Can You Reprogram Your Brain? Hypnosis, Anxiety & Breaking Bad Habits | Richard Barker

You already know what would make you feel better, and you keep doing the opposite anyway. What if the fix isn't more willpower, but one small win and a new script running in your head?

Today I sit down with Richard Barker, the Incredible Hypnotist. He is known for going from British soldier and police officer to performing comedy hypnosis in 38 countries. We talk about how language shapes the subconscious, why change takes 5 to 30 days, and how to separate pain from suffering.

This week, do one thing you didn't do yesterday and celebrate it. When you hear yourself say "I can't," try "just pretend I can."

What we explore:

- Why small wins rewire habits faster than willpower.

- How hypnosis reprograms anxiety and self-sabotage.

- What grief teaches about separating pain from suffering.

- How playfulness lowers stress and anxiety.

- How to overcome stage fright with simple public speaking tips
