And understanding this is the difference between creating the lasting change you desire and quitting on yourself.

86. Creating Safety in Your Nervous System
I delve this week into a crucial topic that often sparks confusion: the distinction between emotions and nervous system reactions, and why it's essential to discern between the two.

By embracing discomfort and cultivating a supportive relationship with yourself, you'll unlock the pathway to growth and step into your true potential.
