From Mayhem To Mindset With Dr. Laura

We may choose the wrong relationships, behave impulsively, or self-sabotage. Why do we continue to behave this way and how can we break the pattern? It's all about mindset! We may be influenced by external factors, but our early childhood programming sets the stage for how we view ourselves, others, and the world. Join Dr. Laura and guests as we discuss how to reprogram your mindset for success in all areas of your life. Stop surviving, live with intention, and start thriving!
