Pull up a chair. Let's break the pattern so you can get out of your head and into your life.
I'm recording real coaching conversations for my podcast, The Anxiety Relief Revolution. You bring what's been running your life, and we work on it for real while the mics are on.
Apply for a seat- 5 to 10 guests
- In person, Marlborough MA
- 30 to 90 minutes
- We can change your name on the episode
Why I'm doing this
People ask me all the time what actually happens when someone sits down in my chair. It's a conversation, and it goes places most conversations never get to.
So I want to let people hear it. I'm inviting 5 to 10 people to come to my office, sit in my chair, and let me coach them through something real while we record. Some sessions will include hypnosis, some won't. That depends on you and what comes up.
You get a deep, focused session on the stuff that's been running your life. Listeners get to hear what change sounds like when it's happening, which is way more useful than another expert talking at them about anxiety.
My goal: somebody stuck in the same loop you're in hears your episode, recognizes themselves, and realizes they can get out too.
Read this before you apply
Everything gets recorded
From the moment we start until we're done. The recording can be used publicly in podcast episodes, clips, social posts and marketing for my work. That's the whole point, so only apply if you're good with that.
You come to my office
Sessions happen face to face at my office in Marlborough, Massachusetts. No Zoom, no phone calls. You'll need to get yourself here.
Block off 90 minutes
Some conversations land in half an hour. Some need the full 90. We'll go as long as yours needs.
Nobody pays anybody
There's no charge for the session, and guests aren't paid for being on the show.
Applying doesn't guarantee a seat
I'm picking 5 to 10 people out of everyone who applies. I read every application myself. If you're picked, I'll reach out to set up a time.
Coaching, not therapy
This is coaching and hypnosis. It isn't medical or mental health treatment. You have to be 18 or older, and you can stop the session any time you want.
Pick how you show up
Audio only
- Only your voice is recorded.
- Your face doesn't show up anywhere.
- Heads up: your voice is still your voice, so people who know you well might recognize it.
Audio and video
- Your voice and your face are recorded.
- You can show up on the podcast, YouTube, social media clips and in my marketing.
- Pick this if you're comfortable being seen. It reaches more people.
Either way, your name is up to you. If you'd feel more comfortable, I'll use a different name for you on the episode. Just tell me on the application.
The full terms, in plain English
- Applying isn't booking. I'll choose 5 to 10 guests. Sending this application doesn't guarantee you a session, and I may not be able to reply to everyone.
- In person only. Sessions happen at my office in Marlborough, Massachusetts. You're responsible for getting here. There are no Zoom or phone sessions.
- It's all recorded. Audio is recorded for the whole session. If you choose audio and video, video is recorded too. Anything said while recording is on can end up in an episode.
- How the recording can be used. You give Dan Candell and his businesses permission to use the recording, along with your voice, the name you go by on the episode, and (if you chose video) your image. That includes podcast episodes, video, clips, social media, ads, emails, websites, courses and other marketing, in any media, anywhere in the world, with no time limit. It can be edited, shortened or combined with other material.
- No money changes hands. There's no fee for the session. You won't be paid for appearing or for any later use of the recording.
- Your name. I'll use the name you give me on the application. If you'd feel more comfortable, that can be a different name than your real one. I won't publish your contact details.
- Your voice and face. Your voice will be heard, and if you chose audio and video, your face can be seen. What you talk about could make you recognizable to people who know you, so leave out names and places you don't want public.
- Editing and publishing. I decide how the recording is edited and whether an episode comes out at all.
- You can stop. You can end the session at any time. What was recorded up to that point is covered by these terms.
- Coaching, not therapy. This is coaching and hypnosis. It isn't medical or mental health treatment and doesn't replace it. If you're in crisis, call or text 988 (in the US) or go to your nearest emergency room.
- 18 or older. You must be at least 18 to apply.
- Your signature. Typing your full name on the application counts as your signature on these terms.
Apply for a seat
Takes about 5 minutes. Be honest, there are no right answers. The more real you are here, the easier it is for me to tell if I can help you on the show.
