In this episode of Shobukai Shift, listeners write in to tell their personal stories about why they struggle to deal with even small unexpected changes. In this introspective episode, host Mary Schaub delves into the deep-rooted origins of our emotional responses and the importance of self-reflection in personal transformation.

 The episode explores how our past experiences, particularly from childhood, create "hardwired" emotional responses to unexpected changes. Through listener stories, Mary illustrates how individuals can recognize these patterns and work towards more mindful, adaptive behaviors.


Takeaways:

💡 Our reactions to unexpected changes often stem from past experiences and childhood conditioning

💡Self-awareness is crucial in understanding and evolving our emotional patterns

💡Personal growth is a continuous process of learning and adapting

💡Childhood experiences significantly shape our current behavioral responses

💡Being gentle with ourselves during the process of self-discovery is essential
