Have you ever felt completely at peace during inner work—only to hesitate when it's time to dive deeper? In this powerful episode of Wiggle Room, we explore a unique moment in The Work of Byron Katie: the shift from inner peace in Question Four to the more grounded, reality-facing turnarounds. Many who practice The Work encounter resistance right at this turning point—feeling serenity and not wanting to stir the emotional waters again. This episode dives into that resistance, helping you understand how to carry peace into the practical world. Discover why turnarounds aren't a step backward but a grounding practice to make your inner insights real and lasting. Listen in on a powerful real-time inquiry into the thought "I should be playing more time"—an emotional and relatable dive into ego, expectations, and self-worth.
