Episode 196: Reset - Getting Beneath the Surface to See Real Change with Debra Fileta

Every year, people make new year’s resolutions. It's August, and by this time, most of us have probably forgotten what they were! There is a reason most people don't change their lives and their habits. Our guest for this episode, Debra Fileta, is an expert in this arena. In today’s conversation we are going to get under the hood and talk about how to actually change your habits with a reset.    As a Licensed Professional Counselor specializing in relationship issues and mental health, Debra Fileta knows that to achieve effective, long-lasting change, you have to know and understand what is happening on the inside. In her book, Reset: Powerful Habits to Own Your Thoughts, Understand Your Feelings, and Change Your Life, Fileta walks readers through 31 powerful and sustainable practices that will reset the way things have been done in the past in order to dive beneath the surface and bring insight to their thoughts and feelings, ultimately changing their life.    Debra is the author of True Love Dates, Choosing Marriage, Love in Every Season!, Are You Really Ok?, Married Sex and RESET. She’s also the host of the Love + Relationships Podcast. Her popular relationship advice blog TrueLoveDates.com reaches millions of people each year with the message of healthy relationships.   As mentioned in this podcast, if you are a woman in the greater Portland, Oregon, area and you want a headstart on your “reset”, join us for a contemplative prayer day at the Living Wholehearted Lodge & Retreat on September 22.  Learn more and register at www.livingwholehearted.com/prayer-retreat.
