Hypnotherapy Rewires Your Subconscious: Jenn Boyt

Courtney Pearl sits down with Austin Tony, co-owner of Cat and Cauldron in Taylorsville, Utah, to talk about the intersection of music and magic. Austin shares how his family's folk practices, his move from Wicca into traditional witchcraft, and his Etruscan and English ancestry shaped his path, and how a background in opera led him to a new project: a witch choir built around chanting and singing in ritual. The conversation turns to voice as a sacred tool. Courtney describes a pilgrimage to an English burrow, where singing with other women inside the chamber helped her hear her own voice belong among others. Austin and Courtney discuss vocal trauma, the body-mind-spirit connection in singing, and why sound, breath, and vibration can activate the etheric body during spellwork and home cleansing. They also explore how words, will, and purpose work together in a spell, and how music can carry that intention. Austin lays out the goals for his choir: an inclusive space where people can sing without rigid binaries or performance pressure, with auditions opening on a Saturday evening and rehearsals planned for Tuesday evenings. Austin's and Courtney's stories of learning to trust their own voices make this a fitting episode for anyone who has ever felt too shy to sing. Subscribe wherever you listen.

This episode of Practically Magick opens during the week of Halloween, as Courtney Pearl marks the start of Samhain and invites listeners to notice whether the veil feels thin in their own in-between moments of the day. From there the conversation turns to a question many people bring to tarot readings: what to do with a career that drains you when your real passions feel separate from making a living. Courtney reflects on the modern nine-to-five, the economic pressure many listeners are feeling right now, and why a tarot card like Temperance can point toward the imbalance in your work life. She shares her own history of stepping away from acting and teaching, the stable-income choices that shaped those decisions, and the subconscious beliefs that keep passion and paycheck on opposite sides of the room. Along the way she draws a line between career and purpose, noting that the two don't always align and that both can be honored. Listeners are invited to consider where they first learned that work and joy must be separate, and whether that belief still serves them. Courtney also talks about Prism Healing sessions for working through money beliefs and about her own book ideas. Subscribe wherever you listen.

Courtney Pearl sits down with Jenn Boyt, a certified hypnotherapist trained in Rapid Transformational Therapy (RTT) and host of the podcast Her Subconscious Blueprint, to explore how the subconscious shapes the beliefs we carry into adulthood. Jenn explains that RTT is not the stage hypnosis people picture: the client stays in control throughout, and the work relies on the theta brain state, the same state we pass through as we fall asleep and wake. Together they examine how money blocks formed in early childhood can keep a person from believing they can earn a living doing what they love, even after saying it aloud a hundred times. The conversation covers what a session looks like, from intake and childhood scene work to the recordings clients listen to for 21 days. Courtney and Jenn compare their approaches to emotional processing and energy work, and discuss neuroplasticity and Jenn's ACT method (Awareness, Choosing, Trust) for interrupting old patterns one small moment at a time. Jenn also shares how she traced her own migraines to a childhood role of protecting her mother. The episode closes with a practical reminder to vet any healer you hire, starting with a discovery call.

Aurora Shanti Kriya, a Reiki healer, end-of-life doula, medium, and past life regression practitioner, joins Courtney Pearl for a conversation about past lives, the Akashic records, and what it means to claim the word witch. The episode opens with Courtney's tarot pull, a Magician card from the Ethereal Visions deck, and the discussion of manifestation as the inner work that convinces your subconscious you deserve what you ask for. From there, the two talk about Practical Magic and Practical Magic 2, Salem's history, and why witch is a title worth reclaiming. Aurora Shanti Kriya describes her own past life regression, including a lifetime in Italy and a Southern belle life, and explains how phobias and emotional patterns can trace back to earlier lives. They also discuss the Akashic records as a library of the soul's experiences, how a healing practice can connect to past life work, and why one lifetime may not be enough to learn everything a soul came to learn.

Practically Magick: Creating Sacred Ceremony in Everyday Life Courtney Pearl sits down in her kitchen to talk about ritual, intention, and the power of creating meaningful ceremony around life's most important moments. She pulls the Devil card from the Magical Nordic Tarot and explores what it reveals about boundaries, addiction, and the patterns we unconsciously repeat. The heart of this episode centers on Courtney's experience officiating her first pagan handfasting wedding. After getting ordained to perform ceremonies, she spent a full year preparing with the couple through a series of interviews, asking deep questions about their values, their connection to the land, their childhood hopes, and what they admired in each other. This wasn't about following rigid rules, it was about empowerment and creating a ritual that reflected who they actually were. Courtney shares how the ceremony incorporated elements meaningful to the couple: guests infusing the wedding rings with blessings, a hand-fasting with a custom cord adorned with symbols of a bee and stag, a land acknowledgment honoring the Timpanogos, Shoshone, and Paiute peoples, and even tarot readings at the reception. She reflects on the contrast between traditional LDS weddings in Utah culture and the freedom a pagan ceremony allows for authentic expression. Throughout, Courtney emphasizes that magic lives in intention and meaning, not perfection. When you create ritual that matters to you, you connect more deeply to its purpose.

