🔑 Key Takeaways
1. Hypnosis is a natural brain state — NOT paranormal.
MRI scans show certain brain regions “dial down,” making it easier to access deeper patterns and absorb new messaging.
2. Hypnosis has a goal, unlike meditation.
- Meditation can be open-ended; hypnosis is strategic and result-oriented.
3. Sugar cravings often spike when you’re stressed, tired, or overwhelmed.
- Hypnosis supports habit change by calming the emotional brain.
4. Your subconscious can only focus on one transformation at a time.
- That’s why Michelle recommends separate recordings for different goals.
5. You can rewire behaviors faster when you feel emotionally safe.
- Hypnosis offers that safe internal space.
6. Your life’s “timeline” isn’t linear — and that’s okay.
- Michelle’s story demonstrates that reinvention is always possible.
7. AI can enhance wellness tools when used ethically.
- Her custom hypnosis generator creates personalized, meaningful recordings in minutes.
