EP32 Surrendering To Life's Ups and Downs Jun 24, 2021

Show notes

You can let disappointment and challenges be as easy as possible. Life is a balance of both positive and negative emotions, and surrendering to this reality can make difficult situations easier. Surrendering is not a one-time action, but rather a continuous process of releasing control to find peace and acceptance.

EP27 Approaching Addiction With Love May 20, 2021

Show notes

When I was struggling the most with my daughter's addiction it was because I believed all the messaging that said if my daughter was mad at me I was probably doing the right thing. Approaching my daughter's addiction with love was the only thing that felt right to me, but I didn't know how to do it. I didn't know that a shift in my belief about love would give more more power and leverage than anything else I had tried. In this episode I share that belief shift so you can use it to create an approach to your child's addiction that not only works, but also feels right.
