EP208: Have a Conversation with Yourself with Corey Yeager

Author: Kristen Manieri October 18, 2022 Duration: 48:50

With all of its noise and distraction, this world we live in isn't really designed for regular personal reflection. And yet, it's in the quiet moments with ourselves that we come to listen to our thoughts, get to know who we are, and tap into our innate wisdom. In his new book, How Am I Doing?: 40 Conversations to Have with Yourself, writer and therapist Corey Yeager explores how we can use intentional conversations with ourselves to develop more trust, connection, clarity and confidence. This week we explore some of these conversations.
