In this powerful episode of The Transform Your Life Podcast, I sit down with consulting hypnotist, NLP practitioner, and founder of Aligned Natural Health, Kate McDowell. After being diagnosed with multiple sclerosis (MS) at just 22 years old, Kate followed the traditional medical route—until it stopped working. What followed was a profound personal transformation that led her to explore nutrition, mindset work, and subconscious reprogramming.
Together, we unpack what it really means to be at cause in your life and how emotional and energetic blocks often manifest physically. Whether you're facing chronic illness, emotional burnout, or feeling stuck in your body, Kate’s story offers an incredible example of what’s possible when you take back your power.
