In this episode, Holly Grahn returns to the Joy Before Fear podcast to discuss imposter syndrome, the journey of becoming, and the role the subconscious mind plays in our lives. Holly is a hypnotherapist, life coach, mindset coach, and ultrarunner. Through stories from the trail and her work with clients, she shares her perspective on self-worth, vulnerability, and learning to work with ourselves rather than against ourselves.We discuss how physical activity can become a space where self-doubt, identity, and personal growth rise to the surface. We talk about the discomfort that often comes with beginning again, the tension between wanting immediate results and allowing growth to unfold over time, and why some of life’s most meaningful lessons happen while we’re still in the process of becoming.
Holly also shares her new hypnotherapy app, Hypno Gold, which was created to make hypnotherapy more accessible and affordable for people looking for additional support in their personal growth journey.
