Summary

(Part 2 of 2) In this episode, we explore self-inquiry through Ashlee's deeply personal story, which dates back to when she was twelve years old doing yard work with her dad. Feeling oppressed and stuck in that situation, Ashlee reflects on how those childhood emotions linger into her present as mother of a twelve-year-old daughter. The anger she is holding toward her father becomes a focal point as we move through the four questions and turnarounds of The Work, examining the thoughts that create her perceptions of their relationship. Join us as we navigate through these father-daughter dynamics and learn how to end our suffering. Get still, open your mind, and together let's do The Work!
