The Challenge of Change

Change is never easy and requires personal growth and conscious living from the person seeking it.


In this episode of The Beauty of Conflict, Susan and CrisMarie discuss the challenging nature of change as a continuous process and the need for a conscious relationship with oneself throughout it. CrisMarie shares personal experiences related to a 12-step Adult Children of Alcoholics program and neural retraining, highlighting the importance of finding inner peace and safety for making more conscious choices in life. Throughout this conversation, Susan and Crismarie delve into the impact of unconscious habits formed in early life on relationships and personal well-being. They also explore topics like the known versus the unknown, neural maps in the brain, the role of the brain, emotions, and the heart, as well as the significance of play and self-compassion in facilitating change.


Listen to this episode for a thought-provoking exploration of the neuroscience of change, unveiling the power of play, self-compassion, and cultivating choice in the pursuit of personal transformation!
