đź’› Cracked Open with Alanna Banks
Welcome to Cracked Open, the podcast where self-trust and transformation meet. Being human is beautifully complex: We’re pulled between self-doubt and self-discovery, confusion and clarity. This space is for trust-seekers ready to lean into that complexity, crack open the layers, and connect deeply with their own truth.
Join me, Alanna Banks, a certified clinical hypnotist, master NLP practitioner, and life fulfillment coach. Each week, I will guide you through hypnotic meditations and soul-expanding conversations. If you’re a big thinker ready to stop seeking validation and start trusting yourself, this show is your invitation to turn inward, trust your intuition, and live a life that feels right to you.
Let’s journey together into the heart of who you really are. No filters, no fluff—just real talk, absolute trust, and the real you waiting to be cracked open
