The Hypnotic Empath Podcast

Host Robyn Holm welcomes guest Sheila DeYoung, a hypnotherapist and Conscious Katamine Coach who helps high-performing, internally exhausted clients who feel unfulfilled despite outward success. Sheila shares her background of childhood trauma, a 34-year corporate management career, and a major burnout in her early 50s that led her to prioritize unconscious and soul-level work through modalities like hypnotherapy, Reiki, NLP, and mental and emotional release. Identifying as an empath, she discusses how absorbing others’ emotions affected her leadership roles and explains her current protection and clearing practices, including prayers, visualization, crystals, bells, sage/Palo Santo, water, and a ritual for “leaving” and “releasing” energy. Sheila also describes her work as a certified conscious ketamine coach, emphasizing intention-setting, guided journeys, medical prescribing through a partnered practitioner, and 30 days of integration. She shares outcomes she supports, including renewed motivation, reduced depression, and helping clients overcome limiting beliefs.

This is a dual-purpose hypnosis session: 
1)a Chakra Balancing Journey
2)Overcoming fear of judgment and being seen.
 
 This hypnosis uses the chakra system as a relaxation deepener, pairing each chakra with ways fear of being seen manifests—especially fear of being misunderstood—and guiding listeners to clear old patterns and bring in safety, expression, authenticity, confidence, joy, and grounding.

Robyn interviews longtime friend Melissa about her lifelong struggle with body image, bullying starting in early elementary school, and cultural pressures around weight. Melissa is a Director in Learning & Development who has spent her career helping others grow, but her most profound transformation has been her own. A lifelong wellness advocate and former Zumba instructor of ten years, she is currently completing her PN1 Nutrition and Wellness Coaching certification to bridge the gap between body and mind. She lives with her husband and their two Frenchies, and when she’s not cracking the code on wellness using tools like hypnotherapy, you can find her solving her way out of an escape room.
Melissa describes  feeling responsible for others’ emotions connected to empathic patterns and “protection weight.” Robyn explains her framework of safety, energetics, and subconscious beliefs, including coping behaviors that can start around age 14 and how nervous system safety affects weight. 
Melissa shares feeling shame, failure, and restrictive diet cycles despite fitness and nutrition knowledge, and says her turning point was combining hypnosis (future pacing) with a GLP-1 medication, resulting in nearly 70 pounds lost over 17 months with minimal side effects and reduced “food noise.” They discuss stigma, medication optimization, compassion for the body, and giving yourself grace.

Host Robyn Holm introduces a sleep hypnosis episode for empaths who struggle with sleep due to deeply processing the day, sharing that this is her third sleep hypnosis and adapted from a popular TikTok video.  She recommends practicing hypnosis outside bedtime if sleep sessions feel activating and shares her own history of middle-of-the-night wakeups and dysregulation during her Zumba career. The hypnosis guides breathing, an eye-opening/closing countdown, deep relaxation, and a “bubble of protection” to release worries and fill with calming “liquid light,” ending with suggestions for safe, restful sleep.

Host Robyn Holm interviews Glasgow-based hypnotherapist and Mindset Coach Andy Robson. Andy helps people regain control of their emotional state when it feels like someone or something else is running the show. After overcoming more than a decade of anxiety and attachment patterns himself, Andy rebuilt his life using the same principles he now teaches: nervous system regulation, thought retraining, and emotional self-command. He explains his daily self-hypnosis routine, how he uses anchoring and “stacking” for confidence, and why metaphors and nested stories bypass conscious resistance. Robyn shares her own long history with anxiety and postpartum anxiety and how Hypnosis helped. 
Robyn and Andy discuss empathic traits, anxiety as thoughts and body chemistry, self-talk, nervous system regulation, and evidence-based questioning to stop spirals. Andy also previews his seven-day hypnosis program “Detach and Attract” for releasing unhealthy attachments.

In this episode, Robyn introduces a hypnosis session focused on the fear of being seen, described as the fear of putting yourself out there (especially online). She shares her own experience moving from live fitness and BodyTalk work into clinical hypnotherapy and needing to post video content, including a paralyzing fear of judgment, criticism, and offending others. After working with her own hypnotherapist and identifying an underlying belief about needing to be perfect and liked, she began posting videos and reframed visibility as resonating with the few people who need her message while others can scroll past. She explains the session’s intention—helping listeners feel safe to be seen, shine their unique light, and find their people—using metaphors and nested loops. She mentions free access to her SafeBody Hypnosis series on the Skool platform, her ThrivingBody membership (including support for empaths who carry extra weight, chronic fatigue, or autoimmune issues), and limited one-on-one work, and invites sharing the episode and leaving a five-star review. The guided hypnosis includes relaxation, eye-focus induction, a staircase deepener, and a forest journey with metaphors of a river, seeds on the wind, and a campfire beacon to reinforce that being seen means being clear rather than exposed. The listener repeats the affirmation “When I am myself, my people find me. My people recognize me,” anchors the feeling by pressing thumb and finger together, and is guided to awaken with confidence that it is safe to be themselves and to be seen.

In this episode of the Hypnotic Empath, host Robyn Holm welcomes her best friend of 20 years, Pam Dhillon, to discuss her journey in the healing arts. Pam, a quantum healing practitioner with a background in body talk and registered massage therapy, shares her insights into quantum healing, the observer effect, and the importance of authenticity and self-love. They delve into the challenges of being an empath, practical tips for managing empathic sensitivities, and the pivotal role of embracing one's emotions. Pam also talks about her upcoming international retreat and the evolution of her career, emphasizing the power of observation, curiosity, and resilience in personal healing journeys.
 
Pam Dhillon is a practitioner of consciousness-based medicine and a guide for many, including empathic, intuitive humans navigating deep inner transformation. Her work supports people in untangling inherited patterns, subconscious roles, and energetic imprints so they can return to a state of clarity, sovereignty, and self-trust.
 
Through her Wild & Wise Gatherings, retreats, and multidimensional facilitation, Pam creates spaces where sensitivity becomes a strength rather than a burden. She weaves somatic awareness, energetic intelligence, and consciousness exploration to help people move out of overwhelm and into grounded presence.
 
Pam is known for her ability to translate subtle, often invisible inner experiences into language and practices that feel accessible and deeply human. With a gentle yet precise approach, she guides individuals and groups through profound shifts without bypassing the nervous system or the wisdom of the body. Her work invites you to stop absorbing the world and instead meet it from a place of wholeness, clarity, and inner authority.
