Feeling inadequate, not included, or purposeless usually makes us ask why we are like this or make the choices we make. The problem with asking "why" is an endless path. We'll discover we react in a certain way because we were conditioned to, and then we'll ask why those who conditioned us did it, which will lead to answering another why, and then another, and another. 

Instead, we should look at what is not serving us and think of how we could do those things differently. 

Today, Ewa Josefsson joins us to shed her inspiring and calming energy, to talk about her own self-discovery journey, and how she allowed her imagination to draw the guidelines of her life. Ewa is a Certified Hypnotherapist Practitioner, Yoga and Meditation Teacher, and Loving Mom.  

We delve into Ewa's childhood, her challenging upbringing feeling that something was wrong with her, and the life-changing journalism internship in New York that changed her life. We talk about the power of our imagination, the limiting beliefs we grow up hardwired with, our constant search for safety and pleasure and its consequences, and the pendulum swinging we all go through when we try to change our lives. We also talk about hypnosis, how hypnotherapy works, and the programming of our subconscious minds.
