Societal programming supports this with 24/7 news channels and drama-filled social media.So how do we begin to change our experience in the world by shifting our thoughts from constant negativity to at least finding a balance between negative and positive thoughts?We explore this and I give you simple tips to starting a daily “positivity” practice. I don’t advocate “false” positivity - I believe in really looking at what is going on under the surface. At the same time, we can spiral out of control in our negativity which keeps us stuck in old patterns and old stories. This is part of our courageous healing work.  If you are ready to go deep, get real and shift permanently, connect with me here to learn more about my individual 1-to-1 coaching program.This is Relationships Reimagined. Join me to be a part of this new paradigm of conscious, intentional and diverse relationships. ✴️ ✴️ ✴️ ✴️ ✴️ ✴️ Get Your Free Relationship Diversity Guidewww.relationshipdiversitypodcast.com To schedule a 30-minute clarity call and to get more information about working privately with me, click here. Connect with me:InstagramTikTokWebsite Get my book, “Why Do They Always Break Up with Me?

We are left on our own to figure it out and many times, unconsciously adopt what was modeled for us as a young child. How do we move from dysfunctional communication to supportive, connective communication? I give you 5 steps to begin this process. This is Relationships Reimagined. Join me to be a part of this new paradigm of conscious, intentional and diverse relationships. ✴️ ✴️ ✴️ ✴️ ✴️ ✴️Get Your Free Relationship Diversity Guidewww.relationshipdiversitypodcast.comConnect with me:InstagramTikTokWebsite Get my book, “Why Do They Always Break Up with Me?
