What if the stories we tell ourselves — and the ones the world tells us — are the real hypnosis?

In this mind-expanding conversation, I sit down with certified hypnotherapist, life coach, leukemia survivor, and former EMT/firefighter Peter McLaughlin of BlueSky Hypnosis.

We dive deep into the hidden power of myth and hypnotism, Carl Jung’s archetypes, the red-pill philosophy of The Matrix, modern psyops, and how the subconscious mind shapes everything from personal healing to collective control. Peter brings his unique blend of clinical expertise, real-world experience running a security company, and spiritual insight to reveal how we can reclaim our minds and transform our lives from the inside out.

Whether you're fascinated by the psychology of influence, curious about subconscious healing, or simply ready to break free from limiting patterns, this episode will leave you seeing the world — and yourself — in a whole new light.

Tune in now and discover how ancient myths, modern media, and the power of hypnosis all connect in the ultimate game of mind and reality.

So often when we come across young writers, they have their heads in the sky about a topic but dont have the knwoledge to write the darn thing! Greer Nadeau is not that- she is witty, erudite and wants you to hear about her take on one of the most classic stories from Antiquity- The Pursuit of Daphne by Apollo! In her version, Apollo and Daphne are certainly star crossed but she layers the story with insights on the deeper life of Daphne-who was she to her loved ones, where did she come from, and why did history silence so much of her side of the tale. Its a fascinating talk! #Trend with us
