Read MoreExpectations and the “How-To” Guide to Other Humans
Most of us run around this world all day with a thousand thoughts about how other people should be behaving. It’s so common to have a long list of things we expect from others, and it’s just as common to not tell them about the expectations we secretly have for them in our minds. We…

Read MoreEp #61: The Nervous System & Your Health and Wellness

I’m not here to tell you that your negative thoughts aren’t valid, but being able to take a challenging situation and pause to look at your individual thoughts is going to stop you from turning it into…
