So this happened 75k downloads! In this episode, I reflect on the journey so far, marked by hitting 75k podcast downloads. Despite initial doubts from some, the support from listeners has been overwhelming, and I'm deeply grateful for each one who encouraged me along the way. I’m so grateful to Cathy Heller and Emma Kikuchi for instilling in me the belief that I could embark on this podcasting journey and transition into entrepreneurship. It's been more than just a podcast; it's been about forming connections and friendships, both locally and internationally. The mantra of getting the messy version done was great for me as there was no other way the podcast would have ever been published! We'll take a trip down memory lane, revisiting highlights from the past 117 episodes, featuring remarkable guests like Aoife, Lewis, Julie Ashlie, Aleisha, Alison, Melanie, Ruth & Bex. Throughout, the focus has remained on fostering raw, honest conversations around weight loss. As we celebrate this milestone, I'm filled with pride and gratitude for the inspirational conversations that have shaped this podcast. Thank you for being part of this incredible journey! A special thanks to Nicole, Kim, Emma & Johanna. In gratitude, Claire.

TRIGGER WARNING - Childhood neglect sexual abuse and trauma. Introducing a very different podcast episode with an amazing lady called Jolene. Jolene had survived horrendous childhood neglect and trauma including childhood sexual abuse. Jolene explains how as a child she felt like an outsider and how she learned to survive being passed through the care system only to be abandoned by her mother again at age 15. You will hear Jolene talk about her struggles with mental health that took her to talking therapy and how in the past she was even sectioned under the mental health act. As a result of Jolene's childhood experiences she was diagnosed with PTSD. Jolene received help and is now working in mental health however the PTSD night terrors would not subside. Jolene would have to take Amitriptyline to go to sleep to relax her body only when she was asleep the night terrors would start. As a child Jolene would be on the out for her abuser and would keep her bedroom door ajar. Staring at the door frame in her bedroom as a child stayed with her into adulthood and she never felt safe enough to close her bedroom door. After one session of hypnotherapy I was able to desensitise Jolene from the painful memories, the PTSD night terrors stopped and Jolene now sleeps with her bedroom door shut. I am hoping that Jolene's bravery for allowing me to record two hypnotherapy sessions will provide others with hope who have struggled with PTSD and have been left feeling that this is something they have to live with for the rest of their lives and manage. Hypnotherapy is powerful and is so much more than relaxation. I make no apologies for the fact that if you go to my YouTube Channel and watch the videos that you will see Jolene crying & shaking while she is releasing repressed emotions that she had held onto from childhood. I wanted to bring to you a powerful mental health shift and didnt want you to think that hypnotherapy is another woo woo fad! Truly it is not! The intention of publishing this episode was to show my listeners that there is always hope. If talking therapy and CBT has left you feeling frustrated, your subconscious mind can help you to release and process repressed emotions without the need to talk through the details of your past. My uttermost gratitude goes out to Jolene who now lives a life surrounded by her children & grandchildren now working in mental health to help those who have struggled with their demons. Jolene’s light is beyond bright.

We explore the conversation leading up to and following her hypnosis session, witnessing the transformation in her cravings for doughnuts. Johanna's love for cooking, baking, and all things Keto is undeniable. However, despite her dedication to the low-carb lifestyle, the intense aroma of her favourite doughnuts often tests her resolve.

Does emotional eating frustrate you? Do you feel that while food cravings jeopardise you're good intensions you don't want to give up the comfort of the food you crave? In this episode, you will hear how I often turn down clients looking for a quick-fix hypnotherapy for food cravings and weight loss. The bigger picture...the elephant in the room that is often not discussed is the fact that the issue with our relationship with food often has very little to do with food! The emotions that drive those food cravings should always be the first point of call before looking at any hypnotic cravings technique or virtual gastric band. Emotional eating is driven by the subconscious - unconscious mind trying to provide you with a good feeling during times of stress and anxiety or simply overwhelm from a busy day. If you are struggling with food cravings or a difficult relationship with food, if you're in a loop of self-sabotage, then this episode is for you.

