Byron Katie (she goes by Katie) has changed my life, and you'll find out why and how in this interview! I can't think of a cooler or better interview with which to launch the LIBE podcast; she's my favorite author and spiritual teacher.

Eckhart Tolle loves her. Martha Beck loves her. Liz Gilbert loves her. YOU will love her too!

I've personally worked with a "The Work of Byron Katie" certified coach for YEARS. I tell my coach that if The Work were a superpower, it would be called the "problem dissolver."

I've never done The Work and NOT worked out a problem. I go from stressed to almost saintly, and my problem no longer causes me stress after using Byron Katie's method.

The Work is simply four questions that enable you to see what is troubling you in an entirely different light when applied to a specific problem.

THEY ARE MAGIC!

The four questions are:

1. Is it true?
2. Can you absolutely know that it's true?
3. How do you react, what happens, when you believe that thought?
4. Who would you be without the thought?

The next step of The Work, the turnarounds, are a way of experiencing the opposite of the thought that one is believing. For example, the thought "My husband should listen to me" can be turned around to "I should listen to my husband," OR "I should listen to myself."

How can all advice to others be self-advice? How can so much of what we believe NOT be true? You'll find out in this interview!

In 1986, Byron Katie was 43 with three children, unhappily married and suffering from depression, agoraphobia, overeating, and addiction to codeine and alcohol. This led her to live in a halfway house. She was lying on the floor (because she didn't feel worthy enough to sleep in a bed), and a cockroach crawled over her foot.

When she opened her eyes, she said, "It was as if something else had woken up. It opened its eyes. It was looking through Katie's eyes."

At that moment, the four questions appeared in her consciousness. It woke her up. She had the epiphany that only our thoughts and beliefs cause our stress and suffering - and nothing external. Nothing. NO thing.

If you're feeling stressed or emotionally exhausted, this interview is for you! I can't wait to hear what you think...

With love, 💕
