🎙 Episode 16: Hypnosis, Healing, and the Truth About Control

Guest: Kimberly Lynne, Board Certified Hypnotist

From fear to freedom—Kimberly Lynne unpacks the power of hypnosis, emotional repair, and reclaiming your mind

If hypnosis gives you flashbacks to stage shows, swinging watches, and clucking chickens—this episode may blow your mind in the best way.

Jax sits down with Kimberly Lynne, a trauma-informed, double board-certified hypnotist, to unravel the truth about what hypnosis really is, how it works, and why it belongs in every healing toolbox. From nervous system overwhelm to religious fear, from trauma loops to subconscious reprogramming—this conversation peels back the stigma and brings forward science, safety, and real tools for transformation.

You’ll walk away understanding:

• Why trauma gets stuck (and how hypnosis can help refile the emotional junk drawer)
  

• How your subconscious mind holds patterns that feel bigger than logic
  

• The difference between hypnosis, EMDR, meditation, and memory-based therapy
  

• What a healthy, ethical hypnotic relationship looks like
  

• Why hypnosis actually puts you in the driver’s seat
  

• And yes... how holding in a fart mid-session proved Jax had full control
  

Kimberly shares insights from years of study, deep practice, and personal reconciliation with her own religious background—and how hypnosis supported both spiritual peace and mental clarity.

Whether you're spiritually cautious, clinically curious, or just emotionally exhausted, this episode will challenge assumptions and offer a new path to personal power.

Episode 15: Scratch-and-Dent to Sacred Worth: The Crocheted Dog Miracle

Catch up on the story with Episode 14: I Called Bullshit on the Meditation—Then Everything Shifted with Brenda Johnston

💡 Episode 15 Overview

What does healing look like when it shows up in a box?
This week, Jax unpacks a hand-crocheted miracle—one that took fifty years to land. Inside that box: a basset hound made of yarn, sent without a card, without a warning, and with more impact than any apology ever could.

This episode traces a childhood heartbreak, a long pattern of scratch-and-dent shame, and the exact moment a gift rewrote the story. Along the way, Jax dives into the mirroring concept, daily Ho‘oponopono, and the emotional boomerang of generational patterns—plus a road-rage reframe for anyone who has ever cursed a stranger behind the wheel.

Episode 15 is about self-worth, unexpected repair, and the freedom that comes when your story breaks open in a way you never planned.

• A childhood tea fundraiser, a crocheted dog named Danville, and the moment that defined a scarcity wound

• Why owning beautiful things felt unsafe for decades—and what shifted

• A totally unexpected gift from Jax’s mother that reopened a closed door

• How humor, pain, and long-held memories carry more mirrors than we expect

• A simple but powerful Ho‘oponopono practice for self-forgiveness and inner-child healing

• A road-rage example that explains why context always matters

• The bridge into next week’s hypnosis guest (board-certified, radically confident)

• The launchpad for the Seven Adopt-a-Nots series—what we pick up that never belonged

🎙️ Episode 14 — I Called Bullshit on the Meditation. Then Everything Changed.

A spiritual faceplant, an unexpected breakthrough, and a path back to myself.
Guest: Brenda Johnston, subconscious strategist and host of The Limitless Life

Some meditations feel like magic.
Others feel like manipulation.

This one felt like a trap—until everything shifted.

This episode begins with resistance and ends with something I never expected: a new voice, a redefined identity, and a deeper understanding of how energy creates everything. Brenda Johnston joins me to talk subconscious work, prosperity re-coding, and the exact pivot that helped me stop performing and start transmitting truth.

Before Brenda, I layered tools on top of old survival patterns. I believed I had healed, but deep down I was still waiting for permission. She helped me reprogram the part of me that held the fear and let my voice start working for me instead of against me.

We go there:
✨ The energy people feel before you ever speak
✨ Why subconscious safety shapes identity
✨ Frequency-led leadership, explained without fluff
✨ Emotional neutrality vs. spiritual bypassing
✨ What happened when I finally met my future self

You’ll hear about the moment at the kitchen island, the meditation that made me want to run, and the reframe that became the launch point for this podcast.

This is the story of how it finally clicked—and who helped make that possible.

“It’s the energy behind the thought that creates the result.”

🎙️ Episode 13 – The Healing Modality Salad

Mirror Work, EFT, Tarot, and Ho’oponopono: How I Released Blame and Reclaimed My Voice

When I gave healing a fair shot, I started with the mirror. I met my younger self eye to eye—and she deserved more.

Henri McKinnon’s self-awareness work gave me language for what I had carried. Tarot dropped a truth bomb I never expected, and the Five of Pentacles showed me two figures I needed to let go.

Tori Hartman helped me trace that fear back through silence and grief—what began as paranoia became perspective.

Tapping came in when I froze before hitting record—Gary Craig and the Ortners built the foundation, but Jenn Dragonette gave me a fresh sequence I could actually use.

