How Hypnosis Can Help Small Business Owners Beat Burnout, Reduce Anxiety & Boost Confidence – with Diane Quinn
Feeling overwhelmed by your never-ending to-do list? Struggling to switch off at night? This episode is for you.
In this powerful and surprisingly soothing conversation, Amanda Hughes chats with Diane Quinn, an Ayrshire-based hypnosis practitioner (and former hairstylist of 30 years!) about how hypnosis can be a game-changing tool for small business owners.
Diane opens up about her own experience of burnout, her first panic attack, and how hypnosis helped her regulate her emotions, boost her confidence, and eventually build a new business helping others do the same.
We break down:
- The science behind hypnosis (no, it’s not clucking like a chicken!)
- How small business owners can use self-hypnosis techniques to reduce anxiety and overwhelm
- Why hypnosis is a natural, proven tool for emotional regulation—even if talk therapy isn’t your thing
- The power of group hypnosis sessions and Diane’s signature Better Balance, Better You program
- A live technique you can try today (timestamp: 17:30) to calm your nervous system in less than a minute
Whether you’re sceptical or curious, this episode gives a real-life look at how hypnosis works and how it could help you finally switch off and get back in control.
