Episode Highlights, Ideas and Wisdom:
  • Our worst stories can become our best stories.
  • How Mary became who she knew she was inside – strong, bright, wise – when outside she was stumbling along with old issues hanging around that left her feeling shy, troubled, and full of fear.
  • There are ways to handle negative emotions and crappy feelings besides drinking an extra glass of wine and beating your dog.
  • How Erin got through and got over the pain of a stressful job, a messy divorce and terrible problems with anxiety.
  • How Mary healed her seething anger, let go of feeling abandoned and developed a loving relationship with her dad even though he drank heavily and was often in his cups until she was 16.
  • Good coexistence with other human beings is not easy because we’re all a rather dicey lot.
  • When it comes to our emotional health and our psyche, there are no quick fixes.
  • We all have little characters inside us that are either helpful or unhelpful. Some of them really cause us trouble. Like the inner addict. The one that makes you eat a whole bag of cookies at 11 o’clock at night even though your goal is to lose 15 pounds. These characters really get in our way at times. We have to learn how to work with them.
  • It’s so important to get to know yourself. Get to know what it means to be you and how to be happy as the creature that you are.
  • If you’re an extra sensitive person, you need extra tools. A few more ways of being in the world where extra sensitivity is a gift and not a liability.
