Summary

I'd like to introduce you to my friend Myrtle. She's a backseat driver. The kind you can't ignore. She's MY backseat driver. And yours. Myrtle thinks she's the help-iest thing ever. She’s a big reason behind many of our behavior patterns. The places and ways we're stuck. Our self-sabotage. Myrtle is the explanation for a lot of our recurrent fears. She’s loud, proud, and she never shuts up. She provides the same old thoughts that plague us, day after day, year after year. What do we do with Myrtle? (Not to mention the bus full of other backseat drivers, in this case, younger versions of yourself.) It starts with realizing there are “no bad parts” in us, including Myrtle. I’ll tell you all about it in this episode, one of five upcoming sessions featured in the Flying Free program. The breakthroughs: - Who Mad Mama is (and why she’s trying to protect me and you) - Why I decided to become my own mother (sounds crazy, huh?) - How to “drive your car” in a different direction when you have a freak-out session - The thought exercise I did to heal from the trauma of losing my relationship with my mother - A better approach to losing your relationship with your older/adult kids (a common heartbreaking occurrence for divorced women of faith) - A definition of trauma (it’s different for everybody) - What firefighters and “I’d like to speak to the manager” have to do with each other - Why trying to deal with multiple thoughts at a time doesn’t work (and that’s okay!) Listen or download the transcript at flyingfreenow.com/197 FREE: I'll send you the first chapter of my book, Is It Me? Making Sense of Your Confusing Marriage.
