How To Create Your Own Self Hypnosis
Episode 16 Season 3: How to Create Your Own Self Hypnosis Audio - Step by Step Have you ever wanted to create real, lasting change but using the power of your own voice? Today I'm giving you the tools to do exactly that! In this episode I walk you through exactly how to create a personalised self hypnosis audio that actually works. This is one of the most powerful and underused tools for lasting change at a subconscious level - and it's pretty simple. The Key advantages of self hypnosis are: Customisation: You select the exact words, metaphors, and pacing that resonate with your personal psyche. Zero Resistance: Some folks unconsciously resist an external voice, whereas your brain inherently trusts your own internal narrative. Total Autonomy: It removes dependency on an external person, building deep self-efficacy and confidence in your own mental strength. Instant Availability: You can practice it anytime and anywhere - such as during a sudden spike in anxiety or right before an important meeting. No Financial Cost: Once you learn the basic techniques, the practice is entirely free! Deepened Self-Awareness: The act of guiding yourself forces you to deeply understand your own triggers, emotional patterns, and desires. -- In saying all of this, I should note that working with a trained hypnotherapist provides dynamic, real-time adaptation, diagnostic expertise, and trauma-informed safety that a self-hypnosis recording simply cannot duplicate. While self-made audio is excellent for daily reinforcement, a practitioner acts as an interactive guide to uncover root causes and bypass internal resistance. -- Ready for a deeper transformation with me? Here's how we can work together: ⚡️ Power Hour: a single, focused hypnotherapy and/or coaching session: https://mindful-generation.com/power-hour/ 🧿 4 Week Awakening: a month of foundational nervous system work: https://mindful-generation.com/4-week-awakening/ 🌀 Rewire & Thrive: my 12 week flagship programme: https://mindful-generation.com/rewire-and-thrive/ Laura's Links: 📲 Find Everything Here 📲 Instagram: @themindfulgeneration 📲 Connect on LinkedIn Brand Partnership & Listener Discount This episode is brought to you by KARRI - the screen-free voice messenger designed to help children explore the world with confidence, while staying safely connected to the people who matter most.

When Life Falls Apart: Parenting Through Trauma, Addiction & Separation Anxiety with Fiona McKellar
Episode 15, Season 3: When Life Falls Apart - Parenting Through a Traumatic Situation with Fiona McKellar This one is raw, honest and deeply powerful. Fiona McKellar spent 20 years as a headteacher - working with some of the most challenging children in the school system. She was amazing at her job and amazing at coping with her own stress... until she wasn't. And then life unravelled. Faced with her husband's substance abuse, the breakdown of her marriage, and her son's severe anxiety and separation difficulties in the aftermath, Fiona found herself stretched far beyond anything her professional knowledge had prepared her for. That experience eventually led her to set up The Wild Child Parent Coach, where she now supports parents of big-feeling, intense, beautifully complex children. This episode is for anyone who has had their world turned upside down - whether by grief, divorce, illness, addiction, or an abusive relationship - and is trying to hold it together for their children at the same time. We cover: 👉🏻 The personal story that led Fiona to leave headship and start again 👉🏻 Why she now supports the whole family unit - not just the child 👉🏻 The importance of self-compassion when life suddenly looks nothing like you planned 👉🏻 How her son's separation anxiety developed in the wake of family trauma - and what actually helped 👉🏻 Fiona's brilliant, practical tips for supporting a child through separation anxiety 👉🏻 Why knowledge alone is never enough - and what really creates change Fiona is warm, wise and super knowledgeable. I think you'll love this one.

My Take On The UK Social Media Ban
Episode 14, Season 3: The UK Social Media Ban - What a result! Also, what does this mean... On the 15th June 2026, the UK government announced that children under 16 will be banned from social media. TikTok, Instagram, Snapchat, YouTube, X etc. Coming into effect Spring 2027. I am really pleased - in the work I do with clients I help a fair amount of stressed parents who are navigating smartphones and addictive apps. A lot are full of regret. But I've been sitting with it... and some questions started to surface that I think deserve some airtime. In this solo episode I share why this moment is historic, why I've been advocating for exactly this, AND why the age verification method being proposed - facial recognition, government ID, biometric data handed to the very platforms we don't trust - is making me uneasy. I feel we kinda need to be reading the small print here. And ask who ALSO really benefits from the infrastructure being built around this ban? Both things can be true. This is a win for childhood. And we should be paying very close attention to what comes next.

