        Are you stuck in the loop of sabotaging good opportunities or continually finding some version of the same-old-same-old disappointing situation? Are you an expert at envisioning the worst case scenario but find it hard to envision - and become - what you really, truly want?

        In this episode, psychologist Traci Stein sheds light on the most common everyday “trances” that set us up for feeling bad. She also shares 2 powerful tools (with examples) that can help us rescript our lives for the better, and  help us feel, do and live better overall - in mind, body and spirit.
