## Resource

In today's show, Maria continues her talk with John, and they discussed thoughts about the previous episode. John stated he was “stuck” for a week because he had no definite answer about why he paid for that meal. The conversation today is turning into a journey for John as the show becomes a place where John is learning and exploring his true authenticity, his attachment style, what is generational trauma, boundaries, and what an enmeshed family is. Thoughts and experiences are shared, and John continues to explore his personal experiences as his self-exploration is turning out to be a learning experience for him.
