including feel into the things that scare you the most and make a change." - Leslie Thornton

What you will learn from this episode:

• The time people fall off track from their self-care and gain weight
• Reasons why it is during this time we fail to live up
• What happens if we keep emotions to ourselves
• Feel the pain to get through it and not just numb it with food
• With awareness is the ultimate freedom
• Emotional mastery is the key

There is something about sugar that we fear about. Rightly so, because research says it's more addicting than heroin or cocaine. I used to buy that idea before but not anymore, the reason is that Science proves it is easy to digest and metabolize sugar than it is to metabolize alcohol or any kind of drugs. Most often than not, diets involve not consuming much sugar. When you exercise, it is best accompanied by not eating sugar-laden food. Apart from sugar in fruits, you make sure there is nothing more than that. That makes life so restrictive. And when you tell yourself to stay away from sugar, your subconscious mind tells you to have it. And it's a never-ending tug of war between what you really want and what it calls you to do for your body's sake. And if this is how things roll out every day for you, putting morality on food, that it is bad or not good for you, it would never amount to anything.

Permanent weight loss happens when you give yourself permission to just enjoy what you do, in this case, eating sugar and be at peace with the thought that you are aware of what it's gonna do for you and your health. This all amounts to awareness and intention. Whatever you do should come from a place of love for yourself and not fear for something that restricts you instead to be in the moment.

This is where hypnosis helps in permanent weight loss, giving you the freedom to enjoy eating without feeling the guilt that you might get unwanted pounds or the shame that you have a body not everyone finds desirable or the fear nobody would want you for gaining extra pounds. It is about living your truth with the choice which you find best for you. When you don't subject yourself to the rigidity of a plan that's when abundance kicks in and self-awareness thrives.

"When you think positive thoughts, you feel a positive way in your body and you don't need the food to numb you, you just need the food to exist." - Leslie Thornton

What you will learn from this episode:

• The Science about sugar. Why is it not more addicting than heroin or cocaine contrary to what research says?
• The need to start from scary thoughts that you're avoiding
• Picture-perfect body and point of health versus freedom and the ability to relax and be at peace, enjoying food and family at the moment
• How to be unstuck in food prison, in constantly thinking about dieting and exercising
• The false sense of safety diet plans and the structure around it gives us
• The truth that you want to believe will make you happy and set you free
• What matters is your choice makes you feel best
• How does morality in food make you feel bad about it
• What is it like to give your body more ultimate health even when you have more weight
• Motivation coming from something positive and good and not anything other than that
• Having compassion to yourself on your way to success
