What if you've been perfect all along, just covered in layers of conditioning?In the final episode of the Close Your Eyes, Get Free mini-series, Grace shares two powerful metaphors that will completely transform how you think about personal growth. You're not broken and in need of fixing. You're a flawless emerald that just needs the dust wiped away.Drawing from her best-selling book, Grace reveals the Root, Trunk, and Limb concept, why hacking off the "limbs" of your problems (like quitting smoking or losing weight) without addressing the root causes only leads to new problems sprouting up elsewhere. Studies show that up to 80% of gastric bypass patients develop new addictions because the root issue was never healed.You'll discover why stress and anxiety act as the "trunk" that activates all your surface-level issues, and how the real transformation happens when you address the roots: lack of self-love, self-worth, and self-confidence.Grace challenges you to a 7-day hypnosis commitment using the free self-worth recording from the Grace Hypnotherapy app. This isn't about adding something to yourself, it's about removing what was never yours to begin with.Ready to remember who you really are?Timestamps:00:00 Welcome to the Final Episode01:00 Making Hypnosis a Daily Habit01:30 The Emerald Metaphor: You're Already Perfect03:00 Removing Layers vs. Adding Something New04:00 The Root, Trunk, and Limb Concept Explained05:00 Why Surface Solutions Create New Problems05:30 The Gastric Bypass Study: 80% Develop New Addictions06:00 The Trunk: How Stress Activates All Your Issues07:00 The Roots: Self-Love, Self-Worth, Self-Confidence08:00 Your Homework: The Self-Worth Recording09:00 The 7-Day Hypnosis Challenge10:00 You Already Have Everything You NeedMentioned in this episode:Close Your Eyes, Get Free (Grace's best-selling book)Grace Hypnotherapy App: getgrace.comConnect with Grace:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/gracesmithtv/?hl=enWebsite: https://www.gracesmith.com/Links: https://linktr.ee/getgrace

Part 1: Close Your Eyes, Get Free
What if your inability to stick to goals isn't about willpower, discipline, or motivation, but about something much deeper?In the first episode of Grace's transformative four-part mini-series based on her book Close Your Eyes, Get Free, we explore the real root cause of why change feels so impossible: subconscious programming. Drawing from over a decade of hypnotherapy experience, Grace reveals why your conscious mind's best intentions keep losing to hidden beliefs you didn't even know you had.You'll hear a compelling story from a client who desperately needed to lose 100 pounds for life-saving surgery, her insurance depended on it, her health depended on it, yet her subconscious mind kept sabotaging every attempt. The discovery of what was really happening beneath the surface will change how you understand your own "failures" forever.Whether you've been stuck in cycles of promising yourself change or this is your first step toward understanding your subconscious mind, this episode will help you shift the conversation from willpower to reprogramming, from fighting yourself to finally working with the 90% of your mind that's been running the show.Mentioned in this episode:Close Your Eyes, Get Free (Grace's book)Grace Hypnotherapy App: getgrace.comTimestamps:00:00 Introduction to the Mini-Series00:29 Understanding Hypnosis00:47 Freedom Begins in the Mind02:05 The Power of the Subconscious Mind03:09 Overcoming Subconscious Barriers04:52 Reprogramming for Success06:01 Series Overview and Homework08:59 Reflect and Prepare for Change
