What if you're not broken, just programmed?

Watch or listen

Wellbeing coach, PSYCH-K® facilitator, Reiki practitioner and founder of Be Your Happy Elkie Hughes joins Dom to challenge what personal growth is supposed to look like. What if the goal isn't to become a better version of yourself, but to stop rejecting the parts you've been trying so hard to fix? They get into subconscious limiting beliefs, the backpack we carry from childhood, trauma beyond the big dramatic events, the power of pausing before reacting, and why one minute of stillness a day can change your relationship with yourself.
