That presents a big problem when others don't say or do what we want. This episode will help you understand why we are all so reliant on external validation and how to become your own champion of belief in yourself and support.  ..read more

I've noticed that when something causes us shame, guilt, sadness, frustration or anger, we either: 1. Don't acknowledge it and distract ourselves with other things 2. Ruminate on it and can't let it go Most people do one or the other. What I'm proposing in this episode, the 5-Second Funeral, will allow you to do just the opposite. It will allow you to give yourself just a moment to feel the feeling and then to move on and let it go. Give it a try!
