Stories from the Subconscious

This podcast episode wasn't expected. Mae sat down to listen to a 10min guided meditation on InsightTimer app... and instead, she got riled up. What happened?  This meditation was filled with inefficient/not super effective affirmations... which serve as GREAT EXAMPLES as to how much possibility is out there.  This by NO MEANS is a shot at the creator of that meditation! He is serving as a teacher for us all in this moment.  YOU'RE INVITED TO CALL IN ABUNDANCE:  Click HERE to learn more about the "Calling in Abundance" hypnosis challenge happening April 17-21 LIVE on Patreon.

Mirriam Webster indicates that "don't", the converted version of "does not", has been used across the English language for quite some time.  Don't is defined as: a command or entreaty not to do something You likely are already aware of that.  And yet you might not be aware that the subconscious mind has an interesting relationship with "don't".  We often use don't in commands like:  DON’T WORRY DON’T THINK ABOUT IT DON’T BE HOME LATE DON’T SMOKE And if we really start to think about it: how impactful are those commands?  Or perhaps asked differently: is that the best or most efficient use of language?  Because the subconscious mind often skips over "don't" and leaves you only with the parts of the command that you DO NOT want. So then it sounds more like: WORRY! THINK ABOUT IT! BE HOME LATE! SMOKE! ...and that's not what you intended, is it?  So in today's mini-episode, we offer up one small nugget to the subconscious mind on how to be more impeccable with our word.  _______________ HEY! did you know that you can watch this episode on Patreon? _______________ PATREON COMMUNITY NEWS: In March, we are reading National Best Selling Author Joan Didion's book The Year of Magical Thinking which has been described as:  "...a work of surpassing clarity and honesty." - Washington Post Book World "Unforgettable...Both personal and universal. She has given the reader an eloquent starting point in which to navigate the wilderness of grief." - Chicago Sun Times "Achingly beautiful..." - Los Angeles Times This powerful book is Didion’s attempt to make sense of the “weeks and then months that cut loose any fixed idea I ever had about death, about illness . . . about marriage and children and memory . . . about the shallowness of sanity, about life itself.” This novel is a navigation of how grief can weasel its way into the most ordinary of moments. Didion describes the heartbreak of losing her husband and dealing with the unexpected journey of witnessing your own child in the hospital. Where does the mind go? How do we navigate these hard times? How can a simple billboard trigger thoughts and memories? What do we do?  In the United States, we tend to shy away from death and avoid it [like the plague] and yet, death is one of the only guarentees in life. So, in embracing this book, I wonder how much we can start to normalize death, grief, and the inevitable of life. I invite you to read The Year of Magical Thinking with us and join us on March 28th for our virtual book club meeting: find out more HERE _______________ MEET YOUR HOST: Mae Deevy is a Certified Hypnotist, Integrative Coach, Sound Healer & Host of "Stories from the Subconscious" Podcast.

