In this episode, I share a deeply personal conversation with Sallie Mosely about how our family of origin impacts our relationships and decisions. Sallie, a spiritual life coach, author, and musician who was in a long-term neurodiverse marriage shares her unique insights. We explore the role of unhealthy patterns and behaviors, delve into codependency, and discuss the liberating act of letting go of people who no longer serve us. We also examine the reasons why we chose our neurodiverse partners, and the journey towards conflict resolution, dispelling the lies we tell ourselves, and replacement role models. We unravel the unconscious hold of destructive cycles and how to begin to feel worthy and loved.

In this episode, we discuss The Rules Of The Mind with Rapid Transformational Coach and Hypnotherapist Michelle Carbone. The rules were developed by Marisa Peer and Gil Boyne. Marisa says," The rules of the mind explain how the mind works. Since our minds have control over both our emotions and our bodies, once we understand how the mind works, we can then use our minds to directly influence our emotions and bodies."
Our guest, Michelle Carbone, discusses the rules and how they affect us and our neurodiverse relationship. She also explains Rapid Transformational Therapy and how it helps you reframe negative beliefs. We examine why our minds love the familiar and why change causes upset. We talk about how recognizing our patterns can lead to breakthroughs. We also look at the downside of managing your partner and ways to handle meltdowns. Michelle shares the looping thought ladder with us and how our beliefs affect our health. We also discuss getting out of our comfort zone to change our perspective. This informative hour looks at how our thoughts and beliefs shape our lives and how we have control to make positive changes.
