Embarking on a journey of personal growth often involves facing formidable emotional barriers that can seem impossible. In today’s episode, Dr. Phyllis delves into the complex web of emotions that entangle us during critical junctures of change. She adeptly addresses the multitude of thought triggers that frequently anchor us to our current circumstances, hindering our progress toward self-fulfillment and enlightenment. The key to our journey lies in recognizing and overcoming these internal stopsigns that prevent us from moving forward. Equally important is finding a safe tribe, a supportive community that can help us on our path to personal growth.