Today's episode is very special and unique. Host Mae Deevy meets with her dear friend Cynthia, who is a Mystic & Psychic Medium after Cynthia reached out with a proposition:  "I want you to hypnotize me!" she said. And so today's episode is a recording of what clarity Cynthia received from her hypnosis session... live! You may be asking yourself: WHY would a PSYCHIC MEDIUM [who receives messages via Clairvoyance, Clairaudience, Clairsentience and Claircognition] want to try hypnosis for clarity!? Doesn’t she just… know things?!  And to be honest, I had the same question for Cynthia! And she let us know why she was seeking clarity via hypnosis so you'll have to tune in and listen :)  The truth is: Cynthia knows what a "trance state" is. When she sits down to channel, she describes the meditative trance place that she goes to as a "room" or "the abyss." She channels from a "deep trace state", in fact she noted specifically that she connects with the 5th dimension for readings and 8th dimension for channeling.  So what happens when we intentionally induce a deep trance state with hypnosis? What could come through?  In this episode, you’ll have a chance to: Meet Mystic & Psychic Medium Cynthia: why we’re here & her intentions for her session Be WITH us through the process and living the experience in REAL TIME to truly understand what it’s like to be hypnotized (getting in touch with the seat of the soul!)  Hear where Cynthia’s subconscious brought her & the clarity she received (HINT: humans are so silly) What happens when you hypnotize a psychic medium? Will she land in a new dimension? Will hypnosis open up a room or space beyond the “abyss”?  This episode features a brief interview and intention setting with Cynthia and Mae and then from about the ~35min mark through ~1hr 40min is the recording of their hypnosis session.  NOTE: the hypnotic "induction" has been cut from the audio so that you tune into the core session (versus receive hypnosis yourself!)  Cynthia asked to be hypnotized because she had 4 specific questions she was hoping to receive answers on. Her four questions were: What did her soul do during the hours that she was unconscious during a near-death experience? How to have a better relationship with money? How do I stay in the place of free-flowing? How can I help my family? What is the best direction for offering her gifts and talents to the world? ...and the session left Cynthia in awe, commenting that, “This is a fascinating school that we’ve signed up for" and that she really didn't have anything to worry about ever again. ok, WOW!  This episode is a unique opportunity to experience a real-life hypnosis session which typically happens privately behind closed doors (and closed eyes).  MEET YOUR HOST:  Mae Deevy is a Certified Hypnotist, Integrative Coach, Sound Healer & Host of "Stories from the Subconscious" Podcast.

Have you responded to an invitation with something like, "well, part of me would love to but the other part of me isn't so sure."  And so the truth is: we naturally break down our needs into parts. A "part" of you wants to go to that birthday party and another "part" of you wants to stay home & eat ice cream.  Maybe "part" of you feels like you "should" sit down and meditate while the other "part" really needs a nap.  We naturally are in touch with various parts of ourselves: the part that feels embarrassed doing karaoke the part that is proud of the cake they made for the party the part that deceived their partner even though they knew it would be hurtful the part that loves to 'pay it forward' in line for starbucks "just because" the part that believes they're not worthy of abundance Imagine if we welcomed every single part of ourselves with honor and love? Perhaps you've heard about "parts therapy" or "gestault" or even "Internal Family Systems" (and if not, that's perfect, too!) Either way... you are invited to discover the power of the subconscious mind as we explore, honor, & love all the parts that make us whole. This is a VERY special episode as it is a recording from a LIVE PODCAST EVENT sponsored by  MiraMira Photography Studio in East Austin,  TX. In this episode, Mae Deevy hosts a vulnerable live conversation with special guest Danielle Gertner as they own their shit. on stage. for a live audience.  Quite specifically: today's episode is a deep dive into a "part" that we likely all know pretty well: the inner critic. The inner critic is: -- the one who is quick to point a finger and call out what you haven't done or don't do enough -- often the one who speaks to you in "shoulds"  -- sometimes louder than the kind, loving all-knowing inner wise advocate  -- typically a part that feels heavy, shameful or guilty.  This event is an environment where we will begin to play with the idea that we can call forward these parts, name them, and offer them a seat at the table so that we can have a conversation with them - without judgment. And that happens when we partner with the subconscious mind. Because the truth is: the more we take ownership of our subconscious, the more we create grace and compassion for the parts we do want to play even bigger roles in our lives. Doesn't that sound inviting?

