In this episode of "Live Into Your Best Life," host Paulie Skaja interviews Joshua Peters, a hypnotherapist and coach from Minneapolis. Joshua specializes in helping clients find inner strength and confidence to overcome anxiety, fear, and self-doubt, enabling them to move forward in all areas of their lives. He also hosts the "Super States" podcast, where he interviews experts in trance and personal development.

Joshua shares his journey into hypnotherapy, starting with his life in a small town, where he worked a soul-crushing job and dealt with a failing marriage. His transformative experience began with attending a Landmark Forum, a weekend program that uses NLP-type language and mindset reframing techniques. This experience helped him realize that the meaning of life is what we make of it and sparked a series of life-changing decisions, including quitting smoking, finding a new job, and eventually getting a divorce.

Joshua's path led him to discover sideshow acts like fire eating and bed of nails, which taught him to move past fear and step into uncomfortable situations. This period of self-discovery and empowerment was crucial for his personal growth. He later moved to Minnesota to be with a new partner, balancing his time between his children and his new life, thanks to the help of a hypnotist who helped him overcome his fears.

Inspired by the effectiveness of hypnosis, Joshua mentored with a hypnotist and began helping others with similar issues. By 2018, he went full-time with his hypnotherapy practice. Paulie and Joshua discuss the importance of peeling away layers of trauma and self-doubt to reach personal transformation, highlighting that the journey may take time but is ultimately rewarding.

Joshua enjoys working with creative individuals and those who are self-motivated, as they tend to engage deeply with the process and see significant results. He emphasizes the importance of making conscious choices and letting go of burdensome elements of one's life to move forward and live fully. Joshua recounts his journey of letting go of his past life, symbolized by an act of physically throwing rocks into a dumpster and leaving everything behind. He emphasizes the importance of intentional actions and planning, detailing how he gave a six-month notice at his job to align with his future aspirations, which culminated in selling his house and making a clean break from his old life in August 2018.

Joshua reflects on the significance of being in alignment and how it facilitated his steps toward personal growth and fulfillment. He uses the analogy of a map, suggesting that while a straight path from point A to point B is ideal, life often requires navigating through various hubs where everything clicks into place.

The conversation shifts to Joshua's podcast, which he started as a way to network and discuss topics that intrigued him but were outside the norm. The podcast allowed him to connect with interesting people and explore new ideas, further aiding his personal and professional growth. He shares how the podcast became a tool for self-expression and stretching his comfort zones.

The episode concludes with Joshua offering practical advice on taking action, even if it's small steps, to start making changes in one's life. He encourages listeners to break routines and try new things to build momentum for change. Joshua also provides information on how listeners can connect with him through his website and a special email transformation program designed to help people clear out mental blocks and achieve transformation without significant financial investment.

Paulie wraps up by thanking Joshua for his transparency and authenticity, emphasizing the power of storytelling in personal transformation. She encourages listeners to like, share, and subscribe to the podcast to continue receiving valuable insights and support on their journey towards living their best lives.
