About this listen

For 14 years, Laura Styles was an executive PA. Then motherhood became her turning point.

Her first child's crying triggered something deeper than exhaustion — it exposed patterns she'd been running on autopilot since childhood. She knew she couldn't parent the way she wanted until she addressed what was happening beneath the surface.

So she retrained as a hypnotherapist. Now she helps high-achieving, heart-led mums rewire old patterns, break free from burnout, and stop just "getting through the day."

In this episode, we get into:

→ Why 95% of your decisions run on childhood autopilot

→ The patterns we unknowingly pass to our children: perfectionism, burnout, the inability to stop

→ What hypnotherapy actually does (it's not stage hypnosis or losing control)

→ Stress addiction: Why high achievers struggle to rest and how to break the cycle

→ Christmas pressure and social media comparison — why the need to "make it perfect" is a pattern, not just stress

→ Self-compassion vs self-sacrifice: Modeling what you want your children to learn


With Christmas 2 weeks away, this conversation about breaking generational patterns and rewiring your mind couldn't be more timely.