Welcome to this week's podcast episode, where we dive deep into the intriguing world of food cravings. Join me as I share a personal insight into the struggles of dealing with irresistible desires for those foods we can’t leave alone! In the spotlight today is Laurie, who battles with an undeniable craving for peanut butter. Picture this: she finds herself scooping the creamy delight straight from the jar with a spoon, just as she did in secret during her childhood. As confessions unfold, I admit to my own guilty pleasure of indulging in condensed milk.But fear not, for today we're parking the guilt and exploring the fascinating journey Laurie embarks on as she delves into hypnotherapy. Stay tuned to witness the transformation as Laurie, guided by hypnotic suggestions, gradually loses her desire to taste or even smell peanut butter. This episode offers a captivating glimpse into the realm of control achievable through hypnotherapy. I shed light on the notion that food cravings often have little to do with the food itself but are intricately tied to the associations with joyful moments. In Laurie's case, it's the early memories of childhood that fuel her peanut butter cravings. So, sit back, relax, and enjoy the profound insights into the power of hypnotherapy in reshaping our relationship with food. Have a great week, until next time take care. Claire.

Gillian wanted control of the hot cross buns she craved. But… Gillian was a baker who loved the smell and texture so much of hot cross buns that she had her own ritual of smelling and squeezing the buns before she went in for a bite! Carbs, cakes, and anything sugary were Gillian’s downfall. Keto is the weight loss plan that Gillian wanted to follow; however, this is a very low-carb and low-sugar plan, so helping quit those cravings using hypnosis, especially as a baker, would be a challenge indeed relying on willpower alone. You will hear Gillian describe how she felt about the food she craved both before and after hypnosis. Like many people embarking on a healthy eating program, Gillian talks about the guilt of feeling unable to resist the foods in the moments that cravings felt so strong. In Gillian’s words, “sugar makes the world feel good.” Challenging this belief system may sound impossible. However, the subconscious mind is powerful. Listen to this week’s episode and open your mind to the possibility that habits can be changed without weeks and weeks of fighting cravings.

We all need encouragement from time to time and who better to share their weight loss journey than Tatenda, host of “Marvellous Encouragement." Tatenda has always celebrated her curves and her motivation was never fuelled by a social media idealistic view of a woman's body. This episode is very different from previous guest interviews as Tatenda had not struggled with weight or food choices from early childhood, teens, or twenties. Tatenda embarked on her weight loss journey at age 36 having lost the body confidence that she once adored. Tatenda found that celebrating curves was difficult in a UK size 22 body and compliments from her husband were difficult to take. Tatenda felt embarrassed that she had got to a size 22 and she found herself hiding away in the bathroom to get changed and from social events. You will hear Tatenda open up about how her excess weight had caused physical pains and how she didn't feel aligned with the health message she had to give working as a nurse. Motivating others to lose the weight they needed when she was a size 22 was something that Tatenda knew had to change. Tatenda has now transformed her health journey and no longer worries about encouraging others. Tatenda wanted to share her encouragement on YouTube with her own channel “Marvellous Encouragement”. The hiding away is now a thing of the past and Tatenda has taken back her power away from the scales and owns her weight loss journey. Tatenda shares how Slimming World, calorie counting & intermittent fasting have all helped her to step back into a healthy body. Enjoy!

Happy Valentines! Sending you big Saint Valentine's greetings. It feels so easy to love those we truly cherish, so easy to offer friends and family compliments and words of encouragement, and yet how easy is it to truly receive that same love? In this episode, you will hear how Charlotte is given an insight into how her negative self-talk has really impacted her self-esteem. This conversation will show you how easy it is to repeat negative self-talk on autopilot and Charlotte's reaction to the mirror work I help her with. You will be able to hear the hypnosis I guide Charlotte over on my Youtube channel following this link. Hypnosis is simply a pure state of focus. The question is what hypnosis are you currently invested in? What words do you focus on to describe your reflection on autopilot? So many times I hear people refer to hypnosis as woo woo! Yet people are already in hypnosis - each time they focus on negative self-talk and truly believe those negative words to be true.

Life has changed so much since Ruth last recorded an episode with Slimming Stories on episode 16. You may remember Ruth sharing her weight loss success with Slimming World dropping from a dress size 22 to a size 8. With newfound confidence, Ruth explains how she applied to the world-renowned school of performing arts “Lipa’ …just for a laugh! Ruth never imagined that she would be accepted as this had always been a dream and Lipa was a fairytale wish in a land far far away! Meanwhile, Ruth became unwell and was suspected of early menopause. More miracles were in store for Ruth as she explains how having polycystic ovaries meant that the dream of having children was something she had accepted would never happen. Do you believe in miracles!!!!? Take a listen and hear Ruth's fantastic news. Before Ruth's Podcast recording, I was able to take Ruth into hypnosis to help with pain management and a painful memory after Ruth had suffered a miscarriage. We never know the weight of the emotional pain someone is carrying when they embark on their weight loss journey. It was a pleasure not only to provide Ruth with pain relief but also to release her mind from being stuck in the moment of trauma from the miscarriage she had suffered.

