Grace Smith (@gracesmithtv) is a celebrity hypnotherapist and the author of the just-released sure-to-be bestseller, Close Your Eyes, Get Free. If you’re skeptical about hypnosis, trust me— was too.  Then I worked with Grace on my fear of flying, and read into some of the science behind the very misunderstood practice, and now, well, I’m a believer.  In this episode, we get into the nitty gritty of how hypnosis actually works, how it compares to meditation, some of Grace’s biggest client success stories, how she used hypnosis to quit smoking, and more. Grace also shares her very personal birth story, and how she thought that as a hypnosis guru her birth would be low key, relaxed and magical—but it was anything. She talks about what happened and how the trauma of this changed her approach to hypnosis forever.  Stay tuned for the end, where Grace does a hypnosis session for stress relief.

Enjoy!

This episode is brought to you by CW Hemp.  I’m extremely picky about the supplements that I choose to use and CW Hemp’s full-spectrum hemp extract is one of just a handful that I take daily.  By interacting with our cannabinoid receptors (which are all over our body—it’s crazy, and definitely worth a Google!), I find it super helpful in relieving stress and helping me sleep better and longer at night.  I typically go for the middle strength mint chocolate, but the unflavored is also great for recipes, like this Lavender Hot Chocolate (which would also be great iced in the summer time!).  If you’d lke to try CW Hemp for yourself, you can get 10% off your order using the code “healthiertogether.”  Visit cwhemp.com/healthiertogether for more details, and if you have any questions (I LOVE talking about this stuff), don’t hesitate to reach out to me on Instagram!
