In this episode, Lauren Edmunds shares a gentle and highly practical approach to helping children, friends, and even ourselves break out of automatic habits. True transformation can only happen when we move away from unconscious reactions and step into deliberate thinking. Lauren breaks down her step-by-step method for highlighting unhelpful habits without triggering defensive shame.
