People confuse power with something nefarious. We all need power over our lives to be the driver of our own destiny. Where it gets sticky is when people impose power over others to pacify their own fear of inadequacy as if intimidation and distress are the only ways to motivate. It's dominance over relevance.

So, what do we do with them to stop the happiness hemorrhage when things don’t go according to plan? In this episode we talk about how to recognize the fictional stories you tell yourself, the harm they do to your peace, and how they feed into expectations – the ultimate thief of your happiness and closeness with your family.

Why with your free time there are things you care about, but there never seems to be enough time to get to them. In this episode we talk about how understanding the difference between what you need and what you want opens the door to clarity about how to stop the stuck behaviors that bring more suffering.
