When you or a friend is caught up in a situation, I refer to that as being "In It". When I found my way out I tried to figure out how. In this episode I share my findings.

There are things we learn from our parents and there are ways we become like our parents. To understand myself, it starts with HER. My mother.

I do not remember when I lost the desire to say NO and started saying YES instead.

It is hard to know what someone wants and what will fulfill their needs but after an unusual conversation I was left seeing relationships for what they are.

Life happens and how we handle the things that come at us comes down to our actions. So I started to just breathe.

A chance encounter made me realize that I no longer just thought differently... I now felt differently and was different.

It was time.

When the stories we tell ourselves hold us back, and how to let go.
