“We all have freedom inside of us” with Marie Wanhoefer

Kat’s Podcast – Episode no. 34

On today’s show, my guest is Marie Wanhoefer.

I came across Marie a little while ago through my Bali connections.

What made me stop and eventually reach out to her is the way she talked about freedom – I felt that she is someone who’s got a deep connection to freedom and who perceives it in a beautiful and inspiring way.

And then she told me her story of following her inner voice and leaving the corporate world: A story and a decision which are in a way a classic, and then again something so many of us desire and yet don’t dare to do. Fast forward not even two years: She’s living on Bali, working as a hypnotherapist and holistic life coach. A story of dreams for the Freedom Lifestyle edition!

We also chat about healing, how freedom and healing are connected, and her work of hypnotherapy. 

Hypnotherapy is – in short – a healing modality: A form of inner work that helps you let go of anything that that keeps you from living a fulfilling, healthy and happy life. Topics addressed can be traumatic experiences, destructive inner beliefs, negative relationship patterns, burnout, anxiety, stress, or a lack of self-worth.
