In the Old Paradigm, it looks like we have problems that need fixing. Problems that are special and unique to us; different from everyone else’s problems.In the New Paradigm, we see that’s not the case.We’re all the same and what we’re up against is all the same.Sometimes that’s clear. Most of the time, especially early

Do you know what your feelings are showing you?If they provide feedback that guides us through life, do you know how to read that feedback?The Old Paradigm had it wrong. It taught us to read our feelings in a way that actually isn’t accurate; a way that has created endless confusion and complication for people

In this episode of Changeable I talk with Annie Grace, author of This Naked Mind.Annie used to drink a lot, and now she doesn’t. It didn’t resonate with her to label herself an alcoholic or go to meetings and talk a lot about it (although those are helpful things to do for some people). Instead,
