29. Joshua Peters - Overcoming Fear & Taking a Leap of Faith (with self-hypnosis)

Stories from the Subconscious

Most of us are afraid of diving into the unknown, of uncertainty, of knowing what's going to happen. We are afraid that things will go wrong & be uncomfortable... that things may not go as expected.

Have you ever been afraid to ask for what you want?

Our today’s guest, was in a marriage that he did not want to be in, and yet he did not want to leave it either. The relationship was over and that much was clear. But he was afraid to ask for what he wanted. That is, until he got very clear that if he didn't, he might regret it.

This is a story about the end of marriage or is it about the beginning of a new story? The same idea goes for a job or an environment, we can be stuck and unfulfilled across many areas of life. And let's be honest — it’s not easy, and you may feel fear.

Is FEAR holding you back?

Joshua Peter’s obsession with personal development began at the age of 13 when he discovered a book on self hypnosis in his school’s library.

He learned to use self hypnosis to fall asleep easier and to focus better in school, and remained curious about the power of trance throughout his life.

Fifteen years ago, after finding himself anxious and fearful and stuck in an unfulfilled life, Joshua decided to stop being a victim and to take control of his life. After an intense year long training, he received his hypnosis certification in 2017 and made it his mission to create a life of freedom.

In 2018 he left his corporate job to help others find that same freedom. He believes everyone has the power to transform their life and he is passionate about supporting his clients to make the change they are looking for using hypnosis.

Joshua harnesses the power of neuroscience to transform negative states into positive states. This unique style of hypnotic coaching is the x-factor that creates positive and permanent results for his clients.

He sees clients locally at his office in the Twin Cities, Minnesota, and all around the world via zoom.
