Have an episode suggestion? Text us!So incredibly gracious for your understanding as we navigate the crazy schedules of youth sports and rework some of our older and favorite episodes. You can bet on us being back and better than every with new lessons, episodes, and perspectives as soon as we can come up for air and breathe a bit!In this Mindset Monday episode, we’re calling out one of the most common excuses people use to avoid changing: “You knew who I was when you married me.”It sounds logical. It’s not.That mindset freezes people in time and turns growth into something that feels like betrayal instead of responsibility. But adulthood doesn’t work like that. You don’t get to qualify once and coast forever. Not in your career, not in your health, and definitely not in your relationships.We also get into the conversation around shame, because people love to label it as toxic across the board. The truth is, not all shame is the same. Some of it keeps you stuck. Some of it is the exact thing that wakes you up. The difference comes down to whether you face it or protect your ego from it.At the core of this episode is a simple truth: Your ability to grow is directly tied to how much truth you can tolerate about yourself without running from it.If you’re stuck in the same patterns, struggling to rebuild trust, or frustrated with someone who refuses to change, this episode will hit exactly where it needs to.Find video clips and full length video from this episode on YouTube and our other social media pages!On the web:www.twfo.comSupport the Show:Buy Us a Coffee!Online Program: www.reclaiming-you.comSoberlink Device:www.soberlink.com/wheelsCheck out our blog:https://twfo.com/blogFollow us on TikTok:https://tiktok.com/@twfo_coupleFollow us on Instagram:https://instagram.com/twfo_couple/Follow us on Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/TWFOCoupleFollow us on YouTube:https://www.youtube.com/@twfo_coupleFind Taylor Counseling Group:https://taylorcounselinggroup.com/Donate to Counseling for the Future Foundation:Donate Here
