Rebecca Wiener McGregor has spent nearly two decades helping people break through fear, heal trauma, and step fully into their own power. A certified hypnotist, coach, and educator, she reveals how hypnosis can be a fast, transformative way to release anxiety, rewrite limiting beliefs, and reconnect with your true self. We talk about what hypnosis really is (and isn’t), how it can dissolve the emotional residue that holds people back, and why embracing your “full self” leads to more joy, abundance, and trust in every area of life. Rebecca also shares her own journey from social anxiety to running a thriving practice with clients around the world, and why setting clear standards, not just boundaries, is essential for living a life that feels sacred and aligned.
