Today my sister and fellow podcaster Natalie Clay joins me to talk about why all of our problems are, at their root, thought problems. We talk about why it's so tempting to think that our situation is the problem - rather than our thoughts about the situation - and how to start shifting away from this mindset.

On this episode of the podcast, I'm walking through why every relationship we have exists entirely in our own mind.

Part of our ability to interact with one another in an appropriate way means we censor ourselves. This is healthy and I wouldn't want you to drop it. But sometimes we have an opportunity to be more honest with one another about what we think or feel.
