You’re finally connecting. Things feel warm, open, intimate. And then—They shut down. No warning. No explanation. Just silence. Most people assume this means disinterest, selfishness, or worse—emotional immaturity. But there’s something deeper going on here. Something that isn’t about you at all.

I didn’t know these were mistakes. I thought they were helping. In reality, they were quietly feeding the craving and...
Hypnosis Isn’t Just for Love. It’s for Money Too. And what I’m about to say might surprise you. Most people know me for helping others build security in love: calming the anxious, softening the avoidant, and rebuilding emotional safety. But what most don’t realize is this: Financial stress activates the same nervous system patterns as attachment stress. The same spiral that makes you chase or withdraw in love… also makes you overwork, hoard, or panic when it comes to money. I’ve seen it over...
This photo means everything to me: This is my son, Martin. Born on February 5th this year. His smile is what peace looks like. And if you show up to the masterclass on Friday, it’s what you’ll look like after it, too. But here’s the truth most people don’t know: Martin wouldn’t exist if I hadn’t completely rebuilt myself. 4 years ago, my marriage ended. The love was real, but the relationship was not working. I was full of shame, anger, confusion. And no idea how to come back from it. That’s...
