Welcome to The Knowing Self Knowing Others Podcast! In today’s episode, host Nia Thomas sits down with the fascinating Ravinder Taylor—a specialist in the power of the subconscious mind. Born in India, raised in England, and now living in Washington, Ravinder has navigated life through diverse cultural perspectives and began her career as a hard scientist, studying microbiology in Wales. However, a chance encounter with a hospital-hosted hypnosis demonstration sparked her passion for understanding the mind’s hidden depths.
Ravinder shares her remarkable journey from science into hypnotherapy and psychotherapy, including personal experiences that revealed just how much our subconscious shapes our present—often without us realizing it. Together, Nia and Ravinder explore how subconscious programming affects everything from personal choices to workplace dynamics, the real science behind hypnosis, the surprising power of the placebo effect, and how subtle micro-behaviors can impact our relationships at work and beyond.
Packed with practical tips and grounded in science, this conversation is all about self-awareness: what it means to truly understand ourselves, break free from old patterns, and empower our conscious choices—at work, in our health, and in our everyday lives. Whether you’re interested in the tools of hypnotherapy or how to foster self-belief and positivity, you’ll take away a wealth of insights and actionable advice from this episode.
Tune in and join us on a journey through the subconscious for a new perspective on self-aware leadership and empowerment!
