Guest post by  Brenda Williams, BCH, CHP , a Board Certified Consulting Hypnotist   Question: I’m thinking about using hypnosis to stop smoking, but I’m not sure what to expect. How does it work? What happens in a stop-smoking hypnosis session?    As a Board Certified Consulting Hypnotist with Awaken Hypnosis ,  nicotine and smoking cessation is often one of the easiest issues I work with. When someone genuinely wants to cease nicotine/cigarette use, hypnosis gives us a way to directly work with the related underlying expectations, beliefs, associations, and automatic behaviors.  Sometimes the nicotine habit is all that needs to be addressed. Other times, the smoking, pouches, etc., connect to deeper emotional patterns , and the work becomes about much more than nicotine. These clients are often surprised by just how much they get from the process.  The Pre-Hypnosis Interview Every session, for smoking and otherwise, starts and ends with an intervie...

by Jeanette R. Harrison, MPH I have shared a lot about how alone I was after moving away from Kansas City. How I had to move to Idaho with nothing. And people acted like it was no big deal. Like it was a joke, almost. Like I somehow deserved that because, in their minds, I was "too much" or "too much drama." But moving and leaving your things behind is hard. I didn't just lose my whole family and my social standing, but I lost everything that I was. Leaving everything behind is more than "stuff." It's a sense of identity. It's the memories you made, the life that you built, the person that you became. All of the "stuff" gives someone a sense of ownership over their life and a sense of worthiness. I've moved a lot of times, 42 times now, and the hardest moves are the ones where I had to leave everything. Because that wasn't just leaving a place. It was losing pieces of me, watching my footsteps behind me get erased. Knowing tha...

by Jeanette R. Harrison, MPH This is a rewrite. Not because I am retracting anything I said in my earlier post, but because after rereading it, I realized I had completely missed the point. Today's gratitude practice was supposed to be about being grateful for myself. Instead, I spent almost the entire post talking about other people. That realization, in and of itself, taught me something. Today's lesson is this: we often have a much easier time seeing the good in other people than we do in ourselves. Over the past several years, I have spent a great deal of time trying to understand why certain people have treated me the way they have. Some of those relationships go back decades because I continued attending the church that sponsored the college I attended, and many of those same people continued to intersect throughout my adult life. Whether people agree with my interpretation of those experiences really isn't the point. The point is that I have spent years trying to und...

 If you are a consultant, strategist, or executive trying to scale your professional footprint, you’ve likely been told that the secret to visibility is high content volume. Here is the truth: It’s not about how much you post. It’s about how clearly you articulate your unique, baseline expertise and your true, authentic self so your target network actually recognizes its value. I’ve built a professional footprint on LinkedIn. I didn't do it by using generic AI text generators to speak for me, and I didn't do it by chasing hollow algorithmic hacks. I did it by building authentic authority and turning profile traction into real equity. Next week on June 29 at 6:00 PM - 7:00 PM MDT , I am hosting the live, interactive masterclass: How I Built 22K+ Followers on LinkedIn (And Convert Them Into Buyers & Clients) . This is an intimate, high-impact masterclass where I am mapping out the exact blueprint I use to manage visibility, optimize profile architecture, and build genuine en...

My name is Jeanette Harrison, and I am the owner and CEO of How Healthcare Works, LLC. For years, I have worked in healthcare, education, consulting, and writing while building a business focused on helping people better understand healthcare systems, burnout prevention, and practical approaches to improving health and well-being. Six years ago, I restarted my life in Idaho with approximately $2,400 and my dog after leaving. Since then, I have rebuilt my life through full-time work, consulting, writing, and entrepreneurship. Along the way, I started a business, published books, launched educational resources, and continued investing in work that helps others navigate complex healthcare challenges. Today, I am working to move from survival mode into a period of focused growth. To do that, I am launching a small capital campaign to raise working capital for How Healthcare Works. The purpose of this campaign is simple: to create 3-6 months of financial runway while I reset, strengthen ope...
