Summary

In this episode, we dive deep into self-inquiry as I explore workplace frustration with my guest, Anna, a gymnastics coach. Anna cares deeply about her students and wants to create the best environment for their growth and development. But she's feeling overwhelmed by the management issues at her gym, which affect her ability to lead. Join us as we use The Work of Byron Katie to examine these frustrations and discover how to end suffering in our professional lives. This conversation is not just about gymnastics, but about personal growth and the importance of an open mind in overcoming challenges. (Part 1 of 2)
