Kia ora, I’m Meredith McCarthy, a Clinical Hypnotherapist based in Wellington, New Zealand.
In this heartfelt episode, I open up about my recent experience caring for my elderly mother and how it reminded me of the importance of slowing down, accepting support, and finding calm in life’s most stressful moments.

If you’ve ever had your world turned upside down by an unexpected event — the phone call that changes everything — this Talk Time is for you. Together, we’ll explore:
✨ How to manage extreme stress one moment at a time
✨ Why community and connection are so vital when life gets tough
✨ Simple ways to support your nervous system through breathing, stillness, and reflection
✨ The power of self-hypnosis and guided relaxation to restore balance

I also share how listening to hypnotic and meditative recordings helped both me and my mum find peace through the chaos — a reminder that healing can happen even in the hardest of times.

🌸 Take a moment for yourself today — breathe, be still, and know you’re not alone.
