Beyond the Reiki Gateway

Join this powerful conversation between clinical hypnotherapist, coach, and healer, Christina L. Woods, and Andrea Kennedy to explore the roots of self-sabotage, impostor syndrome, and the beliefs that keep you from fully stepping into your power. From subconscious programming and trauma imprints to people-pleasing and perfectionism, you’ll hear why healing isn’t just possible — it’s essential. Christina explains how hypnotherapy helps uncover the stories running beneath the surface, and why even successful, empathic, and intuitive people often feel like impostors. If you’re ready to stop playing small, rewrite your inner narrative, and finally feel like enough — this episode was created for you.
