From Mayhem To Mindset With Dr. Laura
Hosted by Laura Ellick · EN
Some people may say that they thrive in chaos, but for most of us, living in a world of madness and mayhem can send us spiraling. 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!
