We recently connected with Jenn Levin and have shared our conversation below.
Hi Jenn , thanks for joining us today. It’s always helpful to hear about times when someone’s had to take a risk – how did they think through the decision, why did they take the risk, and what ended up happening. We’d love to hear about a risk you’ve taken.
When I was working in the fast-paced world of television production, every moment was charged with urgency. Script deadlines, pressure to come up with the next big creative idea. It was a constant state of anxiety and stress. For years, I survived in this environment, fueled by adrenaline and ambition. But eventually I got burnt out and started to wonder, why am I doing all this? Is the sacrifice worth the fancy title or comfy paycheck?
When my first daughter Siena was born, I faced a dilemma I had never encountered before: how to balance the demands of my career with the needs of my family. It was a pivotal moment that forced me to reevaluate my priorities and consider what do I do now?
The decision to quit my daytime, talk-show producer job and take a leap of faith into the unknown wasn’t easy. I had worked hard to establish myself in the industry, and walking away felt like a big risk. But deep down, I knew that I needed a change. I needed something that would give me the space to be present for my family while also fulfilling my own passions and ambitions.
I decided to pursue a career in hypnotherapy. It was a field that had always intrigued me, offering the potential to help others overcome their challenges and live more fulfilling lives. But it was also a risk, requiring me to go back to school and start from scratch in a new profession in my mid 30’s. But the excitement far outweighed the anxiety so I said, “sign me up!”
The journey was not without its challenges. Balancing coursework with the demands of motherhood was not easy. I had my second daughter Riley in the middle of my hypnotherapy program. There were moments when the overwhelm and stress almost broke me. I felt the pressure to learn a new trade, breast feed my baby and build a business all all at once. After receiving therapy and support, I successfully completed my program and founded Modern Hypnotherapy, feeling confident that I was moving forward on a path that truly resonated with this new phase of my life.
Today, as the owner of Modern Hypnotherapy, I am grateful for the journey that brought me here. I have the privilege of working with clients from all walks of life, helping them break free from the mental chains of stress, anxiety, and self-doubt. And while the road may have been rocky at times, I wouldn’t trade it for anything.
In a culture that glorifies hustle and grind, taking a risk and pursuing your passions can feel scary. But sometimes, it’s those moments of uncertainty and discomfort that lead us to our true purpose. So if you find yourself standing at a crossroads, unsure of which path to take, I encourage you to listen to your heart, trust your intuition and take a risk.
Jenn , before we move on to more of these sorts of questions, can you take some time to bring our readers up to speed on you and what you do?
Hello, I’m Jenn Levin, a Certified Hypnotherapist and the proud founder of Modern Hypnotherapy.
My story begins when I saw my own hypnotherapist for the first time. I was skeptical it would work, but it freed me from a 20 year habit of cracking my jaw almost immediately! I was so blown away by the fast results and how great I felt coming out of each session. I remember thinking, “if this is so effective, why isn’t everyone using hypnotherapy?!”
It has been my mission to educate and spread the word about the effectiveness of this somewhat mysterious modality. I am dedicated to empowering individuals to break bad habits and release their fears so they can make more money, improve their health and love their love lives!
Through personalized hypnotherapy sessions, I guide my clients on a transformative journey to break free from mental blocks allowing them to step into a brighter, more empowered future.
What sets me apart from other hypnotherapist is that I ask really good questions to help uncover the root cause of the problem. As a former talk show producer I’m really good at this so we can do the deep healing. Everything we’ve learned over the course of our lives is stored in the subconscious mind. With hypnotherapy we can tap into the subconscious, release blocks or old beliefs and replace them with more empowering beliefs that align with your conscious goals.
I offer a range of services tailored to meet the unique needs of each individual. Such as hypnotherapy to:
– Lower Anxiety
– Release Fears / Phobias
– Build Self Value, Love & Confidence
– Childbirth
– Career Clarity
– Weight Loss
– Smoking Cessation
– Group Hypnosis Workshops
– Floating Sound Bath with Hypnosis
I provide personalized support every step of the way.
I also offer monthly group hypnosis workshops. I often partner with sound healers to do Hypnosis Sound Baths. This summer I am super excited to launch a Floating Hypnosis Sound Bath in my pool on July 28! Anyone who wants to join the waitlist can email me as space is limited.
Have any books or other resources had a big impact on you?
I love Elizabeth Canon’s Age of E app packed full of resources for female entrepreneurs.
Elizabeth has taught me how to break free of hustle culture and build a business that supports my life instead of my life being completely devoted to my career.
She host monthly clarity workshops full of journaling and group coaching. These workshops have been instrumental in my mindset around building my business.
Learning and unlearning are both critical parts of growth – can you share a story of a time when you had to unlearn a lesson?
I learned that value is placed on career and success and money. I didn’t see a lot of value placed on motherhood. I have had to unlearn this belief that I am only valuable if I am working and making money. As a hypnotherapist I see what a big impact mothers have on their children’s lives. I continue to work with my hypnotherapist to try to rewrite my old beliefs that my value is tied only to my work.
