What could YOU build with the right community?
After an extremely traumatic period in her life, Tina Larson found hypnosis and it changed everything. She had gone to trauma and group therapy but was still unable to distance herself from the regret, fear and confusion that plagued her. Hypnosis gave her the ability to control and calm her thoughts and emotions. She was finally able to let go and to forgive. Now she owns her own hypnotherapy clinic. She provides a safe and structured environment to help those who find her heal. Tina is one of the most incredible women to ever join our program and we are absolutely honored to be a part of her journey. Below you can read more about Tina and what she has accomplished the last few months.

Question 2
Why do you do what you do?
What motivates you?
Where did your passion come from?
I found myself facing a divorce after 27 years of marriage. One day I kneeled by my bed and just prayed to know what I needed to do. I asked if I should go back to school but I didn't really want to do that. I love helping people and I had heard a little bit about hypnotherapy. I thought "I could probably go and do that." I wanted to find an instructor who was Christian based so I started asking around. I knew that there was a school in California but it would be so expensive to move there for just a few months. I then heard of a guy in Logan, UT. He was Christian based and I was basically in his class the next Saturday.
While sitting in that first class I realized that all of the other students were previous clients of his and I had never tried hypnotherapy before. I figured I better try it especially if I'm going to make this my job. I started going and the third session completely turned my life around. I had done intense meditation before and I was actually scared of being hypnotized but hypnosis was not at all what I thought.
I had an amazing and spiritual experience. It shifted my life and gave me so much comfort. I kept taking classes but half-way through I was nervous and thought maybe I can't do this. I wasn't sure I could create an experience like the one I had had for another person. The instructor clarified this for me and said that the client actually figures out their own stuff. I am just the guide. I thought "I can be a guide."
I just feel so blessed. I was a single-mother and worked at a garden shop for only $8 an hour and I just didn't know how I was going to provide for my family. But now I have this incredible tool and gift to help, heal, and support individuals. There are still things to learn but I can barely believe it.

Question 3
What has been the hardest part of your journey so far?
The business has been hard. The hardest part has been the vulnerability. Setting up that website was the most vunerable I have been. It's the most publicly vulnerable I have been. I also struggle with the technology and the marketing. If I had to them in order on most difficult it would be vulnerability, technology and lastly marketing.

Question 4
What did you build in Soul Seed Academy?
Well, I also struggle with clarity and execution in general. Soul Seed has been a huge gift and blessing but for execution especially. I had been floundering regarding a niche and during the cohort I was like "Woah! I have been focusing on the wrong area." I had been focusing on abuse victims generally. But what I learned is that I know codependency, enabling and being a people-pleaser. I know how to help with those specific pains. The sky is the limit with the people I can help but I now understand the specific pains I heal. Soul Seed helped me get more clarity and direction and a clear purpose of how I want to serve the world.
In fact I had the thought "I need someone to hold my hand and guide me step by step." That's what I really needed. I had been a stay at home mom for 27 years and I was really good at it. But I had never done anything entrepreneurial in my entire life. I hadn't really ever worked outside of the home. So no wonder I was struggling to navigate the ins and outs of having and running a business. Soul Seed gave me permission to realize that I had gifts in other areas not necessarily the logistics of running a business.
Every class I heard "it's ok if you don’t know how to do this Tina. We are going to help you out so you can focus on what you are good at." Now things don't seem nearly as overwhelming anymore. The mountain doesn't seem as big. I know there are still some pretty big mountains but I've got help. I also know that if Soul Seed doesn’t know how to do it, they are going to help me find someone or a resource that does. It's a strong sense of security. I can press forward and step into the unknown because I know that you guys have my back 100%. Soul Seed brings so much security. There are other businesses you can hire to build your website or help you with branding. But Soul Seed helps you dig deep and it is truly a team work effort a back and forth effort. What a gem this business is. I truly believe that the 4 months that I have been with Soul Seed it helped me shave off years of struggling and navigating through business ownership and execution. Building that website is so much more then the pictures and paragraphs. It is a vunerable extension of yourself.

Question 5
What does healing the world look like to you?
It's being aware that an individual really does have all the talents, capabilities, knowledge and potential within their own self. They just need help to see that and to navigate that. I also want there to be awareness, prevention and recovery for abuse.

Question 7
Any last-minute thoughts?
The only thing would be that I want people to know that their past, and even their present, does not define them.
