We are taught our inner bitch or alter ago is a bad thing. I wholeheartedly disagree. It is usually the unhealed, conditioned version of us. Some of us internalize it and many of us lash out in response to triggers. All we need is a healthy understanding of it in order to become our assertive selves.

Sometimes we question every aspect of our lives from relationships to life purpose. What we don't realize is that we are programmed to react certain ways when we are hurt or unsure and this can be very harmful. Reprogramming takes place when we recognize the patterns and decide to change.

A good friend of mine and awesome glass ceiling shatterer, Michelle Nocito joins us to talk about what she is passionate about and a recent event that changed her outlook on life.

Fired up by someone else's comments or perception...Today is definitely REAL and RAW me. We can't let people rent space in our minds any longer. Time to break free.

We are talking about all of our lives being conditioned to feel guilt and shame, and how we torture ourselves daily as a result. Suffering from this harmful pattern is a choice and I am telling you how I finally figured that out.
