It allows us to resolve problems instead of being caught up in endless repetitive arguments. We discuss the impact of avoiding conflict and the benefits of facing our fear head-on.

Living as if we will live forever comes at a great cost. We waste a lot of time in unhealthy jobs or relationships, and we put things off. We live with regrets and take things, people, situations for granted, among many other things.
Not being truthful with ourselves significantly impacts our choices, decisions, and health. Not being truthful with others prevents them from seeing the real you and gets in the way of healthy relationships and honest communication.
There are many reasons why we lie to ourselves and others. We fear the consequence of telling the truth, feel shame, experience cognitive dissonance, or desperately want our reality to fit our fantasy.
In this episode, we explore why people lie to themselves and others and how facing the truth is the first step to healing.

One of the many functions of the brain is to think. We never stop thinking; however, where we focus our attention is what really matters. We get carried away by the storytelling of the untamed mind. We let it run our lives and define who we are. Our thoughts can often get us in more trouble than we realize. After this episode, you will understand your mind better, how it can take over your life and how your true self can be in charge again. Your thoughts don’t have to define your reality, and you can quiet the storyteller.

We spend most of our time living in our heads. As a result, we have lost our connection to our gut, our intuition. Hindsight is always 20-20, and when we look back, we beat ourselves up for ignoring the signs. We dismiss our intuitive feelings, seeing them as exaggerations, invalidating them, doubting them and not trusting them. We intellectualize our way out of our gut feelings because of the possible ramifications of acting on them. After this episode, I hope many of you will want to start trusting your gut again and want to dive deeper into reacquainting yourselves back with that part of you that is always looking out for you: your inner GPS.
