From Executive Leadership to Healer: Hypnotherapy Breakthroughs with Christina Woods

What if the very traits that made you successful are also the ones keeping you stuck?

On The Empowered Half Hour with Becca Powers, I share my journey from a 30-year corporate career to becoming a clinical hypnotherapist, and the moment that forced me to look beneath the successful life I had built and ask what was really driving me.

We talk about the patterns so many high-achieving women know well: overachieving, overfunctioning, perfectionism, seeking external validation, saying yes when you’re exhausted, and feeling like you have to hold everything together.

But these patterns aren’t simply personality traits. Often, they began as ways to feel safe, accepted, valued, or in control. And once you understand the belief underneath the behavior, you can begin to change it.

I also explain how hypnotherapy helps us get to the root of subconscious patterns, why the meaning we attached to an experience isn’t necessarily the truth, and how something as simple as changing the language you use with yourself can begin creating a different response.

You’ll also hear practical ways to pause, reconnect with yourself, and start asking a powerful question:

Is this still who I am, or is this an old pattern I’m ready to leave behind?

This was such a beautiful conversation about identity, self-trust, and what becomes possible when we stop looking outside ourselves for all the answers and begin listening within.

This one is much stronger SEO-wise than some of the thin podcast posts we’ve been fighting with because we have enough transcript material to naturally use the keyphrase, related terms, and 300+ words without stuffing garbage in there.
