My guest today is Abby Havermnn. On the outside, Abby was leading what could easily be described as an enviable life - a respected couples therapist, adjunct faculty at the graduate level, married with an adorable child, and a white picket fence to boot. But many of her life choices had unconsciously been made through the lens of unworthiness - choices that weren’t aligned for her. The Universe often does for us what we’re unable to do for ourselves, and Abby’s wake-up call was mortifying. She spent a long, dark night of the soul in an overcrowded jail cell when her relapsing addiction counselor husband had her bogusly arrested for domestic violence the day before she was scheduled to move out. That’s when Abby identified the myriad of ways she’d betrayed herself and shifted her focus from what she was doing in the world to who she was being. Through this process, she took back her power and, through the ensuing decades, has delved deeper into the human potential movement, trained with world-renowned thought leaders, and the rest is history. A lifelong learner, Abby’s singularity resides in combining her psychology, neuroscience, spiritual, and coaching experience with her ability to transform difficult life experiences into a gratitude-worthy self-evolutionary tool — awareness done right can breed transformation. Now, she teaches mission-driven, insight-oriented people to unlearn what no longer serves them through 1:1 and group coaching, speaking, training, and a soon-to-be-launched online course. Abby’s direct signature style challenges clients to up-level while witnessing and holding compassion for the complexity of their multifaceted inner and outer worlds. . In this episode we discuss not believing everything you think, the awake advantage, buffers, consciousness and self-betrayal.

“I think there is an epidemic of women who think that we can put our needs under the rug. It's really not a big deal, we're not betraying anybody else."- 00:04:29
“I think that people say that they're aware, but we really have no idea the programs that are working and the way that the ego is working, because it's so sneaky." - 00:41:35
“Don't believe everything you think and check your ego at the door. be as fiercely loving of yourself as you are honest with yourself.” 01:16:10
