It's Louise from Team Porleo, and today we're kicking off a three-part series on Building Up Your Joy.

It's summer here in the U.S., and that's usually when things might slow down a bit, and we soak in the sunshine, so it's the perfect time to refuel.

First up, we're revisiting Marie's incredible conversation with the one and only Byron Katie.

With honesty and wisdom, they walk through Katie's four questions that will change your life.

It can help you turn off that negative chatter in your mind and bring you healing.

Let's jump right in.

Hi. Marie. Hi. Thank you so much for being here today. I figure we'll just get started.

Good. Good, good. So first, Katie, I want to thank you because the work has made such a tremendous impact on my life and continues to this day. So I am super grateful for this conversation. And for folks that are listening right now that may not know your

story, I'm wondering if you can share a little bit about what was happening way back in February

of 1986 and what life was like when you went to the Hope House?

Well, you know, it was years of depression, more than a decade of serious deep depression and

suicidal and it was, it was hard. Anyone that's been depressed understands, you know, what that's like.

And so, you know, it was tough.

And as I lay sleeping on the floor one day, I was so full of self-loathing,

I didn't believe I even deserved a bed to sleep in.

So I'd actually sleep beside my bed.

And one day as I lay sleeping, a bug crawled over my foot, and I opened my eyes.

And just like we all do, every morning, we wake up and we have the thought, I'm awake,

I'm late for work, I'll sleep a little longer.

You know, we, and just prior to that, we're fast asleep.

There really is no world in our consciousness.

And so this happened.
