We will learn:

Do you want to know a powerful question you can ask yourself every time you react to something: Am I responding this way because it’s necessary or because of a past experience?

Our experiences, especially from childhood, shape a huge part of who we are today. Memories, beliefs, and habits get deeply rooted in our subconscious minds. Then, they control our actions and reactions more than most of us even realize.

But here's the good news: becoming aware of this starts to loosen the grip your past has on your present and future.

So today, we’re talking about sovereignty, or the inner power, independence, and self-control to make choices based on your true self, not outside pressure or past conditioning.

Our guest is Dr. Emma Seppälä. She's a speaker, author, and lecturer at Yale University. She's known for her expertise in the science of happiness, emotional intelligence, and social connection. She wrote the book, “The Happiness Track,” (Harper One, 2016), and her latest work, “Sovereign” (Hay House, 2024).
