Episode 15 is also part 4 in this mini series, exploring the 70 pg wee book - Successful Outside, Struggling Inside. This episode recaps the prior 3 episodes, before taking a deep dive into The Rulebook installed in childhood, reinforced into adult years, that hijacks your current reality as it creates all sorts of shenanigans while it is left unchecked. Quite literally, it is like having your 5 year old self make decisions for your 40ish year old self today. We take a close look at what the Rulebook is, where it comes from, what it does, and a few ways (out of countless ways) to change it. I used lived experience, and real life examples from my life to bring the rulebook to life, and illustrate how it operates, and more importantly, how it changes. This episode is for my younger self, circa 2013, the woman whose life would demonstrate more than her fair share of dumpster fires across business, personal, financial, and physical. Resources mentioned in this episode include: A Daily Practice to restore your nervous system to a minimum viable baseline. This is mine to inspire your own version.
