You’ve Done the Therapy. You Know Better. So Why Are You Still Doing It?

🎙️Carrie On! You’ve done the therapy. Read the books. Built the career. Raised the kids. Checked all the boxes. So… why are you STILL doing that thing you know you don’t want to do? In this episode of Carrie On!, Carrie sits down with clinical hypnotherapist, coach and energy healer Christina L. Woods to explore what happens when knowing better doesn’t necessarily mean feeling or doing better. Christina spent 30 years in the corporate world before burnout, the end of a 25-year marriage, anxiety and a major personal reckoning forced her to ask a life-changing question: When are you going to stop doing what everyone else wants you to do and do what makes YOU happy? And yes, we’re talking hypnotherapy — but nobody is swinging a pocket watch or making you cluck like a chicken. Christina breaks down what hypnosis actually is, why we can carry beliefs formed when we were very young well into adulthood, and why successful, intelligent, high-achieving women can know something isn’t true and still struggle to stop believing it. We get into perfectionism, procrastination, fear of judgment, intuition, reinvention, divorce, trusting yourself again and that nagging belief so many women carry: “I already have so much. Maybe I’m not allowed to want more.” Spoiler alert: You are. Christina also introduces us to her Wise Woods Method, which combines hypnotherapy, energy healing and intuition, and explains how she creates personalized recordings for clients to reinforce new beliefs. And because this is Carrie On!, things eventually get a little witchy. 🔮 IN THIS EPISODE: ✨ What hypnotherapy actually is — and what it definitely isn't ✨ Why insight and logic aren't always enough to create change ✨ How childhood beliefs can quietly follow us into adulthood ✨ Why high achievers still struggle with “I'm not enough” ✨ The dangerous little story: “Maybe that's just not available to me” ✨ Perfectionism, procrastination and fear of judgment ✨ Christina's journey from corporate executive to hypnotherapist ✨ Learning to trust your intuition again ✨ What happens when your life spectacularly falls apart ✨ Hypnotherapy + energy healing + Reiki ✨ The Wise Woods Method ✨ How to recognize when something in your life simply feels “off” Christina reminds us that you don't have to wait until your entire life blows up to start getting curious.
