“We cannot shame ourselves into change, we can only love ourselves into evolution.” A mindset reframe is necessary to truly change and transform, so how do we do that? And in a way that builds us up? This week on Carlie’s Couch, Carlie & Lex explore the framework for lasting change and evolution in our lives.

In this episode of Carlie’s Couch, Carlie and Lex discuss their thoughts on a few of Robert Greene’s 48 Laws of Power.
Law 8. Make Other People Come to You—Use Bait if Necessary
Law 17. Keep Others in Suspended Terror: Cultivate an Air of Unpredictability
Law 34. Be Royal in Your Own Fashion: Act like a King to Be Treated Like One
Law 24. Play the Perfect Courtier
Law 9. Win through actions, not through argument.
Law 11. Learn to Keep People Dependent on You
How do you feel about the book and these laws? Are they sound advice or are they too manipulative for you? Do you have to play a game to succeed in life?

Let your life inspire your work. This week on Carlie’s Couch, self-taught mixed media artist Tyvette Symone joins us to discuss her new solo art exhibit, Reflections of the Human Condition. Each of the pieces featured explore a symbolic representation of symptoms from her personal journey with Bipolar I. She often explores the symptoms of mental illness intimately in her art and aims to inspire and de-stigmatize the conversation around mental health through sharing her own personal experiences within the composition of her work. As someone living with this mental illness, she hopes to share a small glimpse of what it means to process the experiences that come with it.
The exhibit opens March 28th and there will be an artist talk on Saturday, March 30th from 6-7pm in honor of World Bipolar Day with a reception to follow. The exhibition will be on view until Sunday, March 31st from 1pm-9pm each day. It’s free, RSVP here.
