What if the first step to real healing isn’t hustle or “positive vibes,” but feeling safe enough to hear yourself again? That question threads through our conversation with Carolyn Wood, a certified heart healer, hypnotherapist, and mind coach whose path from early loss to purposeful service will resonate with anyone navigating burnout, grief, or the quiet ache of “not enough.”
We start with Carolyn’s turning point—recognizing a lifetime of anxiety that felt normal until it didn’t—and move into the practices that changed her trajectory: rapid transformational therapy, EFT tapping, Reiki, and heart healing. She breaks down what hypnotherapy actually is (heightened focus, not mind control), why subconscious memories can freeze at the age we first felt an emotion, and how revisiting those moments with compassion frees the adult self to choose differently. Along the way, we tackle the scarcity mindset, the hidden loops steering our decisions, and the body’s role in carrying what the mind avoids.
Carolyn also shares the inspiration behind her High Vibe Besties Book Club and her new Feel Good Academy, designed to start where most programs don’t—creating safety—then exploring core wounds like enoughness, love, worth, acceptance, and trust. We swap practical tools for handling daily triggers, discuss what to look for in a practitioner who honors heart, mind, body, and soul, and highlight books that actually land: The Four Agreements, Anatomy of the Spirit, and The Alchemist. Expect grounded insights, gentle challenges, and takeaways you can use immediately.
