Unpacking Possibility with Dr. Traci Stein

Have you ever felt the need to prove your point or set the record straight, but the effort left you drained, more aggravated, and no closer to a resolution? Psychologist Traci Stein explores when and why sometimes it may be worth letting go of the need to have “the last word,” even if you’re “right.”

Topics Covered:

• Why it’s so hard not to respond to other people’s provocative comments and social media posts, misinformation and disinformation 

• Key questions to ask yourself before weighing in online or in person 
•  
• Why sometimes refusing to take the bait can be a more effective  move overall and preserve your inner peace

• When it is worth trying to set the record straight and when to engage in dialogue or debate

• How to recognize when the best course of action will be to find common ground vs. when it will be better to simply move on from the topic or even from the relationship

In this episode, certified dog trainer, animal communicator and pet numerologist Denise Mange talks about her bestselling book, “Translating Your Pet’s Behavior: A Mindful Approach to Dog Training.” Denise explains why “sometimes a bark is not just a bark. Accidents in the house can signal something bigger going on in your life.” Specifically, our pets’ behaviors and challenges often mirror what is going on inside of us - even if we may not yet be conscious of our own issues. By shifting our own awareness and mindfully attuning to our animals, both we and they can be happier, healthier and more connected.