Hypnotherapy for the Good Girl - Inner Child Healing for High-Functioning Mums
Episode 13, Season 3: If you were the little girl who got on with chores even when exhausted, kept your emotions hidden, swallowed your anger and earned your place by being endlessly capable - this episode is for you. This guided hypnotherapy session is designed to take you back to the younger version of yourself who learned that being good was safer than being real. The one who was praised for compliance and (unintentionally) shamed for taking up too much space. In this session, I guide your subconscious into a deeply relaxed state where you'll travel through cosmic space and into another timeline - to meet the girl you once were. And to give her what she needed then, and what you still need now. Together we work to: Reconnect with the part of you that learned to over-function in order to feel safe Release the belief that your worth has to be earned through doing, organising and holding it all together Heal the shame around anger, rest and taking up space Reprogramme the inner voice from relentless self-criticism to genuine self-compassion Integrate your inner child so she stops running your nervous system from the shadows So much of what drives our patterns as mothers - the hypervigilance, the resentment, the inability to switch off - began long before we became parents. This session goes to the root of it. This one might bring up emotions. Be gentle with yourself afterwards. 🤍 🎧 For best results, listen in a quiet, comfortable space where you won't be disturbed. Listen daily for 21-30 days. ✨ Laura's Links: 📲 Find Everything Here 📲 Instagram: @themindfulgeneration 📲 Connect on LinkedIn Brand Partnership & Listener Discount This episode is brought to you by KARRI - the screen-free voice messenger designed to help children explore the world with confidence, while staying safely connected to the people who matter most.

Hypnosis for Letting Go of Perfectionism: For Overwhelmed Mums
Episode 10, Season 3: Releasing Perfectionism - Hypnosis for Overwhelmed & Burnt-Out Mums If the pressure to be perfect has been running your life - the endless striving, the voice that says you're never doing enough, the weight of impossible standards - this is for you. This guided hypnosis is designed to help you loosen the grip of perfectionism and step into a life where self-compassion, progress and ease replace the exhausting pursuit of perfect. In this session, I guide your subconscious into a deeply relaxed state where you'll begin to: - Recognise that your worth was never something you needed to earn - Release the impossible standards you've been carrying: often since long before motherhood - Reprogram your inner voice from criticism to compassion - Embrace progress over perfection - and actually feel it in your body - Step into a version of yourself who rests without guilt and moves through hard days without spiralling So much of motherhood is outside of our control. And when perfectionism goes unchecked, it paves the way to anxiety, chronic stress and burnout. This session helps you interrupt that pattern - at the subconscious level, where it actually lives. 🎧 For best results, listen in a quiet, comfortable space where you won't be disturbed. Listen daily for 21-30 days. ✨ Laura's Links: 📲 Find Everything Here 📲 Instagram: @themindfulgeneration 📲 Connect on LinkedIn Brand Partnership & Listener Discount This episode is brought to you by KARRI - the screen-free voice messenger designed to help children explore the world with confidence, while staying safely connected to the people who matter most.

Facial Fitness: The Natural Alternative to Botox & Filler with Carelle Rose
Episode 7, Season 3: Facial Fitness, A Botox Alternative & Home Ed Life with Carelle Rose This week, I'm joined by the captivating Carelle Rose - facial fitness instructor, conscious parent, and founder of Firefly Formula. Carelle promotes a holistic, empowering alternative to botox and filler, helping women strengthen and care for their faces from the inside out. But this conversation goes so much deeper than skincare. Carelle has recently taken the leap into home educating, and she shares her experience of finding her feet with home ed whilst running a small business - the juggly, beautiful reality of it all. With wellness, empowerment and connection at the heart of everything she does, Carelle has a real passion for raising the next generation of women who don't automatically succumb to the pressures of "looking a certain way." Together, we explore: 👉🏻 What facial fitness actually is - and why it's such a brilliant, holistic alternative to botox and filler 👉🏻 The importance of touching our faces and an intro to face taping 👉🏻 Self-esteem, the fear of ageing, and rewriting the narrative around how women "should" look 👉🏻 Alter-egos - how to embody the version of yourself you aspire to be 👉🏻 The interesting link between facial fitness and posture 👉🏻 Home education - the misconceptions, the reality, and why Carelle made the leap 👉🏻 How children are expected to be good at everything - and what we can unlearn around that Carelle is a fellow conscious parent and I genuinely could have spoken to her all day long!

