Summary

In this episode, we explore self-inquiry through the lens of a personal situation where Shana feels judged by her wife for forgetting to turn off the lights. This experience highlights the challenges many of us face in relationships, questioning feelings of judgment, control, and self-worth. By utilizing The Work of Byron Katie, Shana delves into self-inquiry to help her notice her thoughts, reduce her suffering, and foster healthier connections. Join Shana and me on this journey of personal growth as she learns to approach her relationship with an open mind. Together, let's do The Work and begin to end our suffering.
