    Why is hindsight so powerful? One reason is the clarity with which we see the past. Our narrative has fewer gaps and we can see missed opportunities or the error in our ways.  It's often unpleasant to discover where we were wrong. It happens so often in relationships as we reflect on how it started one way and ended another.  I have found we are often hard on ourselves or amiss to the insights that our emotions cloud. How can we better embrace when we're wrong? How can we recover from those rough moments and emotions? Listen as we hear from Kathryn, a "wrongologist", who will shed some light on this topic.

He was going to be a good guy and a nice guy. Little did he know that he was only masking and hiding who he truly was.  It wasn't until his 3rd marriage and counseling, that he finally realized his behaviors and beliefs were all under his self-deception, justification, and rationalization. Instead of helping others, he saw he was really hurting those he cared for and ultimately himself. His paradigm shift allowed him to start living from the inside out with inner-peace and calm.

    Doesn't heartache feel unfair and like unwanted suffering? When we are rejected, we can feel disoriented. It's hard to know we're loved, that we belong and we are valued. This is the danger of a rough breakup! No matter what you go through, it is never true that you aren't worthy of love. This is when we suffer. We had our partner and we belonged together. When we are no more, there is suffering. How do you shift out of this suffering? Is the answer to be vulnerable? Even when you've put your armor of protection up? Listen to Brene and Oprah share about this idea. I hope you feel inspired and encouraged. Thank you for listening. You're invited!

    Falling in love for the first time or even the 20th time is both exhilarating and disorienting.  After he found out his girlfriend was cheating on her he decided it wasn't safe to fall in love again. It's best to hold back part of my heart and my love so I don't feel that pain again.  What are the consequences we pay for putting our hearts in a cast and never taking it off? What price do we pay when we vow: "I'll never love or let someone love me like that again"? These are the questions we explore in today's episode.

    B is a young Lebanese-American man whose family is originally from Lebanon. Even though he thinks he's generally a good person, he finds himself wrestling with an internal monster.  He first noticed this monster of rage when he dated Brenda. Maybe she created the monster? But after they broke up that monster came out again in other relationships. Now B is looking inward. At his lowest moments he finds himself behaving in ways that's hurtful to others and he doesn't know how to change. Stick with us as we explore the roots of this rage monster. You may find yourself thinking this guy sounds spoiled and entitled - this guy is a jerk to women - I don't need to listen to this. Hang in there because what it sounds like on the surface is just a cover for some deep family pain.  Together B and I go to some of the hidden core pain in his heart and in his body. Together we start the inner-healing process. I am so proud and impressed with B - he took a deep dive into some very vulnerable places. The reward - breakthrough!!! He gets really honest and finds some ways to be empowered - knowing he isn't stuck with being a monster, the monster isn't in control. He has hope to be a better man and live a better life.  Be encouraged! We have a patreon membership account!