Y'all. I have to apologize. I have been gate-keeping this golden nugget. And it is time for the world to write and speak better affirmations. You might be asking... what is an affirmation? and for reference, here are some "typical" AFFIRMATIONS: I am worthy. My body is sacred. I have everything I need.  Amazing, great, we love it!! And what if I told you that THESE are ALSO AFFIRMATIONS: "I have this terrible habit..." “I go to bed way past my bedtime.” “I need to watch Netflix at night to sleep.” “I have no time or money.” This is why they say that our words are powerful and cast SPELLS because how we WORD things is AFFIRMING behavior.  And all of THAT brings us to our subconscious-micro-shifting nugget.  Tune into the episode to hear all the juicy details... and for my friends who learn visually, here is a summary:  So, how can SUPERCHARGE our AFFIRMATIONS:  It typically can BEST be heard in a sentence that indicated AWARENESS. Literally STOP yourself and say, “let me phrase that differently.” POWER MOVE. Now people are listening. Restart the Sentence, “up until now…” Re-state the sentence IN THE PAST! Because you are now AFFIRMING that behavior as a PAST behavior; and we have now left that sh!t behind.  MEET YOUR HOST: Mae Deevy is a Certified Hypnotist, Integrative Coach, Sound Healer & Host of "Stories from the Subconscious" Podcast.

Have you ever questioned whether you were hearing the voice of your INTUITION or you EGO? Or perhaps you have wondered: How does one tell the difference between the two? Today's guest is a beautiful soul who is active in play, movement, curiosity and aligning with her intuition. I was so excited when Nikki agreed to be on the podcast because I love to hear stories of women who worked in a corporate space and eventually found a new pathway for themselves. That is so brave!! And I wonder: how much of a role does one's intuition play in that process?  Tune in to today's episode to hear how you can truly allow yourself to be GUIDED by your intuiton (and let the confusion of "which voice is my intuition" melt away). I left this conversation feeling more grounded and confident in my own myself as it helped to make sense of the idea that "we have all we need within ourselves." ok, but WHERE? Who?! I can understand that that concept can be hard to digest... so I really appreciate the way Nikki breaks it down.  Some conversation highlights include:  the discernment between the intuition and the ego  slowing down actually can increase your productivity  the secret sauce to life [that lives in the physical body] defining success (as a feeling) through the body For Nikki, she noted that the practice of slowing down actually helped her be more productive (because it allowed her to hear her intuitive guidance). The invitation is to tune into yourself and trust by noticing energetics, voice/phrasing, and feeling.  ...because if you want to tune into your intuition, you need to make space for it.  "We must have space for the helicopter of intuition to land on."  If we are ALWAYS producing... the likelihood of burn out is exponentially higher. Give yourself the permission to receive... by slowing down. For Nikki, she says, "My mind is focused on: how can I receive and believe that the universe is going to support me through receiving?"  Nikki also offers us 3 easy ways to take action in slowing down, receiving:  say "no" to create space for yourself;   delegate (aka ask for support)  invite yourself to have a daily/regular practice with yourself (i.e. bath, oracle cards, journaling, walk, etc).  Conclusion: Listen to the feelings of the body to call in whatever "success" means for you.  _______________ YOU ARE INVITED TO THE SUPERBOWL OF THE SUBCONSCIOUS MIND:  It's time for the Superbowl of the Subconscious Mind! I am launching the (3rd annual) New Year Hypnosis Challenge where we’ll commit to 15min a day for 5 days in order to set ourselves up to experience the most intentional 2023. This is not about setting a new year’s resolution. I am talking about getting out of your OWN WAY so your soul can offer you the truth. This is an invitation to open yourself up to receive one singular word of intention that aligns with the CORE of who you are so that this. “word of intention” becomes your MANTRA or the LENS through which you see the world throughout 2023… ...which means that you can live in alignment with your soul’s intention. We’ll be LIVE together Monday Jan 23rd through Friday Jan 27th out on my pattern - however, the sessions will be recorded so you also are welcome to self-pace. Access is granted at the “BELIEVER" tier out on Patreon.com/BELIEFsystem Trust me - you may be surprised at how much you are able to shift and receive with JUST 15minutes/day.  _______________ TODAY'S GUEST: Nikki Norenberg As a self-discovery coach, vision activator, yoga instructor + speaker, Nikki Norenberg offers a soulful yet playful approach to bringing big-dreamers home to themselves.

