In this episode of the Win at Work Podcast, Eric Woodard sits down with coach and certified hypnotist Mary Gallagher to explore how hypnosis can help you build confidence, navigate a career change, manage stress, and get out of your own way.
Mary shares her inspiring career journey from Division I college athlete and elementary school teacher to six-figure entrepreneur, high-performance coach, and hypnosis practitioner. She explains how every career pivot helped prepare her for the work she does today—and why keeping the light on for your dreams is essential, even when the path forward feels uncertain.
You’ll discover how self-hypnosis, positive visualization, and intentional mindset shifts can help you overcome limiting beliefs, quiet perfectionism, and perform at your best.
