7 O'clock On The Dot, In The Drop Top ... Choose Another Street

In this episode of Shewolf Alchemy Podcast, we discuss the poem "Autobiography in Five Chapters" by Portia Nelson. Ashley and Ress discuss recognizing patterns and changing from a fixed mindset to a growth mindset. Ashley talks about relational patterns and taking accountability for the part she played in it. She describes being in a romantic entanglement and realizing that she was in an emotional black hole when she didn't feel comfortable sharing with her close friends what she was going through. Ress discusses recognizing where your inner critic thoughts came from, are you in your thirties being bullied by thoughts that were formed in childhood, before you even had the ability to form complex thoughts? At what point do you recognize your patterns? At what point are you responsible for the emotional 'holes' you keep falling into? If you walk down a street and know there's a big hole there that you're always tempted to fall into... why not take another street?
