    2026/05/23 | 8 mins.
    In this episode, I explore three ways to develop a master mindset with body image, when approaching the summer and warmer weather.

    How to Rewire your Thoughts to Stop Overeating

    2026/05/20 | 15 mins.
    I talk about how to rewire your thoughts in eating disorder recovery using CBT tools and the the 'hot cross bun'. I explore improving self-awareness by recognising hot thoughts/negative automatic thoughts and how to challenge them, using socratic questioning.

    Subconscious Programming, Nervous System Regulation and the Root of Your Pain, with Peter McLaughlin

    2026/05/16 | 57 mins.
    Find out more about Peter's work: - https://www.blueskyhypnosis.com/

    Today, I'm talking to Peter McLaughlin. Peter is a certified hypnotherapist and life coach whose healing journey began after a leukemia diagnosis in 2003. This turning point led him to explore the powerful connection between mind, body, and spirit.

    Peter helps clients find and resolve root-cause trauma using Havening, present and past life regression and other deep, spiritually-oriented healing methods.

    He’s the creator of the popular YouTube channel BlueSky Hypnosis, with over 130,000 subscribers and 17 million views, where he shares tools for emotional healing and personal breakthrough.

    A former volunteer firefighter and EMT, he brings compassion and purpose to his work. He is a part time actor returning to the stage as Shakespeare’s King Lear after 22 years away.

    In this episode, Peter talks about: -

    Compulsions as distractions from pain.

    How your past is still alive in the subconscious mind.

    The nervous system having only two modes.

    How subconscious programming runs your life, with practical tools for change.

    Forgiveness being at the root of all healing.

    I hope that you enjoy the episode.
