Welcome to The Work of Byron Katie® official podcast. Invite your mind to stillness, pay attention as you relate what you hear to your own life, and experience the thrill of waking up to reality—not as some exalted state of mind, but as the elementary, doable, down-to-earth experience of understanding the cause of all suffering and how to end it.
Hello. This is Byron Katie, and I welcome you to the “At Home with Byron Katie” podcast.
Each week you’ll find me here with a different guest. I love the life experience each one brings to the table, and I hope you will too.
Is there a problem in your world? Is there someone in your life, past or present, who resembles my guest or the person my guest is upset with?
We exercise our bodies, but what about our minds? Think of this podcast as mental hygiene. I marvel at each guest’s courage, and I invite you to relax, get comfortable, and open your mind to inquiry. Let’s do The Work.

#122: A Worried Mother’s Work • The Work of Byron Katie®
My client, Monica, is terrified for her adult daughter, who is taking prescribed meds. Monica and her entire family are all moving through a very difficult situation as a family unit. I have included Monica’s Judge-Your-Neighbor Worksheet below for those of you who want to follow the thoughts above on Monica’s Worksheet that are causing her suffering.
Worksheet:
1. My daughter shouldn't take medication. She should handle life without medical help.
2. I want my daughter to go through life without any medications.
3. She should go through life without meds and use a strong inside.
4. I need her to go through life the strong way that I did.
5. She is weak, lost, addicted, lost her mind, and can be even worse than she is now.
6. I don't ever want to see my daughter so depressed and taking medication.
You can download your own Judge-Your-Neighbor Worksheet on TheWork.com. And now, with or without your own Worksheet, I invite you to close your eyes, get still, follow along, and notice as you begin to realize your own discoveries as Monica and I question the cause of her suffering and how to end it.

#119: I Can’t Lose My Granddaughter • The Work of Byron Katie®
My client and her daughter are terrified as her two-year-old granddaughter, having swallowed a quarter, is choking on it. As her granddaughter’s eyes roll back in her head, she finally goes limp, and my client thinks, “We’re Losing Her!”
See her terrifying thoughts below:
I am terrified of what is happening to her because “if we lose her, the pain will be unbearable. I want her to keep living and be available for this love I feel for her. She should not leave us, should not devastate us, should stop choking, and should start breathing. To be happy, I need her to live. She is going to die. She won’t be available to experience my love. She’s not going to live a full life as she should. I don’t ever want her to die before I do.

#118: My Mom Suffers from Dementia and Won't Take her Meds • The Work of Byron Katie®
My guest today is Anne, whose mother is suffering from dementia. To support you to follow along, here is her Worksheet. Let’s do The Work.
Worksheet:
My mom suffers from dementia and won't take her meds. I want my mom to take her meds. I want her to at least take the antibiotic (for the delusions). (Advice to my mom:) My mom should help herself to get better, and understand that she needs to take her meds. (For me to be happy:) I need my mom to stop saying ridiculous things. Mom is afraid, a hard worker, ridiculous, unreasonable, stubborn, and self-sufficient. I don’t ever want my mom to refuse to take the medicine again.

Customer Reviews
A lifetime of suffering can end now
There’s no situation that can not be solved using The Work and we are extremely fortunate to have its creator here to guide us and show as with her heart what is possible.
Gentle strength
Byron Katie’s clarity matches each caller with patience and confidence. When I listen, I can find a time when I thought and felt just like the caller. I look inside for my own answers, while their answers seem to deepen mine. So glad these recordings are available to all of us. ❣️
Agree - most powerful tool I’ve found next to meditation
This is an amazing tool for examining the stories we tell ourselves and the impact the stories have on our lives. It’s a gift.
