About this listen

Coexisting but conflicting needs create self-sabotaging behaviors. This is why we resist efforts to change, often until they feel completely futile. But by extracting crucial insight from our most damaging habits, building emotional intelligence by better understanding our brains and bodies, releasing past experiences at a cellular level, and learning to act as our highest potential future selves, we can step out of our own way and into our potential.

For centuries, the mountain has been used as a metaphor for the big challenges we face, especially ones that seem impossible to overcome. To scale our mountains, we actually have to do the deep internal work of excavating trauma, building resilience, and adjusting how we show up for the climb. In the end, it is not the mountain we master, but ourselves.

Incredible

On my third time round listening. I’ve read and listened to so many self help and well being books. This book hits the bullseye… It has truly resonated with me. It will be my bible. Purchasing it will not leave you disappointed,I promise. So beautifully written, I felt as though Brianna was taking about my situations. This book has brought me so much clarity. It will be on repeat as I pick up new things and golden nuggets in it every time I listen.

SO GRATEFUL!!!

I am only on chapter 3 and this book has ALREADY changed my life. I can’t believe it, after 44 years of struggle and 20 in addiction I’m FINALLY starting to understand what is actually going on. It’s SO liberating, I feel like a new woman already!
Just GOLD throughout. The author is a genius.
