We know that it can hurt when someone doesn't like you. Maybe you did something to offend them, they're jealous, or there may not be a reason at all. How do we get past the hurt or humiliation of another person not liking us? Listen to this episode for tips and coping tools on how to deal with this type of situation. Instead of worrying about why another person doesn't think that you're their cup of tea, let's learn to take care of ourselves and stop losing sleep over trying to control another person's narrative.

There's nothing we want more in a relationship than accountability. How do we admit we were wrong and not take a huge hit to our ego? The more accountable we are for our actions, the more people will trust us. Saying we're sorry, then changing the inappropriate behavior so that it doesn't happen again goes a long way with our friends, coworkers and loved ones. We also discuss the other side of accountability which is being able to receive an apology and what to do if we feel like we're being taken advantage of.

What is the difference between practicing idiot compassion versus wise compassion? Idiot compassion is when you're more focused on avoiding conflict and feeding your own ego. Wise compassion acts with courage and wisdom to address the root cause of another's suffering. Wise compassion gets to the heart of the issue instead of staying surface oriented and placating or enabling the other person. Idiot compassion can also be called "Yeslighting". In this episode, we dig into some of our own experiences of yeslighting, wise compassion and how it has changed the structure of our lives. We all need to learn how to bring more wisdom into our lives by practicing true compassion and accepting it when it's given.

We have a gut feeling that a lot of people out there need to hear this. Intuition used to be thought of as some kind of mystic psychic thing that people didn't really understand. Well, it's not magic...it's science! Albert Einstein thought intuition to be a "sacred gift" and "the only real valuable thing". He also believed that while the rational mind is a useful servant, intuition is the source of true discovery and innovation. Research shows that our "gut feeling" is rooted in past experiences, accumulated knowledge, and core instincts. At certain times, our brains are flipping through gobs of learned information at lightning speed to make sense of a situation. While this is happening, we might feel a bit sick to our stomachs, off balance, headachy or tingly. That is the "gut feeling". In this episode, we'll share with you why it's important to listen to your inner voice, how to pay attention to your intuition, and the benefits you receive when you learn how to do this.
