“I’ve got my ANT stomping boots on…and I’m ready to stomp ANTs (Automatic Negative Thoughts) and anything else that gets between me and the road less traveled…I’m headed onward and upward! I bought my boots and did what you said…I went dancing and joined in the Cotton Eyed Joe and yelled “BULLSH*T at the top…
“Life is just hard.” “This is all so unjust, so, so, so unfair!” “I can’t see any way forward. It feels like the entrance to a dead-end street!” “The only hope I have left is that this hopelessness will stop pursuing me!” “I’m weary. I’m done. My body is screaming ‘I can’t do this anymore’!”…
“Maybe my wife was right when she said I was brain dead…heart dead. I knew what she meant because I don’t do the romance thing. But now that I’ve listened to the video you sent me by Dr. Andrew Huberman, and have taken the brain health test by Dr. Daniel Amen, she just might be…
“Sometimes I feel like I’m brain dead, or at the very least, my brain is in a thick fog at sea. And I don’t know if it’s because I’ve crossed the 40-year mark, or if it’s due to menopause, or if my brain is just worn down. I’ve been to multiple specialists, and they assured…

“Why is the pain and misery back? I did all the work in your Surviving to Thriving workshop about 8 years ago. Things went well for a while. But now it’s back. What am I supposed to do? I cannot tell you how much I hate this!” I leaned in with understanding and resisted any…
“Just doing the prep work has diminished misery and suffering in my life. But it still shows up way too often…you promised me we could expect it to go, and I’m ready! And my wife is MORE than ready!” I smiled and nodded as I proclaimed, “I am sure she is more than ready! You…
“Suffering and misery. Those are the only two switches that I have in my life. I just can’t do it anymore!” So many people come to my office with the words “suffering” and “misery” as their life descriptors. It’s absolutely heartbreaking to hear.
