When you let your ego take the wheel, it distorts your view on reality. Cy Wakeman, drama researcher and best-selling author, says this leads to burnout, feelings of hopelessness, and self-sabotage. She believes those consequences are the ego’s desire to avoid self-reflection, so by switching gears and focusing more on your feelings rather than the stories the ego creates, we open ourselves up to having a more positive outlook. In the conclusion to our two-part special with Cy, you’ll hear about the challenges we face when trying to stay rooted in reality and what we can do to be more accountable. Listen in to learn Cy’s methods for moving through life with love and sending stress out the door.
