On June 25th 2025, in collaboration with Open Folk, we presented our first ever live interview event in Los Angeles. As Open Folk put it: "In These Lines is a live event where three artists each bring one song — not just to perform, but to explore. They sit down with Sofia Loporcaro, host of Before The Chorus, to talk about where the song came from, what it meant to write it, and what it still holds. Then they play it. Just the song, and the truth behind it."

Before a song is released, a record is produced, or a chorus is written, the musicians that write them think. A lot. They live. A lot. And they feel. A LOT. Hosted by award-winning interviewer Sofia Loporcaro, Before the Chorus explores the genuine human experiences behind the music. Sofia’s deep knowledge of music and personal journey with mental health help her connect with artists on a meaningful level. This is a space where fans connect with artists, and listeners from all walks of life feel seen through the stories that shape the music we love. About the host: Sofia Loporcaro is an award-winning interviewer and radio host who’s spent over 8 years helping musicians share their stories. She’s hosted shows for Amazing Radio, and Transmission Roundhouse. Now on Before the Chorus, she’s had the chance to host guests like Glass Animals, Feist, Madison Cunningham, Mick Jenkins, & Ru Paul's Drag Race winner Shea Couleé. Learn more about your ad choices.

It’s Always the Nice Ones: Why People-Pleasing is Making You Sick 21:18

10 weeks ago21:18

21:18

You’ve probably heard the phrase: “It’s always the nice ones.” And maybe, like me, you once thought that was a compliment. But it’s not. That phrase haunted me during my years in healthcare, whispered between nurses and doctors when patients who “did everything right” still ended up with the worst outcomes. And now, after years of working with high-achieving women as a hypnotist, I understand exactly why that happens. In this episode, I’m getting real about the hidden cost of being the nice one—the self-sacrificer, the peacekeeper, the one who puts everyone else first. I walk you through how people-pleasing and emotional suppression don’t just exhaust you mentally… they actually impact your nervous system, your hormones, your immune response, and your genetic expression. Here’s what we’re diving into: Why N.I.C.E. = Neglecting Inner Compass Every day—and how that pattern forms How childhood conditioning wires us to seek validation through self-abandonment What chronic low-level stress does to your immune system, cortisol, and long-term health The real reason women get stuck in “doing what’s expected” even when it makes them miserable Why it’s not selfish to choose your joy—it’s necessary for vitality This is about more than mindset. Your body knows when you're out of alignment. And the longer you override your intuition in order to be good, pleasing, or acceptable, the more strain you place on your system. I share how hypnosis helps clients release these subconscious patterns—whether it’s perfectionism, over-giving, guilt, or the fear that they’re only lovable when they’re useful. You’ll hear how even identity-level beliefs, like “I’m responsible for everyone’s happiness,” can finally be released when the subconscious feels safe enough to let go. It’s not about becoming someone new—it’s about becoming who you were before the world told you to be nice. 👉 Book a consult – If you’re ready to stop abandoning yourself and start living a life that actually feels like yours 🎧 Related episode: Episode 193 – Why Hypnosis Works When Therapy Doesn’t (with Christian Skoorsmith)…

In this episode, Penny breaks down why so many people end up stuck in familiar patterns—even after therapy, mindset work, or personal development. You’ll learn what most methods miss: that your subconscious identity, formed through emotional imprinting, is what truly drives your behavior. When your subconscious doesn’t feel safe becoming someone new, no amount of motivation or habit-stacking will create lasting change. Key topics we explore: Why affirmations, habits, and mindset tools have limits How subconscious identity is wired for safety, not success What early emotional imprints have to do with people-pleasing, fixing, and self-sabotage Why hypnosis isn’t about force—it’s about alignment How theta state activates the hippocampus for memory and emotional shifts The real reason clients circle back to old patterns (and how to help them break free) Whether you’re a practitioner or someone craving a deeper shift, this episode will reshape how you understand change—and why hypnosis is the most ethical and effective path for identity-level transformation.

Discernment or Disconnection: Can AI be a Spiritual Guide? 28:31

15 weeks ago28:31

28:31

What if your AI isn’t channeling your higher self—but just echoing your own bias? In this mini-masterclass, Penny Chiasson peels back the seductive illusion of artificial intelligence as a spiritual advisor and reveals what’s really going on under the hood. From misusing AI as a substitute for inner work to the subtle ways language models reinforce confirmation bias, Penny unpacks how discernment—not dependency—is your true spiritual superpower. You’ll hear why AI can never replace intuition, why well-meaning humans still plant dangerous suggestions, and how even consciousness-coded tools require your awareness to be used with integrity. She also shares her evolving opinion after encountering a voice clone infused with frequency and what that could mean for the future of AI in conscious creation. Whether you’re a curious tech user, a spiritual seeker, or a practitioner in the transformation space, this episode will challenge your assumptions and call you back to your inner knowing. Why AI is not—and cannot be—your soul’s voice How even spiritual-sounding AI outputs are reflections of human content, not divine downloads The false sense of growth AI can create when used without discernment What to ask AI instead to reconnect with your truth How one conscious tech innovator flipped Penny’s perspective on AI-generated frequency And why silence—not scrolling—is the portal to your deepest wisdom Resources Mentioned: Quantum Identity Matrix Masterclass — Craft a future version of you that collapses time and removes the blind spots between you and your next level. https://pennychiasson.com/resources Want to work with Penny?

What happens when a top sales leader turns inward, rewires her patterns, and reclaims her identity? The answer might surprise you. In this intimate episode of The Soul Fusion Podcast, Penny sits down with certified hypnotist and entrepreneur Tina Madsen for a powerful conversation on what it really takes to shift your identity, regulate your nervous system, and live from a place of presence—even in the chaos of parenting, ADHD, and building a life that actually feels good. Tina’s journey is not just inspiring—it’s a masterclass in resilience, self-leadership, and what happens when you finally learn how to work with your subconscious mind instead of against it. With a background as a former elite athlete and global sales leader (top 1% in her company), Tina knew how to perform. But it wasn’t until she said yes to hypnosis that she learned how to be at ease in her body, mind, and life. And yes… something is shifting behind the scenes of the Soul Fusion world. There’s more unfolding in this episode than just Tina’s personal story. 👀 Inside this episode: How ADHD became a catalyst for transformation—not a limitation What Tina really discovered during Penny’s hypnosis certification Why ease is not about doing less, but thinking differently The key difference between knowing what to change—and being able to do it What happens when identity, embodiment, and subconscious rewiring come together If you’ve ever felt like you’re doing all the right things but still can’t fully follow through… this episode will land deeply. It’s not just what Tina says—it’s who she has become. And somewhere in this conversation… a meaningful pivot quietly reveals itself.
