There are so many wonderful souls who have poured their time, talent, and energy into making this book what I hope will be a source of both inspiration and transformation for all who read it.
From the bottom of my heart, thank you…
Lisa Gallagher, you have been with me from the very beginning, guiding me, supporting me, and ultimately seeing me through the accomplishment of one of my greatest goals. Thank you!
Renée Sedliar, for taking a chance on me and being so enthusiastic about our work together. I have loved working with you! To Amber Morris and everyone else at Da Capo Press who worked tirelessly to make this manuscript the best it could possibly be.
Carol Leggett, for helping me to bring the power of hypnosis into the homes and hearts of thousands of people I would not have otherwise reached. Having you in my corner makes me feel invincible; I am so grateful for all that you have done and continue to do.
To my family, friends, colleagues, and fellow authors who I leaned on heavily and who supported me throughout the writing of this book, including my wonderful brothers Ryan and George, my sister-in-law Nadia, Aunt Cindy and Uncle George, Mikaela Gauer, Jovanka Ciares, Danny Johnson, Gala Darling, Melanie Votaw, Amber Skye Noyes, Andie Gabrielson, Carrie Hammer, Melissa and Marise Cipriani, Rebekah Borucki, Michelle, Ali and the entire Soul Camp Family, and so many more, thank you.
Patrick, when this book was first being written, you were only an idea in my mind, but by the time it is published, you will be five months old. Thank you for keeping me company with your gentle kicks and stretches today as I put these final touches on my first book. I cannot wait to support you in accomplishing your dreams! I love you.
Bernardo, you are an angel walking among us and everyone who knows you is lucky to share a glimpse of your enlightened existence. I am the luckiest. Thank you for being my partner in all things. Eu te amo.
Mom and Dad, you’ve always supported me, you’ve always loved me, you’ve always told me I could accomplish whatever I put my mind to. You are why I am able to share this message with others. Thank you!
Nana, for saving my “Smith Family News” clippings, for always saying I would be a writer, and for being so vibrant and amazing at one hundred years old that you got to see it come true!
Sweets, Zen, and Kona for constantly providing unconditional love and cuteness overload.
All of my mentors,
All of my phenomenal hypnotherapy students,
All of my clients and customers,
Every member of our incredible Grace Space community,
Thank you for joining me in my mission to make hypnosis mainstream.
