This week, Hypnogeeks takes you behind the curtain of stage hypnosis with one of the UK’s top comedy hypnotists, Grant Saunders. From conquering a crippling fear of public speaking to performing at Balmoral Castle, Grant shares stories that are hilarious, jaw-dropping, and inspiring.

But this isn’t just entertainment. For clinical hypnotherapists, this episode is a goldmine:

• Discover how the confidence and performance skills of stage hypnosis can directly elevate your client's work.
• Learn why body language, conviction, and rapport often matter more than scripts or trance depth.
• Hear how stage performance offers lessons in ethics, consent, and volunteer care — principles that transfer seamlessly into the therapy room.
• And explore how stage shows can act as powerful public education about hypnosis, breaking myths, and building trust.

Whether you’re curious about sharpening your delivery, overcoming visibility fears, or simply bringing more confidence into your sessions, this conversation will give you practical takeaways and a fresh perspective on what hypnosis can really do.

✨ Highlights you won’t want to miss:

• [06:45] Grant’s first-ever stage show… at a biker’s charity event (and the hilarious disaster that nearly sunk him).
• [18:30] The “shoe phone” routine and why it blows people’s minds every time.
• [32:10] Confidence hacks: how Grant turned fear into excitement and why going live online changed everything.
• [47:00] The night he accidentally caused chaos at Balmoral Castle (spoiler: it involved armed police!).
• [1:05:20] Why body language and conviction matter more than scripts in hypnosis.
• [1:22:00] Mentors, Vegas summits, and where stage hypnosis is heading next.

🎧 Tune in for laughter, real talk about hypnosis, and unforgettable behind-the-scenes stories that bridge the world of therapy and entertainment.

Welcome to the HypnoGeeks Podcast — Today’s episode is for every woman who’s ever asked: “Where did I go in all of this?”

I’m joined by the incredible Jo Brown, a Quality-of-Life Coach, Clinical Hypnotherapist, and TARC EFT Practitioner with over two decades of experience in the health and social care sector. Jo’s story isn’t just inspiring, it’s relatable. From NHS receptionist to practice manager, Jo spent years caring for others while quietly burning out herself. But when her life began to unravel, she did something courageous; she chose to rebuild, not just survive.

Now, Jo supports emotionally exhausted women, particularly those in health, social care, and caregiving professions, to reconnect with themselves, rebuild their boundaries, and rise into a version of life that feels more aligned, peaceful, and empowered.

In this powerful conversation, we explore what it truly means to break free from burnout, how to create space for healing, and why you’re not broken — you’re becoming. We talk about the emotional toll of constantly giving, how to recognize when your body is calling for change, and what’s possible when you finally say yes to yourself.

Jo’s trauma-informed approach weaves clinical hypnotherapy, TARC EFT, and deep compassion, guiding women to gently reclaim their time, energy, and self-worth.

So, whether you’re feeling overwhelmed, emotionally drained, or just craving clarity and calm, take a breath, settle in, and let this conversation be your reminder:

You are not alone, you are not broken, and your next chapter can begin today.

This is the HypnoGeeks Podcast — your gateway to holistic healing, transformation, and the power of becoming.
