AWAKEN with Ryan DeJonghe
Most people feel overwhelmed, anxious, lonely, or disconnected… and they assume something is wrong with them.
But the truth is: you’re not broken — you’re simply not awakened to the deeper part of you yet.
Hosted by trauma-informed hypnosis coach Ryan DeJonghe, AWAKEN blends story, science, and soul to help you break old patterns, dissolve anxiety, and reconnect with the part of you that’s been waiting to rise.
After a near-death experience that changed everything, Ryan returned with a profound understanding of the subconscious mind — and a mission to guide others back to the peace, power, and clarity they forgot they had.
Each episode brings you:
- Transformational stories from Ryan’s life and work
- Subconscious mechanics explained simply
- Tools for anxiety, overwhelm, loneliness, and emotional pressure
- Awakening insights for the modern world
- Short grounding hypnosis sessions you can use anytime
Whether you’re stressed, stuck, or spiritually curious, this podcast is a gentle doorway into remembering who you really are.
Welcome to your awakening.