Practically Magick: Green Witchcraft, Herbalism & the Spiritual Warrior Courtney welcomes Sage, a green witch and psychic reader who works with plants as a primary spiritual practice. What emerges is a conversation about herbalism as ancestral medicine, the reclamation of the word "witch," and what it means to practice witchcraft as a man in a tradition historically rooted in feminine power. Sage shares the origin story of Healing Hand Apothecary, named for the healing magic passed down through generations of women in his family. He discusses his signature brews, Witches Brew (a heart-opening, mood-elevating blend), Frog's Breath (a respiratory and communication tonic), Moon Milk (for dream work and liminal spaces), and Blood Moon (a feminine-centered tea curated with intention). Each blend carries both medicinal and magical properties, rooted in the belief that plants have evolved alongside humans to meet our needs. The conversation touches on epigenetics, ancestral connection, and how witchcraft itself is a spiritual practice available to anyone willing to claim it. Sage speaks candidly about masculinity within witchcraft, the witch wound, and what it means to be a spiritual warrior in a world that has historically weaponized the word "witch" against women and the marginalized. They also explore ritual as simple connection, not theatrical performance, and the importance of asking permission from plants before harvest, a practice grounded in relationship rather than extraction.

Practically Magick: Mabon, Manifestation & Moving Forward As autumn arrives, Courtney and Jaime sit down at Rising Moon Minerals to talk about what it means to harvest the year's work and trust the timing of your own expansion. Jaime's been away from the shop for ten days, reconnecting with family at Flaming Gorge and sourcing new inventory in Denver. But the real conversation centers on what happens when you're ready for something the universe isn't quite ready to give you yet. After eight months of searching for a new space, Jaime finally found the right location, with landlords who actually respond and move things forward. The lesson: patience isn't about waiting passively. It's about understanding that what you want may not be ready for you yet. They pull the Fawn card from the Season of the Witch deck, which opens into a conversation about inner child healing, resilience, and the belief systems that keep us stuck. Courtney shares her work with a business coach on a core limiting belief: that you can't make money doing what you love. This belief has shaped her entire adult life, from career choices to how she shows up in her business now. The episode weaves together Mabon traditions, the Wheel of the Year, and practical crystal wisdom with Petrified Site, a transformative stone that supports protection, power, and deep personal change.

Practically Magick: Sin and Repentance Beyond Rigid Religion What does sin actually mean? And what happens when you leave a structured religious tradition and have to define it for yourself? Courtney explores the etymology of sin, from its proto-Germanic roots meaning "guilty" to the Hebrew concept of "missing the mark", and how that ancient language opens a completely different conversation about morality, shame, and what it means to return to your highest self. Drawing from the Gnostic Gospels, Buddhist philosophy, and her own deconstruction journey out of Mormonism, Courtney reframes repentance not as ritual confession or shame-based control, but as a simple return. A turning around. An alignment with the frequencies of love, compassion, and authenticity that resonate at the highest levels of being. She discusses how judgment and curiosity operate differently in the nervous system, why shame is the lowest frequency humans can experience, and how the work of healing, whether through energy work, therapy, or creative practice, is really just the practice of noticing when you've drifted off course and choosing to come back. The episode opens with a King of Pentacles card pull and weaves together mythology, neuroscience, parenting psychology, and the Tetris game as metaphor for how we navigate the blocks life sends us.

Show Notes: Human Design with Esther Graves Human Design is a system that combines astrology, numerology, the I Ching, Kabbalah, chakra work, and quantum physics to reveal your body's energetic blueprint. In this episode, Courtney sits down with psychic medium and Human Design expert Esther Graves to break down what this system actually tells you, and why it matters. Esther walks through the four aura types: manifestors (the initiators and fire starters), generators and manifesting generators (the worker bees with sacral energy), and projectors (the guides and quality control). She explains strategy and authority, the two most important pieces of any chart. Your strategy is how you're meant to move through life. Your authority is your body's way of communicating what's right for you. They discuss emotional authority specifically, why people with this authority need to sleep on big decisions before committing, and how this applies to parenting. Esther shares real examples: a nonverbal autistic child who wouldn't eat until his parents understood his food type (touch nervous), and how parents with undefined emotional centers can inadvertently amplify their child's emotional dysregulation. The conversation also covers environment (your scene), food types, and how Human Design validates what you've always felt about yourself, it's not telling you anything new, just confirming what's true. Resources mentioned: Ra Uruhu's foundational texts, Rachel Lieberman's A Modern Guide to Human Design, and Jenna Zoe's work on simplified terminology.

Practically Magick: A Live Healing Session Demonstration Courtney Pearl walks through a complete healing session on this episode, blending Reiki energy work, emotional processing, and somatic techniques in real time. This is not theory, it's a live demonstration of how practical magic shows up in the healing room. The session begins with chakra assessment using a pendulum, revealing where energy is blocked and flowing. The client's root and sacral chakras show restriction, while the heart remains open. The throat chakra, however, is completely still, a signal that speaks directly to the client's need to voice what she's been keeping hidden. Using muscle testing, Courtney identifies the age point for deep work: four months in the womb. What unfolds is a conversation with the fetal self about the mother's emotional state during pregnancy, family dynamics, and the imprint of uncertainty that shaped early trust patterns. The client discovers a "broken compass", an inability to discern who is trustworthy, rooted in her father's instability before she was even born. Through guided visualization, color work, and somatic release, the session extracts stored emotions (sadness, confusion, betrayal) and replaces them with new affirmations and symbols. By the end, all chakras are flowing. A rune pull confirms the work: Jera, the rune of joy, harmony, and family fellowship. This episode shows how ancestral patterns, womb imprints, and present-day trust issues connect, and how to rewire them. Subscribe wherever you listen.
