Episode Details

In this episode I talk with the wonderful Mindy Cope about the seven ground rules she has spent a decade collecting that have completely transformed the way she thinks, reacts, and shows up in her life. We talk about her faith journey, what gratitude has to do with faith, and how learning to trust her own inner voice changed everything. Then Mindy walks us through each ground rule one by one, most of them rooted in the teachings of Byron Katie, and shares real stories of how she has practiced them in everyday moments big and small. This one is full of so much wisdom and I took notes the entire time.