Knowing what she knows now, today’s guest wishes she could go back in time and ask her younger self, “do you actually love yourself?” Maybe you can relate to this. Life was just “ok.” She was basically thinking “I guess this is as good as it gets” even though she checked most all the boxes on the traditional “to do” list. …because “when you’re in it you don’t really know there is some thing else available.” Got Married. Got a degree. Got a dog. Got a job. But what if you don’t like the job you just spent 8 years to get? The mind starts to dig up solutions at the “external environment” level: Maybe I can just… change jobs. Maybe that’s all we need!! In her search to feel valued at work, Dr. Guinevere Stasio realized that her employer actually had the ownership of her security… However, all of that changed literally overnight when they decreased her salary by $15,000 immediately after a 6-week unpaid maternity leave. “What do I need to DO to get that back?” As heartbroken as she was, exposure to new and different approaches to life allowed her to begin to expand what she knew possible. Breakdown of some juicy conversation highlights: The scandal of divorce Transparency into her audiology salary and financial transition into entrepreneurship What it’s like to have a $15,000 salary decrease after 6 week os unpaid maternity leave (go USA!) Working through the “is it worth it for me to go back to work” conversation post-baby Are you a victim or a victor? It’s a choice. It took 7 years to release the anger for her boss Going “deep” versus “wide” in our situations Living in the victimhood story of a terrible boss The bonding culture of complaining Breaking the cycle of generational trauma… with our choices The power of curiosity in the exploration of self-love For Gwen, it took an unexpected hardship to show her that she is the owner of her life. “Is this real life? Can this really happen? I was in so much shock.” But what did it take for her to transform from holding back tears, hot throated & red in the face with anger… to face hardships with the questions: “what is this teaching me and how can I move through it”? After holding on to that anger for 7 years, Gwen now believes that the quicker we get to the other side of anger: The easier we move through things The less we hold on to things The more aligned we become with who we are What I love about Gwen’s story is that she was brave enough to step outside of the box of what society labels as “successful.” I mean, cmon, what does it take to LET GO of your Doctorate in Audiology that you worked 8 years for?! And try something entirely new?! And often times we get stuck at the point of knowing that we need clarity… but not having any idea on HOW to get it. For Gwen, clarity is knowing what you value and keeping your focus on that. Through this conversation, the question is, which do you value?: Telling the victim story over and over again; or Drafting a new script So is “DOING” the answer? Because even in the entrepreneurial space, Gwen found herself burnt out. She found herself “performing” for: the paycheck the accolades; and the recognition. Gwen eventually arrived at a critical moment where she asked herself: who am I? Underneath it all: who am I? Gwen lets us in on what it took for her to get aligned WITH HERSELF and use that as a foundation for everything else.  “The journey has to be you leading yourself first.” TODAY'S GUEST: Dr. Guinevere Stasio is a clinical doctor turned empowerment coach and wealth activator. She began flirting with finances when her salary was reduced without warning and she was left to "figure it out". This led Guinevere to building her first business where she discovered that designing the life you desire is not only possible for every single human, it's your birthright. Now she helps women go from feeling stuck and unsure of their direction, to remembering who they are and stepping into their highest self so they can: play bigger, create legacy wealth, and do epic sh*t with their money. With Guinevere it is so much more than mindset, its embodiment. Her mission is for every woman to fully trust themself, put a stake in the ground and reclaim the power they were born with so that they can live the big, epic life they desire. website: www.guineverestasio.com  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/Guinevere.stasio  MEET YOUR HOST: Mae Deevy is a Certified Hypnotist, Integrative Coach, Sound Healer & Host of "Stories from the Subconscious" Podcast.

