In this episode we begin a brief series where we focus on Brene Brown's wholehearted guideposts. If you have been listening for awhile, you have likely noticed (or heard in the intro episode) that we generally use the guideposts as our check-in of what is hard right now and our check-out of what is keeping us wholehearted.

We discuss what the guideposts are, why we like them, and how we use them in therapy. Then we dive into Authenticity (the antidote to worrying about what people think) and Calm and Stillness (the antidote to anxiety as a lifestyle).