And the one tool I come back to again and again—Ho’oponopono.

Each of these practices helped release a piece of the blame I held. This episode opens the door. Future episodes will go deeper into the tools that helped me untie each of the seven deadly NOTs—starting with my interviews with Brenda Johnston, Kimberly Lynne, and the 50-year-old miracle that cracked me open in the best way.

Transform What L.O.S.E.R. Means: Separating Identity from Inheritance

A mental health deep-dive into setting emotional boundaries with unhealed parents

“You’re just like your dad.” That sentence stuck to me for years. It shaped how I saw myself, how I explained my mistakes, how I stayed quiet when I should’ve spoken.

This episode opens with a letter from my mother—a clipping from an old Anne Landers column—and a full-on gut check about love, attention, and who I had to be to survive. What followed was a shift I didn’t expect: I saw how much of my identity came from stories I never agreed to live out.

This episode covers: — Guilt vs. remorse, and why one leads to healing while the other keeps you stuck — How to set boundaries with unhealed parents without losing your center — The story of an ex-con who believed he was destined to lose — What happens when you reclaim the labels that were used against you

You’ll also hear the real reason I made a shirt with the word L.O.S.E.R. on it—because owning your story doesn’t always start with healing. Sometimes, it starts with calling the thing what it is and walking through it anyway.

If you were raised in a home where boundaries felt like betrayal, or you’ve ever felt responsible for someone else’s emotional wellbeing, this episode is for you.

🎙️ Show Notes – Episode 4: From Brain F.A.R.T.s to Brilliance: 30 Days to a Cursive Puzzle Book

Subtitle: The Final Piece of the Ultimate Cursive Writing Adventure

Description:
This is it—the final piece of the ultimate cursive writing adventure. Episode 4 brings it all home: one idea sparked on April Fool’s Day, 30 days of grit, and a puzzle book that changed everything.

Bones, my quiet hero, kept me steady while I built something bigger than a book—an experience. Along the way, I faced down the three true killers of cursive: the ballpoint pen that murdered flow, the typewriter that robbed words of life, and perfectionism that froze creativity before it even began.

Cursive writing, like a good fart, reminded me that:
💥 It doesn’t have to look pretty to work.
💥 It’s best done in private.
💥 It relieves pressure like no other.
💥 It clears the brain faster than any self-help trick.

This episode dives into the 8 types of puzzles—from trace-the-words to connect-the-dots, word searches to mazes, cryptograms to unscrambles—and the 11 subjects that made learning feel like an adventure. Animals, sports, seasons, numbers—this puzzle book had it all, making cursive writing fun for every age.

The puzzle book taught me the power of building, which gave me the guts to create the connectors that turned my activity book into a bridge from A to Z. Bones proved that sometimes the quiet hero is the one who shows up, saves the day, and makes a safe place for everyone.

This is the episode that proved I could finish what I started—and that the magic always lives in the mess.

🎧 Listen now for the grand finale of the Crack the Cursive Code adventure.

🎧 Show Notes — Episode 10: Wands, Warnings & the Wisdom War; Cursive Writing Meets Christian Controversy

This episode comes in hot with a wise wizard, a shape-shifting croc, and a church pew that taught me more about identity than any sermon ever could.
Turns out, I walked away from organized religion years ago as gracefully as you can from a nuclear disaster—only to end up selling a cursive curriculum to the very same crowd. How’s that for a plot twist?

🔥 Inside this episode:

• The moment I realized the difference between following the crowd and following my own path.

• How my experience with fundamentalist beliefs gave me the grit to design a curriculum that stands on its own.

• Why the wise wizard (and his wand) hit resistance from the same circles that embraced the shape-shifting croc.

• And how leaving behind the “Church of Ian” set the stage for real growth—on my terms.

Episode 2: Fired the First, Found the Fox — How One Artist Sparked a Curriculum Revolution

Part 2 of the Crack the Cursive Code Series

Last week’s episode uncovered how a meme, a pangram sentence, and a chicken in a bathrobe started an unexpected curriculum movement.

Now in Part 2, we dive deeper.

This is the chapter where Jax learns the difference between finding help and finding the right help. From a ghostwriter who built the bones to a fired artist who fumbled the vision—this episode is the turning point. The moment one bold phrase—“workbooks are boring as fck”*—won over the illustrator who brought Fox to life and helped Jax find her voice.

Expect real talk about creative control, imposter syndrome, and the hard-earned lessons behind redesigning a book for both left-handed learners and hardcover specs (yes, even Barnes & Noble needed a different format).

If you’ve ever doubted your own authority—or struggled to explain your vision—this one’s for you.

In this episode:

• The story behind the first failed artist and the emotional impact of that fallout
  

• How Jax’s illustrator said yes to a bigger vision
  

• Why Fox became the keystone character for the cursive crew
  

• The unexpected power of visual storytelling in homeschool-friendly formats
  

• A behind-the-scenes look at the left-handed book rewrite and storybook transformation