Hypnosis for Releasing Intrusive Thoughts: For Anxious Mums
Episode 6, Season 3: Releasing Intrusive Thoughts – Hypnosis for Anxious & Overwhelmed Mums If intrusive or unpleasant thoughts have been hijacking your mood, your energy, or your peace of mind - this is for you. This guided hypnosis was originally created for a real-life client who no longer struggles with intrusive thoughts. It’s designed to help you change your relationship with difficult inner dialogue, so you no longer feel the need to fight, suppress, or engage with it. In this session, I gently guide your subconscious into a deeply calming state where you’ll learn how to: Detach from intrusive thoughts without fear or resistance Stop giving anxious thoughts power or meaning Regulate your nervous system and return to the present moment Build emotional safety, calm and self-trust Many of the mums I work with experience recurring thoughts linked to anxiety, trauma, criticism, or past experiences. When these thoughts come from within, they can feel more intense and disruptive - but they don’t have to control your day. This hypnosis uses a metaphor to help your subconscious learn a new response to intrusive thinking - one rooted in acceptance and ease. 🎧 For best results, listen in a quiet, comfortable space where you won’t be disturbed. Listen daily for 21-30 days. ✨ Work With Me This session was created for a private client. If you’d like your own tailored hypnotherapy or coaching support, you’re invited to get in touch...

The Best Smartphone Alternative for Kids: Screen-Free Tech with KARRI Founder Pete Clifford
Episode 5, Season 3: Screen-Free Tech for Kids - Rethinking Smartphones with KARRI Founder Pete Clifford What if parents could stay connected to their kids, give them the independence they crave and know they're safe - without a smartphone? In this episode, I’m joined by Pete Clifford, British dad, Berlin-based founder, and the mind behind KARRI - a screen-free voice messaging device designed specifically for children. What began as a personal parenting dilemma grew into a mission-led tech startup. Founded in 2023, KARRI is reimagining how families introduce technology, prioritising connection, safety and childhood over distraction and dopamine. The idea has already gained serious momentum, raising €2.1 million in pre-seed funding and sparking important conversations about kids, tech and digital wellbeing. Together, we explore Pete’s journey from frustrated parent to founder - and what conscious, child-centred technology can look like in a world that often moves far too fast for developing brains. In this episode, we discuss: 👉🏻 How Pete came up with the idea for KARRI and the real parenting problem he was trying to solve 👉🏻 Using KARRI as a “starter step” before a smartphone - supporting independence without overwhelm 👉🏻 Why KARRI works so well for separated co-parents, sleepovers, family members from afar and everyday logistics 👉🏻 How parents are learning in real time - navigating a digital world that wasn’t designed with children’s wellbeing in mind 👉🏻 Pete’s honest experience of introducing WhatsApp, and what one difficult incident taught him about online exposure This is an insightful conversation for any parent questioning when - or if - a smartphone is right for their child, and what healthier alternatives might look like.

Episode 4, Season 3: No Crap Parties - Gifting Culture and Plastic Consumption with Charlotte Mason-Curl Kids’ parties are meant to be fun… so why do so many of us feel guilty, awkward, out of pocket and drowning in plastic afterwards? In this episode, I’m joined by Charlotte Mason-Curl, founder of No Crap Parties and the Kids Party Pact - a movement helping parents ditch the waste, pressure and consumerism that has quietly crept into children’s parties and gifting culture. Charlotte shares how she realised most parents hate plastic-filled party bags and gift pressure, and how she’s now using her marketing skills for the greater good - helping families make parties more affordable, more sustainable and far less stressful. Together, we explore: 🎈 What’s gone wrong with kids’ gifting culture From post-Christmas overwhelm to financial strain, clutter, social anxiety and the subtle ways consumerism shapes our children’s values. 🎁 How to do kids’ parties differently Charlotte walks us through the Kids Party Pact, including: Clear gift guidance Alternatives to party bags Normalising second-hand and conscious gifting Plus lots of practical, doable ideas that won’t make you “that parent”. 🧠 How to get others on board Behavioural-science-backed tips for navigating resistance without offending (especially grandparents 🙈), plus smart ways to set boundaries and share wish lists that actually work. This conversation is empowering, realistic and deeply relieving if you’ve ever thought “surely it doesn’t have to be like this?” If you’re raising children and want to reduce waste, pressure and over-spending - without sucking the joy out of celebrations - this episode is a must-listen.

