Summary
I’ve talked on the podcast before about the stories we tell ourselves when it comes to the loss of our person. But I want to go a little deeper this week and show you how your brain is the only thing keeping you stuck in old pain, and how you can start choosing a new experience of the past right now without changing the facts of what happened in the past.

| 0:55.1 | Hey there, welcome back to another episode. So just to give you a little bit of an update, |