Today Angela reminds us that strong really does feel good. Because the truth is: Angela Gargano is no stranger to NOT feeling good. (You may know her from America Ninja Warrior where she tore her ACL on live TV... twice). Growing up, she was bullied growing up for her physical strength and that made her insecurities very real. It took some time but she eventually found “her people” (as well as a pair of stripper shoes?!) and that really helped Angela step into confidence (pun intended). For her, mindset is everything... because strong looks good but it feels even better.  “If you can learn to love yourself in all the different states, that’s the win right there.” Episode breakdown: Intimate eye gazing (authentic relating) Meditation isn’t about clearing the mind Establishing a morning routine post-rockbottom Journaling, habit stacking & other “non-negotiable” Designing life from a “how do I want to feel” perspective Shifting out of “external stories” for fulfillment and shifting to the “internal” focus Getting bullied for strong arms as a child Learning how to love your body at all stages because your identity is not your body The healing power of stripper shoes Being brave enough to own your life Strong feels good is mind over matter …and the one question that is the secret sauce to get through the “…but how?!” Because the truth is: “If you’re not living your life by design, you’re living your life by default.” TODAY'S GUEST: Angela Gargano is a fierce athlete, coach, international fitness model, and speaker. Before becoming a full-time multi-passionate entrepreneur, Angela worked as a biochemist at Brown University. Since throwing in the lab coat and goggles in 2013 to open her own gym in Cranston, Rhode Island, Angela has truly lived multiple lives in the athletic and entrepreneurial space, defying odds and setbacks to become an authentic and relatable voice to the public eye.  Angela has now competed on American Ninja Warrior 4x, won the Title of Miss Fitness America 2016, and created an online fitness empire for women called Strong Feels Good,  where she teaches women to ditch the scale and focus on strength and feeling as a way to measure progress. She has also helped over 500 women conquer their pull-ups with her online program, Pull-up Revolution. In summer 2021, Angela appeared all over the world as the Oxygen Magazine Covergirl, where she spoke about tearing her ACL on the Ninja Warrior course and coming back 11 months later stronger than ever.  Angela is strong, both mentally and physically, and she teaches you to love the body you are in. She is real, relatable, approachable, and down-to-earth. With Angela, there is fun and smiles, and there is grit, determination, and sweat.  website: http://angela-gargano.com instagram: https://www.instagram.com/angela_gargano MEET YOUR HOST: Mae Deevy is a Certified Hypnotist, Integrative Coach, Sound Healer & Host of "Stories from the Subconscious" Podcast.

DON'T listen to this episode!!! Unless of course you are open to expanding beyond what you once knew to be possible :) But seriously, this is a short & sweet episode designed to be of value & invite you to consider a subconcious "nugget" (aka a daily life treasure hunt into your language choices). Because [and I know you know this] it matters how we talk to ourselves. The truth is: we don't need to make MASSIVE or DRAMATIC life changes. We can make micro movements and shifts of direction that overtime make MACRO strides. In my book, "small" consistency over time is more impactful that one huge dramatic overnight change.

What a difference a year makes! After her first year of podcasting, Mae realized a few things: listening is a practice; and we are all storytellers What does that even mean? We are all storytellers? Well, we'll get into it. And while Season 1 had it's particular intention, this new season is a totally different intention. This new Season of Stories from the Subconscious seeks to highlight inspiring stories of those who have:  taken leaps of faith had the courage to pursue a dream (even if it felt crazy or impossible) found clarity and fed their inner mind what was needed to shift their mindset.  While also highlighting language hacks that support the shifting of our belief systems because our belief systems feed our thoughts... and [as Mahatma Gandhi said], "your beliefs become your thoughts. Your thoughts become your words. Your words become your actions. Your actions become your habits. Your habits become your values. Your values become your destiny."   Because here is the truth: we only know what we know. So how do we get introduced to what we don't know? Well, honestly, there needs to be willingness and openness as a foundation! After that, exposure to stories are what expands our world (both inner world [mindset] and outer world [environment]). So what is the intention of this podcast season?  Great question. This season we lean into stories as a platform that allow you to:  practice listening skills (because yes, that takes practice)  expand beyond what we know to be possible today; and perhaps even begin to embrace how powerful your inner mind is (and therefore how much you are capable of!)  Would you be willing to join Mae on this journey?  MEET YOUR HOST: Mae Deevy is a Certified Hypnotist, Integrative Coach, Sound Healer & Host of "Stories from the Subconscious" Podcast.

