    January ... 2023 month in review

    This was a packed review show since we missed the one in November. We started with the discussions on Assertiveness and included the conversation about Santa and Holidays. While most people will see holidays as a joyous time, the reality is that they are usually accompanied by stress because of logistical challenges and seeing people you normally don't see. How do you handle yourself during and after the holidays. Then we did a quick overview on the shows about commitment issues and then we finished up with discussing how to repair false beliefs.

Once identified, then you must take the time to work on repairing those false beliefs that have been created from those past experiences and traumas.