I think I can vouch for the majority of my listeners when I say that most people committing to their weight loss have at some time sipped from the cup of Fad diets! Even knowing that a juice diet is a quick fix isn't always enough to steer us away from investing in the notion that something with “tropical” in the title will bring about a subtropical magical fat-melting reaction without the hard work! This week's episode is a minisode, one of many as I share a recent podcast sponsor opportunity. This was a little triggering as you will hear from my tone, my family thought this was a great idea! I had other thoughts and I'm sure you will all agree that declining the offer was the best move. Yes, I could have earned money however integrity and not having my podcast Spammed felt more in line with my Slimming Stories vision. Enjoy!

In this week's episode, I bring you up to speed with my decision to rejoin Slimming World. I share my sugar craving update after 8 months of no temptation towards cake, chocolate, or sweets.

Before mental health awareness week passes us by, I wanted to jump on and record an episode to support you in any struggles that you're feeling right now. I want anyone that is listening to this episode to know that regardless of where they are at right now with their mental health, you are not broken and unfixable.

Listen as I read a testimonial from a lady who had spent years in therapy and how I helped her using this exact technique in just 10 minutes. I know EXACTLY how this sounds! Honestly, even if you're skeptical I urge you to give this a try and break free from emotional pain. **There are some people who may not benefit from hypnosis and once you register you will receive this information.

You may remember Debbie Fawcett from episode 42 of the podcast. Debbie lost 15 stone with Slimming World and like many people over lockdown found the food she craved too big a temptation. Having kept in contact with Debbie I suggested helping Debbie with the food she craved using hypnosis to regain control. Hypnosis was a brand new experience for Debbie but nevertheless Debbie agreed and found Hypnosis to be extremely helpful. In this episode, you will hear how Debbie thought she hadn't gone fully into hypnosis and yet after the session, the chocolate cake and biscuits didn't even make it to Debbie's mouth. I totally understand how different the approach of hypnosis and hypnotherapy seems which is why I'm bringing the sessions to you! After the session, Debbie could only associate the biscuits and chocolate cake with salt! Debbie had wanted to be able to go into her kitchen for a cup of tea without the desire for biscuits, it's safe to say that her wish was granted! Here is the link to see Debbie's full episode over on YouTube http://bit.ly/YouTubeClaireOldhamWest Join me for my free webinar on Thursday the 27th of January where I will be introducing my new course “Slimming Stories Emotional Detox” http://bit.ly/EMOTIONALDETOX If you're interested in hypnotherapy you can visit my website claireoldhamwest.com To book a free discovery call to see if hypnotherapy is the right therapy for you just click on this link to schedule your 30-minute session. https://www.claireoldhamwest.com/contact

Episode 100, Imposter syndrome as a podcaster is very real, celebrating my 100 milestone of a podcast that nearly never started! In gratitude I have published episode 100... ti's the season of miracles and the fact is there was a point I had given up on the idea of ever publishing a podcast. For the first time ever I have published this episode with zero editing!!! Inspired by a recent hypnotherapy client that had lived with a stutter for 70 years I can safely say that my "erms" are no big deal and every voice deserves a platform. This episode is my journey through imposter syndrome to feeling the drive to publish a podcast despite all of life's curveballs leading up to the launch. I hope this inspires anyone not to let go of their dreams and not to wait for that moment when all the stars align. I weathered every storm leading up to the podcast launch but I just could not give it up! I created this podcast on a wing and a prayer, lots of prayers in fact! I talk about Cathy Heller's podcast course and meeting some gorgeous people in America who are now my biggest cheerleaders. I discuss how podcasting has changed my outlook on life from first meeting fellow entrepreneurs to taking the leap to leave my day job in 2021 and starting my own business. I give a shout-out to my husband Martin West who has always had my back and carried me through this process showing love and support each step of the way. I share my thanks to the guests on my show, mostly strangers who opened their hearts to share their stories to inspire you the listener. Take action, however, this looks and however messy it feels. Imposter syndrome is real but accepting all that scares you and pushing through this creates change. Sending love, 2021 has been another COVID year but we did it, we made it through! I hope 2022 gives you the opportunity to catapult yourself out of your comfort zone as you take your own scary steps towards doing the thing that lights you up. If I can host a podcast with 50k plus downloads you can do anything! Thank you for listening. Much love Claire.