We are kicking things off with some juice talk about sensuality (not to be confused with sexuality), intuitive communication, and how to listen to the subtlety of "trust" when you've lost it all.  You may know her as a hilarious Deck Hand in Season 1 of Below Deck, Down Under however she is a woman of many talents! Brittini Burton is a sensual embodiment facilitator. She facilitates hundreds of women to discover, own and embody their sensual energy through the modalities of sensual movement, twerking and lap dancing.  But first, she had to lose all her comforts before she could trust-fall her way into big pussy energy (and yes, we'll get into what that means).  Brittini Burton is bold, courageous, outgoing, fun and powerful. By embracing her sensuality, she begun to understand her true potency on this planet. In our conversation today, you'll hear Brittini speak to: self-reclamation self-worth self-exploration ...to embrace and embody the sensual power of the divine feminine... because that is how we tap into the powerful and magnetic sensual energy of life.  Brittini is devoted to empowering other women in discovering their own sensual energy in order to create a more authentic world.

I have heard so many people describe themselves as "stuck." And simply knowing that you need clarity isn't always enough - sometimes we need to know that we have options. And one of the best ways to do that is through storytelling. This is a podcast that seeks to explore the following questions: what are the stories [thoughts] playing in my head?  how do I talk to myself? what stories have I been told about myself or the world?  Because here is the truth: if you do not know that something is possible than it does not exist in the subconscious mind. And if that awareness is missing, than you keep repeating the same patterns and loops over and over again.  And that brings us to explore another set of questions: do these stories help me to get where I want to go?  If not, how can I change those stories?  The vision is that this podcast gives women permission to dream bigger and celebrate the superpower that we all posess: storytelling.  Join me, your host Mae Deevy, Certified Hypnotist, Integrative Coach and Sound Healer, as we explore language and stories as a tool to engage with the subconscious mind to adjust belief systems to align with what you actually want in life. Together, let's explore Stories from the Subconscious.  PATREON: http://www.patreon.com/beliefsystem FOLLOW MAE: http://www.instagram.com/maedeevy.atx or http://www.instagram.com/stories.from.the.subconscious  MEET YOUR HOST: Mae Deevy is a Certified Hypnotist, Integrative Coach, Sound Healer & Host of "Stories from the Subconscious" Podcast.

What does that feel like? And what can we learn from that experience? Today's Challenge: Ask a friend or loved one today the following question, “what is your favorite part about yourself?” Listen. Look them in the eyes and simply respond, “thank you for sharing.” Allow them to be seen and loved today!

This may feel uncomfortable but it is important to acknowledge yourself and your truths!

So I wonder what might be possible when we amplify your OPENNESS? The truth is: your #OneLittleWord is waiting for you... you just need to be open to the possibility. Today's Challenge: Now that you awareness is heightened, take a moment to become aware of the thousands of ads we see on a daily basis. (Seriously, it is estimated we are exposed to 5,000-10,000 ads per day). What version or story are those ads telling you? Is it true? Is it rooted in love? Become aware of wrapping paper, sponsored social media ads, billboards, commercials, etc. Do you agree with this version of reality? Is this a possibility you are open to? Or do you choose to close the door behind it.  __________________ MEET YOUR HOST Mae Deevy is a Certified Integrative Coach, Hypnotist, Aromatherapist & Host of "Stories from the Subconscious" Podcast.

Take a moment to review your Google Calendar, agenda, or even your work calendar to gain some perspective on what you have done (and therefore what you have learned) this year. Take note of memories, actions, highlights, challenges and events. What have you experienced? What have you learned? Who are you as a person now? BONUS CHALLENGE: Have a dance party to Satsang's "Made for This." Listen to the lyrics, move your body and allow it to shift your state. Get silly! Be bold.
