  • Why Changing Beliefs Feels Hard (But Can Be Worth It)(138)
    Nov 5 2024

    Tera welcomes the co-creator of Connection Codes, Echo Hill Vetter. She’s a trauma informed coach as well as a parenting and lead coach. Today they’re discussing the power of beliefs and how they shape our identities, often keeping us in what Echo calls a "tiny little box." As they talk about the emotional weight of Election Day, they explore why differing perspectives can feel threatening and how fear plays a central role in our reactions. Tera and Echo discuss the impact of generational experiences and challenge you to approach differing beliefs with curiosity rather than judgment. Tera shares her own journey toward openness, encouraging you to stay connected to yourself and others, even when it feels uncomfortable.

Forgiveness doesn’t mean you don’t still have the emotional pain.

Great topics for relationships to understand the underlying emotions. Helps you to know others couples are experiencing similar situations. You are not alone.