The 3 Most Powerful Unlearnings for Mothers (Lessons from the Pod in 2025)
Episode 3, Season 3: The 3 Most Powerful Unlearnings for Mothers (Lessons from the Pod in 2025) Welcome to a very special episode of Unlearning with Laura. As the podcast turns one, I wanted to pause and reflect. Over the past year, I’ve had the privilege of holding space for so many powerful conversations with expert guests, and certain themes have come up again and again. In this solo episode, I’m sharing three of the most powerful “unlearnings” for mothers that have emerged from the podcast in 2025 - lessons that invite awareness, compassion and a deeper understanding of how much our subconscious, nervous system and conditioning shape our parenting and our lives. In this episode, we explore: ✨ Why school avoidance is not “bad behaviour” What I learned from my conversation with Jodie Jones about school anxiety, nervous system dysregulation, and why neurodivergent children struggle in rigid, outdated education systems. ✨ How self-sabotage runs beneath the surface Insights from my episode with Becky Stanton on procrastination, perfectionism, self-worth and why your subconscious and energetics are always running the show - whether you’re parenting, building a business, or both. ✨ Raising children in a tech-heavy world Reflections from my conversation with Jade Gooding on values-led living and why the conversation around tweens, teens and smartphones has never been more urgent - including current UK discussions around social media bans for under-16s. 🎁 Podcast Birthday Giveaway At the end of this episode, I’m announcing a very special giveaway to celebrate one year of Unlearning with Laura - including a Power Hour HypnoCoaching session, my Bedtime Bliss bundle, and my Morning Mastery Toolkit. Make sure you listen right to the end to find out how to enter. FYI - these science backed bundles were created with so much love and have helped numerous mums in getting their kids to settle with ease and to enjoy their mornings again! 🤍 New Brand Partnership This episode also marks the beginning of a new brand partnership with KARRI - a screen-free voice messaging device for children. If you’re navigating the smartphone conversation with your child, keep an ear out for more details (and a listener discount coming soon).

Understanding & Releasing Resentment: for Under-Appreciated Mums
Episode 2, Season 3: The Epidemic that is Motherhood Resentment Resentment in motherhood doesn’t appear overnight - it builds quietly, day after day, as the mental load piles up and your needs slip further down the list. In this solo episode, I’m exploring the very real, very common resentment so many mums feel toward their partners, co-parents, workplaces, or even the systems around them - and why it can feel like a slow erosion of feeling seen, valued and supported. If you’ve ever thought “my life has changed, but theirs hasn’t”, or felt like you’re carrying everything while silently seething… this one is for you. In this episode, we explore how to: 🌿 Understand where resentment really comes from 🧠 Make sense of the invisible mental load and subconscious roles mums carry 💬 Shift out of silent frustration and passive-aggressive patterns 🧘‍♀️ Reconnect with yourself when exhaustion, overwhelm and burnout are creeping in 💛 Begin releasing resentment without guilt - and without blowing everything up (check my previous hypnosis episode for this - my most popular episode of this podcast so far!) This episode is an invitation to stop minimising your experience, stop carrying it all alone, and start honouring your needs again - because resentment isn’t a personal failure, it’s a signal.

Episode 1, Season 3: Fertility, Pregnancy Loss & Birth Trauma with Laetitia Felix This week, I’m joined by my friend, the brilliant Laetitia Felix - a Fertility & Pregnancy Loss Coach and Mind-Body Practitioner who supports women through unexplained infertility, pregnancy loss, birth trauma and beyond. Laetitia shares her deeply personal journey to motherhood, having conceived naturally at 40 after a four-year journey through multiple losses. She walks us through her unique approach and how she weaves together mindset, somatic and spiritual practices to support women in regulating their nervous system, releasing inner blocks, and rebuilding trust in their bodies.

Your Brain Creates Your Reality: The Science Behind Manifestation for Mums
Episode 19, Season 2: The Science Behind Energetics In this episode I dive into the science behind manifestation and how you can consciously create your life - it's all about quantum physics and energy. I talk about: 💫 How your brain filters reality and why you might be stuck in patterns of stress, scarcity, or overwhelm 💫 The role of your subconscious mind in influencing 95% of your thoughts, emotions, and energetic broadcast 💫 How to consciously tune your energy and focus to attract the life you want - more freedom, flexibility, support and abundance 💫 The observer effect from quantum physics and how focusing on what you want collapses infinite possibilities into reality 💫 Why 'wanting' something can actually block it, and how to shift into 'being' the version of you who already has it I explain that they key is often to stop manifesting what you don’t want and start consciously creating a reality that feels effortless, joyful and aligned. This is what I teach in my programmes and has always been an important part of my work and life. I hope you enjoy it!
