On being wrong | Kathryn Schulz | Ted

Scott wasn't ready for love when it suddenly appeared one summer. Emma was an international student and was willing to make a big move for their relationship. Scott said let's wait. Distance grew and they broke up.  He screwed up. He feels guilty for hurting her and possibly letting "the one" getaway. It's been 20yrs, and today, he finds his way through this haunting heartache. No more guilt, no more self-doubt or self-loathing. It's a fresh start and a new relationship with unconditional love.  We have a Patreon membership account!

Why is hindsight so powerful? One reason is the clarity with which we see the past. Our narrative has fewer gaps and we can see missed opportunities or the error in our ways.  It's often unpleasant to discover where we were wrong. It happens so often in relationships as we reflect on how it started one way and ended another.  I have found we are often hard on ourselves or amiss to the insights that our emotions cloud. How can we better embrace when we're wrong? How can we recover from those rough moments and emotions? Listen as we hear from Kathryn, a "wrongologist", who will shed some light on this topic.

Sometimes you miss the good things you had even though it was far from perfect. April struggled with anorexia and her boyfriend didn't quite get the scope of her pain. The relationship ended but the feelings remained.  He had big news - he's going to be a Dad! Any hopes of a future dissolved. She met someone new and he isn't the man she longs for... can you relate to being stuck in the sticky shadows between the past and present? Listen as April and I find a bridge to move past this inner torment. We have a Patreon membership account!

You'll learn about the monkey mind of immediate gratification and how the panic monster may or may not show up to save the day! Learn more at www.waitbuywhy.com

Falling in love is the phrase we've heard since birth. We've also learned falling hurts and "feeling" in love might not be so easy to sustain long-term. This is a topic Mandy addresses in her talk.
