Episode Title: Uncovering Hypnosis: Influence, Communication & The Power of the Mind

Guest: Xavier Crow – Mentalist, Mind Reader, Speaker

This episode explores the real meaning of hypnosis beyond stage tricks, revealing how it influences everyday life through focus and suggestion. Pri and Xavier discuss practical applications for breaking habits, improving personal growth, and enhancing communication.

Key insights include:

• Hypnosis in Daily Life: From binge-watching to advertising, mild trances shape behavior.

• Influence vs Manipulation: Influence guided by service builds trust; manipulation erodes it.

• Nonverbal Communication: Body language offers powerful cues in business and relationships.

• Mentalism Hack: Listen for subtle clues in casual remarks to connect deeply and lead effectively.

Xavier emphasizes that understanding these principles can improve emotional intelligence, leadership, and negotiation. The conversation closes with a reminder: The power of the mind isn’t just for magicians—it’s for anyone who wants to live with intention and communicate meaningfully.

 Beyond the Mo: Men’s Mental Health Unmasked

Dedicated to Movember

Host: Pri Abayakoon | Guest: Counsellor Mortesa, Steps Coaching & Counselling

---

This Movember, we’re going beyond the moustache.

Today’s conversation is about something that often stays hidden—men’s mental health, identity, and support.

To every man who has ever felt the weight of silence: you are seen, you are valued, and your story matters.

To the friends, partners, and families: your listening ear can save a life.

A huge thank you to Henry and the Movember team, and to every organiser and supporter across Australia who is driving this movement forward. You’re not just raising funds—you’re raising hope.

 Counsellor Mortesa shared powerful insights on breaking stigma, redefining masculinity, and creating safe spaces for men to open up. Because strength isn’t about silence—it’s about courage to speak and seek help.

 Call to Action:

This month, let’s do more than grow a mo.
 Start a conversation.
 Check in on a mate.
 Share resources.
 Donate if you can.

Because 3 out of 4 suicides in Australia are men, and together, we can change that.

 Catch the full episode on Alive 90.5 FM or stream via our socials.

Let’s keep the conversation alive—not just in November, but every day.
