    A white girl and a black guy talk about race and racism from the inside-out.
    In this episode, I talk to Rob Cook (bio below) about race and racism and how his view of both has been changing and evolving throughout his life, from when he was growing up in the housing projects of Birmingham, Alabama through his time in the US Air Force to the moment he came across the Inside-Out understanding of 3 Principles.

  • Episode 11 - A conversation with psychotherapist and transformative coach Jason Shiers Part 1
    FROM ADDICTIONS AND YEARS OF THERAPY TO PEACE OF MIND - a conversation with psychotherapist and transformative coach Jason Shiers
    I have started a series of conversations with people from all walks of life who talk about the impact of the Inside-Out understanding/3 Principles in their lives by sharing their BEFORE (what were they struggling with and what did they do to find help) and AFTER (why the Inside-Out was such a game-changer to them and how it impacted their lives)" stories.
    In this episode, I'm speaking to psychotherapist and transformative coach Jason Shiers, who spent years training to become a therapist only to leave it all behind after he came across the Inside-Out understanding/3 Principles. He also spent seven years in therapy in an attempt to solve his problems, he then believed stemmed from his childhood trauma - losing his dad in an accident at the age of 5.

  • Episode 9 - The Trouble With Other People's Advice
    In this episode, I talk about the importance of keeping the balance between the information/advice we receive from others and listening to our own intuitive guidance.
    I also talk about our uniqueness and why it is important to find our own "groove" in how we deal with anything or go about things (I use "writer's block" as an example).
    Thank you for watching :-)
