Summary

In this episode of the Thrive Method Podcast , I sit down with Steve Woods , hypnotist and mental performance specialist, to explore why so many high performers still feel blocked, stuck, or unable to follow through - even when they know exactly what they should be doing. We dive into: Why people struggle with the “shoulds” in life How mental fatigue, stress, and anxiety shape behaviour Why habits like overeating, avoidance, procrastination, and self-sabotage often come from deeper emotional patterns How hypnosis can help rewire old stories, build confidence, and create new performance habits Why gratitude, self-awareness, and being kinder to yourself are more powerful than most people realise This episode is a powerful listen for anyone who feels like they’ve got the drive, ambition, and potential, but keep hitting invisible blocks. Because often, the issue isn’t laziness. It’s the pattern running underneath the surface. If you want to perform better in business, sport, health, or life, this conversation will give you a lot to reflect on.
