## Resource

My first guest, Mark, is struggling to decide whether to sign a lease with his partner. He is convinced he must decide if he wants to stay in the relationship with her to sign the lease. Then, Nilofer is considering taking her ex-husband to court to ask for more child support. She considers him a deadbeat dad and feels that he owes her. As we sit in this ex-partner Work, she reflects on the statement, "I want him not to be a deadbeat dad," and asks, "Is it true?" Get still, open your mind, and let's do The Work! Don't miss Byron Katie LIVE every M-T-W, 9-10 am Pacific Time. Register: athomewithbyronkatie.com
