On this episode, I had the honor of talking to Shelly Lefkoe, co-founder of the Lefkoe Institute about negative beliefs, how they run and determine our lives, and how to eliminate them. We talked about what beliefs are, where they come from, and are formed. We discussed the most common negative beliefs, especially those beliefs behind our unhealthy romantic relationships, and many other unhealthy patterns that keep us stuck.  We talked in detail about the Lefkoe Method and how it works to identify and eliminate the negative belief and about the way we give meaning to events and the importance of understanding this. We ended the conversation talking about her pivotal work in educating parents with her parenting courses to make sure that we are raising emotionally healthy and confident adults. A must listen to raise healthy children and for us to eliminate those negative beliefs that are holding us back and preventing us from thriving in life in general, but especially after divorce.  You can find Shelly’s work at www.lefkoeinstitute.com, her work with parents and parenting courses at www.empoweringthenextgeneration.com and on Instagram at @shellylefkoe.
