The viper tongue shows up with a barrage of ways you’re not good enough and it’s all your fault.

By challenging the negative self-talk that haunts many of us, we'll foster a kinder, more loving relationship with ourselves.

When was the last time you felt frustrated, annoyed or downright angry at something your ex did? If it was recently, or if you’ve ever thought, it would be so nice if they’d just do things the way I do them, then this episode is for you. In this episode, we'll explore the concept of 'manuals'—those pesky expectations we impose on others—and how releasing them can lead to dropping the excess suffering you’re feeling.
