Do you have moments where you're as cool as a cucumber, some in which you're as hot as

a Carolina Reaper, and others where you feel the calm of a person who finally has their

shit, tocky together?

Every week on this show, I'll help you face life challenges with evidence-based approaches,

a sympathetic ear, and zero judgment.

Today I'm going to talk you through a concept known as the three states of mind and how
