Summary

Today it’s just me, sharing a few revelations I’ve had this summer around: The set ages we seemingly get stuck at. Emotions I’m connecting to for the first time in my life (and how certain codes of anger have helped me). How busyness impacts our physical patterns and the way we hold our bodies, or clench our weight. And practicing rejection and building our capacity to hear no, while simultaneously building our capacity to say no. (In this month’s solo episode, I also get into some life-altering experiences I’ve had with different healers, and the new list I compiled of my favorite healers.) For the show notes, links to all the resources I mention in the episode, and my new workbook Choosing Wholeness Over Goodness—head over to my Substack.

1:13.2	sale tomorrow. This is a workbook companion to honor best behavior, though you don't need
1:20.1	to have read honor best behavior to work this process and use these tools. It works in any
1:26.5	space of your life. Although the paperback of
1:30.8	honor best behavior is out tomorrow too. For all you paperback lovers, I love a paperback
