With New Year's coming around the bend, many of us take this time to evaluate our lives. For some of us, it's an exciting time, for others—our inner critic takes out the baseball bat and beats us up pretty harshly.

In this episode, you'll listen in on an OGLE session with someone who is struggling with the belief that they are not fulfilling their potential.

In the process of editing this episode, I've listened to this about five times, and I keep getting something new from it. It's vulnerable, intimate, profound, and of course, there are a few moments of accidental comic relief.

If you're new to my OGLE method, I’ve reclaimed the word from its historic bad rap definition: to stare at something in a lecherous manner. I suggest we deeply perceive our circumstances, as in to ogle them through a healing lens, using my 4-step OGLE method:

O: Identify the offending behavior.

G: Find the good in the offending behavior.

L: Determine how you’re peering into the looking glass.

E: Ask how this will elevate you, or what elevated action you will take.

I hope this episode helps to make your New Year's intention setting and year review a more enjoyable experience…for you and yours.
